Francis. rep resented this country at the Grecian court during the administration of President Grant. Later he was trans ferred to Portugal, and from there to the most responsible post in Aus tria. During this time the son served as his private secretary, and now comes his appointment to the same position when he has reached exactly the same age as his father when he received his first appointment.
 While Col. Francis has been active in political circles for a number of years. being chairman of the execu- tive committee of the National Repub- lican Editorial associa ton, he has never before held public office.
 He is fond of aquatic sports, and during his college course at Cornell he won the single scull championship on several occasions.

name. Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan came of fine old Persian stock. He was gifted in all the learning of the east, also was he the possessor of fabulous riches an0 many fine clothes. all of which he came fo Washington to display. But ms name was too much for him. He had not been in the country week; even worse than that, he had not yet reached our shores before the name of HaoJI Hassim Ghooly Khan had been coupled with all sorts of things that would make a funny rhyme. These rhymes with caricatures of the owner of such a name greeted him as he stepped from the vessel in New York; they followed him to Washington; the boys on the streets cried them at him when he went for a constitutional or to pay state visit.
 He stood it manfully for awhile; he tried to bury the name before the dig pity of his office and his fine raiment, and then. just as the fun was beginning to lag a. bit he made his fatal mistake he complained to the state depart ment of the treatment accorded him Dy the American press-and the boys.
 He did not understand the workings of free press in free country. nor the inalienable rights of young Ameri- "a. That complaint started all the fun anew, and Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan. In sheer desperation, packed up his fine clothes, took all his name with him, and left for home, never to return.
 From that time until a few weeks lgo Persia has been without diplo- matic representative at Washington. Then came a new one with the less rhymthical name of Isaac Khan Mo- fakhamed Dovet. It is said that he, too, had much wealth and fine clothes, and that he is establishing a legation in Washington that makes all previous efforts of his countrymen pale into snsignifcance by comparison.

This he does not expect to do. however. The mag nificent Piombino palace, in which Min ister Draper and family lived, will henceforth be the home of Dowager Queen Margharieta, and the new Amer ican ambassador will take less pre- tentious quarters near the quirinal.
 In the veins of both Am bassador and Mrs. Meyer flow the blood of the old est and bluest families in Boston. They have a beautiful town house on Bea con Hill, but spend much of the year at their country place at Hamilton, near the Myopia ketnnels, and have a cottage at Newport. where they spend 2 part of each summer.
 Ambassador Meyer served his city in the common council, and his state in the legislature, of which he was speaker for three terms. He is the Massachusetts member of the republic an national committee, and did effec- tive work for his party during the last campaign.
 Mrs. Meyer is a represent tative Bos- ton society woman. and has all the grace necessary 10 fill her new posi- tion. She has the reputation of being one of the best-dressed women in Bos- ton. and takes a motherly pride in see ing her three children-two girls and . boy-dressed with equal neatness.

A pleasing movement in the direction
of better living is that Of the Home
Gardening Association in Cleveland,
Ohio, to encourage the cultivation Of
flowers. 1t is charity in it's broadcast
sense, as it will do much to make life
brighter in some of the dreariest parts
of the city. This association has dis
tributed this spring 10000 packages
of good flower seeds, placing them
where there is most need of improve
ment in the surroundings of tenements
and lodgings. Some OF the seed will
fall on stony ground, to. be sure, but
there is the love Of the beautiful in
most ~nearts, the love of the colors Of
flowers. and of seeing plants grow,
coupled with the pride of possession OF
pretty things. Ali that this feeling
needs for development is encourage
ment and advice, and in giving that
the cleveland Association will awaken
new interest in nature, and will broad
en- and elevate life for hundreds Of
families.

The. Growing Indifference to Wealth.

An interesting fact that encoun-
tiers is that strong men care less and
less for wealth. 1t becomes a mere
counter in the game that they play
for power or for sport, and oftenest
Of all from sheer habit. Having once
begun the game they suffer ennui IL
they stop. 1t is here that u highest
educational problem is-to train strong
men to cultivate their souls" without
losing their vigor.
And the truly cultivated man, the
strong man who has both benevolence
and the higher of mind and
character-such a man soon discovers
that it is 10 longer necessary to be
rich. To such a man The accumulation
Of great wealth for his personal enjoy
ment Is a sheer waste of energy. a
right and well-balanced philosophy
will emerge in due time from our
boundless activity, and we shall see
a sound culture give balance to our
stronger personalities as it now
sweetens chiefly those that are less
strong.-The Worlds Work.

Bathroom Furniture.

Bathrooms. curiously enough, are
apt to better in apartments than in
houses. At any rate, if you leave out
of consideration large and important
new houses, you will find that the best
showing is made in apartment bath
rooms. The newest of them always
have the tiled floors and dados, with
the porcelain tubs, the closed plumb
ing being confined to old apartments.
1t might seem, then, at first, that al
most nothing was left you as a tenant
to do, but in reality there are eyer so
many opportunities for the giving Of
distinctive touches. The color of your
rug, for instance, must be considered,
and, again, of your curtains, and still
again of your walls, and last, but by
no means least, there are the color and
quality of your basin and pitcher, since
most unhappily, all bathrooms are not
furnished with stationary basins.
When, therefore, it is necessary to in
troduce a basin and pitcher, the prob
lem is not always an easy one. 1t Ia
sometimes met by a board which ia
placed across the tub and on which
the basin and pitcher are placed. II
the tub happens to be an old one en-
cased in walnut, this board a be
treated with a walnut stain, but if the
tub be white it should also be painted
white. Give it first one coat of or
binary paint, to be followed by anoth-
er coat Of bath enamel, which Is not
injured by hot water.-Harper's Bazaar.

Keeping the Home HealthfuI,

The heat and moisture of the sum-
mer months have a tendency to rust
metals, mildew fabrics and cover all
sorts Of substances with mold. Fer
mentation and putrefaction develop
rapidly in vegetable and animal SUBJ
stances if they are not carefully
watched. Lime and charcoal are two
aids toward keeping the house sweet
and dry, and the housekeeper should,
l. possible, provide herself with both
Of these materials. A barrel each Of
lime and charcoal in the cellar will
tend to keep that part of the house dry
and sweet. A bowl of lime in a damp
closet will dry and sweeten it. A dish
of charcoal in a closet or refrigerator
will do much toward making these
places sweet. The power of charcoal to
absorb odors is much greater directly
after it has been burned than when it
has been exposed to the air for alength
of time. Charcoal may be purified and
used again and again by heating it to
a red heat. The lime must be kept in
a place where there Is no chance of its
getting wet and not exposed to air.

Energetic Lors,nakinr In .1anan,

Strange suits are filed at times in
the japanese law courts, but none
more curious than one winch is now
before the local court Of Usuki-Machi,
in the Oita prefecture. In this case
a c%ultivator brings an action in which
he seeks to have the court compel a
japanese girl to reciprocate the af-
lection which he alleged he has de-
monstrated toward her, with her con-
sent, for several years. He has wooed
the lady, he declares, since 1897, and
she has recently looked with favor
upon him and accepted baked sweet
meats" at his hands. She invited him
to her house a few days ago, and after
partakng of various d~elicacies at his
expense. slime away and left him to
be uneeremoniously kicked out by her
friends. On these grounds he prays
for the Intervention Of the court to
compel her to return his love. The
judge is taking time to consider the
matter.-PhiladeIphia Telegraph.

A Periloua i,osition.

She stood leaning lightly against

fashionably arranged hair was slight

frightened look in her eyes. Her col
or came and went Historically, and
her modish sealskin jacket was open
at the throat in oblivion to the chill
March winds. Once or twice she was
seen to advance spasmodically to a
passer by and covertly retreat again.
The throngs hurried past, and no one
noticed or cared for her distress. At
length the cold, gray twilight deep
ened into night and the street lamps
flashed out on the buildings along the
opposite side Of the street.
Overcome by her position, the girl
broke down and wept. Then, indeed,
did some one notice her and pity her.
