The inconvenience of the similarity
between gentleman's evening dress
and the attire of waiter has re-
ceived yet another instance. Mr..
Choate, the American ambassador,
was the victim on this occasion. AT
the state banquet to the king at the
Guild hall, the American ambassador
was one of the few men in evening
dress, nearly everyone being in court
or municipal uniform. He was inter.
ested in the pulpit arrangements in
which the carving was done, and ven.
tured to ask one of the function.

MARTYRS TO VANITY.
40 Give Their Faces am
Attractive PaIlox.

Modern martyrs to vanity are
Northumbrian women. The acquisi-
tion of the pale, ethereal complexion
so much admired by their men leads
them to the practice of form OF
beauty culture which has lately re-
suited in the death of Jane Mold. who
succumbed the other day to an ill
ness induced by the habitual con-
sumption of raw starch and uncooked
rice, says Black and White.
1t is well-known practice in the
north, and hundreds of women who
work in the fields have the white
magnolia complexion resulting from
this treatment.
The Northumbrian women have an
other aid to beauty in the shape of
'ugles'-a variety of large, cotton
scoop bonnet made on wbalebones
like an umbrella. This they wear as
a protection from the sun and wind
when working out of doors in the hot
sun.
Most of these pallid females, if one
goes up close to them, are observed
to be nibbling starch. thus preserv.
ing this doubtful advantage of com
plexion by inward and outward pre-
cautions.
"No uncooked rice" once appeared
in doctors dietary prescribed for
an ailing north-country servant. puz-

she was enlightened as to the habits

MORE THAN FIVE SENSES.
The Number Possessed by Man Ex-
ceeded by Those of the Lower
Animals.

Many of our scientists, until quite
recently have been reluctant to admit
that number of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than
ours. So much new and undeniably
afiirmatory evidence is. however, now
being offered on this point. that
there can be no longer any substan-
tial reason for doubling that the five
senses man imSerfectly exercises are
by no means all that are possible to
sentient creatures, says the Scientific
American.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to greater or
loss degree almost universally pres
ent in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish
and insects, is what perhaps may be
called the sense of localization. 1t
enables its possessor, apparently by
its sole use, to find desired spot 1t
is evidently closely connected with an
instructive and perfect memory Of
distance and direction. That the
homing pigeon exercises it to some
extent, though undoubtedly aided by
the landmarks it recognizes, is in
disputable; that the honey bee has
it in its fullness and perfection can
not after the careful experiments of
Albrecht Bethe in Germany be
doubted.
Examples of insects that possess
an &-ray sense, not only among Eu-
ropean but our own hymenoptera,
can be multiplied indefinitely. Only
one or two of the senses peculiar to
the lower animals are here noticed.
Lubbock suggests that "there may be
so of them"

Mr.. D. P. Daugherty, well
known throughout Mercer and
Sumner counties, w. Va, most
likely owes his life to the kind
ness of neighbor. He was al

A Light Under a Bushel.

The town OF Phoebus, Va, deplores
through the editorial columns of its
newspaper, "The Sentinel" the fact that
while having all the natural advantages
of a fourishing business center, its repu,
tation is so smothered under the cloud OF
the liquor traffic that the stranger can
see only saloons. Admitting that forty
dramshops are in the town by the con-
sent of its population of two thousand
inhabitants, the point is urged that no
commercial development can be possible
while conditions class the town with the
lowest resorts Of the country. The edi-
tor confesses to having vainly endeavor-
ed for the past five years to secure bus
mess enterprises and to having seen them
go elsewhere because the parties interest
ed were not willing to bring their fam
lilies to such a place This instance is
only type OF cases innumerable. True
prosperity goes hand in hand with in
tegrity. The light that is under the
bushel leaves every one in darkness
