CONG ENiAL WORK And Strength to Perform It.

A person in good health is likely to have genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work.
 On the other hand. if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food. work becomes drudgery.

 Like many other girls alone in a large city, lived at boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat. soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
 After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a ter rible effort, and thought the work was to blame-too arduous.
 'At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast.

Pure Air Made to order.

A man of science in Berlin has taken to running ordinary air through ma chine to make better stuff to breathe of it. Not satisfied that the atmosphere which nature furnishes for the purpose is all that it should be, he has under taken to make of it more acceptable and useful and valuable human asset. The only queer thing about the matter, too. is that he is accomplishing it. Everybody knows that oxygen in our air is a good thing It is possible to get too much of it, like other good things. but there is comparatively lit tie suffering caused among members of the human race. just at this stage of the worlds life, by a superabund- ance of this particular desirable. In fact, sometimes it seems as if many of us were trying to see how little of it we can assimiate, without actual as phyXiation, instead of enjoying a full measure as one of the luxuries of ex- istence. But it isn't always our own AAuILs IL SCGt1lS, anu lAdt HdS tARN ADC4- liner, Dr. Fischer by name, a member of the faculty of the famous Berlin university. has produced his inven- tion.

The trouble is that we have too little sun, because of our smoke and our dust and our roofs, under which We stay too large a portion of the time when the ozone-producer is working.

PASSING OF FROST
NEW MExICO'S BLIND BOSS A
 PICTURESQUE FIGURE.
Labored for Statehood for Many Years Victory in Sight When Mind Fails Him and He Is Taken
 to a Sanitarlum.

New York-Almost coincident with the announcement from Washington that practically all opposition to statehood for New Mexico had disap- peared, comes the word from Santa Fe that Col. Max Frost, long known as the blind boss of territorial poll. tics, has been taken to a sanitarium at Kansas City on account of his mental condition. Max Frost has la. bored for statehood for more than 30 years. That his mental condition Is such that he hardly realizes that vic. tory at last has crowned his efforts must be regarded as one of Fate's grimmest ironies.
 The passing of Max Frost from pub lie life in this melancholy manner ter. inmates one of the most picturesque and remarkable careers in the his tory of the southwest. For years he has been totally blind, and paralyzed to such an extent that he has been un- able to walk step. In addition. he has been afflicted with a malady that rendered his bones so brittle that two years ago he broke his jaw in the sim pie act of yawning, and a few weeks ago a similar mishap occurred while he was engaged in an animated con- versation.

HONESTY GIVES POSITION TO
 AMERICAN IN TURKEY.
Bucknam Pasha Made Admiral in Navy Because He Wouldn't Graft In Buying Ships for
 Abdul H amid.

Constantinople-T American em- bassy and the consulate have received inquiries in the past few months from railway builders, ship building con- panies and concession hunters in the United States asking about conditions and opportunities here. and several Americans interested in one or moro of these enterprises have already ar rived.
 The recent visit of part of the American round-the-world fleet to Turk ish waters could not have come at a better moment for the interests of American investors. Ten young Turk ish officers, all of them men of the new movement, left Smyrna with the fleet for a visit to New York, Washing ton. and probably other American cit ies. These are picked men, whose re- ports of what they see in America will have influence with the new govern ment.
 It was Bucknam Pasha. the Amer ican admiral in the Turkish service, who conceived the idea of taking the Turkish officers to America, and put the project through. The experiences of Bucknam Pasha since 1904. when he became an officer in the Ottoman navy. have been paralleled by many an ad- venturous Englishman, but Americans do not often possess that spirit which takes men into strange services in strange countries.
 Capt R. D. Bucknam came to Con- stantinople in command of the Medji- dia, cruiser built for the sultan's navy by the Cramps Company. After he had delivered the ship an audience

was given him by Abd-ul-Hamid, who asked him to be captain in the Turk ish service and one of his aide-de- camps. Since that time Bucknam has made a name for himself among the Turks and has been decorated with the order of the Medjidieh
 Bucknam Pasha is the first Christian to have actual command of MOham- medans, a distinction which even Ho- bart Pasha, the British admiral of the Crimean war. did not enjoy. It has been the custom of the Turks to place beside every foreign officer a Mohammedan of equal rank having au- thority to command.
 Bucknam Pasha won the sultan's fa- vor by his honesty, thing so rarely found in the imperial entourage of the old regime It was the custom of continental shipbuilders to get from the sultan as much money as possible for ships as worthless as his officers would accept. For example, the sul- tan paid for one ship the sum of s1,650,0 900, of which s1.200000 was pocketed by his own officers, only $450,0 going to the contractors. who might be said to have done well in delivering an iron tub with guns and machinery of sort worth altogether about s300,000.
 On seevral occasions the American pasha, who was generally sent to Flu. rope to receive these ships when ready for delivery, refused to accept the yes. sels until material changes had been made, bringing them up to contract re, Quirements By his scruples he won for himself no friends among the shipbuilders of the particular govern. ment which had the monopoly of Turk. ish contracts prior to the proclamation of the constitution.
 On one occasion note from the embassy of that country suggested that the builders of new vessel would prefer some one else to re ceive the new ship. In reply to their note Capt Bucknam, or Bucknan Bey, as the term goes here, became an admiral, with the title of pasha.

at last his mind gave way, he retained his grasp upon public affairs, edited the most influential newspaper pub lished in the southwest territories, at tended to the minutest details of his many business interests and main tained his position as dictator of Republican party politics In New Mex ico.
 Frost went to New Mexico in 1876 as chief of the United States military telegraph lines in the territory He superintended the building of the tele- graph line from Santa Fe to Fl Paso and thence to Phoenix. As the man who made the wires talk" both the Indians and the native Mexicans looked upon him as possessed of SUI pernatural powers. This was really the foundation of his practical dicta- torship. The native Mexican element of the population followed him with blind devotion, giving him control of the balance of power. Under Acting Governor Ritch, Gov Lew Wallace and Gov. Lionel A. Sheldon, he held commissions as adjutant general of the territory. In that capacity he rid New Mexico of cattle rustlers, and took part in several exciting Indian campaigns. Later he was appointed colonel of the First regiment of the New Mexico National Guard putting down serious Indian uprising in Rio Arriba county. In this campaign he was thrown from his horse, receiving injuries that ultimately terminated in blindness and paralysis seven years ago.
 From the administration of Acting Governor Ritch down to the present time Frost is credited with having been the power behind the throne in the New Mexico capital. Even during President Cleveland's two administra- tions, when Democratic governors were appointed for the territory. his dictatorship remained unshaken. Two years ago Gov. Hagermann incurred the bitter enmity of the Blind Boss. Hagermann's removal soon followed. and then came the appointment of the present governor, George Curry
 Col Frost made trip to New York in November for the purpose of con- sulting specialists. These gave him no hope of any improvement in his con- dition On the contrary they told him he had not long to live. No doubt this verdict preyed upon his mind In any event, it was not long after his re- turn to Santa Fe that he began ma king large gifts of money to the vari. ous churches of the city When re- monstrated with by his friends. who told him that he was giving beyond his means, he waved them aside. say ing: Never mind. I bought all of Andrew Carnegies interests when I was in the east. and have plenty of money to spare" It was then per ceived that his mind was failing, and his removal to a private sanitarium | followed.

 How did you get control Of all these railroads? What did you do?"
 MT. Hartman smiled and replied:

 What is your salary?' asked the court.
 Nothing, was the unexpected an swer.

The following was told of the pa tient of a well-known New York phy- sician:
 The patient, an elderly gentleman, became quite i'll while the doctor was absent upon vacation, the indisposi- tion being the result of too frequent potations. A female nurse was at once engaged to care for him in his hotel.
 A lady, residing in the same hotel, became aware of his illness, and in' terested herself to the extent of one morning inquiring concerning his con- dition of the ehambermaid.

Wrinkles are in many eases caused by bad temper-especially in a woman. The average man prizes physical and mental comfort above the glory of pos sessing for a wife a beautiful, attrac- tive creature with an uncomfortable temper, for he knows that peace and content and bad temper walk not to- gether. The assertion from a woman that she has g bad temper, and is proud Of it, has kept more than one man from asking her to be his wife. The woman who can control herself under the most trying circumstances is the woman who holds the strongest power in the home; and amiability is not only power, it is mental progress sion, health and happiness to the pos sessor thereof and to the lucky ones who move in her orbit. Giving way to bad temper shortens life, says the New York Weekly. When you tell wom- an that each time she loses control of her temper she unhinges a moral brain cell and weakens by several degrees her ability for self-control. and at the same time strengthens tremendously her chances for an attack of nervous prostration, you are wasting breath. But when she is cool and serene, and at peace with all the world, if you can convince her that each fit of temper adds months to her age by weakening her mental force and by tracing crow tracks about her eyes and ugly lines around her mouth, she will probably think twice before again forgetting herself. For, no matter what she as- serts to the contrary, woman prizes youth and beauty above other gifts.

A rare old picture was cut from the frame in New York art gallery when the guard was not looking Now a large reward is offered for a clew to the thief. It is beyond understanding what anyone would want with a pie ture secured in that way. If it couldn't be framed and hung on the wall and it's history and price explained to call CTS what would be the use of having it? A cheap chromo would be much more seryiceable. No one would care to hide it in the bottom of trunk to gloat over unless he were a picture miser, and the thing couldn't be sold for anything but old paper rags unless the seller could furnish a written guar anty that it was genuine We cant see why anyone should steal a thing of that sort, exclaims the Chicago Daily News, unless he was an amateur thief who felt that he needed the practice.
