The Cnsophisticated MOuiik,

"The Russian moujik.' says a man
who has e life in the land of the
car, lis a naive fellow. He is some
thing like a boy and something like an
lrishman. He is, as Il rule very sim
pie, very kind.
"A typical moujik entered one day a
railroad station. He approached the
agent and asked when a certain train
would leave for a certain place. The
agent told him distinctly, and, SEEM
ing satisfied, he departed. But a mo-
ment later he was back again, and
again he asked the agent the same
question.
"'Why,' the agent exclaimed. 4 told
you that only a minute ago.
"'You did, truly the moujik an
swered. But it isn't myself that wants
to know this time. It's my mate out
side"

The TAlkntiYe Rarher.

Mayor Knight was in Albany last
week and While there dropped into g
barber shop to get shaved. He was
much annoyed by the barber, who in
sisted upon carrying OF a conversation
while shaving him. When, after some
questioning, the barber discovered that
Mr.. Knight was the mayor Of Buffalo
he inquired:
This, Of course. is not your first visit
here?"
mo. I've been here BEFORE"
us that so? Well, now
"You ought to remember me-" inter-
rnpted the victim. who was now quite
savage. I've been shaved here"
Its funny 1 don't recall your face"
%retorted the barber.
well, come to think Of it, you
wouldn't be apt to- snapped his honor.
It's all healed up now"
And the barber kept on shaving

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Sleeves grow In width and lengthen
perceptibly.
Girdles are much worn. The broad.
crushed ones are smartest.
Shirt waists of white madras are dec
Grated with spider-like designs in black.
Plated sleeves, cape effects, cords.
balls. pendants, fringes, buttons and
embroidered bands are features of the
new styles in separate coats.
A yelling novelty is on the order of
thin crepe de chine furnished with a
border in fancy cat stitch forming dia-
monds. This yelling comes in all col
ors.
Lilacs are among the fashionable
flowers for hat decorations. White.
blue and purple blossoms are combined
in large wreaths and placed around the
brim of straw hats.
The chief characteristic of the new
dress fabrics is the soft blending of
shade Green and blue are the princi-
pal colors, but in nearly all combina-
tons black has an important part.

French Decorations.

The popular impression is that the
Legion of Honor is the only French
decoration, but hat is not at all the
case. France possesses orders quite as
ancient as those of most countries,
though the oldest of them, st. Esprit,
st. Michel. st. Louis and st. Hubert,
dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. are no longer conferred.
Since the Legion of Honor. which was
founded in 1902 by the first consul and
modified by statute in 1916 and 1852,
there have been established no fewer
than seven decorations. The Legion is
the only honor that can be bestowed on
foreigners.

Counting Under DimcuItfesL

Engaged lovers in the Canary islands
find it difficult to exchange sweet con-
f1dences, as the young man is not al
lowed to visit his fancee in her home.
He goes to her house and, finding her
at the window. must talk to her from
the street. Sometimes her window is
perhaps ten or twelve feet above the
road. Therefore he must talk loudly,
and very often members of the girls
family are unseen listeners.

GERMAN ARMY INCREASE.
Standing Military Strength Of the
Empire 647, 900 Men.

Berlin. Aug. 19.-There seems to be
no doubt that the government, under
impulse Of the emperor. is deter
mined to ask the reichstag for an in
crease in the permanent military es-
tablishment by about 81 $1,000 men, to
be organized into two army corps.
thus raising the standing army to
about CAT 900 officers and men. The
increased annual charge is estimated
at 50, 0OO, 900, exclusive of equipment.
The first consideration leading the
government to propose what is certain
to be an unpopular measure is that
the military of the country
are not fully utilized by the existing
establishment. Nearly 100,0 900 men,
morally and physically fit for service,
reach the military age yearly who
are not taken into the standing army
because of legal limitations. AL.
though these men who are shut out by
lot from the regular service undergo
short periods of drill in the reserve
they are regarded by the military ad-
ministration as being unequal to the
two years service unit. The general
staff, therefore, asserts that since the
national finances are able to bear. the
expense a portion at least OF these
100 900 capable men must receive full
training; or else the empire will not
be in a state of full preparedness.

MURDERED AND INITIATED.
Four.Year.0Id Detroit Boy Victim o.
Brutal Eiend.

Detroit, Aug. 19.-The mutilated
body Of fOur-year-old Alphonse Wilmes
was found during the day in the real
of the Michigan stove works, wedged
between two molding boxes. The
hands were tied behind with wire and
a handkerchief had been stuffed down
the boys throat. The body was part.
ly stripped OF clothing. The abdomen
was stripped open and the left wrist
was nearly severed. The thighs also
had long cuts in them. Alphonse had
been missing from his home since
Monday noon.
The police are satisfied that the boy
was murdered by a maniac and are
working along these lines.
Rockford. ILL.,. Aug. 19.-The muir
der Of the Detroit boy is identical in
circumstances with the murder of
Dick Tibitts, a seven-year-old newsboy,
here last month. The details CORE
spond so closely that the local author
tiles believe the murderer was the
same man. a lunatic of the "Jack-the.
Ripper type. and are now in commu-
nication with the Detroit police de.
partment on the subject.
