ATHLETICS FOR PRINCESSES.
Quern Alexandra’s Daughters Are
Fond of All Sorts of Games.
Queen Alexandra lias always
been an advocate of games and
athletics for girls, if kept within
reason, says London Modern So
ciety. She herself was very fond
of all outdoor games as a child.
In running she was swift of foot
as Atalanta. and skat ing came as
naturally to her as walking.
“Never.” wrote an enthusiastic
admirer of her, the mother of the
then rector of Sandringham, "did
our dear princess look more grace
ful and fnirylike than when skim
ming over the ice on her skates.
She seemed to express the poetry
of motion.” Although fond of rid
ing. t he queen, owing to t he neces
sity of sitting on the wrong side
of the saddle, has not been a great
horsewoman. Driving was at one
time a favorite amusement of
hers, and people living round San
dringham used to watch for the
pretty pair of grays she tooled
along so deftly. On one of her
birthdays a 1 ittlo carriage, with
four ponies, was given her by the
emperor of Russia, and she drove
these either four abreast or in the
usual four-in hand style.
fler majesty encouraged her
daughters to try every form of
outdoor and indoor exercise, and
arranged that they should receive
lessons in boating, riding, swim
ming and billiards. They are all
fond of cycling,especially Princess
Victoria, who has made several
bicycle excursions with her inti
mate friends. The duchess of
Fife's favorite sport is salmon
fishing, and few women can throw
a fly as skilfully and play a
salmon as scientifically as she can.
Princess ('harles of Denmark is a
good tennis player, and has lately
taken up the fancy for croquet, a
game in which the queen excels.
The king and queen showed their
interest in swimming by their
visit to the bath club the other
day to witness the matches, and
they both expressed the opinion
that every boy and girl in the
kingdom "should learn to swim,
and that every facility should be
given for the poorest ones to do
so.
TECHNIQUE OF THE SCYTHE
Modern Implement Suggestive of a
Long Eroiutioner? Princess.
A very slight examination of a
mod or n scythe*, says the Fornhill.
is enough to oonvinoe one that
much history is crystallized in its
rare beauty. The original handle
is no longer a handle; the handles
now are 1\vo turned pegs, set in
iron ring sockets, which are them
selves suggestive of long evolu
tion. Moreover, tin* sinuous shaft
is not now what it was .“>0 years
ago the nearest pole that the
copse cutter could find for tin* pur
pose- a sort of makeshift, in fact;
if is now a shaft rounded and
smoothed in a maehine lathe, and
ftent by steam and pressure in a
factory to the ideal curve desired
by mowers for ages. Perfect
vcythe handles might he had now
by the thousand, for the type is
found, and manufacturers eoubl
reproduce it forever: hut at this
•tage even the easier technique
that would suffice for working the
perfected tool seems likely to be
■>|uite superseded by machinery.
Thus the scythe is less Ihe minis
ter to a modern technique than
the embodied evidence of a tech
nine soon to be forgotten, Before
:( is too late specimens should be
olleeted for preservation in mu
seums. where future generations,
technically educated, might goon
hank holidays and wonder why
men ever devised such awkward
looking tools.

All fast trains on the Siberian
railway have movable seats, which

HONORS WERE EVEN,
Although (hf Attorney Jinn Some—
’t !is! of n !Sinu in ItetnlintinK
on tlie Judge.
_
! _«Tohn_ I?. Eldridge, a well known western
: New York attorney, recently had occasion
I to argue a case betore a justice of the peace
| in one of the small towns near Rochester.
It happened that Mr. Kid ridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties.
| had been opposed to each other in several
content- and were far from being or. the beat
personal terms. Each, to use a slang t xprev
sion. "bad it in for the other.” The justice
scored the first point, sa\s the New York
Herald.
In a field near the court room a donkey
was feeding, .lust as Mr. Eldridge was in
the inid.-t of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray.
".lust a minute, Mr. Eldridge, just a min
ute, ’ said the justice blandly. “1 cannot
hear two at once.”
The attorney was hard' hit. but he said
nothing and waited his turn, it came when
the justice was explaining a point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re
sounded through the court room. Air. El
driilge placed his hand at his ear.
“Would yon mind repeating that, your
honor?” lie said in his-roildrst tones. “'There
was such an echo that 1 could not under
: stand.”
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.
Very I’rnHrntlng.
Some years ago there was an old judge
on the bench in Berks county, whose deci
j sums, in consequence of numerous revtrs
; ale, did not always command universal re*
spect. One day in a case in which he was
sating, one of the lawyers lost, patience
at his inability to see things jn a certain
light, and in the heat of the moment, re
| marked that the intellect of the court was
so dark a flash of lightning could not pene
trate it. For this contempt the judge
showed a di-position to be very severe with
the offender, and it was only after much
Bfi-uasion by friends of the latter that he
yielded and decided to accept a public apol
ogy. The following day the lawyer, ac
cordingly, appeared before his honor and
made amends by saying: “I regret very
much that 1 said the intellect of the court
was so dark lightning could not pene
trate it. 1 guess it could: It is a very pene
trating thing.”—Kansas City Star,
“Don’t you think the public 'ares for
Shakespeare?” “Y es," answered Mr. Storm
ington Barnes, “the public cares a great deal
for Shake-peare. and seriously resents the
way some of u» actor* abuse him.''—WaAhr

Franksville, Wis., (Jet. 12th.—Many re
markable cures have been reported trorn all

in Franksville winch is certainly worth pub
lishing, and which has not as yet been g.ven

.Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been
a nick woman for qu’te a long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms ot what
is generally known a» female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of wer kne-s and suffering.
Mrs. Marki«on ehnr.ced one day to hear
of a new remedy called Dodd s Kidney Pills,
that was .-aid to be a splendid medicine lor
women’s weakness. Sire determined to trv
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mis. Markison says:—
“1 can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
a« a remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine I have ever known, and
have done me a great deal of good.”

INVENTIONS TO BE INVENTED,
Some That Medical Men Could Use—
Improvements in Food.
Of course, there is no escape
from the consideration that die
tetics must Ik* allotted a supreme
place, says the Woman's Home
Companion, for man is an animal,
and is therefore compelled to seek
physical sustenance. Science will
be more and more concerned with
the problems of food supply. Here
the chemist comes into evidence.
Scientists predict wonderful re
sults as the ultimate rewards of
the research now going on quietly
in many a laboratory. The way
will be found of growing straw
berries as large as fine apples, and
raspberries and blackberries will
be produced of such dimensions
that one will strffice for the fruit
course of each person. Cranber
ries, gooseberries and currants will
be as large as oranges. One can
taloup will supply a large family.
Melons, cherries, grapes, plums,
apples, pears and peaches will be
seedless. All varieties of summer
fruits will be of such a hardy na
ture that they will be capable of
storage all through the winter, as
potatoes are now. Cheap native
rubber will be grown, and will be
harvested by machinery all over
this country. Roses w ill be as big
as cabbages, violets will attain
the size of fine orchids, and a
heart's ease w ill be of the sunflow
er magnitude. There w ill be prac
ticed the constant transfer of the
perfume of any scented flower to
another that is naturally inodor
ous. Plants will be rendered mi
crobe proof. How will all these
wonders in culture be achieved?
Ry the discovery of new methods
of applying electric agency in
glass gardens, so that at one and
the same time currents will be
passed through the soil to make
plants grow faster and larger, and
also to exterminate weeds and to
destrov bacteria.
One of the dreams of medical
men is likely to he realized in the
near future. Few drugs will he
swallowed or taken into the stom
ach unless needed for the direct
treatment of that organ itself.
The methods of administration of
healing medicaments will he revo
lutionized in t he days of our great
grandchildren. With the aid of
diagnosis by X-rays, and by the
medium of electric currents, drugs
will be applied to various organs
through the skin and flesh, and
the treatment will be painless. Tt
will he as easy with the instru
ments that are certain to be in
vented—of which the microscope,
the photographic camera and the
X-ray apparatus are but the pio
neers-—for the pathologist, physi
cian and surgeon to see the
interior of the body and to explore
its recesses as it is now to survey
the exterior.
A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Represented a London Newspaper la
Paris and Was Well Liked.
It is reported that Mrs. Emily
Crawford, Paris correspondent of
the London News, will shortly re
tire from her post. For over MO
years lias Mrs. Crawford—in con
junction with her husband and
then with her son—been actively
employed in that capacity. "When
King Edward arrived in Paris
there was the Daily News corre
spondent at her post,” says "M. A.
P.,” "on the platform, an interest
ing and dignified figure, with
white hair and a highly intellec
tual face. True, she carried a
st ick, but intellectually she was as
alert as ever. Every official in
Paris, high and low, knows Mrs.
Crawford, and whereas other cor
respondents often experience dif
ficulty in acquiring information or
obtainingagood view of important
ceremonies, she has never once
met with a rebuff. During the j
siege of Paris she did admirable
work, and so respected and popu- -
lar was she that she received the '
red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. !
However, she requested that it
might be given to her son. Mr. Rob
ert Crawford, instead, and this
an unheard of concession—was
done.”
