An excellont IliuHiratlon of Iho
complicated racial anccatry which
gocit to the making of an American Is
given by a correspondent of the New
York Sun In a letter whlmalcally aa-
aertlng that Iho new Spanish heir la
logically an American. The corre-
apomJcut, who la a cltlasen of tliia
country, aaya thnt ho waa born in
Spain ol au Kngllah mother and a
Spanish father while his parents were
vlBltlng that country; one of his
grandparents was (icrAian, another
Austrian, a th|rd French, and the
fourth Spanish. The blood of tho
prince of the Asturlas is almost of the
same strain aa his. The queen of
Spain la Kngllsh with a German
■father. Most of the ancestors of the
king of. Spain were Spanish for sev-
eral generations, but his mother was
an Austrian. Of comae American
citizenship Is not a matter of blood,
but of allegiance. If the little prince,
in hia mature years, should grow tired
of Spain, he could qualify as an
American citizen by living here and
taking the proper oaths.

MAKES MONEY FLY IN
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
•HE latest "Droadway Monte Carlo" ment In Paris. A few weeks ago. for
has been discovered.
Everybody in the white light district
Is amazed at ihe lavish expenditures
of Oliver Barnes, the 22-year-old
grandson of Col. Oliver Weltlon
Barnes, builder of the famous Horse-
shoe curve on the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
Mr. Barnes. It Is estimated by those
who have kept careful account of his
public spendings, has been gating rid
of about $5d0 a day in his "inalienable
right," the pursuit of happiness. In
addition he has periodically disposed
iof tens of thousands of dollars in var-
ious ventures, in connection with Wil-
son Mlzner, ex-husband of Mrs.
Yerkes, of the Hotel Rand, at Forty-
ninth street and Broadway.
Since Mr. Barnes has been in New
York his daily expenditures have been
punctuated by little breakfasts and
vaudeville entertainments for which
he has paid as lavishly as did Count
Boni de Castellane for similar amuse-
instance, Mr. Barnes gave lo a few
footlight favorites a small breakfast
for which he checrfully paid $1,G00.
Last week he was the delighted host
at a little vaudeville cafe, the cost of
which from three a. m. till six a. m.
was $500.
Another of Mr. Barnes' foibles is
the hiring of automobiles. He began
to indulge in tbat pastime by engag-
ing an auto by the hour. He kept the
machine one year, paying for it a
little more than $72 each day.
Mr. Barnes said he bought the Hotel
Hand because he was dissatisfied with
the way hotels are run in New York.
"I think some of the rules and regu-
lations are fussy and silly," he de-
clared. "In addition the hotels are
not up to date. Finding that Mr.
Mizner held similar sentiments, I
Joined him in the purchase of a hotel
which we intended to make the finest
in New York. But that's only a side
bet."
Once More "Perpetual Motion."
David llhlapon, a full-blooded native
of tho norther territory, Australia, who
combines a genius for mnthcmatics
with a passion for music, claims to
havo invented a machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide, the capital of 8outh Aus-
tralia, seeking the means of testing,
tho feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro-
poses to use nre gravltntton and mo-
mentum and he had to come to Ade-
laide to seek the assistance of the ab-
orinlnes department in procuring four
beveled wheels, a spindle, a tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.
Equally Painful.
A good story Is told of an old darky
In Richmond who onco experienced
considerable difficulty In securing tho
sum due him from a prominent busi-
ness man whoso stable the negro
had whitewtshed.
One afternoon, as the old darky
came painfully up the walk toward the
house, the master thereof called to
him from the porch:
"What's the matter, Mose? Cot the
gout?"
"No, sail," came in respectful tones
from Mose; "I'se got de bill for dat
wbltewashin'." — Lippincott's Maga
zinc. .
Too Heavy.
"But, my good fellow," said the di-
vine, "did you ever take a bath?"
"No, sir," the tramp answered, hum-
bly. "I never took nothln' blgger'n
a teaspoon."

New Australian Induetry.
A new Industry has been started In

Nearly half a gallon of lubricating oil

The Parliament building in Welling-

Mr. Gould's house on the site of the
proposed mansion will be torn down
at once. The building is to be 45x113
feet, and the plans provide for a six-
story house. The entrance will be
upon 8ixty-8eventh street. The ar-
chitect will try to reproduce as many
as possible of the rural features of
Georgian court, the idea being to have
all the available atmosphere of coun-
try life.
At Georgian court the Goulds had a
great swimming pool. Their city
house will contain one which will ex-
ceed the size or some In the largest
Turkish baths and clubhouses in New
York. The pool will be 30x65 feet,
built on the top floor of the house,
save one. The kitchen and the sleep-
ing quarters of the servanta will be on
the top floor.
There are many reasons assignee^,
for giving up Georgian court at Lake-
wood. It is said there was a lack of
society in Lakewood, and that the
trades people f of the village were dis
posed to be extortionate.

The Feetive Flea.
It is said that a flea leapa 200 tlmea
its hefght, and while It usually does
land on Its feet, It oftetn fails, es-
pecially when It falls on a perfectly
smooth snrface where the clawa can
get only a slight hold. A flea haa six
legs, whose great length and bulk
make them so heavy that they must
be a great help in keeping their owner
right side up when it makea one of
those gigantic Jumps; and when it
lands upside down, or In aome other
_ _ #'y. its ability to kick ia so great that
Tie dining-room and not more than one wiggle ia needed to
the salon, peUt salon and ball room
will be on the first floor. It is sup-
posed the two salons and the ball
room will be so arranged that the
whole floor may be thrown into one
when necessary. The upper floors
will be given over to the library and
sleeping apartments of the family. A
feature of the house will be a stair-,
case arranged so that the person step-
ping upon it will be elevated to any
story. It will be spiral, along the lines j
ot an escalator adapted to the needs
of a private mansion. There also will
be an electric elevator from the first
floor to the top floor. The building,
set things right. A flea's wings are
mere scales, and of no uae; but small
and worthless as they are, they tell
the entomologist something about the
proper classification of th* Inaect To
the flea itself they have no value.—St
Nicholas.

"Any preparation of wheat or oats

ally served, remains a pasty, indi-
gestible mass. The cells are tough

refuses to do anything with the pasty
mass. It is sent Into the second stom-
ach, the Duodenum, where In conse-
quence of the long time of the first
process of digestion, is fermented and
soured. As an eminent medical man
pertinently states, the stomachs of half

"Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct
consequence of such feeding."
Knowledge of these facts and a wide
experience In the preparation and use
of cereals brought out the product
known aa Grape-Nnta, manufactured

grains, of which thp food is composed,
perfectly and scientifically cooked at

The starch of the grains, changed to
grape-sugar, can be aeen glistening on

delicate sweetish taste, very palatable.

Mr. W. N. Hutto, the well known gentleman of Jacksboro, Texas,
writes:
• . Jacksboro, Texss, Feb. 26, 1907.
Dr. C. F. Simmons, San Antonio, Texas.
My Dear Sir:—I have just returned from Atascosa County, where I
went for the purpose of investigating your 95,000-acre ranch proposition.
I spent the 21st 22nd and 23rd of this February on the ranch, and
during those three days I drove not leas than 129 miles and visited every
pasture on the ranch, and examined the property aa thoroughly as it was
passible to do within that time.
1 saw every artesian well on the ranch except the one in the Halt
pasture. I waa near it and could hsve seen it by turning back, but I bad
already seen enough to sstiafy me. and did not take the time to ao bock.
I look your booklet, "New Home Swart Home" with me aad f co^msI
the pictures in it with what I saw, and I found them absolutely correct.
I drank water at all the wells I saw, and the water was good for drink-
ing and sll other purposes in sll of them except the gas well. I did not like
it verr well, but 1 have tasted a great deal worse water. I am sure it is
good tor all stock snd irrigation purposes. I saw tbe cattle drink it, ami
they seem to "be thriving on it. I put a match to the «aa well and it
began to burn at once.
I am of the opinion that oil is to be found on this fend. Jast off
of it there is sn oil well from which 1 procured a bottle of oil which I
carried home with me.
1 talked with Mr. Brown, the gentleman now employed in patting dow*
en artesian well on your land for you. and he told me that be bad bees
drilling wells in that vicinity for t)w iart aix yean, and that good water
can be obtained at any place on the ranch from forty to two handled
fcet and that flowing wells ?a be obtained aaywbers en the ranch .t
depths ranging from three hundred feet up.
The land is an as good as represented bv yon, and lota of it rnneh better.
The Votaw pasture is the best all purpose land I ever saw.
I shall recommend all of my friend, who want csimfortable homes in
the best climate in the world to purr ha e from yon.
I am more than plowed, with what I saw, and as yon bava said, K id
the Opportunity of a Lifetime, espedany for the man with mall means.
Wishing you success in di.pomnf%>f this land, and farnkbiag homes
within the reach of the ordinary man, I remain,
' mmo.
