Three Humorous Titles.

Among the whimsical titles which ap-
pear on the pages Of national history,
few are more apparently frivolous than
the Duke of Marmalade, the Count of
Lemonade and the Earl of Brandy.
They are, or were, however, real titles,
bestowed by a genuine monarch on
three of the favorites, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1911 a
revolution occurred in Hayti, and Chris
tophe, a negro, declared himself en-
peror. Through conspiracy and plot,
his Life often attempted, he retained
power TILL 1920, preserving to the last
the appearance of royal court and Gre
ating a 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, misrepresentation has
arisen with regard to the titles them
selves, which, however absurd, are
scarcely more 80 than some which were
bestowed in France and Germany dur
ing the Middle ges.-Boston Tran
script.

Eugene Sues Vanity.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed when
his works were the vogue, Eugene Sue
posed much more as man of fashion
than a man of letters. After his dinner
at the Cafe de Paris he would gravely
stand on the steps smoking his cigar and
listening to the conversation with an air
of superiority without attempting to
take part in it. His mind was supposed
to be far away, devising schemes for the
social and moral improvement of his
fellow creatures. These philanthropic
musings did not prevent him from pay
ing great deal of attention--too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance, for
even In those days of beaus, bucks and
dandies, of Counts d'Orsay and others,
men could hot help thinking Eugene
Sue overdressed.
He rarely appeared without spurs to
his boots, and he would no more have
done without new pair of white kid
gloves every evening than without his
dinner Other men, like Nestor de
Roqueplan, Alfred de Musset and Major
Fraser, did not mind having their gloves
cleaned, though the process was not SO
perfect asst is now. Eugene Sue averred
that the smell of cleaned gloves made
him i'll. The unhappy man finally fell
into poverty, was quietly cashiered from
his fashionable clubs and died in OBJ
scurity. Chicago Post.

Black Costumes in Paris.

There's black rage in Paris; it's the
style to look as if you were in light
mourning there, whether it's so or not.
All the toilets one sees are black of
some description or black and white
that is, all but the hats. A woman may
go out deeply and solemnly robed in a
garment that one would surely suppose
to be worn as token of grief until ones
eyes reached the headgear, when its
light and brilliant coloring would imme-
diately dispel the effect. They're not a
bit consistent in gay Paris, else one
might think they had at last reached a
period of sobriety and common sense;
that they had concluded to be more like
their English sisters and settle down in
quieter and more subdued colors. But
when woman wears black gown and
a hat containing several colors of the
rainbow in bright display there is little
foundation for the belief, after ALL
Paris Letter.

pIolinr Out Thieves by Their Ewes.

Picking Out Thieves by Their Eyes.
The eye always indicates the charac-
ter of the man. This is particularly
true of thieves, for the expert detective
can tell in almost every case whether or
not man is thief by simply looking
him squarely in the eye. Awell known
detective in speaking of this matter,
said:
eyes, l can pick out thief every time
1 can't tell you what it is that gives the
man away except that it is the express
sion of the eye. In the drst place, there
are few thieves that will look you
squarely in the eye unless they are
obliged to do SO. They will avoid your
glance as long as they can, and even
when they do face you and gaze steadily
at you it is always with the same ex-
preston. Although their eyes may be
wide open and the gaze apparently
steady you will see, if you look closely,
that there is something away back
through the corner trying to avoid you.
I have picked out numbers of thieves by
this little lodging movement. | never
saw thief who was free from it.
Everybody has met that man who
resolutely refuses to meet steady gaze
for more than three or four seconds at a
time. It is not fair to say that all such
persons are dishonest. In many cases
this popularity is a direct result of bash
fulness. A little close observation will
enable the observer to put persons in
the class to which they belong. The
man whose eye is almond shaped is al
most always dishonest at heart, if not
in overt act. The eyes of some of the
most notorious thieves In the country
are Of this pattern, and the expression
given the face by this sort of eye is very
striking. ."-Pittsburg Press.

How to Get a Postoffice.

There are great many interesting
facts and figures connected with post
offices and their masters. For instance,
when a countryman is tired Of walking
or driving several miles for his mail and
concludes that the government should
bring it nearer, he should state that fact
to the first assistant postmaster general,
whose clerks will furnish him with in
structions and blank petition for the
neighbors to sign. If he wants the new
Office bad enough to make the govern
ment think it a necessity, he will doubt
less get it.
At the same time he will be told that
in naming it prefxes such as least, "
Center and the like, the sufixes
"boro," "burgh," "city," etc., are equal
ly Objectionable. Short, characteristic
names are preferred. Kate Fields

An Invention That Promises to Make Life
Worth Living for Many.
vhe wind has long been tempered to
the shorn lamb, but the baldhead has
had to 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 SO numerously
il perhaps better evidence of his hustling
ability than Of his innate goodness.
Why, no one appears able to tell, but
sertain it is that from time immemorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
reverence.
It will be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to ego up" This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved journey TO sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. Be
that as it may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute of hairy adornIhent has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule.
But it is long lane which has no
turning, and the baldhead's turn has
come at last. Some enterprising philan-
thropist has invented a polish for the
hairless crown which is warranted to
turn it into thing Of beauty and joy
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of q polish, which is easily ap-
piled by barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown shine 80 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 may
not be able to appreciate the value of
this discovery. The value is there just
the same. With a little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall an easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while he can lie down to
dreams unbroken by the assaults of
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is at hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
covery cannot be overrated. With his
sparsely thatched crown protected from
the attacks of envious Cascas the bald
head will recover from his tendency to-
ward the use of unauthorized expletives,
and he may even rise to the point Of
taking front seat in the sanctuary in
fly time. Relieved of the necessity for
turning his skull into block upon
which to butcher the musca domestica,
ETC., he will be able to turn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he has
dong stood in need, -,ore zgR
If there is justice in all things, the
man who makes two blades Of grass
grow where one has grown before will
have to take back seat when the in
ventor Of the polish for baldheads comes
in for his reward.
Verify, these be glorious times, and
the baldhead is one of the chief partici-
pators In them.-Troy Times.

English Rulers and the Language.

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, and if William the
Conqueror, William Rufus and others
knew tho language they kept the fact to
themselves.
The early French kings, in fact, re-
garded England as a conquest and
France as their home. Richard 1, for
instance, spent but 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. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Intelligent Ants.

Several species of ANTS in South Amer
ica make raids on the black ants, rob
them of their Larvae and compel the poor
black ants to be their slaves. In the
burying of their dead, ants show won
derful intelligence, having cemeteries,
and even bury their slaves in different
place from their masters and are quite
up in funeral pageantry. Much may be
learned from ant life in their wonder
full government, sanitary arrangement,
common brotherhood, nursing and care
of the young, temperance and love oi
fresh air.-Cincinnat Commercial Ga

meters for measuring Electricity.

In discussion in London ON meters
for measuring electrical energy it was
shown that in the Frager meter the
energy could be made from 300 to 400
times greater than thai indicated by the
meter by simply closing and opening the
circuit at proper intervals. With a
Thomson meter it was said to be very
easy to force the readings with the aid
of STRONG magnet applied outside the
meter boxes. Fraud is therefore very
easily practiced upon such meters, pro-
vided one understands them. = New
