In reporting a war the first and most Important question naturally arises over the selection of correspondents. The number of men qualilied by nature nnd education for such a task is very limited. Your war correspondent must be physically capable of withstanding the hardships of the field. lie must bo also as courageous as any soldier. Indeed, his lot is an even harder one, because lie must put himself in places of tin? greatest danger without the pa triotic fervor, the touch of a com rade's elbow or the possession of a rille, all of which are large factors in making up a trooper's bravery. He must be capable of describing what he sees accurately and graphically, lie must have as large a perspective as the commanding general if he seeks to tell the whole story of the battle. But he may have all of these primal requisites and still prove a failure. He must be temperamentally a diplomat and capable of ingratiating himself into the sympathetic and helpful friendship of those with whom he comes in contact. lie may bo an ideal representative at the headquarters of an American general, but wholly in capable of serving satisfactorily with the Russians or the Japanese. As an illustration, all of our men on the Rus sian side speak either Russian or French. If they did not they would be useless. At least three of them ire long time personal friends of Gen eral Kuropatkin. Above all, the war correspondent must possess in marked degree that familiarity with events and affairs which will command the confidence of those in power about iiiai. His in fluence often extends beyond his pri mary mission of reporting and strays into the field of international diplo macy. For instance, during the lioxer rebellion in China one of the Associ ated Press correspondents was sought out and consulted by the commander of one power represented in the allied expedition as to his proper attitude to ward the military representative of an other power whose actions were caus ing grave concern in that delicate hour.—Melville E. Stone in Century. Ilnv r^ver, The season of hay fever is upon us, when the most superstitious of our friends will grow tired of invoking a blessing every time we sneeze. The custom, supposed to date from the time when Prometheus invoked a bless ing upon the figure of clay that came to life with a sneeze. Is condemned by St. Chrysostom and other early Chris tian writers. Still, the victim to hay fever may console himself for the lack of a blessing by the philosophy of the old English rhyme: Snooze on Mondnv, snooze for (limber Snooze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger Snooze on 'Wednesday, net a letter Snooze on Thursday, something better Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow Saturday, see your true love tomorrow. —London Chronicle. A I'arisiitii Story. A Paris youth named Armand Gaily killed his sweetheart and attempted to commit suicide. At his trial counsel for the defense described the youth as a poet and read a pathetic verse which he said he had written. The jury was touched and acquitted the prisoner. Now Viscount de Borrelli has written to the papers: "Here is an exceedingly humorous business. One Armand Gaily kills a woman and tries to kill himself, but of ecurso fails, as they always do. At the trial counsel reads, as being the work of his client, a poem by himself, published some three years ago in the Gaulois, and of course the jury acquits him. It ap pears to me that I deserve to be con gratulated in this matter." Victor Hugo's Hoiiae* The French literary hero worshipers are a serious lot. A proposal to place a bust of Victor Hugo in the court yard of the last house he occupied In Paris before going into exile in 18S1 brings to light a couple of curious facts. The house stands in the Rue la Tour d'Auvergue and is in much the same condition as when Hugo lived there. The concierge who let Hugo into his rooms is still concierge at uiuety-three, and the tenant who suc ceeded Hugo has never left. He is M. Robin, vice president of the Society For the Aid of Shipwrecked Seamen, lie is eighty-six. Hero worship seems to be preservative. Foreign Circus Performer* Although the circus is an institution peculiarly and typically American, over 00 per cent of the circus perform ers and specialists are foreigners. Mr. Bailey calls attention to this in his prospectus, stating that in Europe the struggle for existence is so sharp that people will attempt things in which failure means death and which no American would think of undertaking in order to lit themselves for the tra peze er the'ring of some American cir cus, where they are certain of a good salary.-—E. S. Hallock in Century. raKMiiiiii'H Violin. Koeian, the Bohemian violinist, wus the other day permitted to dr.aw a bow across Paganini's Guarnerius violin,' which for sixty-five years has been resting in a glass case in a Genoa mu seum. Ilerr Ivoelan pi ay oil one of Bach's airs and also a concerto of Pagarrini. The audience was greatly impressed. -The violin was then re placed in the glass box and again sealed in the' presence of tbe specta tors. PLAYS AND PLAYERS. New York is to have still another theater. Novell), the Italian actor, is suing Llebler & Co. for alleged breach of contract. It is stated that $10,000,000 was spent for tickets at New York theaters Vist season. The New Amsterdam aerial theater and gardens are proving a popular summer evening resort iu New York. David Helasco is to have two new stars next season. He is encroaching more and more into the trust's terri tory. Nance O'Neil has met with success on her Australian tour. Her last expe rience in New York must have been a severe disappointment for her. A. IT. Woods has arranged to star Elfio Fay in a musical comedy to be entitled "The Belle of Avenue A." Miss Fay's season will begin at Atlantic City, N. J. Miss Edna May, who went abroad at the close of her American season, is new in l'aris securing gowns for her forthcoming appearance in New York In "The Catch of the Season." Rose Coglilan is to star next season In "The Duke of Killicrankie," with which John Drew closed his last sea son at Shamokln, Pa. She will be un der the management of A. L. Shep pard. FOREIGN FACTS. Ilorse racing in Italy is dead since the introduction of automobile speed contests. Electrical machinery has taken the place of that driven by steam in sev eral of the principal mineral oil works in Scotland. The first cherries in the Paris market this year appeared on March 31. There were thirty-eight of thorn, and they were sold for iflo.GO. Known to have killed over ItOfl tier sons. a man eating tigress at Kadarina, in Burma, lias at last been killed by two English engineers. The Belgian parliament has passed a bill ordering seats to be placed at the disposal of shopgirls when they are disengaged during business hours. During the recent terrific storm at Constantinople part of one of the northern minarets of the famous mosque of St. Sophia was blown down. Cardinal Riclielmy has started a movement to raise funds to erect a monument to Columbus near St. Pe ter's, Koine, to commemorate the forr hundred and fortieth anniversary of the discoverer's death. EDITORIAL FLINGS. "The financial cancer is moving west," says a Chicago paper. Yes, there are thirteen bankers in the Ohio penitentiary.—Washington Post. Mrs. Chadwick is no doubt wonder ing how her little attack of hysterical finance came to be noted amid the general frenzy.—Washington Star. The conquest of peace may be made on the fields of Mars, but it is the jaw bone of the diplomat that arranges the thrifty details-Philadelphia Ledger. Russian terrorists assure General Trepoff that he is perfectly safe from attacks in the streets that they will shortly kill him in bed. The intensely cheerful part of this is that It is prob ably true.—Philadelphia North Amer ican. The strange thing about the times in which we live is that our churches and Sunday schools have made phe nomenal progress during the same years that our phenomenal growth in dishonesty has been made.—Los An goles Times. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Footing makes a cheap trimming for a white dress, but a very attractive one. Lightweight wash flannels have polka dots of color or white embroidered at regular intervals over the cloth. Many of the finest lawn and muslin gowns are trimmed with rutlles of fine brussels net, and this trimming is rec ommended for its delicacy and airy effect. The smartest glove this summer is undoubtedly the elbow length white suede inousquetaire. Silk gloves, espe cially those with lace tops, are almost as fashionable. The buttoned in the back lingerie waist cauy.es much woe by coining un fastened at inconvenient times. The bright woman learns to cut off the small pearl buttons as sooa as the waist comes from the shop and to sub stitute the more expensive but reliable embroidered or crocheted buttons.— iSew York Post. SALT WATER HINTS. Do not sit around in a wet bathing suit. After dressing a brisk walk is excel lent to restore the circulation. The first bath of the season should not be longer than fifteen minutes. Never take a sea bath directly after eating. Wait at least an hour, prefer ably an hour and a half. Never remain in the water longer than thirty minutes, or the benefit of the bath will he lost and the risk of ill ness be incurred.—Philadelphia Ledger. SISTERLY CITIES. Philadelphia should persist in Its ef fort to become respectable. It will find the experience agreeable as soon as It gets used to it.—Chicago News. Chicago and New York continue to talk about how big they are, while the rest of the country is talking, about how bad they are.—Washington Star. HOT SPRINGS!

Mr. Merchant, do you re alize that right now the harvest-time is at hand for yon? Careful buyers are already looking about preparatory to laying in their supply of dry goods for the fall and winter.
