Absurd Fashions,

Some Of the fashions in France dur
Ing the reign of Queen Marie were ex-
ceedingly absurd, particularly hair
dressing and hats, which were trim
med with such an extravagant wealth
Of feathers that the coaches had to
have their seats lowered. According
to Nine. Campan, mothers and hus-
bands murmured, and the general ru-
NOR was that the queen would ruin the
French ladies'"
One day Louis XVI. decided to for
bid the court in body to follow the
royal hunt in coaches. In order to be
freer he wished only to permit real
sportsmen to attend. The noble la
dies Immediately rebelled, and the
Princess of Monaco criticised the deci
sion by means of her headdress, upon
which arose miniature royal coach,
followed by two gentlemen on foot in
CATERS. On the left of this was dis
played cypress garnished with black
tears, the large roots being formed of
Grape.
More absurd still was the hardness
ing of the mother Of Louis Philippe,
upon whose head every one could adj
mire her son, the Due de Beaujolais,
in the arms of his nurse as well as
parrot pecking at cherry.

Names For Farms.

1--WE wish that every farm In Maine
would be named" says the Lewiston
Journal "This Is not mere matter Of
sentiment, by any means, but 1t Is
strictly business.
"The man whose farm IS known by
some name is certain to take greater
interest in it's products and to conduct
all of his operations on a better plan. On
every place there is certain to be some
popularity that will suggest a name.
A Spring of pure water, grove of oak
or maple trees or something else OF a
similar nature will give it local flavor.
Then paint its name on the end OF the
barn facing the road. Let it be where
every passerby cah see it. Your farm
will then soon become known far and
wide and will aid you In thousand
ways.
Besides, how much more dignihed 1t
is to be spoken Of as the proprietor OF
Oak Grove farm than to be alluded TO
as Jim Jones. By all means name your
farms, and it will make you all better
farmers"

The real, actual unit of value In the
United States is the silver quarter.
The dime Is out of place. In the bar
you get two drinks for quarter; you
buy two cigars for quarter One ci-
gar for 10 cents seems plebeian, SO you
take two for a quarter. In the restau-
rant you are ashamed to give the wait
er a 10 cent tip and cannot afford to
give him a quarter. but moral coward
ice drives you to let him have the
quarter. The quarter Is the most beau
tiful silver coin in the world. 1t is Of
the most convenient size. Mix up a
lot Of dimes, nickels and copper cents
in your pocket. and your sense Of touch
balks at distinguishing between them.
You must haul out handful Of "chick-
en- feed" for visual Identification. A
quarter you can tell from anything by
the "feel."-New York Press.

What n Bureau Really Is.

When parchment was used for writ
ipak and when bookbinding was In Its
infancy and bound book was a costly
luxury, it was tine custom to place the
book on a piece Of cloth or strip Of
wool in order to prevent the binding
from possible damage on the rough
wood of the table. Those who had to
deal with money also had a strip Of
cloth on the table or counter so that
the coins should not roll This strip
was called bureau"
In course Of time the custom chang
ed, and the same word was applied to
the writing table covered with green
or other colored cloth and at length de-
scended to the modern table with the
center protected by leather. AS an Of
fee contains one or more Of these ia
bles 1t Is not difficult to understand
that the name should, in one country,
have been given to the room that con-
tanned the bureau.-London Standard.

bred from the eggs Of a blue hen. be-
lleving that this was the best color for
the mother of a gamecock.

The Amateur PHILOSOPHER.

There is a way of looking in another
direction which is much more pointed
than staring.
Everyone feels it an outrage that a
certain Topeka man has to work for q
living. He is so ornamental that he
ought to be painted on a china tea cuD
in a cavaliers costume kissing his hand
to a pretty lady.
A man does not love a woman unless
she is a mystery to him.
A Topeka bachelor gives this formula
for the management of a husband:
Feed him and don't expect too much Of
him.
There never was woman so beauti-
full that she was pretty to every one.
You can start an argument at any time
by saying that any woman is beautiful.
1t would be reasonable to suppose that
woman would learn something OF a
mans nature by experience but the
average woman makes the same mis-
takes with her third lover as she did
with the other two and with her broth
erS and father.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-N. c. Rogers.
a young man who arrived here from
New York yesterday was shot and kill
ed in the yards of the Santa Fe COM
pany early today by Watchman Sulli-
van. Rogers and John Haffner, also of
New York, were sleeping in a box car
when Sullivan came upon them.
Haffner claims that he and Rogers
were awakened by a rain Of blows from
a club in the hands of Sullivan. Half
dazed, they started to run when Sulli-
van fired, killing Rogers. Several bruises
on Haffner's body tend to substantiate
his story of the beating administered
by Sullivan. although this is denied by
the Waterman. Rogers and Haffner ar
rived here yesterday on sightseeing
tour. Rogers, according to Haffner, was
employed by Wells Fargo & Co. in their
New York Office as waybill clerk and
lived in Ninety eighth street in the Fort

MONEY ASSURED.
DIR. Warner Says Fraternal
Building at st. Louis Is o. X.

Denver, Colo, Aug 27-The forenoon
session of the National Fraternal con !.
gress was taken up in hearing reports
of officers and committees. The presi-
dent, DR.. Warner, announced that as
surances have been received from indi-
vidual fraternities which practically
guarantee 100000 for a fraternal build :
ing at the worlds fair in st. Louis. and
that from present prospects there is no
doubt the full amount of 100000. esti-
mated to be necessary to erect, equip
and maintain the building, will be
raised.
Oficers were elected as follows:
National Fraterna1 Press association
President. E. l. Wood. Flint. Mich:
vice president. E. M. Haag, Philadel-
phia; secretary-treasurer. N. E. Steven
son, Chicago.
Medical section-Chairman, Dr. Ira
Porter, Omaha: vice chairman, DIR. F.
N. Smith, GAINESVILLE, O.; secretary, Dr.
E. D. Cook, Detroit, Mich.
The annual report of President Ed L.
Young of the National Fraternal Press
associa ton was largely devoted to the
action of Third Assistant Postmaster
General Madden in excluding fraterna1
from the mails as second class matter
Many speeches were made denouncing
this construction of the law.
The medical section of the congress
was called to order by President M. r.
Brown. M. D., of Chicago. Interesting
among the papers read was one by DR..
Q. Willard. of the Knights of the Loyal
Guard. of Flint. Mich. on Mortality
and its Costs" He reported the Ma
tional Fraternal congress experience
table to show death rate at 40 years OF
1873 per cent, starting with 100, 900 lives
at 20 years. AS to this table DR.. Willard
said:
Il am constrained to call the atten-
ton of this body to the fact that our
table shows at the age of 40 that the
mortality has increased about 8 per
cent over that of tables that have been
standard anywhere in the United States
or Canada. except in tropical expert
ence, for long time
DR.. Willard suggested as a probable
cause 1.-The hustle and lodge system
with the desire to increase membership,
at the same time the payment by the
fraternal societies of about one-thiro
that paid by old companies to their
medical examiners for a like amount
of work. DR.. Willard closed with an
elaborate and carefully prepared table
of the costs of mortality.
j. G. johnson, of Peabody Kas,
president of the law section, made many
valuable suggestions in his annual re-.
port on legal questions affecting fra
ternal societies.

FOR SMALL INVESTORS.
Some Of New City Bonds VIII
Be In 500 Denomination.

Small investors-persons with one or
two hundred dollars which they desire
to put in a safe place-are creating
quite a demand for Topeka improvement
bonds OF small denominations, and to
cater to this demand to some extent,
the State Savings bank, whiQb purchased
the last lot of $66, 1925 worth of the
bonds, has made arrangements to have
a portion of them issued In denomina-
lions of $780,
There is considerable additional ex-
pense involved in issuing the bonds in
small denominations. but this addi-
stand The ordinance providing for the
issuance of the bonds is nov being
drawn up by the city attorneys Office,
and will be presented at the next ccun-
ell meeting on September 2.
The usual denomination for the i'm
provement bonds is $1,000. They bear
per cent interest, and are doubly pro-
tected. They are secured both by the
credit of the city and by lien on the
property taxed for the pavement The
only disadvantage to small investors is
the fact that they mature in ten an
nual payments, SO the investment is
constantly growing smaller, and the in
weston is getting his money back in
small amounts which can not be con-
veniently reinvested. The interest on a
500 improvement bond is about IS the
first year, and decreases so cents each
year until the bond is paid out.
The bond ordinance which is being
drawn up shows that this year the city
of Topeka has contracted for 1922 IS
worth of pavement Bonds to exactly
this amount will be issued, and the en-
tire issue has already been sold to the
State Savings bank The bonds were
sold in two installments, the first in
stallment being to pay for pavement
laid early in the season. The first in
stallment of bonds was for $42, 1863. 13 and
the second for $66, 1925.
This amount of money will pay for
about 43 blocks of pavement. 1t is
about an average years work. Compar-
is much smaller, but last year was an
extraordinary year for pavement. even
in Topeka. The average for the past
four years is $118. 510.33 per year.
The total amount spent on paving for
the past four years is as follows:
