This Is My 50th Birthday

J. ALFRED SPENDER. J. Alfred Spender, editor of the Westminster Gazette, who Is mentioned as a possible successor to James Bryoe as British ambassador at Washington, was born In Bath, England, August 8, 1862, and received his education at Oxford. He was editor of a paper at Hull from 1886 to 1890. He Joined the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette in 1892, but left the same year to Join the editorial staff of the new Westminster Gazette, which now ranks as one of the chief Government organs. The appointment of Mr. Spender to the Washington post would mark an Innovation in British diplomacy, since he has had no training in the diplomatic service. He is, however, considered a clear-sighted politician and thinker from a liberal point of view, and he has a strong personal Influence with many members of the British cabinet.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

Even the World's Most Ancient Book Laments That They Have Fled. A priceless manuscript of eighteen pages, found Id an Egyptian monument and published In facsimile in France about the year 1S47. Is thought to be the oldest book in the world. Procured at Thebes by Prisse l'Arennes and presented by bim to the national library at Paris, it is usually called the "Papyrus Prisse." from tho name of the donor. As the manuscript was found in a monument of the eleventh dynasty, it must be anterior to the shepherd kings and therefore older by many centuries than the time of Moses older even than the date usually assigned to Abraham and so of all existing books It would be the most ancient The words of every page, though believed to have been written 4.000 years ago. are intensely black to this day and in a bold, round hand. By a curious Irony this echo from the very childhood of the world laments the good old times that bad passed away. The author, who was a prince of the royal blood, gives warning to the young and declares that the words of ancient wisdom should be the dally food of children and grown men alike. Humility and obedience he makes to be the foundation of all virtue. Christian Science Monitor.

PATTI STOOD PAT.

The Diva Wouldn't Cut Her Rates, but Suggested an Alternative. Paul once was waited upon at her hotel by a famous minstrel magnate. Colonel J. H. Haverly, whose ambition bad been aroused to secure the diva for a concert tour under his direction. Madame received blm most graciously, and the two began discussing the details. "May I ask your terms for fifty nights. Mme. Patti?" Haverly asked. "For concert or for opera?" the diva asked. i "For concert," Haverly replied. "Four thousand a night, or $200,000 for fifty nights, one-half to be deposited on signing the contract," was Paul's deliberate response. Haverly tried to appear composed, but It was too much of an effort. "Two hundred thousand for fifty nights! Heavens, ma da me. that Is Just four times as much as we pay our president of the United States r he tried. "Well," the dirlne one answered, "why don't you get the president to Ing for you?" Haverly (led. Robert 'Gran In Musical America,

An Ideal Ticket.

Roosevelt and Johnson! Yesterday, amid scenes of indescribable enthusiasm, the progressive people of the United States through their representatives at the Progressive convention in Chicago, nominated two of the most popular men in this country to head their ticket In the fall campaign. These two men are popular because they have the implicit trust of the American people. Roosevelt for seven years served his fellow countrymen in the White House, and he served them honestly, fearlessly and loyally. They know what he is. He has been tried by fire and found thoroughly competent and trustworthy, so they have slated him for another four years tenancy of the executive mansion. Governor Hiram Johnson of California, candidate for vice president. What of him! Johnson is the man who led the people of his state in their remarkable fight against the corrupt railroad ring which controlled that commonwealth. How he mastered the railroads and restored the people to power is one of the most remarkable and interesting achievements in the history of the Golden State. Johnson has all the aggressiveness and enthusiasm of Roosevelt. He is close to the people and their loyal and trustworthy servant. Controller Prendergast in his speech nominating Roosevelt yesterday said the Colonel was more than a citizen he was a national asset. The same may be said of Johnson. The ticket nominated by the Progressives in Chicago is one the northern, southern, eastern and western voters can all rally around and they will follow their fighting leaders to a triumphant victory at the polls next November.

A Suggestion. Not in the spirit of criticism the Palladium asks the city officials if they made a wise move In deciding to hold executive meetings to consider the water works contract proposal, barring representatives of the local newspapers from these meetings? It Is admitted that the water works contract question is one of interest and Importance to every man and woman in this city, of which number some seven or eight thousand are dependent on this paper for their information concerning the framing of the proposal In question. In matters of public importance it is as much the duty of a newspaper to serve the people in the capacity of purveyor of information as it Is the duty of the official representatives of the people to attend to and safeguard the people's interests. The city officials are undoubtedly doing their best to prepare a water works contract proposal which will be a satisfactory one, and executive sessions are to be held so this work can be better accomplished, still the people of Richmond are anxious to follow every step taken in the framing of this most important measure and they look to their newspapers as tho only means of doing this. The Palladium believes that the people should be kept posted on the progress in the water works contract. The people are not asking anything unjust and therefore there should be no reason for carrying on the negotiations behind closed doors. It is a clear cut proposition of the people being in the market for water service and two companies standing ready to make propositions to supply that demand. Why then should it be necessary to have the negotiations clothed in secrecy? We think the city officials will make a serious mistake if they adhere to secret sessions.

The Cheapest is Not Always the Best. At the request of the merchants' section of the organization for an event of some kind which would serve as a trade stimulent, the Commercial Club last week sponsored three productions of Pain's "Last Days of Pompeii," which great spectacle pleased thousands of people, hundreds of whom came from the country districts and neighboring towns. But so far as the club is concerned "The Last Days of Pompeii" was a financial failure, the cold weather resulting in a small attendance the closing night. Some merchants have stated the Pain production was of no material benefit to them except on the last day, Saturday, when the people attracted from outside the city came early in the day. On Thursday and Friday the bulk of the people who came to the city to see the spectacle arrived about the time the business houses were closing. "The Last Days of Pompeii" was produced in Richmond under the auspices of the Commercial Club because a majority of the merchants objected to a revival of the Fall Festival, on account of the large sum required to finance it. Whether the side-tracking of the festival, undoubtedly an expensive undertaking, but which widely advertised Richmond and brought thousands of people to the city and entertained them throughout the day, was a wise move remains for the business men of the city to determine. Every festival had a deficit, so did "The Last Days of Pompeii," and the question remains, which deficit would have been the cheaper in the long run?

A Quick Decision. "nun!" snnrled the railroad editor. "Here's a story that in one place calls a man Brudge and In another place refers to him as Bridge. What do you think of that?" "Merely a question of you or I," remarked the statehouse man flippantly. And the railroad editor, who was Inclined to egotism, decided In favor of Bridge Indianapolis News.

New and NoveT. "I've got a ripping idea for a moving picture film, something absolutely now and novel." "What is it?" asked the excited manager. "Let us have a scene showing a young woman doing the housework while her mother is strumming on tl.;

piano or manicuring her nails." Chicago Record-II era Id.

Heart to Heart Talks. siy EDWIN A. NYE.

PASS IT ON. If a bit of sunshine bits ye After passing of a cloud. When a fit of laughter gits ye An' yer spine is feeling proud. Don't fergit to up an' fling It At a ioul that's feelln' blue. For the minute that ye sling it. It' a boomerang to you. Which is about the best thing Captain Jack Crawford has written. It rings true. Joy comes In the wake of him who dispenses cheer. It is the reflex action of goodness. It comes back many fold. As Crawford says, it is a looni. erang that operates on the minute. It pays to fling it. Flowers grow up in the pathway of him who helps to sweeten some of the world's bitterness and to brighten some of the world's darkness. The principle is the old one that you have what you give away, :ind that what you withhold from giving away you lose. Look you When you find a man who is forever sowing seeds of kindness and smiles of good cheer, one who puts the soft pedal on his miseries and sings out loud on his hallelujahs Follow that man! Follow him and find out how to imbibe kindness, inhale cheerfulness, absorb sunshine and how to dispense it. If you know of a book by anybody, anywhere, that will teach you the secret Buy that book! Learn the secret. Get the how of it into the bones of you and then give out tho smiles of encouragement that set the ripples of gladness and healing into motion. The world needs It. And the liooraernng will give you bigness of spirit. Smile awhile. And while you smile another s.v.ilc. And soon there's miles am! miles of smiles Because you smiled. It is like the pebble dropped into the quiet waters of a pond. The ripples go out and out to the farthest ihore, and "there's miles and miles of smiles" because you smiled. And you are the center of it When you speak the word of grace In season, when you let loose a rift of sunbeam and "fling it at a soul that's feelin' blue" You ate sowing seeds of kindness. And that is the way to grow your own happiness.

TALE OF A NAIL The Queer Way In Which a Crime Was Brought to Light. Dr. John. Donne, the famous English divine and poet, who lived In the reign of James I., was a veritable Sherlock Holmes. One of his famou exploits was as follows: He was walking In the churchyard while a grave was being dug. when the sexton cast up a moldering skull. The doctor idly took it up and in handling it found a headless nail driven into It. This he managed to take out and corneal In his handkerchief. It was evident to him that murder had been done. He questioned the sexton and learned that the skull was probably that of a certain man who was the proprietor of a brandy shop and was a drunkard. lelug found dead in bed one morning after a night lu which he had drunk two quarts of brandy "Had he a wife?" asked the doctor. "Yes." "What character does she bear?" "She bore a very good character, only the neighbors gossiped because she married the day after her husband's funeral. She still lives here." The doctor soon called on the woman. He asked for and received the par ticulars of the death of her husband Suddenly opening bis handkerchief, he showed her the telltale nail, asking In a loud voice, "Madame, do you know thK uall?" The woman was no surprised that she confessed, was tried and executed. London Tit-Bits.

Tho Sacred Bo Tree. On the night of Oct. 7. 1SS7. tho tree worshipers of Ceylon met with an irreparable calamity. During one of the worst storms that ever raped on the island their sacred bo tree was thrown to the ground. The oldest written description of this wonderful tree known

to exist is that by Fa liiatn. a Chinese) historian and traveler, who visited the i

tree la the year 414 A. D. According to the learned Chinaman, it was then 702 years oid. having len planted by King Devlnipiatlssa In the year JS before our era lesan. If the above data be correct, and there is no reason for doubting it. the bo tre was more than 2.175 years old when the storm ended Its career on the date mentioned above.

Sulphur. Sulphur Is a solid, nonmetallle mineral which has been known from ear-" liest ages. It Is hard, yellow and brittle and has a most offensive odor. It Is found In veins or bed, mostly near active volcanoes. Tho imported sulphur generally comes from Solfatla. In Sicily, but large quantities are alw procured from copper and iron pyrites. These minerals are heated, and the sul phur. Wlng volatile, files off la funics. whU h art conveyed by means of pipe to a condensing room.

ART OF JUGGLING.

An Endurance Test. "My daughter says I have a good ear for music." "What does she mean by that?" "I don't know exactly. I'm afraid she refers to the fact that I can listen to some of the things she plays without getting the earache." Washington Star.

A Means of Recreation For the Sedantary or Bedridden. Speaking of conjuring, the allied art of Juggling is one of the most uraus ing and valuable of diversions. esecially to the sedentary. Many physicians become expert in Juggling, but It is to their patients that it is most useful. The bedridden, if they retain the use of their bauds, may beguile many a weary hour in learning to keep three or four tennis balls in the air at once and In balancing sticks and other simple objects on the forefinger or on the cbtn. For the brain worker who does not care for walking there is no better recreation. It has often occurred to us that In cases where there Is any reason to fear some form of paralysis the educating of disused cerebral, cerebellar and spinal centers by the rapid and complex movements required in juggling might serve to act as an efficient preventive. We do not wish to claim too much for manual education of this kind, but we may point out that It tends to perfect nervous poise and that no juggling trick can be properly done if the performer Indulges in dissipation even so mild as beer and cigarettes.

For the Hair: -For dandruff, thin or oily hair and itching scalp, I know of nothing so efficient as powdered betalac compound aromatic, this is to be mixed with one well beaten egg, to form a paste, which is applied to the hair and scalp and then rinsed out with water. This will make your hair fluffy and increase the growth. Dandruff and itching are quickly eliminated. Morris F.:-Paln under the shoulder, shortness of breath after eating, heart palpitation, belching, gas and a heavy feeling in the stomach, are symptoms of chronic indigestion and dyspepsia, for quick relief, get fluid ext. mandrake 3 drs., aromatic fluid cascara 1 oz., compound essence sanacara 1 oz., aromatic syrup rhubarb 4 ozs.

Nervous Woman :-You say that you are a "nervous wreck" and that

life has lost its charm. There are many people in this condition, both men and women, some attribute their condition to dissipation, some to the demands of society and many to indescretions of youth.
