KINGS SALUTATlONS.
Man Who Is On-Iiand Cannot Hold
Monarcf's Job.


II you were a mere monarch you
would have to salute each person ac-
cording to rules laid down painfully by
men who have studied these things out
for you and your brother monarchs.
Were you the Emperor OF Austria the
only sign OF your friendship that you
could give to an ordinary mortal would
be to bend your head slightly and smile
family. You might give your hand to
other sovereigns or to ministers or to
particularly intimate friends, but cere-
mony prescribes that If you do such a
rare thing you must merely lay your
august fingers into their trembling
palms and then withdraw them. If
they act after the ceremony as If frost
bitten you have lived up to the tradi-
tons OF the imperial house. The Car
Is permitted to give his hand to rulers
only. But he has a great comfort. 1t is
not only his prerogatiye, but his duty,
according to court etiquette, to kiss
his cousins, and as most OF his cousins
are females it is duty that is the re-
verse Of unpleasant. There was ter
rible trouble among the old ladies OF
the Russian court when President
Faure OF France was on the way to
make his visit to st. Petersburg. "He

So acute did this question become. his
majesty finally received the president

was kept secret.

Bank Accounts and Women.


That women are more and more be-
coming strong factor in the banking
business is well recognized by presi-
dents, cashiers and other officials OF
banking institutions, says the Boston
Transcript, and If person drops casu-
ally into some leading bank he usually
finds several women there transacting
their own business affairs, just as cas-
lily as do men. There formerly was a
prevailing idea that women knew COM
paratively little about banking mat
tiers and the proper way to conduct
them. While some women have little
natural aptitude for business, when
once they are told a thing they almost
invariably remember it and seldom
make the same error twice. They are
quick to learn and most accurate and
careful, as a rule, in their accounts.
Few people have any accurate idea Of
the number of women who keep sep
arate accounts or who own stocks and
bonds. Many are the widows OF
wealthy men, while some have inherit
ed large sums of money from fathers
or other relatives, and there is con-
siderable and growing class of women
either actively engaged in business or
silent partners in some enterprise
from which large dividends are drawn.
In all this women undoubtedly show
quite as much business tact as men.
1t is getting to be more and more the
custom to pay household bills with
checks, the bank account for this be-
ing carried in the name of the mis-
tress Of the house.

KHAKI is A COLOR.
A word Now mathematical OF British
Patriotism.

A word Now mathematical of British
Patriotism.
This Is a question put by the Tailor
and Cutter which evidently is not
pleased with the new uniform of the
British soldier who has gone South"
Khaki simply describes a color, and
not a class of material, and, according
to our contemporary, is associated
with "vulgarity and dirtiness." Tho
word is not to be found in Johnson,
Webster or Nuttall, but the Encyclo-
paedic Dictionary gives it, and its
meaning there Is: An earthly or gray
clay color used to dye the uniform of
Indian soldiers and Sepoys. A sect of
Brahmins called Khaki because they
apply the ashes Of manure to their
dress and persons TIE Greek die
tionary gives us kaa-kaa, dirt; tho
Welsh vocabulary, the German, the
Spanish, even the Maori has the same
word spelled little differently, 1t is
true, but in every case the meaning Is
the same. 1t Is of the earth, earthly
dirt, of the dirtiest kind-that is the
meaning OF the word which has
come to be looked upon as emblemati-
cal of British patriotism. The main
use of khaki seems TO be, we are fur
ther told. to make a drab world look
duller and dingier than BEFORE

How to Tell 1t by the Mnrking on His

An officer may be distinguished by

Chaplains wear shoulderstraps show

markings and insignia refer only to
what Is known as tho line. In the
staff the prevailing color is dark blue,
no stripes are worn on the trousers
and the field of the shoulderstraps Is
dark blue. The departments to which
the various staff officers belong are in
dictated by the markings on the collars
of their coats. In addition to these
various means of distinguishing off,
GERS. which apply principally to their
undress uniforms, there are differ
ences in the arrangement OF the but
tons on their coats, the braiding on
their sleeves and the style Of their
headgear and the color and number
of plumes worn upon them"

OLD GAVE REDIScOvERED.
There Were Some Rich and Beautiful
Specimens Seen In It.


In Shelby township, south OF Oregon,
Ind, within a mile of the spot where
the first term Of the Ripley Circuit
court convened at New Marion. in
1918, is a cave of large proportions. 1t
was known by the pioneer settlers that
the mouth of this cave opened on the
west bank of Big Graham creek, but
knowledge of this fact was lost, and
there was no attempt at exploration.
A few days ago Benjamin Harrell John
Titus and b. +. Sands of New Marion
accidentally rodiscovered the opening,
which is on the Burton Hughes farm,
and. after securing torches, they ex-
plored the cave for three miles. AS
they progressed chamber after cham
Der was opened to view. rich in beau
tifu specimens In one chamber, a
very large room, a whisper of one OF
the explorers was so greatly increased
in sound as to startle his companions,
and in another water was found flow
ing through a crevice, causing a con-
tinuous roar like distant thunder. In
the last apartment visited the explor-
ers then being compelled to return
because of expiring torches, everything
had an ossifed appearance, and pet
rfied snake was brought out, so solid
that it can be used for walking

sions of this proposed amednment
will be required to pay taxes in
the district where the farms are
situated and not at the domicile of
the loaner as the law now reQuir-
es.
5th-That it is impossible to
find or point out single person
who will be injured by this amend
ment, only the tax-dodgers and
the men who are out of debt and
are anxious to double up the bur-
dens on their less fortunate neigh
Dor that they may save Il few pen
MES themselves by SO doing.
Gth-If this amendment fails of
passage it scores another victory
for capital and sad defeat to the
debtor class.
7th-Any honest man who pays
his taxes in this or any other
State, can loan his money in this
State to a better advantage under
the proposed amendment than he
can without it, for the reason that
his taxes will be less by paying on
his equity in the real estate than
they would be by paying on the
notes or money secured by mort
cages as the law now requires.
Sth-My eighth and last "ineyi-
table conclusion" is, that if this
Constitutional Amendment fails
for passage | will be found fighting
for it, or something of like nature

relief of this kind comes to Mr..

classes before the arrival of that

Studies of Birds.

In order to study birds feeding their
young. drinking, bathing and per-
forming other tasks of their every day
life the photographer and his camera
are concealed in an artificial tree
trunk or brush head. So efficient are
these contrivances that birds will
sometimes alight on the top Of them,
just where they cannot be taken.
Water presents at times some almost
insurmountable difficulties to the nat
ural history photographer, but pluck
and ingenuity die hard, and pictures
may often be snatched by an intrepid
spirit out of situations that would set
a faint hearted man despairlng. 1t Is
sometimes necessary to remain for
hours in the water with the camera all
set, waiting or the 'as to return to
their position on the rocks.

Hogs Going Lower.

Following observations are from

September 18th Of this year the
price of hogs in Chicago was So
&c. Now hogs are worth - SO-a
drop of Soc hundred. The hog
spectators must be desperately n
fraid that Bryan is going to be G.
lected--or else they are breaking
it off in the farmers without rca-
son, and just because they can.
Has politics anything to do with
this slump in the price of hogs' If
it has not, then has it anything to
do with the rise and fall in the
price of any products
What is the straight of this
businessl If politics sends agri-
cultural produce up and down,
what sends it up and down when
politics is deadl
Is it true that the fear of Mckin-
ley's election is driving down the
price of hogs, and wheat, tool
Let the oratorical spell binders
answer.
The fact is that farmers crops
have not brought AS good prices
under Mckinley's reign as they
did under Clcvcland's. How do
you account for this!
