The government is about to mark .

North Perry, Ne. Such monument ~

there are other interesting "centers"
which are by mo means permanent The

States. S,602,990 square miles, exclud-

tween Wakeeney and Hill City. The
center of population is. however. far
east of this. being 15 miles west Of CO.

point by easy stages from near Balti-

Of the last century, and 1t is still trav-

center Of wealth of our 3s4, 900. 900 900

Cleveland. Ohio. north and east Of the
center Of population. And the center
Of debt is not far away. being at Tim.

judgment debts. Ohio can also claim
the center of pauperism. which Is at
Chillicothe, and is further charged
with the center of crime. which careful
figures show to be at Columbus; but
these figures are based on the number
OF prisoners and not on the degree Of

4 Prevailing Fashion That WIN Prob
ably he Short Lived.
People who look into the dressed
windows Of the mems furnishing goods
establishments see an exhibition OF
colors which puts the dry goods estab-
lishments to shame. and shows that
high and nashy colors are not woman's
prerogative. says the New York Trib-
une. THE loud necktie came to US
from Paris originally" said leading
haberdasher, land we have been told
that It came into fashion because Of
the bicycle. The Frenchman began to
wear broad. streaming neckties with
their outing shirts, and occasionally
man would wear a bicycle tie when he
was not In wheeling costume. especial
ly when no waistcoat was worn. The
demand grew. and gradually the pat
terms became louder and gayer. and
last season young men who were cour-
ageous as to dress began to wear tho
ties with morning and afternoon dress.
Then England took up the fashion. and
turned out four-in-hands and ascots
Of the 'greenery gallery class. and the
style was established. As matter nf
course, the United States followed. and
you see the result in the kaleidisoopic
window displays." Great plaids Of
bright colors. stripes Of the Turkish
kind. and mottled stuffs that look ~
though they had been made for Persian
gowns. have been used extensively for
the new ties, and. not satisfied with
original patterns. makers have turned
out ties additionally conspicuous. with
embroideries. Anchors. Heurs de liz.
monograms. flowers, golf. racing and
yachting designs have been worked in
to black and fancy scarfs. and manu-
facturers found that no matter II their
goods were 20 loud that they disturbed
the peace there was always . market
for them. But NO fashion lasts when
1t il copied BY the cheap trade" said
the dealer In mems wear. and the
French scarf soon found its way into
the Bowery and east side stores. where
high colors are always in demand. The
q scarf was initiated and produced at
80 cents. and the yachtsman found his
ONCE boy wearing an anchor-bedecksd
scarf which to all appearances came
out Of the same boz ~ the one he was
wearing. That settled the matter. and.
although the snowy ties and scarfs are
still on sale. It il safe to say that they
will not be with Us long. Black and
white ties and scarfs. or . mixture OF
these colors for younger men. will never
be superseded in this country BY the
brilliant things that now add TO the
display Of coiors in the shopping dis

London Mail: The Geological So
ciety's small mammal house at pres
ent contains no fewer than six exam
pies of the bristly ground-sQuirrel. a
beautiful species inhabiting South
America. A squirrel Is usually con-
sidered to be essentially ar
boreal in its habits. but the
ground-squirrels are not tree climbers:
they make their homes In burrows or
natural clefts. AS squirrels go. this
species is rather a large animal; the
general color of Its fur Is pale brown.
ornamented with yellowish stripes
running in longitudinal direction. The
tail is clothed in rather coarse black
bristles, which are Of considerable
length. At first sight these squirrel
present rather a strange appearance
owing to the entire absence Of the ex-
ternal parts of the ears.

One of the priced curios Of the Phil
adelphia mint IL coin which is 1000
years old. and which was coined at the
ancient mint Of that other Philadelphia
of the far east mentioned in the Bible.
1t is still in good condition, and the
inscription is perfectly legible. The
design on the face Of the coin bears a
striking resemblance to the Goddess
Of Liberty Of our own currency. and
underneath Is the one word ''Demus." ;"

Sir George Martin is nominally the

During his trip the talk of war became
violent. and the wary Beers got an
idea into their heads that Sir George
Martin was a British spy masquerad-
ing as a musician. They put detec-
tives on the trail. and finally detained
him for some days In Pretoria to await
Developments. Finally, Just before
President Kruger''s ultimatum was
made public. the authorities gave him
his liberty. Sir George took advan-
tass Of the opportunity. and has just
arrived in London. overjoyed At his
good fortune at getting away 70 cas-
