CHINESE CAP BuTToas.

Badges That Indicate the Saiis of tsAa
 Aristocratie Wearer.
 Every ore has heard of tho Chinese but tons and how they indicate rank. great many people, however. have ne idea what che official button is. All Chinamen have buttons about as big as a hickory nut os the tops of their skulleaps, and in case 0s She common people these buttons are made out of blue or red silk thread, and when & man goes into mourning they are of white silk.
 The average common hat is of the finest black satin, and the shapes of these caps change from year to year. The Chinese are as particular about the cut of their clothes as we arc. They havo their favor. ite fashionable eolors, and there are just as many dudes and dandies in Picking and Canton as there are in London.
 The official button is about three timea as large as the ordinary silk button. It's color and material indicate the rank of the wearer. It stands straight uP on the crown of the cap, and it sometimes fastens on the peacock feather. The highest button is of dark red coral Members of tho second class of nobility wear a coral ball of light blue and tho fourth of dark blue. 4 noble or official of the fifth class wears bali of crystal, and a mandarin of the sixth class has little round ball made of mother of pearl on the top of his cap. Below these come the mandarins of the seventh and eighth classes, who wear big marbles of gold, and members of the ninth class, who have their hats decorated with silver balls
 These official hats, or caps, fit closely to the head and have brims which are turned up all around and extend as high as ths top of the cap. These caps arc of black beaver, and they are usually covered with red silk e1sEel, which begins at the bot tom and Kuns out to the edges of the top. The laws provide as to the kind of hat an official must wear and his dress is regulat- cd by ths statutes. The sleeves of all off cials must be very long and come down over the hands, and whenever the nob1es and officials cali on the emperor they must not have their sleeves rolled up. The idea ia that no man can fight well with his arms snveloped in bags, and would be assassin, when he Is compelled to como in on his knees and have his sleeves extending for 8 foot beyond his hands. would require some time to prepare for action.
 Tie laws provide that certain eolors snail not be worn by common people. Only the highest nobies and the emperor can wear dresses embroidered with the five elawed dragon. 4 great many of the off cials have sheir gowns embroidered with dragons, and one can tell tho rank of P :...:a by the mum beE of gold dragons on bis gown, but these aseSens must be feas ciawed. and net Gye.-Spare Moments

The Operation and It's After Effects Pro-
 ductive of Extreme Torture.
 Professor Mccall, for many years principal of the Glasgow Veterinary college, speaking of the practice of dis evidence of Professor Valley, and agree with him that the operation is one of extreme torture at the time and afterward. There must be more or less pain until the wound is entirely healed. Under the most favorable circumstances it must be painful for ten days. The operation does not benefit the animal in the least nor the flesh as food. But if the animal is vicious I consider it suffi- cient to remove the tips of the horns have known of an animal from whieE tho tips of the horns had been removed to take to putting again, but very rare ly. Even then he did not do much damage.
 George Andrew Leper, fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, said: "I consider the practice of dis horning cruel because it causes fearful pain and is absolutely unnecessary. l have heard tho previous evidence and agree with 1t. ''
 Professor William Pritchard of ths Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and for 20 years professor at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, had heard the previous evidence and agreed that the operation tortures the animal and is unnecessary.
 Professor Cox. Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and for some time it's president, said, In my opinion dishorning is extremely cruel and quite unnecessary.
 Professor J. Macqueen, for ten years professor at the Glasgow College of Veterinary Surgeons and afterward at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, said: ''The. operation is not necessary, and, if performed at all, should be done on the animal before it is or months ed. That prevents the horns growing, and the operation is comparatively painless. "-Our Animal Friends.

Sic Misunderstood.

Many singers fail to realize the lm- portance of distinct enunclatlon, and the charm of beautiful voice is often lost by the listener who is yainly strug- Rling to catch the meaning of the song. A young woman who considers her self an admirable ballad singer one day received a severe shock from the crit icism of an old lady who had formed one of her audience. Among other bal- lads tho singer had rendered Rory O'More'' in her best style and had re- oeiyed much applause.
 The old lady, who sat in the front seat in the little hall where the entes- tainment was given, looked at first pug. zled and then distressed as the familiar song proceeded, and st the close of the concert she waited to speak to the young woman.
 My dear, :" she said in qulVering voice, II remember when Rory O,More' first came out. have never been singer myself, but have always heen interested ill music, and am sure I never heard tho words as you sang them tonight. am not deaf. My hear ing is unusually good, but will you tell me where you get your authority fos singing:
 He poulticed the hook,
 And she salted it downS For. though 1 cannot remember the original words, am sure they were not like that. ;
 The young woman's face was crim- son as she showed the old lady her copy of the gong and pointed to the words;
 He bold as the hawk
 And she soft as the dawn

A. B. THOMAS, A FORMER PINE BLUFFlAE, sTABs F. J.
 PENN To.DEATH.
The Deed Was Done Without Cause Thomas Spirited Away by the Sheriff to Prevent
 Lynching,

Republic Special,
 WACO, TEX, December 12.-Anoth- CT murder was added to the record of this city today, one the brutality of which aroused much indignation and serious threats of lynching. F. J. Penn, proprietor of a tailoring es- tablishment, was stabbed to death by A. B. Thomas, a groceryman. Thomas was passing the residence of Penn, when little pet dog of Penn 's rushed out and parked at him. Thomas struck the dog vieiously with his cane. Penn remarked that the action was nnnecessary, as the dog was naImIcss. Thomas retort- ed that he would treat Penn thesa way. Some more words passed. Thomas, becoming more and more belligerent, finally attacked Penn, knocking him down, then stabbing him repeatedly with dirk, infiicting q number of wounds, any one of which would have been fatal. Penn lived but few moments. While Thomas held Penn on the ground and was engaged in stabbing him lad rushed up and struck Thomas on the head with board When the murderer concluded that his deadly work was done. he went to his home a short distance away, procured shotgun and came back Yowing 10 kill the boy. The latter, however, disappeared. Thomas was arrested, and when the news of the tragedy became known, intense feeling was aroused. The sons of the murdered man were given numerous assurances of aid in any attempt to visit sum- mary justice on the slayer. The ex- citement grew and the sheriff con cluded it would be wisdom toremove the prisoner as q measure of safety. Thomas was spirited from the jail about 5 o'clock, as it was feared an attack would be made on it tonight. He was taken two or three miles north, where arrangements had been made for the stopping of the north bound NJ. K. & Y. train. The sheriff and prisoner boarded this and in an hour Thomas was safely lodged in Hill county jail at Hills5oro. The apparent utter lack of provocation for the murder and the numerous killings lately have aroused a wide spread feeling of indignation and a determination that they must cease, and in the opinion of many it was a wise move to take Thomas out of this county.
