r,me and Telephone Work Wonders.

~ was startled the other day, and In
an entirely new way" said promi-
nent electrical engineer. "The use Of
the telephone has become SO much
part of my life that in talking with
my friends and acquaintances every
few days, apparently kept up the ac-
quaintance as Of old when I used to
see them more regularly. A few days
ago I had occasion to visit an old-time
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
riod. When I met him I 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 as OF
old every time I had talked with him,
and you may imagine how surprised,
even shocked, I was to see this change
in him. Did you ever have q 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

what the Reflective Policemen Think.

Have you ever thought what a res
ncctiye person a policeman must be :
That is one in quiet. remote district,
or watchman in a village who wanders
up and down on his beat in company
with his thoughts7 Well, made bold
to ask one recently what he reflected
upon. At first he eyed me suspiciously,
and believe he thought heres another
wild-eyed Boston crank" But the first
mists of misgiving cleared away, and his.
reply was interesting. We'll, am
thinking most how to spend my salary
and educate my boys and girls: Then
sometimes | 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, !.
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 coIld tell stories if we
chose, but we keep the peace, you
know" he concluded with sarcastic
twinkle, as his eye reflected ray from
the fickering street lamp. "The. hours
of the night all have different atmos-
phere, and / could tell the hour by The
very atmosphere, if there were no town
clocks. Well, l must keep moving and
try and add UP one whole nights think
ing for you" The National Magazine.

coIored FIagpoles.

white is, of course, still the prevail
ing color for painting Aagpoles," said
a nagpole man, but you see nowadays
more colorcd fagpoles than you used to,
and I don't know but what l like the
colored fagpoles pretty we'll. White is,
/ suppose, after all the proper color for
a Aagpolc. The white pole seems to
stand up more mast-like 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 rcd. And in my judgment this
deep red is pretty good color for a
flagstaff. Red is good color to stand
exposure; it shows wear less than white
does, and so people paint EN- red.
"As to green, that | must say seems
at first like an odd and inappropriate
color for flagstaff surmounting a build
ing. Nevertheless, pole in dark green
may be digni6ed and slightly object,
and there is one advantage pertaining
to a green pole, namely, it shows off
the gilt top piece, if there is one, to fine
advantage. l have in mind one dark
green pole upon the summit Of. which,
rising above the gilded metallic fixture
indicating the points of the compass, is
a fine, gilded eagle, this whole .op-picce
of gold showing very strikingly and eff
fectively by contrast with its dark green
support "-Nesv York San.

Fist Fights Preface Denth 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 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 wlfe-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 q 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 ut Yoko-
hama, and so hundreds Of American
soldiers visited that city and Toxic.
One Of them hired bicycle and was
taking a 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, "Its
the lust I've got. but Ee can have It,"
and he turned it 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 finc.-Anna N. Benja-
min, in Ainslee's.

At this unpropitious moment the
wheezy old stationmaster walked up
to'them.
"Be you goin' to take this train?" he
asked.
"It's none of your business" retorted
the bridegroom, Indignantly, rs he
guided the bride up the platform.
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence Of the natives.

THE LOVELY PARAsoL.
Examples of Chiffon and Lace Made to
Match Costumes.

Examples of Chiffon and Lace Made to
Match Costumes.
Parasols for the summer Of 1901
have appeared, and lovelier were nev-
er seen. Some exquisltely dainty e1-
ampIes are of chiffon, used In different
ways. White chiffon, for instance, Is
gathered over colored silk and finished
with a deep rufle Of the chiffon dou-
bled; or it may be all white, like q
great snowflake, or bright color may
be toned down by black. Sometimes
At Is black over white, or ruffies of
color are used on a white or black
foundation.
Lace also is largely in evidence, and
the beautiful hand run Spanish lace
80 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-
circllng the shade; some have them
arranged vertically, md others show
incrustations of separate designs. An
exquisite parasol has On each gore a
spray of fuchsia leaves, of white chif-
fon and silver embrt ,dery. with de-
tached fuchsIas of the same delicate
composition fluttering at every more
ment.
Jet spangles appear on many Of the
lace designs, and silver spangles are
employed with embroidery and inser-
ton. A bewitching example is of white
silk, with large ostrich plume de-
sign of black lace on every section.
each plume being Illuminated by sill
yer spangles with charming effect.
Lovely parasols Of silk in Dresden
designs are seen, and many Of them
are bordered by chiffon rufhes. 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

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 Yelde, 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, he said, destroy the
rhythmical line of beauty and create
only color dissonance. If women
would adopt the idea Of uniform
toilet they would soon accustom
themselves to it. The floral designs
so frequent upon women's clothing
nre the consequence Of trivial senti-
mentality and result from the habit
of ,likening women to flowers.
Clothing should fulfil the laws Of
-tug1c Inu reason, Iud sfruuiu cover,
mot conceal. This, M. Van de Yelde
declared, is forgotten by present day
tailors, who smother the figure in q
cloud of puffs, bows. founces and
pleats, all producing the effect of q
formless mass. Perfection In costume
must combine, he said, both health
and beauty.

The expression "star chamber" finds
its origin from the council chamber OF
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
flicted. Its tortures were aptly referred
to by Shakespeare, Carlyle and others.
1t was so called from the stars that gilt
