ALL WERE SOVEREIGNS.
The American Consul Recognized His

The American Consul Recognized His
Countrymen as of Royal Blood.
A foreign correspondent relates an
amusing incident in connection with a
recent state ball that was given by
the Khedive of Egypt at Cairo.
Just before the ball chamberlains
were sent around by the Khedive to
say that, in view of the vast number
OF official persOnages and great Euro
pean mobiles staying in his capital-per-
sonages who could not be ignored-it
would be necessary to restrict the invi-
tations to persOnageS Of that category.
ard that no cards would he availa BILE
for mere untitled visitors and tourists.
American Consul General Penticld,
however. at once wrote to the Khedive,
saying that his country had nothing SO
commonplace rs mere titles of nobility,
that his cOmpatriOts were all "sover-
eigns, ranking with kings and queens
and that therefore he would like to
have as many as possible asked, by
reason Of their sovereignty.
The Khedive. who. in spite of his
obesity and bumptiousness. has keen
sense of humor. Immediately gave or
ders that the United States consul GEN.
eral should have all the invita- tions he
wanted for American royalty. and the
consequence was that the latter was
represented at the state ball by no less
than fifty well-groomed American SOW
ereigns-the largest nOn-otficial contin-
gent of any one foreign country.

He Got His Answer.

the buffet car, and, ersconcing himself
In comfortable chair, drew out a long
cigar and entered deeply into his paper.
He remained so quiet and retained his
seat &C. long that another passenger,
whose bearing distinctly stamped him
as commercial travelling man. one of
the kind full of chatter and curiosity,
could no longer restrain himself. Ad-
dressing the quiet gentleman, he in
quired: Travelling East?'

The gentleman made no reply, but re-
sumed his paper. After little silence
the commercial man began again.
I'm with G. & Co. on Broadway. If
you drop in Ill show you over the city
Thank you, it will not be necessary.
Excuse me, but might l ask what
you're going to New York for?'
BY this time most of the other passen-
gers were interested. The gentleman,
who was extremely annoyed at the
drummer's curiosity, aid down his pa
per and exclaimed:
I'm going to New York, first, be-
cause the train is taking me there; sec
ond, because I've got lots of money and
can afford it; and last, because If l like
the place l intend to buy it,
The commercial man susided amidst
a roar of laughter.

Hair Cutting Is Unknown.

The tonsorial art finds no favor
among the Malays; and the LatoOkas,
one of the native tribes of Africa, are
never known to cut their hair. They
weave it into most wonderful shapes,
a process which is said to occupy sew
eral years before it is fully completed.
The thick. crisp wool of the male is
woven with fine twine made from the
bark of tree, until it represents a net
work of felt. AS the hair grows it is
subjected to the same process and
trained into the shape of helmet. A
rim of about two inches deep is formed,
and the front part of this hair helmet
is protected by n piece of polished cop
per, while piece of the same metal.
shaped like the half of bishops mitre
and about a foot in length forms the
crest. The helmet is then adorned with
numerous yari-colored beads.

The Tariff and the Trusts.

The account in the San Francisco
Examiner of the manner in which the
different trusts have been allowed to
write their own schedules of the Ding
lev tariff sufficiently explains why the
SPONSORS of that measure did not vel
come a proviso that articles controlled
by trusts should be placed on the free
list. 1t would have been rather queer
if they had been willing to punish the
men that made their bill.
This easy method of framing tariff
bill by farming out the work to the
various interests that expect to profit
lyy it is nothing new in Republican tar
iff legislation. Precisely the same
course was followed in the preparation
of the original Mckinley law. The
trusts and capitalists to whom the par
ty managers felt under obligations
wrote the schedules that affected their
respective interests, and in many cases
these schedules We're adopted word for
word. The people who We're to pay
the taxes had nothing to say until the
following November, when they spoke
with considerable emphasis. 1t ap-
pears evident. however, that the I'M
preston made by their remarks at that
time has faded out, and that they will
have to speak again at the next oppor-
funity

main counting room on the first floor OF
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned FIVE times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
ly redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat.
er Alabastine is cement that forms
permanent coats, admits of recoating from
time to time without removing its old
coats, and hardens with age.
