Rather a funny ceremony that is
gone through with every year has
Just been accomplished, and that is
the marking Of the young swans, or
cygnets, on the Upper Thames. It's
swans are, of course. q feature of the
river after Richmond is passed. Some
of them are owned by the crown, and
the rest by two Of the ancient river
companies" and it is in order to dis
tinguish them that the cygnets are
marked.
The swan markers are a picturesque
company. They wear white fiannels,
and can be told apart by their diff
ferent colored jerseys. Those of the
Kings men are scarlet. those of the
Dyers' Company navy blue, and those
Of the Winners Company blue and
white The markers embark in half
a dozen skiffs, at the stern of which
flies either the Kings flag-a white
field with a crown, and the royal
cipher, "E. r." or one Of the banner
cites of the two companies.
The party sets out from MOlesey
Lock, and after that things are pretty
lively, for the operation of marking
swans. even young swans, is 10 holt
day pastime. The birds fight like
furies. They are surprisingly strong,
too. and every once in Il while one of
the markers has an arm or leg brOk-
en- by q vicious blow from cygnet's
wing. The birds are caught by means
of a hook at the end of a long pole,
and they are branded on the beak.
either with the royal monogram or
that of one of the two companies. Usu-
ally the man who does the branding
deprives the swan marked by him of
one of its feathers, which be sticks in
his cap as a trophy.
The number OF cygnets is smaller
than usual this year, on account Of
the bad weather and foods which have
prevailed along the river. BY the way,
the Thames swans have a reputation
for viciousness. and folks who have
seen what they can do with their
wings and beaks make it point to
give them a wide berth.-LOnd0n Cor

MOUTHS HAVE MEANINGS

Beware of the rosebud mouth, The
mouth that is so tiny. The mouth
that finds its way into the pages Of
novels, that may be found in statuary.
All the VenCses have rosebud mouths
for the rosebud mouth is Dame Ma
lures label pinned to the face, de-
claring that its owner is vain. friVol-
Gus and untruthful.
On the other hand the larger mouth,
with full, wetl-proportioned lips,
which when closed, form almost a nor-
izontal line with the corners of the
mouth does not look pretty, possibly,
ed is the indication Of truth1ulness,
loyalty, frmness, justice. A large
mouh does not look pretty, POSSIBLY,
but it reflects handsome and womanly
qualities which should always be in
demand.
One often hears the statement. 90,
what a short upper lip" and the state
ment made in all sincerity A short
upper lip is said to be a sign of beau
ty. Upon the point of beauty we have
nothing to say, but we do no know
the girl who has a short upper lip is
generally a very conceited creature,
and the only way to gain her heart
is to fatter her. That is a point
worth knowing and recOllecting.
Observe the wide mouth with down
ward curves. Women who have a
mouth like this would deprive their
stomachs of the best turkey dinner
ever cooked for the sake of gossipping.
A woman of this kind will neglect
every duty in her life for gossip. And
she is not over kind hearted or sym
pathetic, either. 1t does not require
any very great brain to move this
wide. low-cornered mouth.-Philadel-

FASHIONS AFFECT NAMES.

There are fashions in girls names

young girls in English society.

last December for the coming out Of
her young daughter there were three
Lady Marjories included in the party
Lady Marjorie Greville herSelf, in
whose honor the ball was given; Lady
Marjorie Erskine, the second daugh-
ter of Lord and Lady Buchan, and
Lady Marjorie Manners, the beautiful
daughter of Lord and Lady CRANKY.
Other popular girls are Lady Mar
jorie Gordon, the only daughter of
Lord and Lady Aberdeen; Miss Mar
jorie Coke, granddaughter of Lord

KEROSENE For THE HAIR.

4 woman recently asserted that the
fine appearance of her hair was en-
tirely due to persistent and thorough
treatment with the familiar kerosene
of the corner grocery commerce. IL
was applied regularly once fortnight
in the following way: A little was
poured into a saucer and rubbed with
the fingers into the roots of the hair.
The application was slow and thor
ough, the gentle massage of the roots
with the finger tips being needed to
open the pores for the absorption OF
the oil. The treatment was usually
made at night, and the hair afterward
tied up In a silk handkerchief.
The silk handkerchief is recon-
mended by hair dres5ers as useful in
retaining the natural electricity Of
the hair By noon of the following
day the odor of the kerosene had dis
appeared, and in another twelve hours
the oiliness that followed its use had
also gone. The effect of this treat
ment on the hair was promptly no
ticeable, the falling out stopped. and
scre new short hairs were found all
over the head. AS the kerosene ap-
plication was continued the hair be-
came thick and smooth. When. after
several months, it was finally discon-
tinued, abundant glossy locks re-
placed the dry and lustrelcss hair
the former condition still existing,
though no kerosene had been used for
several years.-New York Post.

Chitto HariO, known as Crazy
Snake, leader OF the Ketoowah band
of Creek Indians, has announced
that he will go to Washington to
have an interview with President
Roosevelt. Crazy Snake has the dis
tinction Of being the last Indian in
the United States rebellious enough
for Uncle Sam to order several COM
panies Of regulars out TO keep him
within bounds. This happened two
years ago, when ne declared war
against the government, and since
that time he has served a term in
prison for rebellion. When the coun.

treaty Of 1882, which provided that
the Indians should hold their lands in

laws, as long as water and grass

cannot speak English, and an inter.
prefer will be necessary in order for
them to make their wishes known to
the President. They viii ask him to

wild Potatoes.

Charles Darwin saw what is now
commonly known as the Irish potato
growing wild in the Corilleras in 1885,
and he gathered and dried a specimen
Of the plant and sent the same soon
after to Professor Henslow, distin-
guished botanist at that time living
in England.
Nj. Darwin then saw and collected
material relating TO what he regarded
as two distinct species of solanum, the
genus to which the potato belongs.
Writing from Valparaiso. under date
of April Is, the now world-famous
naturalist, then young man, says:
I'm the Mendoza bay there are the
seeds or berries of what appears to be
small potato plant with whitish
flower. This grew many leagues from
where any habitation could ever have
existed owing to absence of water.
Amongst the Chonos dried plants,
you will see a fine specimen of the wild
potato growing under a most opposite
climate, and unquestionably a true
wild potato. 1t must be distinct
species from that of the lower Cor
dilleras one.
Perhaps as with the banana, dis
tinct species are now not to be dis
tinguished in their varieties produced
by cultivation"
Even then Charles Darwin had an
linking. perhaps more, of the views by
which he afterwards deeply stirred
the thinking part of mankind in his
statement as to the origin of species.

Who lives for her; to shield her and pro-

Who comforts her when she is old and

The Magnetic Poles.

There are two places on the surface
of the earth where the compass needle.
which elsewhere points approximately
north and south, stands vertically on
end, says the Commercial Advertiser.
These two points, one in each hemls-
phere. are called respectively the north
and south magnetic poles, and are sup
posed to be somewhere near 20 degrees
north latitude and 90 degrees west
longitude, in the arctic regions, and 10
degrees south latitude and 146 degrees
east longitude in the antarctic. Their
exact location is, however, uncertain;
indeed they are probably moving from
east to west and back again with
pendulum-like motion. Their correct
location or the mapping of their mo-
ton is of the utmost Importance to the
mariner, as well as of great scientific
interest.
In his address before the geographic
cal section of the British Association,
which was devoted to terrestrial mag
netism, President E. W. Creak de-
scribed the work thus far done in
attempts to locate these poles, and ex-
pressed the hope that the polar expe-
ditions now out would obtain sufficient
data to finally solve the problem.
There is one expedition now in the arc
tic regions whose sole purpose is to
obtain magnetic records and determine
the position of the north magnetic
needle
