that of our States toward the Union.
In. Switzerland there are still as many
penal codes as there are Cantons and

History of Handkerchiefs.

Until the reign of the Empress Jose
phine a handkerchief was thought in
France so shocking an object that lady
would never have dared to use it before
any one, says Womans Life. The word,
even, was carefully avoided in refined
conversation. An actor who would
have used a handkerchief on the stage
even in the most fearful moments OF the
play, would have been numerically hiss
ed; and it was only in the beginning of
the present century that celebrated ac-
tress, Mile. Duchesnois, dared to ap-
pear with handkerchief in her hand.
Having to speak OF this handkerchief in
the course Of the piece, she could never
summon enough courage to call it by it's
true name, but referred to it as "a light
tissue"
A few years later translation OF one
of Shakespeares plays, by Alfred de
Vigny, having been acted, the word
handkerchief was used for the first time
on the stage, amid cries of Indignation
from every part of the house.
1t is doubtful if even today French
ladies would carry handkerchief if the
wife of Napoleon l. had not given the
signal for adopting them.
The Empress Josephine, although
really lovely, had bad teeth. To conceal
them she was in the habit Of carrying
small handkerchiefs, adorned with costly
laces, which she constantly raised grace
fully to her lips. OF course, all the ladies
of the court followed her example. and
handkerchiefs then rapidly became an
important part OF the feminine toilet.

The Presidents Double.

William H. Murphy, Chicago detec'
tive, looks so much like President Nc
Kinley that thousands of persons have
mistaken him TOR the chief executive of
the nation. During the presidents visit
to Chicago at the time of the peace
jubilee Detective Murphy was one of the
squad of seven men detailed from police
headquarters to look after the safety Of
the city's distinguished guest.
Murphy tells of his experience as fol-
lows: "For nearly week | and my six
companions were touching elbows with
the president oil the United States from
early morning until late at night. We
were his personal guards. Our orders
were to watch all the people who ap-
preached the president and to see that
no harm came to Mr.. Mckinley. This
we didcarefully, tirelessly, without losing
sight of single suspicious character and
noting every stranger who seemed too
anxious to get near to the man at the
head of the government.
"My selection was due, l have heard it
said, because of what my superors
fancied was a strong facial resemblance
in me to the president. AT any rate at
one time when the president rode in
closed carriage l was ordered into the
barouche with the chief of police and Mr..
McKinley's charge d'affaires and com
manded to take of my shining silk tile
whenever the crowds on the street
cheered. This worked like charm, and
the crowd howled itself hoarse at my
scattered hairs and fine Roman nose
with all the zeal of patriots, little think
ing that the distinguished looking man
they greeted was only a policeman, who
in his work of protecting the nations
chief had been ordered to pose for brief
halt hour as that chief himself"

To Make q Birthday-BOOk.

An interesting pursuit, and one that
affords real pleasure and diversion to the
individual, is the intelligent and system.
attic collecting of some particular line of
curios or articles of virtu, varying in
character and kind in accordance with
the personal taste of the collector. What
ever it may be that centers the attention
and effort of the person interested, it
matters very little; nearly all art objects
have some beauty and intrinsic value,
and are appreciated more or less by the
onlooker. But the real virtue Of gather
ing them is the enjoyment it affords the
collector, and the educational and intel
lectual awakening it is to study the his
tory and merits of almost any variety OF
handiwork.
The amassing of photographs and
autographs of famous personages is a
favorite practice of many collectors, and
the most interesting specimen of the au-
