Only recently the minister from Belgium to the
United States, the Count de Buisseret was trans
ferred to his countrys legation at ST. Petersburg.
The count and countess, his wife, lived in the
American capital for a long time and here 1t
that their daughter born, an event which was
a cause for great rejoicing for previous to the
arrival of the little girl the Busserets had been
blessed only with boys, of whom there were five
to help pack the trunks the other day the jour-
ney to the capital of the cars empire.
The Countess de Buisseret is an American. She
is the daughter of General Story Of California,
whose family tor great many years resided in
Washington. Count de Buisseret has heen
ceeded Belgian minister by Mr. E. Haven1th,
who to Washington from Persia. Mr..
Havenith is also married to an American woman
who prior to her wedding, Miss Helen
Ffculke, daughter of the late Charles Ffoulke Of
Washington. Mr.. Havenith at time
Junior attache of the legation in Washington and
here he met, wooed and married Miss FfouIke.
1t seems like string of condolences, but the
fact that three Belgian ministers in succession
have had American wives is much more than
coincidence. The predecessor of the Count de
Buisseret the Baron Moncheur whose wife
also is an American, the daughter OF General
Powell Clayton. former United States minister to
Mexico. Baron Moncheur has been twice married,
his first wife like his second being American
woman.
There are many reasons advanced for the Sc
lection of diplomats with American wives for the
American service, but the underlying reason
doubtedly is that with American wife a diplo-
mat more quickly gets in touch with American
methods manners and habit of thought and there
BY at once becomes of greater service to his gov
ernment
Mr. Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador to
the United States probably is more familiar with
the American spirit than any other man rep
resenting a foreign government in Washington,
unless it be James Bryce. the British ambassador,
of whom it is only necessary to say that he
wrote The American Commonwealth" in order
to give one an understanding of how closely this
subject of King George has studied American po-
ltical and economic conditions.
France is republic and there are no better
Republicans than Jules Jusserand. He has keen

ton was the American who did good deal toward
SCATTERING faith in the Godgiven right of mon
archs to rule they would.
MIR. Jusserands observations on the probable
thoughts of Louis XIV he gazes day after day
into the countenance of George Washington,
we'll worth publication.
The French ambassadors wife would have been
an American were it not for the fact that her
American parents chose France as their long
abiding place and there in the capital city Mad
ame Jusserand was born. To all intends and pur-
poses she is American. Her father was c. T.
Richards of Boston.
If the idea still persists in some places that
the sending of ambassadors who have American
wives to Washington is merely accidental let it
be said that the present minister from Spain,
Senior de Riano has American wife, and his
predecessor, the Due d'Arcos, also led an Ameri-
woman to the altar Sonora de Riano before
her marriage Miss Alice Ward She lived

getting besides knowledge of business that is
sure to be vastly more profitable to him.
"a stenographer in the employ of such a man
soon comes to have more real knowledge of the
business than the bookkeeper or the cashier or
the manager He knows it from the inside and
from the top and if he proves to be man of dis
cretion and sound Judgment well as ability he
is and trusted; and, as his ability
comes to be more and more clearly shown he
promoted to a higher post because at such post
his ability can be employed to still greater ad-
vantage
1T is fine thing to be a really expert stenogra-
pher, but the with the brains and ability for

do have, ambition that sooner or later they

brought with him to Washington his wife, Mad
ame Chang and three daughters. His son, Mr.

an American education. He is at present study

legation, the groom being Mr.. Henry K. Chang
and the bride Miss Isabel Tong. Miss Tong, now
Mrs. Chang is the daughter of Ton Shoa vi, who
was sent special ambassador by China to
this country two years ago to thank the United
States for the remission of the Boxer indemnity.
When Minister Chang came to Washington he

daughters of his friend, Mr.. Tong. Young Mr..

who were hidden to it to have been one of
the most picturesque and sumptuous ceremonies
performed in America.

ton that is put to them more often than
any other, and which, strangely enough,
they find the most difficult to answer.
That is How can l cure my conStipa-

Dr. Caldwell, an eminent specialist in
disea ses of the stomach. liver and bowels
