Their Signs Constitute One of the
 Sights o. London.
 The American in London, on his first visit to that marvellous city, is struck by the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesman is a purveyor to their majesties. Yet, when the matter is siftcd, the number is not so large.
 Officially, according to the London News. there are about 200 Itradesnen in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled 10 use the royal arms as shop sign, with the accompanying words, By royal appointment" The royal warrant has to be receivs1. signed and sealed in due form; other. wise. if a tradesman styles himself . purveyor to member of the royal family without this formal permission. he is guilty of an offense which is punishable by fine not exceeding f2O. Moreover. he is liable to simi. lar fine if he uses arms 50 nearly re. sembling the royal arms as to lead people to believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalty. Several instances have occur red of the enforcement of these penal ties.
 The warrants are exhibited in the shop windows. headed by the royal arms and bearing the signature of the lord chamberlain. the conptrollee of the royal household, the treasuree of the latter, or of the master of the horse. etc., according to the circum, stances.

why he uses newspapers for the pur-

FARMING AND LONGEVITY.

Mortality figures compiled by the
United States census bureau indicate
that the simple life is conducive to
longevity. Statistics covering eigh-
teen states for the year 1908 show
that disease, accidents, and suicides
claim fewer victims among those
who work on farms than from those
who are employed in other vocations.
The farmer is much less suscepri-
Bile to some of the fatal maladies,
such as tuberculosis, Bright's disease,
heart disease and pneumonia, than
are persons engaged in ether walks
of life. This is 10 be expected as the
farmer lives largely out Of doors and
fresh air and sunshine are potent
enemies OF disease germs. One nota-
bly, fatal malady, however, is more
prevalent proportionateiy among far
mers than among residents Of cities.
That malady is typhoid fever and its
frequency in rural localities undoubt-
eddy is due to unsanitary conditions
which exist on many farms in this
country. There is 2 great deal Of in
excusable carelessness among farm
ers in that particular.
4 Only IS per cent Of the farmers
who died in 1858 were victims Of tu-
berculosis. On the contrary that dis
ease was responsible for 19 per cent
Of the total deaths in the eighteen
states covered. Only 5 IL per cent of
! the farmers deaths resulted from
Bright's disease, while that maiady
claimed per cent Of the total
deaths. The figures do not take in

sPATRIoTn BRIsToW

Ilasmucn as Senator BristOw, OF
Kansas, is posing as holier-than-thou
patriot, it is interesting TO note the
manner OF man he really is as he re-
yealed his character in his famous
letter to Senator Long In that letter
Dir. Bristow wrote.
4 think l would Ike to have one
of those advisory places on the canal
commission. They pay $3.50 and re-
quire visit 10 the isthmus olce In
three months could hold It and live
in Kansas, being there at least half
my time. When the fight got rot
could resign"
Here we have q startling revelation
OF the mercenary and self-seeking
character Of Senator Bristow, on his
own unblushing confession. He adj
mits his craving for a hfgh-salaried
government job, with little work at
tached, announces his intention, if he
is successful, to live thousands OF
miles from the scene of his supposed
labors and promises, when public pro-
tests get too strong, to resign.
Senator Bristow has lately been
making speeches in Wisconsin in the
interest of the insurgent cause. The
La Crosse LeaderPress, which occu-
pies friendly attitude to the move
ment, is constrained to pronounce
judgment on the Kansas senator as
follows:
"Bristow, by the way, did not get
the canal sinecure-some other hun
CRY office,seeker beat him to it--but
he did get the position of Senator
Long, which also pays $500 a year
and he seems to have brought to ii
the same ideals of public service
which he processes in his letter to his
predecessor. His speeches in Wis
consin show deplorable ignorance
and stiffness and unfairness In ar
gument. 1t is quite evident to anyone
who reads them carefully that he has
made no greater effort to. fit himself
for the duties of the United States
senatorship than he intended to dc
for place on. the canal commission
advisory board"
The Leader-Press remarks with ev
ident regret that at seems to be the
misfortune of the insurgent Republi
cans to be burdened with great dea,
VI JUST such quality of leadership
as tnat OF Bristow." The same paper
also deplores the fact that it is handi
capped to a certain extent in it's news
