Picturesque Costumes No Longer Worn in Capital

INTEREST in the personnel of the
1 diplomatic corps is revived as the
autumn advances and diplomats re-
turn from their summer outings. The
lamentable thing for sightseers is that
the legations are becoming SO thor
oughly A~mericanized that there is no
novelty now in their appearance on
Washington avenues. In former days
the Turks, Persians, Siamese and even
the Japanese kept to their native cos
tune and made a most notable attrac'
ton in social affairs; now, however,
they appear like everyone else in
evening hats and frock coats, while
their ladies wear exquisite Paris ere
ations." AS one western visitor re-
marked, about all that is left Of the
national costumes is the Turkish am
bassador's fez-which Is nothing ex-
%traordinary now that the American
Shriner is often e wearing it when
remaining over after a convocation.

Stunning but 46k pints of beer and Az

The Dane drinks on the average 1876
pints of beer, but little wine, and only
Sc pints of brandy each year. The
Swede manages to consume "a pints
of beer and 10 of spirits. The Russian
drinks TX pints Of vodka and the
same amount of beer. The French
man, however, takes 160 pints of wine,
is of beer, AZ of brandy. The Britisher
soothes himself with 8 pints of whisky
or gin, 3 Of claret and 228 Of beer.
The Dutchman will drink 81 pints
Of beer and 10 of brandy. Taking ev-
cry German province to obtain an av-
erage, it is found that the German
consumes 1874 pints of beer, 101s Of
wine and az Of spirits. In Munich,
however, the average amount per head
rises to S20h pints, being the highest
OF any province, whilst the lowest
average obtains in the northern prov
ince Of Alsatia. Here the inhabitants
are satisfied with only IA pints Of
beer per head.
The Italian is the least of all ad-
dicted to alcoholic beverages, taking
only 3 pints Of beer, TX of alcoholic

How "UncIe Jere" Rushed Into Fray; Is Not Sorry

tacks on fellow members in congress.
He was in action in the house of
representatives a few days ago. He
lit out, as the saying is, for the Pro-
gressive members of that body. Mr..
Murdoch. who was discussing amiably
upon the subject of government by
caucus. Uncle Jere took issue with
the gentleman and denied that the
caucus system was the fault of the
legislative system at Washington, that
the real fault was absenteeism, and
as Mr.. Murdoch is a Chautauqua IA
vorite, the blow landed in a vulner-
able place. In a second there was an
uproar. After sparring for a while
with indignant congressman, charg-
ing a Kentucky member with being
rarely seer In his seat, Uncle Jere
slung this out and the storm abated:
We'll, they ought to resign and go
home If they don't want to stay here
on the job"
Uncle Jere is the sure Bernard
| Shaw of American politics. 1t is sus-
pected that Uncle Jere plunges in
where angels fear to tread, just to
satisfy himself that the angels lack
pip. But he is never sorry.

BABYS PRAYER IN COURT
ChiId's Petition Referring to Father
Figures In Mothers Suit for
Separation.

During the trial of the separation
suit brought by Mrs. Susie Bradley
Barber against her husband, Arthur
W. Barber, a New York lawyer, be-
fore Justice Mills In the supreme
court, testimony was given that the
plaintiff had kept daily notes of her
husbands actions and words during
the four years Of their married life.
Mrs. Barber, who formerly lived at
Hastings, accused her husband Of
cruel and inhuman treatment, while
Mr.. Barber In turn swore that his
wife had been cruel to him.
Mrs. Barber kept her diary of daily
happenings in her home on sheets of
white and yellow paper, and she car
ried them to court In a black hand
bag. The BARRIERS have a daughter
three years old. Mr.. Barber said that
every night his wife had their baby
repeat this prayer: God, bless grand
mother and spare her to me. God,
bless mother and spare her to me.
God make daddy a better man."
Mr.. Barber took umbrage to the ref
erence to daddy" in the baby's
prayer. He said that when she taught
the prayer to the child it was the
%cruelest thing she ever did. When
Mrs. Barber was asked why she had
made daily notes of home happenings,
she replied! ITO relieve my feel
ings."

President Seeks His Relaxation at the Theater

Van Buren, walked and rode and play
ed checkers for recreation. Andrew
Jackson loved to smoke his old corn
cob pipe and was a patron of the cock
pit and owned lots Of birds.
John Adams, who came into the
White House before 1t was quite m
ished or ready for occupancy, was So
rious to moroseness, and was all u
a recluse. President William Henry
Harrison had the habit of going to
the market for the vegetables n
meats of the White House table, and
upon one of these occasions, on a
rainy morning when the market was
chill and damp, he took the cold wnicn
resulted in his death.
President Hayes rode little, walk
ed less, and read the greater part Oh
his leisure time. Jefferson's costly
French and Italian wines and Ma
deiras were one Of the features OF
his administration, and President Mad
ison thought that champagne was
the most delightful of all wines when
taken in moderation, but that more
than a few glasses produced a head
ache the next morning. Consequent
ly President Madison served cham
e only at his dinners given Sat
urday night, when the margin OF an
idle Sunday might allow for the head
ache the next morning.

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Experience Of a Southern Man.

.I.Ng. .L| N.IT L.|. LMa.L
please allow me to thank the origi-
nator Of Postum, which in my case,
speaks for ITSELF" writes a Fla. man.
Il formerly drank so much coffee
that my system was almost a
wreck" (Tea is Just as injurious be-
cause 1t contains caffeine, the drug
found In coffee.) my physician told
me to quit drinking 1t but ! had to
have something, so ! tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise | say quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was a year ago and now
my nerves are steady and l don't have
those bilious sick headaches which I
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And | do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when I get up morn
ings. When Postum Is boiled good
and strong, 1t is far better in taste
than coffee. MY advice to coffee drink
ers is to try Postum and be con-
vinced."
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the
little book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum--must be we'll

Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup OF hot water and. with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage

Why Poison Ivy Poisons.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and in what manner it causes the pc
culiar rash and irritating infiamma-
ton have puzzled both botanists. and
physicians. At last the reason has
been discovered. DR.. Mirande of Paris
read to the Academy of Sciences in
that city recently the results of his
study of the poisonous weed. Poison
ivy contains prussic acid. This is
found principally in the young leaves
and buds; in the older leaves there is
very little of 1t. In three and one
half ounces of young leaves there is
about a quarter Of a grain Of the acid.
AS with other plants in which prussic
acid is found, the poisonous substance
does not exist in its perfect form, but
develops as soon as the leakes are
bruised, a chemical action being set
up through the union of an engine
with a glucosid.

life, according to those who know him
best, has been a remarkably quiet
one; although it would appear that
one who has passed over such a great
number of years and has lived In we
olden times" that we read about, must
necessarily have bumped against
something during his career that was
worth chronic1ing.
Morris is a bachelor and a confirmed
woman hater, and right here is where
a grain of romance inserts itself. In
his young days, it is said, many
years before he came to this country,
he was engaged to a buxom English
girl. The wedding day had been fixed,
but before its arrival the girl sickened
and died. Morris SO cherished the
memory of his beloved that he could
never be brought to look with favor
upon any other woman.
AS the years passed, his ~antipathy
toward the fair sex increased until,
at the present day, with n hundred
and twenty years to his credit, he
stands forth, an openly avowed WON
an hater. Who knows, but what this
aged man, as he dreams in the sun
light, has visions of that long age
face and that 1t gradually draws near
err and becomes more distinct as he
himself approaches the goal.
