AS an inhabitant of the polar re-

as another in the tropics enjoys his

inhabitant In the temperate zone
consumes sugar and is unframed

so much sugar is carried from the

on. Proximity to the consumers Is
a recognized rule in manufacturing.
The United States heads the table
of cacao users, for the people num-

France and England consume an

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL.
Time Has Gone BY When World

ness of Women.

Within the last week two well-known,
beautiful rich society girls, both
young both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
part of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs

SEAS PERILS EVER PRESENT
Be Held Without the Element
of Danger.

1t is the great distinction of the sea
that its peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he Is on active
service he is always face to face with
''the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, a pardonable miscalculation, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten-
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit of
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli-
ness, resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers of
its own, as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is of
a nature to make profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in COM
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out of all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton of naval character, and are
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc
curity upon which as a nation we re-
pose.

THAT notice was so extraordinary
that stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He was genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was a person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY confided secrets; that many
persons in bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most Of those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and INSCRIPTIONS
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way of notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.

thinking. The first thing did when

Theory and Experiment.

Theory and experiment must go
hand in hand, and much depends on
one as much as on the other, not
merely on its accuracy but also upon
its nature. Hundreds of experiments
may be made, which, however, not.
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march of human progress in the right
direction; they may of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
thing Is that the experiment should
be of the right kind, and it is often
desirable that as much time. If not
even more time, should be spent in
deciding upon the right thing to be
done than in doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments, because even
If these are properly carried out, they
may yet. II based upon false notions,
add little or nothing, If not to the
store at least to the advancement of
knowledge; and count almost for as
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not
