New York, April 22.-Anthony J.
Drexel. master of $50, 0O0,00O, head
of the great banking firm OF Drexel
& Co., of Philadelphia and London
and father of the young man VINO
married Miss Marjorie Gould, sailed
away from New York yesterday IN
suit of mauve pajamas and a nun
on the big Cuuarder 1nsitanla. he
wore the pajamas because he went
aboard Tuesday night and the Lusl-
tania steamed earlier than usual, and
he was accompanied by the huff be-
cause he had to pay s1.75 for two
eggs and a cup of English breakfast
tea yesterday morning. and is alto
gether much excited over the high
cost of living in this city.
A reporter found Mr.. Drexel in
suite No. on the upper boat deck.
He sat with a quilted satin dressing
robe thrown about his shoulders ana
was deep in a breakfast OF grape
fruit, eggs, chops, tea and toast. He
and Mrs. Drexel and their daughter,
Miss Margaretta Drexel, and her IL
ancee, the Viscount Maidstone, are
all returning to London after visit
of five days in New York for the
Drexel-Gould nuptials.
''Sit right down, sit right down.
said Mr.. Drexel. "Have some break
fast? No? Well, I'm enjoying this
and l won't stop, if you don't mind.
1t is such a relief to be on this
boat, where one can get substan-
tial meal without paying out ones
life for it.
do you know what impressed me
most during MY stay in New York?
The high cost Of living" he went on.
II don't know what you people over
here are going to do about it. Why,
my dear sir, yesterday morning I
paid $1.75 for two boiled eggs and a

The stone is inserted at one corner OF
the eye, with the grooved side next to
the lid. The pressure Of the eyebalI
forces it to move about in the eye, and
the grooves collect the foreign matter
and retain it. After making thor

come out at the corner next to the
nose. No Inconvenience is caused by
its presence.
'There are other eyestOnes. In the
head Of our common crawfish there
are two little bones. just back Of and
beneath the eyes. which resemble the
South American eyestones. about the
only difference being that they are
smooth all over instead of grooved on
one side. These crawfish bones are
known as eyestones and are used as
such in the west. but they have none
of the virtues Of the real eyestone.
Their proper name is crab stones. In
Poland and parts Of Russia quite a
trade is found in the collecting of
these crab stones. The crawtish are
taken and buried in deep pits. where
they are left to die and rot. The refuse
is then washed and the stones are
picked out. They are not used in
those countries as eyestones, but are
taken internally. faith in their benefi-

The Arabs of SYRIA.

Among the Arabs Of Syria man
changes his name after the birth of
his eldest son. assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir. with the prefix Abu. meaning
"father off, Thus. If the son is called
Fudle Allah. Gods bounty" the IA
Their will be hcnceforth known as Abu
Tudle Allah. father of Gods bounty"
In like manner the mother would be-
come known as EN- Fudle Allah.
mother Of Gods bounty" This Gus
tom is not merely one Of common
speech, but extends to all occasions
and even to legal documents. Still
more strangely. even when a man
though married has no son the courte-
sy of oriental society demands that he
should be addressed as Abu Salim or
Abu Mahmoud. after an imaginary
son whom politeness confers upon him.

Boards In ENGLAND.

It was about 1855 that the beard
movement took hold of the English
people. The Crimean war had much
to do with it. The soldiers were per-
mitted to forego the use Of the razor,
as the hair on the face protected them
from the cold and attacks Of neural
gia. About this period only one civil
ian of position in England had the
hardihood to wear a mustache. This
was George f. Muntz, member Of par
lament for Birmingham. The enlight-
ened electors, however, did not take
kindly to the bearded politician. An
officer candidate on one occasion re-
ceived an intimation from the leader
Of his party that his mustache might
prejudice him in the eyes of the rural
population. The candidate replied that
he was determined to face it OUT

Sunday Clothes a Favorits Collateral
In Holland.
The Dutch pawnshop Of Amsterdam,
known as Bank van Leening, Is under
the control of the municipality. Up to
1916 the business was leased by the
city to d private company. but as 1t
refused to reduce its interest on pawn
ed articles the city took over the busl-
ness and has managed it ever since.
The first shop was established In the
Enge Lambardsteeg. and business Is
still done in the original building. As
the business increased branch houses
were opened, and there are now fifteen
such branches throughout the city.
Each article pawned costs about E
cents for administration, and about
$4,000 per annum is lost on articles
pawned which do not pay more than
per cent interest.
1t appears to be the custom OF some
people in Holland to pawn their best
clothes on Monday morning, redeem
them on the Saturday night following
and repawn them on the following
Monday. securing their use for the
Sunday outing. Over 40 per- cent Of
the business of the pawnshop consists
Of this class of pledges.
The revenue is derived from interest
on pledges. to 10 cents charged on
each loan for administering expenses,
amounts received from the sale OF
pledges and rent Of parts Of the build
ing owned by the pawnshop.
The minimum advanced on any arti-
Gle is 16 cents and the maximum $2Ol.
The interest paid runs from per cent
to 13 per cent. The amount OF inter-
est collected is regulated every three
years. so that the bank will not re-
ceive at any time more than 3 per cent
on the capital vested.-COnsular Re-

FOR aged PEOPLE
OLD FOLKS SHOULD BE CAREFUL
IN THEIR SELECTION OF
REGULATlVE MEOi-
CINE,

With advanced age comes inactive
bowel movement and sluggish liver.
Nature is unable to perform her prop
er functions and requires assistance.
Otherwise there is constant suffering
from constipation and it's attendant
evils. Old folks should never use

together ideal remedy that is particu-
larly adapted to the requirements of
aged people and persons of weak con-
stitution who suffer from constipa-
ton or other bowel disorder. We are
so certain that it will completely re-
lieve these complaints and give alb
solute satisfaction in every particular
that we offer them with our personal
guarantee that they shall cost the u.s.

Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can
dy. They have a soothing, healing,
Strengthening tonic, and regulative
action upon the dry mucous lin
ing and the relaxed muscular coat of
the bowel. They produce natural,
successive contraction, relaxation OF
the muscular fibres of the bowel walls,
generating a wave like motion which
forces their contents onward and out
ward; thus stimulating nature in per-
feet bowel movement. They tone up
and strengthen the nerves and muse
les and restore the bowels and asso-
ciate organs to more vigorous and
healthy activity. They may be taken
at any time without convenience; do
not cause any gripping, nausea, diar-
rhoea, excessive looseness, f1atulence,
or other disagreeable effect. Try Rex

The proportion of blind ones among them seemed to be less than had seen in Egypt or Tur- key, but the other symptoms were about the same. Possibly the sand and hot climate would account for the eyes being so often affected in Turkey or Egypt. The Japanese physician was very intelligent man. Said he was curing some of his cases.
 There is an old castle at Kumamoto and it's outer walls are about four miles long. It stands on steep hill, and to make the hill impossible to climb they have built stone wall at all the doubt ful places, and in some places this stone wall is 800 feet high.

PLENTY OF ENTHUSIASM.

Senator J. E. Davis of Goodrich
stopped in the city Monday morning
on his way home from Montana, and
from western North Dakota. He says
Montana is all ablaze with enthusiasm
over their present prospects for
big immigration. He stopned at Beach
for few days and found boom on
that backs anything east Of the Mis-
souri, clear of the boards. He was
present at the pulling contest between
gasoline engines last Saturday that
afforded the throng present lot of
fun. The development of the west
side of the state was surprise to
him and would be to anyone from
this side of the river who was not
posted. The senator thinks it an out
rage on the people of his district to
be dragged to Fargo to transact land
business, as the recent order of the
general land Office will compel the
settlers to travel several hundred
miles out of their way The senator
will leave for home today via James,

PHILIPPINE AND INDIAN ExH,B,T

it's to be seen at the Cosmorama of
the Nations, will be the Philippine and
the Indian exhibits. The former will
consist of many articles brought from
the Philippines b. the brave soldier
boys of Bismarck who fought in the
Spanish-American war.
Aguinaldo has accepted the invita-
ton of the Civic League to be pres
ent and display many of the curious
weapons used by his people in war.
The Indian exhibit will be equally
as good as the one seen in the Art
loan given by the F'ortnightly club
few years ago.
In addition to the handiwork of
the aborignites there will be an exhibi-
ton of Indian cub swinging by a
team Of boys from the government
school. and Supt. Davis has kindly
consented to display some of the work
done in the school by the Indian
boys and girls. A graduate of Carlisle
will be present to an1wer any ques-
tions about the life and work of the
Indians and what Uncle Sam is do
ing for them.
