From time immemorial the proctors Of the
English universities of oxford and Cambridge
have had the extraordinary power Of arrest
ing and sending to jail any woman, whatever
her character. who might be seen walking
with q student. Recently there have been
several fragrant examples of the abuse of this
police privilege of university officers, and
measures are about to be taken to put limit
to the prOctor's anomalous Jurisdiction.
One of the drawbacks to the wearing Of rus
| set shoes is the fact that they so easily take
on a rusty look. An easy scheme for keeping
them clean and bright Is given in the Chat
ham Republican by one whose own footgear
testtfies TO the value OF his plan He says:
with piece of nice, ripe banana l can not
| only keep russell shoes clean. but can keep
| them polished as well. L simply take piece
| of banana and grease the leather with il, and
| then. polish it with cloth In this way all
the discolorations are removed and polish is
obtained.
The most serious menace to church-going
in England is said to be cycling. few
churches have tried to induce the wheelmen
to come in for morning service but the
bicycles OF a few who have done so have been
stolen by local church members, and the
wheelmen now say that they will not go to
church unless the church inSuFes their ma
chimes. Many of the clergy have become
| enthusiastic wheelmen, and II is said that one
country parson who was recently called on to
oh1c1ate at funeral wanted to ride to the
cemetery on a wheel, wearing his surplice.
The Vienna Freie Presse reports from Con
stantinople that recently the ladies Of the sui
| tan's harem were vaccinated by Dr. Muracei
an Italian physician and resident Of Pera. In a
large hall Of the seraglio high screen was
placed, with hole in 1t wide enough to pass
through the arm to be inoculated. One hun
dred and thirty-six Of the most beautifully
shaped female limb appendages of oriental
and occidental womanhood appeared, one
after the other, through the opening, some
snow white, some as black as ebony, but none
without qutvertng shake, sometimes accom-
panied by stifed cry or sigh when the cruel
knife pierced it's velvety skin. The vaccina-
tion took place in the presence OF number of
eunuchs; Their chief, gigantic Abyssinian,
threw black veil over the doctors head as
change OF arms was to be made.
PROFESSIONALLY America is the country OF
the acknowledgements of woman, says the New
Orleans Ptcayune. Even the Chinese woman
makes advances here, as is proved by the
career OF Fong Kow q 17-year-old native of
California, who is now playing on the boards
of a Chinese theater in San Francisco. and
packing 1t TO the doors. She is said to be
very attractive in appearance, and to possess
no little histrionic talent. II is certain that
her charms have caused the staid merchants
of Chinatown to forget the Geary act and
each night they fight for places in the bald
head row. Miss Kow was born in Los An
geleS, where she made several appearances in
small theater. A long headed frisco man
ager saw her there and recognized what
drawing card she would be- as female charac-
ters have hitherto been. personated here by
male Chinese with high falsetto voices.
The crinoline question has not yet disap-
peGred from among the topics the foreign
press is discussing. A German correspondent
calls attention to the fact, probably known TO
only small minority of those interested In
the subject, that crinoline is derived from the
Latin crlnis, hair, and linum flax since the
crinoline, afterward expanded by monstrous
hoops was originally stiff petticoat made of
haircloth. Donna mobile" (woman is
changeable) he quotes from Verdi's "Rigo-
a certain sportive logic inherent in her tickle
fancy. Seeing that the other sex opposes the
adoption of the hairy undergarment she is
bound to have l45r revenge by cultivating that
hirsute appendage which hitherto the male
sex considered it's peculiar and distinctive
adornment-a mustache." Referring to
learned countryman's assertion that in Con
stanttnople one out OF ten women possesses
more or less dense down on the upper lip, he
contends that this masculine characteristic
is observable among the ladies not only on
the Golden Horn but all over Southern
Europe, Spain, Italy and France, and strange
to say, advancing its conquests among the
golden-haired maidens Of the Fatherland
The first day of the week was Dies Soils
with the Romans; Sunnan daeg with the
Saxons, saws the St Louis Republic Monday
was Monan daeg with the Saxons; Dies
Lunae with the Romans. The Teue daeg of
old Saxon times-TueSday of to-day-was Dies
Martis, the day of Mars, the war god, accord
ing to the Roman mode OF reckoning and rules
of Nomenclature. The fourth day of the week
was the Wodens daeg of the Saxons. In
plain English. ii was the day of Odin, the
warlike god Of most of the northern races and
the nearest in character to the Roman war god
Mars With the Romans it was Dies Muir
currii Mercury S day. The fifth day of the
week, the Thor's daeg of the Scandinavian
nations was also known by name which
| signihed the Thunderers day among the Ro-
mans, it being their Dies Jovis. Jove and
Thor were both thunder gods. Friday, which
the Romans dedicated to Venus and called
Dies Veneris, received the name it now bears
on account of 1t being the old day set apart
upon which to worship Friga, NEUROLOGICAL
character which corresponds almost exactly
to the Roman Venus. The Saxons called
Friday Frigen daeg. The last day of the
week took the name 1t now bears from the
Roman Dies Saturni, and the Saxon appel
lative of Scatter daeg from mythical dieties
which very closely approach each other in
character.
Herr Dove, the tailor of Mannheim on the
Rhine, who has become famous by his bullet
proof uniform, recently told friend that he
would probably turn crazy before he would
reap the fruits of his invention. Il have at
tracted the worlds curiosity he remarked
land its inquisitlve stare somehow seems to
glaze my brain. Just look at this!" And
the inventor drew forth from his pockets
dozens of kilograms, dispatches photographs
and letters partly filed with inquiries and
proposals, partly with poetic and patriotic
exhortations. admonishing him not to sell his
patent to the foes of the Fatherland The
unfortunate man can hardly save himself
from reporters, patent solicitors manufact-
urers and military men. Whenever he vent

His house is guarded for fear lest he be kid
mapped or his armor stolen, which has been
sufficiently tested to induce a Berlin firm to
offer large sum for the exploitation Of the
patent The Kelnische Volkzeitung states
that DOVE has offered his invention to Chan
cellor Won Caprfvi for the sum of 100000
marks also that the Paris Figaro had twice
telegraphed 20 the inventor without receiv-
ing an answer. From Vienna comes the news
that similar invention was made there bv
Engineer Karl Scarnejo ten years ago and
