A Large Wardrobe.

AS the Prince of Wales has set the
race in matters of fashion for many
years past it is something of interest
to know how his purchases are made.
According tc one of the British papers
tie prince never orders less than eight
suits of clothes at time for each of
which he pays the uniform price OF $40.
He never wears pair of trousers more
than four times. and since his valet
does not fall heir to his wardrobe, and
as his discarded clothes are not among
the perquisites of his valet, there is a
stock of thousands of them at Marlbor-
ough house. At his death he will doubt
less have as large q collection as did
King George ", the auction of whose
clothes extended through three weeks.
All the princes clothes, old and new
except his hats, which for some reason
are kept at Sandringham- stored at
Marlborough house in what is known
as the brushing rooms" where several
men are kept busy looking after them.
The uniforms and state robes alone at
Marlborough house are insured for $40
600. so that his entire wardrobe must
represent a very comfortable fortune.

Kept His w ord.

Prince Bismarck and q friend, after
heavy days shooting, sat together sip
ping their wine and comparing notes OF
their days adventures.
Bismarck's friend complained that he
was excessively tired, and would be I'M
able to get up at o'clock the next morn
ing to join the sport. Bismarck assured
him that he would see that he got up
at the right time, whether he would or
not.
On retiring to their bedrooms, which
adjoined each other, he barred and bar
ricaded the door, to prevent Bismarck
from carrying out his threat.
At half-past 6 on the following morn
ing the chancellor knocked at the door,
calling on his friend to get up. His
friend didn't, but turned on his pillow to
enjoy another snOOze.
Then Bismarck seized his gun. went
below into the yard, and fired through
the window of his friends bedroom,
hitting the ceiling above the bed, and
bringing Il shower of plaster down on
the head and shoulders of the sleeper.
In the greatest alarm his friend arose
and looked out of the window to see
what was the matter. Seeing nobody
he hastily donned his clothes and ran
downstairs. Here he met Bismarck who
gravely babe him Good morning." and
added: Il hope you slept well; it is just

Solved the Problem.

No doubt many a shopkeeper has been
made very weary of the political discus
sions INDUCED in by the 'sitters" in his
establishment. Others, however, seem
entirely willing to furnish quarters for
the garrulous statesmen, who are ready
to settle great public questions offhand.
Philadelphia has one of this sort. He IS
the owner of a downtown cigar store,
and is nothing if not accommodating
He is also full Of fairly good ideas. His
latest thought manifested itself re-
Gently. The store over which he presides
is a great resort for two very talkative
classes of people. The counter in the
store is a long one. Back of it at one
end is this sign: "Talk Baseball Here "
Down at the other end, separated by
distance through which the most excited
argument would be difficult to make itself
heard, is another sign. 1t reads: Talk
Politics Here cts great scheme"
says the cigar dealer. Il had trouble
enough to drive me crazy keeping the
political cranks and the baseball roOters
apart until I figured it out. Now all is
as serene as a Sunday school picnic"
AS there is neither patent nor copyright
on the scheme, it will not be surprising
if it's adoption becomes general.

LEFT AN AMERICAN WIFE.
Baroness Zedtwitz was Once Miss Ca1d
we'll of Newport.

baroness Zedtwitz was Once Miss Cald
we'll of Newport.
The wife of Baron Zedtwitz, who was
killed on his yacht off Southsea, Eng
land, last week, was before her marriage
one Of the wealthy Misses Caldwell,
who were at one time said to be the
Wealthiest unmarried women in this
country. They were born III Kentucky
and were educated at the Convent OF the
Sacred Heart in Manhattanville, after
having passed the greater part OF their
childhood at Newport. Their father lett
a fortune of about $5,000,OOO, which
was to be divided between the two sis
tiers. The late Eugene Kelly, who was
their guardian for many years, looked
after their affairs. Both of the young
women passed much of their time
abroad, and Notwithstanding their great
wealth they were comparatively un-
known to American society. Since her
sisters marriage to Baron ZedtWltz,
Miss Gwendoline Caldwell, who was the
older of the two, has passed her time al
most entirely in Europe, although she
occasionally visits this country. She
was seriously i'll for several months last
year at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Her
engagement to Prince Joachim Napoleon
Murat several years ago was the only IN
timation that her friends ever received
from her of ar intention to accept any
OF the numerous SultOrS WHOM 50
wealthy a woman naturally attracted in
Europe. Prince Napoleon, who is now
more than 60 years old, and was recent
ly retired from the French army, became
engaged to Miss Caldwell in 1889. Elab-
crate preparations for the wedding were
made, and only on the day it was ex-
pected to take place was the news cabled
to this country that the marriage was
off. Nothing had happened up to that
time to indicate the possibility of such
an event, and Miss CaldwelPs friends
were eager to hear what had happened.
Miss Caldwell had always shown her
self perfectly capable Of, looking after
her large fortune, and when it became
known here that her betrothed had in
sisted on a prenuptial settlement which
practically put him in control of all her
means, the cause of her prompt with
draWal from the engagement was under
stood. The prince was a VIGOROUSLY eX-
traTagant man, and although his gam
bling debts had been paid repeatedly by
Napoleon Ill, his private means were
completely exhausted. One of his con-
ditions was that his American wife
should settle all his debts, which would
have proved mighty drain even on
fortune as large as hers. He was born
in New jersey, and lad been a WidQWer
only 4 few Years when he became be-
trothed to Miss Caldwell, who since her
experience with him has never again
been even reported as engaged to a titled
fOreigner.--NeW York Sun.

TREED BY A BIG MOOSE.
Threw a Stone at ii Thinking it Lag
cling Cow.


"Jack" Clark is a stout boy of II
years, living at Sherman, Me. He goes
out after the COWS every night and drives
them home to the tie-up, always in the
greatest safety, but the other night he
had an adventure which has led to the
substitution of his older brother in the
gathering of the kline O. nights.
Last Saturday night Jack went down
after the cattle. The animals were in
the pasture, and it was dark almost be-
fore he got to them. He started them
home with some speed, but one Jagged in
the shadows under the trees,
Jack threw a stone at the supposed
cow, and got a very large surprise in re-
turn for it. He heard the stone strike
the animal with a hollw thump on its
ribs, and expected to see the COW come
out from under the trees on a swinging
in the opening and made for the young
ster.
Jack sized up the animal at first sight.
Boys and girls, when they get big enough
to walk the streets of Sherman in boots
and stockings, know wild animals when
they see them. So Jack knew the moose.
He made for the nearest tree and scoOted
up it with small delay.
The moose was close at the boys heels
when he climbed into the lower branches.
and snorted around the foot of the trunk
in way that made the boy SILVER and
grab the limbs closer. After about an
hour the big brute went off in rod-long
| jumps. Jack came down, ran for home,
and told the story.-Boston Globe.

Lowering the CoIors at Sunset.

One of the most popular things that
Secretary of War Lamont has ever done
is lis adoption of a new regulation con-
corning the lowering Of the national
colors at military posts at sunset. No
longer is the flag unceremoniously pulled
down Immediately after the firing Of the
sunset gun. Its descent is now marked
with a dignity and decorum becoming
the country's ensign. Under the new
rule, the usual retreat call is sounded
and then the gun is fired. The band
Immediately commences to play '"The
Star-Spangled Banner" which is contin-
ued while the flag is being slowly low
cred to the ground, while all hats are
dotted, and under no conditions must the
flag touch the ground until the last chord
of the national anthem has been sound
ed.-New York Times.

Oldest Match Factory.

Sweden has the Oldest and largest
match factory in the world. Matches
We're made there long before the old,
roughly trimmed splinter of wood tipped
with sulphur was discarded with the tin
der boxes for which they were used. In
twenty-five years the export trade of
Sweden in modern matches increased to
100000 boxes a year. Some of the
machines for making the matches which
we use in these days make 200 revolu-
tons a minute each, and turn out about
100000 boxes annually. Altogether
there are in Europe about $4,000 fac
tories, and they yearly produce matches
valued at 100000 600.

Didn't Want Advice.

A Lancashire laborer, not feeling quite
well, was persuaded by his wife to con-
suit a doctor.
The DOCTOR after making thorough
examination of him, told him there was
nothing serious the matter with him,
but advised him to be more careful with
his diet, lot smoke as much as usual.
and, above all, to abstain from whisky
for a little time.
The laborer thanked the doctor, and
was preparing to leave when the latter
called him back and said: Il beg your
pardon. but | charge half a crown for
my advice"
''Mebbe you do" replied the laborer,
"but I'm no taking it." And he went
out without paying it.

With the decline of the grape crop
in France, increased attention has been
paid to the cultivation of apples and
the production of cider, which has, in
measure, superseded wine as the national
drink. Official statistics just published
show that there were 678,000,00O gallons
of cider produced in France in 1895, be-
ing an increase Of 197 100000 gallons
over the preceding year.

Secret Photographing.

One of the most ingenious methods in
the world for photographing persons and
keeping them in ignorance of the fact
is that of the Bank Of France. The
bank has hidden studio in a gallery be-
hind the cashiers desk, so that at
signal from one of the bank employees
any suspected customer will instantly
have his picture taken without his own
knowledge. The camera has also be-
come very useful in the detection of
frauds, word or figure that to the
eye seemed completely erased being
clearly produced in photographs of the
document that had been tempered with.
