CAFE HAS WOMAN B0UNCER
Proprletor's Wife, ALFRED In White,
Always on Hand to keep Folks
Straight"

Not more than a five-minutes' walk
from the White House is located a
German beer garden with a hotel an
mex. It was built to cater to the
solid German trade of the neighbor-
hood, but soon it became extremely
popular with the younger set. The
Jones-Works excise law knocked out
its private dining rooms, but the
dance floor made up for them.
II you enter and take a seat you
will see a majestic female figure in
white moving about among the
tables. She stops here and stops
there, shaking hands with old friends
and good customers, nodding to this
one and that, and bestowing frown
OF disapproval upon some one inclined
to boisterousness.
Who's the lady in white?" you ask
a negro waiter.
Oats de boss wife," he replies.
She's here till we close up, keeping
folks straight, and one thing or an
other. She's de bouncer. II anybody
gets rough she puts 'em out"
But what would she do If some
body got real rough?"
But according to the waiter. no one
ever gets real rough" here, and he
declined to answer hypothetical ques-
tions

VISITS FORMER HOME
Former French Empress at Fontaine-
bIeau Recalls the Scenes Of Her
Former Triumphs.

Paris.-Among the many memories
enshrined in the Chateau of Fountaine-
bleau, the historic home of SO many
French sovereigns near Paris, none
can be found more moving than the
simple story Of the visit lately paid
to the palace by the Empress Eugene.
Accompanied by one of her nieces and
two members of her suite, the en-
press was conducted over the apart
ments of the palace, every one OF
which, even to the foreigner, forms
chapter in the history of France and
of her kings. For the empress each
step taken conjured up visions of a
past in which she herself played the
leading part.
AS she looked round the famous
apartments of Louis XIII, she ex.
claimed in voice broken with emo
ton, "There is my casket," and point
ed to casket which, as the curator
reminded her, is said to have be-
longed to Anne of Austria. The en-
press assented, but explained that Ma
poleon III had given 1t to her as a
wedding present, filled with gloves and
fans.
In the Sale des Gardes the empress
recognized the dining room for init
mate occasions. The view from Nine.
de Maintenon's apartments out upon
the gardens laid out by LIE Notre next
caught the empress eye, and, with
wistful look, she said: How beautiful
they are"
A few steps further, her gaze fell and

WASH AND MEND LITERATURE
Old Books for the Library of Congress
Are Thoroughly Fumlgated
and Repaired.

Fumigated books, books that have
starched, ironed and mended, with
their stiffened old backs rubbed and
massaged into semblance of the
elasticity of their youth and fraction
of the strength of their prime are the
kinds of books that occupy honored
places on the shelves Of the Library OF
Congress as a part of its many gift
collections.
The books given to the library come
from various quarters of the world,
some of them, indeed, have been dis
inferred from the very bowels of the
earth itself. For example, take the
Schiff collection, or that part of 1t
which was gathered through the efforts
of Ephraim Deinard in the Holy Land,
an unusually fine collection of Hebrai-
ca, rare parchments, manuscripts and
religious works. Some of them have
been resurrected from graves where
centuries before they had been cere-
moniously buried. Other works in the
collection come from vaults In the
synagogues of Jerusalem and adjacent
cities, and their plight was such that
in some cases heroic treatment was
necessary to restore them to a condi-
ton where they could be handled.
First 81 all, such collection must
necessarily be fumigated. Damp tomb1
and musty walls leave their marks.
When collection is being fumigated,
the books are set on end in rows on
shelves and left partly opened, so that
the fumes may penetrate to the bind
ing. After they are subjected to sui
phurous odors for few days they are
ready for more intimate process of
cleansing and repairing.
The enemies of books are time, dust,
stains, mildew, rough handling, finger
marks and bookworms. To put manu-
script into condition for use by the
public the marks of the enemy of the
volume must be obliterated, and some
times it is necessary to make book
over almost in it's entirety. An old
tome can never be said to be actually
reiuvenated, but 1t can be washed,
mended and rebound, SO that its useful
ness to the reader Is just as potent as
in the days of its youth.

Montmorency Miggsworth loved Lucretia
Ann Adair,
Loved her with the love of twenty four
Loved the very hairpins that were fas-
tened in her hair.
Loved the plaits and puffs and rat she
wore,
Loved the sky because she saw it,
Loved the air because she breathed It,
Loved her as he fancied man had never
loved before.
Montmorency Miggsworth loved the little
yellow bird
That the maiden fed from day to day,
Loved the brindle kitten that lay In her
lap and purred,
Loved the wads of gum she tossed away,
Loved the chair that she had sat In
Loved the tub that she had bathed In,
Loved her SO he hardly had the time to
earn his pay.
Montmorency Miggsworth loved the shoes
upon her feet,
Loved the little mole upon her cheek;
Loved her so he gladly paid for things she
liked to eat,
Went to see her seven nights week;
Loved the filings In her molars,
Loved the charcoal on her eyebrows
Loved SO love became the only word he
cared to speak.
Montmorency Miggsworth lost the Job he
had possessed,
Lost 1t when he had himself to blame;
Then Lucretia scorned him, and, discour7
aged and oppressed
What he did was really q shame
Thought that life was not worth living,
Loathed the world and longed to leave 1t.
But the world went swinging in it's orbit
just the same.

the building had been struck. but the
only damage was to the beautiful old

ceased Is unable to bear the expense
of a full-length coffin, smaller square
one is used, the remains being placed
in a sitting posture. These recep-
tacles are sometimes too small to re-
ceive the remains without breaking
the limbs.
In the present case, owing to the
affluent circumstances of the deceased,
the coffin was Of full length, it's frail
construction in the style of a toy
Swiss cottage. The two sides were
hung with bamboo curtains of so loose
weave as to show plainly the out
line of the body which was that

lowed by rikishas containing the
mourners and friends. On reaching
the auditorium of a nearby Buddhist
temple, the poles from which the cof-
fin hung extended so far into the en-
trance that 1t was difficult to gain
admittance. The affairs in these tenn
pies occupy SO much of the room that
little is left for the people. Spaces
were assigned us on the floor at the
right, where we could sit. In front
of each one stood a tray with cigar
cites and small brazier containing
a live coal to furnish light for the
smoker.

floor at the left. Just back Of the al

back Of him sat two other priests with
a pair of cymbals The service con-
sisted of prayers, repeated first by one
and then another, then all three in
unison, with occasional readings from
scrolls, all interspersed with strokes
on the gong and clangs Of the GYM
balls. During the service the bereaved
husband passed to the front Of each
group of friends, including our party,
knelt facing each group, and bowed
to the floor. This salutation was re-
turned by all in similar manner, as
an expression of regret and sympathy

HEART BEAT AFTER DEATH
Chicago Swltchman's PuIsatlon Con-

Chicago.-Medical circles here were
interested in the report of an inferno
In one of the largest hospitals in this
city that the heart of patient who
died in his ward had continued pull
sation two hours and forty minutes
after the mans respiration had ceased.
The report was made by DR.. l.. G..

pital.
The patient was George FIGHT, fifty
two years old, a switchman, who had
been caught between two freight cars.
His chest was crushed. He was op-

81. According to Doctor Merrill's re-
port Fitcht's breath stopped at mid
night. Doctor Morrill, remained by
the mans side and discovered that his
heart continued to beat. 1t did not
cease until 2:40 o'clock in the morn
ing, he declared, and meanwhile by
every test the mans lungs were life

Physicians declared the case of ex-

pillar invasion.

Elliott Woods, superintendent Of the
capitol buildings and grounds. has just
checked a serious invasion Of tussock
moth caterpillars, who were preparing
to devour the big trees on the reser-
walton. The insects appeared a few
weeks ago, and we're more numerous
and active than in ten years.
Mr.. Woods now thinks that victory
over these pests Is assured. A large
force of gardeners was engaged In
sweeping the moths on the walls as
they crawled over; then the trees
were sprayed with bordeaux mixture
and girdled with tanglefoot bands.
The only trees not bothered were the
walnuts. The spraying will be con-
tinued until the end OF August. but

be constructed this winter
For some time the present embassy
has been too small to accommodate
the needs Of the ambassador and his
staff and he has repeatedly asked for
a new home. 1t has been the influence
of the 100000 Italians in the United
States which has induced the Italian
government to build.
