plseountInr FiclIo Cupid.

A society has been organized In Den
mark under tho name of the "Celibacy
Assurance society" its object being to
provide for those women who either
cannot or will not provide themselves
with a husband. The premiums, which
are on various scales, begin at the age
of 10 and end at 40, a period at which it
is supposed most of the members will
have abandoned any thought of mar
riago. Such being the case, tho woman
receives an annuity for life. If, however,
she marries at any time after or before
40 she forfeits all her claims. With
tho profits thus ~accruing by chance OF
purpose the society hopes to provide fol-
its members doomed to single blessed,

clothIng of nrItI.h clrrrrmnn.

Can anything moro absurd and less i'm
pressive be imagined than the hat,
clothes and boots worn by the British
clergymen who throng to London in
May5 Anondescript seedy hat, generally
of the wideawake description, a long
coat cut like a sack, n pair Of baggy
trousers, very much ''knee'd," a huge
pair of square tocd bulgy boots and a
gingham umbrella make up q costume
which is ut once grotesque and disreput-
able. The old fashioned clergyman used
at least to dress like n gentleman, and
tho Roman Catholic priest has n peculiar
and unmistakablo style of his own. l
quito fail to see, therefore, why the
modern curate should array himself like
n cross between n broken down under
talser and n cafe waiter out of work.

The arusquito,s Poison Glands.

The bloodthirsty mosquito Is not ma
levolent, as he is commonly described, If
we may accept the Investigations Of
Professor George macLoskie. He has
been able, by staining and dissection, to
show that the poison gland Is one Of
three minute glands (the others being
ordinary salivary glands) on each side OF
the head, and connected with a minute
duct which traverses the length Of the
long pointed piercer which forms an i'm
portant portion Of the mouth parts of
thesmusquito. The writer maintains that
this fluid Is intended mainly to prevent
thec oagulation of the proteids of plants
which the animal sucks from the tissues,
and that its poisonous effect upon other
animals Is only secondary. If 80, 1t
would perhaps follow hat 1t Is not In
troduced into the human flesh rs a poison.
1t is difficult to see what purpose the ir-
ritating effect Of the bite upon other
animals can servo the mosquito, since it
must make the chance of its getting
n~ourishment from the blood of other
animals many times less than 1t other
wise would be. 1t may be worthy of in
CURRY whether the irritating effect Is not
Incidental and perhaps only occasional,
and due to other causes than the fluid
which seems, by analogy, to nave an
other distinct purpoee-St Louis Re

Iotta's Age.

Few of the people who see Lolita kick
ing her heels and playing all the tricks
Of q little girl on the stage, would place
her age at the correct figure. This little
mito of a body doesn't look It, but she
was born In Nassau street, Nov. e7, 1916.
Her father, John Ashworth Crabtree,
was an Englishman, and kept a book
store, which he abandoned to go to Cali
fornia during the gold craze of 40. Lolita
has been on the stage since 1858, and she
is credited with the largest pile Of dollars
Of any wonan in the profession, the
greater part of which she owes to her
mothers business shrewdness. - New

SPECIMENS OF THE SPURIOUS.


A peculiar and rather amusing case
once came under the notice of the writer,
himself for long years an officer in the
Prussian service. Io used to lunch reg
ulnrly at n down town restaurant, when
ono day no was told by tho proprietor
that he had an cN-oflccr, who wns down
on Ibis luck, as waiter.
The said waiter claimed to be n Count
Y, and said that he was n first lieu
tenant in n crack cavalry regiment of
the Guards. The writer was rather curl
ous to SEQ the waiter, as he had person
ally known Count x. lie was rather
skcPtical as 10 the walters identity, sec
ing that he told wonderful stories Of his
prowcss during the Franco-G German war,
tho count in reality having entered the
army only after the close of the cam
paign.
At last tho waiter made his appear
ance, and after having been taken 10
task he acknowledged hat he was not
the count, but was once the counts ser
want. The latter fact accounted for his
intimate knowledgcof the counts family
affairs.
Many are the cases where American
wives have married bogus noblemen and
suffered bitterly for it a~ftcrward, simply
because they did not take the trouble to
make inquiries, but believed everything
the smooth tongued rascals said.
The writer was talking on Fifth avenue
with n gentleman, when tho namc of n
marquis well known in New York was
mentioned. On asking what national
ity the marquis was, he received MS
answer:
"Oh, he is not really a marquis, only
we all call him So"
The most dangerous arc tho italian,
Spanish and French marquiscs and other
noblcmcn, as titles OF nobility exist in
those countries to such an extent that
they are really difficult to classify.
AL this makes it very hard for such
noDlcmen vino como nero to gain q foot
ing in good society, us people have been
so often duped by the spurious article
that when an authentic man comes no Is
apt to be looked on with a dubious eve.
If tho c~onsulates here arc not able 10
give information, it is easy enough 10
write to the American cunsuls in Lon
don, Berlin, or whatever country the
claimant of the title m from, to 70
ceive authentic information.
But Us long rs the in~ordinate craving
of Americans exists for titles, so Ions
will the American store keeper and
tailor, as well as the American heiress
fall an easy victim to the foreign adven
turcr who comes with q big sounding
title. The moro names and the longel
the title the better.-New York Journal

THE BOGUS NOBLEMEN.
A SIMPLE METHOD OF UNMASKINe
THE PRETENDERs.

Counts That Arc of No Aocount-Barons
Who Are Barren of All Honor-MAr-
quisos without n Mark of Distinction.
Americans Easily Taken In.
On any fine day you can see n dozen
fraudulent noblemen airing themselves
on upper Broadway.
y bogus baron, n counterfeit count, q
miscalled marquis, should never impose
on anybody.
How al they be detected?
Easily enough. Suppose you have n
nobleman presented to you; the intro
ducer should be ablo to vouch for him II
the matter of title is n point In question.
But your bogus nobleman nearly al
ways presents himself. Then go to the
consulate Of his country.
A SURE DETECToR-
There it is easy 10 satisfy yourself Of
his identity. Generally speaking. al
though not always, real noblemen regis
ter at the consulate on their arrival in
New York, but every consulate, even If
the gentleman has not recorded there, is
more or less able to give information us
to noblemen belonging to their country.
Thanks to the English Pcerage (Burke's
and Debrett's) and the German Gotha-
ische, Grafcn and Freiherrn Calendar, rs
well rs TO the army lists of both coun-
tries, it is pretty easy TO get at the fncts.
And there are so many real noblemen
and officers OF the German md English
armies hero in this CITY that the bogus
article could easily be detected by being
confronted with the real one.
The impostor is generally good looking
and distinguc and has a dangerous
knowledge of what he is talking about,
depending ON his good looks and his
check to carry him through. And our
rich girls, blinded by whnt they believe
to bc the honor of being courtcd by n
real live lord or count, fall nm easy vic
tim TO the INSCRIPTIONS fortune hunter.
Counterfeit noblemen and real noble
men, who have 80 far forgotten what is
due to their namo that they closely re-
semble the bad article, abound and al
ways will abound in u great cosmopol-
itan city like New York. As long MS the
present inordinato love for titles exists
in this enlightened republic, people must
no be nstonished If they are the dupes
of such as have Il smattcring of educa-
ton and the check TO call themselves by
high sounding title.
All these counterfeit noblemen have
n chnructeristic-that is, on all posi-
bic occasions they will brag of their noble
descent and will tell the most wonderful
stories of their doings at home and of the
doings of their ancestors generations be-
fore them.
The latest specimen who has been an
noying various families, particularly that
of Mr.. William Stcinwny, represented
himself MS n nephew of the latter, called
himself at various times Count BONN,
Count Won Arnim, Baron Fedwitz and
various other m What his real in
tcntions were have not been found out us
yet. Inspector Byrnes of tho metropol-
itan police has nipped his career in the
