People and Events

Pretender to “Be Editor. iTo provide the French Royalists with an organ, the Duke of Orleans, who ia the pretender to the throne of France, has purchased the Parisian newspaper Soleil, and will conduct the in the interests of the cause of which he is the

iof the crowned heads of the continent, (turning editor will be interesting to (contemplate. Orleans can well afford to essay the task of financing a newspaper. His private fortune is ample. Recently it was reinforced by a decision of the French court which condemned I the French govenment to turn over to (the Duke and his family property and Ifunds worth many millions of dollars. iThe property consists largely of canal .shares which were the property of the house of Orleans at the time of the great revolution in the latter part of the eighteenth century. After the downfall of the dynasty this property was confiscated. In 1814 laws were passed providing for its restoration to the original owners. This was impossible in a majority of cases, as the government had disposed of the property. Subsequently the law provided that the (restoration should be made in cases *where the new owners died without (heirs, which would place the government in actual possession of it. Restitution has been made under the decision rendered lately by the courts.

Emancipate Farmer's Wife.

F. J. Frost, of Almond, Wis., who represents the Second District in the (Wisconsin legislature, wants a steam (laundry established at every crossroads in the state, where farmers’ wives may bring their weekly washings and save themselves one of the hardest duties of their work. Mr. Frost has not fully developed his idea as yet, and has no definite plan for the establishment and maintenance of the laundries, but he declares his plan is feasible. He is engaged in visiting the residents of his district, fixing his politi-

cal fences, and incidentally getting their views on his pet scheme. He contrasts the comparatively little labor done by the housewife in ' the city, where laundries are available, with the drudgery of the country farmhouse, where each week's washing and ironing must be done on the premises and commonly by the housekeeper herself.

Head of Mystic Shriners.

Philip C. Shaffer, the new imperial potentate of the Noblee of the Mystic Shrine, is a native of Philadelphia. and one of the beet known business men in town. He has just entered upon his flfty-flrst year and for more than one-half of his life has been a Mason. Upwards of seventeen years ago he joined the Shrine ns. and for twelve years he officiated in the poet of Oriental Guide of Lu Lu Temple Philadelphia. For three years he was the potentate of the temple, and he was elected to the office 'of the deputy Imperial potentate at the last meeting of the Shriners, Mr. Shaffer, as may be imagined, la one ->f the most enthusiastic of the

IMPERIAL POTENTATE SHAFFER

The legislator believes a steam laundry could easily be operated in connection with each creamery at his home town of Almond with a view to trying the plan. Mr. Frost hopes to be known to posterity as the emancipator of the country housewife. The reward he hopes for in life is a return to the legislature. Mr. Frost is serving his second term in the assembly. He is the Almond agent of several insurance companies and of an agricultural machinery manufacturer, and owns ~ a large farm, which he manages in addition to his other business. He is a graduate from the Oshkosh Normal school and is 43 years old.

Mary SacK&tlle to Wed.

Lady Mary Sackville of England, well known to the 400 of New York and to the elite of Washington, and who was at one time reported to have been engaged to Frank Gould, will soon rid herself of the name for fickleness which society has placed upon her. The titled English woman is now pre-

Trusts Affect Prices.

Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks of Cor-, nell university has made an unbiased study of the effects of trusts on prices, which appears in the current number of the North American Review. From the facts gathered by the United States Industrial commission he deduces the conclusion that prices are made higher by the trusts than they woul£ be otherwise. The fact that prices of manufactured commodities are now lower than they were before the era of combinations proves nothing either way. The crucial question is whether or not the margin between the cost of raw materials and the market price of the finished product has increased since the coming of the trusts. Even this is not an infallible test as regards prices, for the trust may use its power to force down the cost of the raw material it needs, but in general the size of this margin between raw material and finished product is the most reliable teet available. Paul Revere, the revolutionary hero, was an inventor, though not many people are aware of the fact. He was the first man to refine and roll copper. In 1801 he founded the Revere Copper company, and the company is still running, under the same name, in Canton, Mass. The King of Portugal is clever with the brush and has been awarded several medals for his pictures at exhibitions. As a rule, however, he works in pastel, and thus spends many a leisure day sketching favorite spots along the coast

MERELY AN EYE WASH.

Ths Chemical View of Tear* Differ! From the Poetical View. "Tears have their functional duty to accomplish, like every other fluid of the body, and the lachrymal gland is not placed behind the eye simply to fill space or to give expression to emotion. The chemical properties of tears con» sist of phosphate of lime and soda, making them very salty, but never bitter. Their action on the eye is very beneficial, and here consists their prescribed duty of the body, washing thoroughly that sensitive organ, which allows no foreign fluid to do the same work. Nothing cleanses the eye like a good, salty shower bath, and medical art has followed nature’s law in this respect, advocating the invigorating solution for any distressed condition of the optics. Tears do not weaken the sight, but Improve it They act as a tonic on the muscular vision, keeping the eye soft and limpid, and it will be noticed that women in whose eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly have brighter, tenderer orbs than others. When the pupils are hard and cold, the world attributes it to one’s disposition, which is a mere figure of speech Implying the lack of balmy tears, that are to the cornea what salve is to the skin or nourishment to the blood. The reason Some weep more easily than others and all more readily than the sterner sex has not its difference in the strength of the tear gland, but in the possession of a more delicate nerve system. The nerve fibres about the glands vibrate more easily, causing a downpour from the watery sac. Men are not nearly so sensitive to emotion; their sympathetic nature—that term is used in a medical sense—is less developed, and tne eye gland is, therefore, protected from shocks. Consequently, a man should thank the formation of his nerve nature when he contemptuously scorns tears as a woman’s practice. Between man and monkey there is this essential difference of tears. An ape cannot weep, not so much because its emotional powers are undeveloped, as the fact that the lachrymal gland was omitted in his optical make-up. Dletlc and Hygienic Gazette.

Thoreau’s Sensitiveness to Nature.

Thoreau’s stoic virtues withal never dulled his sense of awe, and his long years of observation never lessened his feeling of strangeness in the presence of solitary nature, says Paul Elmer More in the Atlantic. If at times his writing descends into the cataloguing style of the ordinary naturalist, yet the old tradition of wonder was too strong In him to be more than temporarily obscured. Unfortunately his occasional faults have become in some of his recent imitators the staple of their talent; but Thoreau was pre-em-inently the poet and philosopher of his school, and I cannot do better than close these desultory notes with the quotation of a passage which seems to me to convey most vividly his sensitiveness to the solemn mystery of the deep forest “We heard,” he writes in his Obesuncook, “come faintly echoing, or creeping from afar, through the moss-clad aisles, a dull, dry, rushing sound, with a solid core to It yet as If half smothered under the grasp of the luxuriant and funguslike forest like the shutting of a door in some distant entry of the damp and shaggy wilderness. If we had not been there, no mortal had heard it When we asked Joe (the Indian guide) in a whisper what It was, he answered: Tree fall”’

Flower Carriage For McKinley.

The carriage in which the President rode during the parade of flowers in Los Angeles was one of the most handsomely decorated vehicles in the procession. The decorations were white, with here and there a touch of yellow lending color to the beautiful display. Drawn by four white horses, it made a striking figure. The body of the carriage was solid white, save for a yellow effect about the sent of the driver, where yellow marguerites were arranged tastefully. The robe was of yellow satin. The wheels were disks of white carnations, centred by a few of the yello w-colored blooms. Inside the carriage was trimmed in yellow. Carnations were used exclusively in securing the white effect on the carriage. The white was set off by the green of smllax and asparagus.' The harness of the horses was drapped in yellow satin, and bouquets of white carnations and yellow bows of satin ribbon were placed on here ana there. Ten thousand white carnations were used In decorating the carriage. Four outriders, dressed in Spanish costume, emblematic of the early days of California, attended It; each of the outriders wore a yellow satin cap, and carried a white carnation.—Los Angeles Times.

The young person drew himself op to his full height “I have," he cried, "an unsullied character, an ardent heart a versatile mind, and strenuous biceps.” •The young girl yawned and seemed Interested.

"NIAGARA TO THE,SEA.”

To ths uninitiated this may seem rathe? vague, but should anyone be desirous of knowing something of the beauties of the most wonderful scenic trip on the continent, if they will write to the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company of Montreal, that company will be most pleased to forward them illustrated booklet and folders descriptive of the trip, which embraces a sail on their steamers through Lake Ontario thence to the St. Lawrence river through the picturesque scenery of the 1,000 Islands (America's Venlte), the exciting descent of the marvelous rapids to Montreal, where connection is made with the Richelieu Company’s palatial steamers for K trip to quaint old Quebec. After a night’s sail and on the approach to Quebec in the morning, a magnificent panorama may b-* seen by the tourist from the decks of the steamers. The rugged and steep cliffs, made famous by General Wolfe’s historic climb during the struggle between France and Britain for the possession of the key to Canada first comes into view, and at the very pinnacle of these cliffs the antique, but majestic forts crown the heights, then as the steamer approaches the landing, many quaint and curious buildings fairly reveling in historic association are to be seen. On landing at Quebec transfer is Immediately made for trip down the lower St. Lawrence to Murray Bay and Tadousac, at which point two magnificent hotels have been erected for the convenience and comfort of the American tourists, these hotels are owned and operated by the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company and are luxurious in all their appointments and are very popular with tourists from all parts of United States and Canada. The steamer then proceeds up • tne famous Saguenay river, whose magnificent capes amongst which are "Trinity” and ‘‘Eternity” together with falls, mountains, etc., and peculiar atmosphere (which is a combination of mountain and sea air) for the restoration of health has no equal, make this one of the most delightful trips within the reach of the tourist on this continent. On the return journqy one may have the pleasure of exploring the many interesting places in the cities of Quebec and Montreal before returning to their homes.

Mark Bennltt.

A banquet at the University Club in Buffalo, given in honor of Mark Bennitt, chief of the bureau of publicity of the Pan-American Exposition, was a fitting tribute to the genius of the man who has so successfully exploited the merits of the exposition. Mr. Bennltt stands foremost among newspaper men in the United States today, having within the past year proved his masterly grasp "of the requirements of such an Important position. He not only knows what material is required, but he knows how to get it and where and when to send it. His work is known and appreciated by every editor in the United States and Canada. He brought to the exposition an experience of twenty years in every branch of newspaper work, reaching all the way from the Crossroads Weekly, to the Metropolitan Dally. He possesses not only ability to do things himself but the still more necessary qualifications of being able to select a capable staff and to Inspire the members thereof with his own zeal.
