II the number of houses in which
there hang reproductions Of certain
drawing of little child's head after
Nandyke could be enumerated, 1t
would cause astonishment. There is
nothing surprising in the popularity
of the head. But whatever genius
named it "Baby Stuart" is responsible
for many ludicrous misapprehensions.
There are women who believe that this
head was painted by Gilbert Stuart.
There are women who have asked if
It was the infant of A. T. Stewart.
Again, there are women who know
that it depicts one of the children Of
Charles l, but who do not know which
one of his children it Is, whether it is
a boy or a girl, or who painted the
original The head is that of the sec
end son of Charles l. and the name Of
the child was James. Vandyke paint
ed him time and time again. One of
the family groups of Charles chill
dren by Vandyke hangs in Turin.
From the head of little James in that
group a copy was made by Raffaello
Canevari, a drawing, and that copy
hangs in the Academy of st. Luke at
Rome. From Canevari's drawing the
countless army Of photographs, en-
cravings, Autographs and prints which
have spread to the uttermost parts of
the earth proceeded.
Let us change the title, for we think
"Baby Stuart" has done duty long
enough. Why not call him Little
JamesT Then, at least, all his wor-
shippers would know his sex. He be-
came King James II Of England In
1856, and, according to eminent au-
thority, he gave evidence of possessing
all the vices of his race without any
of its virtues. His reign was short
and Infamous. He was In exile at st.
Germain when he died in 1701. Such
was the chubby and guileless looking
royal baby in the cap.-Boston Tran

REMOVING A RING.
A Jeweler Tells How to Take OF One
That Has Grown Tight.

A Jeweler Tells How to Take or One
That Has Grown Tight.
Most girls who have had baby rings
have had trouble in removing them
from their fingers. There is really no
necessity for all this ado about remov-
ing tight ring" said jeweler. "In
fact, as in everything else, the secret
Of success lies in knowing how to do 1t.
Here is a recipe that 1 have found I'M
failing for removing a tight ring, and
there is no painful surgical operation
involved either: Thread a needle fiat
in the eye, using thread that is strong,
but not too coarse, then pass the head
Of the needle under the ring. Care, of
course, must be used in this, and it
would be best to soap the needle before
beginning. The needle having been
passed through, pull the thread through
a few inches toward the hand-so."
By this time the jeweler had passed
the needle and thread under the ring
on his own finger and was prepared to
illustrate the little lecture. Wrap the
long end of the thread around the fin
ger toward the nail in this manner,
then take hold of the short end and un-
wind it-so. The thread, thus pressing
against the ring, will gradually remove
it, however tight or swollen the fin
ger."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Danish Hospitality.

A correspondent of the Dundee Ad-
vertiser writes from Denmark: '"The
people Of Denmark, though sprung
from the same stock as ourselves, are
infinitely more polite and hospitable-
so much so that my friend the Scotch
landowner, who is Scotch to the back
bone and never more Scotch than when
out of Scotland, early came to the con-
clusion that their politeness, besides
being a MIGHTY trouble to themselves,
was a sheer waste of time l did not
find it so. rejoiced that it was one of
their characteristics, for they were
ever willing to show me their farms
and their dairies and their bacon cur
ing establishments. though l had been
assured before leaving this country
that the Danish creamery at least was
shut against the stranger.
Like most continental people have
met, the Dane puts himself to no end
Of trouble to help you, and after he
gives all the information you want you
must needs go to his home and drink
his drink and smoke his cigars. as old
friends in this country might do after
years of separation"

How q Russian Baroness prompted

Dewey once attended a wedding
breakfast at which the affable Baron
ess de Struve, wife of the Russian
minister at that time, was present.
Dewey had met this famous woman
several times before. The facial plain
ness of the baroness was quite beyond
belief, but she was one of the most
brilliant, lovable and kindly women
ever elected to guide the social affairs
of the diplomatic corps in Washington.
A lady who overheard it tells of an
amusing passage which the baroness
and Dewey, who, If memory serves,
was then commander, had at this
particular wedding breakfast. ere

A Trick at Cards That Puxzled Those

A Trick at Cards That Puzzled Those
Who Witnessed 1t.
Il saw a man do trick with cards
once" said Godfrey Ashton of Atlanta,
(which. although he assured me was
wholly a trick and that there was no
second sight or mind reading connect
ed with it. has always rested in an
unexplained condition in my mind.
'There were four Of us at supper,
and the man in question sent for a
pack Of cards, and, handing them to
the man next him, told him to select q
card in his mind; not to take it from
the pack, but to tell the other two
men what card it was. He was then to
shuttle the pack and pass It to the
other two men, who were each to
thoroughly shuttle 1t. The last man
was then to place it on the floor.
I'm the meantime a large napkin
had been tightly bound over the magi-
clans eyes and his dress coat hung over
his face with the tails tied under his
chin, SO that his head was to all in
tents and purposes In bag. He, by
his direction, was led to the pack of
cards and his hand placed upon 1t. He
then proceeded to scatter the cards
about until they covered rough cir
Gle of three or four feet In diameter.
He called for knife, and, bringing II
sharply down, drove it through and
affixed one Of the scattered cards. Re-
moving his headgear, he asked what
card my friend had chosen. The an
gwer being the ten Of diamonds, he
turned the knife toward us, and there,
sure enough, was the ten of diamonds
transdxed upon the point.
He swore it was a trick, but for
the life of me l cannot see how it was
done. None of US was In collusfon with
him. i am sure the cards were not a
fake pack, and am equally certain
that be was so bllndfolded that It was
wholly impossible for him to see. Yet
he accomplished II exactly as tell
