KING TO WEAR CULLINAN DIAMONDS

QUELLED A MUTINY

Miniature White Elephants Subdued Turbulent Cingalese.

Little Effigies Bought in Calcutta as Souvenirs for “Kiddies” at Home Pacify Bavage Little Natives on Ship.

New York. —Two miniature white elephants, purchased In Calcutta for a oouple of ahiliings by William Blakeman, a ship’s carpenter on board the British freight steamship Parisians raised that mariner to an important place on board the vessel on the voyage from the Indian port to New York. “Some of the boys on the ship and I were walking around Calcutta one hot afternoon in July,” he said, “and the walk took ua through a street where there are a lot of curio dealers. In One of the little stores I saw two elephants, carved out of the wood of a cocoanut tree, and I fancied that those two elephants, resembling the white elephants of Slam, would be about as

MAN’S MEMORY IS RESTORED

With Restoration Power of Speech Also Returns and Scattered Family Reunited.

Denver, Col. —It Is four years since the motherless boys of Jeremiah Warwick were placed In an Institution In this city. For a time Warwick visited his sons, aged at that time eighf and five years, respectively, and then hie visits ceased. There was no provision for the boys and no relatives could be found. The children were finally placed in a home for dependent children. A few days ago Jeremiah Warwick, a mental wreck, whose memory was entirely gone, was operated on at a hospital here and a tumor removed from his brain. Memory and the power of speech, which he had also lost, came back to him gradually, and the other day he Inquired for his boys, regarding whom his mind had been a blank for more than three years. A search of state institutions resulted In bringing father and sons together.

NEW PROJECTILE IS SUCCESS

Tests Made Near Berlin, Germany, Show It Could Set Airships and Balloons Afire.

Berlin. —The trials with the new projectile, apparently fired from a rifle, for use against airships, which were carried out at the experimental institution for hand firearms at Halensee. outside Berlin, are understood to have yielded surprising results. The projectile, which is described as a small -shell, set fire to the balloons through which it passed, with results that would have been immediately fatal to any airship in like case. If the new ammunition should fully Justify the claims made for It and should not be ruled out by the Geneva Conventions, it would go far toward rendering the bellicose employment of airships impossible.

LONDON. —A wonderful transformation has been wrought in the crown Jewels and regalia which will be used at the coronation In Westminster Abbey next June, and which have now been restored to the Wakefield Chamber In the Tower of London. The great Cullinan diamonds, the larger of which, out of cdmpllment to United South Africa, King Qeorge has ordered to be renamed the Star of Africa, have a prominent place In the regalia. The Star, which weighs 616% carats, has been set in the scepter near the head. The smaller Cullinan stone, whose weight 1b 309 3-16 carats, Is placed In the front of the crown which has been altered and enlarged and to the gems In which have been added two new sapphires, 66 brilliants and 52 rose diamonds. Both the Cullinan diamonds can be removed from the crown and scepter when those emblems of power are' not in use, and can then be worn by the queen as a pendant.

handy a brace of souvenirs for my kiddies at home as- anything that I could get in Calcutta. With the two elephants, one under each arm, we went Into the street again and on our way to the steamer.

“We noticed that every time we met a little brbwn Cingalese on the street he would prostrate before us, or alongside of us and salaam for all he was worth. We laughed a bit about it, but really thought little about the salaaming, although it did seem a bit queer all the way to the wharf. On the wharf the whole blooming lot of natives fell down as we passed through on the way to the Parislana.

“It was about a month or so later, when we were gelng through the In-, dian ocean toward the Red Sea that some trouble broke out among the Cingalese on board because one of our boys had accidentally jostled a bit of mutton that hung forward on deck for the native meBS. Of course we all know that It Is a serious thing for European hands to touch the food of the Mohammedan and we knew that it

SLEEPING WITH CLOTHES ON

Physician Declares Custom 6f Leaving Warm Raiment for Cold Bbeets Injurious.

London.—ls It necessary to undress Is order to go to bed? Writing under the pen name of "Lawrence Beesley,” a physician, who In his professional capacity of ship's doctor and also on pleasure journeys has traveled over a considerable part of the Inhabited globe, Is of opinion It is not He says; “How often does one hear the remark, ’How tired I am of dressing and undressing, of getting up and going to bed!' “I have made the same remark myself, and of late have simplified the minor details of my daily routine considerably.

“Why should we all undress and take off all our clothes every night, with the consequent redressing in the morning? Why? “I have lived on board ship and in the tropics, In Canada, and in the desert of Arabia, and I say this, that I have been as healthy and as fit and Infinitely more satisfied with life under conditions which practically compelled me to sleep In my clothes—minus boots, coat and collar. “In so-called civilisation, where I live now. I have to remove every 'rag* at nlgbt, put on cold pajamas and get Into colder sheets, and shiver (during the cold weather) for ten mlnutets or more, with the knowledge that in the morning I have to drees once again and am supposed to have a bath. “I cannot for the life of me see why two hot evening baths per week should not be sufficient for anybody—and personally I have quite given up undressing at night, with the exception, as I said before, of boots, collar and ooat. t,

‘lt is well known that men who ‘rough it,* who sleep in their clothes, and who hare not the eternal worry of dressing and undressing, of cold baths, cold sheets, starched collars and all the paraphernalia of the ‘town man,’ are infinitely happier, freer, healthier and stronger than their city brethren. "Try it Sleep in your underclothes

would be bard to pacify the Cingalese on board after tfcfltr mutton bad been ■polled for them through contact with the hands of onbeUevere. * “There was a great hullabaloo on the forward deck just as I came out of the forepeak, and the whole pack of brown fellowß set upon me as the nearest and bandiefct man on which: to wreak their vengeance. In times like these native chaps are not responsible, practically running amuck, and they swung bars and clubs right and left I ducked back into the forepeak, Intending to get my belonging* and make a break for amidships, where I would hare the protection of the officers, who were armed.

“When I came out again, carrying my two elephants under my arms, the Cingalese made for me again. Then, as they saw the little white elephants they suddenly dropped their bars and club 6 and every man of them dropped list on deck and salaamed as if their lives depended on it. I was lucky enough to remember the salaaming in Calcutta and I flashed the elephants which I had later found out had caused the respect of the city natives during our walk through Calcutta. The native sailors squirmed around and around on their stomachs to make sure that they would face me and the elephants as they salaamed and the rebellion on board the Parislana was successfully put down without bloodshed.” • The two little white elephantß remained in a conspicuous place in the main saloon on the freighter in case of further emergency, but their services were not again required on the voyage.

FIND NEW USE FOR ALCOHOL.

Prof. Hill of London Invents Apparatus for Use In Treatment of Pneumonia Cases.

London. —Prof. Leonard Ersklne Hill of the London hospital has invented an apparatus for use in the treatment of pneumonia which Is expected to prove of great service. “For some time," says Prof. Hill, “It has been recognized that the best way to supply alcoholic stimulant to the laboring heart in pneumonia is by way of the lungs in the form of vapor. My apparatus arranges for a mixed vapor of oxygen, water and alcohol, to be carried directly to the lungs, whence It reaches the heart from the pulmonary veins. Thence, the stimulant is carried directly to the heart muscle itself by the coronary arteries.” Because there is not sufficient undiseased lung tissue left Jo breathe with, and because the heart thereby fails, the judicious administration of heart stimulants so as to tide this organ over until the lung symptoms subside is the chief polntTnYEAtreatment. By using Prof. Hill’s apparatus the heart can be reached by a stimulant much more accurately and quickly than if the alcohol were given In the ordinary way.

Stokers Lead in Suicides.

London. —Suicides of Btoke hold hands are about five times more numerous than those of engine room hands and three times more than among other seamen, according to a board of trade report One British seaman In every 1,500 loses his life from drink, but only one Lascar in every 21,000.

—flannel shirt and socks; have two hot baths a week and save hours per annum and oceans of bad language. “I am speaking as a medical man of twenty years’ experience. “I believe many chills are caught by the sudden change from thick, warm flannel clothes to thin pajamas and ice cold sheets, which is the general custom in this country. “I am further of the opinion it is not a benefit to the individual to open the pores of the skin by constant bathing or to close them suddenly by rapid changes of surface temperature in a climate such ae ours —particularly such as it has been lately.”

RAP AT STAGE CARICATURES

Society Says Publio ll" Tired of Cork* screw Curis as Character Actor's Make-Up.

New York. —The National Society of New England Women, which has headquarters in this city, has begun a crusade protesting against the stage burlesques of the typical New England wodian. “The public is getting tired of the corkscrew curls which \the stage seems to consider typical of the New England women,” is the statement. “There are countless New England plays, but who ever saw a real Nevf England woman on the stage? It seems strange, for it would seem actors should rather have a true part than a false one, eren when it Is less amusing.”

His Mules Are Too Fat.

New York. —“Hey, Charlie,*' cried Chief of Polioe Higgins of Olen Ridge, N. J.. to Charles Miller of Newark, as the latter drove through Olen Ridge, “your mules are too tat, and you’ll have to giro them an obesity cure. Otherwise it’s a call for you." Chief Higgins then showed Miller a scented missive, on pink paper, written by a woman apparently. In which complaint was made that Miller's mules were too tat and that It was cruel to drive, them in that condition. The letter was signed Lorer of Animals.” *

The ONLOOKER

By WILBUR D. NESBIT

Dr Hamlet

“Surgeons are now giving more study to ‘borderland cases’ —those in which the question is whether or not an operation is necessary.”

To cut, or not to cut, that is the question; Whether ’tis better in the mind to argue It it be or be not appendicitis, Or to administer the anaesthetic And have an operation?—To cut, —to carvs No mere; or, by carving say we end Lumbago and the thousand natural ills That flesh is heir to. Is an operation. Devoutly to be wished. To cut—to dose;—

To dose?—Perchance to cure! Ay, there ’» the rub! For with that cure of ills what ills may come When folk have shuffled from our office door Must give us pause : there’s-the respect That comes of bulletins sent hourly forth. For who would miss the calcium light of fame. The advertisement of the great man’s surgeon? The patients in the office, waiting turns. The folk who have such lordly stomach aches That they would have their social status shown By the bare scalpel! Who would powders give When people yearn to go beneath the knife? And, O, the jdy of something after that!— Borne undiscovered symptom, of whose pain The patient still may talk—and foot the bill. And who would rather bear the ills he has Than fly to others that he knows not of? Thus aching doth make patients of them all Until they form the stubborn' resolution To lie upon the table and resemble The frontispiece of Ayer’s almanac. With this regard, their faces turn away. They hate the name of physic. Soft you, now. The operation! ffurse, in thy fever charts Be all my words remembered.

Using the Information.

“Please, suh,” said Unc’ Mose, “would yo’ all please be so kind as ter show me how ter write million, es yo’ please ?” to write million?” asked th« bookkeeper, who often assisted Unc’ Mose in his letter writing. “Yes, suh.” The bookkeeper jotted it down on a slip of paper and Unc’ Mose went away, murmuring thanks. Later in the day he proudly exhibited a letter he had written to his son down in Georgia, in which he said: “I hopes you is going to have a good waterl,ooo,ooo crop this summer.”

Takes Time.

“I understand, professor,” says the Interviewer to the savant, “that you had discovered a certain way to kill mosquitoes.” “I do not know that It may be called a discovery,” deprecates the savant. “But would you outline It?” “It is simplicity Itself. All that Is necessary is to wait until we have a good frost, which will do away with the pests.”

A Finished Musician.

“Yes,” said the proud mother, “we thought It was time we bought Susie a real good piano now. She’s been taking music for a year and she’s got so Bhe can cross her bonds and play, Just as Paddy Rooeeter.” “Yes’m,” answered the clerk. “And do you think a baby grand would be what you would like?” “A baby grand? O, my, no! Why, Susie doesn’t like to play them lull* by pieces, do you Susie?”
