Of sovereignty, ended by convincing

ciusion that the pomp and ceremony

We're superfuous. The natural and
inevitable result was that the court
itself became superfiuous in their eyes,
and then the monarchy. So at last
they intimated to Dom Pedro that he
was no longer needed as Emperor,
shipped him and his family off to Eu-
rope to enjoy the delights of the sim
pie life, and proclaimed a republic at
Rio. King Gustaf should bear this in
mind in making his projected expert
ment. 1t is one which is not entirely

DIET SYSTEM OF THEIR
OWN.
Two Policemen Who Have
Solved Problem of Decreas-
ing Weight.

The really simple life is the life for
Sergeant James Hogan and Patrolman
Robert ]. Coffey of the traffic squad.
These two giants of the police force
have been on diet for about six weeks
and declare that every day finds them
feeling better and more active. The
carnage in the ranks of avoirdupois,
incidentally, has been fearful, some
seventy units of this commodity hav-
ing already succumbed.
All this is because the two realized
they were growing too stout. AS they
take enough exercise to keep the nor
NAL man in good condition, they at
tackled food, the only vulnerable spot
they could find. Not only food. but
water, also, during certain hours, is
absolutely tabooed. For years the wa
ter wagon has been the place Tor them
and falling off this vehicle has not
the meaning it conveys in the mind of
the ordinary person. On the allegori-
cal water wagon both officers have
been enthroned so many years that
they have almost moved up to the
drivers seat.
Noon is breakfast for both. Hogan
does not even drink water before that
hour, but his associate INDUCES in just
one cup of coffee Immediately after
the rising hour. At noon they eat a
hearty meal, leaving out fat meat,
n
like the best meal of their lives, they
say. Formerly both were fond of the
sort of diet that puts on the adipose.
At the evening meal, Hogan again
is to the front. Graham bread and
butter. is his favorite food then, while
Coffey eats heartily. Then there is abb
stinence until the next noon.
In the point of time, however, Cof-
fey carries the palm. 1t is eight weeks
and more since he began his semi-fast.
Hogan has been at it for six weeks.
Neither has given up smoking and
each declares that cigar tastes better
now than ever before.
Here are few figures showing the
changes made by diet:
Hogan: Decrease in weight, thirty
eight pounds; decrease in girth, five
inches.
Coffey: Decrease in weight, thirty
one pounds; decrease in girth, six inch
es.
"And it's a fine thing for the wo-
men folks declares Hogan in a burst
of confidence. They don't have to
get up in the morning to get break
fast for u.s." Which makes one Won
der whether the wives had anything
to do with the dieting, especially when
it's cold of morning.

FLEET rs A BIG MAGNET.

The cruise of the battIeship fleet
along the west coast of South America
may interfere with the plans of the
yacht Galilee, which, under a grant Of
the Carnegie institution of Washing
ton, is making a magnetic survey OF
the Pacific ocean. The Galilee is now
at Christchurch, New Zealand, and
after completing her survey work in
that vicinity, she is expected to sail
for Callao.
The Galilee has completed survey
work in the northern part of the Paci-
fic ocean, and since August, 1905, when
the expedition started out, has cruised
about IS, 900 miles from the Aleutian
islands to Christchurch. The object or
the investigation is to ascertain the
magnetic variation in various parts OF
the ocean for the information Oh
mariners and for the correction of the
existing charts.
The battleship fleet will arrive at
Callao on February IS, and will re-
main there until February %. The
Galilee will probably avoid that port
until after the departure of the battle
shin feet because of the fact that the
delicate magnetic instruments she car
ries would be seriously oerahgeo
should the yacht approach too near
the battleship fleet. The Galilee Will
reach San Francisco next May.

NAMED AFTER BATTLES.

Many men bear the names Of battles
The man who fined the Standard Oil
Company s29. oO0o 900, Judge Kenesa"
Mountain Lands. was named in COM
memoration of the battle in which his
father was wounded.
AS that engagement occurred in 1854
and Judge Lands was born in 1866, ms
peculiar name cannot have been be-
slowed on the spur of the moment.
A similar instance of peculiar pater-
nal choice in naming child Is EXHIBIT
ed in the case of Captain Malvern Hlli
Barnum, of the regular army. his
father must have had some reason AKIN
to that of the elder Lands, for whlie
the battle was fought in 1852, captain
Barnum was not born until fourteen
months afterward.
Possibly there are military assocla-
lions which civilians cannot under
stand that make certain events OF
peculiar significance in the lives OF
veterans.
