The Brazilian nabob, Baron Fereau,

travagant in Other directions. 1t was

ing, while staying a. the magnificent
Maux hotel in Rio de Janeiro, he came
down to breakfast and ordered a outlet.
After he had eaten it he ordered sec
ond.
''Baron," said the head. waiter, mali
ciously, ''it's a custom with us never to
serve the same course twice at a meal"
''Is that SOP" said Fereau, and rising
from his chair he let the room.
In ten minutes he came back into the
dining room. waiter" said he, "I
have just bought this hotel, and am mas
ter here now. AS you will not be able
to get accustomed to my plan of serving
the guests according to their wishes, you
are dismissed at once" Thereupon he
took up his napkin again and called to
another waiter:

Some Patents by Women,

Connecticut women have invented
dustpans and fire escapes, and there is
one woman in Providence, R. l., who has
a patent chimney.
Mrs. Harper, of Brooklyn, N. Y, has a
good income out of her inventions for
sewing straw braid, and Mrs. Fitch, of
Albany, has a parlor kiln for burning
china, which enables every painter to
burn the china which she decorates at
home, and which is, think, attached to
the gas lamp. This patent is said to be
making considerable money for its inven-
tor, and it is one of the new things of its
kind. A Brooklyn lady has a patent on
paper dolls. and New York woman, evil
IDENTIFY doctor, has patented vapor
bath which can be taken in your own
room. Another New York woman has a
patent car seat attachment, consisting of
a head rest which can be hooked on to
the end of a seat, and foot rest which
you can fasten in front, so that you can
get along very well without taking a
sleeper.-Washington Letter.

A Politicians Story.

A lot of US organized hunt for wolves
in one of the northwest sections One of
the. organization was a Chicago alder
man. In our hunt the parties to it neces-
sarily became divided. One of the num-
Der, the alderman, was alone when he
heard the hungry howl of wolves. He
struck for the timber. He climbed the
first tree which presented itself. He had
scarcely gotten hold of limb when the
wolves were beneath. The animals held
a consultation, ON the result of which the
Oldest wolf in the pack was delegated to
climb the tree. As he began the journey
the alderman took off his hat and threw
it in the VOLTS face. The wolf looked at
the alderman. He sized him up, as the
boys say, and turned. When he had
reached the ground he summoned the
other wolves and said to them:
''He belongs to our crowd; he is one of
us. Let him alone"
The wolf knew him.-ChicagoT Tribune.

The Latest Siberian Tragedy.


The survivors of the Yakutsk massacre

resistance to the authorities, and all were
found guilty. Three of them were hang

condemned to penal servitude for life,

the mines for fifteen years, four boys and
girls less than 81 years of age were con-

political exile, Kohan-Bernstein, after
receiving four severe bullet wounds at
the time of the massacre, and after lying
nearly five months in prison hospital,

his neck and dragging the bed out from
under him. If this is Russian ''modera-
tion," enc might well pray to be deliv-
cred from Russian severity.
One of the executed men, two hours
before the rope was put about his neck,
scrubbed a hasty farewell note to his
comrades, in which he said, 1--WE are

Some Famous Diamonds.

The most valuable of the precious
stones, the ruby alone excepted, is the
diamond, the largest of which now be-
longs to the rajah of Borneo. 1t was
found on that island, and the rajah will
not consent to let it leave, although he
has been offered enormous sums for the
REIMBURSEMENT of his treasure. Accord
ing to Jameson, the governor of Borneo
one time offered the raiah $3.50, 900, be-
sides two large war brigs, fully equipped;
still the despot chung to his precious lit
tie carbon. The celebrated Regency"
diamond, which glittered in the imperial
diadem of Napoleon III, cost the French
government S64S, 900.
The Kohinoor, the famous diamond
center piece in Victoria's royal crown,
when brought to England weighed 1856
1-16 carats and was valued at $500, 900.
In cutting the weight of the stone was
reduced to 12S carats.
The Orion or Orloff diamond, now be-
longing to the car, is another of the
celebrated diamonds of the world. Years
ago it was used as an eye in an Indian
idol at Serringham, in the temple of
Brahma. About the beginning of the
Eighteenth century French soldier dug
the eye from itssocket and fled to Midas,
where he sold the brilliant to an English
officer for So, 800. Conveyed to England
it again changed hands, this time going
to a Jewish diamond broker at S5S, 900!
The Jew in turn sold it to Catherine II
of Russia for S11S, 200, besides being al
lowed a pension for life.-St. Louis Re

HANDLING THE CHINESE MAIL.
What Seems a Complicated Process

What Seems Complicated Process Is
Very Simple, After All.
Many persons have asked the question:
ssHow is the Chinese mail handled in the
New York postoffice?' 1t is a question
which has excited considerable discus
sion at different times and one which
everybody should understand. 1t is gen.
orally supposed, however, shat Chinese
interpreter is employed in the postoffic ,
expressly to handle the Chinese mail.
But that is not the case, the government
never having found it necessity to en-
ploy such person.
A reporter called on Mr.. Ed Morgan,
general superintendent of city delivery
of New York, for the purpose of finding
out the exact method employed in hand
ling that class of mail matter.
''How is the Chinese mail handled?
Well, I'll tell you. As far as we are con-
cerned, the manner doesn't vary from
that employed in handling domestic
mails, but there is a point connected
with it before we get the mail which
may be interesting.
''When a Chinaman wishes to send a
ploy the services of an interpreter unless
he can write English himself. He writes,
seals and directs the envelope in his own
language. He then goes to a Chinese
interpreter, who writes the address in
English on another part of the envelope.
The letter is then ready for the mail
For this service the fee is a nominal one

Goldfish Have Fun with the Turtle

Fishes are not ordinarily supposed to
be gifted with any great amount of in
telligence, but an incident which oc-
CURED in a Washington home proves
thai they have a keen sense of humor
ano are fond of practical joking. One of
tho young women of the house in ques-
ticn has for pets baby mud turtle and
several goldfishes. The turtle is frequent
~ placed in the same tank with the fish.
THE other day he lay floating on the sur
face of the water asleep, and with his
four feet out.
The goldfish saw in this good chance
to play trick on Mr.. Turtle, and, after
putting their heads together few min
utes, they divided into four groups, and,
Selling his feet in their months, dragged
him to the bottom of the tank. When
awakened by his sudden immersion, he
had considerable difficulty in shaking
himself free from his tormentors. There
cannot be the slightest doubt that the
fishes had some means of communicate
ing their ideas to each other, for it was
plain to those who observed the incident
that the trick was the result of precon-
certed Washington Critic.

The Accordion Skirt.

You had an accordion skirt last year
and you are gazing at it in horror. You
are wondering how in the world you
could ever get those creases out, and you
look at those widths of good material
and wish you had never heard of such a
MUSICAL fashion as that plating. Now,
you can sponge and press and bring all
the ardor of fatiron and your soul to
bear upon that material and the creases
will not come out. The only way to getrid
of them is to send them to the cleaners,
and whether he does it with steam, or
whether he calls in the aid of the one
who invented this style, or what happens,
he does not tell. But the widths come
home to you as smooth as when they
first appeared from the shop, and the
possibilities of those straight strips are
wonderful.-New York Sun.

And smelt the breath of clover.
CWhat is the word he was whispering
Whispering over and overO

Thou springtime's earliest comerl
The gladness of summer is in my heoxt,
And on my cheek there is summer,
Thrilling me through as the bluebird's call,
As the sun when it kisses the cloverl
CGainst my cheek did sunbeam fallf
All, why was he bending overO
Petals of white from the hawthorn tree
Over the lush grass blowing;
Light is my heart as your breezes be
Why, surely it canrot be snowingi
a moment ago the dream soft skies
Arched above fields of cloverl
CWhy did he look me so full in the eyes'
And why did my head droop overO
1 know that heard bluebird's call;

Stockings are among the most expensive
