Various reasons .hare been ass signed for the lncresfse In stature and strength of the modern maiden, who has mcjfit certainly grown uncom monly tall and proportionately mus cular during the past few years. It cannot be that out door sports, gym nastic exercises, and so on, have Btretthgd her out and made her as strong S^bhe is, because her! brothers have precisely the Bame advantages and they have not developed at the same rate. It seems to md, there fore, that the secret lies In the fact that of recent years girls have be come far greater consumers of sweet meats than ever were their mothers and grandmothers. Time was when we should never have dreamed of having sweets. on our luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now it would be quite extraordinary were one not to offer these dainties. And, what is more, we are not mere ly content to eat sweetmeats at our meals, but we consume them at all times and In all places between meals. It was recently said that boxes of bonbons play a conspicuous part In modern lovemaklng, ‘‘sweets to the sweet,” being apparently the text by which every young man of the day guides himself through the devious paths of courtship. The great Russian wrestler who Ib shortly to enter again into contest with the Turk, Madrali, tells us that the more sweet stuff one eats the stronger one grows. Sugar is the se cret of strength, he declares.—Lon don World. Indians’ Deadly Foe. “The full blooded Indians of the United States are scarcely holding their own in point of increase of population,” remarked Capt. Downs, special Indian agent of. the United States .Government. “In some of the tribes there Is a slight Increase, but it is among the mixed breeds and not among those of "puie-aboriginal stock. The deadly foe of the fed “Wan-.continues now, as for many years past, to be tuber culosis. “Just why this disease should seem to commit greater ravages among the Indians is difficult to un derstand. At first the theory was that it was due to their changed mode of existence; that the. transi tion from a savage to civilized life made them peculiarly susceptible. I am inclined to think that there is but little basis for this view’, especially as the.number of victims claimed by consumption shows no sign of dimin ution, although many years have elapsed since the Indian forsook the primitive ways of living,- “A more reasonable explanation is found In the present habits of the people. In -building their teepees or log houses they make very scant al lowance for ventilation, and sleep in quarters from which fresh air is largely excluded. BesiVes, a dozen or more individuals will occupy a room that ought not at the most , to contain more than two. Another bad practice of which it is difficult to break them is that of the cOmiaoh pipe. A group of Indians will take turns In smoking the same pipe; and If one of the party be diseased there is always the danger Of its being transmitted.—Washington Post. Lake .Tarns Bed. One of the natural curiosities of Switzerland is Lake Morat, which turns blood red every tenth year. For centuries this freak was re garded by the Swiss with supersti tious dread, and not until scientists turned their attention to the matter was the belief in the supernatural partly removed. Even now some of the more ignorant persist In regard ing the omen as one of evil import. The reddish color la given the wa ter by a minute plant closely re lated to the red snow. Every tenth year this plant begins to propagate, and so quickly does it grow that In a short time the whole lake is a crimson tide. The plant is so minute as not to be perceptible without the aid of a microscope, and there was spme foundation for the early belief that the lake had turned Into a sea of blood. Business of an Empire, An idea of the cost of running a great nation may be gained from the statement that England’s balance sheet for the last fiscal year Bbowi an expenditure of considerably more than three-quarters of a billion dob 1 iars. The exact amount was JISl,- ‘■69,000. To meet this revenues were raised amounting to 8158,?07,- 000, leaving a surplus.on hand of £1,938,000, Qf this vast expenditure £66 ,200,000 went to the army and navy, £924,000 for dispensing Jus tice, and £15,161,000 was spent on education. There is one entry, un der expenditure which , reveals the, magnitude of the empire's business.. It is that for "stationery and print ing,” and shows that three-quarters of a million pounds was expended oh this item alone duping the past year- . —-Leslie’s Weekly. IHumoions.

Patrick Murphy while passing- down Tremont Street, was hit on the head by a brick which fell from a building in process- of construc tion. One of the first things he did, after being taken home and put to bed, was to send for a lawyer. A few days later he received word to call, as his lawyer had settled the ease. He called and received five erisp, new $100 bills. “How much Jid you get?” he asked. “Two thousand dollars,” answered the lawyer. “Two thousand, and you gave me $500? Say, who got hit by that brick, you or me?” To Destroy Moles. Messrs. Editors: Some years ago I had a piece of laud that was uiich iufested by moles. I vir tually-exterminated them as fol. ■oivs: I mixed a proper quantity or ar wuic with corn dough.

Respectfully, \ \ T a : THE DAVIE RECORD. E. H. MORRIS -Editor MOCKSVILLE, N. C. MAY 3, 1906. WHERE CO? This is a terrible araignment of a political party by one of its brainest members. It is worthy of the clos est consideration by every honest man. If he -is a member of that party he should get out of such com pany. If he is out, he should stay out.—Mocksville Courier. The above was clipped from the editorial columns of the Courier. It has reference to what Ex-Judge By num said in his speech at Greens boro with reference to certain Re publicans. It affords our Demo cratic friends great pleasure to use this in trying to hide their own short comings before the people. No in telligent Republieanwill assert that his party has no rascals in it, but that is no reason why men who be lieve in the principles of the Repub lican party should desert it, for in getting out of the Republican party and landing in the Democratic, he will have to brush up against other rascals. The Republican party de sires to rid itself of its rascals, and put only honorable men in charge. Can our Democratic friends say as much? Congress each year appro priates at least $100,000 to detect and punish violators of the Internal Revenue laws, while our Democrat ic friends in legislature assembled repeals laws to prevent the punish ment of its rascals, and appropriates all available cash in the State treas ury to the defence of law violators. If I were a North Carolina Demo crat I would be ashamed to say much along these lines, unless I had the courage and manhood to con demn my own party for its wrong doing. With the history of the past before us, hard times, soup-house and Cleveland panics, we can see no reason why a Republican should leave his party to join hands with a party of opposition and destruction. The principles of the Republican party are good enough, in tire main, and we stand ready to reform the laws in the interest of the people, along lines which will promote peace and prosperity at home. We stand for the protection of IAmeri can laborers, and the building up of American enterprises, and not for the pauper labor of the old world, nor do we believe in turning over the home market to foreign manu facturers. According to the Cour ier’s argument, a church would dis band as soon as one of its members turned hypocrite or did a sinful act. The evil of one man or several don’t make the whole lot bad. writing all are doing well;-and all promise to be good Republicans. FalloHtshiive stood the mild winter very nicely, and are now beginning to head. While the wheat has some flies in it, . it is looking tairly well, and promises a fair stand of fall grown stalks. Cotton planting is about over, and some of it is coming up. The Map of the 27th ult., speoi - ties frost and snow in the west,and freezing temperature as far South as North Carolina. It may not coiue this way, or it iuay modify before it gets here. The report says ■ the Dismal swamp is in a disturbed condition showing sigus of an earthquake. There are many things that seem Io be forebodiugs of the approach ing end. Good people should be better; and bad people should re form; tomortow it may be too late. O bserver.

M ocksvili1E, n. c. may 3, 1906. AN OFFICIOUS POSTMASTER. TheLandmarkisinformed that a postmaster at a small office in Davie county is now, and has been, very officious in opposition to the estab lishment of rural routes in his neigh borhood. The reason for the oppo sition is doubtless a fear that his of fice: will be abolished. This post master has been telling people that the establishment of these routes will increase taxes and that they will have to pay direct taxes for their main tenance. It is not necessary to ex plain to intelligent people that the citizen pays no direct taxes to the na tional government. All taxes for national government are indirect and the average citizen would not' know the difference in national tax ation if there was not a rural route in existence. , The Landmark has mentioned this to say that , the Postoffice Depart ment ought to look after the Davie county postmaster. A postmaster has no business to try to prevent the establishment of rural routes. That is a matter for the Postoffice Depart ment and the people who may want the routes.—Landmark. Yes, there are a lot of these kind ■ of people all over the world. We don’t.know who the Landmark re fers to, but we have an idea who he is, and we know that the above in dictment is true, if he is the one we have in mind.; He has made it a point, to look after our affairs to a certain extent, but has done us no harm. The editor of The Record. has been a strong advocate of Rural Delivery, believing it to be a great thing for our country friends, bu1 we believe in allowing the people tc be served to have the say in the mat ter, and we do not believe that post masters have any right to tryto pre vent the people having what Lhey want. Postmasters shbuid nof make themselves officious in work ing up sentiment against thest routes, nor should they go so far as to misrepresent the facts to the peo ple. It is only a question of time before these small offices will all be discontinued, and some of the Post masters are hastening their-passing. The Republicans of Trego county, Kansas, have adopted what is said tc be the briefest platform ever adopt ed by a political convention in the United States. It is as follows: “Resolved, that we leave well though alone.” • They might have made it even briefer by putting it thu:s “Resolved, That we stand pat.

A gentleman told me only a few days ago that a certain man from New England had been ln the South for some time and while in Wash ington, on his way back home, he met the President, whom he knew, and in his conversation he told the President the Government seemed to have mighty few friends in the South. Such. impressions hurt us, and yet it is not the truth, but such acts as this monument to Wertz makes the North believe it is the truth and we suffer for it at the same. —Exchange. Is it not true that the campaigns waged by the Democrats -all over this country are creating in the minds of the masses, hostility and hatred of our Government? Ithas struck us that way for years. The Democrats of the South revel in de nunciation and hatred of the Gov ernment, and that is the reason such an impression is created on the Northern mind. It’s a grave injus tice to the South, and the dema gogues of the South are responsible for it.. We cannot estimate the damage done this section of this great country of ours by the de signing demegogue. Capital has been driven from us, good people lave passed us by, and have, settled in other sections, by reason of the spirit of hatred manufactured and dealt out for campaign purposes, it is a critical period in our history, md the people—the great common people should set down hard on ;hose who would continue such cam paigns. Let’s have a» change, let’s lave a decent campaigA this year ,waged on high grounds.—“Justice,” in Union Republican. MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS. election »t Beaufort for Graded Schools Declared Void and Another Will be Held. Special to the Observer. Newbem, April 20.—An election was held in the city of Beaufort yes- ierday for the purpose Of making an issessment for the purpose of a jraded school. The proceeding campaign was warm and the election me of the most exciting ever held here. On counting the votes it was iound that more had been deposited ■han there were legal voters in thf ;ity and, although those who are in favor of the assessment won; they lecided to throw the election out 01 iccount ofthe fraud and issue a call for a new election, which will be lone Monday. Themajorityin favor of the tax was 40. We had hopes that such rascality as stuffing ballot boxes in this State was at ah end. Now, while dur Democratic friends are commenting on Republican rascality, let them take a little time to prosecute their awn rascals.. Clean before your own ioors, Mr Democrat. AGAINST THE INTEREST OFTHE SOUTH. The result of the House vote on the Southern fast mail provision in the Postoffice "appropriation bill is gratifying. It would have been dis appointing had it been otherwise, This fast mail is a large convenience to many business men of the South and it is a singular thing that this provision was retained in the bill by the votes of Northern representa tives. If it had been left to those of the South it would have been strick en out by a large majority. Thefact carries its own comment.—Charlotte Observer. It is very unfortunate for the South that she so often depends up on outsidere to do for us what we ougnt to do for ourselves. As the above mentioned instance our Rep resentatives in Congress and some times in the legislatures, actually fight measures which they ought to support. Usually they take such a stand for political reasons and be cause they are forced to do so by the sses. Whenever such papers as the News . and Observer cried out against the appropriation for the fast mail service, it was a foregone conclusion that our Representatives would come in line and oppose it also, which they .have done, and as we believe, much to their discredit. —Union Republican. Sulphur Poison—Something New. IsDt True? Dr: W. A. Simmons was in town a few days ago, and while in conversa tion with him he informed us that he had recently made a discovery that may be. of some value to the public. He says that he. has discovered that sulphur is poisonous to cattle; that two or three table spoonfuls will kill a cow; and that the milk from a 20W which has been given sulphur will poison people. Dr. says that he made this discovery by giving a cow a small amount of sulphur as an ex periment, but thinking that it would Oe good for her. This may not be information to some, but doubtless there are many who have looked up on the use of sulphur in this respect is absolutely harmless, and who will value the .doctor’s discovery as a treasure,—“Our Home.” Y “P AIN T O U R house with LONGMAN & MARTINEZ, “ Pure” Haste Paint.

Third District Announces That He Has Become Convinced That the Democratic Party is Wrong and He Will Hencelorlh Act With the Re- publicans—The Republican Policy He Thinks, the Best for the State and Nation. Following is the letter of Chas. F. Toms, Esq., reigning as State Sena tor and announcing that he will hereafter act with the Republicans. Hendersonville, N. C., April 28, 1906. To His Excellency, Hon. R.B. Glenn, Governor, Raleigh, N. C. Sir:—I have the honor herewith to tender to you my resignation as Sen ator from the thirty-third district of . North Carolina. By so doing it be comes necessary' for me to state to you briefly my reason for this action upon my part and in order that ev erybody may fully understand I make this a public letter. AU my life I have been a Domo- crat, fighting for the success of 'the Democratic party and in this imme diate section of the State have taken quite a hand in political affairs. Up to this time I have never voted for a nominee of the Republican party in my life. I have been twice chairman of the Democratic Executive com mittee in my county. I have been honored by the party both by appointment and election as solicitor in the Criminal Courts and in the election of 1893 I came within le-s than 10 votes on the recount of car rying Henderson county for the Leg islature. In the election of 1904, I was elected Senator to represent the counties of Henderson, Polk, Cleve land and Rutherford. Since I be came a member of that body I have been treated with every courtesy by my Democratic colleagues. I am now a member of a number of im portant Senate committees and am chairman of the committee on Fed eral relations. All this is a matter of pride to me and under no circum stances would I mention it here were it not to show that I am not a “dis gruntled Democrat.” I have' never asked the Democratic party for any thing that I did not receive, and I fully appreciate.the fact that my course in this matter may be criti cised, but when I consider, however, that a rtian would be more than a moral coward, who would think and believe one way, hold this office, and then vote another way, I am impell ed by the highest sense of my duty SB I see it, to make !mown Hiy reas 6ns in the premises. Msmy.. of my best friends in this State are Dento erats and of them I ask only the same consideration for my feelings that they have already accorded to many prominent and some eminent members of the Democratic party , who, in the past belonged to Other political organizations, but win thought it right, and desired' to d its I now conceive it my right ant privilege, and the right and privi iege of every other American citizen to vote as their convictions prompt them to vote. My reasons for joining the Repub licanpartyare many. First afte, much study and mature thought i have arrived at the conclusion tha the principles advocated by the Re publican party are the best, if no! the only principles, upon which tin American people can Safely rely The Democratic party has been ui. able to adopt or give to the peoph one substantial plank upon whieh te stand. It advocated free silver, ant and a great wing of the party advi- cates it yet, while practically tl,t whole balance of the world has re pudiated it as a false standard, ant we are told that even, Mexico, heh up only recently to be the model foe- silver country of Christendom, h, s turned her back upon it, and th< Democratic party as a whole is Ief with the shadow, while the Reput licans hold the substance. Ever conceivable excuse has been advar ced as to why the gold-standard suc ceeded in the combat, but no reaso. or excuke has been advanced whic satisfies me that free silver was d- feated by anything other than tb fact that the great mass of Amert . can people who voted for Mr. Mt Kinley discerned further into tli fiture than many of those who voted for Mr, Bryan. ! The same is- true of free trade. We love to tell about the great num ber of incorporated enterprises and manufaeturies which are fast mak ing North Carolina famous. We are glad to know that these thriving manufaeturies and business enter prises of which we so proudly boast are protected and fostered by State laws to the extent that they are, but I am satisfied that were it not for the protective laws enacted by con gress, many if not all the great man ufacturing plants would cease to ex ist; foreign pauper labor would come in competition with ours, and American laborers who earn their daily bread in th e workshops and factories of the United States-~the most prosperous country on the face of the globe today—would cease to receive the high wages they are now getting and would be placed upon an equal footing with the cheap la bor of Europe. This state of affairs I never want to see. We own the Philippine Islands and I am in favor of keeping them. I will mention only one great and true reason among many sound ones that have been advanced why we should keep them. It is a matter of fact that the destinies of the cotton and cotton manufacturer of the South ern States go hand in hand. The Philippine Islands will form a great market in the East for their manu factured fabrics as will also their ac- juisition be beneficial to us in ex ending our trade relations in tin Orient and along other lines as well. I admire President Roosevelt. I regard him as one of the greatest, most fearless,, purest and best men the United Stfites has ever produced. He is a man who has had the nerve to fearlessly do his duty, as he saw it, upon all occasions, and while he has made mistakes in some instances, he is, in my opinion more deserving if praise than those who have ma Iigrted him are deserving of condetn ration. He will go down in histor' is a great man and a great President. In regard to State politics I wisl to say that I am satisfied we should have a better public school system, lower taxes, and more just election laws, and better equipped asylums, also various other reforms, which I conceive are beyond the power oi the Democratic party to give. Why do I say so? Because, as I see it,the Democratic party has too many boss 's and too little unison. There are 00 many kinds of Democrats. There are free trade Democrats, free silver Democrats, gold standard Demo crats, high tariff Democrats, Bryar' Democrats, Cleveland Democrats, Jefferson Democrats, Roosevell Democrats, prohibition Democrats, and anti-prohibition Democrats, im perialism Democrats, anti imperial- Detnoerats, and I was only recently talking w ith an old man in my coun ty who gravely i-rorm d me t at he was an ‘‘Abe Lincoln De noerat.” In fact, to tell the truth, there has nev er been so much confusion since the building of the tower of Babel as ex ists today in the Democratic pa ,ty, and how the people of North Caro lina can ever expect any relief from or reforms at the hands of the party owing to the present state of affairs, is incomprehensible to me. The negro vote, which a few years ago, was credited to the Republican party in North Carolina has been eliminated and that party stands to day in this State as a white man’s party, and is indeed as white as any party, and no man can say that it is otherwise and tell the truth. Another thing that I have noticed particularly, and that is, the Repub lican party as a whole is progressive in all things and looks after the in terests of all classes of our . people. It assists those who need assistance, and gives.relief to those who are in distress. It enacts laws which both benefit the laborer and the capitalist. On the contrary, as I have hereto fore stated, the Democratic party has, in my opinion, advocated only such measures as have, when tried, proven detrimental to the best in terests of the people. In fact the principles of the Democratic party that have heretofore been enacted into law, have proven to be utter failures, and no substitute for dead issues which that party continues to parade before the people, have been offered, and I have no idea that any will be offered. In conclusion let me say -that in leaving the Democratic party I have no harsh words for, nor ill will to wards any one. Many members of that party in this State are unsur passed, either in character or abili- j ty, and it is with these that I regret j to sever my past political affiliations, j and I send you my resignation as State Senator, simply because to do otherwise believing as I- believe and feeling as I feel, would be a violation: of the duty I owe to my constituents, as well as the duty 1 owe, both to the party I am leav ing an thed party I have joined. With the kindest regards to you personally, I beg to remain. Yours- respectfully,. Charles French Toms. MAIL ORDERS FILLED SAME DAY.

A QUITTER. State Senator Charles I'. Toms Esq., of Hendersonville. N. C., has sent to Goveanor R. B. Glenn Viis resignation as Democratic represen tative of the people and declares his intention to affiliate hereafter with the Republican party. Reasonsfor such motives are a I ways in order, but when we consider the reasons expressed, we find the principal reason back of it purerile and are lead to believe that a hope of reward for the future is actually and altogether the motive. A quitter: Aslong as the man lives, this approbium will be applied to him. A quitter for no other rea son on the face of the earth than that he, individually, may profit, Roosevelt will dispise him and every other man in the northern and Southern States. He is a politician without brains, a man who would drink and feed his family at the public trough regardless of being a contributor. When he says that reflection has led him to do as he does, he is a craven liar. He wants Pap. He is infinitely too lazy to read and judge for himself. He was born tired lazy and is a traitor to the constituency that has honored him. Democracy has just now all the argument on its side, and even Pris- ident Roosevelt is showing his ap preciation of Democratic principles and for such a man as this, a half nonentity, to get into the newspa pers and pose before the State as somebody, is simply rediculous. Had he been sure of his election by Democrats in the approaching campaign, this letter would never have been written.—Winston Jour nal. Whoopee ! Whoopee ! ! how the Tilmauite do abuse folks, fur ex ercising one of the great privileges and rights of an American citizen. “ Craven liar,’” is pretty strong language, but the distance between the two makes it safe. From the language of this ginut, one would suppose that when he speaks, the. earth trembles, when he walks in the forest, the beasts ot the field flee to the jungles, when he takes up the pen to write, electricity plays npou the pen ‘‘pint,” ami death and destruction goes forth. Why my dear sir, do thyself no harm, possess your soul iu pa tience; some of the greatest states men and divines have changed their beliefs when ihey thought it best and their duty to do so. It matters not what you opiuion may be, or how vile your denunciations, men will continue to change, aud they should change when the are convinced it’s best lor themselves and their conutry. There is uo ar gument in abuse, and the use ol such language shows that the wri ter is a Burbon aud an intolerant bigot. W liym ydear sir, if you' loose your temper and “spile? your countenance every time some, one leaves the Democratic party, you had better make a contiact with some one to repair the wreck, for it’s inevitable. Why sir, just, to show j-ou what is going on, a hold your ear to the ground, and do thyself no harm, for thou aud thy crowd liave been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and are still wanting to fool the people.

NEW TEST FOR TIMBER. Lnmbermen Claim Timber Seasoned In Water Lasts Longer. From a priori reasoning it would he quite natural to suppose that the water would soak out certain of the gummy matters of the wood, espe cially of the sap wood, making ft more easily dried. Moreover, the washing out of the sap from the young wood removes most of the su gars, protelds, etc., which furnish food for the bacteria and other fungi which cause the rotting of lumber. The Bureau of Forestry believes that It Is worth while from a practical point ot view to find out the truth about these Impressions of lumber men and- reasonings of scientists, and is -beginning a series of tests at its new experiment stations in Michi gan and Wisconsin. To make the experiments as practical as possible they will be conducted on telegraph and telephone poles, articles whose period of usefulness Is a matter of much economic importance. The poles will first be soaked In water for varying lengths of time, and then piled and seasoned, careful record Au <>xaniii:ation for Mie Jiosif 10:111 being kept of the time required for o! clC11; Cmaleaiid f'em;ile)and cac rier (male) will lie hi.ld at, the post i>tlice iu talishury, X.

These postage stamps are a decid ed novelty. Issued in Italy, they are reserved for franking the corie- spondence of non-commissioned offi cers and men of the Italian army. There are different stamps for va rious corps and regiments, and con sequently a large number of designs. For instance, on the stamp assigned to one regiment is the portrait of the colonel, on another a representa tion of a court martial and on others views of the cities where particular corps are stationed; while on the stamp specially reserved for tile BersagUeri appear a few notes of music— those of the flrst bar of their famous refrain. None of these stamps will be offered for sale by the au thorities, nor should they be sold by soldiers, and collectors will doubtless experience some difficulty In obtain ing unused specimens.—Westuiia- ster Gazette. fONSUMPTION OUGHS and OLDS Price SOc &$1.00> Frea Trial.

V . SALISBURY, N, C. WALLACE & SONS, — : 0 : - “ 127 & 129 South Main St. The Original of Santa Clans. St. Nicholas iS not only the patron saint of Russia, hut he is greatly honored in the charming little valley in the Salr.kammergut, where the Ischl and the Traun rivers unite. In deed, IschI once went by the name of St. Nikola. This is the season of St. Nicholas, for Santa Claus is a cor ruption of the name introduced into England from America. In the Ischl valley the feast of St. Nicholas is a typical holiday, and at this time for three days there is an assemblage of booths along the Wirerstrasse form ing quite a market. In the shop win dows are seen numerous images and pictures of the benevolent saint and his companion, the Grampus, with his switch and chain— a most for midable and threatening looking ob ject— to scare the hearts of naughty children. The evening before St. Nicholas' Day the good saint and his terrifying companion are actually seen walking about the streets and enter some of the houses. When Ischl was inhabited by the Romans it went by the name of “Iscola,” be cause of the number of fish found there, and some people connect this fact with the legend of St. Nicholas and the fish. The church is dedicated to him, and the interior is beauti fully painted with illustrations from his life by a celebrated Tyrolean painter named Mader. A population of hardy and thrifty peasants inhabit the surrounding country and throng into the town on Sundays and holi days in their picturesque costumes. Ameidcans Residing Abroad. Year by year the number of Ameri cans residing in the chief European cities has been increasing. Two years ago an estimate of the num ber of Americans living in London was made and the number was shown to be 15,000, with 12,000 in Paris. There are according to the last estimates 25,000 Americans residing in London, permanently, 30,000 In Paris, 5,000 each In Rome and Ber lin, 2,500 In Munich, 1,600 in Flor ence and 1,000 in Venice. There are at all times between 100.000 and 150,000 Americans resi dent in European cities, apart from the number of Americans who make a summer trip 'to Europe and come under the designation of either transients or travelers. Most Euro pean countries do not include In the census of inhabitants taken unnat uralized foreigners, and for that rea son the figures, of the number of Americans are not always easy to get. Ten per cent of the population of Paris, exclusive of transients, is made up of foreigners— 250,000 for eigners constantly in PaurfSrof whom 30.000 are Americans. Accent on the Operatic Stage. No Englishman with daughters could do a rasher thing than permit them to take lessons from eminent professors with a view of going on the stage. The opera stage In Eng land scarcely exists. At Covent Gar den a woman who can speak good English can only get In by force of Boclal influence; and abroad a for eigner has very great difficulty be cause she cannot speak or sing with a perfect accent The foreign lady or gentleman comes across here and on occasion will venture to sing in English, and their mistakes bring nothing more than a smile to the faces of the audience. But let an English singer go to France or Ger many and something totally different happens. In 1897 Tamagno sang at Monte Carlo before an audience which was mainly French. He mispronounced a word, and a peal of derisive laugh ter covered his stentorian notes. In Brussels I heard an American tenor laughed at because some of his vowels were not quite pure— Brus sels, where their French is the most villainous patoi3 I have ever heard. In Germany I have heard both French and English artists laughed at because their accent was not ab solutely correct.— Saturday Review. Dnring a Thunderstorm. It Is said that In a thunderstorm the middle of a room is much the safest place in a house. A carpeted floor, or one covered with a thick rug, is better to stand on than bare wood. It is well to keep away from chimneys and out of cellars. In the open air tall trees are dangerous. If lightning strikes In the immediate vicinity it will hit the high trees as a rule, with fgw exceptions. Water is a very good conductor, and it is well therefore to avoid the banks of streams In a thunderstorm. No Kissing In Japan. Japanese mothers and children never kiss one another, and it is said the fact that the women of Japan use cosmetics to such a degree is probably partly responsible for the fact that there is no kissing.
