The. Hotel Life More Popular Than Formerly. In spite of the proverbial Anglo-Saxon love Of privacle London rapidlyebes coming a city of hotels. There are few, if any, cities in Europe as well supplied as London with facili- ties for living away from home, At the present inoment there _ale six first-class hotels either being built or about to be built in London. Each of them will be a palace of luxury., The new Ritz .Hotel is rising on the site of the bid alealsingham House, The Piccadilly Hotel will occupy the present position of the Saint James Hotel, and restaurant, A new and enleaged Gaiety', Hotel has risen from the ashes of the old one, and. will soon be opened; and close by there will be a London Wal- dorf-Astoria. • In addition to these, two othermag- nificent hotels have been planned, but the positions they will occupy cannot yet be made public. Twenty years ago the first-class hotels of London eould have been counted. on the fingers of one's hand, and "first ease" in those days had. not the signifi- cance it 'hes to -day. Even ten years ago more than 30 well- known London hotels of the present day were not in existence. Among them are the following: Carlton Hotel, Hotel CeeilaHotel Rus- sell, Hyde Park Hotel, Sault Endres Hotel, Cie -ledge's Hotel, Coburg Hotel, Hotel Great Central, Gaiety Hotel, Savoy (Extension), Royal Court Hotel, Clifton Hotel, Cosmo Hotel, Bucking- ham Hotel, Hotel Tudor, Hotel York, Hotel Howled. In addition. to these, scores of temperance hotels, boarding. houses and restaurants have been open, ea in „every .corner of the metropolis, all generation ago. t ng "Moreover, the _city bred, 'child is bigger, brainier and better thin the coun- try -bred child, considered from the, sante viewpoint. -• 'Small families are the rule among Americans of several generations' nativ- ity in the New' England States. As one gees westward the families decrease in size. But in the middle west and on the Pacific slope the 'American" families are good. to look upon, from the coldly scien- tific viewpoint. The young men and women of the middle and. far west are bigger, taller, stronger and finer in evrey way than their grandparents were. "The modern eAmericatt' parent would rather have fewer children and have them sturdy, athletic progeny, well edu- cated, than more or less well cared for children. Many reasons may be advanced his coming to this conclusion. "As one descends in the intellectual scale one becomes more animate. Among the ignorant and shiftless the responsi- bilities of parentage are nil, end the progeny are plentiful, As a people grow in culture they realize what the respon- sibilities of parentage are. Life is more precious, and modern hygiene goes far to prolong and improve the race. "The luxuries of this generation are necessities of the next generation. The struggle for wealth to enable one tat have more luxuries means smaller fam- ilies. The average American parent wants his boys and girls to have the best education possible, to have good clothes to w ear and good things to eat. He would rather have two or three ehil- dren, and have them ell it credit to lihn, and to themselves, than have half a dozen for whom he could not pyovide all the comforts, even luxuries, that he can provide for a smaller nutnber." "Is not the proportionate number of college bred men and women constantly increasing, notwithstamling the decrease In the size of the average American fam- ily ?" "Yes, the statistics show that and aim the number of pupils in the ntilitary schools, the high sehools ad the acad- emies is constantly increasing in faster ratio even than the population, too."

Francis (look, head a Messrs. ThoeUie Cook 4 Son, an encyclopedia of contin- ental and foreign hotels and peoples, gave an N?tprese representative yeetere day his opinion of the causes of this. rapid increase, "London is becoming. recognised as one of the world's cities of pleasure," said Mr. Cook. "Among Amerleans, at least, Paris is losing its reputation. Ten or twelve yezu•s ago Americans almost invariably went to Paris. Now a con- eidembly larger proportion prefer to visit London. "The splendid hotel accommodation to be eound here is partly the result of tide invasion and partly responsible for it. "There is no doubt that London can now hold its own, against any city in the world in this respect, anal when the new hotels are finished it will lead the world. Yet, a dozen years ago, it had the re- proach of being one of the worst places in the world to stay in -and aleserved the reputation." 11. Pruger, the manager of the Savoy, who has been aptly called "the map - clan of luxury," considers that people are becoming more civilized and conse- quently more luxurious. Mr. Pruger believes that the desire for luxury is the strongest natural instinct. "Hotels' make customers," he said. "Customers do not make hetels. You must not wait for your public before you build. your hotel. Build your hotel and your public will soon come, provided you build the right hotel." Mr, Pruger thinks that London hotel accommodation is already the best in the world. -London Express. ; ST. VITUS. DANCE. Nervous Trouble that Yields Readily to Dr. Williams' Pink rills. St. Vitus dance is a cciMmon disease among children, but it often ateacks both nien and women of nervous tempera- ment. Its symptoms are shaky hands, jerky arms, trembling legs, *twitching muscles; sometimes the power of speech is affected. The only curelies in plenty of blood because good blood. is the life- blood of the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills never fail to sure St. Vitus deuce, because they make the rich, red blood that feeds the nerves and keeps them strong and steady, Mrs. Wm. Levellie, Welland, Ont., was seriously afflicted with St. Vitus dance, and. no treatment helped her until she began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pine. Mrs. Levellie says: "At times the trouble was so severe that I could not take a drink of water un- aided, and could net trust myself to raise a dish, That was a constant in- voluntary motion of the limbs, and at times I could neither mkt, walk•ndr talk. I 'grew, pale- and emaciated, and my life was fairly a burden. Doctors' treatment, which I was tailing almost continuously, did , not do me a particle of good 'and I had almost come to the conclusion that there was no cure for me. I was in what must be considered a desperate con- dition when I was advised to try Dr. ' Williams' Pink Pills. In the coupe of a few weeks after I had begun their use, there was a marked improvement in my k condition, and by the time I had taken; nine boxes every symptom of the trouble had disappeared, and I was as healthy and active as in girlhood." It is because Dr. Williams' Pink Pills go right down to the root of the trou- ble in the blood that they cure emit dis- eases as St. Vitup dance, neuralgia, ner- vous prostration, anaemia, backaches and headaches, rheumatism, kidney trouble,' indigestion, lung teoubles and other dm- I . eases of the blood and nerves.

A GERMAN WEDDINGS: . • • Civil FunCtion Precedes the Religious* Ceremony. Those who -have never been to a, wed- ding in Germany have missed seeing one of the most characteristic end instruc- tive phases of German social or domestic life. The Germans are really at their best when they are frankly only think- ing of their own happiness and that of their more immediate personal friends, and the wedding .is an occasion which gives full scope for the display of that thoroughly simple and bonafide love of home which is really the typical Ger- ' Man's strong point. But to describe the ceremony. Some pert of the festivities may be said to commence the day before the -actual mar- riage. The presents are generally re- ceived then, and formal visits of con- gratulation take plate. There is a hear - duces about these proceedings which is very noteworthy. In the evening the relations of the bride and bridegroom, elect dine together en famille, and next day comes the. wedding. 'In Germany, as - in most continental countries, a.civil function precedes reii. gioute ceremony; but it is to the 'church service that the wedding guests are ask- ed, and to the "Hochzeitsfeier" that fol- lows, and is most frequently given at a hotel, in rooms specialty devoted to such purposes. The hour fixed, for the cere- rnony is three o'clock, and to find one- self attired. at that time of day in full dinner toilet recalls the days of Victorian drawing rooms, already things of past .history. If you have not a carriage of your men it is well to be cautious as to' the vehicle which you engage. The Ger- mah equivalent for a fly proprietor, if left to himself, will mark his sense of the festive nature of the occasion by providing something gorgeous beyond be- lief; the panels, lamps and sometimes even the windows of his carriages being adorned with coronets, the spokes of the wheels very likely gilt, and the meld= dressed in a livery receding the city or London on Lord Mayor's Day. You can obtain something a good deal quieter if you take SOMO little trouble in the mat- ter, but your motive is not the least understood. At about three o'clock you fit:e re- ceivecl at, the church door, either by the bride's father and inother-which I think is a pretty custom -or by genie other member of the family, after which you are shown to your plate, anaein due course the service eonitnenees. It may be admitted at once that this is not par- tieularly nnpressive, the whole ritual having in Reformittion times been so Mu- tilated, out of deference to popular mitt - Famish sentimeht, that there is really hardly anything left. If the teremorty should take place in the "Reformed" Lu- theran Churele as it very often dm, there is still less of anything cakiitlated to appeal to one's reltgioite emotions.

If we are duly vigorous they will probably wear off; if not, thee, if we do nothing, if we let them ruu on, they may lead to something worse — chronic bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia. We "catch cold' because there is something wrong with our system. Climatic conditions are largely responsible, but there age other factors. Microbes of some sort are at the bottont of the trouble. We are al- ways exposed to these niore or less, but if the sygem is in proper condition it resists their attacks. As the autumn advances, street watering ceases, the dust blows in clouds, and there Is less sunlight to kill the microbes that the dust carries.

THRIVE ON A YOLK DIET. Regimen Advised by a New York Dexter in Treating the Underfed. In the treatment of the underied Dr. Heinrich Stern, of New York, has ad- opted what he calls the "yolk cure," and which he says as a dietary regimen ex- hibits all the adwoitages of a nutriment of the first order without its usual draw- backs. Dr. Stern says : "The 'yolk cure' as a etactary regimen in whielt the greater portion of calories (heat units) is yielded by the yolk of the lien's egg and in which the lotto forms the only fatty hubstance. Besides the rigid 'yolk cure' we may speak of 'noel - lied forms of the same, modified yolk cure is one in which there is either (a) not a succession of yolk days, that is, when days on which yolks do not pre- ponderate in the diet are inserted, or (b) when the yolks, although contained in the diet to a certain extent, do not fur- nish the bulk of the calories. "In a majority of instances a modified 'yolk cure' will be found to offer certain advantages over the strict regimen when the patient's alimentary. tract is in good condition or after the patient has start- ed. to gain in body weight. "Moreover, the 'yolk eure' modified according to individual needs and. de- sires and remodified front time to time itt ecordance with the changed condi - Hone for many months and even for years. "The yolk of the hen's egg in the rew or half raw date is readily digested.

The greatest profits are made by putting our eggs, onr broil- ers and our fatted chickens for the lime or export trade upon the market when supplies are scarcest and pricee highest. If an incubator le to be purchaetati, it should be orderea early, as there are apt to be vexatious delays in shipment and delivery, and it is always advisable that the operator has an opportunity to rua the machine for a few days before the eggs are placed in it, or until the regu- lation is understood and. the tempera- ture of the egg chamber can be main- tained at 102a degrees le The incubator should be placed in a well -ventilated r00111, preferably one unheated. The chicks developing in the shells require an abundance of fresh air. A bright airy cellar or a well -ventilated. roam hav- ing an even temperature is the best place . The ventilation should be so ar- --sensed that there will be outside air en- ternig the TO9M at all times but with- out a direct draught blowing on the machine. Finally, let me repeat the advice to follow implicitly the directions that am comp.any the machine. Study carefully the oastruotions regarding the care of the lamp and the control of temperature, the turning, cooling and testing of the eggs, and all other details. Then, when -hatching commences let the machine alone, ft is too late to rectify mistakes in management and interference can only injure the batch. The chicks should be left inethe machine until they are thor- oughly dry and should not be fed the first day. 'When feeding commences be careful to feed sparingly. More small chicks are killed by over -feeding than by under -feeding. W. A.

"Yolks are well assimilated and are well borne and liked in lmost any am- ount by almost every individual. This can, not be aeid of any of the fatty in- gesta. Suet, lard, and tallow are not well tolerated by the ordinary stom- ach in large antounts, and certainly not in quantities that yield the bulk of the necessary heat units. Furtherrathe, the yolk of the hen's egg is an efficient sti- mulator of gastric secretion and may he looked upon in certain respects as a di- gestant. "That lecith'n is. contained in the yolks is a fact too well known to receive at- tention on this occasion. The ingestion of yolks, hence, may tend to the restora- tion of nerve force and the amelioration of the state of subalimentation.

Immense Number of Employees in the ' Civil Service. The Government of the United States requires an immense army of men to do its routine work, and neither in salary nor prospect of betterment does our civil service offer much to the ambitious ' young person of either sex. What is de- nominated as the executive civil service is construed to comprise all persons in the employ of the Executive Department of the Federal Government, except en- listed men in the military and naval brandies, and the total number is given at 271,169. This civil service host le larger than any armies the Government ever employed in actual war except dur- ing the period of the rebellion. In treat- ing of the civil service the census bureau divides this force into two parts. One, numbering 120,786, comprises largely those who are exempt from civil service examinations. Included in this division are 74,189 postmasters, 10,855 employees at non -free delivery post offices, and 18,- 140 men at navy yards and stations. This classified civil service takes cog- nizance ef 150,383 government employees, including 137,061 moles and 13,322 fe- males. ()f this total, 89,747 are serving in the Post Office Department and 23,053 in the Treasury Depertments Thus it is seen that these two departments enaploy three-fourths of the classified civil ser- vice employees. More than half of all the positions were filled by examine - tions and about one-fourth were brought into the classified service by its exten- sion. The figures do not indicate that appointment to a civil service place in- sures long tenure. Of the total above stated, 33,535 have held their places one year or less, while only 5,979 .hteve held theirs for twenty years or more. There are, however, in the service nineteen per. sons who have held places more than fifty years. Exeluding those who are paid by piecework and fees, as well as those whose employment was for brief periods, the number of persons on the payrolls is stated at 134,056. The number who are paid less than $720 per year is 50,057. Only 1,701 are paid more than $1,000 a year, Continuing the analysis of salaries, we find that 72.7 per cent. of all the classi- fied employees ern salaries receive less than $1,400 per year. The number of male employees who get more than $2,- 500 is LI per eent., and the percentage of females who are paid abOve $1,000 is exactly the same. There are 3,421 of the civil servke army who ate less than twenty years of age, and 101 who are eighty and more. One of the curiosities of the bulletin from which these figures have been obtained is that it states that ten of the persons of leas then twenty years of age have been in the service from five to nine years. Place -holding began very young 'whit some of them. The largest number of employees is shown in the age period between thirty and thirty-nine years. Nine per cent. of those \Ate are eighty years and upwaf I have been in the service less than five years. - Henry McMillen in Leslie's Weekly. • * Mt Impossible Remedy.
