Why is the demand for

Because housekeepers, after
using it for years, and com-
paring it with others, know it

GLADSTONE’S veer.

HIS HABITS OF LIFE NOWADAYS
AT HAWARDEN CASTLE.

Secrets of His W'onderful Vitality. Mrs.
Gladstone’s Part in Saving Him from
Vexation. His Newspaper Reading.
Stead’s Last View of the Great Liberal.

As the westering sun sinks to its set-
ting, a white haired old man comes
out from his library and seats himself
on the stone steps that lead from the
castle front to the lawn. He carries in
his hand a book in which, as soon as he
has seated himself, he is completely ab-
sorbed. The old man is Mr. Gladstone,
the book he is studying is one of the
innumerable volumes which he is de-
vouring in the prosecution of the study
to which he has devoted his closing
years, and he seats himself upon the
steps in order that his impaired eye
sight may catch and utilize the last
rays of the setting sun. The old states
man, scholar and student to the last.
is now 86 years of age, but his intellec-
tual vigor is not abated, nor has he lost
the sinewy grip with which he fastens
upon the subjects to which he devotes
his attention.

Over the mantelpiece in Mr. Glad-
stone’s bedroom there is emblazoned a
text which explains a good deal Of the
tranquility which has saved Mr. Glad-
stone from nervous exhaustion. The
text runs: “Thou wilt keep him in per-
fect peace whose mind is set on
Thee.”

If Mr. Gladstone’s simple but fer—
vent religious faith is the first element in
the secret of his continued and con-
tinuing vigor, the second place must be
awarded to the happy influence of a.
fortunate marriage. If Mrs. Gladstone
had been a cleverer woman she might
have been less helpful, for some natures
have such an overpowering individuali-
ty of their own that what they seek in a
companion is not a positive so much as
a negative capacity. As iron sharpen-
eth iron so a. man .sharpeneth the coun-
tenance of his friend; but Mr. Glad-
stone was not particularly in need of
being sharpened, but he was in need of
being rested. Therefore, Mrs. Glad-
stone was not so much as a sword blade
clashing with his, as the scabbard of his
sword.

Mrs. Gladstone, however, rightly or
wrongly, held the view that it was
the wife’s duty to make life as
“cushiony” as possible for her husband;
she would display a world Of patience
and cunning diplomacy to keep any dis-
agreeable thing out of 'his way, even to
the extent of sitting down upon the
Times for the whole evening if it should
containran article‘t‘that was calculated
to ruffle his equanimity.

Besides these two, his religion and
his wife, the two outside influences
which kept Mr. Gladstone in perennial
youth by minimizing the worry of life,
and lubricating the rapidly revolving
wheels of this human dynamo, Mr.
Gladstone had various habits which
conduced greatly to his longevity and
physical vigor. First of these unques-
tionably is the gift of sleep, a gift he
shared in common with Napoleon and
other notable commanders in history.
Mr. Gladstone throughout the whole of
his life had sleep at instant command;
he could go to sleep at a moment's no-
tice, and, what is more remarkable,
wake up bright and fresh within ten
minutes of going to sleep.

Mr. Gladstone, although not a tee-
totaler, has never emulated the ex-
ploits of some of his more bibulous pre-
decessors.
teetotaler, he is at least a total ab-
stainer from tobacco; he neither snuflfs,
chews or smokes either pipe, cigar or
cigarette. Nothing has induced him to
yield to the seductions of the fragrant
weed. Anotherlquality of his was the
rare gift of concentration. The bump
of concentration must, if there is any-
thing in phrenology, be enormOusly de-
veloped. “Whatever the work may be
he has in hand,” said a recent visitor at
Hawarden, “it takes hold of him so en-
tirely that he has to be roused from it
as most are roused from sleep.” This
enabled him to be almost totally indif-
ferent to his surroundings, a faculty
simply invaluable to him, when, as
leader of the House Of Commons he had
to sit for hours listening to the monot-
onous drone of irrelevant debate.
While able to concentrate himself so
absolutely upon the subject in hand as
to be oblivious of all the world, he was
capable with the utmost ease Of varying
his subjects. It has long been his habit
always to have three books in reading
at the same time.

Another achievement that must be
taken into account is the immense di-
versity of interests which Mr. Glad-
stone enjoys in life. He touches life at
every side, with the exception of rac«
ing’ or gambling, and wherever he
touches it he thrills responsive to its
touch. Merer to be Prime Minister of
the Queen is of itself sufficient to pro-
vide topics of interest for any ordinary
person for the rest of his life. But Mr.
Gladstone was never able to devote
more than a section of his time to poli-
tics; he has probably spent more time
over Homer than he ever did over the
question of Parliamentary reform, and
at all times his interest in theology out-
his interest in mundane
affairs.

Putting ‘ all these things together,
they explain how it was that Mr. Glad-
stone, in the midst of the turmoil of
party politics, has ever been able to
preserve an equable and tranquil soul,
while his observance of the laws of
health, regularly exercised, and the
continual variety of interests, enabled
him to keep his mind brightly furnished
to the last—W. T. Stead. .

FINEST IN THE WORLD.

Such Will Be the New York Athletic Club-
house Now Building.

The New York Athletic Club, com-
posed of over three thousand members,
will experience the gratification of
having the best equipped and up to
date building of its kind in the world,
and one which will be an ornament to
the metropolis from an architectural
point of view. ilome idea. of what the
new building will be like can be gath-
ered from the brief description of the
principal features. The style ' may be
termed “Mooresque.” There will be
eight stories, situated on the Southeast
corner of 59th street and Sixth avenue,
having a frontage on the Park of 170
feet by 100 feet on Sixth avenue, and
being 300 feet in depth on the easterly
side, with a front of 58th street 30 feet
wide. .

The club-house will contain six bowl-

ing alleys, a swimming bath, 25 by '75
feet; Turkish baths, with separate
plunge; barber’s shop, and a billiard
rOom, containing 13 tables. The gym-
nasium is situated on the fourth story,
and will be 116 feet long by 58 feet
wide and 30 feet in height. The run-
ning track will be sixteen laps to the
mile, and. with the fencing, boxing and
lounging rooms, will occupy the fifth
floor.

The main dining room will be 116
feet long by 40 feet wide, and in addi-
tion there will be five private dining
rooms. The roof will be divided up
into a laundry and drying room‘ and
roof garden. ‘

The interests of the cycling division
have been studied by the plans to ac-
commodate 750 wheels in the storage
room, which will be connected with
58th street by a. runway. In addition
there will be a repair shop and cleaning
room.

Card rooms, reading rooms, library,
cafe, Officers’ rooms and private apart-
ments complete the building, which
when finished will have cost $680,000.
It is expected‘that the new building
will be complete by July 1, 1897.

Presence of Mind,

A person who knows exactly the right
thing to do in a sudden emergency,
without stopping to think at all, de-
serves to have his presence of mind
noted and commended. A German
drum major has lately attained such
distinction, with good reason.

A regiment Of the imperial army,
resting on a country road, was appalled
to see a great bull madly pursuing a
little child in a field which was near by,
and yet so far away that the child could
not be reached in time to save. it, nor

,yet saved by the shooting of the ani-

mal.

The bull had his horns down, and all
the soldiers were horrified to see that
in another moment the child must be
gored to death. For an instant no one
seemed to know what to do, and then
the drum major, shouted to the buglers
of the band, who stood near by with
their instruments in their hands, to
sound a loud blast. They looked
aghast.

“Sound, I say, for God’s sake, to save
the child I” he repeated.

Then the buglers blew a blast at the
top of their lungs. The drum major
knew that animals of the cow kind are
so much affected by strange and high
pitched musical sounds that they seem
compelled to imitate them. This bull
proved to be no exception to the rule.

As soon as he heard the bugle blast
he paused in his pursuit of the child,
glanced toward the band, raised his
head, and began to bellow madly. The
buglers kept up as high and discordant
a tumult as they could, and meantime
soldiers were ruunning to the rescue of
the child.

Before the bull had finished his atten-
tion to the bugles the child was in a
place of safety”

The Neutrality Laws.

What constitutes a “military expe-
dition”? That is the question upon
which the enforcement of the neutrali-
ty laws of the United States turns.

Those laws prohibit as a high misde»
meanor the setting on foot or preparing
the means for, within the territory or
jurisdiction of this country, any “mili-
tary expedition” or enterprise to be
carried on against any government
with which we are at peace. It is ’a
matter of common notoriety that a
number of expeditions, fully supplied
with arms, have left American ports
for the assistance of the Cuban insur-
gents, and the vessels concerned have
returned sometimes. as in the case Of
the steamer Bermuda, to carry out an.
other party.

It does not follow that our govern-
ment has been remiss in fulfilling its
international obligations. It has given
its officers orders to maintain a strict
watch all along the Atlantic seaboard,
and it has acted promptly on all,the it;-
formation which it has obtained re.
garding suspected expeditions. Yet in
only a single instance,
captain and mates of the Horse, has it
seemed the conviction of any person
for violating the neutrality laws.

LOST IN A CAN OF TOMATOES.

When the Can was opened the Watch Be
gun to Tick.

The finding of a gold watch and chair
in a can of tomatoes by an Indianapol‘
woman brings out a remarkable story.
The find was reported and the circum.
stances noted in the Indianapolis News
and the next day a young woman who
woman who is employed in a cannery
appeared at the ofice and identified the
watch and chain.

She lost them two years ago she said,
and while employed at the factory. She
did not know she lost them, and adver-
tised at the time for several days. She
says this would have discovered the
property if it had not been sealed in a
can in a storehouse. She had long ago
bought a new one.

The lost one was dearer to her, how
ever, both because it was prettier and
because it was given to her. Her theo-
ry is that the watch and pendant chain
dropped from her belt into one of the
elevator buckets of tomatoes, was car-
ried to the filler and Went through the
filler to the can.

The bow, or ring, which connects the
watch and chain was not found, and it
is believed that this part was not solid
gold, and was, therefore, eaten by the
acid of the tomatoes. The main spring
was broken, but everything else was in—
tact during the two years’ handling of
the can, and the watch is again as good
as new and is keeping good time.

HOW TO ACQUIRE GRACEFULLNESS.
Hints to Women Who Want to Look
Pretty on their Wheels.

Of the multitude of women who are
now cycling, there are only a. few who
have acquired a really graceful style of
riding. Whether it is because the
greater proportion are still in their no-
vitiate, or that the majority strive after
speed before all else, can scarcely be
decided; it is certain, however, that
there is a great deal of room for im-
provement in this respect.

The oft repeated statement that a
woman cannot look graceful on a bicy-
cycle is a fallacy, the only thing that is
needed is a sense of fitness on the part
of the rider, and a proper adjustment
of the machine.

Some woman have an idea that any
costume will do, so that the skirt is

One must have a special costume for
cycling, just as for equestrianism.
Feathers, flowing skirts, capes, and a
hundred and one other articles of dress
look just as out of place on a bicycle as
on a horse. A plain narrow skirt, not
too short, held in place by a pair of
dress holders, a. smart Norfolk jacket,
a. neat hat, untrimme‘d, save for a nar-
row band, and, perhaps, a quill, plain,
black shoes and stockings, a well prac-
ticed ankle action, a straight back, and
you will look equally graceful as when
indulging in any other recreation.

The Pretty lgurmese \Vomen.

No Mongolian ”can be beautiful ac-
cording to the European standard, but
apart from this standard there is much
to admire in the Burmese girl. A round
face with olive skin and dark bright
eyes, is surmounted by coils Of smooth
black hair, in which is jauntily stuck a
flower or two. The upper part of the
body is modestly covered with a. white
cotton jacket. Bound closely round
her slender hips and falling to the
ground is worn the tamein, or skirt,
which is generally of silk, woven into a
brilliant and harmonious combination
of colors. A gray colored silk wrap is
thrown across the shoulders and brought
over the head when it is cold. Sandals
held by a. strap between the big and
second toe protect the feet. All women
young and old, smoke immense green
cheroots.

It is not at all unusual to see a bevy
of women and children dressed as bril-
liantly as a bed Of tulips on a spring
day, engaged in puffing great clouds of
smoke out of cheroots twice as long as
their smiling, pretty faces, The child-
ren of the poor go absolutely naked till
about ten years of age. They do not
even wear the necklace of beads or the
piece of string and a rupee which pass
for costume in Bengal. The men are as
brilliantly dressed as the women. Their
long black hair is gathered into a knot
beneath the folds of a pink silk turban.
A white jacket and pasoh make up the
costume. The pasoh is a shirt made of
a single width of silk about five yards
long. Brought close around the hips.
It hangs in full folds in front. The fa-
vorite color is rose pink, woven into
plaids, stripes and checks.

Holes in the Sails for Speed.

The statement of an Italian sea cap
tain that he had proved by experience
that a ship goes faster when her sails
are perforated with a number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was at
first looked on as too ridiculous for con-
sideration. Unbelievers,however,'now
find that the'Italian has nearly succeed-
ed in proving his case. His theory- is
that the force of the wind cannot fairly
take effect on an inflated sail, because
of the cushion of immovable air that
fills up the hollow. To prevent this
cushion collecting, he bored a number
of holes in the sail, which let part of the
wind blow right through it and allowed
;he remainder to strike against the can-
:as and exercise its full effect. Several
’.'lkllS have been made, and it looks as
. this is another of those paradoxical
ruths which appear so impossible on
;he surface. The experiments were
made in all weathers. Inalight wind

and ten knots respectively. If this aug.

And Just as Bad—You Can Fmd
Them in Norwalk as Well
as Florida.

 

Ever see an octopus? All arms, you
know.

Has eight Of them—and all bad.

Do you know how it catches its vic-
time?

Throws out an arm, then another,
and another.

And you’re in the toils.

Then it drags you down to death.

Just like Kidney disease.

Seizes you with backache first.

Then acute pains.

Then urinary disorders.

Then sediment or gravel.

’Ihen Diabetes, or Bright’s Disease.

Then, the cemetery.

Not pleasant reading, is it?

Well the disease isn’t pleasant either.

We know what will kill this octopus.

Doan’s Kidney Pills do it every time.

Nor-walk people know it too, new.

You read about it every day-and it’s
so.

Here is Norwalk testimony. Miss
Hanna Cline resides at No. 58 Belden
avenue. Her mother says: “Mydaugh-
ter has had. a weak back. Has been
troubled with backache. Went to Hale’s
drug store. Got a box of Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills. The Pills cured her." -

What better proof than this of merit,
home testimony, the statement of a
Norwelk citizen. ’1‘is easy to endorse
it, and there are many more, just like
this, which render doubt out of the
question. Ask your neighbors if they
have used Doan’s Kidney Pills, and if
they have you are not forced to take
our recommendation; take theirs and
we are satisfied.

All those terrible, itching diseases of
