A PLATEOF SOUP. Sta Ec lpo ;riil arott's Ps- Identlal Aspirations. Serving dluners In courses la com jwratively a modern fashion, first In troduced In diplomatic circles In Wash ington and Imitated from Franco. I'p to the date of President Polk's admin istration the course dinner among Americans had made no further prog ress than that of serving fish and soup separately. Soup was regarded as such a foreign frippery that a note written by tiencriU Wlntleld Scott, In which ho explained that he was "Just sitting down to a hasty plate of soup," cov ered him with such ridicule as to ma terially contribute to his defeat as a candidate of the presidency. Soup In the early days of the repub lic was considered as food for Invalids or poor people only. Later, when the social splendors of the court of the Kmpress Kugenle attracted rich Amer icans In flocks to Paris, French table manners and customs pushed the old English dinner fashions to the wall. It is doubtful, however. If soup ever found a place on the dinner table of the wealthy Maryland or Virginia planter, unless green turtle, which was really a stew, might be so called. The object of an old time dinner par ty was to eat, whereas that of the course dinner Is to delight the eye rath er than the palate, and yet who will ; say that the sight of a well filled din ner table where an array of silver cov ered dishes pives forth a bouquet of appetizing odors fails to make an agreeable Impression on all the senses? Llpplncott's Magazine. Lost la Her Own Room. "Talking about being lost," says the girl who has been visiting her grand parents In the old family homestead "I have been lost In the city and lost In the country, but never wag there anything so horrible as being lost In my own room. It was a very queer room I bad at grandmamma's any wayone of those rooms from which a flight of stairs leads down; rooms such as are only to be seen In old houses. It blew up cold the first night I was In the bouse, and I got up to close the window. The room, of course, was pitch dark. In getting back from the window to the bed I lost myself. I tad not the slightest Idea In what direction to turn, and I knew that If I was not careful I should go down those awful stairs. There was noth ing to do but sit down on the floor and howl for some one to come and find me, and that was Just what I did. If grandpa and grandmamma bad not been unusually normal Individuals, I should have frightened them to death. As It was, they only thought I had a nightmare, brought candles and locat ed me an t shewed me my way to bed again." The End of the World. Dr. M. W. Meyer, n German scientist in an interesting volume under the above title explains a "new theory" as to how this event will probably come about. Indeed he carries his argument still further and finally extinguishes all the energy of the universe. All of the present satellites moons, etc. will eventually be drawn In by the force of gravitation and become a part of their planets. These in turn will be ab sorbed by the sun. A series of colli sions will then commence between the various suns which will finally result In one enormous sun and solar system. "And so growing In grandeur, but di minishing in number, the final catas trophe will come when there are no more suns to produce collisions (and heat) and one huge body cooled to the '. Eoro of space, void of available energy, will mark the final outcome of cosinic al motion." FKEE Embroidery lessons given free of charge by itn experienced teacher at Adam-.

THEDFOHD'S biackdhaoght THE GREAT ESHILYHIDICINE Tbedford's Mick-Draught has saved doctor j ' biilj for more than siity years.

It invigorates and reg ulates the liver, assists digestion, stimulates action c? tL? kidneys, purines the blood, i.ud purges the bowels of foul acctuaulations. It cures liver complaint, indigestion, sour stomacn, dizziness, chills rheumatic pains, sideache. back' ache, kidney troubles, constipation, diarrhoea, biliousness, piki, hard eol'Wan'! headache.

The one thing that qualifies a ixrson to pvo advice on any subject Is experience exierience creates knowledge. No other jierson has so wide an exiterience with female ills nor such a record of success us Mrs. I'inkhain has had. Over a hundred thousand' cases come lie fore her each year.

Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such au experience, especially when it is free. Mrs. Hayes, of Uoston, w rote to Mrs. IMnkliani wlion ulio was in great trouble. Her letter shows the result. There ar actually thousands of such letters in Mrs. IMnkhain's poxsessiAii. " Dear Mits. Pinkham : I have been under doctors' treatment for female troubles for some time, but without any relief. They now tell me I have a fibroid tumor.

While a fair was being held recentlj fi a small town in Belgium the ownci ;f a menagerie aimouiiced that one ol .'he villagers, who was known to pos sess great courage, would enter that evening a cage containing two lions and would remain there fifteen min utes. When t! s was noised abroad, every one determined to witness the novel sight, and as a result there were sev eral hundred persons In front of the lions' eageivben the performance be gan. At a signal from the owner the cour ageous villager entered the cage and stood watching the lions. They, how ever, took not the slightest notice of him. and after the fifteen minutes had expired he left the cage. As he did so a storm of hisses greeted him, and the next moment such an uproar arose that the owner summoned the police and the entertainment came to an end. The fact was the people expected that the lions would attack the vil lager and they were disappointed be cause no blood had been shed. "Yet It Is exceedingly probable," says a French writer, "that if one of the lions had escaped from the cage th's bloodthirsty crowd would have been terrified almost to death."

American Peopla Have an Admiration For Orators Judga Porter and the juryAn Abla Man at Tablo Con press as a Presidential Hatchery. Telling Stories on th Stump How a Buck Was Vanquished Patrlotio ' Under All Circumstances. Coirli:ht, IWS. by Chump Clurk.l Frequently the fact Is referred to In the newspapers that a law majority of repiesentiiilves and Hciuitom am lawyers. That Is true and probably will continue to be true so loiiK I"" republic lives. It kih out of the facts: First. -The American people are the preatest admirers of oratory on the face of the earth. All lawyers are not orators, nor do all lawyers net to cull press, but their business compels most lawyers to Income at least liitclllcll'ic speakers. No oilier rhis of our clll r.eiis Is so much iclven to public speak !n' as lawyers save preacher, and very few of the latter aspire to public Mil lion; hence the lawyers have the call, or. In race horse parlance, the pole, when It comes to "ruiinlnB for coil press." Second. A larpe aciUiilntiince nmoiiit the peoplo.of a congressional district is usually a sine qua mm to a nomina tion or an election. Of course there nre exceptions to the rule, but never theless that Is the rule. A lawyer In active practice bus a tine opportunliy to know and be known by the voters. v .Especially was that true when "riding the circuit was fashlniiaiiie, ror. strange to say, the railroads, Instead of IncreasliiK the habit of practlclni! over the circuit, have diminished It. Where fore? Let philosophers answer. Third.-People have an Idea that a man who has spent n liire portion of his life studying, practicing ami ex pounding the law ought to know how to make law. This may or may not bo true. As the house Is made up largely of lawyers. Il goes without saying that courts, judges, lawyers. Juries, clients, witnesses el Id genua onine are most frequently the themes at the cloakroom sea n ces. Judge Porter and the Jury. I do not remember, however, to have heard any lawyer coiigressinnu tell a more piquant story alsnit a court than this one 1 am about to set forth, relnt ihI by James Kelly Fool of Cenlnillii, Mo., who Is not n lawyer, lie Is an editor. He tells It of Hon. tJllehrlst Porter, n splendid Christian gentleman who served two terms 111 congress and several terms on the circuit bench. Fool's story runs hi this wise: "It Is said that on a certain occasion a sher iff of Audrain county summoned a spe cial Jury to try some cave in the cir cuit court at Mexico and for some ira soll got together a tough lot of Mexico saloon frequenters. After the jury was duly examined it was suggested to the Judge that he proceed to qualify the Jury. Judge Porter awoke from one of liis famous Mieiich naps.' looked the Jury over carefully and said to the Jurymen, 'lientli-men. I can swear you In. but nil creation cannot qualify you!' " It will not be Improper to state that Air. Pool Is nn anient temperance ad vocate. Jud-e Porter's Mot. J tdge Porter not only slept a great deal, but he was an enormous eater. No man ulnco the days of old Epicurus more thoroughly enjoyed dining. Judge Poller was the author of this mot: "A turkey Is ton much for one mini to eat and not enough for two." That Ih a most remarkable statement when It Is remembered that In his circuit bronze turtioy gobblers frequently weigh from tO to "iO pounds. He would have been a fit table companion for the Emperor M a x I m in n or that more famous Emper or (,'harles V. whose favorite diet even when an invalid in bis old age waj lampreys and eel pica. As to Presidential Hatcheries. Senator 8. 15. Elklns of West Virgin la once remarked that "the house la a much better hatchery for president! than the Semite." That remark Is en tirely too sweeping. No senator while in service was ever elected to the presi dency and only one rcpreseutiitlv while In service, James A. Garfield, who was also a senator elect. Every body regards the vice presidency as a sort of presidential graveyard. No body ever seems to think of the speak ership of the bouse In that light, and yet only one ex-speaker, James K. Polk, ever reached the presidency, while Vice Presidents John Adam. Thomas Jefferson. Martin Van Iturcii, John Tyler. Millard Fillmore. Andrew Johnson. Chester A. Arthur and Theo dore lioosevelt nil attained to that ex alted honor, the first three by election and the last five through Yhe death of their chiefs. So tbi.t, on the doctrine of chances, leaving out the element of death, a vice president hns prospects three times us good of becoming chief magistrate of the republic as a speaker has. While no senator was ever elected president while serving among the qotisi-ript fathers, several reached to the first place after quitting the Bcn ate Monroe. John Qtilncy Adams, All drew Jack-sou. Martin Van I'.uren. Wil liam Iieiiry Harrison. John Tyler, Franklin Pierc. .lames fine h.'inan, An drew Johnson stiiI I'.enJamlii Harrison. I'esideH UartMil. the only men wL'O had served In the bouse of representa tives and not In the, senate to reacn the presidency were Madison, Flllraorft 1 Lincoln. Itayea and McKlnlcy unloM W1. eo Washing! the elder Adams .lellvisoii. who all served l ro.illuentul co.ikicns. Neither Taylor. ! (irniil.
