Count Won wedel Will be the New
Minister to Russia


BERLIN, Aug. ll.-Several changes
are about to be made in the imperial
diplomatic service. The most signiti-
cant of them will be the retirement OF
General Won Sheinwitz, the aged
representative of the emperor at the
court of st, Petersburg. This change
will be made as early as November, and
perhaps in September. The reason il
that General Won Scheinwitz is too old
for the onerous duties of the most deli
cate post in the German diplomatic ser.
VICE. He will retire to private life. Hit
successor will be Lieutenant General
Count Won Wedel, who has been sent tc
Stockholm to serve his diplomatic ap,
premiership. Count Won Wedel has q
splendid war record, and has never beer
suspected of leaning toward the old
regime, q suspicion to which General
Won Schein WITT has been open occasion.

The most important other change will
be the departure of fhe Count Muenstei
from Paris. Count Muenster retirei
voluntarily, having become tired of his
hopeless task of pleasing the French
Although he and his wife have been ex
ceptionally hospitable In Paris, and
Count Muenster Ia q genial man of at
i tractive manners, he has failed utterl,
to secure more than bare tolsf9tion II
Paris society. He asked several time
for perpission to resign his post, bu
every time until now the emperor has
refused TO let him go. Herr Won Rad
owitz, recently transferred from Con
stantinople, Is regarded as the mos
likely candidate FOR the Paris appoint
mtnt. As be recently got himself dis
liked in Potsden by sending congTstn
llRtions to the Bisrnarck- Hoyos wedding
however, the probability OF his selectioi

1t was the lot Of o young parson to be
embarrassed by the appeals of two young
women who wanted to marry the Same
bridegroom. The first conner Of these
had scarcely told how her faithless lover
had actually put up tho banns In the
East End parish when the delinquent
turned up with an idiotic grin on his
face and q gayly appareled young WON
an on his arm. What could the parson
then a young and bashful curate-do
but invite the trio into the vestiy room,
there TO discuss the business. Luckily
for him, it speedily leaked out that there
had been no legal residence in his par
ish, which afforded him at once q sufii-
Gent ground for declining to perform
the ceremony.
On another occasion the awfu1 dis
covery WAS made that the bride had by
accident been described in the marriage
license by her pet name. 1t was sug-
gested that an affidavit of identity sworr,
at a neighboring police court might re.
pair the blunder This was doue Just in
time TO complete the ceremony within
canonical hours, but the accommodate.
ing clergyman afterward received O
stern ACCOMPLISHMENT from high quarters
mot to do it again. "-Cornhill Maya

Do not neglect your paint brushes
Dip them in an old can containing ben
zine, kerosene or turpentine, then wasl
thoroughly with soap and hot water
Pearline is even better than soap; It re
moves the color rapidly and does not In
jure the bristles if they are well rinset
in clear water afterward. Put youi
brushes in a jar, handles down, and
leave them to dry. One of the oldest
sights il an artists studio is the numbe,
of brushes disposed in various artistic
bits of pottery i'll nOol1s and corners.
Some painters pride themselves on
owning many hundreds OF brushes Of
every possibleIstyle and size. Handsome
brushes are ruined IL leit dirty; itmakei
the hairs come out, but the large brusheI
used in common work will not be in
iured by being left in water over night
If you intend to use them for the same
colors next day.
Burn your paint rags when you hav,
done with them. Oily rags are very in
flammable and sometimes take fire spon
taneously when left i'll heap in som,
corner.-Harper's Young People.

The Lady Was Not the Ghost.

An Irish family once had a ghost sc
troublesome that they sent for detec
tives. One Of these men late at nigh
fell asleep in his chair. The lady of thu
house CHANGED to come into the room
and could not resist the temptation t.
groan and rattle her keys. She hal
never played ghost before: it was mo
lentary indiscretion. But the police
man did not, and could hardly be ex
pecGed to, believe this. He said it wa
hardly worth while to bring him from
Dublin, and he withdrew in dudgeon
Yet the lady was not really the ghost
He was sulking in retirement. Henc
doubt has been cast on the ghosts O
haunted houses, even among rejecting
minds.-London Illustrated News.

Unlike most other countries England
has repeatedly been governed by for
eigners, who thought SO little of their
people that they did not even take the
trouble to learn the language of their
subjects. Most of the Danish kings
knew no English. aid if William the
Conqueror, William Rufus and others
knew the language they kept the fact to
themselves.
The early French kings. i'll fact, re
garded England as conquest and
France as their home. Richard l, fol
instance, spent but Il few months of the
ten years of his reign on English soil
In modern times George neither knew
nor cared to learn English, and George
ii spoke it very imperfectly.-St. Louil

worth living for Many.
Tho wind has long been tempered %
the shorn lamb, but the baidhead has
had 70 take the blasts as they came. No
special dispensations In the matter Of
weather have been made on his account.
He has had to look out for himself, and
the fact that he survives 80 numerously
Is perhaps better evidence Of his hustling
ability than Of Ids innate goodness.
Why, no ono appears able to tell, but
certain It Is that from time inmcmorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
reverence. ttt+
twill be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to ''go up" This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved a journey to sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. BE
that as II may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute Of hairy adornment has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule.
But it is long lane which has nc
turning, and the baldhead's turn has
come at last. Some enterprising philan.
thropist has invented o polish for the
hairless crown which Is warranted 70
turn it into thing Of beauty and JOY
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of polish, which is easily ap-
piled by barber and imparts to the al.
ready shining crown q shineso brilliant
that it dazzles the eyes and so smooth
that upon it no fly can gain foothold.
Those who have never experienced
the joys and sorrows of badness mas
not be able TO appreciate the value Of
this discovery. The value is there Just
the same. With little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will NJ
longer fall On easy prey to the influenzs
laden breezes, while he can lie down Il
dreams unbroken by the assaults oil
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is ut hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
covery cannot be ovcrrated. With his
sparsely matched crown protected from
: the attacks of cnvious Cascas the bald
!. head will recover from his tendency to
ward the use of unauthorized explosives
and he may even rise to the point o.
: taking front scat in the sanctuary il
: fly time. Relieved of the necessity fol
turning his skull into a block upon

long stood in need.

Among the whimsical titles which ap.
pear on the pages Of national history.
few are more apparently frivolous than
The Duke Of MarnalaGe, the Count of
Lemonade und the Earl of Brandy,
They are, or were, however, real titles.
bestowed by genuine monarch on
three of the favorites, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1911 a
revolution occurred in Hayti, and Chris
topic, negro, declared himself en-
peror. Through conspiracy and plot,
his life often attempted, he retained
power till 1890, preserving to the last
the appearance of a royal court and Gre
ating numerous ability.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddity of the titles
has suggested to many writers the friv-
olousness Of the African character. In
fact, however, all three names were
those of places, the first two being origi-
nally plantations, but latterly towns of
some importance. This fact not being
generally known, misapprehension has
arisen with regard to the titles them
selves, which, however absurd, are
scarcely more so than some which were
bestowed in France and Germany dur.
ing the Middle Ages.-Boston Tran
