History OF Pocket handkerchief.

Until the reign Of the Empress Joseph
inc a handkerchief was thought in
France SO shocking an object that a
lady would never have dared to use it
before anyone. The word, even, was
carefully avoided in refined conversation.
An actor who would have used a hand
kerchief on the stage, even in the most
fearful moments Of the play, would have
been numerically Kissed; and it was on
ly i'll the beginning of the present cen
fury that a celebrated actress, Mile.
Duchesnois, dared to appear with 6,
handkerchief in her hand. Having to
speak Of this handkerchief in the course
of the piece, she never could summon
enough courage to call it by its true
name, but referred to it as "a light It's
sue"
a few years later a translation of one
of Shakespeare's plays, by Alfred de
Nlgny, 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 la
dies would carry handkerchiefs if the
wife of Napoleon /. had not given the
signal for adopting them.
The Empress Josephine, although real
~ lovely, had bad teeth. To conceal
them she was in the habit of carry small
hGndkerchiefs, adorned with costly laces.
which she constantly raised gracefully to
her lips. OF course, all the ladies of the
court followed her example. and hand
kerchiefs then rapidly became an i'm
portant part of the feminine toilet

Washington D. c., Feb. 27.-The Off
cials at the war department We're asked
today why Gen. Otis had refused to rec
ogniZe the commissioners who had come
to Manila from the insurgent headquart-
ers at Malolos when they came to seek
peace. The reply was that Gen. Otis was
acting With the greatest propriety in this
matter. He was careful not to commit his
government to any recognition Of Aguin-
aldo that would make precedent, and
then there was always the best reasons
for Withholding confidence in every act
Of the insurgents where the placing of
trust would imperil American lives and
interests.
The Filipino insurgents will have no
difficulty i'll securing amnesty, it is said
if they lay down their arms and sub
nit Internationally, for there is no pur-
pose on the part Of the American COM
manders to wreak vengeance upon sub
missiye foe. In addition to the military
reasons why Gen. Otis should be very
cautious in entering into any entangling
negotiations with the insurgents, there is
the ever-present danger that he might
by failing to be cautious in this partic-
ular give to some jealous foreign power
a preteXt for formal recognition Of the
instruction, with all the embarrassing
consequences likely to follow.
