A RIOT IN TITLES.
Elaborate Classification Of Rank
That Rules In Denmark.

Thaf huleS An denmark.
The Danish classification of rank is
very elaborate one, built up of Of.
fees, orders, birth and titles, writes j i,
Brochner in Danish Life In Town and
Country" There are nine classes,
which are divided into as many as q.
dozen subsections, each of which may
again comprise a score or two of diff
ferent titles and offices, yet there was a
complaint in one of the Danish papers
the other day that it was anything but
complete
Holders of titles have to pay an an
nual tax ranging from S44.5O in the
first class to a miserly 1888 in the
ninth. There are about score OF diff
ferent titles, several Of which are again
divided into real and Others the
"reaT' being several shades better than
the Others"
These titles are always used in con-
yersatiOn as, for example, will not
the chamberlain have a cigar?' or
"Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have
cigar?' And it requires a fairly
clear head and a good memory to give
everybody his due in large party
especially as some of them are deco
rously long, as, for instance, geheime-
conferentsraad
Then there are ladies, who generally
have 'sinde'' (the English 'ess') added
to their husbands title or office. a,
colonePs wife, for instance, is called
oberstinde, and the wife of the cham
berlain to the king kammerherreinde,
and SO forth.
But the subtleties of the additional
titular address in writing even excel
the verbal form. That persons of the
first rank are "excellencies'' is only
natural, but gentlemen of the second
class have on documents addressed to
them a ''high well BORN prefiXed to
their title and name, and those of the
third class a "high and we'll born"
much regret that I cannot explain why
the addition of this "and' should
somewhat detract from the value Of
the same words.
Gentlemen of the ninth class are adj
dressed as "well honorable and well
bred" which is, think, almost more
than they could expect for their 1888.

kpREA'S SEVEN WONDERS
The Most Peculiar of Them Is the
Famous Floating Stone.

Korea, like the world of the ahcients,
has it's "seven wonders" Briefly
stated, they are as follows: First hot
mineral spring near Kinshantao, the
healing properties OF which are be-
lieved to be miraculous. No matter
what disease may aftiict the patient, a
dip in the water proves efficacious.
The second wonder is two springs
situated at considerable distance
from each other. in fact, they have
the breadth of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
files. When one is full the other is
empty, and Notwithstanding the OBJ
vious fact that they are connected by
a subterranean passage one is of the
bttterest bitter and the other pure
sweet
The third wonder is Cold Wind cave,
a cavern from which a wintry wind
perpetually blows. The force of wind
from the cave is such that a strong
man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated is
the fourth wonder No matter what
injury is done the roots of the trees,
which are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the phenix from
its ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful OF
all. 1t is the famous floating stone"
It stands, or seems to stand, in front of
the palace erected in it's honor. 1t is
an irregular cube of great bulk. 1t ap-
pears to be resting on the ground, free
from support on all sides; but strange
to say, two men at opposite ends OF a
rope may pass it under the stone with
out encountering any obstacle what
ever!
The sixth wonder is the shot stone
which from remote ages has lain glow
ing with heat on the top of high hill.
The seventh and last Korean wonder
is a drop of the sweat of Buddha. For
thirty PAGES around the large temple
in which it is enshrined not a blade of
grass will grow. There are no trees
or flowers inside the sacred square.
Even the animals decline to profane a
spot SO holy.

STYLE in lTYPEWRlTING.
Points by Which Each Operators
Work May BE Identified.

Points by which Each Operators
Work May BE Identified.
It will come as a surprise to many
people to know that there is great
deal of character in typewriting. Were
half dozen operators to use the same
machine, paper and actual words, each
printing off a dozen sheets, and were
all these to be mixed up indiscriminate-
", a practiced eye could distinguish
each operators work instantly.
In a recent law case, where a lengthy
typewriter document of many sheets
was in question, it was alleged that
one of the papers included had been
substituted for another sheet. Although
to casual eye all the sheets seemed to
be the work of one hand, experts
showed that the spacing was quite diff
ferent, especially between the end OF
one sentence and the beginning of an
other. and on the substituted sheet the
new paragraphs began in quite differ
ent position on the lines, and the let
tiers were shaky instead of upright and
firm, and the punctuation-the crucial
test-was wholly different.
The experts were unable to trace the
person who had done the bogus type
writing, but they agreed that it was a
young woman and only beginner at
typewriting; that she was nervous, not
very strong, and that her education
was only moderately good.
The writer of the other sheets COM
prising the document was defined, from
the evenness, correctness and frmness
Of the typewriting, to be an expert
enced operator.

cred as an indication Of health, espe-

A COMPLIMENT FOR A FORMER
 MISSOURIAN.

''In my judgment Washington has the most efficient chief of police of any city in the United States" said a stalwart looking citizen of Cincinnati. wearing loyal legion button in his lapel, at the Arlington. It was no other than Col onel Paul M. Millikin. the chief of po- lice in that municipality.
 "I have come here" Colonel Millikin added. "to look over the police force of Washington, just as I have been doing in New York, for the purpose of getting new ideas for our own organization. We have new code which goes into effect soon in Cincinnati. and with the inauguration of it's provisions will be some changes in our police force. l have been much pleased with the force here, which is organized in many par ticulars like our own.
 Chief Millikin expressed himself Us particularly pleased with Mayor Syl- vester's system of shifting the men and the hours of work and leisure assigned the men. In this respect. he says, Washington is far ahead of New York. He was also much pleased with the office methods employed by Major Sylvester. and expressed a desire for copies of the various official papers, with a view of studying the Washing ton system at his leisure.-Washingto Post

THE FRAUDULENT HAM SAND
 WICH.

The common ham sandwich of com- merce has been under suspicion ever since the first railway lunch counter was established. The conviction that this peregrinating handout is a fraud has been quite general for years. Oc- casionally some one utters a feeble protest when he gets a couple of large porous buns glued together with ole omargarine, but which are entirely in- nocent of ham. He pipes his timorous plaint only to be crushed by the inn perious autocrat of the lunch counter, and he soon finds himself meekly munching two dry and doughy hemis- pheres of the vintage of 76.
 But the hamless nomadic sandwich is not going to have such easy sailing all ways. The man who eats ham sand wiches is growing bolder. He is evinc- ing a tendency to insist that when he pays for a ham sandwich he shall get a ham sandwich. and when the ham sandwich is not forthcoming he is apt to emphasize his vociferous protesta- tions by making what is popularly known as a rough house." This is what James McGowan did with a lunch wagon on the west side on Sunday morning. James is farmer, and brides himself on being something of an ex- pert when 1t comes to ham sandwiches. He contemptuously refused the sand wich that was offered him, declaring that the bread in it was baked when Chicago was flag station" By way of emphasizing his protest he smashed in all the windows of the lunch wagon.
 Of course James had to go to jail, but this need not discourage him. He has started a movement that will gather force as it goes, and the time may come when a man who calls for a ham sandwich will be sure of getting something besides stale mustard and antediluvian bread.-Chicago Record Herald.

SEEKING PERPETUAL YOUTH
The Trip of the Too-Old at-FoIty Man
 to the Modern Beauty Doctor.

Jn spite of the teachings of philoso- phers, men and women have from time immemorial dreaded the approach of old age. This natural vanity has given the opportunity tor multitudinous quacks to arise, who by boldly pro- claiming that they could render their clients both youthful and beautiful for ever, amassed large fortunes through the credulity of their votaries.
 London was invaded by a large num- Der of these professional beautifiers at the period of the downfall of the second empire, and the methods of some of them caused their speedy acquaintance with the English police courts Gen erally, speaking, they relied upon such methods to work their wonders that ultimately the skins of their unfortun- ate clients became completely ruined.
 Since then scientists have been study ing the human skin and the causes that produce wrinkles and loss of color, and the modern beauty doctor declares that he or she has discovered that the bloom can be restored to a faded cheek with out injurious aids and that wrinkles and crows feet, ven when long estab- lished. can be effectively banished.
 In Paris a large establishment exists for this purpose. known as The Insti tute of Beauty" and society lady has now opened similar establishment in the west end.
 The exigencies of modern life and the rush and stress of business cause em- ployers to look unfavorably upon the man who has passed middle age Too old st 40 has almost become a proverb, and it is we'll known that the largest purchasers of hair dyes are workmen who wish to disguise from their em- ployers the advent of gray hair. The same holds true in the higher walks of life. and in consequence many male beauty doctors have come into exist ence. most of whom practice the hy- gienic and scientific methods.
 The up to date process of renderin,s one beautiful and youthful looking, though apparently complex, is in reality simple, says the apostle of restored youth and beauty. The underlying principle is that the skin is an elastic substance that can be either contracted or expanded. Nature performs these operations through the agency of the hidden muscles, and such blemishes to

 Once, however, he was delayed. and at the last moment found that he could rot catch the express train that he always took if he stopped to purchase anything. When upon his arrival home his little daughter started to put her hand in his pocket he shook his head.
 1T had to disappoint you tonight, dear he said. and seeing her quivering lip he went on:
 Tt was this way. At the last mo- ment nan came into my office, which kept me later than usual, and I only just had time to catch my train. Now, if I had stopped as usual to. get you something. : would have had to wait an hour for another train, which would have made me get home too late for dinner"
