There are violent contrasts in the
shapes of hats Some are very tall

There seems to be such a thing as in

tensive gardening and farming. It has
been shown :experimentally that re-

shallow, more superficial, thereafter:
and 1T Is conceivable that by s~leepine

might secure as much actual rest as
we now obtain by dissipatfng it over
seven or eight hours. 1t would be in

about comparative sleep in the vari.

that birds, despite their enormous &C

Direct Heallnn.

Why do new thought healers and
metaphysicians generally object to
the use Of medicine in its other phase
AS a chemical stimulant to vital re.
action? For a multitude Of reasons,
but n will suffice; the only cause
Of disease is abnormal thought or
emotion-back Of every attack, acute
OF chronic, lies a false belief Of an
intense and wrongly directed desire
or emotion. AS long as these cor.
rosive vibrations are turned into the
organism it is impossible for perma.
nent health to exist; and on the 9th.
Ell hand, as soon as they are reversed,
the life power which originally built
the body is perfectly capable Of re-.
building and setting it to rights. To
strive to force it do so by the use Of
chemical irritants, while at the same
time destructive thought is allowed
to continue its work, is absurd

Vast Bulk Of Russian Empire.

Merely by way Of supplementing the
regular appropriations for the Russian
army the cars government has add
ed $50, 900, 900 to the usual estimates
for that great engine Of war. Europe
Is gravely discussing extensive
changes and improvements in the
equipment and organization Of the
Russian artillery, especially, and GER
many and Austria-Hungary are care
fully noting the reports Of the mass
ing Of Russian troops ear their from

tention to the huge bulk Of the Russ
sian empire. It is by far the great
est connected territory under any flag
The only empire more extensive Is
that of Great Britain, which lies In
widely separated parts of the earth!
The population of Russia's vast realr4
is much greater than that Of any 9TH
er country inhabited by people Of Eu7
ropean blood or origin. The Russian
standing army is by far the largest
in the world. The Russian revenues
are also greater than those Of any
other nation, though not larger than
those of all parts Of the British en-
pire, taken together. Russia grows
the biggest wheat crop in the world
and the largest rye crop.

HAD PITY ON The OLD MAN
Story of KInd-Hearted Chicago Wom-
an, the Peddler and the
Short Change.

A tottering old maR-he looked
about one hundred and ten years o
age-knocked at the door Of a flat or
the second floor of an Oak Park apart
ment building recently, offered hin
wares for sale, and was informed thai
nc needles were needed, relates the
Chicago News. Then the poor ole
face quivered and the lachrymal glands
were opened and a deluge ensued. The
rains descended and the floods came
Dear lady," sobbed the old man
'Just one package. They told me II
! couldn't work I would have to go to
the poorhouse. And ! am trying tc
work-oh, I am trying, but nobody will
buy" ...
It was heartrending. The lady OF
the house dug deep into her purse,
But a 81 bill was the smallest she
could produce.
"You haven't change for 81, I sup.
pose," she said, hesitatingly.
BLESS your dear, kind heart, lady.
I wish I had. But I'll go and get it,
@NO1 OOh y SINC LAS LILO AOIAhA " ShdA6O'
Thank you, but don't do that. I will
try to sell some needles first. Maybe
later I will have enough change and
then I will come back"
Twas, indeed, a shrewd stroke.
Two hours later the old man re-
turned. His nose was blue with cold
and his hands trembled as he held
them out.
There, lady, count that" he quav-
cred. There was just 60 cents change
in his palm.
ooh, dear, is that all? What shall I
do? It was all 1 could get"
OF course, you know what hap
pened. The lady Of the house took
two packages of needles that she
didn't want and gave him the 81 BILL
receiving as change the 60 cents.
She watched the pitiful figure de-
scend the stairs and later glanced
casually from her real window. This.
Is what she saw: :
Under the stairs was the old man!
He was counting his money. From one
pocket he took a roll Of bills; from
another a bunch Of half dollars, from
another a pocketful Of quarters and
from another a handful of pennies.
He counted all the money gloatingly,
put it in a bag and went his way.

PROMINENT NAN
IS UNDER ARREST

Chicago, June 26.-Daniel Murphy,
known to friends and business asso-
ciates as a prosperous broker, was ar
rested in his home yesterday and
property valued at more than $4,000,
alleged by the police to have been
stolen, was recovered.
Most Of the articles were TAPESTRIES
and objects of art, and included
seventeenth century prayer rug, a
Sicilian vial of the eighteenth century,
valuable pieces Of statutory, and much
Venetian lace.
Murphy was known to the depart
ment stores as an expert in many
lines of art and was considered a val
| liable customer. 1t was only when It
was noticed that his visits to the art
departments usually were followed by
the loss of some especially valuable
article that suspicion turned to him.

What He Would Have Done.

Ben Foster was noted for his shift
lessness. II it had not been for his
wife, he would not have done a stroke
Of work on his little farm and gar
den. It was all his wife could do to
get him to work, for he preferred to
sit and read all day. ..4
One evening, after he had been
reading French history with deep i'm
terest, he closed the book and said
to his wife: do you know, Maria,
what I'd "a done if I had been Ma
poleon?"
ooh, yes. I know we'll enough" his
wife responded. you'd have settled
right down on a farm in Corsica and
let it run to ruin, while you grumbled
about your hard luck."-Youth's Com

Apropos Of foreign honesty, DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler tells this
story.
"On a foreign railroad" he said, "a

commuter turned to a friend and
said:
We'll the P. D. r. will never see
another cent Of my money after this.

looked back and snarled:
"'Whatll you do2 Walk?'
"'Oh, no. said the commuter, I'll

includes the 10 per cent rule for res
turants or hotel cafes, 5 or 10 cents
Tor bellboys' service, 10 cents for
BARRIERS and so on. If a traveller in
this or other countries must give gra-
tultles-and 1t seems to be conceded
that he must-he should not be the
object of frowns and dour looks if he
confines himself to some such moder-
ate scale.
Meanwhile, it would do wealthy or
spendthrift Americans no harm to
think over the injury they are doing
by spelling hotel porters and walters
with lavish fees, thereby depriving
other people, who tip moderately of
good service and sometimes Of re-
spectful treatment. Such people ought
TO know that giving extravagant tins
is a sign Of i'll breeding.

Some Of the most stubborn battles
