THE WORLDS PARLIAMENTS

Comparatively Small.

The largest parliamentary body Of
lawmakers is the British house Of COM

membership of 5S4. the Italian par

the German reichstag, the smallest Of
the European parliaments, 1897.
The present membership of the house
of representatives is 357, which is less
than that of any of the European law
making bodies, and the next house Of
representatives will be made up of 1856
members, a small increase when COM
and the requirements Of representation
for each state as fixed by the federal
constitution. Each of the four terri
tories there are now only four will
have a delegate, bringing up the whole
membership of the next congress to
800, a larger membership than is the
rule in legislative bodies in the United
States.
The lower branch Of the New York

A Curious Chinese Custom.

According to the rule sanctioned by
centuries OF Chinese observance, no
document can have the authority Of the
imperial throne of China unless it bears
a red spot placed there by the sover-
eign. TO the grand council the tsung-
li-yamen and all other departments Of
state take their business, and the grand
council in its turn considers all docu-
ments and attaches to each piece OF
red paper on which its own decision is
written. Each morning at daybreak
the grand council proceeds to the pal
ace to submit the papers to the sover-
eign, who as each document is pro-
duced signifies approval by making a
small spot with brush on the margin
of the red paper. With the red spot
upon it the paper Is the most sacred
thing in the world to Chinaman; with
out it it may be torn to shreds with i'm
punity.-Leslie's Weekly.

have never known social season
when there was such a diversity OF
opinion in regard to correct evening
dress standards as there has been this
season. On all hands have noticed q
disposition to indulge in all sorts OF
odd combinations and pecularities
The evening Jacket Is worn with gar
ments that were not designed for it.
and the evening coat is looked upon by
many as. merely proper for formal
dances. Now in good society in New
York evening dress is all that the term
applies. 1t is not jacket dress; 1t is not
semidress. 1t Is the evening coat and
everything that goes with that gar
ment.
The dinner jacket has been SO abused
that today it is best to do without it
entirely. Very few men are situated
so that they have any use for a dinner
jacket. The average man only attends
affairs that call for the evening coat.
At the theater, opera, banquet, even
Ing dinner, dance or ball the evening
suit is proper. The evening jacket Is
out Of place.
A man should never under any cir
cumstances wear high hat Of any
description with an evening jacket.
He should not wear white tie with an
evening jacket. He should not wear
black tie with the evening coat. He
should not wear black studs and black
ties with evening dress because he is
in mourning. He should not wear a
plated shirt with an evening coat
With the evening jacket the high band
collar and the black single breasted
wastcoat are to be preferred. In even
ing dress either the double breasted
white waistcoat or the single breasted
black waiStcoat is proper.
The plain front shirt is the only
proper SHIRT for evening dress That
may seem a broad statement. but as
there is only one plain shirt it is evil
dent that there can be 10 variations.

The deposits of iron ore in the east
ern states. which have been utilized
from precautionary times, gave the
country no special opportunity of CON-
peting with other nations, but the
opening of the splendid ore beds in
upper Michigan gave American iron
and steel industries q wonderful slim
illus. Finally still richer stores were
discovered up in Minnesota on the
north side Of Lake Superior These
lie on the surface Of the ground and
can be mined with steam shovel.
Something like nine-tenths of the iron
produced in the United States just now
comes from Lake Superior and nearly
half Of 1t from the Vermilion and
Mesaba ranges. Englands mines are
slowly becoming exhausted, and her
iron is SO deep in the earth that the
operation Of mining it is much more
costly than that of getting out the
Minnesota ore. Moreover. she is oblig-
ed to import ore from Spain and else

This, however, is but little compared
with what Newfoundland has done. In
no other country in the world is lob
ster Matching conducted on such large
scale as in that colony or on so econom-

liable invention Of floating incubators,

by Mr. Nielsen, Norwegian fish cul-
turist, who took charge of these opera

an average of 45O.OOO,O0O Holsters a

RESORT TO THE BLAoKLTsr.

Tue Eastern League may blacklist
the players who deserted it for the
American League. The decision of the
Lajoie case, is to the effect that a
player cannot be held to the perform
ance of contract, because the club
with which he signed has all the best
of 1t. Contract-breaking is despicable,
but the blacklist is not popular with
the American people and should not
be resorted to except in cases of. dis
honesty. The American League should
not allow Dolan to play with the Ath-
letics if, as claimed, he accepted adj
vance money from Syracuse and Cleve-
land should be compelled to surrender
Schiebeck if it can be shown that the
shortstop was under a constructive
agreement with Montreal The day of
reprisal is not far distant, If contract
jumping is encouraged or taken ad-
vantage of by the American League
club-owners. Let the National have a
monopoly in that kind of business.

II has been proposed to erect at Dun
dee, Scotland, a granite monument
over the grave of James Bowman
Lindsay. He was born in 1899 and
taught electricity, magnetism and
other subjects in Dundee, where he
died some forty years ago. In 1884
Lindsay foresaw that houses and
towns will in a short time be lighted
by electricity instead of gas, and ma
chinery will be worked by it instead of
steam" This prediction was the re-
suit of his observation of the effects
produced by the electric current, and
not merely by dreaming. In 1854
he transmitted telegraphic signals
through the water electrically, and
when the British association visited
Aberdeen in 1859 he demonstrated the
success of his method by sending sig
nails across the harbor. He also read
a paper entitled "Telegraphing With
out Wires"
