Approves of Modern Dress.

Many severe things have been said of the inartistic qualities of mans dress in modern times, so that it comes as a pleasing surprise to hear word spoken in it's defense by no less an authority than Antonio de la Gandara, the portrait painter. Tn the first place." he says people dress very well in these days. Thus, as regards the men, think Of thelr even ing dress clothes! Admire the sober lines, the perfect harmony, One dag zling point alone in the whole cos tune, the white surface of the shirt front, and all else is black, nothing but black. Do you know anything more beautiful? Never. possibly, has mans dress been nobler. In q cen tury's time, it will be said, With what perfect art men of that time used to dress

QUEER CASE OF SMUGGLING
Stolen Partridge Eggs Brought Into Vienna by Means Of Dummy
 Baby.

A singular case of smuggling by means of a dummy baby was brought to light by the city customs officials at the Northwestern station recently.
 Partridge eggs have for long past been extensively stolen from preserved estates in Hungary, smuggled into Vi- enna and sold to poultry dealers. who matched the eggs in incubators. brought up the birds by hand. and sold them below tho prices asked by more hon est dealers. \ special lookout for smugglers has resulted in the arrest ot two peasant women.
 Arriving in Vienna in the national Slovenian costume. each Of them ear ried a baby. tied according te the in- variable national custom. te q cushion. and so closely packed that only theI face was visible The women wersI noticed to be a little ag.tated as thsyl passed the customs. and they we're fei1 lowed home l. was then discovered that while one baby was n living ehildI the other was q dummy. l. consisted of wax head. partly hidden by \ shawl and a cap. while the cushion was| filled with more than coo partridge aggs.-Vienna Correspondence Londoa, Daily Mail.

SWEETEST OF ALL PLANTS
South American Shrub Has Prorer- ties That Put Sugar Completely
 Ii the Shade.

It has been suggested that what may turn out to be the great sugar producing plant of the future Is g dwarfish shrub found in south Amer lea. It's botanical name is Eupato- rum rebandium. and. it IS said. the results of careful experiments indi- cate that it yields a sugar from twen- fy to thirty times as sweet as ordl. nary cane or beet sugar. One ad vantage claimed for the sugar de rived from this plant Is that f oeeu- pies, in proportion to it's sweeteHihg powers, less than one-twentieth Of the bulk of ordinary cane sugar.
 The world today uses more than twice the amount of sugar that 1t did a quarter of a century ago. The people of the United States consume great deal more sugar. in one form or another, than those of any other nation. It is surprising 10 learn that in Europe sugar was used at first only at feasts and for medicinal purposes. At the close of the seventeenth cen tury the sugar industry in France was a monopoly controlled by the apothe- carries. It's introduction as an article of table use was vigorously opposed. eminent authorities declaring it "a poison" Boyle and other scientists of his day averred that sugar induced congestion of the lungs. apoplexy, dis eases of the stomach and even con. sumption. By far the sweetest sub stance known at this time is the coal tar product called saccharine. Ii is two hundred times the sweetness of cane sugar.

CURES WROUGHT BY CHINESE
Ministrations of Physicians Havc Good Effect, Though the Cause
 May Be Obscure.

Chinese physicians are popular with women in our city" said doc tor from California Their method of diagnosis is very simple. A wom- an tells a Chinees doctor where she has a pain and he feels her pulse nothing more. Then he tells her for how many thousand years his race has understood the human body and mind. This makes a great impres- sion upon the woman patient and she goes forth with great faith in the learned Chinese and the medicine he has given her, which is usually harm less enough, but not to be found among the remedies approved by ma teria medica.
 However the Chinese doctors are clever, and they do effect some cures in spite of their medicine. Lay it, perhaps, to the mental effect-the subtle influence of an alien personal ity combined with an awe of learning outrunning the oldest in America by so many hundreds of centuries

ELEPHANT
BORN IN
CIRCUS
BABY PACHYDERM COMING TO SA.
LEM WITH SELLS-FLOTO SHOW
- YOUNGEST TRUNK.BEARER
SEEN ON PACIFIC COAST.

Everybody is asking us how we are
going to raise the baby elephant .
said the image-bearer Of the Sells
Floto circus, as he walked into the Of
flee this morning. "Well, sir, that's
the question that's most agltating the
big top high-brows at the present
time. To begin with, he drinks seven
dollars worth of distilled water every
day, and, added to that, five cans Of
Borden's Eagle Brand
"Now, I'm told by married folks
(I'm a bachelor myself you know
that one can will last a baby and keep
him in condition so that he can squall
the roof off, for five days. l don't
know whether that dope Is alright or
not, but l do know that the baby
elephant gets away with six cans ev-
er "a hours. Now, let's see, that's
enough to keep six human being alive
and kicking for nearly week, and
you can figure out for yourself just
how much it is going to cost to raise
him till he's a year old.
OF course, by this time suppose
everyone knows that he was born at
Salinas, Cal, Thursday, April 25, and
we placed him on exhibition at Oak
land the following Monday. Thriller?
My dear sir, he's a perfect riot. At
every afternoon performance we have
him pushed around the hippodrome
track in glass cage. His mother
pushes the cage. He's sturdy little
chap now, and you should see him
playing with two big footballs that
the boys Of the circus bought for him.
"At the time of his birth his mother
refused to own him and, in fact, en-
deavored to kill him, so we had to
take him away from her. He is being
raised entirely by hand, and just now
bids fair to grow up and be as husky
as any member Of the herd.
when born he weighed 1S0 pounds,
and was 25 inches high, 8 feet long,
and his trunk measured 10 inches. He
is the only elephant ever bred and
born in this country, which really pre-
sents one of the most remarkable
cases known to naturalists.
"'Baby Hutch for that's his name,
will be exhibited when our circus ar
rives here on Friday, May 81, both in
the menagerie and in the regular per-
formances.
