A. Creation That Might Be Called the.
Illuminated Mushroom.
No longer are we content to put our
light altogether under a shade.
We still put it under a shade, to be'
!sure, the handsomer the shade the bet -
tea we like it, but if our whole desire
iu the matter of lighting be fulfilled we
jalso have an incandescent hidden away
in the standard !
Such a lamp, at a little distance, looks
to be a mushroom, 15 inches or more
'across, with a shapely stem a yard in
'height. The whole thing, save the top
of the standard and the tripod which
supports the shade is rich French glass
in pale onyx tones, though there is spar-
ing decoration of rich dull red. The
small amount of metal used is of an-
tique bronze, the dull greenness exploit-
ing the soft shades of the glass to the
greatest advantage.
In spite of all this splendor of color
and from the detail which holds the aver-
age eye in the manner of lighting. Up
under the mushroom shade are tucked
away three incandeseeuts, while more are
concealed in the stem of the mushroom,
or in the standard, to be plain. This sets
the while. thing aglow, and adds to the
oddity of an already exceptionally un-
usual piece, as well as to the light -pro-
ducing power. Lighting grows more in-
teresting every reason, and incandes-
cents gleam forth from every possible
device. We have found thein in the eyes
of a bronze cat, in beautiful glass flow-
ers, in realistic cat -tails, and now in a
mushroom. It would not seem that the
future held any great surprises in light-
ing, though no doubt at this moment the
designers are busy thinking out novel-
ties equally surprising.

Elephants and the Plague.
'Human beings are not alone in suffer-
ing from plague in milia, says the Lon-
don Mail. The disease has been so bad
of late in the Mysore' State, where it is
reported, writes our Simla correspond-
ent, that one of the palace elephants
has succumbed after developing what
--seemed to be the typical plague swell-
:ings.
A Mysore correspondent writes to a
'Bombay paper that elepbants. and deer
•are also •dying in the Heggaddevankot
'forests of what is believed, locally, to
he nothing else than the plague, which
fans been prevalent among the human in-
habitants of some of the villages in the

Why He Swam to Shore.
King Victor recently started on a,
cruise in the royal yacht, and all went
well until one afternoon,, when the news
reached him that his wife had given
birth to a child.
"Put in to shore," he said to the
captain. "for I must go to Her Majesty
at once."
Unfortunately a storm was raging
and it was impossible to bring the yacht
to land. The King, however, would not
be thwarted in his design, and without a
word he threw off his coat, sprang over-
board and swam ashore. A few hours
later he was in the royal palace, and
next morning all Italy was talking about
his daring feat.

TO FIGHT CONSUMPTION.
Good Houses, Good Air and Good Exer-
cise Necessary.
While tuberculosis is spread through
infection, it must be remembered that
its predisposing cause is in the body it-
self. If one could get rid of narrow
chests and bring up children in healthy
surroundings, we should resist the sourc-
es of infection more succesfully, what-
ever they are. We are all in danger
from bacilli, but we do not all get con-
sumption, because many of us have con-
stitutions with a sufficient power of re-'
sistanee. Good houses, good air, good ex-
ercise must be brought to the help of
weak constitutions; and they are also
necessary if we are to have strong con-'
stitutions and the weak are to be elim-
inated. By so much hygiene as we have
already practiced, and before any special
precautions began to be taken about con- '
sumption the mortality from it has de-
creased, since I850-5 by 53 per cent. It
is probably still decreasing steadily,
though it accounts for a tenth of the
annual mortality, if all the forms of tu-
berculosis that appear in the registrar
General's report are reckoned. Bronchitis
and pneumonia are more familiar than
phthisis. In the army the death rate
from tuberculosis has been reduced from
12 to 1.2 per 1,000 per annum since the
Crimean War. It is a well, known story
how a commission reported that con-
sumption was much more prevalent in
the line regiments, where each man in
barracks had only 350 cubic feet of space,
than in the Guards, where each man had
500, and how the death rate began to
fall when the barracks became more fit
to live in.—Phil. Ledger.

Mr Chester Loomis Took Dodd's
Kidney Pills
And from a Used up Alan he Became
as Smart as a Boy.
Orland, Ont., Sept. 19,—(Special).—
Mr. Chester Loomis, an o]d and respecter;,
farmer living in this section, is spread-
ing broadcast the good news that Dodd's
Kidney Pills are a sure cure for the
Lame Back and Kidney Disease so com-
mon among old people. Mr. Loomis says:
"I am 70 years of age and smart and
active as a boy and I give Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills all thes credit for it.
"Before I started to use Dodd's Kid-
ney P lis I was so used up I could hard-
Iy ride in a buggy, and I could not do
any work of any kind. Every body
thought I would not live long. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are a wonderful remedy.
The Kidneys of the young may be
wrong but the Kidneys of the old must
be wrong. Dodd's Kidney Pills make all
wrong Kidneys right. That is why they
are the old folks' greatest friend.
How to Fight Drunkenness.
How is this scourge to be checked?
What is the best way of dealing with
it? To consider these questions a great
gonvocation of the W. C. T. U. is now
called in St. Louis.
As with' all reforms carried on by wo-
men, there is a certain amount of senti-
ment involved in the work of this vast
organization, which now extends into
every country on the globe. It was
founded to carry out the wish of a dy-
ing child, and every woman in it, :prob-
ably, has been hurt 1.4 the evil which it
combats. It is quite natural that their
appeals should be emotional
Here, it seems to us, has been the
great mistake in dealing with intemper-
ance. It is a disease, not a sin. This
boy comes into the world with the ten-
dency to alcoholism in his body; that
with the tendency to tuberculosis. The
last is promptly given the air, the food,
the medical treatment which will help
hi nito resist the disease; the other, on
the appearance of its first symptoms, is
given tears and prayers and emotional
excitement, which tend to make him a
more easy victim.
There is no doubt a moral obliquity
in the lad. who deliberately chooses to be-
come a sot, but nine times out of ten
it is a diseased liver or nerve or brain
that drives him to the choice. If the
mother or wife who watches his ruin
would treat his failing as disease and
put him in charge of a skilful physician,
she would help to put an end to the
drunkenness far sooner than by any pas-
sionate hymns or fluttering ribbons or
despairing appeals .to the lawmakers or
to God. It is doubtful if the law ever
kept temperate a man with a craving
for drink, and God. helps those who help
theinselves by rational remedies, wheth-
er their ailment be alcoholism or

Rarest Bird in the World.
A certain kind of pheasant found in
the mountains between Anam and Loas
is said to be the rarest bird in existence.
For a long time its existence was known
only by the fact that its longest and
most splendid plume was much sought
after by the mandarins for their head-
gear. A single skin is worth $500, and
if the bird would live in captivity its
value would be fabulous.

Japs Carry Fans in Battle.
The cool and deliberate actions of the
Japanese may in part be due to the fans
they carry, writes Correspondent Palmer
in CoIlyer's Weekly. After describing
a fierce morning battle Mr. Palmer tells
of their' use of fans as follows: "Some.
infantry reserves nearby were fanning
themselves. To a Russian who had not
tasted their fire these "Makaki" might
have seemed quite effiminate.
" The fans which the little men use to
cool themselves in the march are pres-
ents from the Emperor. On them is in-
scribed, in the handwriting of the com-
mander-in-chief of the army, Marquis
Oyama, the words: `Do your best for
your country.'
"On a hot day a fan may beat up a
breeze in front of a soldier's nose which
will save him from succumbing."

How to Hear Plants Grow,
Two Germans have, discovered a meth-
od by which they can hear plants grow.
In the aparatus the• growing plant is
connected with a disc, having in its cen-
tre an indicator which' moves visibly and
regularly and this on a seale fifty times
magnified denotes the progress' in
growth, Both disc and indicator are
metal, and when brought in contact with
an electric hammer, the electric Current
being interrupted at each of the divided
interstices of the disc, the growth of the
plant is as perceptible to the, ear as to
the eye.
CAPTURING WIDOWERS.
Matrimonally Inclined Women .Prefer
Man Already Broken. In.
One of the puzzles afforded by the mat-
rimonial markets is the•preforence of widow-
ers for spinsters and the indifference of wi-
dows to bachelors. Statistics, manipulated by
an expert ;statistician, prove that this parti-
ality and prejudice exist, They show that in
a the breach period

estic arrangements by

purpose, That left many of the widows un-
provided for, and, although on their own tes-
timony, n'tost of the widows would have pre-
ferred consoling themselves with widowers,

chose second part-
ners from the
Having thus marshaled his figures, the
statistician proceeds to the inevitable deduc-
tions, He expounds theories purporting to
account for the predilectiou of the sexes
when choosing a helpmate for the second,
third, or fourth time. Several explanations
are advanced. The thoughtless herd who
have neither statistics nor theories of their
own may take their choice.
To start with, the statistician mainains
that a man who has suffred conjugal be-
reavement is more anxious to repair his loss
than a woman similarly afflicted. Indeed, so
enamored is he of the matrimonial state
that he is willing to give it several trials if
necessary, and each time, if left to his own
inclinations, he will choose a spinster. This
the statistician partly accounts for on the
ground that the female population exceeds
the male; hence each man who is entitled
by law to more than one wife is required by
chivalry to assist as many women as possi-
ble into their true sphere of home -maker.
In case some hard-headed pessimist should
regret that philanthropic view as too vision-
ary for his strenuous age, he offers another
more practical suggestion. Every man likes
to be boss in his own home. Having learned
from experience that he is likely to bo de-
posed as soon as the female member of the
team learns the knack of managing the
reins, he prefers at each new venture to
set out with a partner who is as yet unini-
tiated, so that he may enjoy at least a
month or so of lording it before she finds
out her power.
Possibly each of these hypothesis will have
its adherents. Either or neither may be cor-
rect, but it is unquestionably it fact that
Mr. Pickwick himself never more strenuously
opposed the threatened entanglement with
Mrs. Barden than does the average widower
the blandishments of a bereaved representa-
tive of the opposite sex. Fortunately, how-
ever, their resistance is unavailing. Widows
are shrewd. A man who has once shown
himself amenable to discipline can be dis-
ciplined again. Widows know that. They
infinitely prefer taking up a man's educa-
tion where somebody else has left it off to
training a new consort from the kindergarten
stage on up; heuce in spite of their resistance
several thousands of protesting widowers
are captured annually.—Exchange.
A Curious Fan Clock.
A remarkable timepiece is a clock fan
manufactured by a Swiss jeweler. The
clock consists of 12 leaves hinged like an
ordinary fan. The number of the hour
is marked from 1 to 12. at the eed of
each of these leaves. The fan time-
piece starts at 6 o'clock and expands
regularly for 12 hours, when it suddenly
closes up and starts all over again. The
half-hour is indicated by the leaf of the
fan being only half extended.

A VICIOUS THEORY.
These schools are designed to devolve
on the state the care of the young,or the
socialistic theory that 'the state is wiser,
better and kinder than the parent. The
idea appears to be that the state is a
colossal person, with an intelligence, wis-
dom and conscience as superior to those
of the parent as .the population of the
state is superior to him numericaly, The
state is viewed as the collective virtue
and intelligence of the entire community,
and the natural parent of every child in-
cluded in it.
This theory is as wrong as it could be.
in she meanwhile this sort of school is
educating the people faster than it is ed-
ucating the pupils, and' its teachings are
of the most pernicious character. These
teachings are gummed up in Mat words
paternalism and socialism. The parental
school is a part of the general idea that
the stake is soon to do everything for
everybody, even to 4.ihe bringing up of
Ids children. The family end the individ-
ual, according to this plan, are to be
nothing except beneficiaries of the state.
