Battleships go'to the 6crap heap almost aa fast as pugilists do. Smoke costs Chicago $21,830,000 a year, not to mention the agony. The process of dying poor la easily achieved by nine men out of ten. ~ A Chicago woman takes taxicab tides to cure the blues. Not her husband's, however. Thieves In New York stole a wagon load of cheese. The police, we presume. are on the scent. A man went mad In a barber's chair In New York. Probably the barber was talking winter baseball gossip. It Is now possible to go around the world In less than half the time It took Jules Verne’s hero to make his trip. , , . ; t Possibly this world would be better off ts there were no pistols In It At least, there would be more people here. There is more money In being an ex-king of Portugal than In being an ex-president of the United States, but there Is less excitement Hello! Here's Vienna exceeding the 2,000,000 mark. Some of those oldworld towns are getting nearly as big as a young American city. A new golf rule reads like this: "The shaft may be fixed at the heel or at any other point In the head.” Is this golf language or what is U? A New York man who had lost his memory was found with $60,000 in his pockets. Probably discovered on a witness stand at an investigation. It Is said that a St. Louis man kissed a girl 15,000 times in one month. Must have used a kissometer to keep the count It Is said by a glove dealer that Chicago men have reason to be proud of their small hands. Since when have small hands been a source of masculine pride? One of New York’s millionaires Is going to marry a telephone girl because she was always polite to him on the wire. Why spoil a nice polite telephone girl? ■ -i. . ,’ir A popular danseuse makes oath that her entire property 1b worth only $250, which may account for her economical use of stage dress.

Anybody want a nice little garden, centrally located? Gardening is fine for the nerves, the doctors tell us. The general manager of the Chicago telephone company says that the question, “What’s the time?” Is asked of his operators by Chicago subscribers no fewer than 52,000 times a day. There ought to be a good market in Chicago for clocks and watches that will keep time. A girl in Vienna was recently fined 86 cents for scratching a man’s nose In the street with her hatpin. This is the first poetic retribution which has overtaken the elongated feminine hatpin, and it is so because the enormity of the offense was equaled only by the hugeness of the fine. Now that it has been demonstrated that cattle can be herded with an aeroplane, we may expect soon to see the police handling crowds at parades and other public celebrations in the same manner. It will be an improvement over the pushing and hauling of the method In vogue at present The prevalence of the bubonic plague in the east has put American health officers on their mettle. There is no occasion for special alarm, for medical skill Is equal to the emergency, says the Troy Times. The fact that several cases have been discovered on Incoming steamers and that effective quarantine has proven V ed further spread of the ailment is assurance that vigilance is maintained.

It hu been judicially decided that when a man rives a girl a diamond ring as an engagement token, the ring belongs to her and she cannot be made to give It up it the engagement la broken. Soon poor mere man will be beginning to count his tew remaining rights and wonder when they are all taken from him if he can accomplish anything with the dominant sex by becoming in his torn a militant suffragette. England, and especially London, is making great plans for the coronation of King George next spring. It Is expected that the gorgeous spectacle -will surpass anything of the kind ever seen in the British capital, and the •bow will bring enormous crowds to tbe city.

CORONATION HELPS INDUSTRIES OF BRITAIN

MAKING THE GARTER BANNERS FOR THE KING AND QUEEN

LONDON. Preparations for the coronation of King George iu June are furnishing employment for a great number of the working people of England. Nearly all the robes, gowns, etc., are being made In the British Isles, and most of the elaborate embroidery necessary is being done in London.

FOOD ANIMAL IS NEW

Texans Hope to Produce One at Reduced Cost. With Muntjac Deer of India Foundation Will Be Laid for Animal That Will Thrive in Lone Star State. Galveston, Tex. —“I have believed for a long time that Texas could produce a food animal that would come into more general use than any at present to be found on the farms and ranches of the state,” said Mr. Lee Mountfort. Mr. Mountfort has a ranch In the vicinity of Robs town, Nueces county, and has for some time past, he says, been conducting experiments in animal breeding. “I have been watching the work of Luther Burbank for a long time,” Mr. Mountfort continued, “and it gave me the idea that I am at present working out. Of cours, I cannot hope to do in the animal kingdom what Burbank has done with fruits, but the main principle underlying both oifr efforts is to determine what product is necessary, how the present product is to be improved upon, and then work out the line of improvement. “Now take the case of meat in Texas. For years Texas has been considered a cow country, so far as meat was concerned. Recently the breeders have been affected by the demand for hogs to the extent that hog raising has predominated. Sheep are also raised. But there is a need In Texas for a food animal that is smaller than the cow, hog or sheep, and bigger than the domestic hen or the rabbit, which Is so easily killed on our ranches. The meat supply of the average ranch Is at present drawn from the smokehouse, and while there are a few Texans who will decry bacon and ham as a diet, there are also few but will admit that fresh meat is better, when it can be obtained. "There are not many farms where a sheep, for example, can be killed frequently and easily used before some of it spoils. This Is even more true of beef. The hogs are killed at one time of the year and the meat necessarily preserved. How, then, is the problem to be met? Obviously not by development of any of the existing species of animals now indigenous to Texas. We must have a new breed. If we can’t create it it must be imported. There’s my chain of reasoning in a nutshell. “I looking about for some animal that Is good for food and that will thrive in the climate of Bouthwest Texas, 1 have read a great deal of various breeds. I can find few animals that are more suitable, to my view, than the little-known ’Muntjac' deer of India. This animal is a beautiful little creature, and is only about 21 or 22 Inches in height. It has small horns, but is not combative, or large enough to be dangerous. It is similar to the sheep In its diet, feeding upon practically any kind of herbage. The meat from the muntjac, I understand, Is of delicious flavor, and possesses that slight gamey taste that makes the epicure prefe- venison to almost any other meat. “As l view the situation, the bringing to the country of a small mammal of this size is of enough importance to justify some little expense. After thinking it over. I have arranged with one of my friends, Capt. Richard Watson of the tramp steamship Punjaub, o bring me some. The Punjaub on her present trip Is to go from Cape Town to Calcutta, and can obtain the muntjac there 1 have asked him to get several pairs, eight or ten if possible to accommodate them, a* several will doubtless die on the tirp. But with those that survive I hope to lay the foundation for a brand new breed of farm food animals in Texas. “I have heard (hat a breeder In antral Texas has been raising Virginia deer for the past four or five years, and has made something of a success of the breeding. The venison finds a ready sale, and the skins have little difficulty In finding a market. Although this animal is somewhat larger than the one I have in mind, it ought also to be developed in the state. This Virginia deer Is also known as the ’white tall,' and Is able to-live in practically any part of the country, if in the colder climates ft Is given a certain amount of attention In winter. TV i« unusually prolific and

the doe, I understand, nearly always produces twins. This breed will eat cotton seed, and will subsist upon practically anything with the exception of wild hay. \ But I dm pinning my hopes upon the muntjac, and as the Punjaub Is due in either New Orleans or Galveston within the next two or three months, I hope that the time will not be long before I will be In a position to make an announcement of the success of my experiment. If the muntjac comes into general use on the southwest Texas farms it will mean that the farmer and his family will be provided with fresh meat every two or three days. And this venison will prove a welcome variation to the hog meat and chicken that now form the staple meat diet of the average farm end ranch.”^

War on Long Hatpins.

Budapest.—First among European cities, the Hungarian capital has followed the example of America in waging war against women’s dangerous hatpins. After consulting the leading modistes and fashion writers the police have issued an edict ordering that the points of all hat pins longer than the diameter of the crown of the hat, must be protected by a screw cap. Notices have been put up at all theaters, concert halls, girls’ schools and places frequented by women. The penalty for the first offense is S2O and the confiscation of the pin.

“Rocket Bullet” Not New.

New York.—Rifle bullets which throw off a brilliant light as they travel through the air and which are being hailed in Germany as a revolutionary military invention, are no novelties to American army men. They were first experimented with many years ago by the United States government, according to statements by officers stationed here.

TONES TO SUPPLANT WORDS

Head of Musical Department of Los Angeles High School Has New Method of Harmony. Los Angeles. Cal.—Los Angeles eventually will be a paradise of perfect linguistics If the plans of those at the head of the music department of the public schools can carry out their modern ideas of voice using. The system lately introduced aims to make conversation a continuous harmony delight and to free it from many of the everyday defects of enunciation. Children are to be taught to form words and sentences as they would the phrases of a song and to have a mellifluous effect always in mind In speaking. Miss Katherine D. Stone, head or the musical department of the public schools here, has started on a tour of all the principal cities in the country with the purpose of giving and accepting suggestions as to the successful working out of the new method of voice culture. Each voice has a different dominant note, that is, a note upon which all the speaking sounds are based. From this note every modulation and inflection of the voice should be regulated. Usually in an ordinary sentence, unless the emotion ia violent, the dominant note is used at the commencement and different tones are afterward employed through the different colors of a sentence. Grief, hatred and enmity all have distinct and varied rules for correct intoning. Grief and deep emotion are expressed in the minor key entirely. Just as a song of sorrowful cast is written in a minor strain. In the exclamation. “Oh, my.” said sadly, the whole cromatic scale is employed for a complete octave. On the other hand, joy and conviction are shown by the major key and an ejaculation such as "Hurrah!” will in complicated order cover all but one major octave fro ma low note to a high one. ——-J In a question the high note should come at the point in the sentence when the query is most pronounced; thus, in “Where are you going?” the high note would come in “where,” but If a person asked the question to ■ingle oat a certain individual, thus.

WEAVING CORONATION VELVET

RADIUM KILLED MANY CATS

One Csncer Patient Got Well, Bui Beven Died After Treatment—Objection la Excessive Coat. London.—Sir William Ramsay, the discoverer of the atmospheric gases argon, neon, krypton and xenon and the leading authority on the transmu* tation of radium, gave his experiences of the effects of radium on life, following the experiment at Alfort, nea* Paris, of Prof. Gabriel Petit, who says he found that an old horse in whom radium had been injected deceived a new lease on life. “The experiment,” said Sir William, “has been frequently tried both on animals and on human beings, but with no very positive results. I have tried radium Injections on cats and the effect was that they became emacl ated after a short time and eventually died. It produces profound alterations of the tissues. “Of eight persons suffering from cancer who received injections of radium, one recovered, but the others did not, so that It is difficult to say what were the effects of the radium, if any. “The external application of radium for certain kirnjLs of cancer undoubtedly effects a cure, hut in other kinds sometimes results are attained and eoitietimes not. The skin undoubtedly shows radio-activity for some time, and the effect on many persons may be of a stimulating nature. “One of the greatest objections to the use of radium—for injections would be Its excessive cost.”

Forced to Shave.

Meadville, Pa. —Senior male stndents at Allegheny' college who last Christmas made solemn vows to henceforth' wear whiskers and mustaches, appeared the other day for the first time since with clean-shaven faces. The co-eds seriously objected to such facial adornment and boycotted the boys. Few students admit they broke their vow to please the girls.

“Where are you going?” the upper tone would be upon the “you.” Miss Truslow states that the Americans as a rule speak with a closed throat, which is not, only very inharmonious, but is deadening to the voice and causes a person of thirty to speak like one of fifty. The old Italian method of singing emphasized the Importance of the open throat. Other methods - have come and goner but this has survived as the true method of “bel canto.” All the words are formed on the lips and as far to the front of the teeth cm possible. In this way a correct speaker- can often be understood! by the movement of his lips alone. Nasal, throaty and harsh voices are all caused by the tone being produced in either the nose, throat or chest A child who Is shown how to place each tone correctly will always do so through force of habit. The~children are reported as taking readily/'to the new order of things in the schools and lectures have been given on the subject before various clubs In the city.

Wireless Phones on Trains.

New York. —That the Union Paeiflo plans to equip its entire system with wireless telephone apparatus for sending messages from moving trains to stations along the line. Is the announcement of Dr. Frederick Milliner of electrical expert in thg employ of tfie railroad, before the New York Railroad club\> annual meetfcj here the other day.

Seattle Will Build High.

Seattle. Wash.-r-The last obstacle to the erection of a 41-story building in this city by the estate of L C. Smith of Syracuse, N. Y., was removed ths other night when the council committee that has been going over the plans voted to grant the permit The skyscraper will be the highest office building outside of New Torn.

Seeds Given to Children.

Cleveland Ohio.—The school board Is distributing 50,000 packages of flower and vegetable seeds among the. pupils, and Miss Louise Miller, curs; tor of garden work, is lecturing daily to the children, telling the chlldret how to plant and care for gardeem.

FAMILY PRIDE.

■ Prof, stork—And how are we get* ting on with our studies, Ernestine f Have you been promoted to the fly* ing class yet? Little Miss Quacker —Oh, no, professor. Mother has decided that I shall not take that course. She says anybody can fly—but only the best families take to water naturally.

WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT WITH ITCHING ECZEMA

“Evpr since I can remember I was a terrible Bufferer of eczema and other irritating skin diseases. I would lie awake all night, and my suffering was intolerable. A scaly humor settled on my back, an& being but a child, I naturally scratched it It was a burning, -itching sensation, and utterly intolerable, in fact, it was so that I could not possibly forgot about 1L It'did not take long before it spread to my shoulders and arms, and I was almost covered with a mass of raw flesh omcccount of my scratching it I was in such a condition that my hands were tied. "A number of physicians were called, but It seemed beyond their medical power and knowledge to cure me. Having tried numerous treatments without deriving any benefit from them, I had given myself up to the mercy of my dreadful malady, but I thought I would take .the Cuticura treatment as a last resort. Words cannot express my gratitude to the one who created ‘The Cuticura Miracles,’ as I have named them, for now I feel as if I never suffered from even a pimple. My disease was routed by Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and I shall never cease praising the wonderful merits they contain. I will never be without them, in fact, I can almost dare any Bkin diseases to attack me so long as I have Cuticura Remedies in the house. I hope that this letter will give other sufferers an idea of how I suffered, and also hope that they will not pass the ‘Cuticura Life Saving Station.’ ” (Signed) C. Louis Green, 929 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, Aug. 29, 1910.
