Absolutely Pure Importance of the Exchange Reader : The man who reads the exchanges is a very important man, and, let me say, too, he is a pretty highly paid man. He has to read, we will say, 8,000 papers regularly. , All the newspapers in the country come into the office, and he does not do anything else. He sits at his desk all day, and a pile of newspapers, or, say, a cord of newspapers, is laid before him every morning. He starts to work and turns them over and over to see what is in them. He has to know what ' it is that should be taken from them and put into his paper. What is the in teresting story? It requires judgment to know this. It requires knowledge and experience as well as talent. 3t also re quires a sense of humor, because there are a great many 'things that are really important that may not seem so at the first glance, and the newspaper reader has got to judge about that He must always be on hand and spend a great many hours at his desk, and he is pretty tired when he gets through with his day's task. It is a hard duty, but he has lots of amusement,' and, as I said, he is very well paid. So he is happy. Charles A. Dana in McClure s Magazine. Winning Bluff.

She Had Consumption and Gave Her Proofs In Substantiation. , From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa. Last July the Episcopal hospital ad mitted a woman whose pale and emaci ated faoe and raoking cough proclaim ed her the victim of consumption. , She cave her name as Mrs. Same . Q. Bowen, wife of Wm. Q. Bowen, resi dence 1849 Meighan Street, Fhila delphia. The case was diagnosed and she was told plainly that she was in an advanced stage of consumption. The examining physician even showed her the sunken place in her breast where the cavity in her lung was supposed to exist. ' She went home to her family a broken, ; disheartened woman with death staring her in the faoe. That was the beginning of the story. The end was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expects to die, to a reporter who visited her home. "The first symptoms of consumption came in the form of terrible sweats, both night and day. From April until September I was constantly oold and kept wrapped up in blankets through the hottest weather. A terrible cough took possession of me, my breats were sore to the slightest touch, and my limbs were like oold clay. The hard est rubbing with the coarsest towel would not create the slightest flush, and the least exertion would so exhaust me that I oould barely gasp for water. "I went to the hospital in July and they diagnosed my case as above stated. It was when the clouds were the dark est that the first glint of sunshine came. Mr. Shelmerdine, a friend who lives around at 1844 Clementine street, said to me one day, 'Mrs. Bowen, did you ever try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People?' . I had never heard of the medioine, bnt in my condition could not turn a deaf ear to anything that offered relief. It was after con siderable thought and investigation that I concluded to discontinue all the medioine I was taking, including ood liver oil, and depend entirely upon Pink Pills. I began to take the pills, at first with but little enoouragement. The first sign of improvement was a warmth and a tingling sensation in my limbs. Finally the cough disappeared, my chest lost its soreness and I began to gain flesh until I was fifteen pounds heavier. All this I owe to Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills, and I cannot praise them too highly. " Mrs. Bowen is a kindly f aoed lady of middle age, a churoh member well known and highly esteemed. She looks today well and strong, and it seems almost impossible that she was ever given up by eminent physicians as an incurable consumptive. Yet such is the case beyond all dispute. . Dr. Williams' Pink Pills oontain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50o per box, or six boxes for $2. 50. -, Wonders of Minute Animal Life. The following, which might very ap propriately bear the heading of "A Won der of Wonders, " is from the pen of Sir Robert S. Ball, F. R. S. , astronomer royal of Ireland: "The microscope teaches us that there are animals so won derfully minute that if a thousand of them were ranked abreast they could easily swim, without being thrown out of order, through the eye of the finest cambrio needle ever made. Yet each of the minute creatures is a highly organ ized number of particles, capable of mov ing about, of finding and devouring food end of behaving in all respects as be comes an animal as distinguished from a fragment of unorganized matter. " The human mind is utterly incapable of real izing the structure of these little crea tures and of fully appreciating their marvelous adaptation to the life they are destined to lead. The Secret of French Cooking. The gentle heat is said to be the secret of the superior delicacy and richness of French cooking. With a gentle heat and tight covers ' we may have just the amount of juice we like in our vegeta bles. A glance will decide this, or per haps the ear, if the hand at the same time rests on the cover. Many kinds of meat may be cooked in this way to the best advantage. A rump steak, three or four inches thick, kept closely covered and cooked in its own juices alone, will be far more tender than when put into the oven, and this without basting and without fat, the latter having been trim med off closely.

Among Chicago Horsewomen. Emancipation from skirts is one at the privileges which the advanced wom an has long been contending for, and the prevail ing popularity of bicycling and other outdoor ex ercises for worn en gives a sudden and considerable impetus to that long delayed re' form. Bloomers and divided skirts no longer excite wonder when seen on the highways, and the dav when the miss woods' divided horsewom an skirt. . may ride astride man fashion without fear of criticism is at hand. The sidesaddle has always been a serious handicap, and Miss Woods, an enterprising Chicago woman, has in vented a costume which enables her to discard it without derogation of her womanly modesty and dignity. The lower garment of this costume may be called a divided skirt, but prac tically it resembles a pair of very wide trousers. The two skirts, each a third of a yard in width, are fastened in a belt at the waist, and gathered in with a row of plaits at the middle of the front and back. These plaits give the divided garment the appearance of a single skirt, and the fullness of each skirt at the bottom completes the illu sion. A panel almost as wide as the ap parent width of the skirt falls on each side, from the belt almost to the foot, which adds to the effectiveness and con ventional appearance of the fostume when the wearer is astride a horse. The improvement claimed for this costume over the ordinary divided skirt is that there is no clumsy fullness at the bottom. The skirt hangs straight, and is no wid er than an ordinary riding habit. It dis plays less of the contour of the figure than the regular costume used with the sidesaddle. Miss Woods introduced the innovation as a result of her experience in Pales tine. After much discomfort and sever al mishaps jn riding in a dilapidated sidesaddle she one day boldly threw her leg across the horse's back and rode that way all day before any one discovered her. Then she refused to ride any other way. All the Arabian women ride astride, and she followed the custom of the country during the rest of her stay there. With the remembrance of the oomfort experienced on that trip she decided to adopt man s fashion in Chi cago, and did so, with the result that her example is being followed by a large and increasing number of women in the Windy City. CHIEF PENCIL PUSHER. Louis X. Megargee Is President of the In ternational League of Press Clubs. The members of the International League of Press Clubs, who have recent ly been enjoying the profuse hospitality of Philadelphia, did a graceful act in electing to the highest office in their gift Mr. Louis ' N. Megargee, who as president of the Pen and Penoil club is largely responsible for their entertain ment in the Quaker City. Mr. Megar gee, who succeeds Clark Howell of At lanta as president of the league, is one of the most widely known and popular newspaper men in the country. He is 88 years old and has been engaged in newspaper work ever since he was grad uated from the Philadelphia high school about 20 years ago. After an apprenticeship as a reporter on The Times he went to the Philadelphia Press in 1881 as oity editor, and in that position was distinguished for enterprise and thoroughness. In 1884 he went to The News, then under the management of Major Moses P. Handy, as managing LOUIS N. MEGARGEE. . editor, and two years later removed to New York. There he soon gained a reputation as a writer of extraordinary facility and felicity, and as a corre spondent for out of town papers was very successful. Three or four years ago he returned to Philadelphia to take the position of city editor of. The Times. Mr. Megargee is happily married and has five children. The International League of Press Clubs was organized five years agd, largely through the efforts of T. J. Kee- nan, Jr. , of Pittsburg. It has prospered exceedingly, and at its annual meetings all the principal local press clubs of the United States and Canada are repre sented. The objects of the league are to stimulate the spirit of fraternity and to promote the interests of newspaper work ers everywhere. One of its immediate objects is to establish a home for aged, and indigent journalists on Ramapo mountain, New York. The league ex peots ultimately to extend its influence across the seas and hopes, some day to hold a convention in Europe. There are ten "fruit schools" . in France where pupils are instructed prac tically how to cultivate and husband fruits. ' Cardinal DI Rend. Speculation on his successor by the pope himself is humorous and interest ing. Leo XIII smilingly told some car dinals recently that Cardinal Di Rende, archbishop of Benevento, would be the next wearer of the tiara. , On being ask ed why he thought so, Joachim Pecci looked round slyly at the cardinals and said : "Because he is the youngest The mortality among aged members of the sacred college is so great. " Cardinal Di Rende is one of the pope's favorites. He speaks English perfectly and was for some time attached to a church in the Marylebone road, London, and a pro fessor at the Westminster diocesan semi nary of St. Edmund's, Ware. He was afterward nuncio in Paris. He belongs to the Odescalchi family. The mention of his name by Leo XIII makes him top ical. New York Advertiser. We See All of the Sun.

St. Louis Repub lic . -. : . . , ' China's Boy Emperor In Danger. A letter dated Peking speaks of the disquiet felt among the Chinese on ac count of the reported change to be made in the ruler of the empire. The letter says: "The approaching celebration of the sixtieth birthday of the empress dowager promises to be a great event. Millions are being spent in preparation, but the country can ill afford the money. There is so much feeling that the air is full of rumors that there is to be a change of emperors. The present young fellow, was not the rightful heir, but was put on the throne by intrigue Many high officials, it is said, propose, as he has no son yet, to displace him and substitute one from another branch of the same family.
