Artificial Calves.

I see 1t is announced in the papers that
the French manufacturers of sham calves

from England in view Of the coronation

there are many excellent manufacturers of

toners were ladies who have to show their
legs at theaters. His manner of procedure
was this: He put on the legs to be treated

woven into the stuff itself, and thus defied
detection. Calves, he told me. are often
in the wrong place. Either they are too
high or too low. also learned from this
specialist that a common failing IL thick

creasing the girth OF the leg above the
ankle.
But theatrical ladies were by no means

In the Queens Album.

Greece to which many royal personages
have contributed Some Of the opinions
expressed in the book are decidedly anus

of happiness?" the King of Greece replied:
Always to have a sovereign without
crown" The King Of Sweden was asked
what was his conception Of real unhappi-
ness, and answered that he could think
Of nothing worse than tight shoes, corn
and heavy foot on It, When Edward VII
was requested to reveal the person against
whom he bore the greatest grudge, he an

gave different answer to this query, and
said he could think of no person whom he
disliked more than the man whose Gus
tomary greeting was: Good heavens. how
old you do look!' The Empress of Russia
answered the same question as follows:
FOR me there Is no person more disagree
able than the woman who considers her
children the healthiest in the world and
who looks upon other children as being

Counterfeiters.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
There Is nothing which Uncle Sam pro-
tects with greater care than his currency.
Because Uncle Sans money is good there
are always people ready to counterfeit 1t,
and for these people Uncle Sam has spe-
cial body of secret service detectives al
ways the watch. The most dangerous
counterfeits are those which most closely
initiate the original, and to arrest the
makers of dangerous cOunterfeits the
United States spares efforts and no ex-
pense. 1t seems a pity that the United
States government could not extend its sur
yeillance of counterfeiters to those who
counterfeit wholesome foods, reliable medi-
cines and other articles necessary to the
health Of the public.

A GREAT QUARTET.
Marconi, Rontgen, Edison and Car
negie Worlds Benefactors.

From London Truth.
- The four great test men Of today are Mar
conf, Rontgen, Edison and Carnegie. Cele-
brated statesmen and distinguished soldiers
generally do more harm than good. The
foremost benefactors Of the race have been
those who fought against abuse, supersti-
ton, ignorance or disease, or have dfscov-
cred the means of adding to the resources
of mankind Which will have done more
for humanity, Marconi With his wireless
biography or Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain with
his spirited policy?' Will the good effects
of the war in South Africa be as consider
able as the results of the discovery Of the
X-rays? Would 1t not be wise to make
less of statesmen and soldiers and more of
the men Of science than we do?
THE Use and Abuse of Millions" would
be an excellent theme for an article. The
forthcoming millionaire" will have a
unique opportunity for improving the con-
dition of man. He will be able to provide
those large sums for public purposes which
the state cannot. He could erect and en-
dow hospitals. present museums and pub
lie parks, establish free libraries-he could,
in fact. reform, enlighten, educate the COM
munty over the heads of the legislature.
The artistocratic millionaire of the past
generally strove to build up for himself, to
strengthen the social position of his family,
and. to do that, spent his money in accu-
mulat1ng land and treasure, and In brlcks
and mortar. The commercial millionaire
is frequently radical and philanthropist
and aims at assisting and raising those who
belong to the class in which he WAS bred
Three or four ''billionaires' could do more
in a few years to moderniZe England than
parliament will in a century.

The British Schoolboy on Animals.

From the Westminster Gazette
A correspondent who offered prizes in
oiHerent schools for essays on kindness 20
animals sends US few extracts from the
papers received:
Ihere are two kinds of animals and
they are the quadruped and byped; the
quadruped is lions and tigers and such like,
and the byped is birds"
Some people kick the poor dog and give
it no food. Then the poor animal bites the
first person it comes to. and this causes tba
person to have idiphobery, and the animal
gets killed. This is all through the people
giving the animal nothing to eat

Polinsky.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The foreigners up in the coal regions
drink pOlinsky, and that's why so many
stories of horrible crimes come from there
Polinsky is at the bottom of every riot and
much murder. 1t is simply a mixture of
beer and bad whisky, usually blended in a
washtub, and seasoned with Spices At
every wedding, christening, wake or other
gathering of a social nature there is al
ways tub Of polinsky. In one hour all
hands will be drunk; in two hours there
will be a free fight, and, unless the police
interfere, in three hours there will be a
murder. In the more thickly populated
communities the police try to break up
these polinsky parties in their incipient
stages, but they don't always succeed

the former. We don't want too many
