NJ Lanquest, the notary who certified to

capital Of 10000, 900 francs ($2, 1000, ,O00)
whereas no capital ever existed, has an
nounced that he will make good the wild
cat institutions deficit Of nearly 100000
francs (SSOO. .OOO) This step, though SEEM
ingly voluntary, really was intended to
save that very imprudent functionary from
Jail.
So many high personages have been more
or less compromised in the great swindle
that the public every day feels more and
more certain that many culprits have been
allowed to escape so as to avoid perturb-
ing public scandal which would equal that

the police say they have already spent
$50 900 in trying to locate the Humberts.
This money has been paid out for tele-
grams, travelling expenses, etc. According
to the latest police clue the swindlers
touched at Smyrna to coal their yacht, then
at once started away again.
There are two countries from which II
would be difficult to extradite the swind-
lers, Argentine and Greece. The Humberts
knew this as we'll as the authorities and II

other OF the countries, unless Mrs. Hum

PARIS, June 7.-Young Mrs. Shangley Of
New York, who was introduced to the shah
Of Persia in Paris two years ago. recently
took several gondola rides with him in
Venice, where she and her husband chanced
to be. She says the eastern potentate is
not so uucouth as he is painted, that he
converses intelllgently about music and
scenery, and is especially interested In the
marvels of modern science. He expresses
great admiration for physicians and de-
scribed several surgical operations per-
formed under his eyes by his European
physicians, of whom he has three, one
French, one Austrian, one English. The
shahs present hobby is to have his capital
searched for cases requiring surgical help
and have them taken to Ihis palace, where
he watches the operations. The patients
are generously cared for thereafter.
Mrs. Shangley says the shah speaks
French brokenly, yet enough for conversa-
tion, but knows no English, except the
words mo good" Under the tutelage OF
his European physicians, who are his con-
stant companions, he has lost much of his
former primitiveness. The shah is still ex-
travagantly fond Of bon-bons, and some
times eats three pounds in a day. Mrs,
Shangley won his undying friendship by
giving a genuine American candy pulling
party one evening in the shah's apartments
at hotel in Venice. The potentate was
amazed to see the flexible mass worked into
a pretty combination of vivid colors.

rible shock this week Some fool sent her
from Mentone a box containing three
snakes, each about yard long. She
thought she was getting a nice present, and
on opening the box and seeing but dry moss
confidently ran her hand to the bottom into
a cold, Shiny, wriggling mass.
She uttered a cry and ran into another
room and was hysterical for two hours. The
snakes crawled about the furniture until
finally they were killed. On examination it
was found that they were not poisonous
reptiles.
Patti was shrewdly swindled out of a large

which we're worth a fortune. She sent her
husband to a firm which makes a speciality
Of storing furs and other expensive win

that the pretty girl after transcribing the

The first fight, in which the forces under

Twenty is called a score because 1t
represents the whole man, ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically it means
a cut or mark In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or "one man." it was usual
to cut Il notch in stick and begin
again, and so it went on, one man, two
men. and so on. This is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now, q
tally French taille, cut or nicked
means an account kept by means Of n
notched stick, and until the end Of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as eXchequer receipts, accom-
panied by Il written document. This
was also the usual way of keeping ac-
counts In the inns of the middle ages.
The number of drinks or meals Gus
toner had were scored against him on
what was called n tally stick, and
when it reached twenty, or whole
man." he was expected to pay. In
some English country inns scores are
still kept on slate, four chalk marks
and one across-fiye-and four of these
make twenty, or score.
