The Music Masters Tie.

A pretty story comes from Milan, Italy. about the composer Marchetu, who died recently. As Quaen Margheritas music master he was a great favorite at the Italian court, where his modesty and ami ability were highly appreciated. One day he appeared at the Qurinal. and, talk ing off his overcoat, as usual. in an antc' chamber, he cnterad a small drawing room, where the Queen awaited him. The first greetings over, her majesty ex' claimed: Why, Marchetti. what do you look like? I declare, you are going about half dressed"
 Not to my knowledge" answered Marchetu.
 Do you not know that you have come out without a tie?" she continued
 Marchetti became very much embar- rassed, and wished to make his escape, but Her Majesty would not hear of 1t.
 No; stay here" she said. We will soon remedy that" And, calling to a lady's maid, she told her to fetch some cravats from a certain little drawer. Tt is true they are my cravats-a woman's 8 ties" she exclaimed. smiling archly. but we are sure to find something that will suit you"
 And at length one was found. but poor Marchetti was so excited over the bust ness that he was quite unable to tie t for himself

stated the matter in the reports they wrote on their return to the East.
 Are Nocturnal Animals.
 It was not, however, until about ten years ago that the zoologists of the na- tional museum were able to secure a specimen of the Rio Grande animal which is now to be seen stuffed and mounted in the institution aforesaid, and when this happened they saw at glance that 1t was not the Yaguarondi cat oi Azara, but an entirely new animal. The Indians of the Rio Grande valley called the animal the 'Cacomictl,' word of doubtful or unknown significance, and with due regard for local terms, the zoo- logists forthwith named the animal 'felis Cacomictl."
 Notwithstanding this discovery and re- naming the majority of those who are at all familiar with the animal continue still to speak of the latter as the "Yag- uarondi cat" just as people further East persist in calling a certain variety of marmot a ground hog when there is no hog about it, for the same general reason that the animal was first known under such a name. On viewing the un- usually fine pair of Cacomictl cats at the zoo most people would be inclined to the view that this species represents a de- parture from the normal of the cat fam fly and that in the Cacomictl cat one sees A case of adaptation of an extreme form-that is to say, in time past the CacomictI cat has been driven by stress of circumstances, or necessity, to get its living out of the ater. Those indtvida- als that in form were more like otters could swim faster, dive better and see fish quicker survived and thus in the struggle for existence finally evolved a race of cats with bodies and heads like those of an otter or mink. But 1t is more than likely that instead of this being the case the Cacomictl cat is the most prlm- itive form of the feline race in the world and that instead of having been vastly modified from the generality of felines as they are now known, the Cacomictl cat has, of all members of its family. changed the least in the centuries sin.,e the dawn of the Eocene period The | reason for this view is as follows:

Is Prosperity Bad for Religionp

Is FroSper1ty 6ao TOT ue4lSAonE Chicago Tribune
 The New York Tribune recently stated, and The Financial Review approvinSly repeated. the statement that the old saying that prosperity is bad for re- ligiof seems to be borne out in the year just closed" It would be interesting to know upon what facts or figures these two papers tase this remarkable state msnt.
 It is doubtful whether any more per sons than usual are reading the Bible as literature, or that the large sales or other books have in any way influenced the sale of Bibles. If. therefore, the sale of Bibles has increased during the last year it would indicate increased in terest in religion and the churches What are the facts in Chics go? Since July l, on which date the largest edition of Bi- bleS on record was printed by Chicago Bible publishing house, that house has been unable to All its orders. and is today over 10000 copies behind its sales. An other edition of like number with the first, now on the presses. will be consun- ed by the trade by December 1. Never before has a Chicago publisher sold over IS, 900 copies of the Bible in a year. while the sales of this one house have been three times that number in six months. There is no reason to suppose that what Is true In one city as to Bible sales is not true in another, for while Chicago is always a righteous city, 1t is not any more so than the other cities of tho plaIn." This does not look es if pros perity were bad for religion"
 If prosperity is bad for religion" how comes it that the Methodist denomina- ton during the last twelve months Tn this country, Canada and England has raised $2S. .s50. 900; the Canadian Presbyte- rians q, ,43O. 900: the English Congregation alists $3,312, 900, and the English Baptists S, ,250. .000? There are several other de- nominations yet to be heard from, for at the beginning of the twentieth century various denominations resolved to make | a vigorous effort to establish what they | called jubilee fund" It is now ex- pected that by the close of this year the aggregate fund will rech s75O 1000. It is to be remembered also that the collec- ton of this great fund has not in any way interfered with the regular church l collections for running expenses. This

There were also soda water slot ma chimes and one which furnished con- somme or hot beef tea at 4 cents per drink.

This company has, I venture, 1)C or more restaurants where you can al ways be sure of good service and good food. You pay for what you eat and pay for everything, but the prices are low.
 A Dinner for Three Francs.
 Take. fer instance. a lunch which had today at one of these establishments. Upon entering the bookkeeper at the door gave me a slip of paper on which was to be recorded the charges for the food I ordered. took this with me to the table and handed it to the waitress, a sweet-faced Frenchwoman, who looked like sister of charity in her white cap and black gown. I was next handed a bill of fare. The variety upon 1t was as large as that of the menu of one of the best New York restaurants. the price of each dish being marked in plain figures.

ANECDOTES OF THE SHAH.
His Persian HiEhness Is Not Entirely
Without Sense of
HumOr.

The shah supplies a fair crop of anec-
dotes daily, says the London Tele-
graphs Paris Letter. His sayings and
doings lend themselves largely to
anecdote treatment, and they are
therefore carefully recorded. The
latest tory is about the shah and the
dentist. His majesty suffered from
toothache soon after his arrival in
Paris, and a professional extractor of
high-class molars was sent for. The
professional looked at his majesty's
teeth and advised the extraction not
of one, but of several. The operation
was postponed for day, but when the
dentist returned to the Elysee Palace
hotel he found the shah all right and in
a playful mood. The toothache had
gone, and there was no longer any
need for the dentists services. AS the
professional was preparing to leave
the shah called him back, saying: 81
do not like to have troubled YOU for
nothing. so, as you have come, you had
better draw a molar from each of nv
counselors." The shah spoke with his
eyes fixed on the ground and in medi-
tative manner. When he looked up all
the counselors had vanished, with the
exception of the grand vizier, who
manfully stood his ground unmindful
as to whether his all-powerful master
was in joke or in earnest. The other
counselors evidently believed in the
earnestness of the masters utter
ances The anecdote is something like
that old one told of the present shah's
predecessor. who, when in Paris, asked
to see NJ. Deibler at work with the gull
lotine. When he was informed that
there was nobody in La Roquette at the
time waiting for execution he proposed
that one of his suite should be handed
over to Deibler and decapitated in the
Champs Elysees.

ROYAL CHURCH WORKER.
Zealously for Spiritual We'll
fare of Her People.

1t isn't often that you find a queen
going in seriously for religious work,
but that is what the queen of Norway
and Sweden does. OF course, her court
and family duties do not leave the
elderly royal lady much time for out
side employments, but all that she has
she devotes to looking after the spir-
itual welfare of her two peoples.
All sects are on the same footing
in the estimation of this highly placed
"church worker" so long as they ac-
complish good. She herself is mem
Der OF the Swedish Evangelical party,
and when she was in England in 1900
the religious work done by the low
church greatly attracted her. She at
tended social meetings of those who
devoted themselves to lettering the
condition of the poor, and got many
pointers" for her future work at
home. She is the stanchest friend
that the Salvation Army has in her
realm, and the great influence which
the followers of Gen. Booth have
gained in Sweden is due more than
little to the encouragement they
have received from the queen.
Queen Sophie, however, is not the
only member of the Swedish royal
family with spiritual tendencies. Her
eldest son, the crown prince, is too
busy learning statecraft to give much
time to spreading Christianity, but
her second son, Prince Oscar, and his
wife. (who are known as the Count
and Countess Won Wisberg) are their
mothers devoted lieutenants in all
her religious enterprises.
The count and countess are, of
course, the handsome young couple
whose picturesque love affair made
such time in Sweden several years
ago, and in dealing with which King
Oscar II. behaved so good-naturedly.
The countess was then Miss Ebba
Munck, lady-in-waiting to Queen So
phie, and it was to be expected that
the king would do all in his power

THE CARE OF CARPETS.
Some Housewives Destroy Theis
Floor Coverings by BEING En-
tireIy Too Economical,

To keep good carpet do not hide
it under cheap drugget, as many a
prudent but short-sighted housewife
does. This only makes good carpet
the lining for a poor one. Through the
loose fibers of the drugget dust filters
and little bits of dirt, which wear away
the fabric underneath.
1t is always best to have the carpet
laid by men from the store, as they
know how to avoid straining the fiber.
Let them also clean the carpets, as the
amateur usually does more harm than
good as a cleaner. The carpet should
be brushed away from the nap. Nap
dragged daily the wrong way weakens
and pulls away.
To clean a carpet it should be done
over yard by yard with a clothes brush,
sweeping with the nap. This will give
you chance to see all the stains.
The right method to treat good
carpet is to lay it carefully on soft
bedding of thick layers CT newspapers
or of brown paper The printing ink
on newspapers is disliked by the moth.
which will avoid such things as place
unsuitable for the laying of its eggs.
Thus thick folds of newspapers not
only give thick undertaking for the
floor, but relieve the housewife of one
source of worry-moths in her best
carpet. The papers should be renewed
each time the carpet is taken up.-Ros-
ton Journal.

to prevent the attachment between
his second son and young woman
without a title from coming to any
thing. The monarch, however, as
soon as he was convinced that his
son was honestly in love, permitted
him to make his morganatic mar
riage, insisting merely that, as usual,
the young man should give up his
succession to the throne. This Prince
Oscar was glad to do. He took the
title of Count Won Wisberg, married
Miss NuncL in England, and they

as one of the most attractive young
women of the Swedish court, the
present countess was great reli-
gious worker, and it is her example
which has led her husband to give so
much attention to this rather novel
form OF royal amusement.
1t is not SO very strange that King
Oscar should have acted as he did in
regard to his sons marriage, for he
is regarded as perhaps the most un-
ceremcnious as well as one of the
most talented of European monarchs.
At the weekly receptions which his
majesty holds in Stockholm any one
of his subjects, be he high or low, is
welcome.
To them come noblemen, poor cod
fishers, wealthy merchants and even
peasants, and to almost every one
the affable royal host has a good
humored word or two to say. His
majesty's mode Of getting from place
to place is quite as originator a
king. Except on grand occasions he
never thinks of using his state car
riage, but will jump carelessly on a
passing street ear, or, if he hasn't
too far to go, walks along the street
like any one else, entirely without
escort. Probably if King Edward
were 10 sauntcr alone down Piccadil-
ly traffic would be stopped by the
crowds that would gather to get a
near view of their sovereign. King
Oscar, however, is so we'll known a
figure that passers-by hardly turn
their heads except to salute him.
The l:ing's literary gifts are, of
course, well known. He has trans
lated Goethe's Faust he has pub
lished several books of poems and
composed four or five rafting sailor
songs. His majesty's poems are pub
