PECULIARIrIES OF SENATORS
Spencer Eats No Breakfast, Curtis
Won't Uso Elevator, and over
man Takes Snuff.

During the lull In business employ
ees at the capitol have had time to
take stock of some peeullarltIes and
ldiosyncracles of senators, says the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald. For instance, they have
noted:
Senator Smoot of Utah only
shaves, or Is shaved, every other day.
He thinks that Is often enough and
he "llkes to give his face a rest"
Senator Spencer Of Missouri never
eats breakfast. But Senator Moses Of
New Hampshire, who was his guest at
luncheon recently, says "you should
see him eat the rest OF the day"
Senator Curtis of Kansas never
takes an elevator II he has the time
to climb the stairs. He says climb
ing stairs Is the best "reducer" lie has
ever tried. During the summer he
has done much stair climbing and
has lost % pounds.
Senator Overnan Of North Carolina
ls one Of the few senators who now
and then take pinch Of SNUFF from
the historic snuff boxes In the senate
chamber which are kept filled during
the sessions Of congress.
Senator Cameron Of Arizona says
he Is the best cook In the senate. When
a boy of sixteen years old he was
the sole cook for large crew on Il
fishing smack which operated off the
coast OF Maine. He also holds rec
ords as fisherman.
Senator LaFollette Gains hls nerves
after heated debate by pulling on
an old, well-seasoned pipe.

Miss Darcy looked up from her
writing. Read your message. Blake"
she said graciously.
He scanned the missive, a quick light
leaping to his eyes.
Excuse me, Miss Darcy. l will
return shortly" and he vanished,
After dinner when they were sit
ting on the terrace, Gay, the English
butler, approached them dlzzlly.
Madame, his grace the duke of
lakewood Is calling"
Margery gasped and ran forward
little. Down the terrace came Blake,
very handsome and entirely at ease in
perfect evening clothes. He bent to
kiss Margery's trembling hand then led
her forward to the expectant women.
"My fortunes have turned, Miss
Darcy, and l need not play at being
your chauffeur any longer. VIII you
and your sister bless a nephew and
forgive the deceit? l just had to be
near Margery so that she would not
forget me-"
"As If l could" reproached Margery.
Lost in the wonder of their love they
did not see the aunts stealing away
to whisper happily of the wedding and
TO marvel at the charming romance
they had stumbled upon.
"a duke Is duke, my dear Violet"
repeated Esther, "but remember we
have lost a perfectly good chauffeur !"

KIN OF NAPOLEON lNGRATES
His Sister Pauline Alone Was Faith
full to the Emperor
to the End.

With one exception Napoleon's
brothers and sisters proved to be in.
competent, ungrateful, or openly his
foes Napoleon made his eldest
brother, Joseph, king of Spain, and
Spain proved almost as deadly to him
as did Russia. "
He made his youngest brother, Je-
rome, who deserted his American wife
at the behest of Napoleon, king of
IWestphalla, says the Detroit News,
and Jerome turned the palace into
pigsty and brought dlscredit on the
VERY name of Bonaparte. His brother
Louis, for whom he had starved him
self, he placed upon the throne Of
Holland, and Louis promptly devoted
himself to his own interests, connlving
lat many things which were inlmlcal to
France. He was planning high ad-
.vancement for his brother, Luclen,
when Lucien married a dlsreputable
actress and fed with her to England,
where he was received by the most
persistent of all Napoleon's enemies
Napoleon's three sisters have been
styled "the three crowned courtesans"
He made Elsie princess in her own
right, and gave her the grand duchy
of Tuscany. He married Caroline to
Marshal Murat, and they became re
spectively king and queen Of Naples.
Caroline urged her husband to turn
against his former chief, and Elsie
threw in her fortunes with the Murats.
For Pauline he did very little, yet she
alone stood by him to the end He
gave her marriage dowry Of half a
million francs when she married the
Prince Borghese.

Sea ssrpents Were Seals.

Since the days of the first seafarers
who peopled the ocean with mermalds
and mermen. belief In sea serpents and
similar marine wonders has been firm
~ held by many mariners. In mod
ern times, sea serpents were reported
to have been seen along the coasts Of
the United States and Canada in 1906
In 1918, in 1914 and 1916, and In the
latter years similar creatures were as
serted to be prevalent along the Nor
wegian coast.
The first case which gained any
credence among scientific men, how
ever, was the report Of Captain Nc
Quhae Of the British navy, comman-
der Of the warshlp Daedalus, who de
clared that on August g, 1913, while
en- route from the Cape Of Good Hope
to ST. Helena, he and his men saw n
strange monster Of great size which
had many Of the characteristics OF the
sea serpent of the popular lmagna-
ton.
The standing Of Captain McQuhae
and his fellow officers rendered II
highly improbable that they were "
ing or were self-deuded. but after a
long discussion the scientific world de-
clded that the "serpent" was species
Of seal inhabitIng the South seas.

SCENIC VIEWS ON STAMPS
Plan Of Newfoundland 10 to Depict In
teresting Localities OF the
Island.

Postage stamps of New Foundland
always have been popular with collec-
tors, due, probably, to their variety of
attractive designs and excellent print
ing. A new issue, announced several
months ago, Is now appearing, and the
IA values will provide an interesting
pictorial addition to any album. Each
value has distinct design. The plan
Is to depict the scenic localities Of the
island, to which end scores of views
and photographs were submitted to
Postmaster General Halfyard. His
final selection, with their respective
values are:
One cent, Twin Hills at Tors Cove, a
favorlte resort for anglers and tour
lists; cents, Southwest Arm, Trinity
bay; cents, figure of the Fighting
Newfoundlander, the memorial pre-.
scented by Sir Edgar Bowrlng and over
looking Bowrlng park, st. John's 4
cents, picturesque nook on Humber
river; cents, coast scene near Trim
ity; cents, Upper Steadies, Humber
river; cents, Quidi Vidi village; .
cents, caribou crossing a lake; 10
cents, Humber river canyon; IL cents,
Shell Bird island, Humber river; IL
cents, Mount Moriah, Bay Of Islands /;
IS cents. Humber river near the Little
Rapids; 20 cents, Placentia from
Mount Pleasant; "a cents, Topsail
Falls, called the Brighton" of New
fOundland.
In addition to these, two other stamps
designed for air mail are being pre-
pared. The 10-cent value will show
view of st. Johns harbor with an air
plane over the narrows and the 10.
cent stamp will show a Vickers-VImy
alrplane at the Ropewalk field, prior
to the departure from that point Of the
late Capt. Sir John Alcock and Sir
Arthur Written Brown for the success
full direct flight across the Atlantic
ocean.
The stamps which this new issue
will supersede are known as the Carl
bOu series, which appeared In 1910 to
commemorate the services Of New
fOundlnnd soldiers In the World war.
The design Is uniform for all values,
being Inscribed either "Trail Of the
Caribou" or "Royal Naval Reserve"
Each denomination bears the name of
different action IN the war In which
the Newfoundland contingent took
part. Prior to that set the royal por-
trait series was In use. II was issued
In 1911 to commemorate the corona
ton Of King George, and bore hand
somely engraved miniatures of the
British royal family.-New York
Times.

that It constitutes warning to the
host Of small boys going into the river

AGE OF LOUD SPEAKERS HERE
Results in strainng Of Vocal Chords
and Throat Troubles, Says
Music Teacher.

A music teacher remarked the other
day that more and more people were
going to her for voice production, on
the advice of doctor, who rightly
snid that their throat troubles were
merely the result of stralnlng their
vocal chords, says London Answers.

ers," she said smilingly Particularly

in these crowded days never gets very
far.
One man said, quite seriously. the
other day, that he thought modern
dance music had great deal to do
with peoples strldent tones. And
there certainly Is something In that,
too.
Occasionally, after all the harsh
voices some one comes to town with
soft, grooming speaking voice. You
can spot such man or woman at
once, and know too, that they found
their soothing tones In the heart of

Naming PuIImans a Task.

The first pullman car was a femod-

8, and continued with its original des-
lgnatlon. 1t was first decided to letter
pullman car A, b, @, etc, but when
70 cars had been lettered, numbering
was resumed. However, to avoid con
fllct with railroad car numbers, 1t was
decided to give each pullman car Il
baptismal name, copying the custom Of
naming locomotives In the '70s after
officials and other celebrities, says the
Detroit News. 1.-THE Pioneer was the
first name used on a pullman cur.
Later names Of women, flowers, birds.
cities, towns, rivers, lakes, soldiers
poets, battlehelds and camps were
adopted. There are now so many pull
man cars that 1t has been found nee
essary to take names from ancient
history.

White River during Frontier Days.
and as long thereafter as necessary.
He has been specializing on barren
cows, and has been successful in fer
talizing about seventy-five per cent of
those treated. If you have any such
cows in your breeding herd, it will
pay you to have them treated, rather
than to sacrifice them to the block.
He will also do any other work
along that line. Have only been able
TO secure his services, because he in
tends to attend the Frontier Days
celebration at White River on August
