PRIVILEGES, OF DIPLOMATS.

Which They Are Sent.

+ Above the Law in the Countries to

Therecent arrest of diplomats son
for larceny and his subsequent dis
charge as matter of international
courtesy, brings to, the front one of
the medieval = customs that have
survived to this day. Outside of the
District of, Columbia such an incident
excites curiosity and also some ad-
verse comment. At Washington, how
ever, people are accustomed to recog-
n1zing diplomats as above the law.
Their carriages for instance, are en-
titled to, although they do not always
take. the right of way. Few, if any,
OF the ministers abuse their privileges.
Commenting on the subject a lawyer
said to New York Times reporter:
There is no more reason in this age
OF rapid transit and instantaneous
communication around the earth for
. making diplomat exempt from the
operation of criminal law than there
would be in granting the. same sort of
indulgence to those of our :: dwnisoiti-
zens who have red hair. Two:or: three
hundred years ago there was :: some
sense in the international law which
holds an ambassador or !. plenipoten-
tlary sacred. They were far. away
from their home, with which, they
communicate only at long intervals.
They represented their respective gov
ernments absolutely and were COM
PEELED to act wholly upon their own
responsibility. Such, of course is not
the case now. The minister, GENERALLY
speaking, now simply carries out the
cabled instructions of his government

'Hildred!" he called. and at the
sound of his voice crimson husn
seemed to burn her neck and face. She
was quite silent for minute. and
then she turned to him and held out
her hand.
Can you-do you really forgive
me?' he asked. II hardly dare to
hope that it is true"
1T is quite true" she replied; and
he detected a slight tremor in her
voice, LET me ask question in my

patton, no more self-indulgence. He
made up his mind that all the plans
his wife had contemplated and be-
gun for the benefit Of the estate should
be carried out before she returned
nome. The model cottages should be
built, and men with their families re-
siding in them; the schools should not
only be erected, but open; the aims
houses should be finished, and the old
women occupying them. She should
find her protege, Mary Woodruff, in
stalled as FORTRESS in one OF the lodges:
every wish his wife had ever ex-
pressed should be carried out. every
desire fulfilled; houses should be re-
paired, farms put in good order-he
would neglect not a single thing that
she had ever proposed or thought Of.
No matter what it cost, it all should
be done. He took Sir Raoul into his
confidence. and they found that by en-
ploying extra hands the work could
be done in time.
Lord Caraven, in the midst of his
labors and tolls, did not forget to cor
respond continually with his wife. He
wrote to her every week, never telling
her what he Was doing, but dwelling
continually on his passionate love for
her, on his intense desire to see her
again
So the year passed away. It was
thought advisable for Mrs. Glenvil to
return before the English winter be-
gan, and the beginning of Septic ber
was fixed upon as the time for her and
the countess return. The earl prayed
his wife to allow him to go to Nice
to escort them home, as was at first
arranged. She answered, mo" that her
father would do that. She did not wish
to meet him again until she met him
at home. Her father would bring her
to Court Raven station; he could meet
her there and take her home.
She is right" said Sir Raoul; that
seems to me more fitting. She is right,
as she always. isl.
!: So the day came-.-a bright @Septem-
her day when all the world seemed
changed to the Earl of Caraven. The
train was due at the Court Raven sta
ton" at 9 lin the afternoon, and the
earl was to meet it.
Lord Caraven kept his word. The day
was celebrated as wedding day. Great
tents Were erected in the park, and
all the children and the tenantry were
Toasted *therein.'to their hearts con-
tent: There was nothing but .rejoic-
I. Ing and merriment and happiness.

1.-THE. HEAVENLY TWINS"

Their Lively Performances While
Journeying in Railway Car.
A mother with a half-grown son
and daughter and pair of 6-year-old
twins, as she described them, was
returning on a recent Wednesday
from Atlantic City. Each twin was
armed with a Ratchet, a spade, a
whip, and a bucket but, in spite of
this abundant provision for their di-
version, one seized his sister by her
nose, the other grabbed her hair, and
they tried to screw her head off. Then.
one turned a handspring over the
back OF his seat, and would have
gone out of the car window had not

whereupon he turned and bit his res

sengers. Finally; both jumped over
a seat, fell on top of their sister, and
kicked woman severely in the back.
The latter turned suddenly, and in
the rebound threw one twin on the
floor, and the other nearly out<of the
window. Several passengers now told
the mother that these infants made
them so nervous they would have to
leave the car. A united Hprotest in
duced the mother to make the twins
sit down, but it was only by allowing
them to try to crack her finger bones
that they could be kept partially sta
tionary. -Philadelphia Record.

They drove slowly, for the crowd was
great. 1t increased as they drove
through the park, and when the car
riage stopped at the great entrance it
was wonderful to see the throngs Of
people. The earl stood up to thank
them for their kind and spontaneous
greeting. Then he took his wife's
hand in his, and a beautiful smile
frightened her face as she looked round
upon them-there was hardly one in
the vast gathering who had not re-
ceiyed some kindness, some favor or
benefit from her hands.

who loves his wife has pet name for
her. My wife is the good angel of nv

knew them.

party at the castle; the members of
it were the earl, the countess, Sir
Raoul. Arley Ransome and Mrs. Glen

ANTl-MosQUlT0 PLANT =

The Ricinus Communis Likely to Be
come a Favoritc.
The observation made by Prof.
Starr Of Chicago university that the.
plant which bears the castor bean-the
ricinus cOmmunis, or palma Christi
is eficacious in driving away mos
quitoes, is by no means new, but is
valuable in reinforcing the influence
of one made some time ago. Several
years have passed since it was remark
ed, somewhere in one of the Southern
states, that where these plants grow
about house mosquitoes were always
absent. In view of the demonstrated
functions of the mosquito in spreading
malaria and yellow fever, new value is
given to all means for destroying that
evil insect or keeping it at distance.
The castor bean plant should therefore
be valuable auxiliary to petroleum
the latter exterminating the larvae and
tie former driving away the winged
insect. Possibly Amounting with cas-
tor oil might also keep off the insect
and so prevent it's attacks under cir
cumstances where it would be inprac-
ticable to carry the bean itself. The
castor bean plant has long been COM
mon garden ornament, liked for it's
rapid development to considerable
height, its picturesque foliage and
large tropical-looking leaves, with
flowers that, in certain varieties, are
also showily handsome. With it's be-
neficent function clearly established it
will naturally gain favor rapidly, and
next spring we may see something of
a run on the market for castor BEANS

THE END.
PEOPLES AND CUSTOMS,

Next to it's religious significance salt
was, above all, the symbol of friendship
to the ancients. To eat salt with man
was held by most people, the orientals
especially, to form a sacred tie Of broth
ernood. Any person who had the hardi-
hood to disregard this obligation would
have been: considered social pariah OF
the vilest description. In the Forty
Thieves Cogia Houssain refuses to go
to table with his intended victim for
fear he should partake of this sacred
| substance in his company and thus be
| compelled to forego his plans. When
hard pressed for his reason he makes
excuses for not accepting the proffered
| hospitality by saying: II never eat
| any dish that has salt in it, There Is
an allusion in one edition of 1.-THE Ara
bian Nights" to robber who, wander
ing about in the dark. in a strange

)ect. In order to ascertain it's nature

it to be salt, is compelled to abandon
his burglarious intentions because,
| since he has tasted salt beneath that
roof, he is forced to respect it's mas
