wha. the Reflective Policemen Think

Have you ever thought what a aressi
ncctiye person, policeman must be
That is, one in quiet, remote district,
or a watchman in village who wandersi
up and down on his beat in company
with his thoughts1 Well, made bold
to ask one recently what he reflected
upon. At first he eyed me suspiciouslS,
and l believe he thought heres another
wiId-eyed Boston crank" But the first
mists of misgiving cleared away, and his.
reply was interesting. "Well, am
thinking most how to spend my salary
and educate my boys and girls: Then
sometimes 1 wonder when I'm out
nights what the good little woman will
have at breakfast. No; ringing at the
call box is a matter of habit. Yes, 7.
sometimes have quiet little chat like
this; then I'm watching the cabs turning
out their loaded cargoes at the fine
houses, in the small hours of the morn
ing. l tell you, money, too much spend
ing money, is curse to the average
young man. We could tell stories if We
chose, but we keep the peace, you
knowl' he concluded with a sarcastic
twinkle, as his eye reflected ray from
the Pickering street lamp. The hours.
of the night all have different atmos-
pherc, and could tell the hour by Che
very atmosphere, if there were no town
clocks. Well, must keep moving and
try and add up one whole nights think
ing for you."-The National MagaSine.

aHNAI WORLD
THE LOVELY PARAsoL

Examples of Chiffon and Lace Made to
Match Costumes.
Parasols for the summer Of 1901
have appeared, and lovelier were nev-
Ser seen. Some e1quisitely dainty e1-
amples are of chiffon, used in different
ways. White chiffon, for instance, is
gathered over colored silk and finished
with a deep rufile Of the chiffon dou-
bled; or it may be all white, like a
great snowflake, or bright color may
Be toned down by black. Sometimes
1t is black over white, or ruffies of
are used on q white or black
foundation.
Lace also is largely in evidence, and
the beautiful hand run Spanish lace
so popular some years ago has re-
turned, some superb covers being
shown, both in black and white.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have them carefully laid away may
now bring them out for renewed use
fulness.
Lace Is introduced also into silk
parasols In many ways. Some have
several straight lines Of insertion en-
circlIng the shade; some have them
arranged vertically, and others show
incrustations Of separate designs. An
exquisite parasol has on each gore a
spray Of fuchsia leaves, Of white chif-
fon and silver embroidery, with de-
tached fuchsas of the same delicate
composition futterlng at every move
ment.
Jet spangles appear on many Of the
lace designs, and silver spangles are
employed with embroidery and inser-
ztIon. A bewltching example is of white
silk, with q large ostrich plume de-
sign of black lace on every section,
each plume being Illuminated by sill
yer spanglcs with charming effect.
Lovely parasols Of silk in Dresden
designs are seen, and many of them
are bordered by chiffon ruff1es. Some
have brilliant flower patterns on white
grounds or black in stripe effects.
There never were so many styles from
which to choose, indeed, and one may
find even the striped "watered silks
of her grandmother's days If she de-
sires, while for those who wish abso-
lutte simplicity there are plain colors
In soft satin or silk.
In handles the usual variety Is seen,
but many of the richest parasols have
large handles of natural wood. Some.
however, have slender sticks enamelled
In colors to match or contrast with
the covering Of the parasol.-New York
Tribune.

CoIored FlagpoIes.

"White is, of course, still the prevail
ing color for painting Aagpoles," said
a flagpole man, but you see nowadays
more colorcd Aagpoles than you used to,
and l don't know but what like the
colorcd fagpoles pretty well. White is,
suppose, after all the proper color for
a hagpolc The white pole seems TO
stand up more mast-lke and defiant, but
the colorcd pole is more picturesque.
"Thc poles that thus far have been
painted in other colors than white have
most of them been painted red, terra
Gotta red. And in my judgment this
deep red is a pretty good color for a
flagstaff Red is a good color to stand
exposure; it shows wear less than white
does, and so people paint 'em red.
"As to green, that | must say seems
at first like an odd and inappropriate
color for flagstaff surmounting build
ing. Nevertheless, pole in dark green
may be a dignifed and slightly object,
and there is one advantage pertaining
to a green pole, namely, it shows off
the gilt top-picce, if there is one, to fine
advantage. l have in mind one dark
green pole upon the summit of which,
rising above the glded metallic fixture
indicating the points of the compass, is
fnc, gilded eagle, this whole top-picce
of gold showing very strikingly and Ell
fectivcly by contrast with its dark green
support" "-Nesv York San.

Time and Telephone Work Wonders.

81 was startled the other day, and in
m entirely ne. way" said promi-
nent electrical engineer. "The use of
the telephone has become so much q
part of my life that in talking with
my friends and acquaintances every
few days, apparently kept up the ac-
qualntance as of old when used to
see them more regularly. a few days
ago had occasion to visit an old-tine
friend of mine with whom had
talked probably once week or oftener
for the past three or four years. but
whom had not seen during that Pc
Rod. When I met him was startled.
His black beard had turned gray, al
most white, and he had changed IN
other respects as was natural during
the three or four years Of that period,
yet through the use Of the telephone
had In my minds eye seen him rs OF
old every time had talked with him,
and you may imagine how surprised,
even shocked, was to see this change
in him. Did you ever have similar
experience? I imagine the increasing
use of the telephone causes many of
them. You hear the usual voices on
the telephone and mentally picture the
friend as he looked when you saw him
last-which may have been year or
several years in the past. "-Electrical

INSIDE JAPAN.
Fist Fights Preface Death Struggles = No
Wife-Beating.

Fist Fights Preface Death Struggles - No
Wife-Beating.
In spite Of qualities Of easily aroused
antagonism. Of pride and Spartan
ideals, the japanese are an essentially
gentle race-more so than the Anglo
Saxons. Broils in which one man hits
another are Of rare occurrence; blows
are generally the preface Of a death
struggle. The women may often suf-
fer from the prevailing ideals of mo-
rality, which are yet much lower than
ours, but there are few wife-beate1s,
and the home atmosphere is almost al
ways outwardly peaceful. 1t follows
that little true poltIeness on the part
Of the foreigner goes long way, and
almost invariably meets with warm
recognition; you rarely appeal to the
Japanese In vain. They are as quick
to respond to IN act of real kindness
as they are to resent an act which has
tinge Of arrogance. Our Government
allowed several transports with re-
turning volunteers to stop at Ioko-
hama, and so hundreds of American
soldiers visited that city and Toxic.
One Of them hired bicycle and was
taking ride about the streets Of Yo-
kohama when he ran down IN elderly
Japanese man. The soldiers rang his
bell several times, but the Japanese
apparently paid no attention to it, and
the American found himself promptly
arrested and taken to court, where he
was fined ten "yen" (S5). He protested
that he had done everything possible
to avert the accident. and asked why
the man made not attempt to get out
of the way. The policeman then told
him that the man was blind. The sol
dier looked dazed for minute, then
felt in his pocket and brought out
ten-dollar bill. Here" he said, "It's
the Iast I've got. but he Gun have It,"
and he turned 1t over to the blind man.
The Japanese were deeply touched.
anu that same day delegation of po-
licemen hunted up the soldier and gave
him back his fnc.-Anna N. Benja-
min, In Ainslee's.

As They Chose.

While waiting for the train the bride
and bridegroom walked slowly up and
down the platform.
81 don't know what this joking and
guying may have been to you," he re-
marked, "but It's death to me. I never
experienced such an ordeal"
"It,s perfectly dreadful she an
swered. II shall be SO glad when we
get away from everybody we know"
They're actually impertinent," he
went on. "Why, the very natives"
At this unpropitious moment the
wheezy old stationmaster walked up
torthem.
"Be you goin' to take this train?" he
asked.
"It's none of your business" retorted
the bridegroom, Indignantly. as he
guided the bride up the platform.
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence Of the natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last to
their destination that day; an express
nearer, it came at full speed, then in
moment 1t whizzed past and was
gone.
"Why in thunder didn't that train
stopw yelled the bridegroom.
"Cos you sed 'twarn't none Of my
bizness. 1 has to signal If that trains

And as the old stationmaster softly
stroked his beard there was wicked
twinkle In his eye.-London Spare Mo-

The Star Chamber.

The expression "star chamber" finds
its origin from the council chamber oi
the old palace at Westminster, London,
which was so designated. In the early
part of the present century the last OF
the buildings used for this purpose were
torn down. In this, secret court every
punishment except death could be in
hicted... Its tortures were aptly referred
to by Shakespeare, Carlyle and others.
1t was SO called from the stars that gilt
tered from the ceiling. Star chamber
is also an appellation given to a ia
nous apartment in Kentucky's celebrat-
ed Mammoth cave 1t is beautiful hall

sentimcntality in Dress.

"Flowers upon clothing are sym.
Dol of the tyranny in which women
are held" said NJ. Van de Velde, a
Belgian artist, who lectured in Vienna
recently. In the opinion Of M. Van
de Velde, the uniform attire Of men
at dinner or public function ex-
presses more beauty than does the
hit-and-miss effect Of the women's
costumes. The mixed colors Of the
present gowns, lie said, destroy the
rhythmical line of beauty and create
only color dissonance. If women
would adopt the idea Of a uniform
toilet they would soon accustom
themselves to 1t. The floral designs
so Frequent upon women's clothing
are the consequence of trivial senti-
mentality and result from the habit
Of .likening women to flowers.
Clothing should fulfil the laws of
-fug1c uuu reason, uuu shuuiu cover,
not conceal. This, M. Fan de Yelde
declared, is forgotten by present day
tailors, who smother the figure In q
cloud of puffs, bows. fiounces and
pleats, oil producing the effect Of 4
formless mass. Perfection in costume
must combine, he said, both health
and beauty.
