CHILD’S GIFT REAL CHARM
Rescued Father From Despondency
and Proved the Foundation
of Fortune.
A certain business man has a curi-
ous little charm for his watch chain.
He wouldn’t sell it for $1,000; no, nor
two, nor three. His little child gave
it to him one day when, as he says, ho
was “down.” - \
“I had lost every cent I had in the
world, and there at my desk, my head
on my arms, I was thinking of a possi-
ble way to end it, when my little child
came up to me and asked: ‘What does
“ruined” mean, papa?’ And then I
knew I had ben groaning loud enough
to be heard and understood. ‘You said
“ruined” paper. What does it mean?’
“ ‘It means I haven’t any money,
baby. Papa’s a poor man.’ The little
feet pattered away, then back again,
and here on my watch charm is what
she gave me. Not a great fortune—no,
but the foundation of one. Whatever
t’ve got since came from it, for it gave
me courage.”—The Christian Herald.
STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS
“Some nine years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that I could not sleep at
night. I consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but It got
worse, and I could not put my hands
in water. I was treated at the hos-
pital, and It was just the same. I was
told that It was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. I did so, and I
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep yrell, and did not have
any itching during the night. I began
after a while t<£ use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and I think by using
the Soap and Ointment I was much
benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought if I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. I used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.
“It is my wish that you publish this
letter to all the world, and if anyone
doubts it, let them write me and I
will give them the name of my physi-
cian, also the hospital I was treated
at.” (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley,

Funds to Fight Tuberculosis.
Based on reports from all parts of
the United States the National’ As
elation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis has issued a statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly $16,-
000,000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,000
spent in 1909. The largest item of ex-
pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals, $ll,876,50&|w^
lng expended for that purpose, 6t
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $760,500, and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $889,000. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1,750,000.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey of
the year’s work is the increase in the
percentage of public money spent.
While in 1909 53.5 per cent, of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent, came from public appropria-
tions in 1910. The actual amount of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267,900, or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
Indicates, the national association de-
■clares, that anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.

OLD COMMON 8EN3E.
Change Food When You Feel Out of
Sorts.
"A great deal depends upon yourself
and the kind of food you eat,” the
wise old doctor said to a man who
came to him sick with stomach trou
ble and sick headache once or twice a
week, and who had been taking pills
and different medicines for three or
four years. ,
He was Induced to stop eating any
sort of fried food or meat for break-
fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and
cream, leaving off all medicines.
In a few days he began to get bet-
ter, and now he has entirely recover-
ad and writes that he is in better
health than he has been before in
twenty years. This man Is 68 years
old and says he feels ‘Tike a new man
all the time.” -

*n Colony -
ASHINGTON has within its lim-
its considerable foreign terri-
tory. The residences of the min-
isters to the United States from
other countries are considered1
in a sense as alien ground, and
therefore, home sanctuary for
those who dwell therein.
The foreign official colony In
Washington forms a study of
life interest which is never
wearying to the native inhabi-
tants of the capital. “The for-
eigners are so different,” Is the
way that the natives put it. This
is true in a large sense, but in specific instances
the foreigners are not so different. Many of
them, especially those from Central and South
American countries, fall readily into the United
States habit of life, and seem to think, rightly,
doubtless, that as representatives of republics
they cannot do better than to follow the ways of
the people of the greatest republic of them all.
It is an utter mistake, and a very common one
-s.
among the people of the United States, to think
that because so many of the foreign diplomats in
Washington represent monarchies and have titles,
they are possessed of a certain high mightiness
that keeps them aloof from the democratic horde.
The stranger American who calls at any of the
embassies or legations is sure of courteous treat-
ment, which is not always forthcoming when a
call is made at an American home. Of course the
foreigners have a native courtesy which is inbred,
but unquestionably they have it impressed upon
them by their home government before coming
to this country that America is a democracy and
that they must remember that here all men are
considered equal. There are plenty of foreign
diplomats who will be hail fellows well met in a
crowd of Americans, but who in a crowd of their
own countrymen will be very careful to observe
distinctions of class, and hold It beneath their
dignity to show any familiarity with one held to
be inferior in social standing.
The diplomats in Washington are great stick-
lers for precedence among themselves. Length
of service in the capital is the thing that counts.
The ranking ambassador may be a mere mister,
but he has the privilege of precedence over an-
other ambassador who may be a count or a baron.
The importance or the -wealth or the strength of
the nation represented in Washington amount
to nothing where the question of priority of rank
among the representatives is concerned. Great
Britain ordinarily Is considered a much more
powerful and important nation in the world of
affairs than Austria-Hungary. Yet today in Wash-
ington the representative of the latter country
In official and social processions walks ahead of
the representative of the former country.
The ranking diplomat In the capital city is
Baron Hengelmuller von Hengervar, privy coun-
cilor, ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary of Austria-Hungary. The baron has been in
the diplomatic service of his country ever since
he was a youth, and he is the foreigner of longest
service in the United States. The home life of
the Baron and Baroness Hengelmuller is of the
proverbially Ideal type. In an article on the Aus-
trla-Hungarian ambassador, John Elfreth Wat-
kins Bays of the home of the diplomat:
“The embassy is a treasury of souvenirs of
sojourns among and intimate acquaintance with
the great personages who have Bhaped and are
shaping the history of the world. In the drawing
room are bronze busts of the emperor and the
late ill-fated empress, and upon one of the tables
Is a Jewel case presented by the queen of Saxony,
tn the dining room are displayed a profusion of
ancestral plate, and the portraits of all of the
J}V SAC Z&GSXTYOJV--
rulers of the house of Hapsburg from the eleventh
century down to Francis Joseph himself. Inside the
embassy the fads of the ambassador and his wife
are apparent, those of the ambassador being auto-
graphs and signed photographs qf the great ac-
tors in the theater of events; thole of the baron-
ess exotic plants, birds from the forests of dis-
tant countries, and dogs.”
It has been said that length of service In
Washington rules the matter of precedence
among the diplomats. It should be known, how-
ever, that ambassadors rank ministers, and so
It may be that the minister who has been here
for ten years must of necessity give way in the
social and official processions to the ambassador
who has just arrived. Senor Don Joaquin Ber-
nardo Calvo is the minister from the little coun-
try of Costa Rica. He ranks the representatives
of such nations as Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Den-
mark, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Spain and
Norway. Senor Calvo has been In America as
the representative of his country for eleven year£.
The minister from the little Central American
republic has many things to recommend him to
the interest of the people of the capital. It has
been said here many times that the family of
Senor Calvo could make a fortune on the vaude-
ville stage as musicians, for each one of the
twelve children plays a musical Instrument and is
possessed of a good singing voice.
The ambassador of Great Britain to the Unit-
ed States is the Right Hon. James Bryce, who is
known or ought to be known to all Americans as
the author of "The American Commanwealth.”
His length of service puts Mr. Bryce fourth In
the precedence list. He is ranked by the repre-
sentatives of Austria-Hungary, France and Rus-
sia. The British ambassador takes the keenest
Interest in social, political and governmental con-
ditions In America, and his wife is no less keenly
interested. Mr. Bryce is sympathetic with Ameri-
can Institutions.
All of the foreign diplomats in Washington
are democratic; at least while they are in the cap-
ital city. James Bryce is noticeably democratic; he
rides in a street car nine times where he rides
In a carriage once.
For five years Baron Rosen, master of the Im-
perial court, has been the ambassador extraordi-
nary and plenipotentiary of Russia to the United
States. It Is worth while to see Baron Rosen In
his regalia of state at one of the great White
House receptions. The Russians run to furs,
and the fur trimmings of the ambassadorial cloak
are both picturesque and priceless. While the
baron has been ambassador only four years, he
Is no stranger to this country. Nearly thirty.
years ago he was consul general of his govern-
ment In New York city. Later he was charge
d’affaires in Washington when Grover Cleveland
was president.
When the peace conference was on at Ports-
mouth, N. H., and an attempt was being made to
end the war between Russia and Japan, Baron
Rosen was one of the special conference envoys
of his government. This fact leads me to tell
a hitherto unpublished story of the Russian am-
bassador, a story which goes to show how careful
foreign diplomats of standing are to avoid all
possible chance of even personal difficulties with
individual Americans. It should be said, however,
that Baron Rosen, because of his natural in-
stincts, probably would have acted in this case
Just as he did even though he had not been the
representative ojC^the czar of all the Russias
One of Baron Rosen’s comrades on the peace
conference board was his fellow-countryman, the
Count von Witte. An American woman and her
little daughter were driving in a light buggy on a
road between Manchester-by-the-Sea and Ports-
mouth. All at once there came whirling Into the
road from a tree-lined lane an automobile which
struck the buggy, turned it over and threw
mother and daughter on to a grassy bank on the
side of the road. The shock of the collision
smashed the lighter vehicle so badly that the
horse was released, and It promptly ran away.
The automobile was stopped instantly and
two gray headed men jumped out and ran to the
assistance of the woman and child. Apparently
both were unhurt. The automoblllsts were pro-
foundly sorry, sympathetic and apologetic. They
took the mother and daughter in their machine
and whisked them five miles away to the nearest
doctor, who, after an examination, said that nei-
ther of them was hurt in the least. Then the
woman and the child were taken in the automo-
bile again and driven to their residence, which
was ten miles off. The occupants of the auto-
mobile said they must leave for an hour but they
would return. They entered their machine, drove
off and in Just one hour they were back.
It was subsequently learned that while they
were away they had given an order at a village
carriage shop for a new buggy to be delivered to
the owner of the one that had been demolished.
They found that the horse had returned unin-
jured to the stable. After doing these errands
the return trip was made to the home of the
woman and child. There they said that if the
slightest injury to either of the occupants of the
buggy resulted they stood ready to pay all dam-
ages which might be asked. They were assured
by the woman that no physical harm had been
done. The two automoblllsts apologized again,
bowed, andv handed their cards, on which were
Inscribed the names, titles and addresses of the
Baron Rosen and the Count von Witte.
The ambassador second in rank In Washing-
ton Is Mr. J. J. Jusserand of the Republic of
France. Mr. Jusserand is well known, not only
as a diplomat but for his literary attainments.
Like many other foreign diplomats in Wash-
ington, Mr. Jusserand married an American wife.
Perhaps it may be held by some people that
Mme. Jusserand Is not an American because she
happened to be born In Paris, hut both her par-
ents were Americans. The lis& of foreigners In
the diplomatic service who have married Ameri-
can women is a long one. Curiously enough, the
last two German ambassadors to American both
claimed brides on this side of the water. A good
many of these international alliances come about
In this way: The young foreign attaches of the
legations while on duty in Washington fall in love
with and marry American girls. Later in life,
when promotion in the service comes, they are
sent back as ministers or ambassadors to the
land where they married. Some people say that
this sort of thing makes tor International peace,
and perhaps It does.
