Persia has sent an ultimatum to the

demanding the immediate withdrawal
of these troops and full recognition
of the neutrality of Persia, according

Persia declared the minister, desired
to remain neutral but events of the

the Persians must take steps to de-
fend, their people from assault and
outrage. Due to the fact that tele-

among us.
Twenty-three years ago Jay Gould

FINISHING SCHOOLS

BY GEORGE FITCH

XXT HEN a girl is too refined or
Wv too exclusive or too stupid to
be sent to public school any
longer, her fond parents send her to
a finishing school, These schools are
so named because Of what they do
to father.
Finishing schools are conducted
by eminent financiers. Their object
is to get $500 year and extras per
head from their students. The fin
ishing school can take a raw, timid
girl with a fair-sized bundle of
money and by judiciously separating
the two can produce in time a beau,
tiful young lady who can read
French, play "The Rosary" talk
about the drama, get in and out
OF room like a princess and snub
poor relation SO tactfully that the
latter will thank her with tears in
his eyes for the favor. It costs
from $500 to $4,000 year to varnish
young lady in this style, and after
she is properly finished it costs
$4,000 year for upkeep and deeora-
tions until some brave young man
comes around for her The educa-
tion part comes cheap in these
schools, but the extras are better
than they are in the contracting
business. There was once a private
school proprietor who radiated a
wonderful atmosphere of repose, and
he used to make $4,000 year charg-
ing up extras for the wear and tear
on his atmosphere.
Private schools are very strict in
discipline, and it really seems a pity
that so many efficient guards are
wasted on nice young ladies all over
our land while desperate criminals
are leaking from their prisons on
every hand In the best private
schools parents are only allowed to
see their daughters once year, and
then only il their influence Is deemed
desirable by the head jailer.

Fumigation After Cancer

Please state lohether In your opin-
ion fRmi0dtion should be done after
the death Of a bad case Of cancers
AHSicer-No. In our opinion
fumigation is useless, except tc. kill
vermin. Soap and water cleaning,
plenty Of ventilation and sunlight
are all the disinfection the rooms
require. This applies to diphtheria,
smallpox. cancer, tuberculosis or
any contagion. Personal clothing,
toilet articles, things possibly soiled
by any secretions, should be burned,
boiled or chemically disinfected.
Nosebleed
What can be done to stop ordindry
noSebleed?
AnSioer-Most instances of nose
bleed are hemorrhages from
minute liberated spot on the carti-
lage, or partition between the nos
trils just inside of the nose (pro-
duced by the finger naiD. Hence
light and prolonged pinching of the
nostrils stops the bleeding. Some
times the spot can be touched with
a suitable caustic by the doctor, to
stop frequent alarming hemorrhages.
Do not blow the nose. Apply ice or
cold to back of neck.

HAT we were once. and not 50
long ago, afraid Of our great
fortunes is remembered, That
we are less SO, if at all now, IS also
felt. One reason is that our owners
Of great fortunes, unlike those of Eu-
rope, have the good habit Of giving
away vast sums for educational AMI
charitable ends. Another is that
having no law of primogenituro,
great fortunes are divided among
many children. But back of this, the
Worlds Work thinks that the real
reason is economic. In 1887 Com
modore Vanderbilt left to his son,
William H., a majority interest IN the
New York Central Railroad The
heir held ii only three or four years,
and then with proceeds from the sale
Of nearly all OF his holding invested
in United States bonds. His reason
was that he wanted rest from the
great responsibility and preferred an
investment that did not require
nerve-raclIing and incessant personal
att1. lon. And this seems to be a
general quality. There is only one
family that was pre-eminently rich
several years ago that is so now

on land. like that Of the mediaval

Aristocracies Of all civilizations,
ancient end mesern, are based on
wealth, those OF Europe being chiefly
based on land ownership as the most
aiabie and least exaciing form. But
there is a difference cf social dis

forms, such as railroads Under
