except in few instances this query took the
form of good-natured curiosity rather than OF
resentment.
On the afternoon of January TO- 1905 an
attempt was made to blow up the statue or
Frederick the Great No serious damage re-
suited and there were those who thought that
a practical joker had been at work. but the
force of the explosion was such as to show
that the joke. if joke it were. was decidedly
serious matter Threats had been made from
time to time by anonymous letter writer's to
blow up the statue, but little attention was
paid to them The tenor of the written threats
was to the effect that no monarch ought to be
remembered in the capital city of republic.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor In Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once In
less than month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when came next day Why doctor
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to IL for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.

souri, at the next session Of congress will
champion a measure intended to change the
name of Lafayette square to Independence
square and he will ask that the memorial TO
Gen Jackson, which stands in the center OF
the park shall be replaced by one Of George
Washington. Mr.. Bartholdt thinks that the
name Lafayette square gives too much promi-
nence to a man of one nationality, while there
were men of other nationalities also to be re-
membered by statues in the park who gave
Just rs much service to the struggling colonies.
The Missouri congressman thinks that In
sense Lafayette square makes an nvidious
distinction. Lafayette holds a peculiar place
in the affections of Americans, and though II
may be without right or reason he Is known
much better to the people than either Steuben
or Pulaski. There will be opposition to the
change in the name of the square, but as La
fayette is remembered in bronze at its most
commanding corner 1t may be that Mr.. Bar
tholdt is right in contending that the double
honor is too much to give one man.
General Steuben's service to the American
patriots hardly can be estimated. 1t was not
so much his aid in actual battle as his teach
ing of drill regulations and tactics and his I'M
parting to the revolutionary officers of the art
OF maintaining efficient discipline that brought
him fame and the honor of the leaders of the
revolutionary cause.

Sheridan's statue, repre-

1t is curious perhaps that

Easy Fat Reduction.

neh puttermilk and gymnastics Were the only known cures for over latness many people preferred to stay lat-dreading the remedy worse than the disease.
 Now these two grim lions on the road to slimness have been overcome and the loss of 20 to 50 pounds has become a very safe and pleasant af- lair. You can eat and drink and be merry and lazy and still lose 10 to 1G ounces of useless fat daily. Folks with oouDIe chins and stout abdomens can lose them ill a month and vet not strain, bother or deny themselves a single blessed thing. It does not cost much, either-any druggist will fix you up-and there is no waiting re- suits begin when you do.

Oi New Industries and Industrial De-
 velopment in the South.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 1.-The Tradesman this week says: Business Continues unusually good with the hardware jobbers, and reports from Che rurals are also of the most en- couragihg nature. The high price of cotton appears to have stimulated trade greatly although the yield was short in many sections. The holiday trade is in full blast now and indi- cations are that the aggregate of holi- day business will exceed any season since 1896. Prices continue on an upward tone, but no advances of im- portance are noted.''
 The more important new industries established in Arkansas the week end- ing today as reported to The Trades man, are indicated by the following

Arbitrated.

Conversation among travellers is IRE
quently absurdly trivial. After several
days together, as on shipboard, every
one is idle and talks about the most
unimportant matters with the deepest
interest. R. n. Milligan in book en-
titled 1.-The Jungle Folk of Africa" re-
counts with what complacency the
conclusion was reached that the thir-
teen colonies should never have re-
belled and that the blame was all on
the side of England.
One man, moreover, disclosed the
fact that he always wore safety pins
instead of carriers and descanted upon
his preference with such enthusiasm
that he made at least one convert.
One night we put in practice the
principle Of arbitration, of which we
were all adherents. An argument had
arisen among us as to which was the
more simple of the two currency sys-
TENS, dollars and cents or pounds, shil-
lings and pence. At last, the captain
arriving, we decided to refer the mat
ter to him and to surrender our judg-
ment to his arbitration.
The captain, an Englishman of the
very stolid sort, after period Of re-
Election replied very slowly and with
all the gravity Of a judge:
Pounds, shillings and pence is the
simpler system, for don't you know
that when you are told the price Of a
thing in dollars and cents you always
have to convert it into pounds, shil-
lngs and pence"
There was little objection to this
theory, but in general 1t was perfectly
satisfactory so long as the voyage
lasted.

vivisectino Thieves.

Breaking into houses where funerals
have just taken place and plundering
them is spoken of by the Berliner
Tageblatt as a trick Of the thieves OF
that city. While this may be new
form Of criminality In Berlin, says the
writer, it is really only an imitation OF
an incident described by Dion Cassius
as having taken place $500 years be-
fore Christ. The historian says that
when the consort of the emperor was
laid away In the mausoleum at
Memphis a band of Greek marauders
entered the deserted palace Of the
pharaoh and took all the precious
stones and metals and the women
slaves and reached the banks Of the
Red sea with their plumber. Only two
of the band were captured, and they
were turned over by the ruler to the
wise men, by whom they were vivi-
sected In the interest of science. Nc
matter how much the robbers OF the
modern houses Of mourning may be
despised, they need not fear that form
of punishment.
