j through a matrimonial agent the
introduction to his daughter of a
j German Baron, who is invited t

out of his dilemma and induces
Fritz to disguise himself as the
baron, and later mistaking Snitz
for Fritz he persuades the latter
to the same course. They both
meet the millionaire’s daughter
at different times, and she, too,
mistakes one for the other.
Both are endeavoring to win her
hand in marriage, -when the real
baron arrives. Consternation

A duo oa a torpedo boat has to catch

amount of slumber in little mosaics of

boat at sea is one of the principal rea
sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to
Manila had an itinerary arranged for it
which provided for 90 days spent in port
and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of res}
against 79 of active seagoing is calculat
ed to be about the limit of endurance of
a picked crew on a torpedo boat. A de

& torpedo float of a larger growth, and
not so much larger as to make any mate
rial difference in tha amount of discom
fort and strain put upon the crew, espe
cially where the theater of action Vs the
open ocean.
A man who has had much service on a
torpedo boat said to the writer:
“It is not only sleep with which yon
have to play catch as catch can on board
a torpedo boat, but you have to play tag
with your food as well. If there wa»
anything [Ike a sea on, we never used to
think of sitting down to table, but took
such food a3 we could gH in one hand
and ate it while we held on with the
other.
“A great part of the time cooking was
next to impossible, and cold canned
stuff, or what was left over of the-stuff
which had been cooked in port, had to
suffice us, and we grabbed that as wa
could and when we could.
“The cook always, or almost always,
used to make coffee for us, though how
he managed it was a mystery, for
though ha used to lash the coffea pot
to the top of the stove and toe down
the lid. the pitching and the rolling of
the boat in a heavy seaway would spill
a large portion of the contents of thepot
out through the spout.
“Then cookey would put a cork in
the mouth of the spout, and when the
boiling coffee generated steam enough
the lid would blow off. or the cork would
fly out. Altogether, it was only by tha
exercise of indefatigable energy and
skill of the sort which ought to have
been recognized in general orders that
finally enough coff-^e would be manufac
tured to give each man a cup.”

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION j
IK Warranted by Number ef Kalaert
Subjects at Present Kesidlnf ta
South America.
German migration to South.
America, and especially to soma
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Braail, according to the census
of 1390, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, but
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number leas than 3,000,000
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites! Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and !
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate o? the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
Italians tnree times as numer i
ous, as the Germans. Nor jet
are these Germans so massed in j
certain states as to form a ms-1
jority of their population, at j
some hare imagined. Germans
are most nuraerons in Rio j
Grande do Sul, where there are j
200,000 of them, but the whole j
population of the state is 900,000, j
so that the Germans are lest
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha-;
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,009, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed oat as ominaos
that these Germans continue to
use their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools, i
Well, the same may be said of |
Germans in New York, and la
Milwaukee, and in many othet
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany
hopes for in Brazil is not polit- j
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in-!
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed ia
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German man-1
ufactured goods. Every socalled
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case to«
much stress cannot easily be laid, j
l kjui uuiu xiqw.
There is a tree which grows la
Sumatra, Algeria and China which
in known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit is gathered is
November or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent
candles are made from the berries
of a tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
which is very agreeable in taste.
In Ceylon there is the breadfrntt
tree, from which a food is made in
the same way that we make bread.
It is said to be equally good and on
i tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.

Consumption
<| There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott’s Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil
lions of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
<J From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott’s Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.
IJ We will send you a
sample free.
