Premier saIfotr's MiIdness.

Mr.. Balfour,' prime minister Of Great

Even on his favorite golf links at
North BERWICK or St. Andrews the
strongest expletive that has ever come
from the lips is said to be Dear mel"
Arriving after dark at large railway
station one day Mr.. Balfour set his
travelling bag down on bench while
he went to make a purchase at a
bookstall. On returning to the bench
he took up his bag and made the
unpleasant discovery that during his
absence the bottom had been cut out
and the contents adroitly distracted.
Dear mel" exclaimed the statesman,
with a melancholy smile. cit is evi.

wrong about this bag"

A Sincere Compliment.

Richard Mansfield has. like many
other men, host of enemies. One
of these enemies paid him a very
sincere compliment last year.
Mr.. Mansfield was playing in Beau
caire." and the enemy, a stage carpen-
ter. peered at him from the wings OF
Cleveland theater. scornfully at
first, but gradually less scornfully.
, And, as the act progressed, the car.
penter, though he hated the actor, be-
came more and more absorbed. He
stood silent and rigid. He watched
every gesture. he observed every in.
tonation Of the star. And finally
when the curtain fell, he exclaimed
with flushed cheeks and little tremor
in his voice:
Darn him, that man could act a
gridiron."

FEW CHANGES IN FASHION.
Costumes Worn by Chinese Women
Seldom Vary,

Chinese ladies never rejoice in the
dainty fashions OF pretty cottons, as
their European sisters do, but year in
year out they are attired in silk, for
cotton is Of no account in the Celestial
Empire, being considered only fit for
the coolies, who dress in it entirely.
Chinese dress does not call for any
great ingenuity on the part of the
makers, for in form it is always the
same. A lady's first garment is a
plain piece of silk fastened round the
waist to form an apron, which laps
over at the back. In the place of
this poor women wear sort of cot
ton front" which covers the chest.
but has no back. Next come the un-
derjacket and the overjacket, the
trousers the apron and the footgear.
The last consists Of bandages and tiny
shoes for the little footed" or cot
ton boot" and shoes of sensible size
for the uncrippled peasant woman.
In cold weather the number of
Jackets worn is increased. the heaviest
being outermost, which is padded and
quilted or fur lined. For outdoor wear
a sleeveless overjacket, known as a
front and back" is used.-WashinS-
ton Star.

As to Precedents,

Before an lola justice of the peace
the other day man was Nried on
the charge of stealing hogs. After the
evidence was in his attorney pleaded
that his client had stolen pigs. not
hogs, and asked that he be discharged.
In support Of this contention he cited
a Supreme court decision which re-
leased a man who was charged with
stealing a stallion when it was shown
that the horse was gelding. The
Judge took down Webster's dictionary
and read that a pig is hog. He said
II the Supreme court thought a pig
wasn't a hog 1t could decide so on
appeal. For my part" he said. I'm
going to stand by old Noah. kansas
