A letter received at Dresden from Vienna gives some interesting gossip about the Austrian succession. In spite of official denials, it is not im- possible that there is some truth in the story recently published by the Neue Budapester Abendblatt of the al- ged intended abdication of the heir presumptive to the Austrian throne, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in favor of his nephew, the 15-year-old Archduke Charles Francis. There is no question that the young prince has for a couple of years past attracted a greatly enhanced interest in Austria- Hungary and that unusual care is now being bestowed upon his education, in view of his proximity to the throne. A few years ago when Francis Ferdi- nand’s health was very indifferent, his younger brother, Otto, the father of Charles Francis, was for a time in- formally put forward as the immedi- ate successor of Emperor Francis Jo- seph, Subsequently it was rumored that Otto had expressed his readiness to surrender his rhts in favor of his soy, an exceptionally handsome boy, whose’ bright, intelligent looks ar self-confident, good-humored expres- sion have already done much to en- dear him to the Viennese, In matters directly affecting the interests of the dynasty, not only the reigning sov- ereign but other members of the im- perial house exercise a considerable influence on such important decisions as those concerning the succession to the throne, and it is only a man of very strong will who can resist the urgent representations of a family of the imperial house, At present the succession to throne is provided for with perfect clearness, Archduke Francis Ferdi- nand, a nephew of the emperor, stands next in the order, and as he has for- mallyrenetneed datetime tothe estes cession on behalf of the issue of his Morganatic marriage council the with Countess So e Chotek, now Princess THoben berg, he would be succeeded by his brother, Otto, unless the latter should abdicate in favor of his son, TO REDUCE SOLDIERS’ BURDEN Army Officers Wresiling with Prob- lem of Lightening Weight Care ried by Infanirymen, Army oilicers are wrestling with the problem of reduci the weight Which must be curried by the infan- try soldier Phe que has com Up in connection with equipping that aria of the service with an intrench- in coustructing a hasty cover for the individual soldier or for a line of troops exposed to the enemy's fire, Without ling to the weight of the present equipment. The experiments which have been eond d with an instrument-combining the qualities of bayonet, knife and intrenching tool have not resulted in much to the favor of that device, and the depart- ment has now called upon the com- manding officer of the engineer school of application to submit samples of tools which, while ordin ed to be carried with the company equippage, may in emergency be transported by the individual soldier, In this connection it is interesting to know that the aggregate weight car- ried by the infantry soldier in heavy marching order is 76 pounds 15% ounces, MAN WITHOUT A “COUNTRY, Steamship Line menwiae Between New York and Havana Has a Very Troublesome Passenger. y expect- Traveling back and forth on ships which ply between Havana and the port of New York city, Constantino Garcia,-a-native Cuban, is affording the steamship companies much trou- ble and proving himself to be a man without a country.

At Havana, the Cuban officials re- fused him landing because he was practically a stowaway.

An unmarried woman whom I knew when I was in Germany says one of the pro- fessors spent every morning in the kitchen of her apartment cooking for herself, and when I asited her whiy she did it she said it was because it was womanly, “T saw a man and his wife in Leipsie buying kitchen utensils together. The wife was not considered capable of buying them alone. Women should be willing to cook and dust if it is neces- sary, but they should realize that it is not an intelectual occupation and endeavor to broaden the mental hori- zon, “T wonder if we would have much respect for the men of our families if the conditions had been reversed. Suppose men had_ been educated in singing and dancing, and, say, harness making, “Suppose, after having obtained his education, a man devoted himself to currying his horses, polishing har- nesses, and making horseshoes, and seldom went out except to buy hay and oats, and then discussed with the people he met only ther kes of the stable boys.

It seems natural to give the broader edi jon to men, for they are the br vinners, but the women should have the best, for they must educate their children, and t) ey have the narrower lives, “It is to be hoped that the greater number of college women will sper tl ives in their homes, for we war the children of col educate mothers, Many peo; think tha household duties should be t college, eases can be stimulated long enough to carry the patient over critical Ve riods?” This was the problem that Prof. Jacques Loeb has outlined to his class in physiology at the University of Chicago. Dr. Loeb had been discussing the st imulating effect of certain solutions upon various muscles. In the course of his lecture he spoke of the €xperi- ment of Kovalefski, a Russian sci- entist, who had taken the hi ofa child dead a day and a half and by immersing it in a solution of-sodium and calcium salts had caused it to resume a rhythmic contraction, Dr, Loeb himself, in his paper read bee fore the American Society of-Physi- ologists last January, described his own experiments, in which -he had made the hearts of turtles and other cold blooded animals, and even the muscles of mammals, beat regularly by immersion in various salt solu- tions, “In certain acute diseases, for ex- ample pneumonia,” continued Dr. Loeb, “there occur crises in which the heart action becomes extremely faint by reason of the cessation of stimuli from the brain. It is in such crises that death ensues, If, now, the action of the heart could be tem- porarily strengthened during that crisis many deaths could be prevent- ed, We have shown that certain salt solutions can stimulate muscle ac- tion, It is now the problem for sci- entists to devise a means whereby these solutions can be so injected into the heart as to-have the desired stimulative effect, When they do that we can save many lives.” Similar experiments to that of Kovalefski are being carried on at the University of Chicago, but defin- ite results are not yet available, Dr, i. P, Lyons, who has been conduct- ing some of the experiments, is at present at the great marine labora- tory in Naples working over, impor- tant problems of life phenomena. FIND AZTEC TREASURE.

Glove-Demoorat. Frank James, who was in St. Louis yestérday, says the pardon granted Cole Younger is far from adequate, Among the restrictions imposed is one forbidding Younger to appear on the stage. “This will deprive Cole Younger of any way of making a living,” said night. “Cole is now 60 years old. He has no trade. He understands no pro- fession. He ia not able to cope with the world in a business way. He is too old to perform hard manual la- bor. Now what is he going to do? “Setting him free is just like allow- ing a man to go to heaven without allowing him to participate in the enjoyment of being there among the angels, “Younger is not really free, are still strings to him. “Lhave an idea that he does not know how hard it is to get along in the world yet. He had been shut up within prison walls for over a quar. ter of a century prior to his parole. He will not find the world to-day like it was years ago. “I feel very sorry for Younger un- der present conditions. He oughtto insist upon being granted absolutely free citizenship, or perhaps it would have been better for him td have re- mained in prison. “T understand he will return to his sister's home at Lee’s Summit.”’ There “T have certainly found it herd work tc win the confidence of the world at large,” continued Mr. James, who now wears the garb of a prosperous business man. “I was fully 40 years old before I undertook to cope with the business world.

Congress wasa long time in findinga satisfactory militia measure, but got together a few days ago and the bill that was passed, having received the president’s signature, is now a law. By the national constitution, con- gress is given power “to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insur- resctions and repel invasions,” and “to provide for organizing, arming and negeaynie the prpronn and din be employed in the service of pr United States, reserving to the states respectively the appointment of the officers, and the authority of train- ing the militia according to the disci- pline prescribed by congress.” The new lawin no way interferes with state functions. Its object is to pro- vide the national guard with better and uniform arms, toencouragejoint camps of instruction in which the militia and regulars will take part. together in maneuvers aud practice marches, In time of war the presi dent may call on the national guard for nine month’s service within the boundaries of the country. and when volunteers are summoned for service outside of United States territory the militia regiments will have the equipments to be furnished the state militia by the national government will be of the regular army pattern, and the tactical organization will be the same. The president of the United States is the: commander in chief of all the _of the country, -but- there is nothing in the new law to interfere with the prerogatives of the different states. It offers advant- ages, however, for efficiency. Shar- ing in the national appropriations, one of $2,000,000 having already been made, will depend on proper compliance with the rules laid a for re-equipment and discipline. Is will rest with a governor whether the militia of his state shall, ‘take part in the periodical joint camp of instrac- tarting point in the matter sefar as his own state is concerned. When the Span- ish war occurred the yational guard was armed with six t patterns of rifles, requiring as many kinds of ammunition, which would be a dan. tion; — i biennial message Gov. Dockery said: “T most earnestly recommend a lib- eral appropriation forthe support of the national guard. I believe with Thomas Jefferson in a well or, ed and well-equipped militia.” Mis- souri must wake up on this subject or be left conspicuously behind in the soareh of progress. Don’t Gossip.
