French capital, metropolis of pleasure
and fashion, for cooler September days;
and taken their first view of lands be-
yond the seas in London. Great, Won

The British Museum. Buckingham Palace

New York, Aug 17-There is no eighty

STYLES IN PAPER WEIGHTS.
Bronze Dogs or Lions Expansion

"Of all the furnishings of the writing

than the paper weight and none is more
expensive" said the clerk in the station

styles in paper weights are as varied as
the tastes and financial resources of writ
ers. The average business man uses a
weight made of little bar of glass which
costs anywhere from uNe cents TO dollar,
according to the soldity and detail in
workma nshlp. Most of the weights here
come In silver and bronze and range in
value from s. 10 S75. Bronze is most ox-
pensive. Il is a funny thing but moth
ing stands so high in favor for a paper
weight as a bronze dog or lion. Perhaps
this is because the tail and head of these
animals form such handy projections for
the fingers TO close over when the writer
reaches out in a hurry for something TO
clap down on fiying papers. But il is not
to be inferred from the foregoing remark
that these two specimens of The animal

From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Hampstead, Md, Aug. 1.-The Rev. S.
]. Derr the Lutheran minister at Hamp-
stead. Carroll county, had novel ex-
perience few nights ago. He had re-
turned home from attending to some pa
rochlal duties and was putting up his
horse when a noise occasione1 by the
1uttering and cacklng of the chickens
in his henhouse caused him TO direct his
attention to that quarter AS he approach
I'd he saw lame white boy whom he
knew limp away from the henhouse and
scamper off noisele ssly. The minister
with equal caution and discretion silently
took the place the boy had been occupy
ing at the half-open door Of the henhouse
and waited.
In few conds a par Of pullets was
hand out, then another pair and another
until he was holding a half dozen of his
own chickens, which he party inside was
benel olently bestowing with a very free
hand. The minister concluded that half
a dozen chickens were quite as many as
he could conveniently hold so he said: Il
think 1 have enough for this time" The
remark brought the party inside to the
front in prscipitate haste, when TO his
great surprise the minis er recognized a
memb r Of his own congregation, broth
er who bore fair reputation for piety.
It w uld require a good deal of repu-
tation. however, for any brother to stand
up straight in such a predic ament. The
minister mildly chided him for disturbing
the slumbers of the fowls babe him re-
turn those of which he was the receiver
to the roos, and told him to go home and
pray for forgiveness
