PEOPLE fifth a PURPOSE.

There are some pretty serious people
in this world. Among them are those
who are publishing in Edinburgh the
Crois Tara, which is Gaelic for the
Fiery Cross. 1t is intensely Jacobite,
and it plainly proclaims that it's single
purpose is to restore the Stuarts to the
throne of Great Britain, and make good
the robbery by George I. after the
death of Anne in 1714. Incidental and
preparatory to that it wants a few
other matters righted. Here are some

A relic-the pale blue vest of Charles
Twas recently exhibited at the United
Service museum in London. The gen.
uineness of the relic is we'll authenti-
Gated. 1t was worn by the king on the
scaffold and came into the possession of
his physician, DR.. Hobbs. From the
doctor it passed to his daughter, and
by her marriage came into the possess
sion of Temple Hardy, who at his death
left 1t to Admiral d'Aeth. In 1898 the
vest was sold at auction for $1,000 to E
Brocklehurst and last year was again
sold for the same sum to Berney F'inck-
lin. Besides this vest two shirts were
worn by Charles I. on the fatal morn
ing. It being q severe frost, the king
said to Sir Thomas Herbert, groom of
the chamber: Let me have a shirt on
more than ordinary, by reason the sea-
son is so sharp as probably may make
me shake, which some observers might
imagine proceeds from fear" One of
these shirts was shown at the Hudder-
field Fine Art and Industrial exhibition
In 1883. 1t was of fine holland, beauti-
fully embroidered in open work, both
around the neck and at the lower part
of the sleeves. The other shirt is pre-

DR.. C. T. Fletcher of Indianapolis is
just back from ST. Pierre with big
collection of photographs. ''Desolation
reigns there" he says. "It is that COM
nlete desefation that settles down and
becomes oppressive in the wake of
destruction that sweeps every living
thing before it. Here and there blades
of tropical grass, nurtured by the
moist atmosphere, are creeping out of
the ruins of the buried city. Solitary
French guards pace their beats in the
day time. That is all. Even the air
over st. Pierre carries no bird life
What contrast to the ST. Pierre I Wis
tied two years ago-a fairy city, full
of carnival life and merry revelers.''

LOST PRIVILEGES OF STARS.
Rights and Liberties Of
Former Tines.

Stars Of the new school DO not at
tempt 10 deceive even themselves as to
the difference between their rights and
privileges now and those Of q star Is
years ago, or even ten years ago, says the
New York Sun.
The position Of the star was very DIFF
fsrsnt then. The star does not know
nowadays IN what play he IL to act IN
I'll the manager gives It TO him in the
fall he may have q part not In the
least suited to him, but he cannot help
that In case the manager has decreed
that he must ACT It
Then there are very few stars now
adays who can give out seats and boxes
20 any extent. In the old days the star
could present half the house to his
friends, II he wanted to, because he was
the whole thing. But nowadays thsav-
erage star has TO ask his manager for
seats, and doesn't always get them
Nor do the young stars Of the day
have the right TO bring friends into the
dressing room as those Of the old times
could. The younger brood must follow
the rules Of the theater Just like the
other actors. Thus have the privileges
Of the star been curtailed.

WHAT AMADoU Is.
Used Before Matches wers
Invented.

"Amadou" Is rarely heard Of nova
days. A hundred years ago, however, It
was q great article Of export from the
continent Of Europe to this country.
From France alone England used to buy
100000 worth yearly, says Stray Sto-
ries.
Amadou Is merely the spongy tissue
Of certain fungi which grow on the oak,
horse chestnut, poplar, pear and willow,
and from which the touchWood used
In the days OF flint and steel was pre-
pared. When matches were invented
It seemed as II ''amadou" Rs IN article
Of commerce was doomed.
That there is still considerable trade
in this substance Is due to the efforts
Of German who invented g process for
converting It into q material resem-
bling ehamois leather, and Of which
caps and cleaning cloths can be made.
Another use found for "amadou" n
that Of stanehing blood.
The latest fungus invention n q
razor strop made from one Of the tough
tree fungi found IN England. There Is
indeed no substance from skim milk to
bad eggs and from human hair to old
lobster shells, with which the inventor
does not experiment, and usually sue
cseds IN the long run In turning to good
account

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.
Ella Tree Growing Out OF TIE Trunk
Of . Huge Poplar Found In
Indiana.

A freak Of nature has been found by
Workmen who were cutting timber a
short time ago on a'large tract near
Benham, Ind. The tract belongs to
Isaac +. King and the freak is the inter
growth Of two kinds Of timber, says q
local report.
A young, thrifty poplar tree, some Is
inches in diameter, has, as viewed from
4 short distance, apparently what Il an
elm limb Of nearly half its own girth
growing from the trunk about eight feet
from the ground. A careful eEamina-
ton Of the base Of the tree reveals elm
roots and the body Of the elm springs
directly from the body Of the poplar.
A slight ridge In the poplar trunk,
which winds from the elm roots to the
point from which the elm leaves It,
-hoWs how much more vigorous its
growth has been than that Of its COM
panion tree and for some feet the pop
lar has completely swallowed the elm.
About 20 feet higher the two seem to
have become attached again and In
time may form another combine. The
poplar has attained a height Of about
100 feet and the elm is somewhat short
er. Just how It Is possible for the elm
tree to thrive, IN spite Of the fact that
It has been eneased BY the poplar for
many years, Is not clear.

winter she lives In New York; In sum
mer she follows her charges 70 q IA
nous and fashionable seaside resort.
She Il paid by the hour to come to the
house OF Fido's adoring mistress and
broaden Fido's mental horizon and de-
velop his latent genius. She teaches the
dear little fellow to SIT up and bark and
sneeze and beg for sugar plums; to turn
somersaults; to shake hands and faint,
and otherwise prove his claim 70 an In
teilect Of no mean order.
Furthermore, the goVernsss takes
Fido walking every day. His mistress
is often too busy or too tired to accom-
pany him during his hours Of exercise
She does not trust her servants with
the duty Of serving as his escort, so the
governess Is paid to accompany the
little dear during his walks abroad. Her
business Is to keep him amused and
guard him from low company.
Last winter the governess tutored
more than 80 dogs. At q certain hour
every morning she takes ten or u pro-
teges out on their Ieashes. She keeps
the peace among them, sees that they
have good scamper and a roll on clean
grass, teaches them to swim, fetch and
carry, and guards against their con-
tact with ours that might infect them
with mango, distemper or rabies.

doubtedly the keenest weapon against

It was good old Izaak Walton who
said: Every misery that miss is q
new mercy"-a saying worthy Of the
profoundest philosopher. Il is only
too true that evils come to US on

and yet most people are ready to meet
calamities half way, and thus 10 In
directly welcome them. There Is
scarcely an eYil in life that we cannot

made to end in death by the brooding
apprehension Of the sick; while, on
the other hand, a mind accustomed to
look upon the bright side Of all things
win repel the dampness Of care by its
genial sunshine. A cheerful heart
paints the world as 1t sees it-like q
sunny landscape. The morbid mind
depicts it like a sterile wilderness, and
thus life, like the chameleon, takes its
hue Of light or shade from the object
upon which II rests.
The world Is almost universally q
mirror, which reflects back to us the
picture Of the substance we present to
its surface, showing us the aspect Of
our own breasts, either tranquil or
troubled, as the case may be. II the
eye Is Jaundiced, the landscape viii be
robbed Of its beauty, and our own
morbid spirit will turn fertile fields
into sterile plains. One Of the grand
secrets Of this life, as It regards our
own happiness, is 70 learn 70 accom-
modate ourselves to circumstances,
not grumbling at every mischanee, but
pleasantly putting the best aspect up,
whatever may happen.
Open, unrestrained merriment Is a
safety-valve to the heart, carrying on
the noxious vapOrs Of care and unhap-
piness. It is the part Of the true phil
osopher to Jest as well as to preach,
