the gaps between them the capriciously

Shiny mud which forms the interstices.
as soon, however, as you get through
the suburbs, the ambitious capital
strikes fhe visitors eye. New and lofty
houses, smart and modern, dwarf with
their massive upstart splendor the low
building which adioins them: and which
has yet emerged from the limbo of the
past. A new palace is being erected for
the King, but it will be merely tempo
rary, and you perceive the necessity of
such work on passing the assured
walls of the old palace, which attempts
are being made to repair, and the patch
ing up of which ill-conceals the signs of
decay. Everywhere is the striking con-
trast of city and country which are
growing, expanding and embellishing
themselves, and resOlutely marching to-
wards their future destinies. Even at
the early hour on Sunday when we ar
rived, Bucharest is full of animation
and offers us, with its crowded and
trimmed-up streets, the most motley
type of its inhabitants, whose aspect
and costumes are still lacking in real
hOmogeneousness. Yet, the top boot
here, as in Hungary, is still dominant,
showing that the roads have yet to be
made, and that mud is supreme. But if
the top boot is the basis of the national
costume, the Astrakhan hat, black, high,
and pointed, is the summit, while be-
tween basis and summit there is free
scope for caprice. When, after two
hours drive about the city, we returned
to the station, many of US had the same
idea, and had adorned ourselves with
this Astrakhan cap-a soft and conve-
nient covering, the more readily assumed
because the morning is chilly, and such
headgear is capital protection from
damp.-C0r. London Times.

even twenty years ago. The haleyon
DAYS of professional life seem nearly
passed. There was some romance and
much dignity in the wig and gown OF
olden time. The happy possesser Of
those adornments could be poor in them
and still not be in disgrace. Now there
is nothing to tell poor lawyer from q
poor tramp. The rules of practice IN
the courts were extremely technical and
the law full of queer fictions and incon-
gruous oddities. which gave to the pTac-
titioner better chance to defeat his adj
versary by superior cunning. Now the
code has made practice so simple that
the client scarcely feels the need of a
lawyer at all in suits for small amounts,
and has the tables fairly turned on his
former master. In fact, if the law Civ
ing to the prevailing party costs should
be abolished, it is doubtful if more than
a mere fraction of the lawyers of this
day and place could support themselves.

s.DOn't Cut Ne IMP,

The other night two Atlanta police
men, while passing a medical college,
noticed man shying around in
the dark. Suspecting that something
was wrong, they gave chase and
ran him for some distance. No soon
er had the officers started after him
than he began to yell: Murder! Oh,
Lordy! Dem students!' After 8 run of
more than a half-mile he was caught.
''WhO are your demanded one of the
officers.

What did you run for?'

"Who wants to cut you? What have
you doneP''
Dem students-dem students! Oh.

ground, yelling and screaming.
The officers pacified him, and finally
found out that the supposed midnight
prowler thought they were students
hunting for somebody to dissect.-

Beauties Made to Order.

A reporter recently visited woman
on Lexington avenue, whose specially
is the improvement of the human form,
when the following conversation was
had:
''How do you make the person more
robust?"
''By means of tonics I have prepared
myself, composed chiefly, of course, of
oils for fattening and acids for decreas-
ing flesh. use no arsenic, as is often
done in these fattening tonics, and I do
not prescribe any line of diet. -
"Well, what is the proper medium of
flesh to be obtained?"
''That is more a question of personal
taste than of any prevailing fashion. To
give you a case in point: It was only
yesterday that a young lady, certainly
not more than eighteen, residing on
Madison avenue, came to me and
wished to take something to reduce her
flesh. She was beautifully formed
girl, and perfect picture of girlish
beauty. [ am always frank with those
who call on me, and l endeayOred to
dissuade her from taking anything as
she proposed. She was in the very
bloom of health, but she appeared to
have been taken with this craze-es-
thetic you call it, don't you?-and fan
cied that she was not sufficiently spirit
uelle. She objected to a robust, healthy
appearance as savOring of vulgarity. I
gave her what she asked for, but I was

1t is New Hampshire genius who
is credited with using an augur profit
ably at ball game. Hundreds of boys
found the view from an adjacent free
hill shut off by a tight fence. There
was a wild search for cracks, but the ifs
sures had been carefully battened. To
whittle a peep-hole would have been an
hours job. Then the Yankee drew an
augur and quickly bored through. An
eager throng pressed upon him with be-
seeching requests for loan of the tool.
81 wouldn't have this augur dulled for
anything he said. ''but I'd just as soon
bore few holes, though I've got to tax
you six cents per bore. Hand over a
nickel and I'll punch the board. First
come first served. Here we are.
Where'll you have it?'' The man took
in something like two dollars before the
demand for his services ceased. Boston

Hints to Gentlemen.

Don't be untidy in anything. Neat
ness is one of the most important Of the
minor morals.
Don't wear apparel with decided col
ors or with pronounced patterns.
Don't-we address here the male read
er, for whom this brochure is mainly
dcsigned-wear anything that is pretty.
What have men to do with pretty
things! Select quiet colors and unob-
trusive patterns, and adopt no style OF
cutting that belittles the figure. It Is
right enough that mems apparel should
be becoming, that it should be graceful,
and that it should lend dignity to the
figure; but it should never be Orna-
mental, fanciful, grotesque, odd, capri
cious nor pretty.
Don't wear evening dress in the morn
ing, or on any occasion before six
o'clock dinner. Don twear black broad
cloth in the morning, or. at least. don't
wear black brOadciOth trousers except
for evening dress.
Don't wear your hat cooked over
your eye, nor thrust back upon your
head. One method is rowdyish, the.
other rustic.
Don't wear trinkets. shirt-pins. finger.
rings or anything that IS solely orna-
mental. One may wear shirt-studs, 3
scarf-pin, q watch-chain and a seal. be-
cause these articles are useful; but tha
palmer they are the better.
Don't clean your ears, or your nose.
or trim and clean your finger nails In
public. Cleanliness and nesatness IN ali
things pertaining ts the I5erson are in
dispensable, but toilet Offices are proper
In the privacy of ones apartment only.
Don't chew or nur Sc your toothpick
