for Rejected Lovers
In Europe. and especially in France,
there is among fashionable people a
species of code in the use of sealing
wax. The white article is used for
communications relating to weddings,
black for mourning correspondence,
violet for expressions of sympathy.

lovers not yet affianced and brown for

Blue symbolizes constancy. yellow

reproaches.
Schoolgirls seal their letters with
pink wax, and intimate friends use
gray.
The use of sealing wax is exceeding
" ancient. 1t was not, however. until
the reign of King Louis Kill of
France that it became the fashion
among the higher classes of Europe.
The oldest known recipe for making
sealing wax was published in Augs-
burg in 1879. and prescribed almost the
same ingredients as those now en-
ployed-
The use of blue wax was formerly
restricted to royalty, a superhuous
provision owing TO the difficulty of i'm
parting this color to sealing wax. for
the reason that vegetable dyes when
united with wax become greenish-

Policy TIPS from Carriage Numbers.

Men who play policy are quick to
catch any chance suggestion from
combined numbers on which to play a
gig. If you should happen to come
along about the close of the opera
some evening-or of any entertain
ment where a good many carriages
play conspicuous part-you will be
sure to note the eagerness with which
the first numbers are received. Sup
pose the number 40" comes out, fol-
lowed by,''9" and 20" That is to say,
suppose these are the numbers of the
first three carriages called Half the
colored drivers in the crowd will play
these numbers at the first opportunity.
Nothing so appeals to the superstition
of the black man as any sort of
jingle in matters of policy. 1t Is not
unusual for a passing colored man to
suddenly pull out a memorandum book
and make a note of anything of that
sort for immediate use. All the favor

The Lock That Won't Lock.

logue of the minor annoyances of life,

lock that is utterly broken down.
but one that is in some way out of
killer. Sometimes it locks easily and
in a perfectly orderly manner at the
first turn of the key; usually the key
turns about half round and stops.
Then you turn the key back and try
again. and you try about seventeen
times. but every time it brings up
against something inside, and it won't
go any further. Some men at this stage
want TO kick the lock off the DIOR; he
is a rare man indeed who keeps his
temper in that doubly exasperating
moment when the lock which had
stubbornly resisted the most violent
and persistent wrenchings of the key
finally locks glibly at the slightest
touch. ". Y. Sun.

Rostelle Wants the House to Declare Its
Sense that willis should BE Re-
called from Hawaii.

WAsHINGToN. Feb. "a resolution
was introduced IN the house yesterday
| by Boutelle for the recall OF Minister
| Willis from Hawaii. 1t recites that the
antipathy Of the United States has been
always expressed to the intervention by
foreign minister in our domestic affairs
and the propriety Of not enforcing upon
weak power what we object to from a
strong power. 1t cites the praiseworthy
forbearance Of the Hawaiian government
toward Willis. and the ties Of commerce
/ and kindred that bind the United States
10 those islands. and concludes that il
shall be resolved.
That II is the sense Of this house
that the most sacred obligation Of good
faith, highest mutual interests Of the
United States and the friendly govern
ment Of Hawaii, the plainest dictates Of
international comfy and the imperative
duty OF avoiding further risk Of com
pllcity IN the incitement Of disorder and
possible bloodshed in Hawaii. require
that the present United States minister
To the Hawaiian government be lmme-
dIately recalled and superseded by an
other minister who will not be hampered
by the lamentable incident Of the re-
cent past. and who will be able and
willing 10 represent the sincere desire of
the people Of the United States to cult.
vate to the fullest extent the friendship
which so long subsisted between the
the United States and Hawaii. and To
constantly endeavo- to advance the in,
terests and prosperity of both govern
ments."
The resolution was referred TO the com.
mittee on foreign affairs
