First Lady Diplomat. 1t 18 not America but Europe that is to be first to recognize the.petticoat diplomat. Brussels, in Belgium, is to ‘be the place where this recognition is to take place. Dr. Luisl, minister plenipotentiary, representing officially the Republic of Uruguay, has present- ed proper papers to King Albert of Bel- glum, and will hereafter be received at court with all the honors given to ambassadors and ministers of foreign powers. And this South American dip- lomat is a'woman, Mademoiselle Clo- tilde Luisi, doctor of laws of the Uni- versity of Montevideo. .The new min- ister is young, unmarried and, it is sald, pretty. The secretaries and at- taches of the different embassies at Brussels are now striving in gallantry to make favor with the first woman to arrive at a dignity which had appar- ently never even been thought of by the most audaclous suffragettes. “Titanic” as Baby’s Name. A baker, on registering the birth of his daughter, at Arad, in Hungary, in- formed the registrar that he intended to have her christened Titanic, as she was born on the day the White Star lner sank. The official, however, re- fused to accept this name, as it is not to be found in the calendar of Ro- man Cathollc saints’ days, and the baker had to content himself with the less topical name of Rosalia. In this case the rule of the church, which is upheld by the state, saved the child from bearing through life an appella- tion which is not only unsuitable, to say the least of it, for g little girl, but would also recall for many years one of the most traglc disasters of mod- ern times. Sometimes,-however, the rule operates rather hardly, as when recently a Viennese was not allowed to have his child christened Daisy, after her mother, who is an English ‘Wwoman. Elephant Most Intelligent. The elephant is by a long shot the most intelligent animal under man. Bome horses know a great deal, Some dogs are exceedingly bright, but for real sound sense and aH-around long- headedness the elephant heads the list. He is not only bright, he is a deep thinker and profound philoso- pher, and has been known to do things that apparently required noth- ing less than human intelligence. Read the books that have to do with animal intelligence, with the wonder ful things that our dumb fellow-beinge have done, and while you will find much_to the credit of the dog, hors¢ and other animals, you will be Iim pressed with the fact that, next te¢ man, the brain-power of the elephan/ 18 the greatest among them all, Practical Motor Ship. ‘Without funnels, coal, firemen and smoke the forerunner of the new mo- torship has arrived. The Danish Hast Asiatic Company has made a practi- cal test with a new boat of ten thous- and tons displacement. The ship is an ofl burner and is, in fact, an im- mense motor boat driven by engines somewhat similar to those in use up- on motor cars. The engine room has the advantage of plenty of light, no oppressive heat, and but little noise. Hs oll tanks, at the keel, carry suffi- clent fuel for a cruise around the ‘world. Joy In Being Close to the Eartn. The average autochthonous Irish- man is close to patriotism because he Is close to the earth; he 1s close to domesticlty because he is close to the earth; he is close ia doctrinal theology and elaborate ritual because ke is close to the earth. In short, he 18 close to the heavens because he is Is close to the ecarth.~G. K. Chester fon. Neither Meant Much. Grant Duff relates a conversation Iwhich prevents swearing 1in its most tommon light—the swearing for swear- Ing’s sake. “Oh, Mr, —, I wish you would not use such dreadful language. It gives me real pain” was the pro- test. And this the apology: “Pray, don’t mind. I swear and you pray, but peither of us mean much by it"— London Chronicle, Possible Career for Him. “Professor, I know my boy is rather slow, but in the two years that you bave had charge of his education he must have developed a tendency in some direction or other. What occu- pation do you suggest as & possible outlet for his energles, such as they are?” “Well, sir, I think he is ad- mirably fitted for taking moving plo- tures of a glacler.” HOW TO SUGGEED During the last few years, condi- tions in all lines of business, even professional life, have changed so completely that every man is waking up to the fact that in order to win success he must specialize and learn to do some one thing and do it well. So it is with any article that is sold to the people. It must have genuine merit or no amount of advertising will maintain the demand for the ar- ticle. For many years we have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. From the very beginning the proprietors had so much confidence in it that they in- vited every one to test it, free of cost, before purchasing. It is a physician’s prescription. They have on file thousands of let- ters received from former sufferers who are now enjoying good health as a result of its use. However, if you wish first to try a sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and mention this paper. They will gladly for- ‘ward you a sample bottle by mail, ab- solutely free. > Regular gizes for sale at all drug- gists—fifty cents and one dollar. ONLY /NEEDED TURNING OVER m%uy Frequently Effective Withy mall Boy Worked Well With Recaloitrant Mule. |, A mule drawing a furniture vam down Broadwdy got tired of the Joby and lay-down. Soon a crowd gathered and ventured all manner of advice to, the driver, relates the New York Times. ' Louls Scheff, an electrician, of 153 Amsterdam avenue, suggested that twisting the mule’s ears would force it to rise, and put his idea into prac- tice, but ineffectually, while the crowd shouted “Whisper in its ear.” Scheff next tried pulling the mule’s tall. Mrs. Anna Schott of 304 Omster- dam avenue, a passenger on a Broad- way surface car, who i8 a member of the Humane soclety, construed the electriclan’s efforts as cruelty and had Bcheft arrested. Detective Sharp of the West Sixty- elghth Street station, who comes from the south and knows mules, took one look at the fallen mule and said: “You'll never get that mule up—it'a lying on its left side.” “What's that got to do with 1t?” de: manded the driver. “Everything,” replied Sharp. Ropes were tled to the mule’s hoofs, and it was turned over on its right side. Sharp gently kicked the animal in the side and it scrambled to fits feet, HIS SYMPATHIES WITH ELK Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Res- cued Engineer From Extremely Awkward Positlon. A curious story of adventure comes from Montana. While & freight train was lying over at a small mountain station, the engineer borrowed a shot- gun and started out for a short hunt. Finding nothing, he was returning to the train when a cow came running at him, and before he realized his dan- ger, she tossed him in the air. Getting to his feet as quickly as possible, he dodged behind a tree, and then, to his dismay, found that the gun barrel was bent so as to be useless. The next ten minutes were very lively ones, while the cow chased the englneer round and round the tree. Just when he was about to suc- cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was heard, and a big elk appeared upon e scene, head down and prepared for a fight. So was the cow, and in another mo- ment the two animals dashed at each other. The engineer watched the com- bat for a few minutes, until prudence suggested that he should make .a re- treat as soon as he could. He re gained the train in safety, and never know the outcome of the battle, but he hopes the elk was the victor. The Dancer, “His little slanting eyes followed the butterfly movements of Lan-Tin here and there, the free toss of her little head and the gracqful abandon of her arms as she flung them over her head, and again brought them down with a sweeping bend to the very ground. Lan-Tin forgot the maandarin and all bis regal magnificence. She was play- Ing a pretty little game of make-be- lleve. She was the wind blowing through the plum tree. Tossing ot B Ewirling, Hending ot did the droop- Ing branches, waving slowly, rushing Rercely like a tiny whirlwind. With flushed: cheeks and glowing' eyes she Wwas the spirit of the wind. ; © “Then. a ' funny thing happened. on the perfumed Chinese night came the sound of loud hand-clapping and deep, strange voice shouting ‘Bra: She dropped down on & cushion, Ro longer a wind fairy, but' a little wilted flower.”—From “The Tale of Little Lan-Tin,” by Flo Hingler. Al i Useful Accomplishments. ; Every woman wants a cozy corner BIl her own—be that corner humble or handsome, Every woman whe does not,have the home longing is abnormal. Home i8 made up of little things. One of the largest of these little things is the ability to cook whole- some food. Sewing and music are next. A wom- 8n might be as homely as can be, but If she can oeok a good dinner, make & dress, and let her moods slip out of her finger tips on ‘a piano, that wom- an will have a chance for a truly hap- py home a thousamd per cent. better than her beautiful meighbor who can- pot make even am apron, and who cooks badly for her family. So I say to mothers, whether you have money or not, teach your daugh- ters all the wuseful and necessary things in life, so that they will make good, homelike wives and mothers.
