COMPLIMENTS FOR ONE ONLY.
A New York Club Woman Proves That
She Eas Humor by Tellinga
joke ON Herself.

There is one New York club woman
who has sense of humor. In fact, to
be on the safe side, there are several
who have a "claim' in that direction,
says the Sun. But not all of them are
able to sense the joke when 1t happens
TO be on them. This woman, however,
has this ability and proves it by telling
this story about herself:
"At' one time" she says, 1--WE had a
eolored butler who stayed with us for
years, and who admired my husband i'm
mensely. He thought that DIR. H
was a marvel of manly beauty, as well
as the embodiment of all the virtues,
domestic, professional and otherwise.
OF course, quite agreed with the but
Ter on this point. but the fact is, l some
times pinned to have him pass his en-
thusastic compliments around to the
family, and not bestow them all on the
doctor So one morning, when DR..
H had just left the breakfast table,
and was even then to be seen, an impos-
ing picture, as he stood on the front
steps drawing on his gloves, remarked
to James:
DIR. H is handsome man, isn't
hep"
Yes, ma'am! Deed an he is,
ma'am!' with gratifying enthusiasm.
Then, hoping to get rise from
James, | added with an absent-minded
air as if l scarcely knew what l said
but was just uttering my Utmost
thoughts:
How in the world do you suppose
that such handsome man as DIR. H
ever happened to marry such homely
woman as | ami
well, James just stopped short and
rolled his eyes and shook his head as
IL he gave it up. Then he calculated:
Gawd knows, ma'am!'"

The King of beasts Is a Great Deal
Heavier Than His Appear
ance Indicates.

"What does a lion weigh" Those
who know the look of the king of beasts
best, and how small his 1.-THE body really
is, will probably come farthest from
the truth. About 300 to $50 pounds is a
usual estimate. But full-grown lion
will tip the scales at no less than 500
pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds
is the record for an African lion. His
bone is solid and heavy as ivory, says
Stray Stories
The tiger runs the lion very close. A
Bengal tiger killed two years ago by
an English officer scaled $50 pounds. A
tiger this size has, however, consider
ably more muscular strength than the
biggest lion.
Few people know that grizzly bear
can give points to any other carnivor-
Gus animal in point OF strength. A
grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carrying
a heifer two-thrds its own weight for
two miles up the most steep and rugged
mountain side, and this without paus-
ing for one instant for rest.
The big white polar bear though not
really so dangerous a customer, is capa-
bic of performing the most eXtraordi-
nary feats of strength. A polar bear
has been seen to move with his paws a
bowlder six men had with difficulty put
in position to guard cache of pro-
visions.

HAIRPINS FOR VICTORIA.
A Christmas Present That Was Given
by the Little Daughter OF
Emperor William.

One Christmas present which caused
intense delight was received by her
majesty last year from the tiny daugh-
ter of Kaiser William. 1t was box of
hairpins of the value of about quarter
dollar. The little princess was taken
by her mother, the empress, to shop
in Berlin and told to buy grandmamma
a present, and also to buy something
that she wanted for herself. In order
to accomplish this object the princess
was given gold piece of % marks value
five dollars). First, she bought herself
a doll, for which she gave 10 marks. Her
imperial mother did not interfere.
Then she bought grandmamma of Eng
land the hairpins for the remaining
mark out of her 20, and felt proud and
generous. The emperor of Austria al
ways sends the queen Of England a
case or two of certain brand of very
costly, very rare Tokay, and 1 ought
not to forget, by the way, that the Ger
man emperor follows his grandfather's
example of sending his English grand
mother a case of Johannesburg, the real,
genuine Johannesburg, as valuable al
most as the elixir of life. The Russian
emperor for the last year or two has
sent the illustrious lady, WHO, thanks to
his marriage, has now become also his
grandmother, malachite and jade vases
to match the magnificent malachite
vase which his father, Emperor Alex

Disappearance Of the Yankee.

BY startling leaps the old Yankee
race seems to be dying out in Connec-
ticut and in most of the old New Eng
land states Every report of vital
statistics compiled for several years in
Connecticut and all the New England
states except Maine bears witness to
the fact, but none has proved it so
thoroughly as the annual report of the
Connecticut state board of health, pub
llshed on Friday. The decrease is
shown in the number of inhabitants of
American parentage, not alone of the
descendants of the old English or Pill
grim settlers, burt the second, third
and later generations of descendants of
other nationalities, is startling. For
this class of population the death rate
is shown to exceed the birth rate The
Connecticut Yankee appears to be
eyincing a growing disinclination to
marry and preserve the family stock,
while the foreigner who has just ar
rived records the same increase in
family as the neighbor he has left in
Europe
