quantities of perfectly good popcorn
was thrown into the street What was
not thrown into the street was cooked

HOW To BUY 4
PLAYER PIANO.
Some Notable Facts in the
History Of These Wonder
full Instruments Should
First Be Considered.

At the opening of the holiday season,
when so many Ell PasO families are
contemplating the purchase Of player
piano. it may be interesting to note a
very important point in the history Of
these wonderful instrUments-the fact
that the S8-nOte Apollo player piano has
been manufactured for exactly eight
years longer than any other. 1t should
also be remembered that the Apollo has
not only stood the acid test of time,
but also has exclusive features which
make it preeminent among instruments
of this kind.
Notable among these exclusive fea-
lures are the solo device, which accents
the melody at will; the transpOsing de-
vice. which allows Of instant transpO-
sftion into any one Of eight keys; the
down-stroke or human" touch and the
metrOaOme motor, which winds and re-
winds the longest roll without 81 ,ctrici-

TAKING A VACATION.

The vacation season is approach ing it's height and the summer resorts are beginning to assume their mid summer lveliness.
 It is more than probable that no one thing oftener fails of its purpose than the annual vacation, for instead Of re- turning with renewed vigor many re- turn to business jsded and worn.
 There are so many wild ways of having vacation that many simply drop their work and add to their ex- cssses, which in no way improves their health,
 A purposeless vacation is one in which Ma just displays her wardrobe and jewels, Sis plays the part of a popular summer girl Bob devotes him. self to sport and fifrtations, and Pa uses twice as much tobacco, drinks twice as much wine or whiskey, and is twice as profane because he Is irri- tated by being away from business.
 The only good vacation there is is the one which gives a fresher and bet ter thrill to life and increases the memory pictures which delight the soul and rob life of more than half it's nightmares
 There is no such thing as designing a vacation for anyone else; but on general principles those vacationists get most out of their absence from business who conduct themselves in an orderly way and by adding to the pleasures of others whom they chance to meet in the pure air districts. or the beauty spots of earth, have wrought better than they knew and have more to give zest than they an- tfcfpated.
 The fools vacation consists of rock ing the boat and drowning more de- cent and deserving people, but his hn- gerfng regrets are never half as keen as they deserve to be-
 Taking a vacation is not taking out of yourself more than the change can give back. Don't lose your balance when you think you are recuperating.

Forbearing all discovery as a simple educational tabloid. IL WAS to the effect that there are 1s7.0o0 inmates in the insane asylums and 1s3,000 students in the colleges ana universities of the United States.
 For high relish this statement prob ably could not be surpassed. Its cas- ual effect upon the average student of educational matters is to lead him through a startling series of mental gymnastics in an endeavor to bring the university and the insane asylum into one general perspective. Provid- ed he can achieve this, he discounts oue against the other; balances, SO to speak. the university student with the lunat:c, whereupon he begins painful iy to revlae preconceived prejudices concerning the present perfection of civilization.
 Contrasting the figures. the student finds that the colleges and universities are nearly turning out one cultured product for each and every 5unatic.

THEN and-NOW

To-day over s5,ooe locomotives are in motion over the 25O,oo0 miles or trackage in the United States. They consume about 15o, o,000, 900 tons of coal and carry over a bil- lion passengers and 4,S00, 900 tons of freight annually. After adopt ing the English-b born child of civ hization. the United States took the lead in it's development and appli- cation until to-day it stands as the worlds greatest manufacturer of locomotives. Besides making enough to meet the domestic de- n1ar1d. the American inanufaetur- CTS are shipping locomotives abroad at the rate of a dozen a week. They are laundering through the mountains of South America and over the plains and valleys of Africa; they are disturbing the calm of the Orient. and are dash from one end of Europe to the of the locomotives birth, England, and are in use upon its principal railways. Like the steamship, the locomotive is growing larger and more powerful every year. The largest reported to be in use to-day is huge compound engine which measures 120 feet over all and weighs s5o,o00 pounds. It is an oil-burner and carries 4,000 gal Ions of oil and 12,000 gallons of water. It cost $43,SS0 to build. These giants have recached a point where one locomotice is so long that it is hinged in the middle with a flexible joint so that it can turn curve without upsetting. Thus the locomotive has become the modern Alias that carries the burden of the worlds trade and population across the continents.

DIET AND nIsEA AsE.

There is an age approaching when the cook in the kitchen will know the relations of diet and disease and so prepare food as to avoid physical dis turbances.
 Among the well-informed it is well known that too much meat and too much starchy food are the cause of Physical disturbance and distress.
 The wise physician today tells his rheumatic patients to mix less and to eat less food. Over eating and cAreless eating are the cause of three fourths of the physical diseases.
 If Mir. and Mrs. Thomas A. Edison remain rugged and happy upon twelve ounces of food a day. doesn't 1.-the fact that the public caterers estimate an average of ss ounces or more a day for guests indicate that the excess Of food taken is great and coraHrnn the truth of the maxim. Many people dig their graves with their teeth?''
 Admiral Dewey. on being conpii- fnented recently on his superb health. smiled and said.
 T attribute my good condition to plenty of exercise and no banouets. one-third Of what we eat, you know, enables us to live.s
 Tn that case" said his friend, jest- insly, what becomes of the other two thirds ?''
 oh" said the admiral, that en- ables the doctor to live"
 This is a jest heavily freighted with the truth, and leaves no doubt Admiral Dewey understands the relation of diet to disease.
 It is difficult to make ths fact ufa- derstood that meat is not necessary three times a day, although it has been repeatedly shown that men eat ing no meat are oftenest winners in feats of freight and endurance.
 Only persons engaged in heavy phy- steal work can digest three heavy meals q dayi and the reason many people are incapaeitated by disease is because they try to. M
 This is also the cause of sudden deaths in warm weather frem acute 1ndigestieni and as a gorFed stomach crowds the heart and lowers the vi tality it makes geod eaters mere slfs- 5eet to sunstroke and ether sudden HHnntrati6na.

EuRoPE,s wARLlkE AGITATION

The fighting blood of the European nations has been stirred for some time by the war against Turkey by ths Balkan states during which time 1t re- quired all the patience and diplomacy of the allied nations to keep Austria from taking hand in the issues. It was apparent enough at the close of the war that Austria was not satis- fled and since then the action of Rus- sia and the maneuvering of the French troops on the German frontier have indicated that an outbreak between old enemies was probable, so the news of a breaking off of the diplomatic re- lations between Austria and Hungary with Servia are not surprising.
 While England and France seem to be calmly watching governmental movements, Germany and Russia are fearfully agitated by the war spirit, Italy is restless and Austria has her naval fleet assembled and her armies on the move and a conflict. seems im- minent
 While the war bodes i'll to the Euro pean nations Involved, 1t will not be likely to prove an unmixed blessing to America, for while it will quicken some of our 1anguishing industries it is very likely to send prices up here which are high enough already.
 In the interests of humanity it is to be hoped war will be averted and a settlement be made which will guaran- tee peace to Europe for years to~come. The fact that two great nations suggest that the exciting issues be settled by mediation leaves no doubt the spirit of peace is making a deep impression where it should be most productive of results
 The war cloud appears to be going to pieces News quickly followed that Serwia yielded to Austria under pro- test.
