LIKES FRIED
GsaEd Duke Alexis Does Net Care for
NOtoriety, However.

NVtVAASly1 hVWONOAs
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is
very fond Of fried potatoes, and dur
Lii his recent visit to Paris he was
wont to buy a few every day from
aHonan IN the street and to eat them
beside her stall, says the Boston
Globe.
The woman did not know him, but
n he paid her in princely fashion
she was very anxious to find out who
he was.
Il can tell you who he is" said a
neighbor one day. "He is Grand
Duke Alexis, uncle Of the car, and
one Of the greatest men in Russia"
Utterly amazed, the woman asked:
"In Heavens name, how should l
address him?"
20, call him Your Excellency, or
Ysur Royal Highness,' was the an
swer.
The woman resolved to do so, and
the next day, as she was sprinkliAg
ssuas salt over the smoking potatoes
which the grand duke had bought,
uAs sand: 81 can recommend themt to
var royal highness, for l know your
~excellency has never tasted better
potatoes"
The grand duke burst out laugh
ing and paid more for the potatoe:
than he had ever paid before, but he
was annoyed at finding himself rec,
ognized and never returned to buy
another potato.

Five families had successfully vol
wiseEed to provide a home for the
liAls Slum" girl, and the fifth had
just sent her back to the arms Of the
bensYOlent organization which had
charge Of her, says the New York
Pest. According to the reports from
these families, she was not only an
iHhnt fury. but a mendscious sneak,
and the agent who was taking her
baek to the city felt discouraged at
the prospect of having to misrepre-
sent in order to make a sixth family
take her.
A big, broad-iawed man, friendly
with the spirit of the west, sat down
beside him. Needing some one to
share his troubles, the agent toldhim
the whole story.
"I'l take that little girl" said the
stranger. The agent gasped.
"You know I told you what a ter
ror she is" he said.

FROM ESKIMO N
A Wounded Goose Wings Its Way to
American Soil.

A Wounded Goose Wings Its Way to
American Soil.
WA geese and brants are known
b travel, during the migratory sea-
ma, very far south. Recently a
large wild goose was killed not far
from Spokane City, Wash, which had
evidently winged its way from the
remote Eskimo lands. When the
hunter picked up the bird he was
surprised to observe a slender piece
q livery protruding from its breast
Just below one Of its wings. With
Ruch difficulty he succeeded in pull
ing out the piece, for the flesh had
grown tightly around it. 1t proved
- Ne an arrowhead, about eight
Ansh@ long, which had some queer
carvings on the stem where it had
been fastened to the shaft. The
carvings were delicate, though quite
distinct. On a careful inspection by
Kkadike miners the carvings we're
psonounced to be Of Eskimo origin.
NS srrowpoint Of that kind was ever
kaown to have been used by the In
&ans Of Washington or British Co.
lwmbia. The head was Of fne ivory,
no doubt carved from a walrus tusk,
Eridsntly the goose had been shot
BIZ an Eskimo hunter in the arctic
rAgions, the wound had healed, the
Assh had grown around the weapon,
and in its long flight the bird had nc
&subt broken off the arrowshaft.-

COTTON WhDz F1RR-pRooE.
A Valuable PROCESS Which Aasarsl ~

munily fron Buizns
A valuable discovery Of far-reach-
ing Importance to the cotton msIV-
featuring industry has been made BY
Dr.. W. Il. Perkins, Of the 0vsEs
college, Manchester, whereby cOttez
and other similar highly
materials can be rendered pezina-
nently freproof. IKE discovery,
says the Scientific American, hes
been achieved after 9Re0 expcxi-
ments extending over many msRthO
With the exception Of explosives,
there is no article that flares up SO
quickly as cotton when it comes into
contact with a light, especially in
those particular goods which are
made of heavy yarns and "combed
out" on both sides in order to give
the appearance Of flannel. The fire.
proofng process consists Of "asbes-
timing the fabric, by which means
permanent immunity from burning
is assured, but the exact manner in
which it is achieved Is not divulged.
In order to realize the full impor-
lance of the discovery, it should be
understood that ~asbeStine fabrics"
can be washed and washed, and yet
retain their non-ignitablO quality.
From this it viii be seen that the pro-
cess is not hat Of merely putting
upon the material q chamieal MaS
for the time being renders the fab
RE non-infammable, but rather that,
as in the case Of "nsrceridng," N
very character Of the material il
changed. From the scientific point
Of view much interest attaches To
this feature. Already inquiries are
coming from Germany as to the
process, for in Europe these highly
inhammable cotton goods are largely
produced. 1t should be added thai
"asbestined" cloths are perfectly by.
gienic, and car be safely worn Han
to the skin.

UPHELD DECISION FOR DUSS.
C:::::tcd States Supreme Court Affirmed
Circuit Court Opinion In Econ
oEly Society Case.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Justice Nc
Kenna yesterday delivered the opin'
ion of the supreme court In the case
Of Christian Schwartz and others rs
John S. Duss, involving the properly
held by the Harmony COOPERATIVE
society, Pennsylvania. Schwartz and
his associates claim to be descend
ants of former members OF fShe so
ciety and brought the suit for the
purpose Of securing a distribution o.
the society's property, alleging that
the organization has ceased to exist;
that there are now only eight persons
who pretend to be members OF the
society, and that they are either ola
men or women, ana that the manage
ment Of the property, which amounts
in the aggregate to about $4,OOO,OOO
IN value. is in the hands Of Mr.. Ouss,
the senior trustee, and that he Is rap
idly wrecking the property. The
court decided that Schwartz and his
associates have not such a proprie-
tarv interest in the property as would
entitle them, upon the dissolution of
the society, to a share IN the assets.
Justice McKenna said: 1T was pro-
vided by the articles OF agreement
that the member who withdrew from
the society could make no demand
against it as a matter CT right. The
member who died left no right to his
representatives. It needs no argu-
ment to show mat as such members
had no rights they would transmit
none to the petitioners in this case
The opinion affirmed the judgment
Of the circuit court Of appeals for the
third circuit. Mr.. Duss, who is the
defendant in the case, is the well
known bandmaster.
The chief justice and Justice
Brewer united in a dissenting opin-
ion, holding that the court should
have taken up a second question in
the case, namely, whether the society
had been dissolved. in which case
they held there should be division
of the property, and the standing O.;
the petitioners then decided.
