PEOPLE OF THE DAY The Tercentenary o& Quebec " An eveat of great interest to our nelgkborsacroes the border is the ter centenary celebration of the founding of Quebec In 1608 by Samuel de Cham pialn. The occasion will be made no itable by the tendance of the Prince Ct Wales, accompanied by Prince rArtlmr, only son: of the Duke of Con SAught, and an imposing suit, repre senting King Edward of England. An EABIi GBEY. elaborate programme has been pre pared for the reception and entertain ment of the royal guest, who will ar Tive on July 21 and remain until the EOtli of the month. Earl Grey, governor general of Can ada, who will be the host of the prince, is one of the most notable men In the British peerage. He has made Ihlmself known to the world In several ways as financier, philanthropist and Industrial reformer. He was asso ciated with Cecil Rhodes in the de velopment of South Africa and is ex ecutor of the will under which the iHhodes scholarships are assigned. His English estates comprise 18,000 acres, Jrom which he receives a large rev enue. Earl Grey is the fourth of his title, is in his fifty-6eventh year and was appointed to his present post about four years ago. A Good Dodge. ' Senator Elklns was congratulated at ia Washington dinner on his fine new yacht, the Marietta. From yachts to yachting clothes the transition was easy, and Senator Elklns told a story. "An old fellow," he said, "sat in a seaside cafe. He had finished lunch eon. He was now drinking champagne. "The sun shone on the white sand, the sea sparkled and. every little while the old fellow ordered another cold bottle "With the third order he said un easily to the waiter: "Walter, is my nose getting red? "Tea, sir,' the waiter answered; it is, sir, I'm sorry to say, sir.' " That won't do,' said the old fellow. That won't do at all. Walter, send out and get me a yachting cap.' " Unionism's Spread. John Mitchell, the miners' famous leader, was talking to a Pittsburg re porter about the spread of unionism. "Why," said Mr. Mitchell, smiling, "1 hear that in a Pittsburg school the oth er day, when the teacher told a little Jboy that he must stay in after school and rewrite a composition, the young ster flared up and answered stoutly: - What, And get put out of the schol ars' union for workln' overtime? Nitf Pittsburg Times. , Colonel Guffey of Pennsyfvanhu Colonel James M. Guffey of Pitts burg, whose recent attack on Mr. Bryan attracted wide attention, has Jieen prominent in politics for many years. Ia 1897 he succeeded the late iW. F. Harrity as member of the Dem ocratic national committee from the Keystone State. Mr. Guffey Is rated as a multtmil- He is sixty-nine years old JAMES M. GUFFEY. and began his business career as a railroad and express clerk in the south. Ia 1872 he returned to Pennsylvania, Ids native state, and since that time has been in the oil, natural gas and gold mining business. Since he became leader of the Penn sylvania Democracy he has made his influence, felt in state politics.

If a child's finger and toe nails are properly cared for from infancy the fingers will be a pretty sffape and the danger of ingrowing toe nails and other 1 ailments of the feet will be lessened. The finger nails should always be filed and not cut Filing the nails will keep them thin and delicate. The nails should be trimmed in an oval shape, and if the fingers are inclined' to be blunt this will often make them taper more. It is not wise to make the child nervous and cross by manicuring the nails for half an hour, for all that is necessary is to keep the nails clean and filed and the skin around the nail loose and pushed back. The toe nails may be cut, although the best method is to file them with a nail file or an emery stick. They should be cut straight across and not curved to the shape of the toe. Treatment For Burns. In cases where the burn is not seri ous enough to require the services of a doctor, alum will be found to bring speedy relief. Dissolve two ounces of alum in one pint of hot water. Satu rate cotton cloths in this solution and keep the burn well wrapped in them. The pain will eoon cease and the heal ing process will commence immediate ly. If alum !s not handy, use com mon baking powder. Sprinkle the burned surface with the baking soda and then cover with a wet cloth. When the burn is only slight the pain will cease immediately and but one application be necessary, but when the Injury extends deeper more time and a greater number of the baking soda applications will be necessary. The white of an egg also is excel lent for use on burns. Apply it with a soft brush or a wisp of old muslin. As soon as this dries put on another layer of the egg. ElectHb- Carpet Cleaner. Electricity is now being used to op erate carpet cleaners, A Pittsburg man recently patented the apparatus shown in the accompanying illustra tion, -which is more serviceable than the pneumatic cleaner for small houses. It resembles the familiar car pet cleaner In appearance. A motor operates a turbine and brush, the rev olutions of the latter agitating the nap of the carpet and loosening the dirt. The turbine creates a suction, drawing up all dust and dirt and depositing it in a dust receiver provided for the HYGIENIC rUSTBB. purpose. It is claimed that carpets can be thoroughly cleaned on the floor and every corner can be reached. Nothing need be moved. Attachable appliances are also provided for treat ing walls, ceilings, cornices, chande liers, curtains, etc Mattresses, cush ions, upholstered furniture and pillows can also be aerated as well as cleaned by this appliance. Th machine works noiselessly and quickly. Power to op erate the apparatus can be obtained from the ordinary Incandescent socket Knife and Fork Etiquette. There are many people who are care ful of their table manners who are often puzzled about certain little points of etiquette. When using both hnlfe and fork the knife is held in the right hand and the fork in the left When not using the knife It should be laid along the side of the plate with the blade pointing in; the fork Is then held in the right hand. In case the plate is passed for a second helping the knife and fork are laid side by side along the side of the plate, with the knife on the outside. Never hold the knife and fork grasped in the hand when passing the plate. For Brittle Nails. Brittle nails are often the result of having the hands in water too much or of using too strong soap. If the nails are inclined to be brittle it Is well to" wear rubber gloves when per forming any household duty which necessitates putting the hands in wa ter. Rub olive oil into the nails every night and then pull loose white gloves over the hands, and they will soon re gain their normal condition. Hands That Perspire. Perspiring hands are caused by a poor circulation sometimes and a phys ical weakness also. The only perma nent way to effect a cure Is to remove the cause, but the work may be helped by the use of a few drops of alcohol In the water and a careful powdering of the gloves every time they are worn. A Word About Mushrooms. Never warm up a dish containing mushrooms is the caution which physi cians give. The process of cooking is in itself proper, but after getting cold mushrooms are liable -to develop Inju rious properties and become hurtful. Therefore throw away any tfrnt may be left over. Nothing has ever equalled it. Nothing can ever surpass it. Dr. King's New Discovery ForC OI.0S 50c & Jl.00 A Perfect For All Throat and Cure : Lung Troubles. Money back if it fails.

What is most trying to me in my connection Is when I am requested to plfiy a sec ondary part to some unfortunate gen tleman who considers himself qualified i by nature to play the first part For ! this I need not say I exact a double . fee, but the wear and tear of my Teel-1 ings are more than proportionately se vere. The character -that Is sometimes af fected hv these deluded nersona is that ; of Sir Charles Coldstream in "Used Up." Military men in particular who have cultivated an Impassive manner and a drawling vofce are prone to im agine themselves fitted for this per formance, and many a fifty pound note have I had for playing thetJblacksmith to a very, very sad caricature of that pleasant baronet. I was asked to do so down at a cer tain great mansion at Richmond one Easter. At first I positively declined upon the plea that I was drawing large houses as Lord Fribble In my own theater and could not be excused, even for a single night, but the follow ing letter persuaded me to accede to the request: My Dear Blathers-You must corns, for there Is no man in England I can trust to play the blacksmith to my Sir Charles except yourself. As for your theater, that Is easily managed. Tour Lord Frib ble Is over by 10 o'clock; then Jump into a cab and catch the 10:30 to Richmond. "Used Up" will be made our last piece expressly to suit this arrangement, and you can change your costume In the cab or train. I Inclose check for 50, lest in my hurry and excitement on the night I should chance to forget It. Tours over, PLANTAGENET. As to dressing in the train, that was, not to be thought of, for only Imagine If there should be no compartment without a lady in ft! But to devote the half hour I had to get to the sta tion to dressing seemed feasible enough. It was true that the piece In which I played Lord Fribble was gen erally concluded by 10, but a few more minutes had to be allowed for in my case, since I always had to come for ward to acknowledge the calls from behind the curtain. Of course I might have omitted this, but no earthly con siderations, or, at all events, no con siderations with respect to an amateur performance at Richmond, would have induced Alphonse Blathers to commit such a discourtesy. At 10 .-05, then, on the night In ques tion I hurried from the theater In the splendid attire of Lord Fribble and jumped into the cab that was at the door in readiness for me, while an at tendant placed a carpetbag by my side containing the costume of the black smith. "Drive quick, sirrah," were my last words and "I'll make 'em spin, my lord" (in allusion probably to - the wheels), was the obsequious reply. My periwig was still on my head, though my blacksmith's clothes were on my body, when I passed through Waterloo bridge turnpike, and never probably had the tollman betrayed so much astonishment during his official duties as at the. moment when he re ceived my toll. But the next moment I had thrust it into the carpetbag with the rest of my fine attire and became,- with the help of a little lampblack,' as genuine a son of the anvil as any man whose car riage has broken down on the road would wish to see. The clock in the Waterloo road showed but fire minutes to the half hour, and all my thoughts were con centrated upon the question of whether I should reach the station in time. I did reach it in time, though with a minute or two only to spare, and, jumping out upon the platform, held out my hand with 2 shillings in it to the cabman. It is always my cus tom to pay such persons liberally, and at first I thought the cabman's aston ishment was due to the magnitude of the sum tbus offered to his notice. His eyes became the size of saucers, his mouth approached the dimensions of a punch bowl rather than those of a slop basin. "None of your blood money!" cried he. "Oh, mother of Moses, here's a villain been and murdered a hereditary nobleman! Police, police r At that fatal cry the porters, who, I must say, had not shown themselves very alert to take my carpetbag, began to gather around me, and at the same time an Inspector showed himself at the ticket office door. "That man is mad," said I, address ing, this official. "I have given him his fare and a shilling over, and he won't take It" But the cabman had by this time swung himself off his perch. "He has murdered a hereditary nobleman !" was that idiot's reiterated cry, which, be ing taken up by the porters, the pas sengers and the passe rsby, presently swelled into a tempest of accusation. It was vain for me in my black smith's garb to offer a syllable of de nial. My accuser was evidently actu ated by a genuine sense of Justice, and the fact of my having come In a cab at all seemed doubtless of Itself to demand an explanation. While I was thus m custody the doors were closed, the bell was rung, and my train started off to Richmond. Lord Plantagenet had to play Sir Charles that night without his black smith, and I will answer for it, though not a witness to the crime, that on the charge of murdering the baronet he would not before any Jury of critics have cleared himself so easily as I did from that of murdering a hereditary nobleman. The humor of the whole adventure was such that my own annoyance was soon forgotten In It, and I even em ployed the same driver to take me home who had 'conveyed me to the sta tion. London News.
