UmbPolIm.

There Is waiter In certain sestau-
rant In Chicago, who has but recently
landed from Germany, and his knowl-
edge Of American ways and manner
isms 10 vague and peculiar. But that
has nothing to do with the tale, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
A well-known member of the board
Of trade yiAlted the restaurant one da,
last week. The man who spends his
days with the bulls and bears was In a
quandary whether to let 60 OF the
wheat be was holding for fear OF aud.
den drop In the market or to hold on
In the hops that weather conditions
would further advance the price OF the
cereal.
All through his hasty luncheon be
turned the matter over in his mind.
The soup disappeared as did the meats
and dessert, but neither the food nor
his environments appealed to the
broker. Weightier matters were on his
mind, and he mechanically slowed
away his meal In the manner locomo-
tive fireman would throw coal into the
Arebox of an engine.
When the waiter had placed the
check at his elbow and the dessert was
finished the diner had made up his
mind. He would hold his wheat for a
further rise, and he rose and tossed
aside his napkin. Al the cashiers
desk he waited impatiently for his
change ana then plunged through the
door on HIS way to the building where
otherwise staid men and citizens act
like unto college boys on lark.
just about the close Of the session
the broker suddenly thought Of his new
silk umbrella. He had left it at the
restaurant, he remembered, and he i'm
mediately went to the nearest tele-
phone.
"Is this Smiths ?" he asked, interrog-
stively.
Eyes," was the reply.
"Ask that German waiter in your EN-
ploy II he found silk umbrella at his
table. for If 80 1t is likely mine." said
the broker.
The man at the restaurant evidently
went to question the waiter, for In q
moment the broker heard the familiar
"Hello."

he will be here In minute" said the
voice. Hold the wire"
Another minute or two elapsed and
finally the Germans broken English
was heard.

"Yah," replied the German. eagerly.

restaurant telephone. s'Is dis eet7''
The story leaked out through the
restaurant cashier, and the board Of
trade men have kept up the joke.

A STARTLING PROPOSITION.
Claim Made That with the Rise OF
Intellect Physical Beauty
Declines.


Are clever people ugly? That is
the startling question which a writer
ia Pearson's propounds for solution.
There is good reason for believing 1t
lie claimed that the higher we rise in
teliectually the lower we shall fall in
respect of beauty. In plain language
education tends to make people ugly
Directly we begin to think deeply
we agitate what we may call the irri-
tating matter of the brain, ana this
disturbance gradually shows itself in
the face. The thoughtful person low
efs his eyebrows or raises them un-
consciously In the effort Of thinking
and this creates lines and burrows on
the forehead; the mouth assumes a
different shape because the lips are
set firmly together; the poison caused
BY envy and jeaiousy-an inevitable
accompaniment Of edueation-has its
effect upon our compilations. These
are only some of the changes that
take place, and make 1t even now diff.
fcult to retain our good looks after
we have acquired much knowledge and
the power of reasoning. If this is so.
what viii 1t be in a few generations?
As we do more and more of our think
ing for ourselves, instead Of taking
our opinions from others, SO will gen.
Grafton after generation become more
and more highly strung, and will show
In an increasing degree the traces OF
mental activity.
All those characteristics which go
to make up Deauty-the cupid mouth,
the smooth forehead and delicate COM
plexion, the oval face, the gentle ex-
preston of the eyes and the abun-
dance of hair-will disappear, and we
shall have men and women with bald
heads, NO natural teeth, wide mouths.
and, In short, general appearance
which at the present time is regard
ed as the embodiment of ugliness.
Why is it that woman has ALWAYS
been more beautiful than man? In
human beings the attractive Qualities
have always been on the side of the
female. Why is it? Without wishing
to cast any aspersion on the mem
bers of the superior sex, we may fair
ly answer that 1t is because they have
hitherto been the less educated. But
woman's IDEAS are changing; she has
listened to the voice of the 1emptes
whispering In her ear all sorts OF
sweet failacies about equality Of the
sexes, intellectual development and Its
necessity. and the like. and she has
yielded TO the temptation. And the
result of this will be that she will lose
her beauty; she will suffer in appear.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The first IdttIsh church In this
country was recently organized in
Philadelphia. The congregation con.
sisted Of immigrants from the Baltic
provinces in Russia.
The sisters who have charge of the
Holy Cross academy In Washington
d. c., recently presented to the Cath
Ole university a beautiful flag upon
which is painted the papal coat-of-
arms.
Among the contributions to a Bap-
fist church fair held at Reedy, w. Va
were six gold spoons from Mrs. Nc
Kinley, wife of the president, and q
handsome linen handkerchief from
Mrs. William jennings Bryan. The
spoons were sold for $26 and the hand.

Though civil marriage is legal in
Germany, 90 per cent. are still married
with religious service. In 1898 the
communicates who came to the Lords
supper were s.407 $3.50; that is once in
the year at least most Of the people
seem to have partaken. At funerals
70 per cent. held religious services.
A movement has been started. al
Maipas, Cheshire, England, for the res.
toration of the church with which the
name of Bishop Heber is associated
1t was In the neighboring rectery that
BE was born, and he was christened in
the church. His mother was the arch
itect of the rectory and his father the
builder.
A new school for girls has been
founded In the suburbs of Washing

Phoebe A. Hearst, of California. The
chief aim Of the school, as explained
by Mrs. Hearst, is ito build up char

tatsllectual and physical life of the
young women who may seek its bene-

The South African Methodist con-
ference is in some difficulty financially,
and has appealed to the London au-
thorities for loan Of 5000. The
deficit during the last 10 months was
1905. Money belonging to the Wild
ows and orphans fund has been Dor
rowed at Ave per cent, TO meet press
Ing circuit needs, and the special
grants to the Kimberley. Natal and
Cape Colony Districts have been re-
duced by half. In view Of this
scarcity the conference decided that

The tan shoe for women win sooE
be numbered among the things Of the
past, Without single exception the
makers report marked falling old
lin the demand for them and some con,
scerns have not sent out any samples
of them for this season. says fashion
paper.
Tan shoes for women were always
regarded ~ shrewd men in the shoe
business as more or less of fad and
were not expected to become an. es
itablished feature of the business. Ons
of the chief causes for the loss ell
popularity which the tan shoe haa
sustained is the fact that tan shoe
size for size, looks larger than the
black shoe. That alone was enough
ito bring it into disfayor and when
in addition, IL is considered that the
tan shoe, no matter how tastefully,
made, could never compare with
black shoes, Of standard makes in
style or neatness OF appearance, its
speedy decline in public favor as soon
as the novelty of the innovation had
worn of followed as matter OF
course.
This does not apply, however, to the
more elaborate articles got up in
fancy colors, sucn as red, blue, pink
ETC., which are meeting with more and
more favor. The fancy slippers and
shoes made of these shades Of leather
and furnished with the French OF
Louis XIV. wood heel, are being made
in great numbers this season by Lynn

flying results in the demand.
