The Mayor Deeply Grieved by Aid
jones' Action.

jones' Action.
Mayor Ames. just back from West Ba-
den to-day, says he was panied and sur
prised to learn that Alderman D. p.
Jones. president of the council, had so
promptly signed certain ordinances and
resolutions in the mayors absence. The
doctor says it was known he would re-
turn within the time in which the war
rants must be signed and intimates that
Alderman Jones action was discourteous,
1t was not in keeping with the agree
ment made with him not to interfere in
his department during his absence, he
says.
Alderman Jones declares that he acted
in conformity to both inclination and
precedent in so doing. He was told by the
chief Of police last week that the date of
the mayors return was very indefinite
and assumed the task as belonging to the
acting mayor.

TRUSTS IN FORMER DAYS.
In Ancient Times M 9polists Cor
nered Food stun N,nd other

The cornering Of fopdstu ffs by mon.
archs and their agents is daid to have
been the earliest form of trust tina:
ever existed and as theEbahthe power
TO prevent any bear movement IN ~ssa-
position their deals could not help be-
ing successful ones. Accounts of such
transactions are to be found in Assyr-
ian records dating back 1000 or 5000
years; and the Bible describes a very
large operation of this kind carried out
by Joseph, when, out of the wealth Of
the seven fat years, he provided for the
poverty of the seven lean ones. The
Romans did the same thing through
their tax farmers, who laid embargoes
on the food supplies of the provinces
against arrears Of taxes, and the prob
ability is that similar operations were
also conducted with regard to manu-
facturers.
Another form of monopolies, known
as trade guilds, has existed from very
early times, and these, in the middle
ages, amounted practically to the cor
nering of certain arts and industries
as well as means of distribution. The
greatest of them was the famous
league Of the Hanse towns. So close
a combine" was this that it possessed
its own fleets of armed merchantmen
and even armies of mercenaries in or
der to guard its monopoly-a length to
which not even American capitalists
have yet ventured to proceed.

ANECDOTES OF THE SHAH.
His Persian Highness Is Not Entirely
without Sense of
HumOr.

The shah supplies 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 mOIars 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
q playful mood. The toothache had
gone, ard 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 my
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 VI. 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.

PERFUMES AND HEALTH.
ExaenceS THAT soothe and Those
That Irritate, and How They
Are Made.

Pure violet essence is said to be
especially suitable to nervous peo-
pie, but it must be obtained from the
flowers themselves, not from the
chemical limitations. Chemically de-
rived perfumes are irritant, poison
Gus, even, to persons of especially
sensitive constitution. True flower
scents are obtained in three ways
first by spreading fresh blossoms
upon glass thickly smeared with pure
grease, letting them stand in the sun
and as they wilt replacing them I'M
til the grease is as fragrant as the
flowers; second, by repeatedly in
fusing fresh petals in oil. and third
by infusing them in ether. which is
then distilled to dry solid, reports
the Pictorial Magazine.
AS this solid sells for about $500
an ounce, it is easy to understand
why the ether process, though far
away the best, is not commonly used
But the scented grease and the es-
-sences made by sleeping it in pure
spirit are never cheap. After all the
scent possible has been extracted
from the grease it is still fragrant
enough to make the very finest per-
fumed soap. All the citrine scents,
bergamot, nerol, orange flower wa
ter, are refreshing and in a degree
stimulating if properly prepared. To
make a lasting perfume some animal
base is essential-musk, ciyet or am
bergris.

MANY USES FOR ALCOHOL.
Eermany Is ENCOURAGING Ita Apple
cation for Fuel and for Power
Purposes.

The kaiser of Germany is encourage
ing every effort toward the use of al
cohol for lighting, fuel and power
purposes, and under the stimulus OF
prizes offered to inventors and engine
constructors it is being largely util-
lied in various ways. Alcohol is eco
nomically made from a number of
products in Germany, and conse-
quently the supply of it is very large.
At a recent exhibition demonstrating
the use of alcohol there were shown
q number of motors, farming imple-
ments and similar things propelled
by an alcohol flame. There were
also lamps which displayed great eff
cheney. In a report recently made
to Washington, Consul General Guen-
Their writes from Frankfort that the
chief of the fire department OF Han
over has recently invented an alcohol
firing apparatus, used in connection
with ali automobile fire engine,
which is said to be very satisfactory
il practice. The engine is driven TO
t.I scene of the Ere by an alcohol
motor, and while on the way the
steam is gotten up by the new inven-
tion noted above so that the engine
Is ready for operation Immediately
on its arrival on the ground Ordl-
narily it is necessary to keep the en-
CINE constantly fred in order that
.he steam supply may be immediate
iy available. Otherwise much time
Is lost in getting up steam.

CHINESE DUPLICITY,
MOngolians AZ a Rule Have But Little
Regard for the Keeping of
Their Word.

A South Sea islander said of his race,
"As soon as we open our mouths
lie is born" The Chinese acknowl-
edge without shame the same of them
selves. 1t may be true among west
ern nations that "the affairs of life
hinge upon confidence" but in the
east, especially in China, they hinge
upon suspicion. There are few Chi
nese who attach any importance to
keeping an engagement. Most of them
are like the man who, being accused
of breaking his promise, replied that
it was of no consequence, as he could
make another just as good. The Chi
nese say that one should never re-
fuse a request in an abrupt manner;
on the contrary, he should grant ii
in form, although with no intention
to do so in substance. "Put him off
till tomorrow and then until another
tomorrow. Thus you comfort his
heart" they say.

SOME QUEER PEOPLE.
inhabitants of Different Parts OF the
Globe Who Are Unknown to tia
Rest of Humanity.

If a person were confined TO one text
book, the best one to choose would be
dictionary, since it gives an mixing
of every art, science or profession
known to mankind. Astudy of the die
tionary is always interesting and in
structive, and a simple turning of it's
pages will acquaint us with many
things of which we have never pre-
giously heard. Notice what fund OF
information is contained in the follow
ing definitions:
Amphiscians are the people who in
habit the tropics, whose shadows in
one part of the year are cast to the
north and in the other to the south,
according as the sun is north or south
of their zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants
of the earth living on different sides Of
the equator, whose shadows at noon
are cast in contrary directions. Those
living north of the equator are artis-
clans to those living south Of that line,
and vice versa. The shadows on one
side are cast down toward the north
and upon the other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who live
In land where, at certain time OF
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inhabitants of the tor
rid zone are Ascians, they having a
vertical sun twice year.
The PHYSICIANS are the inhabitants
of the polar circle, whose shadows,
during some portion of the summer,
must in the course Of the day move en-
tirely around and fall toward every
point of the compass.

POINTS ABOUT FACES.
Pecuiiayities by Which the PhysiOE-
naInist Recognizes n Persons
Chnracte ristics.

The physiognomist divides the faces
into three so-called grand classes. The
oblong face, the round face and the
pyriform or pear-shaped face. The OH
long face is one which would fit more
readily into an oval than a round or
pear-shaped diagram, says London
Spare Moments.
For mere physical beauty the oblong
or oval face has the highest standing,
and the artists who paint youthful
beauty endeavor to get what is called
the pure oval to the face. individuals
with an oblong or oval face are natur-
ally Of a strong and active nature, with
keen powers of perception and much
imagination. They are self-reliant and
perseyering. They are not, strictly
speaking. highly intellectual, although
they are often talented They are con
slant in friendship and strong in their
affections.
The round face belongs usually to a
subject whose neck is short. shoulders
broad and round, chest full, and in
whom a tendency to stoutness in mid
die life is indicated by the plumpness
of youth.
The round-faced woman very often
has small feet and hands. In character
the round-faced subject is lively, anna
hle, impulsive and frequently tickle.
She lacks persistence and she loves
ease too much to do any serious and
patient plodding. which we all know
is necessary to attain good results.
The pyriform face indicates the in
telIectual type. The woman with the
pear-shaped face has a high, broad
forehead. Her features are generally
delicate and finely modelled. Her neck
is slender; she is tall rather than
short; her chest is not broad-fre-
quently, on the contrary, it is narrow.
She has intelligent eyes, and she never
appears to have great physical endur
ance
