A Sarcastic Professor.

One day in his classroom at the
university at Berkeley Professor
Bernard Moses began to illustrate
a point he had been making by quot
ing at length passage in French
from one of the political economists
of the University of Paris. A stu
dent ventured to interrupt, remark
ing that the recitation, however val
liable, would have more significance
for him if the professor should rem
der it into English.
"Do you not speak French ?" Pro-
fessor Moses asked. 81 regret to
state that I do not" rejoined the
student.
'1n that case" replied the pro-
fessor, preparing to continue with
the quotation, 81 should advise you
to get up early some morning before
breakfast and learn it."

Would Try the Old Masters.

A reputation for wit is like a roll
ing snowball-it gathers from with
out more than it develops from
within. He who possesses the repu-
tation for witty stories shall have
witty stories added to him, so to
speak. Just so with the great ma
tional type, the American parvenu.
There is a charming woman in
Washington who betrays her begin
nings sometimes, so all the mala-
propisms current are told of her.
And here is another. 1t is prob
ably quite as true as some of the
others. An acquaintance met the
lady on the deck of an outgoing
steamer. Two of her daughters were
with her.
"What, off for Europe again ?
What is the errand this timer"
'Tm going to have the dear girls

artists in vain. Now we're going

can do"

UNcRoWNED QUEENS.
Seven Of Them Have Sat Upon the
Throne of England.

Throne of England.
English history shows that there
were several queens of England
just seven of them, in fact-who
were never crowned.
Margaret of France, the young
second wife of Edward l., was oblig-
ed to forego all the splendors of
such a pageant because her royal
husband, forsooth, could not afford
the expense of a coronation.
King Henry VIII. took most of
his wives without giving them the
ceremony of a coronation. But in
his case there were so many of them
that his course might have been
deemed a wise economy. Besides,
he spent so much the once he did go
in for a queens coronation, that Of
Anne Boleyn, that it is small won
der the money fell short for the la
dies who succeeded her, Jane Sey-
mour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine
Howard and Catherine Parr.
Henrietta Maria, the young and
pretty wife of Charles l., went with
out coronation not from necessity,
but from choice. Being a French
princess and Roman Catholic, she
declined to take part in state func-
ton which would oblige her to par
take of the sacrament according to
the Church of England rites.
Caroline of Brunswick was denied
the pleasure Of coronation not for
financial reasons nor for religious
principles, but because her spouse,
George ~, particularly specified
that he wouldn't have her share in
his honor When he was crowned,
he would not even permit her to be
present at Westminster abbey to see
the ceremony. When she tried to
get in, she was repulsed and turned
away from all of the entrances. She
went home to die three weeks later
Of a violent fever, induced by the
excitement.

DEALING WITH ANARCHY.
a Bill Formulated BY The House
Committee on judiciary.

Bill Formulated BY The House
Committee on judiciary.
The house committee on judiciary
has at last formulated an anti
anarchy measure to take place of
the many bills presented on the
subject and to meet the almost
universal demand for laws protect
ing those in the line of succession
to the presidency from murder and
assault, and for the repression of
the pernicious doctrines aimed at
the undermining of government.
To reduce to practical basis
the campaign against this insidious
evil, and to incorporate the senti-
ment that is aboard in the land
into effective law. has doubtless
been task requiring the utmost
skill of those conversant with the
legal aspects of the question.
The task of enacting uniform
national law for the punishment
of assaults upon those in authority
has been comparatively simple.
There is no doubt of the constitu-
tional power of Congress to deal
with this subject. and the fact that
murder is not punished with uni
form severity in all the states makes
it incumbent upon the national
Government to have means of its
own in dealing with criminals who
attack high officers of the general
Government.
On this score the judiciary COM
mittee says: "Had the murder Of
President Mckinley been commit
ted in Wisconsin the assassin
would have been imprisoned for
life, and had the President lived
his would b, murderer could have
been imprisoned in New York for
10 years only. The enactment of
the statute proposed will not pre-
vent state from Furnishing the
offense of killing or assaulting the
President or any of the officers
referred to when the offense is
committed within such state, unless
the Federal authority sees fit to
interpose. 1t is well settled that
when an act offends against both
the state and national sovereignty
either, and sometimes both, may
punish.''
Senator Hoar's "anarchy island"
is not mentioned in the comprehen-
sive plan of the judiciary committee.

Out of Siuht.

I Eyes, I have a pretty big mouth,
for a fact" admitted the candid
man, ''but I have learned to keep it
shut, and that counts for something
when you take your levels. ] re-
ceived a lesson when l was small
boy that l have never forgotten. I
was born and brought up on a
farm, and I had the country boy
habit of going around with my
mouth wide open, especially if there
was anything unusual going on. One
day an uncle, whom l had not seen
for years, paid us a visit.
Hello, unclep said I, looking
up at him with my mouth opened
like a barn door.
''He looked at me for moment
without answering and then said:
"'Close your mouth, sonny, so T
can see who you are.'
81 took the lesson to my heart
and resolved that from that day I
would not allow my mouth to con-
ceal my identity" Detroit Free

An individual went into second

on a suit of clothes. Putting on a
coat and vest, he pointed up to a
high shelf and said:

reach them down, and while there
the man ran out, still wearing the

dealer, shouting: "stop thief! Stop

New York,s Flower Traffic.

Some idea of the magnitude of
the New York flower trade may be
obtained from the costliness of the
floral decorations on certain notable
occasions. A million dollars is spent
every year in New York on wedding
flowers alone. To decorate church
like st. Bartholomew, even with
marked degree of simplicity, costs
at least $1,000. At Christmas and
Easter the New York churches fair
ly bloom with lilies. One New York
florist raises in his greenhouses 50,-
900 lilies for Easter decorations
alone. At the balls given in New
York the floral decorations are un-
rivaled in the world.
Palms, ferns and the other greens
which are the bases of all decora-
lions are on most occasions supplied
by florists making a speciality of
growing plants for that purpose.
The class of plants fitted for deco
ration are often difficult Of increase
and slow of growth and are there
fore more valuable than the COM
mon plants. They are rarely bought
when used at public dinners or even
private receptions, but are hired for
about half their yalue.-Everybody's

PEARL NECKLACES.
How the Gems Are Matched and Grad.
ed Before Stringing.


Pearls arrive from India and other
parts of the world in small punches,
with silver tassel ends. They are
then handed to the stringer, who
lays them out upon long velvet
covered tray furnished with grooves
of various sizes and depths. The
pearls are then put into the grooves
ready to be matched. Presuming a
rope has to be made of fairly fine
stones, the first thing to be done is
to pick out the largest and finest
pearl and place it alone in one of
the large grooves. This forms the
center of the rope. Then the two
next best pearls of equal color, size
and shape are picked out and placed
one on each side of the center pearl,
then the next two, and so on until
the two ends are reached. They are
then temporarily threaded and, if
no alteration is necessary, strung
again, and the diamond clasp is at
tached.
Every woman who values her
pearls has them restrung at regular
intervals, so that there is little risk
of them being lost.
Curiously enough, this particular
industry has been for generations
in the hands of one family, which, it
is needless to say, is well known
among all who have dealings with
these precious gems, and it is by
this family that SO many of the
beautiful necklaces and collarettes
of pearls are made and fitted so per-
fectly to their fortunate owners

ficials of the city, pieces of cloth,
which in the case of the town clerk
reaches the maximum of twelve
yards. This custom of guilds and
corporations clothing their members
led, it is said, to the origin of the
hveries of the various companies.

W VII OMER DAWSON and Abigail
Jones, the one an old bach
elor and the other an old
maid, had been engaged for
two years when a fatal dis
pute arose one evening. The matter
would not have come up at all had
Homer been devoting his time to tell
ing how happy he would be when mar
ried or had Abigail been blushing as
coyly as became her thirty years, but
on this occasion both were remiss in
their duties. The dispute arose as to
whether a grasshopper could be called
a young frog Abigail contended that
it could, as both were jumpers. Ho-
mer, however, declared to the contrary,
as the grasshopper did not inhabit
ponds and sing to the night. What
began as mild dispute ended in Abb
gal tossing her head angrily and ex-
claiming:
eff a grasshopper is not a young
frog, he is not to blame for it, and any
one who says to the contrary can take
DIS nat anu go nome!
"And l say that grasshopper is no
more young frog than l am" replied
Homer, "and, by hen, I'll get under
my hat and skip"
With that he left Abigal's house, and
pride stepped in to keep them apart.
although both We're sorry enough and
anxious to make up. After eight
months had passed and st. Valentines
day arrived both wished that all frogs
and grasshoppers had been chucked
into the sea. To her great astonish-
ment, Abigail Jones received q valen-
tine. To his great establishment, Ho-
mer Dawson also received one. Both
missives We're libelous caricatures. and
each recipient jumped to the conclu-
sion that the other had sought mean
revenge. Homer was no old bach to
stand an insult in four colors, and Abb
gal was no old maid to be pictured as
toothless and baldheaded. Each start
ed to call on the other and demand an
apology, and as they met half way 1t
was Abigail who shouted at the top of
her voice:
Homer Dawson. you are contempt
ible frog eater"
"And you are human grasshopper!"
he shouted.
1t was give and take for few min
utes. and then Homer Dawson sudden
ly said:
"Say. Abbey, the writing on this
envelope don't look like your'p after
ALL"
"And I can't say that 1t is your'n on
this"
"Then. Abbey. let's make up"
"On one condition only" she replied.
"And that ISL"
"That you admit grasshopper is a
young frog"
"Abigal. my own Abigail, I'll do it!'
exclaimed Homer Dawson. "I'H admit
that a young grasshopper is not only
frog, but that if his hind legs were a
little longer he would make mighty
good kangaroo"
A week later the wedding bells were
pealing, and as Homer proudly walked
up the aisle of the church with the fair
Abigail on his arm he softly whispered
to her:
"By hen, Abigail, young grasshop-
per is frog, toad and a kangaroo to
boot, and | kin lick any six footer in
America who says he isn't"
