''The Lord once made man make mis-

THE CHARM OF SOUTHERN GIRLS.
Type of Truest WomanhOOd Which

Type of Truest WomanhOOd Which
Shines Brightest in the Home.
The Southern girl shines brightest at home,
says the Washington Herald. She has not
forgotten the old-time respect that children
should have for the mothers who gave them
life, and the graceful affection in which she
holds the gray-haired woman who kept a
brave heart amid the horrors of war and in
the sickening days of poverty and privation
that followed in its train, and, though she
has had all this to bear, has taught her
young daughters lessons Of selfhelp, of
courage in misfortune, that can never be
effaced.
Those of true modest womanhood did not
need to be taught, for they were inherent.
When the Southern girl walks on the avenue
she is as distinctly recognizable as though she
were marked From Georgia" or placarded
IAN Aiabamian.
Her step is easy, for it was learned from
Dame Nature herself and the slender feet
might belong to the daintiest ankle that ever
CLEANED in the shadows of the Orange Walk
at Seville.
You never knew before how lovely q cos
tune of simple white could be, and yet you
say to yourself that the costliest device of
the cunningest miliner in the Rue de Bac
could not be more effective In demolishing
the masculine heart.
Every woman who sees her knows that
that hat was the work of the wearer's
slender fingers, but hOw becoming it is,
lighted by the softest, sweetest, broWn-gray
eyes!
And as you look your thoughts are miles
away from the crowded avenue and its inter-
changing scenes. You are young again, and
the romance of the far South come back, and
you smell the orange trees as they were in
bloom SO many years ago, and with Owen
Meredith, you unconsciously say, "Oh that
we we're eternally youngP'

CABLE MESSAGES IN ENGLAND.

Red-Tlpe Regulations About Dispatches
Sent Across the Atlantic.
Philadelphia Inquirer.l
The American who goes into telegraph
Office in England for the first time to send a
cable message usually undergoes an expert
ence that confirms him in his opinion as to
the superiority Of the institutions Of his
native land. He has just arrived and is
anxious to inform the folks at home, so he
stops on his way to the railway station or
hotel. Telling the "cabby" to wait, he
grasps blank, fills in the necessary words,
laws down his shillings and prepares to go.
"Wrong form!" says the clerk, politely but
firmly. The traveller looks around help
lessly until some one, seeing his embarrass-
ment, hands him the white sheet required
with a sigh relief. "Must be stamped" re-
plies that official, pointing to a sign of
''Stamps sold here"
The traveller hands his message to the
bright-iaced girl who presldes behind the
iron-railed counter. "You must get it rated
sirr' she says. Half in despair, anxious,
maybe, to catch a train or join some waiting
friends, he finds the rating clerk, buys the
stamps from the interesting young lady, and
at last, ten minutes or more having passed,
has his message accepted and started via
q pneumatic tube to some more central sta
ton, at which the operating room is located.
Many are the excellencies of the English
postal service, but promptitude is not al
ways one of them. 1t is just to say the new
cable company has dispensed with many of
the formalities which are so trying to any
one accustomed to American ways.

NEWSPAPERS OF THE WORLD.

America Leads the List With 1880 and
Germany is Second.
London Times.l
A large number of statistics have been
collected in connection with the Paris Ex-
hibition. and of these probably the most in
teresting are those which deal with the total
number of journals published in the whole
world. These have been collated by La
Nature. The facts given show that Ger
many has the honor of publishing the larg-
est number of periodicals IN Europe, these
numbering $500, of which 800 are dailies.
Journals devoted to special religious dog
mas, creeds and scientific theories abound
more in this than in any other country.
The Oldest German journal is the Frankfort
Gazette des Postes, founded in 1916; the
most widely circulated, the Berltner Tdge-
blGtt, issues but So, 900 copies.
After Germany comes England, which
publishes over 5000 newspapers, 809 of
which are dailies France follows, with a
nearly equal number, of which only quar-
ter are dailies, bi-weeklies or tri-weeklies.
Italy holds the fourth rank by publishing
1, 400 journals. In Austria-H Hungary there
are loo journals, of which $50 are dailies.
So far as other countries are concerned

S0O 200 of the latter appearing at St.
Petersburg and rs at Moscow In all,
Europe is credited with over 10000 jour
Aals.
Turning to Asia, the figures show that
here no fewer than 5000 newspapers are
issued, most OF which appear in Japan and
the British Indies. China is very poorly
supplied, having but the King-Fdu (ofi-
cial journal of Pekin), which issues three
editions day on paper of different colors,
and one journal at Shanghai and one at
Corea. japan, on the other hand, pub
fishes 1, 500 journals. Africa makes but
very poor show, having but 200 newspapers,
80 of which are published in Egypt, and the
rest in European colonies.
America has a large share of representa-
ton in the worlds press, the United States
alone issuing 12,5oO papers, !, 900 OF which
are dailies. In Canada zoo journals are
published, most of which are French. Be-
sides Mexico and Brazil, in which quite
large number of papers are published, it
may be stated that the Argentine Republic
has 60 journals. Australia is credited with
700 papers, all of which are English.

well back of q brain that lowered far above
them. His mouth showed both strength and
generosity, and his chin was indicative Of
decision and courage. His voice was clear
and soft, with minor tones that had held
close fellowship with sorrow.
During long and most interesting inter-
view several questions were discussed; but
those that have the liberty of mentioning
here pertained to subject in which he is
deeply interested, and to which he has de-
voted his splendid talents and vast wealth
for some vears-the Congo State. In reply
to my question as to how he first became in
terested in the Congo, be said:
"After the New York Herald and the
London Telegraph had dispatched Henry
M. Stanley to Africa in search of David
Livingstone, and he had successfully per-
formed that mission. and had crossed the
Dark Continent from the Indian Ocean to
the valley of the Congo to the Atlantic
Ocean, invited him to come and see me
here in Brussels. He recounted his thrill
ing adventures and experiences in Africa;
spoke in glowing terms of the richness Of the
soil and the resourcefulness of the country.
He seemed to be anxious to do something
for Africa, and told him to go back to the
Congo and undertake work for the country
and the people, and that 1 would be his
banker. He went and what he did Is his
tory"
In reply to an inquiry as 70 the objects

by the world at large as largely precariOus
and visionary, he replied with animation:

MARVELS OF MEMORY.
Men Who Could Repent the Contents o
Whole Books.

men VINO Could hepent the Contents o
Whole Books
Blackwood's Magazine.1
There have been stupendous memories
enough in ancient and modern times to stag
ger belief-such as those of Theodectes and
Hortensius and Cineas, of whom Cicero
speaks, and in our later DAYS, Pascal, who,
it is said, never forgot anything he had seen,
heard, or thought; and Avicenna, who re-
peated by rote the entire Koran when he
was 10 years old, and Francis Suarez, who,
Strada tells us, had the whole of St. Angus
tine In his memory-enough, one would
think, to destroy all his mental power of di-
gestion; and Justus Lipsius, who on one oc-
casion offered to repeat all the "Historv'' Of
Tacitus without mistake on forfeit of his
life; and in our own days Jedediah Buxton
and Zerah Colburn, among others, who had
such a prodigious power and rapidity of
calculating in their minds. Colburn, it is
said, could tell the number of seconds in 5S
years almost before the question could be re-
peated. The story is told that Jedediah Bux.
ton was once taken to the theater to see Gar
rick, and that he was observed to pay unre-
mitted attention to the great actor through
out the play. When he went out his friends
who accompanied him asked him how he
had been impressed by the acting, and Jede-
diah answered by stating the number of
words and syllables that Garrick had
spoken. His mind had been interested sole
ly in this enumeration. dare say it was a
purely mechanical operation of mind with
him, and rather think that with all these
great memories it is the same.

THE NICK IN THE LAPEL.
The ReasOn Thnt Little Notch Was Made In
Your Coat Collar,
St. Louis Republic j

Vne reason TnnG Little NOTCH was Wa0e IN
YOur Coat Collar.
st. Louis Republic.l
Did you ever wonder why that little
V-shaped nick was placed at the juncture Of
your coat collar with the lapel? 1 suppose
you have. Occasionally we all have our
little ruminating spells, and fall to wonder
ing the why's of the many odd things we see
about us. Hold your coat up before you,
and you will see at glance that it would
'set" Just as we'll without the nick as with
it. Therefore the matter of fit cannot be
given as proper solution of the fact that it
is there. Without apparent purpose this
nick is clipped from the lapel of every frock
coat worn in the world. But there was
motive in the madness of the first man who
adopted the little insignia of distinction. I
will tell you about it.
When the first Napoleon gave way to his
ambition he tried to implicate General
Moreau in Pichegru's conspiracy. Moreau
had been Napoleon's superior and was very
popular, but under the circumstances, as
press publicly any sympathy with Moreau;
SO his admirers secretly agreed to nick their
coat lapels to show what they were. Care
fully note the outlines of the first eoat-front
you see that Is well-ftted and buttoned, and
see If you cannot plainly detect the in
itial letter M in its wlndings. The NJ will
appear apside down, the little nick forming
its sides. NJ was the initial letter for
Moreau and his champions were known by.
the hicks in the lapels of their coats.
