Why Doctors Bear Charmed Live.

The reason doctors do not catch
disease Is because they never think
about it. They very seldom take any
precautions to secure this amazing i'm

well-known disinfectant, or waahine

not contract the complaint, although
he had taken no preventive measures.
He simply didn't think about it. And
that is the whole secret.

TINY JOB M L R
SOME OF THE WONDERS SHOWN
At ENGLISH EXHIBITION.
curIosities Which Attract Most Alton.
ton Are the Model Of City In
Miniature, Little Gardens,
Dwarf Trees, Etc.

The Japanese section of this years
exhibition at Shepherds Bush is nearly
complete, says the London Express.
Three japanese gardens are among
the most picturesque features Of the
exhibition. Two of them are large
enough for many people to walk in.
The other is pushed about on wheels.
It contains pine trees from 100 to $50
years old, but it is all on large table,
the wheels Of which run on rails.
The oldest tree in this perambulat-
ing garden has grown at the rate Of
about one-eighth of an inch a year for
the past $50 years. It is now Is
inches high, and it has been in one
family all the time.
There is a mighty rock with the
gnarled roots Of forty-year-old maple
tree gripping it. The rock is about
ok inches high, and the tree less than
two feet. It is covered with lovely
tinted pink leaves.
There is in this table garden a grove
of bamboo trees, perfect in proportion
and bursting into leaf.
A mountain made of silk is one Of
the marvels of which the Japanese
workers are proud. 1t is picture Of
Full Yama, Japan's great mountain,
covered with snow, glistening with
white at the summit, and shading
through shell pink, mauve, purple and
blue downward to the base. The
mountain fills one side of hall, and
is made up entirely of the cocoons of
silkworms, delicately dyed so as to
reproduce the astonishing beauty of
color which has made Full Yama q
sacred Joy to every son and daughter
Of Japan.
Ten persons were engaged for a
quarter of a year making model of
Osaka, the Manchester-Venice Of ia

a table several yards square. It
shows the whole city and suburb Of
Osaka, a town of 1900, 900 inhabitants.
There are, on the table ground, $780,
900 tiny houses in 40 styles OF ar
chitecture. They are about a quarter

1000 factory chimneys is there, and
so are the blossoming cherry trees
infinitely smaller than snowdrops-in
the gardens of the suburbs.
There are microscopic boats going
up and down the many canals which
thread the city, tiny models Of war
ships and liners in the miniature har-
Dor, and timer sailing boats with
masts, Of which about ten might be
made from one wooden match.
The Japs have not been content
with bringing real trees from Japan;
they have made trees on the spot. In
the great entrance hall, before the
wonderful Red Gate of Nara, with its
crimson pillars and beams, and splash
es of emerald and peacock blue. is a
short avenue of giant coniferous trees.
Their bark, branches and foliage are
real, but they have been made up
on the spot.
Every branch, laden with it's ever
green spines, is different from every
other branch, and challenges nature

Room Built to Display Portrait.

Mrs. William M. v. Hoffman ex-
hibited to her friends on Independence
day a recently finished portrait OF
herself which she had in mind when
she directed the construction and
decoration of the ballroom of her
home in Tuxedo, N. Y. The portrait
did not exist when the great apart
ment was being adorned, but she had
1t in mind as an ideal. It was to be
the sole pictorial ornament of the
room, and the color scheme of the
walls and furnishings was to harmon
lie with it.
For several years she had observed
the styles of various wellknown por-
trait artists without finding what she
wisher. but finally she saw the work
of Mile. Marie Louise Michaels, for
merly of Paris and now Of New York.

work is a pastel. yet handled so
broadly that it has unusual carrying

Unappreciated Thrift.

BENJAMIN Franklin was fortunate in
possessing a very thrifty wife, but on
one occasion her saving ways shocked,
instead of pleased, her husband. Mrs.
Franklin had accumulated her small
savings for long time until she was
able to give her husband fine china
cup and silver spoon for his special use
at breakfast, says Home Notes.
When BENJAMIN Franklin saw these
unaccustomed luxuries he said reprov-
lngly: "You see how luxury creeps into
the families in spite Of principles"
And directly the meal was over he
went into his warehouse and wheeled
q barrelful of papers home through the
streets for fear lest the neighbors
might hear of the china cup and say
he was getting above his business.

Turner Family

The usual, present day spelling of
this name is Turner.
LIE tour noir-the black castle-is
said to be the way the name started
out In life. In Normandy there was
black castle, or un tour noir. The
lords of the castle were lies sires de
Tournoir." The first of the family to
set foot upon English soil, was per-
haps lord de Tournoir, and the time,
that memorable date, 1866. 1t didn't
take long, or not more than a century
or two. to simplify the name to
Turner. 1t passed through a variety
of forms In the transformation proc
ess. For example: we find in the
records, TurnOr, TOurnor, Tournaire,
Tourneur. Turhier and Turner. Regi-
maid de Turnur was a man of affairs,
in King Johns time Turnerus IL
given as the Latin form of the name.
Some authorities, however, in seek
ing the origin of the name. take US
back to days Of chivalry, to the tour
nay or Turney, and get the name with
out any trouble whatever. to over
throw, or tilt, or tourne, and the best
fellow at the sport, came to be known
as the tourner. the turner.
