WORK OF A MAID OF HONOR.

1t lis a great distinction to be chosen as
one of Queen Vicboria's maids of honor.
but 1t entails obligations The position
is strictly dependent upon birth, for the
maid must be either the daughter or
granddaughter of a peer. When APP
pointed the maid receives the tft1s of
honorable, which they retain Through
life.
Each maid of honor has three months
of waiting each year, and often her
young fglends are apt to regard her as
being very fortunate for receiving $500
a month for her actual time of waiting.
But lit is quite a mistake to suppose
THAT the duties are trdhing or that the
post is in amy sense a sinecure. Nothing
save severe Illness can ALLOW of a. maid
of honor altering or postponing her term
of waiting. She has to be literally at
the beck and call of her royal mistress,
and though no objection is made to each
young lady bringing with her a pet-at
the present moment tfla Hon. Miss Cad
ogan possesses one of the most valuable
dogs in the world-even the permission
to receive call from a friend or rela-
ton must be asked and obtained before
a matd of honor cam be lat home" to
eluny VI liEl
Only two maids of honor are in wait
ing at "a time They each have a pretty
suite of rooms, including a pleasant sit
ting room, amid it is there that they are
expected to spend most of their time
wIhsn not actually with their royal mis-
tress. The maids working day may be
said to begin about II, for, as soon as
her majesty has dismissed her private
secretary, she sends for one of her maids
of honor to read to arsr selections from
the morning papers. Then comes a
drive, during which the queen Is general
ly accompanied by the other maid.
Luncheon is gensrally taken with the
household, although occasionally one Of
the two young ladies will be asked to
join the royal party. Unless she actual
ly knows THAT her majesty is out driving
or, as occasionally happens when the
court is at Balmoral, away for long
expedition likely Ito occupy many hours,
the maid of honor must on no account
absent herself from the castle fer fear
her presence should be required. The
most fatiguing point about a. maid of
a1onouss work is that She never sits down
except when specially asked to do so by
flsr royal mistress.
Tin comparatively lately each maid of
homer received at her marriage a we'd
ding gift of 5000 from her royal mis-
tress, but this oddly enough ended by
causing considerable inconvenience to
the queen. She found that no sooner
was a maid of honor appointed than she
immediately announced her engagement;
and accordingly tiha rule was made that
This much-coveted dowry should not be
given unless the prospective bride had
held her appointment for certain num-

man ". h a supply of up-to-date statistics
and literature about Birmingham and
Alabama
The thousands of strangers who come
hare would be directed to such a place
for the information they desired, and
they would obtain 1t in a more satisfac-
tory and reliable shape than Is availa-
Bile elsewhere. The suggestion Is In
the line of advertising, and that is an
other point in it's favor. A capitalist
from London or New York who has few
hours to spend hare cannot ascertain
many satisfactory things about this re-
gton, when he has to go out on the streets
and question business men at random.
If he could spend an hour in such bu-
reau as is here suggested he would be
able to study Alabama in a practical
way, and get in a condensed shape such
information as he desired.
Birmingham and other growing cities
lose many valuable settlers and investors
simply because they are unable to learn
the real facts of the situation i'm The
brief time which they desire to devote to
the matter.

An old.EashiSned Merchant.

The other day a good many merchants
in the dry goods District of New York
were astonished to receive letters indoors
ing checks from Mr.. Amos f. Emo, who
stated that he desired to pay off the
debts which he owed when his firm
failed thirty-six years ago.
Some of the checks received amounted
to thousands of dollars, and the mer-
chants in the dry goods district were de-
lighted as well as surprised. Mr. Emo re-
quested the persons he paid not to men,
tion the matter, but it leaked out, and the
old gentleman was visited by a number
of reporters.
This old-fashioned merchant insisted
that he had done nothing that was
worthy of notice. He had simply set
tied his old debts when he found that he
was able to do so. That was all.
1t is a very pleasing story, and 1t will
revive mems confidence in one another.
A few men IKE Emo in every community
would act like a bracing tonic in COM

FAMILY RELATIONS.

Family life in China, If we may accept
without qualification the testimony of
Chinese writer, lis a wholly admirable
thing. Col Teheng- Fi-Klong complains
that of ALL countries on the globe, China
is least known, and that thcre is space
enough for China's four hundred millions
of inhabitants. He further declares that
the family is the institution upon which
is based the whole social and political
edlfce of China, and that Chinese So
CITY may be defined as an aggregation
of families. The family is, in fact a
kind of religious order with all it's re-
sources united in single fund. The
Chinese ideal is apparently, quite ad-
miraIble, and western nations might not
disdain to learn something from the five
general principles which by education
form ard maintain the familyl tile; f1del
ity to the sovereign, respect toward pa
rents, concord between the married, har-
mony between brothers and constancy in
Friendship.

Advertising Wins.

People are familiar With the pamphi
let's and handbooks published from time
to time to induce trade and immigration
but it is something new to find the me-
tropolis of the country trying the vir-
tues of advertising on a large SCALE
The Baltimore News says:
The present is the age of advertising,
and few businesses can succeed with
out it. There are vulgar and crude
methods of dong lit, however, and there
are ingenious and adroit ways Not
only do individuals and corporations adj
vertise themselves, but in this country,
where the popula ton is to a certain de-
gree migratory and trade Is constantly
shifting, dt.es find 1t expedient to do so.
New York is a famous advertiser, and
all sorts of enterprises are arranged to
draw people thither, at least for a brief
stay. She wishes now to attract them
permanently, and there is in contempla-
tion new scheme of advertising-the
publication of a large book, finely print
ed, richly bound, fully illustrated, the
text by some of the best authors, and the
whole a sumptuous literary and artistic
production. This book will be get up
by tbs Merchants Association, and an
edition of 100000 copies will be issued,
copies to be sent to business men of
standing all over the United States. No
copy of the work Will be sold; every
copy will be a volume de luxe such as
no man would disdain for his library.
The cost of such a work will be enorm-
Gus, but the members of the Merchants
Association believe that the publication
will pay; people reading of the many at
fractions and the grandeur of New York
will wish to visit there-many to take
up their permanent residence in such a
magnificent city-and the money ex-
pended for this splendid account of its
wonders, it is thought, will be returned
many fold Many cities in the west ad-
vertise themselves by cheap editions of
books, offering wonderful opportunities
to those who get in ION the ground

i'm the pages of magazines and newspa-

of the foremost CITY in the union entering

somthing new.
In this age nobody can afford to waste
time hunting up unknown merchants,

A Strange Case.

At West New Brighton, the other day,
the widow of Commodore John Rudd
of the United States navy, was arrested
and locked up for a theft which she con-
fessed. 1t seems that, at ladys house,
where she was stopping, she stole several
valuable articles and pawned them.
Mrs. Rudd is lady of education and
refinement, and it is supposed that she
was acting under the stress of circum-
stances, or that her mind was affected
She has four daughters. all married to
officers of high position in the British
army and navy.
Such cases excite sympathy. OF course,
the woman should be dealt with consid-
erately, but this suggests the thought
that the counts are not considerate with
the helpless and friendless. who, per-
haps if thear cases were understood,
would be found as deserving of sympa-
thy and help as the commodore's widow.

manufacturers producers. skilled artis-
ans, experts. professional men, natural
resources. and centers of trade and in
dustry. Tt Is expected that every de-
sirable thing will make itself known
through the medium of advertising.
Newspapers, pamphlets and books can
be made to reach millions of people. and
in this way a person or a city can adj
dress hosts of possible customers.
New York is acting very sensibly In
deciding to advertise her advantages.
and other cities should follow her ex-
ample. Advertising wins. 1t need not
be i'm the shape of ordinary advertising
matter 1t may be artistically done in
the form of news, pictures, histories,
ture butt when the work is well done it
pays.
The man who expects in this age to
get along without advertising should go
into the interior of Darkest Africa and
pick up his living in the forests, for he
will never be able to do 1t in any civ
aTized land where his competitors know
how to make the most of printers ink.
Cities, towns, counties and even states
Will find 1t profitable to advertise judi
ciously. Advertising is a fine art, and
properly used it will bring success to

GENTS MUST LEAVE
SHOOTING IRONS
WITH THE DOORTENDER.

1t was explained by Mr. Gould to one
of his friends yesterday, according to a
Wall street rumor of doubtful veracity,
that his man had put the revolver in his
pocket without Mr.. Geulds knowledge.
Whether Mr.. Gould's man knew he
was going to THE chamber of COM
msrce dinner and felt it necessary to
take such a precaution as to arm his
master does not appear in the Wall street
accounts.
Inquiry at police headquarters yester-
day failsd to develop any record of a per-
NIT issued to- George Gould giving him
the privilege eff carrying a revolver. 1t
is probable that his late trips to and
from his home in Lakewood, N. j., and
the fact that th:re have been recent in
cursions of that neighborhood by high
waymen, have led Mr.. Gould to prepare
for an attack.
