sALUTEs OF RULES.

Emperor William is one of the two
European mOnarchs who delight in a
hearty handshake. He has a strong
grip, and the person honored by him
with a clasp of the hand is apt to re-
member the dignity thrust upon him.
William usually kisses royal friends.
When he visits or is visited by a
monarch, he kisses him three times on
each cheek.
Under no circumstances will Franz
Josef of Austria shake hands with
anybody except a brother sovereign. A
nod and kindly smile are all he ever
vouchsafes the most distinguished of
his subjects. Nicholas of Russia
shakes hands with no one but a fell
low-monarch Relatives he kisses on
the forehead. Every one who comes to
see the king of Italy finds a hand
shake and hearty greeting if the king
likes him. Humbert is a democratic
king.
Only with relatives will the queen
shake hands. Outside her own family
she occasionally gives her hand to be
kissed The prince of Wales, on the
contrary, likes to shake hands, and
always offers his hand to the person
who is introduced to him.-The Rival.

SOME FADs OF NOTED PERSONS.

Judge Martin of Texas is not forgot
ten as the man who blew out the gas
when he first went to the national
capital
DR.. w. Seward Webb, fnancier, likes
to farm, and occasionally to run a
railroad engine himself, just to show
that no man can do it better.
A few weeks ago Pennsylvania
congressman scandalized society by
hanging out his washing in the front
yard of fashionable neighborhOod.
Joseph Jefferson, veteran actor, has
many side talents. He is a painter of
considerable ability, fisherman OF
unusual skill, and prince Of good
companions.
Rockefeller, worth no one knows
how many many millions, is noted al
most as much for his piety as for
his wealth. The prayer meeting and
Sunday school are dear to his heart.

A CHILD'S PLEA.

think the world is really sad,
[ can do nothing but annoy;
For little boys are all born bad,
And | am born a little boy.
1t doesn't matter what's the game,
Whether it's Indians, trains or ball;
always know 1 am to blame,
If I amuse myself at all.
I said one day on mothers knee,
eff you would send us right away
To foreign lands across the sea,
You wouldn't see US every day.
eve shouldn't worry any more,
In those strange lands with queer
new toys
But here we stamp and play and roar,
And wear your life out with our
noise.
1.-The savages would never mind,
And you'd be glad to have us go.
Thee, nobody would be unkind,
For you dislike your children so.'
Then mother turned, and looked quite
REQ,
do not think she could have heard !;
She put me off her knee instead
Of answering me a single word.
She went, and did not even nod,
What had said that could annoy?
Mothers are really very odd
If you are born a little boy.

YOUR OWN PICTURE ON A PACK
OF CARDS.

TOR the seeker after novelty there is
a new fad. 1t is to have your own
picture on a pack of playing cards, and
so make them individual. 1t is no
longer good form to buy an ordinary
pack of playing cards. Nowadays
they must be made to order.
Each card is decorated with your
own photograph, and then, after
quiet little game, the cards may be
distributed as souvenirs. Or if ex-
cessive modesty prevents your using
your own photograph as a means OF
decoration, why, your favorite dog or
cat will do quite as well.
These new made to-order cards show
not only a picture of an individual,
but ones club flag, favorlte horse, dog,
or, in fact, any subject desired. Some
of the latest orders show a monkey on
the back or each card. Others a par
rot and still others a rooster. Then
there are made-to-order cards decorat-
ed with tiny picture of ones coun-
try house. These cards we're one Of
guests at a recent house party.
The only trouble with this fad is that
people will insist upon taking souve-
Mrs from the deck, and pack of cards
that has been souvenired might just
as we'll be thrown in the ash barrel
unless they all disappear among the
guests. New York Journal.

A ROAD BUILDERS INSTITUTE.

Prof. J. A. Holmes of the geological
survey is pressing the important mat
ter of good roads for North Carolina.
He has made suggestion lately that
road builders institute be held at Char
lotte, a kind of summer school for all
interested in road building. It is a
practical suggestion and there is no
apparent reason why such a gathering
should not be held. His idea is to hold
a fortnight school to teach practical
road building. Meckleburg has done
some excellent work in this way and
could furnish a practical illustration
of it's advantages to the persons attend

CUBA AS A WINTER RESORT.

The entire island is a great park
that needs no artificial training to en-
nance it's beauty, and it is destined to
become the winter resort of all the
eastern states. But great admins
trative improvements in the ports, be-
sides the police and material ones
noted, will be necessary before this
can happen. For instance, it would
do much for the island if the port of
Havana could be freed from the high
pilot fees, anchorage fees, docking
fees, and fees of all sorts that make it
impossible for small craft to enter.
Even the large steamers do not dock,
but cargo has to be lightered out and
passengers are compelled to use the
small boats that swarm the harbor.-

WASHINGTON'S WEDDING.
Attended With as Much Pomp and
Splendor as a Royal Marriage.

|In a suit of blue and silver with
scarlet trimmings, and waistcOat of
white satin embroidered with buckles
of gold on his knee carriers and on
his shoes, his hair powdered and by
his side dress sword, the bridegroom
Washington lowered above most of
his companions" writes William Per-
rine, of When Washington was Mar
ried, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
MRS. Custis, his bride, did not reach
higher than his shoulders when she
stood with him before the old EpiscO-
pal clergyman in his full canonicals.
The mistress of the white house wore
costume which had also come from
London. In her hair and ears were
ornaments of pearl; she wore white
satin slippers, and on the buckle of
each was a diamond The sprightly
little matron, with light brown hair
and hazel eyes, had plump and pleas
ing figure, an easy and graceful car
rage, a comely face and fine Shout
ders; and with her three bridesmaids,
and with the fine women of the fami-
lies of the neighboring domains in
attendance, there was a splendid dis
play of the charms and graces of Vir-
ginia womanhood. Nor were the men
less distinguished. The country gen.
tlemen in their gayest raiment, and
the provincial officers from Williams
burg in their uniforms, were headed by
the gallant Lieutenant-G Governor
Fauquier Around him stood a group
of English officers, hardly less snowy
in their trappings, together with mem
bers of the legislature and other civ
ilians. When the bride entered the
coach, which was bright with the
Washington colors, of red and
white, and drawn by six horses
guided by black positions in livery,
the bridegroom did not enter with her.
There was his favorite horse, with his
tall body-servant holding the reins and
waiting for him to mount. When
Washington mounted the richly cap
arisoned charger he rode by the side
of the bridal coach, closely followed by
a cortege of gentlemen on horseback"

NO COLOR LINE IN BATTLE.

New Orleans wants to draw the
color line when it entertains the crew
of the war ship called after it. Do
the citizens of that interesting town
remember that there is no color line
when one of Uncle Sans ships goes
into battle? The whole business is
rather disrespectful to the Uniform
New York Evening Sun.

SOME ENCOURAGEMENT.

Mrs. arlington-John, I spoke to
papa about having him take you into
business, but he couldn't do it, be-
cause you have too many vague ideas.
Mr. rlington-Hurrah! That's
clever of the old boy. My first wife's
father used to say I had no ideas at
all.
