THE CoUnr OF ST.. JAMEs.-St.
james has been the designation of
the Eoglish Court for many years.
1t is large brick structure, and BY
no means a very elegant one. It was
made n manor by Henry VIII. in
1908. Previous to that timo it was a
hospital and dedicated to St. james.
After the fire at Whitehall, in 1905,
st. James became the London resi-
d"nee ofthe British sovereign. Buck
ingham Palace became the oificial
residence, but still lcvees, receptions
and drawingrooms are often held in
St. Jamos Palace.

Tie Feminine Toilet.

The other day, says recent writer, l
heard of an incident which shows that
even men of society do not understand
all the mysteries Of the feminine toilet.
A gentleman, who devotes a large part
of his time to the society of ladies, and
who believes himself c0n1.0iSSew in all
that pertains to them, was much annoyed
by observing that fair friend of his, fav-
orably known for her style of elegant
dressing, would insist, when the weather
would allow it, upon wearing an old
shawl devoid of any claims to beauty OF
good. taste.
The gallant endured this for long
while. He walked up Broadway and
Fifth Avenue, and rode in the park with
his friend, and often looked at the odious
shawl in way that he thought would
convince her of its unitness for so ele-
giant woman as herself.
She did not take the hint, however, but
continued to display it on every possible
occasion. He lost patience at last, and
said to her one day
"May I be permitted to inquire why
you will wear that miserable shawl all the
time? 1t ruins your dress. You look SC
exquisitely otherwise that [ can not COM
prehend why you will deform yourself
with such faded rag as that. 1t has
nothing in the world to recommend it
and 1 believe if you were to throw it of
in the street nobody would pick it up"
The bright eyes opened with surprise,
and strange expression fell across the
pretty face.
"You are testing, are you not ?" the
lady asked. "You do not really dislike
my shawl, do you ?"
81 never was more serious in my life.
1 thoroughly detest this thing which you
call shawl"
"Well, then, I'll inform you that this
Is camel's hair shawl and, though
think it in very bad taste to speak o.
prices, it cost $1,000, and is one of the
finest ever brought to this country"
The young man was astounded but
his taste was correct.

SUCH Observation-Disclosures blunders
sometimes occur with happy termina-
tons. A st. Louis lady and her little
girl went out one afternoon for an airing
in the park. Seated at the foot of q
monument was young man whom the
little girl took for her father, and ran
into his arms before she discovered her
mistake. Her mother apologized and
the man excused her, and commenced
playing with the child. The mother sat
down, and finding her new-made acquaint-
ance to be quite a gentleman, entered
into conversation with him. Just then
q busybody who knew her passed through,
ran directly to her husband and told him
he had better look after his wife, stating
where he had seen her. Stung by such
an insinuatioD, the husband hurried off
to the park and found her as represented.
He seized the man by the collar and was
about to shoot him without hearing a
word of explanation, when suddenly he
relinquished his hold and asked him his
name, and greatly to his establishment
learned that he was addressing his broth
er, whom he had been separated from
since childhood, and save for o sober
second thought he would have murdered.
The story of the separation was one not
at all new; in boyhood they had lived in
an Eastern home, and one, seized With
the spirit of adventure, went to the
Pacific coast, failed to write home, and
became, as it were, dead to the family.
The other brother came West several
years after and settled in st. Louis,
where the first brother wandered after q
somewhat eventful experience, and the
recognition took place.

An Extensive Forgery.

New York papers tell of a serious for
gerry perpetrated IN that city, by which
the sum of $50, 900 in gold was obtained
on forged check, and the swindler had
twenty minutes the start of the officers
who were notified of the transaction. A
day or two ago a young broker named
Van Saun, applied to Frederick H, Smith,
broker, stating that he was commission
ed to buy about $4,000 gold for Mar
vim Bros, and asked Smith to furnish it
for him. Smith objected to dealing in
such large sums with a man who was
simply doing commission business, and
Van Saun compromised by agreeing to
take $4,000 gold, for which he would
give him (Smith) a certified check for
500, 375-at the rate of 1929 for gold
Van Saun presented check for $56, 1916,
currency drawn on the Continental
National Bank and, signed sc. M. Har-
ris & Co., but upon Mr.. Smiths de-
handing that it be certified Van Saun
said that he would procure the certifca-
ton and departed with it, returning in
about five minutes with the check bear
ing what purported to be the certifca-
ton of Mr.. Simpson, the paying teller
of the Continental Bank. Mr.. Smith at
once paid over to Van Saun q check
drawn by Morton, Bliss & Co., on the
Bank of New York, for $4,000, to the
order of Eames & Moore, which was by
them Endorsed, and $4,000 in gold GER

A FIRE INcIDENT.-When the great fire
in ithaca, N. Y, first broke out, it was
apparent that aid would be required to
extinguish it, and accordingly an attempt
was made to telegraph to Oswego, thirty
three miles distant. The Office being
closed no response could be obtained,
and the operator telegraphed to SYRIA
cuse, but could get no reply. He then
sent dispatch to Buffalo, and there it
was reported to New York, when the oper-
ator had succeeded in raising" Oswego.
The intelligence was communicated that
Ithaca was in flames, and an engine was
sent to the scene, arriving there within
two and half hours from the time the
fire broke out, and rendered efficient
service.

water without causing it to flow over,
while dead one produced the opposite

made, member suggested that possibly
it would be well first to show that the
