of Wales, and their children. All the
tenants at Sandringham were sent

were personally cared for by Queen

or a week before Christmas. to see the
king and queen paying quiet visits to-
the stores in Bond and Regent streets
They like to mingle with the holiday
shoppers and to select their presents

When time and pressing engage

their goods to the royal palace, and
from these the king and queen make
their selections.

With each gift it is the kings usual
custom to send little not of greet

is more valued by the recipient than
the latter would be.

Queen Alexandra.

Finds Another Weedsport,

Otis Skinner has been surprised to
learn that there are two Weedsports,
each possessed of an opera house One
of them (the one that he already
knew about was the country town
where the first act of Your Humble
Servant is laid. The other he now
discovers is on the map of New York
state. Weedsport Of the Tarkington-
Wilson play is supposed to be some
where in the ideal west of the drama
lists imagination. The name, it
must be confessed, was invented be-
cause it sounded like the Jay name
of Jay" place. Whereas, the real
Weedsport, called after some ucsune
Romulus named Weed, is one of tie
most charming of the sleepy, central
New York towns, and not far from
Syracuse.
Mr. Skinner made this interesting
geographical discovery while playing
a recent engagement in Your Humble
Servant" in Syracuse. Between the
acts, one night, caller was ushered
in who described himself as the man
ager Of the Opera house in Weedsp port.
He was a courtly, simple old gentle
man whose traditions of the stage
were of the days of Booth, and he let
it out that he had come up to SYRIA
cuse because he had heard that the
Harrington play was localized in his
Weedsport and on his opera house
stage.
Il tried gently to underceive him.
said Mr.. Skinner, threading the lines
in the play which refer to Weedsport

which is an extensive one.
OF course the gift made to de-
pendeCts are not as costly nor as hand
some as those purchased for relatives
and friends, but they are carefully
chosen.
Queen Alexandra often follows the
custom of Queen Victoria, whose habit
it was to present dress goods, shawis
etc. to female members of the royal
household King Edward, too, some
times includes pairs OF good slippers
servants, but cigarette and cigar eases
and pipes are his usual presents to
these people.
And in addition to the members" OF
the royal household. each employee On
the Sandringham estate also receives

For the past five years she has been
playing the part of the old southern
nanny throughout the south and has
made a close and careful study Of the
negress in her haunts. The result Is
that she interprets the character as

such as one would find on an old Vir-
ginia plantation in the ante bellun

She has Incorporated into the lines

Telegram Cost Thousands,

Charles Frohman was a passenger
in the dining car of the Twentieth
Century Limited, returning to New
York from Chicago when the news
reached him of the accident that sent
John Drew to the hospital and closed
the Empire theater. He and one OF his
assistants were at the oysters when a
messenger. calling telegram for
Charles Frohman," came bawling into
the car
A moment later he was reading, ~.

Drew was thrown from his &orse today

and is not expected to live. That's

Mr.. Frohman handed the dispatch
to his friend, turned and looked out of
the window-silent A friendship and
business association OF years was over.
The dinner was served, and present
ly a second telegram was delivered.
This read, John Drew hurt under
fallen horse, expected to be out in
three weeks, doing nicely Signed, Aft

Immediately there was another face
on the matter, and he dictated this

alter closed until Christmas night,
Maude Adams. Move Drew production
to storehouse. Use Empire for re-
hearsals of 'Arcadians.' C. F.
1t is safe to call this message the
most expensive telegram sent over the
wires in America that day. The tolls
were but 70 cents, but it's contents
meant this: Loss by closing Empire
theater for three weeks from $4,000
to $4,000, irrespective of loss of rent;
moving out one large production and
moving in another $1,000; announcing
Maude Adams for Christmas night in
the New York papers, three weeks spe'
cial advertising at SO cents line, be-
sides the announcements of John
Drew's incapacity to play.
If there were such a thing as
$4,000 bill, the results brought about
by that telegram would have given
Charles Frohman very little change.

MORE PAY IN DOUGLAS
Officers Get Less, However Than They
Demand

Olympia, Aug. 20.-The supreme
court in Ave decisions today granted
increased pay to officers of Douglas
county who served from January g.,
1905, to January IA, 1907, by order
ing a mandate to issue to compel the
county auditor to issue pay warrants.
Senator E. C. Davis, former county
treasurer, was one of the beneficiar-
les. Thep laintiffs get much less than
they asked.
They contendei that when the pop
ulation of the county increased SO as
to increase the class of the county
officers should get increased pay pro-
vided for the higher class. The su-
preme court holds salary can not be
increased during the elective term of
an officer, except the commissioners
find the county had moved up In class
at the time the election was held.
In other words, if the increase is dis
covered by the commissioners in No
vember the officers coming in the fol-
lowing January get the raise.

LITTLE-BUT GRACIOUS

TT is wonderful what large amount of mis-
l chief may be done by a thing too small to
be seen. Take the yellow fever germ. for eN-
ample.
Science has definitely ascertained that the
microbe OF yellow fever IS carried by a mos
quito. but nobody ever saw 1.-THE mlcrobe.
that is to say 1t goes through part of its life
cycle apparently. in the body of the insect
but it can hardly be said to have been dlscoy-
cred inasmuch as the microscope has not re-
vealed it No one knows whether it is baCil-
luS. mcrococcuS or what
The reason IS simply that it is ultramiCro-
scopic: too tiny, that IS to say. to be seen even
with the highest power OF magnifcation In all
probability no human eye will ever be keen
enough to behold it A description of it will
never be written.
The Inference in regard to the snallneSs OF
the germ is drawn not from the fact that the
psychologists have failed to find it. but from
the rcumstance-repeatedly observed-that
it passes readily through filter of infusorial
earth, which will detain any ordinary mlcrobe.
The blood of yellow fever patient after being
strained through such filter, IS still found to
contain the germs of Yellow Jack.
How has this been ascertained! Simply by
inoculating healthy persons with the blood thus
strained: the result being that they soon de-
velop symptoms of yellow fever. Experiments
of this kind. on human beings, are not adver-
tised, because they are sure to awaken howls of
protest. but they were performed again and
again during a scientific investigation of the dis
ease in Cuba not long ago
Though SO minute, the germ IN question IS
astonishingly virulent. 1t attacks most par
ticularly the liver, literally destroying that
organ by killing its cells. But its activity lasts
only three or four days, at the end of which the
sufferer is either dead the road to recovery.

Esthetically and scientifically
it commands attention. and in a therapeutic
sense the art of the perfumer has achieved inter
estng results, The odophone or gamut of
odors, ingenously arranged by DR.. Septimus
Piesse. some thirty years or more ago, has
quasi scientific bass This was the first
attempt to make any scientific deductions on
the subject of the psychology of perfumes.
and the result interesting as it was IN
genious
The odophone of DR. Piesse was based upon
the suppoSition that there existed a certain
scale or gamut among odors as among sounds.
and to demonstrate the conclusion some fifty
odors were classified and arranged to correspond
with different notes Taking the sharp smells
for his high notes, and heavy smells for low
notes he placed one-half of each in a clef. ex-
tending above and below the line Orange
was placed in treble clef note E fourth space
violet IN note d. first space below clef and
ambergrs in note F. fourth space above clet
with many intermediate notes or odors be-
tween According to DR.. Piesse's theory. any
false note among the odors would destroy the
harmony the same as IN music.
Therefore. IN order to produce the correct
perfumerv or bouquet of odors, it
essential that the one who compounded 1t
should be artist or musician III odors AS
an illustration of his point, he gives the follow
ing to produce the bouquet of chord c santal
corresponding with { bass. second line below .
geranium. bass. second space, acacia ire
Bile, first line: orange flower, G treble, second
line; and camphor c treble third space
From this odophone it was considered posi-
BILE to produce any harmonious perfume which
would affect the olfactory nerves much the
same as classical music affects the auditory
senses The combination and recombination
of odors almost infinite, and the manutac-
ture of delicate perfumerv may be almost as
unlimited as the composition of new music
When consider that single perfumery firm
in Paris makes upward of five hundred different
perfumes. it NAV be assumed that the posslbll-
ity of suiting every individuals taste in odors
is not a remote problem to solve Other odo-
phones have been arranged since the days OF
the venerable DR. Piesse: but the principle
he first elucidated holds
1t may be questioned whether compounder
of perfumery uses the odophone to any extent
or even recognizes 1t furnishing any guide
in his delicate work But he (and sometimes
it is she) must possess delicate appreciation OF
the sense of odors He IS an artist who works
according to higher instinct than the sclen-
tist who measures according to rule and for
