ROYAL Splendor Gains In France.

A few years ago, says Paris cor
respondent, no French aristocrat
would have dared venture out in the
streets of Republican Paris with
gaily blazoned carriage, resplendently
harnessed horses. driven by gor-
geously livered powdered coachman,
accompanied by an equally gorgeously
liveried powdered footman, nor would
Monsieur Grevy, when president, have
driven out preceded by gaudily dress
ed piquers in gold-trimmed jackets, .es-
corted by dashing cavalry troops.
Today the smartest of the smart aris-
tocracy have their superbly liveried
powdered men on their carriage boxes,
and Monsieur Loubet drives forth upon
gala occasions in style suggestive Of
a desire for royal splendor.

Devotion of Egyptian Monarch to Hie
Beautiful Wife Is Unusual.
One of the most beautiful of Egyp-
tian women is the khedvah, and those
around the palace never seem to
weary of singing her praises, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press. She
is one of the most devoted of wives.
The khedive is one of the few eastern
rulers who has lived in a genuine love
story with the heroine for his wife.
The peerless Jkbal Hanem is OF the
Circassian race. She was formerly
slave of the vididi (dowager) khedivah,
at whose house the then young ruler OF
Egypt first saw her. AS beauty gives
rank in the Orient, the young slaves
condition did not interfere with her
advancement. She was courted and
won by the dashing young prince, and
finally formally married to him and
raised to the rank of khedivah. The
happy couple model their household
after the European fashion. She
neither paints nor powders her face, as
is the custom Of Egyptian women OF
high rank. She likes European dress
and has European servants and COVER
nesses for her three daughters. She
studies with her children and has an
open, inquiring mind. The khedive
adores his wife and is devoted father.
He has charming manners. an easy,
smooth address, in which there is just
touch of the good fellow. His most
intimate friends always remember that
he is khedive. He is quite stout, the
result, it is said, of his having when
at the cadet school in Vienna initiated
his professors in drinking beer. He is
good looking and intelligent. He has
displayed rare capacity for keeping his
own counsel. The smooth penciling of
brows, eyelids and a certain dreamy
expression give the oriental touch to
his face.

SALVATION STREET-cLEANING
A New Work Taken Up by the Army in Western Cities with Profit
 to Both Sides.

One of the newest achievements of the Salvation Army in the west is in the line of street cleaning. Besides cleaning the streets morally to some extent, the army in several western cities has taken up plain street clean ing. and not only does it well, but makes profit out of it.
 Mayor Hugo, of Duluth, few days ago made a formal proposal to the army that it should undertake the whole work of keeping that city clean, using the unemployed to do the work and taking it's profit out of the sale of rags, paper and street sweepings. The proposal is under consideration and will probably be accepted.
 In Chicago the army has been collect ing the city's rags, waste paper and junk for some time. Last year the wagons of the Chicago branch gath cred up 7so tons of paper, 50, GOO pounds of rags and 5000 pounds of string, and sold the lot at good price.
 Many homeless waifs are employed in this work, and while coming under the good influence of the army thus get chance to earn their food and lodging.

musical gift dates back almost as far as his first birthday. When a mere puppy, before his dog character was formed, Clito gave evidence of an in tense interest in music. He tried hard to follow a tune played on the piano. At first there were frogs in his throat, and his ideas of pitch were usually at odds with the cor rect views on the subject.
 But Clito, under close teaching, persevered with courage that knew no setbacks, and it was not long be- fore he began to distinguish har- mony, and he rapidly developed abi,- ity ito keep the key,' as musicians express it. In some strange way he seems to catch the intention of the composer, and expresses it in the most intelligent way. But C1ito dis likes sacred music. When one of the good, old-fashioned church tunes is played the dog evidences his dis pleasure by a series of discordant growls, mouthing Prof. Triggs. All attempts to influence his mind in fa- vor of religious music have failed.
 Clito is quick to recognize different melodies, and he will sing through an entire selection, never once break ing from the key.

There is in Philadelphia a dog which possesses such a strong, inher- ent passion for music that under the careful direction of an indulgent master it has been taught to sing. It is no ordinary dog that yowls and yelps and produces rakish sounds that are generously called melody. This brute interpreter has mastered grand opera, and prefers above all other selections Norma"
 This curious and talented resident of Philadelphia answers to the class ic name of Clito. His master is Dr. F. H. Griffin, under whose careful in struction Clito has blossomed into a candidate for Mir. Grau's company.
 Clito is beautiful English setter, ten years old, and his precocious
