AN INTERESTING STUDY.
Great Tact Required in Crowds Which
Bring All Classes Together.

The behavior of people in crowds
would make an interesting study of
itself. In an ordinary crowd the ma
Jorlty are apt to be unacquainted with
any formal etiquette, and the rest
seem to forget all they ever knew;
only those who are possessed of ma
tural politeness and unfailng good ma
ture are saved from becoming savages
under such circumstLces. OF course
1t is unpleasant for people or refined
nature to be brought into very close
contact with the ruder populace, and
il very frequently happens that the
very ones who have had most training
in courtesy are the most disagreeable
when in the midst of Il crowd. The
nerves of the common people are less
easily disturbed, and the physical dis
comforts common to crowds are not
greater than they are accustomed to
in ordinary daily life. Unless you can
be sure of bearing yourself with
courtesy and good humor, you should
avoid crowds for your own sake as
well as out of consideration for others.
If, from choice or necessity. you flock
with birds that are not all of your
own fine feather your aim should be
to respect the rights of others without
relinquishing your own. You are not Il
door mat, to allow yourself to be
trampled upon without remonstrance;
nor yet Il cur, to snarl and snap Mt
those who, perhaps, through no fault
of their own, encroach upon you too
closely. Even in the highest circles
people are apt to lose their heads, to
say nothing of their hearts, when
mnSspd in large numbers ms witness
the trays that are reported to take
place among the fair "gentlewomen"
who attend the queens drawing room.

Cash and JeweIry stolen.

Early Friday morning thieves entered
the residence of Alexander Law during
his absence and proceeded to the bed
room of Mrs. Law. She was rudeIy
awakened and told to make no outcry
or she wonld lose her life. To back up
the threat the barrel of revolver was
pressed against her head. One of the
burglars then ransacked the bureau
drawers, securing about $i0O and some
jewery.

Poon pn1NCEssrs,

At the present time the outlook for
marriageable princesses is rather bad,
for large number of them are con-
demned to spinsterhood unless they
choose to make morganatic. unions.
There are now no less than II European
princesses of reigning houses who are
of manageable age, and the cor
responding princes number but A..
Probably a good many Of these royal
ladies will follow the example Of Prin-
cess Frederick of Hanover and other
princesses and bestow their hands on
men they really love and honor, but
who are not their equals in birth.
When 1t is remembered that, besides
the daughters of reigning houses there
are also large number Of young girls
members of families closely connect
ed and claiming equal birth with the
reigning housewife are also unable
10 marry, except morganatically, it will
be seen that the present state of Eu-
ropean princesses is not exactly hap-
Ply one.

npACKING OFF THp w1pows.v

A pastime which obtains among the
farm class Of Korea, known as pack
ing off the widows" consists of raid
by some disconsolate widower and his
friends in some village known to con-
tain young widow and the forcible abb
duction of the lady in question and her
marriage to the widower. An instance
of this kind has recently come to
knowledge.
A widower living in one Of the VIII
lagos of Kangwha, with IL friends, went
to hamlet close to the walls OF Kang-
wha city, where a widow lived, and
seized and carried off, after somewhat
Of a battle, a young lady. 1t so hap
pened, however, that they had mistaken
the house and, unfortunately, got hold
of the wrong lady. Early the next
morning an indignant posse came in
pursuit, but the men who had commit
ted the dastardly deed succeeded in
eluding them. The young lady, how
ever, was rescued, and after the house
of the widower and its contents had
been completely demolished, she was
escorted home in triumph by her hus-
band and his friends.

cap is practical as well as attractive.
Anxiety and affection can put into 1t
evidences Of themselves. in the form Of

velescent is protected from any posi-
BILE draft about the head. and what Is,
pc rhaps, best of ALL the hair Is kept
free OF snarls. The model came from
Paris, whence come so many good
things. but the idea has already become
popular here. Fine soft null, finished
with embroidery, may be substituted
for the silk, but If ever so much as a
hint of stiffening be allowed to enter
into the make up the essential quality
of perfect comfort is lost.
