John D. Rockefeller Is nn ndvocnto of the simple life. Ills rulo Is to simply get It and keep It. A man of the nnmo of Aa has the first place In Now York's directory, lie Is doubly entitled to It. Gcorgo Hernard Shaw says Christians should not mako fortunes. Wo know of sotno who aro not doing so. Bomo persons collect cigar bands. IlUMell Sago collected money. Of tho two, Hago was tho moro sensible. marry, and drag the man and tho wom an Into a lovehw alliance. Yet Interna ttonal marriages frequently turn out happily. In some cases tlioj afford both parties opportunity for service of which both countries may bo proud. Tho union between Lord Curaon and Mary Loiter was such a marriage,' and tho recent death of tho wife Is mourned on both sides of tho ocean. That the lato Lady Curaon' did her part In the work of an Englishman of power and responsibility one of England's great est colonial administrators Is as cred Itablo to her and to her nation as If she had been the wife of an equally notublo American.

John Lambert says Einiwror William Is tho ablest man In Europe, bar none. It Is In order for O. Itcrnard Shaw to say some sarcastic things about Lambert A Kansas clergyman will advertise bis church. Isn't that a legltlmato mod ern interpretation of tho Injunction to "go out Into tho highways and hedge and compel them to como In?" Emperor William thinks journalists should bo compelled to puss examina tions, tho sumo as doctors and lawyers, boforo being permitted to practice. What is William's Idea concerning poets? Millionaire Huntington, of California, recently gave his 112,000 automobile to his chauffeur. It seems ho had been able to go only soventy-llvo miles au hour In this machine and wanted to ei e fast one. Of course, tho Intention of tho Stand ard Oil Company, In its attouipt to corner tho denatured alcohol business, la to moke Uw new fuel so cheap and papular that persona will prefor It to kerosene aud gasoline. Paris green, the farmer's weapon against potato bugs and other pests, has advanced in prlco nearly SO per cent hi a year. Tho reason ts the flooding of the arsenic mines In Wales last year. Paris green is acoto-arsenlto of copper. Arsenic is tho best insecti cide, aud constitutes tho destructive part of arsenate of lead, which has bo como tho most useful spray for frutt aud shade trees, Tho island of Juan Fernundes Is re ported destroyed In tho earthquake which devastated Valparaiso. If so, tt will bo a loss that will bo felt keen ly by every boy, old or young, who has reveled In the story of ltoblnson Cru soe. Every admirer of that hero prob ably has had at some time tho secret longing to some time visit the Island Biado real to him by Defoo'a great tale. It la the Mecca of boyish fancy. All lovers of Robinson Crusoe will ltopo the Island still stands with Its magic at tuosphero of romantic Interest Whllo there can bo no doubting tho Intention of the llrltlsh government to henceforth dominate openly tho po litical control of Egypt as a part of tho llrltlsh Empire, tho proposals of Lord Cromer clearly Indicate that there Is to bo equal opportunity for all na tionalities and full respect for acquired and vested rights. Iu other words, mod em Egypt Is to Ih governed on tho open door principle so strongly advocated by tho Uultod States In China and tho far East generally. Whllo England will rule, she does not propose to Insist upou any monopoly of trade or fran chises, but, on tho contrary, extendi equal opportunity to all coiuors. Marriages between wealthy Amerl can women and titled foreigners do not meet with approval from somo sternly patriotic Americans.

King Leo pold, who spends almost as much tliuo out of his couutry as he does In It, hni so vera I residences which ho seldom or never visits, yet he Is constantly adding to them. He has a flno palace In Brussels, but when within his own domuln he prefers to spend his time In tho country. He Is also tho richest monarch In Europe so far as real es tate Is concerned.

Tho public will npprovo the refitting of Old Ironsides with tho rigging aud armament that she hd In thi days of her glory. SeotlautVa Kaatwat Hum, Scotland's fastest railway point-to-point runs aro from Forfar to Perth, where the thirty-two aud a half miles are traversed twlca dally In thirty-two minutes, which means a mean spevd t CO-0 miles aa houx. Flics aro one of tho greatest pqsts thut n HI let mankind and the lower ani mals. Long beforo tho science of line terlology nroHO and the mlcrnblc theory of disease was originated llles were supiKJsed to propagate the plague and many other diseases, and modern sc'viico lias continued tills theory. In oro'cr to test It tho putrid remains of dead animals hnvo been sprinkled with a flno whlto powder and subse quently files that lit on sick peoplo and on the dainty dishes of tho table have becu found to havo this powder on ttailr feet Of course, when thcro Is an epidemic must convey tho score tloan and excretions of the patients to ko.iltbj people. Possibly tills may even be done by tho flies lighting on food which healthy peoplo afterward eat As this evil is, so far as known, only occasional, flies do just as much harm In tho aggregate by torturing tho do mestic animals, as this goes on all the ttine. Tho sufferings which horses and cows undergo in this way Is sometime! sufficient to make them drip with sweat At tho same time their Useful- now to man Is greatly Impaired. Iu tliu summer tlmu tho horse could do twlco aa much work If ho did not wasto hli strength In kicking at tho llles. Cows also would probably give moro m'lk. Here Is an enormous economic waste which has attracted surprisingly 11 tt Jo attention. If files aro to be ex terminated tho most curious aud most significant tiling Is that they aro a product of human nature. When trav el:: s visit n region unlnlmblUitcd by man they find no llles there. If they live tlioro h short tlino tlioro will bo 11s many llles tlioro as anywhere else. Tho right way Is, of course, to exter minate them, but In tho mcanwhllo Is there not somo way by which tho homo and cow may bo protected against tliu pot? Several lotions and powders havo been Invented which repel tho files, but they also Injure tho animal. What Is needed Is somo application which wi'l not hurt a horse's coat and yet will repel or mislead tho flies. Tho reason that nothing of this kind has bow discovered Is probably that tho Impression prevails that such a sub stance must bo poisonous to tho files, whereas tho truth seems to bo that It only needs to deceive them. Insects seem to be guided to their food by tho sotuvo of smell. As soon as anything they llko Is volatilized thoy swarm to It from far and wide. Evidently it Is tho odor of tho horso or tho cow dlfused by animal heat that attracts them and tho way to drlvo them off Is to dlsgulso that odor so that they will not bo led aright No doubt this Is the way that flsh oil and keroseuo rope! them. All that is necessary Is some lotion which kills tho odor of tin animal as effectively us thro oils without Injuring their coat or inflam ing their skin. For nil anybody knows this substance may bo something which Is handled uvory day and Is as cheap at dirt O. E. HCINTZ, Manager.
