Dugast was brought up in a more conventional manner, and that European women were not accustomed to sharing their affections with a hundred or more other wives. Forthwith the sultan sought the’ handsome explorer and offered his hand and heart, together with his title, and promised that he would dismiss his harem and marry her in the more conventional way, a la European mode. Mme. Dugast found it more difficult this time to refuse the proposal, but managed to do so without giving offense and jeopardizing her life-work among the tribes. SECURES A STRENUOUS POStH Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson ac cepted the post in Mexico City two years ago because he had become , weary of the inactivity at the Brus sels legation, where the only diplo matic excitement was the wearisome I controversy over the Belgian atroci- I ties in the Congo. President Taft was anxious to have him accept one of the European posts, as fortunately he is rich enough to pay the bills for house rent and hospitality which these ap pointments demand, but he chose Mexico City just for the pleasure of downright hard work and hard fight- ' ing. y And he has certainly obtained it. It ■would be difficult to overestimate the difficulties of his position. The in trigues and cabals against him have been legion, and they have been espe cially strong and bitter among his own countrymen. j Before Mr. Wilson left the Amer ican legation in Brussels for his ap- pointment at Mexico City he was besieged by representatives of different American interests in Mexico, who made overtures to bargain for his influ ence in pushing their enterprises. His mail brought frequent letters inclosing blocks of stock made out in his name, and when they were returned the pro moters promptly sent them back, made out to Mrs. Wilson. It was not until the ambassador had been in Mexico .City several months that his vehement denunciation of these capitalists made them realize finally that he could not be induced to work for them except in a legitimate way. And since that time his path has certainly been a thorny way. ROYAL ROMANCE IS BLIGHTED"] in consequence of this state of affairs, and was required, at the height of the court season, to abstain from further participation in it. It was announced at the time that she was suffering from an “affection of the throat.” As soon as the season ended the kaiser and kaiserin decided to send their daughter to St. Moritz with the crown prince and princess, in the hope that she would forget her troubles amid the 'joys of the Swiss winter sports. This “cure” ;vas apparently not a complete success, because it was found de sirable that the princess should not remain in Germany over the spring with the kaiserin, as originally planned, but should instead sojourn on the Mediter ranean and at Corfu with the kaiser until the end of the season. MIGUEL TO FIGHT FOR MANUEL~| The proposed movement to restore King Manuel of Portugal to the throne from which he was deposed by his people will be one of the most formidable ever prepared against an existing government, according to the man who expects to lead it, Dom Miguel of Braganza. The former pretender, who has en tered into an offensive and defensive agreement with Manuel, discussed his plans freely the other day, only in sisting that such portions as might be of benefit to the Portuguese gov ernment be withheld. Dom Miguel prefaced his remarks by praising Americans he has met, paying especial compliment to Mrs. J. H. Smith, mother of his daughter in-law and widow of the American speculator, "Silent” Smith. He emphasized his belief , that it is only a question of time when the Por tuguese monarchy will be restored, citing recent outbreaks in various parts of that country to support his contention that the present republics government Is unstable. Neither property nor personal rights are respected at present, he alleged. Mme. Camille Dugast, the famous explorer, autoist and aeronaut, just now is trying to civilize the tribes of southern Morocco, bearing a spe cial commission from the French min ister of education. While her task is a stupendous one and fraught with many dangers from poisonous insects and jungle plagues, and is forced to put up with many in convenienced, Mme. Dugast writes to a friend here that civilizing savages is mere child’s play compared with the work of trying to ward off pro posals from the marriageable tribe chiefs and even the sultan himself. The sultan is one of Mme. Dugast’s most consistent admirers and ever since she became interested in Moroc co he has paid persistent court to her. First, he offered her the superinten dency of his harem, which is the same as to say he wanted to make her his principal wife. Mme. Dugast very cleverly avoided offending her royal On indisputable authority it is learned that Princess Victoria Luise of Prussia, only daughter of the kai ser, is the unhappy heroine of a “true love” romance, -which is now finding a sequel in the princess’ “rest cure” with her father on the Mediterranean. The princess, who will be 20 years old next September, fell deeply in love during the recent court season, according to reports current in so ciety, with the hereditary Count Fug ger, a lieutenant in the elite gardes du corps at Potsdam and a descendant of an ancient Bavarian family, which was once the wealthiest in Europe. The affection was mutual, but it was necessary to represent to the princess that marriage was impossi ble, not only on account of the differ ence in the lovers’ rank, but also be cause the Fuggers are devout Roman Catholics. The princess succumbed to a dis tressing attack of nervous prostration THE : EIMI NEW APPARATUS FOR OCULIST Swiss Scientist Perfects Electromag nets for Extracting Metal Par ticles From Eye. ' * Electromagnets of special construc tion have been made use of for some time by oculists in extracting metal particles which accidentally penetrate the eye, but this apparatus, designed I l J? I Electromagnets for Oculists. by a Swiss oculist, is of a new and advanced type, says the Popular Me chanics. An important feature is the form given the active pole, for the less the pole projects out of its windings the stronger is its power of. attraction. The field of operation, however, must not be obstructed, so the new electro magnet is made bell-shaped. The windings near the pole are of the same general shape so as to leave the field of vision equally free on all surround ing sides of the operating point. USE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS Boston Terminal Railroad Company Employs Electricity for Handling Baggage and Freight. Small electric trucks are used for the South station, Boston, for handl ling both freight and baggage. The adoption of the electric truck has been brought about by the huge volume of material handled at this railway terminal. When the freight was handled by hand, it was almost impossible to properly take eg re of it. These trucks are built low to the ground, and have a wheel base of 52 inches. A platform is provided on which the operator may stand when the truck is in service. The battery box is located directly under the plat form, but in such a position as will not interfere with the wheels in mak ing the sharp turns to which the truck is subjected. For this class of work the elec tric vehicle has been found ideal in every respect. The simple and easy control, the reliability, the safety and lack of any disagreeable odors or noise, are the reasons why it has been adopted in foston. ELECTRIC MOTOR SAVES TIME New Hampshire Box Factory Has Nove! Method of Doing Sandpa pering—Works Quickly. Sandpapering by electricity is what is being done in a large box factory located at Ashuelot, N. H. The work is done by an electric motor. Fastened to each end of the motor shafts are two solid wheels to which has been fastened the sandpa per, as shown in the illustration. These wheels revolve at a high rate of speed J Sandpapering Machine. and do the work in about one-quar ter of the time required to do it by hand. This sandpapering device is only one of the many applications of elec tricity in the plant. In all, 30 motors of varying sizes are used to operate the plant Electric Railways. Electric railways have been extend ed further and further into the coun try, linking together the villages and hamlets, the cities and towns, until It is quite possible to travel from Boston to Chicago-via the trolley cars. Steam railroads have been electrified and self-contained cars of the gas-electric type now operate on the many short lines. ' BARLEY THRESHED BY MOTOR Ohio Farmer Breaks Record for Time When He Adopts Electrical Meth od for Quick Work. William Stroop, who has a farm In the Miami valley, near Dayton, 0., had a crop of barley that he wanted threshed last fall, so he sent for the owner of the local threshing outfit to do the work. He came with his 33- inch separator and his big steam trac tion engine and proceeded to set up for business. . Mr. Stroop had been using -a 15- borsepower electric motor about his farm buildings for cutting and grinding feed, sawing wood, etc., shift ing it to various positions, as desired, and making connections with little jtrouble. He suggested to the owner of the thresher that the motor be used in place of his engine, to which the latter agreed, though his engineer doubted the ability of the small motor to run the separator at full capacity. The machine was set, however, and the belt adjusted, and when the pow er was turned on its strength was speedily demonstrated by the rapidity with which the sheaves disappeared and the grain poured out. Hour after hour the work proceeded without stopping^ and when the job was fin ished it was found that in less than 12 hours more than 1,700 bushels of grain had been threshed, an average of 150 bushels an hour. WAY OF DISINFECTING BOOKS Problem of Preventing Spread of Con tagious Diseases Is Solved by Mississippi Man. Every public library faces the prob lem of disinfecting its books so as to prevent the spreading of contagious diseases and in some localities this has become quite a serious problem. A Mississippi man has a novel solu tion for it, says the Popular Electric ity. He places the books on a revolv ing rack against which small electric blowers are forcing jets of air. The breeze not only rotates the whole rack, but also spreads out and slut- Apparatus for Disinfecting Books. ters the leaves so that the air can readily pervade them. By dropping some disinfectant into the chamber from which the blowers get their sup ply of air, this is finely distributed through the books. Improve Efficiency of Telephone. The efficiency of the present tele phone apparatus has been greatly in creased by a Danish banker. Know ing that sound is more readily trans mitted through rarefied air he has con structed an apparatus to warm the transmitter, whereby the air in it be comes thinner and the sound is in tensified. Conversations between Copenhagen and Nykjobing, a distance of some 75 miles, could be clearly fol lowed some distance away from the instrument. ELECTRICAL OTO Massachusetts is believed to lead all of the states in its percentage of mo tor-propelled vehicles. Electric lights are to be installed in one of the oldest and most famous Hindu temples in India. It takes three-tenths of a second for "a signal to pass over the 2,700 miles of an Atlantic cable. ■ New York is installing additional high-pressure motor-driven fire pumps in two of its pumping stations. Electric taxicabs are being exten sively used in the larger cities of Eu rope, notably Paris and London. It is stated that the weekly royal ties of Mr. Edison from moving pic ture inventions amounts to SB,OOO. A motor plow for throwing up trenches on a battlefield to afford pro tection to soldiers Is a recent inven tion. One of the newest musical instru ments, operated by electricity, repro duces the notes of 45 orchestra per formers. In 1909 there were only four electric furnaces used in Europe in preparing steel for castings. There are now over 400. New Zealand now has over 2,780 miles of railway. Electrification of certain sections is now under con templation. A new submarine cable between England and France has resulted in telephonic communication between England and Switzerland. Street lighting has been developed until many cities boast a “Great White Way” and night is practically turned into day in the business sec tions. Electric smelting and refining pro cesses are said to produce steel that is denser and more homogeneous than open-hearth steel of the same general composition. In 1909 the telegraph and telephone companies, together with similar con cerns that use electric wires in this country, expended over $7,000,000 in the purchase of poles. GOOD NAME. tel Wise —The Choral Society should change it’s name to the Chloral So ciety. Green —Why? Wise —I went to their concert last night and it put me to sleep. , He Was the One. A small boy with a rather lost and lonesome appearance walked into' the county clerk’s office at the court house. He gazed about him for a time and finally approached Deputy Henry Smiley. “Please, sir,” said the lad, timidly, “have you seen anything of a lady around here?” "Why, yes, sonny,” answered Smi ley, "I’ve seen several.” "Well, have you seen any without a little boy?” as lad asked anxiously. "Yes,” replied Smiley. "Well,” said the little chap, as a relieved look crossed his face. "I’m the little boy. Where’s the lady?”— Denver Post. Life Sentence. The Marquis of Queensberry, apro pos of the long sentence of Foulke E. Brandt, said at a dinner in New York: “It reminds me of an incident in London. A certain peer drove in a taxicab to Westminster and, when he got out, gave the driver a very small tip. “The driver mistook him for a mem ber of the house of commons and snarled: “‘I hope you get turned out next election and don’t never get in again’’ “ ‘Don’t worry, my friend,’ said the peer, as he set off for the house of lords. ‘Don’t worry—I’m in for life.’ ” When Your Eyes Need Care Try Murine Eye Remedy.

Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that alcohol lowers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor- Euscles of the blood and renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs, lisease germs cause the death of over one-half of the human race. A blood medicine, made entirely without alcohol, which is a pure glyceric ex tract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen’s root, Golden Seal root, Mandrake and Stone root, has been extensively sold by druggists for the past forty years as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. The refreshing influence of this extract is like. Nature’s influence—the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the blood— the vital fires of the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter.
