NEARLY thirty years ago young En-

years he corresponded with his sister at

wrote only to have ter letters returned

she addressed letter to president

these facts and imploring his aid in
finding her brother. This letter found
its address few weeks ago. Instead
of going to the waste basket it was for

a request that he look Mr.. Brown up.
In a short time response came that
Robert Brown. was dead and had left
two sons, both prosperous young bust

The Umbrella in Eastern Countries.

The umbrella of the East, recognized
as the insignia of royalty, is composed
of the richest materials and encrusted
with precious stones. Among the
numerous presents brought from India
by the Prince of Wales were no fewer
that twenty state umbrellas. OF these
may be especially noted one sent by
the Queen of Lucknow, which was COW
cred with blue satin woven with gold,
and literally covered with seed pearls.
Other very noticeable examples were
the state umbrella of Indore, simulat-
ing, In form, that of mushroom, and
those which were covered with the
plumage of the rarest tropical birds.
Fixed umbrellas of considerable size,
and fitted with deep falling curtains,
were an important feature of the two
wheeled sedans formerly used by Jap
anese ladies of quality. These remark
able-looking conveyances were pro-
PEELED from behind by an attendant,
who bore, passing over his shoulders,
long bamboo handle, the ends of
which, held in either hand, enabled
him, no doubt, with but slig ght fatigue
to accomplish his duty. In Sierra
Leone the regal umbrella was of a
decidedly conical form, and was fitted
with handle that permitted it to be
held obiquely over the kings head.
The King of Dahomey holds his court
in barn lined with twenty-four um-
brellas, the outer ones of which are
white, but the central ones, marking
the spot occupied by his majesty, are
OF the gaudiest colors imaginable, such
as blue. orange, scarlet. and purple.
The kings of Burmah were invariably
in the habit of addressing their brother
potentates as THE Great Umbrella
Bearing Chiefs of the Eastern Coun-
tries, and the omission of this courtesy
would, no doubt, as implying inferiori-
ty of rank, have been considered a
cause of mortal offense.

A MAN of high position who has been
entertained at many foreign courts,
when asked what social characteristic
kings and queens held in common, an
swered emphatically, Courtesy. Let
me give you one instance. The late
King Of Spain gave my party superb
reception. We had with us an obscure
young journalist who, after being pre-
sented, modestly retired to corner of
the room. Approaching this young
man the King said to him, I learn that
you are a literary gentleman? "A
humble one, your Majesty replied the
correspondent. I can sympathize with
you answered the King, pleasantly,
I, too, aspire to be literary man. I
am now reading your Hamet," in your
own language The journalist longed
to express his thanks for the delicate
compliment, but remembered just in
time that etiquette requires royalty to
begin and also end conversation"

THE original flag Of England was the
banner of st. George, i. e., white with
a red cross, which, on April II, 1906,
three years after James I. ascended the
throne, was incorporated with the ban
ner of Scotland-a blue flag with di-
agonal white cross. This combination
was named the "Union Jack" in allu-
sion to the union with Scotland, and
the word jack is probably corruption
of Jacobus, Jacques or James.

IT is related that few years ago the
Prince of Wales declined to attend a
luncheon following the opening of q
town hall at Halifax because the local

newspaper men should dine apart, in

touring in Buckinghamshire, shut
himself up in his room on learning of a
similar resolve, and sent word to his
hosts that he would remain there until
the journalists were accorded a place at

A PHYSICIAN of note says that it is
impossible to draw any conclusion from
the size and shape of the head as to the
extent or surface of the brain, and so
as to the mental capacity. It is absurd
to Judge of the brain surface by either
the size of the head or the extent of
the superficial irregular surface which
is covered by the skull, without taking
into consideration the number of folds or
the depth of creases. "For little brain
with many deep folds may really, when
spread out, have larger surface than
large brain with few shallow folds. Z"

ALLIANCE MATTERS,

Seaman Alliance of Mitchell county
adopted this: Resolved that we de-
mand that all school books be compiled
and printed by the state and furnished
to the scholars at cost.
Riley county alliance says: Re.
solved, That we sever our relation with
all political parties and that we will
not recognize any man placed in nomi.
nation by any political party, although
they are identified with the union.
And we further recommend that we
place in nomination candidate fol
congress in this district.
The Tennessee Alliance of Nemaha
county has adopted this: Resolved,
That any doctor, lawyer, banker, mer-
chant, or other business man who shall
do dihonest or dishonorable act to an
alliance man, after said act shall be in
vestigated, and if found true We will
boycott said party OF parties, and we
ask all alliances to cooperate with us.

alliances in as many Kansas counties,
namely: Butler, Cowley, Dickinson,

has bridged over little differences of
neighbors caused by political disagree
ment and has made warm friends of
the hitherto rather distant citizens OF
neighborhood. As We understand
him he is opposed to an alliance ticket,
and when an officer goes back on the
people whom he serves, let the alliance
take off his head.
