The Usefulness of Titles.

Impecunious aristocrats know the
value Of a good name and are not averse
to making a practical use of it. Not
long ago the following advertisement
appeared in French paper:
''The owner of a historical name,
and belonging to a royal family, wishes,
in consequence of pecuniary losses, to
place his name at the disposal of joint
stock company or some other great COM
mercial or financial enterprise in return
for adequate remuneration. -
Another impecunious aristocrat thus
makes his plea: "a nobleman, married
to a lady who is member of royal
family, desires to meet with an appoint
ment for himself and wife in one and
the same house. He would prefer the
post Of manager of some estate or Of a
manufacturing concern, though the cou-
pie would not object to the situation of
tutor and governess in German fam
ily."
Still another is this: IA young, hand
some German prince, Of very ancient
family, and related to several reigning
houses and possessing no debts, desires
to marry lady of very good personal
appearance, American most preferred,
but who must have dot worthy Of the
princely rank Of the advertiser. Anony-
nous letters will not be answered. -

A Hero.

Last summer man in my employ
exhibited an act Of presence of mind and
self control that might we'll be compared
to the deeds Of daring on the field of
battle,' remarked John L. Nevins, a
New York contractor 1.-TWO workmen
were engaged in repairing the lightning
rod of the steeple of a church. To &C
complish this somewhat difficult and
dangerous task it had become necessary
for one Of the workmen to stand on the
shoulders of his companion. While in
this position sudden gust Of wind
caused him to spill quantity of molten
lead, which fell on the hand and arm
Of his friend Notwithstanding the sud-
den and intense pain, the brave man
never finched and had the courage to
remain motionless while the lead burn
ed its way into his flesh. He knew that
q movement Of his was liable to precipi-
tate his companion from the dizzy
height into the street below, and he en-
dured the pain rather than risk the life
Of his fellow worker. st. Louis Globe

Paying For Their Keep.

The proprietor Of a chemical works
received from his shoemaker pair of
water tight boots, which he was, how
ever, unable to wear, as they were a
trifle too small He therefore gave them
to one Of his workmen to wear for a
few days and stretch them to the re-
quired dimensions Several weeks passed
over, and the employer had forgotten all
about the boots when he was suddenly
reminded Of them in curious fashion:
On certain pay day the workman in
question, after drawing his wages, lin
gered at the desk as if waiting for some
thing. The manufacturer then said:
"Well, Kruger, what is it?''
II want more money, was the reply.
"Wha-what? Haven't you got your
full wages?''
''Oh, aye!'' answered Kruger, after
ward adding, with the greatest COM
posture: ''But you We still got to pay me
3a cd. for getting your boots soled.
They'v been out Of repair, you know!'

The velocity with which solar storms
move is very great, and they sometimes
extend over a space several times as
large as the whole of the earth's sur
face. In common parlance they are
called "sun spots," but as they are
known to have a rotary motion exactly
similar to terrestrial cyclones they may
be regarded rs true solar storms It has
been computed by eminent astronomers
that these sun storms move with the
astonishing velocity of 1870 miles per
second, and we can best form an ade-
quate conception of what the force of
such storm must be by comparing it
to an earth storm moving at 100 miles
an hour, which is indeed terrible hur-
ricane. Darlington and Hodgson, the
English astronomers, describe q sun
storm which travelled IS, 900 miles in
five minutes, and in 1871 Professor
Young of Cincinnati witnessed one that
Travelled 166 miles per second for As
minutes and constantly threw sheets of
flame and fiery matter to a height of
not less than 900, 900 miles above the
suns disturbed surface!-St. Louis Re-

And She Never Sent Them to School.


They say that the school attendance
officer in a thriving provincial town,
which shall be nameless, was recently
the victim of practical joke.
He received an anonymous letter in
forming him that at a certain house
were two kids who were not attend
ing school. He at once started for the
house indicated, and in reply to his Of
fetal knock came the good woman of
the house.
"You have two children who do not
go to school, said the officer.
''Children?'' said the woman. "We've
no children. -
"Oh, yes, you have!' said the officer:
The woman stepped back and called
her husabnd:
Here, John, here's man says we
have some children and they don't go
to school,"
John came forward.
"You are mistaken, SIR, said he.
''But read this," persisted the officer.
The man read, at first with puzzled
expression, and then light broke over
his face

must admit. My kids don't attend
school, certainly. because I really don {
like to send them.''

Double Flowers,

Nearly all the double flowers of gar.
dens were first found wild. Double but
tercups, double primroses, double dali
sizes, double roses and many other things
were first discovered among their wild
fellows and introduced into the gardens
The florist, however, can produce dou-
BILE flowers He watches this tendency
in nature. IF flower usually has five
petals, and he discovers that some of
the stamens have somewhat of petal
like character, the pollen is taken from
these flowers and others in normal
condition fertilized with this pollen.
The tendency, once started, is then CIV
en- to the progeny. Almost any species
of plant will in this way be capable
of producing double flowers It is sur
prising that, with this knowledge, more
attempts at this line Of Improvement in
ordinary garden flowers are not made.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
How Should Chicago Gent Ask : Iady &C
q Ball to Dancer

How Should Chicago Gent Ask Lady &C
Ball to Dancer
Among the many seekers for truth
who daily tap The Times reservoir Of
information comes one who modestly
shields his identity behind the initials
FL LII he inquiries:
(Which is the proper way for gent
at q ball to ask lady to dancer
The question submitted by IL. e. T.
is received with the utmost satisfaction.
Standing alone, it is refutation of
those cruel ISLANDERS and gibes in the
writing Of which eastern persons earn
their fugitive existence. It has been
charged against Chicago that her citi-
zens are too ardent in the pursuit of the
changing iron dollar to give attention to
the amenities of life It is further libel
ously alleged that the soft, sensuous
music Of the rout and the ball falls fiat
and dull upon the Chicago tympanum
attuned to the song Of the dying swine.
In brief, it is asserted by eastern critics
that there is no fine, silky aspect to the
nature Of the Chicagoese-no gu1ndrop
side to the character. Does not the art
less query Of the retiring 81 L. L"
afford sufficient proof to the contrary?
Does it not also show that the efforts
OF The Times toward leading it's sub
scribers to a higher intellectual and So
cial life have not been in vain?
But to the question. It all depends l..
l. L Out in Bridgeport, for instance,
the gent being unused perhaps to every
day association with the ladies, ap-
proaches the subject with trembling, but
in logical way withal He first builds
his nerve.
"Gimme some barbed wire,' - he says
to the man in front of the back bar
"What dyer wash wid?''
''Seltzer, fer a chaser and the pre-
liminaries are thus arranged. Then the
gent goes to the other end Of the hall
with proud, naughty front, lays his
hat on chair and his cigar with it and
says:
you're my pick, I" to which the lady
responds, "Well, catch on den,'' or
maybe invites him to go take walk.
Over Humboldt park way the process
is much the same, although the Ian
guage is different. At Uhlich's hall,
over by the bridge, there is slight differ
ence, except that the gent who is wise
i'll his generation wears his hat and
keeps the cigar in his mouth. On West
Madison street: HAS yer got a bloke
for de mex reel? No? Come wild me, sis
Come wild me- -
Farther to the southwest, in the Blue
Island avenue district, LES trash out
few more Of de floor;n boards seems
to be the proper form. Due reverence
must be paid local prejudice, and it is
impossible in a case Of such Importance
as this to formulate rule. Bear in
mind in this connection that if the lady
declines the request no true gent will
strike her. All society sets it's face
against this. Chicago Times

HOW GREEK LADIES DRESSED.
It L Surprising to Learn That They Laced
and Wore Flounced Skirts.

.11 and Wore Flounced Skirts.
Women in Homer embroider gar
ments, and many Of these are brought
from Sidon. They wear wells, but on
the whole their dress, long smock and
girdle, was apparently much like that
Of later Greece. This is odd, for on a
gold ring from MycenB, very old, we
see women with exuberant busts, tight
waists and petticoats heavily befounced.
The same costume appears on a Myce-
naean ring picked up by Frrtwangler
in a curiosity shop. Two ladies are Ca
rousing out Of champagne glasses. They
are very tightly laced. A lady on a My
cenean gem from Vapheio is laced to ex-
tinctioa and has seven dounces. The
British museum owns g lentoid gem,
where Leto wears only a crinoline, with
no petticoat over it. Dipylon vases dis
play both men and women with tiny
waists. Men, in Mycenean art, wear
little but very short drawers and shields.
In Homer the chiefs, summoned on q
night alarm, come out in dressing
gowns, some Of them in skins.
The historical dress for ladies was a
large piece of cloth a foot longer than
the wearer was tall and as wide as her
arms could stretch. When put on by a
fair Briton, it usually falls off again. A
belt partly kept it up, and safety pins
were used in very early times By TAX
ing bath towel-a good, big one-and
trying what she can make Of it as her
full costume, a modern nymph may
partly understand the toilet of her an
cient sisters. When once she has got it
on, she stands with extended arms, and
another lady fastens girdle round her
waist; then she pulls up the superfuous
length through the girdle and let's it
long she will remain thus is an extreme
~ delicate question. Straps, like braces,
were sometimes worn and crossed over
the breast, being fastened to the girdle.
Ladies had no bonnets-they mufHed
their heads in a fold of their cloa]ks or
wore fiat hats. They were all very beau
tiful and charming, as we see in the
Tanagra terra Gotta. It must have been
delightful to live in Tanagra. It ap-
pears, on the whole, that we cannot hope
to revive Greek dress. The dress was de-
signed for warm climate and for a
beautiful, shapely grace. It had it's adj
vantages in the matter of health, as
there was no tight lacing after the N.Y.
cen@an age. The style was not extrava-
CANT or costly, but it is impossible. HGs-
theticism cannot bring it back. An @s-
thete in q chiffon and sandals on a cold
and rainy day would be an unlovely OBJ
jet. He would be wrapped in a blanket
thrust into four wheeler and sent to a
hospital Not for all the glory that was

Few people imagine the amount Of la
Dor involved in a days typewriting or
realize the distance the hand travels in
that length Of time.
The highest rate Of speed ever attain
ed is 200 words a minute. This is sup
posed to be the result Of the most rapid
movements the human hands are capa-
BILE of. The person making this record
maintained this speed for only four con-
secutive minutes and has never been able
to exceed that limit. -
Assuming the words averaged six let
tiers apiece, 1900 letters minute were
| written.
It is estimated that to make each let
ter the fingers are raised to height Of
two inches from the keyboard. Two
inches added for the descending move
ment make the fingers travel four inches
before each letter is struck. So this ex-
pert's hand in writing these 900 words

this distance by one-third to estimate
