st. Paul, Jar. 29.-Fire that started
in the Davidson block, at the northeast
corned of Fourth and Jackson streets,
aused last night a property loss OF
$205. 900. Two of the four stories Of the
building We're burned, and the walls
and lower portion of the structure were
saved only after a stubborn fight. Ten
ants managed to save a vestige of their
belongings, carting them to a place or
safety on the sidewalks or in adjoining
buildings. The fire was discovered at
7:07 o'clock by E. D. Babcock, who had
a printing establishment on the fourth
floor Of the building. Mr.. Babcock
was sitting at his desk in room SO when
he saw the flames, which had eaten
through the floor. He sent in an alarm,
which was followed quickly by a sec
ond alarm when Chief Jackson ar
rived. This brought ten engines, which
worked on the fire until long after
midnight.

English Brides Travelling Gowns.

Occasionally some stray glimpse into
English ways and customs strikes the
American observer anew with the
points of Indifference between the two
races. For instance, the summer bride
in England most often wears for her
going away gown textures of sum-
merry lightneSs that no American bride
would think 1'bf donning for travelling,
even for a short distance. In a recent
number of an English fashion maya
zine are several pages filled with re-
ports of weddings and the descriptions
of the gOingo away gowns read like
this: "The brides travelling costume
consisted of a white muslin dress,
trimmed with lace, and a white straw
hat arranged with blue velvet and pink
roses"
Mrs. G. travelled in cream dress
trimmed with satin"

MACHARAJAH OF YAiPUR HAS 80

Efforts to Prevent Loss Of Caste COM
pei Carrying Queer Thinos.

pei Carrying Queer Things.
Some remarkable precautions for the
observance of the obligations of caste,
were taken by Indian princes WHO are
now in this country for the corona
ton Of their king emperor. For in
stance, the preparations for the voyage
of the Maharajah Sawai Madho Singh
OF Jaipur, who arrived few days ago,
were unprecented in Hindoo orthodoxy
The steamer Olympia was especially
chartered for the maharajah's party
consisting of 125 persons, and no other
passengers were allowed on board.
Six kitchens were fitted up on the
Olympia, one being for the prince HIM
self, another for his family deity,
which, with suitably gorgeous equip
ment, was brought with the party, and
other kitchens for important person
ages, including Brahmin followers, in
the maharajahs retinue.
Food sufficient for all for six months,
with drinking water from the Gauges.
gage, and in the general arrangement
every care that foresight could sug-
gest was taken to prevent the necessity
of purchasing anything and having
work done by foreigners in an un-
Hindoo country. Thus blacksmiths,
carpenters, and washer men were TAX
en- with the party; even the soil used
for the cleaning of various utensils was
taken on board. Furthermore, 1t was
promised by the owners of the steam
er, who signed contract containing
this express stipulation, that no beef
or veal should be allowed on the ship.
The area set aside on board the
steamer for the use of the party was
exclusive to their use, not even the
members of the crw being permitted
to enter. For the accommodation Of
the family Idol particular space was
allotted, and this was curtained with
silk on all four sides, and had a mar
BILE floor specially laid down.
Such rigid adherence to the tenets
of Hindooism is characteristic of the
religious maharajah of Jaipur.-Lon-

Feet as a Racial Trait,

Scientists were never so busy in curious
lines of investigation as in these days,
and now they tell us that the shape of
the foot has features which distinguish
one race from another. The French foot
Is narrow and long. The Spanish foot is
small and elegantly curved-thanks to its
Moorish blood-correspondi to the Cas-
tilian's pride Of being thigh in the in

its high arch. The Koran says that a
stream of water can run. under the true

short and f1eshy.
When Athens was in her zenith the
Grec1an foot was the most perfectly
