NEEDS NO PROTECTION.
England's Royal Family Moves About
 Without the Necessity of Guards.

England's Royal Family Moves About
 Without the Necessity of Guards.
 The news that little Prince Edward of York numbered a defective and constable among his suite of attend ants savored of the ridiculous to those who know with what absolute freedom and safety the children and grand children of the queen move about their own country, says a writer in St. Paul's. The queen herself drives from end to end of her various estates with no more protection than can be afforded py middle-aged Scotch gillie. The prince of Wales, his broth CTS, and his son peram mbulate club land and the West End in exactly the same manner as do the most ordinary of Englishmen. Indeed, the prince of Wales is scarcely ever attended by an equerry, except when he rides in the row. The princess and her daughters drive all over London entirely unac- companied, save when in the height of the season mounted policeman clears the road for them through the park. The duke of York takes an early morn ing stroll in the Green park, invari- ably alone, while all the royal prin- -cesses walk down Bond street, shop, or drive in hansoms without anyone either protecting or molesting them.
 Apropos of police protection for roy atty the prince of Wales has funny story aoainst himself He was in Paris. and was strolilng alone, as usual, one fine morning, down the boulevards Stopping to chat to a friend, he com mented with considerable glee on the fact that he was able to go about Paris quite at his ease, and untranmelled by guards, police, or ceremonies of any kind, and that, in fact, nobody knew him. The prince was immensely amused afterward to learn that the French government are not SO careless as might be supposed, and that large staff of espions in plain clothes watch the prince from morning till night, and that on the very day he made the boast to his friend at least score of police were ''shadowing' him at but a few yards distance.

after dark during the hot weather, and though smaller trout will rise at dark as before, the largest ones are almost invariably taken much later, partic- ularly on warm nights.
 Of course the leaders and flies used at night are much larger than those used in the daytime, and Q long cast is not necessary. It is the custom to let the fly sink, and a bit of worm on the fly is great help, though, of course, one does not dwell on that feature when telling about his catch the next day. The flies used are the red and brown hackles, grizzly king, white miller, etc.
 1 have taken many trout when it was so dark I could not see the fly on the surface of the water for that matter. One pool in particular l remember that was entirely surrounded and overhung with large forest, trees, and at ten o'clock at night was as dark as any place I ever saw, yet I have taken trout there often at that hour during August

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
The New England Girl and the Widow
 Are the Ones Who Remain.

The New England Girl and the Widow
 Are the Ones Who Remain.
 In the offices in Washington the principal rival of the widow is the New England young woman, says the New York Commercial Advertiser There are Massachusetts girls who taught school twenty and thirty years ago who got into the departments and are there yet In the first place, the New England girl has been educated to the idea of making her own living and to regard marriage as very improbable
 She is, first of all, scholar, and scholar of natural capacity and breadth of character. She can doanything any man can do except. ncssit'v. climb tree. But she can cilinu {. cl9ll service examination, which is infinitely of more importance to the government and to herself. She may be Q widow, but she gets there, and she stays to a ripe old age. In fact, there is no rec ord of any widow or New England girl dying or getting married from a gov ernment office. Any one of them would scout the idea of leaving a salary of S1, 600 or S1 200 or S1 600 or S1, 800 year to do housework for some man who can't earn as much himself. So the New England girl and the widow stick to salary and leave romance to cal low fools
 As the civil service record shows that about one woman out of every sixth clerk is called for by bureau officials, nothing but superior adaptability and staying powers will account for the steady increase of women in all the de- partments. Perhaps the permanent removal of the subordinate places under the government from the polit- icai influences which once controlled them has done more for every class of employees who can rely upon their own merits than anything else has done.

CLOTHES MADE OF WOOD.

 probab,y Bring Forth.
 Time was when references to a wooden overcoat" were understood as the irreverent equivalent of measuring a'man for a coffin, but it would seem that suits of clothes made of wood may soon be an accomplished fact.
 The writer, says tho Edinburgh Scotsman, is indebted to merchant of the city of cloth-Leeds-fo a glimpse of samples of species of cloth, and also of a sort of cotton, made wholly out of wood fiber, these two woven pieces having all the appear ance of attractive articles of their OWE kind. Both these novel textile fabrics are the result of prolonged expert ments with pinewood and spruce, which have been ingeniously torn to pieces in the first instance and then bleached by an elaborate chemical process.
 After chemical treatment in many ways the wood .~oE-.. 5a soft, white pulp, which is run through perforated plates, the resulting threads being dried by steaming process.

The Peculiarity of the "R."

A little feature to be seen in some writings perhaps only to be dis tinguished as separate gesture by the aid of magnifying glass-is the tiny stroke which is separately placed above the small r, in order to show that it is an r, and to thus distinguish it from another letter, or part of a letter, which resem bles the when the latter is made without this little top stroke. At the first glance, how Insignificant does this detail appear! But is it really without meaning as human action? think not.
 A man who habitually takes the trouble to make clearer the meaning of one of his symbols, at the cost of a a little separate action, is man who takes pains with his work and who de- sires to do his work well. This action, trivial as it appears, could scarcely be done by slovenly or careless person; it is gesture of minute care and at tention-qualities that in one way or another have been of vast service to individuals and to mankind Thomas Carlyle, for example, showed his minute carefulness by an attention to punctuation that have never seen ex- celled, and which has rarely been equaled.-Nineteenth Century.

piece of rubber tubing two feet long, with
a rag loaded with sand tied over one end.
The rubber bears the stamp of The Westing-
house Air Brake Company. and was probably
cut from parlor car. A properly con-
structed sandbag is made of strong canvas,
filed with sand, and is not unlike the salt
bags seen in grocery stores, saving that it
is not 50 large in circumference and is less
clumsy.
Brass and iron 'knucks," ''jimmies," cold
chisels and the like, are seen in profusion.
Last of all, there are two old army swords
one of them polished bright and with edge as
keen as a razor. Its owner had armed him.

REF0R' NUMBERS NEEDED.
Complaint of People Who Look for
People at Night.

Hack drivers and messenger boys have
serious complaint to make Of the poor man
ner in which Indianapolis residents display
their house numbers at night. With the
present poor system of house numbering the
gentlemen in these occupations, and also
those OF the burglar trade, have absolutely
no guide by which to locate number.
Sometimes one has to go three or four blocks
at night before finding number which can
be seen and from which he may guess where
the number he seeks Is located. Consequent
ly, innocent peopls are frequently awakened
at night by some midnight marauder, VINO
wants nothing more than TO know the num-
Der of the house. The innocent resident is
always greatly annoyed In such instances
and the night worker is not pleased, al
though the ease with which ne awakens peo-
pie might indicate otherwise. On the resi-
dence streets the poor display of numbering
is especially bad. The houses are some dis
lance from the streets and IL is impossible
to see the little figures. II any exist. If peo-
pie who wish to sleep during the night de-
sire peaceful and undisturbed slumber, and
at the same time to please those whose duty
calls them out at night, they would have
great white numbers painted on the fronts
OF their houses, with an electric light near
at hand and the dog chained In the back
yard. Perhaps a better way would be 10
have numbers larger than print on the
transom or on the front of the house, which
could be seen. An entirely new system which
would locate numbers by the side streets.
would be highly acceptable to all parties
concerned
