A BishOp's Hat.

We are all sensitive as to our personal
identity. Smith doesn't like to be called
Jones, and Adams shows a good deal of
the "old Adam" when he is mistaken for
an expressman. The London Realm tells
a story illustrative of this constituencies
The late Lord Aylesbury was standing
bareheaded in well known hatter's shop
in Piccadilly while his hat was being
ironed. A bishop-who, being still alive,
has not reached his turn for posthumous
anecdotes, and must consequently be
nameless-entered the shop in full attire,
and seeing Lord Aylesbury bareheaded
mistook him for shopman.
Taking off his own head covering the
bishop said, 81 want to know if you have
u hat like this?''
Lord Aylesbury surveyed the hat and its
owner, and turned on his heel with the
curt remark:
"No, haven't, and If 1 had I'd be hung
before I'd wear 1t.

ORIENTAL SALUTES.
Queer and Amusing Ways People vi the
East Greet One Another.

East Greet One Another.
The people of the orient salute each 9th
er in many queer and amusing ways One
of them is called the salam, or salaam,
which is very low bow, accompanied by
n horizontal movement of the arms toward
the person saluted until the extended
hands meet edge to edge. Another form
is a low bow, with the palm of the right
hand to the brow. In Persia the subject
sllutes the monarch by throwing himself
OH the ground and kissing his feet.
In China, an inferior on horseback, en-
meeting superior, dsmounts and waits
until the superior has passed In Japan
an inferior removes his sandals when he
meets superior, places his right hand in
his left sleeve, thus crossing his arms, and
rocking himself TO and fro cries: Don't
hurt mel Don't hurt mel"
They have very funny fashion in Siam.
When an inferior comes into the presence
of a superior, he throws himself upon tho
ground. Then the superior sends one of
his attendants forward to see whether the
PROSTATE man has been eating anything
or has any offensive odor about him. If
he be blameless in this respect, the attend
ant raises him from the ground but If he
be guilty, the attendant straightway kicks
him out.
Some of the Indian tribes have a way Of
saluting each other by rubbing their noses
together. This is also the form in the
Friendly and the Society islands, after
which each man takes the others hand
and rubs it upon his own nose and mouth.
The Arabians shake hands six or eight
times. Once is not enough. If, however,
| they be persons of distinction, they en-
brace and kiss each other several times,
and also kiss their own hands. In Turkey
the salute is 20 place the hand upon the
/ breast and bow, which is both graceful and
appropriate.
In Burma when man meets wom-
an, he puts his nose and his mouth close
to her cheek and draws long breath, as
if inhaling delicious perfume. He does
not kiss her cheek, strange to say. A man
/ is greeted in exactly the same way.
In the greater part of Germany it is con-
sidered an act of politeness, not of gallant
ry, for man to kiss woman's hand.
| In Italy that privilege Is allowed only to
near relatives, while in Russia 1t is ex-
tended to kissing the forehead.
The men of continental Europe have q
custom that would seem queer, not to say
laughable, here. They greet each other
with kiss, If they be friends, not on the
check, but right on the lips. What a sen
sation it would make If two men should
practice that form of salutation on Chest
nut street, Philadelphia --Philadelphia

MODERN DRUG STORES.
The List of Things Sold Grows Larger
Every Year.


Every Year.
The name drug store or pharmacy en-
tirely fails at present to give any adequate
idea of the establishment thus designated.
A drug store, besides being, as its title
would indicate, a place where one may
buy drugs, is also place where one may
buy so many things that in its general
utility functions it resembles the old fash
toned country store Soap, perfumery,
brushes, stationery candy, cigars and soda
water have long held their places beside
the rows of bottles which, with their I'M
pleasant but necessary contents, were
doubtless once regarded as the only legiti-
mate drug store stock. Later came the
postoflice supplies, and since they were in
troduced the drug clerks have been kept
busy selling 9 cent stamps and postal
cards, the rate of profit on which, it may
be assumed, will never greatly enrich the
proprietors. 1t Is true that in some in
stances the drug store is made a regular
branch postoffice, in which case monthly
salary is paid to the owner. But this is so
small that many druggists prefer to be en-
tirely independent, and to keep the sup
plies only to oblige their customers.
The use of the directory is another con-
venience offered gratis to the public, and
it is one which involves more wear and
tear on the store property in the course of
year than would be readily Imagined.
The telephone pay station is the last in

NEWS FROM CUBA.
The Official Statement of War Fatalities
 Show Nearly Ten to One in Favor s Of the Spaniards-In Santa Clara.

Havana, May 21.-Capt.-Gen Weyler arrived yesterday at Cienfuegos, province of Santa Clara.
 The insurgents dynamited and derailed an exploring engine on the railroad be- tween Cristo and Sergo, province of San tiago de Cuba, and afterward fired on the train which followed it, plundering and burning three cars. The remainder of the train put back to Cristo. The local guerilla force attacked the insurgents, killed five of them and recaptured the engineer of the exploring engine and three railway employees who had fallen into the hands of the insurgents. The guerillas had lieutenant killed and the insurgents in another skirmish with the guerillas lost from ten to twenty killed.
 During the month of May up to date, according to the official reports, the in- surgents have lost 224 men and the troops have captured six prisoners and 158 rifles. In addition 1t appears that fifty-two armed insurgents have surrendered to the Spanish authorities.
 The Spanish troops during the same period, according to the official accounts, lost twenty-seven men killed and had eighty-five wounded.

TETUAN RESIGNS
And Chos Reigns In the Spanish Capital All On Account of the Bellig-
 erency ResolW Tn.

Madrid May 21.-In dhs senate today there was a heated and 1umultuous de- bate on the resolution passed by the United States selz,ate yesterday to recog- nize the Cubans as belllgeren;s. The de- hate here was followed by an excited dis. cussion in the Iobbies. This led to aidis- pute between the Duke of Tetuan, the minister of foreign affairs, and liberal senator which ended in the duke boxing the senator's ears. A great commotlon ensued, and the sitting of the senate was suspended The liberal minority after wards held a meeting to consider the sit uation, and ex-Premier Sagasta, the lib- eraI leader, was summoned to confer wf:h his followers. ,--p
 The urgent massage was also sent to the premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, by the miniserialiStS.
 The Duke of Tetuan later in the day resigned as a result of the incident Se- nor Canovas, the premier, will take the portfolio ad interim. Ik
 The fberal senators have decided to attend no mora sessions of the senate until full satisfaction has been accorded to Senator Comas and the liberal parry by the Duke of Tetuan. #t{b
 Senor More't T. Prendergas;, a former minister asked the government in the chamber of deputies today, 60 submit reports rela ting to the rebellion in Cuba and to the diplomatic relations of Spain with the powers. tSenor Canovas, the premier, replying, said the government could only attach credit to such as were sent by Gen.. Wey- Ter. He severely blamed the American newspapers for disseminating false news and cited as a case in poiri. recent state ments attributed to Consul General Lee. The premier said:

THE TARIFF BILL.
Republican Senators to Caucus on Ways and Means of Securing Early Action
 on the Important Measure.

Washington. May 21.-The republican senators will hold a caucus Monday after the adjournment of the senate on Mon day to consider various questions in con- nection with the tariff bill. The first effort will be to devise plans to expe- dite the consideration of the tariff bill and there will also be an attempt to re- concile differences of opinion as to some features of the bill Some of the sched- ules are objectionable to many of the senators and the suggestion has been made that it is advisable to settle such differences in caucus rather than in the open senate.
 The principal object of the caucus, how ever is to agree upon plan for the lim- itation in favor of debate and under the present rules it is recognized this can only be done by mutual consent. What the tariff leaders will first attempt is to secure an agreement among republican senators to restrain any desire they may have for general speeches and thus throw the responsibility for whatever delay may occur on the opposition. So far as agreed upon the programme is to have Senator A1drich make his statement on Monday or Tuesday of next week and to follow this by immediately taking up the schedules and making no other set speeches on the republican side of the chamber. If this plan could be in dorsed by caucus it would, of course, be materially strengthened. This agree ment may be difficult to obtain without some amendments of the bill by the ad- vocates of the caucus plan, but these changes may be secured in caucus and the work expedited. There are now in- dications that the debate may not be so greatly prolonged as at first seemed prob able The democrats, popuHsts and sil- yer republicans all aver that they will com sIirnc m unnecessary time with speeches. The democrats profess to ba especially anxious that there should be no delay.
 The democrats will also hold a caucus soon to decide upon line of action with reference to the tariff, especially on the subjects of the amendments.
 A democratic member of the finance committee expressed the opinion today that month would be sufficient time for debate.

 The Chattanooga News has the follow ing in reference to the visit of the two gentlemen to this city:
 "If present arrangements hold good the Southeastern Base Ball League will be greatly strengthened during the next few days and will attain an importance equal to any minor league In the coun- try. Already plans are being made to put a team from Birmingham, Ala, in the field and the managers will offer in ducements to several other cities to get in the game.

continue cordial, but the advice which the Americans are offering to us as to Cuba cannot be followed, because Spain will never accept interven ion in a matter which peculiarly concerns herself. The documents which have been asked for will only refer to this advice. The gov ernment has accepted full responsibility for everything which has been done by Capt.-Gen. Weyler.
 Senor Moret T. Prendergast asked if iH was true thae the United Stats senate had recognized the belhgerency of the -Cubans.

MORGAN'S RESOLUTION
Will Be Discussed by Mckinley and Reed Before Getting Vote in
 the Lower House.

Washington, May 21.-No official infor- nation could be obtained as to what ac- ton the house may take on the Cuban resolution passed by the senate yester- day, but it was, understood that Speaker Resd would have a conference with the president on the subject at an early day and no action would be taken until after that conference. The inference was that the action of the house managers would be guided to a large extent by the result of the conference. It is probable that an attempt will be made ons the part of the democrats to have the resolution consid- cred as soon as it reaches the house, but this cannot be- done without unanimous consent but this will not be given, or by a special order from, the committee on rulesf This special order will not be brought in until the republican leaders are ready to have some action taken. s.
