FREED DECORATIONS.

THE Order of the Ear of Corn is the peculiar title of an order established in Brittany in 1442. Its members took an oath to encourage as far as possible the agricultural interests of the country.
 DURING the days of Armenian inde- pendence an order was founded in that most ancient of countries; it was en- titled the Order of St. Blaise, and was established by an Armenian king in ITO.
 THE Order of Christian Charity was established in France in 1858, for the purpose of encouraging organized be- nevolent effort. It was one of the few distinctions more benevolent than po- litical or social.
 THE Order of the Deaths Head is the somewhat peculiar designation of an order of knighthood, founded by Louisa Elizabeth, of Marburg, in 1709. It is a female order and has very limited membership.
 BEFORE the days ot the empire, the most highly coveted distinction in France was the star of the Order of St. Denis. It was founded in 1267, and was greatly encouraged during the lat ter days of the Bourbons.

A HUMBlED DANDY.

The Heartless Trick Played Upon Him by
 Lord Randolph Churchill.
 At an entertainment once, where Lady Randolph Churchill was playing on the piano, says Kate Fields Wash ington, tall youth was observed pay ing languid and rather irsolent atten- tion to the music, standing close enough to the performer to have his comments easily overheard by her. Lord Randy" was close at hand, too, and presently heard the vapid youth remark: ''Deuced fine music, you know, but it lacks veal soul-it lacks veal soul" To the critics astonishment, muscular young man, with big mustache, whom he had not noticed before, whispered in his ear: "For shilling I'd wallop the life out of you!" He hastened to withdraw, but without discovering the identity of the author of the menace. The next day, to his delight, he received an invi- tation to the Churchills' home, which he accepted with avidity. On entering the house he was met by his threatening neighbor of the night before, who, he at once discerned, must be Lord Ran dolph. He proceeded no further than the entrance hall, for Churchill beck oned to the drawing-room, and out foated Lady Churchill. "This fellow has come to apologize to you for his re- marks of last night" hissed Lord Ran dolph. "Now," to the stranger, down on your knees!" Down went the dandy, isping out the most abject plea for for giveness. Then he was turned over to footman to be put ignominiously out of the door, while the host followed his retreating figure with roar of de- risive laughter,

LOS ANGELES GIVES GREETING.
Answers to Official Communications
 From Phoenix

Los Angeles Herald: Mayor Rader yesterday received the following off cial letter, signed by R. l.. Rosson, mayor of Phoenix, and attested to by T. A. Jobs, the recorder of that city:
 Dear Sir-On- behalf of the common council and citizens of Phoenix, per init me to extend to you, your council and the citizens of Los Angeles, most cordial invitation to attend the Phoe- nix carnival festivities, projected for February 19, 20, 21 and 22, 1896. Our municipal gates are thrown wide open and the freedom of Arizona's capital is hereby extended to you all as fully and cordially as words, our city chart CT and our hearts can offer such a courtesy"
 Max Meyberg, chairman of the Mer- chants association, has received from Mayor Rosson of Phoenix the following letter:
 Ut is with as much pleasure as pride that our city council and citizens gen erally have learned, through Director General Hatch, of your intended visit to Phoenix during our carnival holi- days, February 18th, 20th, 21st and 22d ,
 NtOn behalf of our municipal govern ment and all our citizens, permit me to extend to yourself and your associa- tion, as well as all the good people of Los Angeles, a most hearty welcome, not only on this occasion, but at any and all times when you may see fit to honor us with your presence"
 To which MT. Meyberg has replied as follows: S>
 'Your letter of February 9th, ex- tending to the citizens of Los Angeles the hospitality of your city, has been received. Allow me, in behalf of our merchants and citizens, to thank you for the expression of good feeling to- ward us. dos Angeles, the metropolis of southern California, feels proud ot being greeted through you by the peo- pie of Phoenix, and we hope that the friendship which we try to express to you through our visit to your city will lead to a lasting one. Arizona and and California being together. Sin cere and honorable men will succeed in stemming the tide of selfishness ot this century by just such pleasant visits to each other, devoid of self-in- terest, and purely as an expression oi good will. This beautiful world oi ours can be made paradise by the mingling of men as friends not enc mies."

Chinamen Use Big Cargoes of Twtne in
 Their Cues.
 Two or three curiosities of commerce are mentioned in the report of the commissioner of customs at Canton. Woolen goods, says the New York Journal of Commerce, are not much in demand in that latitide, but ''woolen cord is now very largely used by the natives here for plating into their cues, and the importations of this arti- cle are steadily increasing" The i'm creased from three million gallons in 1888 to more than nine million five hundred thousand gallons in 1891. It is peddled on the street. The empty cans serve great variety of uses. The domestic servant delights in them as convenient and all-embracing recepta- cles, and readily fashions them into handy utensils for daily use. They are converted into lamps, boxes, toys for children, and all sorts of domestic articles. Flattened and pieced to- gether one sees them generally used in conjunction with the usual mating as coverings for boats and sheds. They supply the packing tins in which lard and ginger are exported. 1.-The tinware sent from here to the northern ports consists largely of lamps, boxes and various small articles made of old kero- sene tins and ornamented with lacquer varnish." Evidently the shipment ot oil to China in bulk is an expedient ot doubtful value.

Schilling's Minstrels is no exception to the rule, as the business done by this company so far this season has been simply enormous and no sign of hard times is visible in the places where they have appeared. One reason for this, no doubt, is the superior class of entertainment they are giving. The press without exception speak in the highest terms of the entire perform ance.

Utilizing Old shoes.

Old shoes are not waste, from the
standpoint of modern industry. After
they have done their service and are
discarded by the first wearers, sec
ond-hand dealer restores the worn
shoes to something like their former
appearance and they are sold again,
to be worn a little longer by the poor
or classes. When the shoes are finally
discarded by them they are still good
for various purposes. In France such
shoes are bought up in quantities by
rag dealers and sold to factories, where
the shoes are taken apart and submit
ted to long manipulations, which turn
them into a paste, from which the ma
terial Is transformed into an imitation
leather, appearing very much like the
finest morocco. Upon this material
stylish designs are stamped. and wall
papers, trunk coverings and similar ar
ticles are manufactured from II. An
other French industry using old dilapi
dated shoes is the Transforming of old

pelier. There the shoes are taken
apart, all the nails are taken out, and
then the leather is soaked in water
some time to soften it. From those
pieces that can be used are cut the up
pers for children's shoes, and parts of
the soles are similarly used. The small
est pieces of leather are applied to be
used in high Louis XIV. heels, which
were so much in style a few years ago.
Even the nails of the old shoes are
used again. They are separated by a
magnet, which attracts the steel nails,
while the copper and brass nails are
carried further on. The price received
for the old copper nails alone almost
pays for the first cost Of the old shoes.
Clippings and cuttings Of the leather
are also used, being turned into a
paste from which artificial leather is
made, and what is not good enough to
serve for this purpose is sold with the
sweepings to agriculturists in the
neighborhood, who use this paste with
great success as a fertilizer-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Quite n Stamping Ground.

I'VE are blessed with a domestic who
keeps us in hot water half the time
for fear we will lose her." said an east
end householder, land, naturally, she
is welcome to all the usual and good
many extraordinary privileges. Not
long ago she decided to buy bicycle
and when ii arrived it was a nine days
wonder for all the girls in the neigh
borhood. Every evening they came
over to admire it, My back yard is
large and nicely sodded and 1t speed
lily became cycle circus. Our girl did
most of the riding. with two or three
other girls to hold her on and a half
dozen more sitting on the fence to keep
out of the way. You never heard such
squealing and giggllng in your life. Our
girl would pedal her way along for n
dozen feet or so and then she and her
side partners would go down together
in one struggling heap and three or
four of the girls on the fence would
tumble off in sheer excitement.
II never had more fun than did last
evening watching them through the
screened window of our pantry. They
didn't notice me, of course, and tho
merriment was quite unrestrained.
Some of the girls are decidedly attrac-
tive and / was pleasantly taking in
the swift flashes of well-iilled hosiery
when felt sharp grip on my ear and
my wife led me back to the porch.
But the performance goes on Just
the same every evening. '-Clevelan

Electric Fan. for tn. sick Room.

Such weather. as Philadelphia has
recently experienced while enervating
enough to healthy people, is particul-
larly prostrating to those in i'll health.
and some scheme of obtaining a cool
draught of air in the sick room is. In
many cases, a matter of great import
ance. Obviously one of the best ways
to secure this is by means of an cleo
trio fan, but, unfortunately, an cleo
trio circuit with which to operate IL is
usually not available. To overcome
this difficulty a Philadelphia company
rents an outfit consisting of a storage
battery and electric fan, which will run
continuously for more than a week at
time without attention, and which
may be then replaced by another and
the discharged battery sent back to be
recharged. Though this business of
renting storage batteries for such pur-
poses is a new one, 1t Is undoubtedly
destined to wide usage in this and
other directions. For instance, many
people would be glad to have a fan in
the dining room during this extremely
oppressive weather, and this company
affords a means 10 secure this with
eight expense and no trouble.--Phil-
adelphia Record.

Worlds Increasing Population.

The astonishing growth of European
cities in the last twenty years is but
part Of movement in population
which is general throughout civilized
countries. 1t is certainly unprecedent-
ed in history.
In this country the increase from So
100000 to 100000 in less than two
decades is paralleled by Germany,
which has increased from 100000 to
100000 since the Franco-Prussian
war. England shows a like increase,
confined chiefly to the cities. While
ireland, Italy and Spain are not so re-
sponsive to the movement, ii is for
causes too well understood to make
their cases seem exceptional to the iule
that the great scientific and mechanical
improvements of the century are MAX
ing it possible for the world to produce
and support a larger population than
was dreamed of even by the most pro-
nounced opponents OF Malthusianism in
their controversies with the ignorant
theorists who believed that the limit
OF population had been or was about to

total population of the earth in the
time of Augustus Caesar did not ex-
coed 100000, so that in the United
States we have now more people than
the earth contained when the empire
of the Caesars was at it's greatest. Ac-
cording TO the same authority the pop
ulation Of Europe was only 50,O00,O0O
in the fifteenth century, while now it
is estimated at over 100000 people,
whose average of living is far higher
than that of the age of Augustus or
than that OF the fifteenth century. 1t
is becoming a more and more self-evi-
dent proposition that the increase of
civilization is not only accompanied by,
but is dependent on, an increase in pop
ulation. And no fact in economic his

tance.-New York Press.
