Hints That May Be of Interest to Wealthy
American Girls.
No foreign, though more particular
ly no French. title holds a more es-
teemed place than that of Marquis. -
which, indeed. socially may be said to
rank above that of Duke for the very
simple reason that while the first Ma
poleOn created large number of Dukes
and Princes he patented no Marquises,
who, unless the sons of imperialist
Dukes, are therefore known to be OF
creation belonging to the days of the
monarchy. Such p 'ints are of course
difficult to determine without ready
sources of reference, but in foreign
society such distinctions are as familiar
as are with us those which regulate
the relative social positions of the
members OF our aristocracy.
1t is distinction not always thor
oughly understood, that which exists
between political or peerage nobility
and nobility of blood. A gentleman OF
blood being already noble, can not be
further ennobled by being raised to
the peerage, though his rank and priv
ileges are thereby augmented. This
is point which, if it is not always
clear to the English mind, it is
difficult to explain to the foreigner
He. however, perhaps better than
the Briton, can grasp the mean
ing of the amusing anecdote of the
Spanish grandees who, signing their
consent to the accession to their throne
of the French Philip ". wrote each
against his name, mobile as the King"
one. however, adding, land a little
more, for" he said, Phillip V. is a
Frenchman, while l, am Castilian. "
Though it is a co'lOquial fiction that
every Spaniard is of noble birth. it
must be remembered that it is only the
heads of the Spanish noble families
who bear the title, the eldest son of a
Duke being known during his fathers
lifetime simply as ''Don Alfonso di
-" i is. perhaps, not Familiarity
known THAT a Spanish title is by no
means an inexpensive luxury. The
rank of grandee costs about f1.OOO;
and while with us ducal title entails
an outlay of f1.SOO, it mugt be re-
membered that it is only the original
recipient who pays this sum. which in
Spanish is renewable on every fresh
assumption of the title. This is but
poorly recompensed by the right en-
joyed by all Spanish grandees of re-
naming covered in the presence of
royalty. privilege confined in this
country to the family of Lord Forester

II shall explain it to you. There

$500 which he did not wish to leave to
anybody. Though he was stranger
in the world, the idea came to him
that he would spend the money in
having the same kind of a funeral that
other people had. He sent for a bust
ness agent, unfolded his plans for the
funeral, and then died with a half
cynical, half-amused smile on his face.
1.-The agent ordered the coffin, en-
gagged the carriages, hired pall-bear-

There wasn't mOurner in the lit

ever known. There wasn't a person
in the city who wasn't a stranger to
him. But the coffin stood under the
pulpit covered with anchors, broken
columns, pillows, doves and broken

AN ELEPHANTS MEMORY.
How Wise Circus Pet Remembered

How q Wise Circus Pet Remembered q
Candy Store.
A circus travelling through the
country parts of England stopped one
day at little town called Hythe. That
night when every thing was quiet in
the tent. animals and employees all be-
ing sound asleep, Clytie, one of the
elephants, deliberately and without
any uproar broke the chain that fast
ened her foot and, leaving the tent,
started toward the center of the town.
Nobody was astir and so she had the
way all to herself.
She proceeded without delay or hest
tation to little shop that stood on the
main street of the village, and finding
it closed, of course, she Immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was soon as busy an elephant
as you ever saw examining candy and
cakes down her capacious throat The
man who owned the shop came run
ming in from the back room. but Clytie
did not pause in her lunch on that &C.
count, nor did she pay any more at
tention when be ran out again crying
'Ow! Ow!' In fact, she totally disre-
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took up that cry of low! Owl"
But pretty soon a little man came up,
who cried out in sharp voice:
Hi, there, Clytie! What dye meant
Come out O. that now, dye hearp"
And Clytie did come out and in a
great hurry, too, for the little man was
her keeper, and she not only mad a
great deal of respect for him, but she
was afraid of him as we'll. But, after
all, she didn't care much about it, for
she had filled herself with candy and
Dukes. and that was all she was after.
The most puzzling question was
how did she distinguish a candy shop
from any other shop in the village?
The shopman gave the answer to this
himself; he had fed an elephant CANDY
at that very shop twelve years before
and inquiry developed the fact that
Ciytie was that elephant. She had re-
