DeveIy a Puzzle.

Some difference OF opinion appears to
exist as to the number OF votes Big
Bill" Devery will receive IL he carries
out his threat 10 stand as an independent
candidate for mayor OF Greater New
York this fall Senator Plat expresses
the belief that the former police chic:
will poll 10000 votes. while Governor
Odell. who knows something OF the
politics Of New York and is fairly good
on figures. declares that Devery will not
receive more than 5000.
The Tammanyites may take their
choice between these two expressions OF
Republican opinion. Tammany, which
has repeatedly turned Devery down, OF
course is not willing TO concede that
he will poll more than a handful OF
votes, not enough to affect the result
in any way. Deverys candidacy how
ever, threatens to be q serious matter,
and may decide the contest between the
Fusionists and Tammany. The fight is
likely TO be close. and the several
thousand votes which Devery will prob
ably poll may be enough to keep Tam
many out OF power. In which event the
big chief would be almost as greatly
pleased as II elected himself

tainly are American claimants to the old
earldom OF Winton, now held by Lord
Egllngton, whose own family. namely
that OF Montgomery, is represented in
this country by the Montgomerys OF
Philadelphia and through them related
to the KernOchans Of New York. Lord
Eglington holds he old Seton earldOm
of Winton by descent through the female
line from one of the early Earls OF Win

The claimants to this earldom base
their pretensions on a marriage said TO
have been contracted by the fifth and
last Seton Earl OF Winton. who after
being imprisoned In the tower of Lon

The Making of an Artisan.
Inherited Talent an Almost Indispen-
sable Element.

Speculative minds will find food
for thought in the history Of certain
towns famed for their pre-eminence
In particular industries 1t has long
been generally understood that arts
tic talent Is possessed more commonly
by the natives of countries in which
artistic work has been done for gen
erations, than by the people Of newer,
if not less civilized lands; but it has
not been so generally recognized that
several generations are properly
needed for the making of the perfect
artisan.
Somebody with a penchant for his
torical research recently unearthed
the history Of the town of Limoges,
famous for its china, and discovered
that as far back as the sixth century
the people Of that city had begun to
be educated In fine handicraft. AT
that time one Eloi, a goldsmith and
enameler, lived in the place, and won
great fame by his skill. He received
a grant of land in the neighborhood,
and built a monastery, in which all
sorts of work in metals and other
crafts were taught.
For centuries, therefore, Limoges,
or Limousin, as it was called, was IA
nous for fine work Of this kind, and
when the secret of making porcelain
was brought from the Orient the ar
tistic talent of the people was again
brought into play. 1t would seem a
special arrangement Of Providence

A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story

company, of which Wayne MacVeagh
was counsel, for $500 damages for
the death of her husband. "Just few

Good Lord, madam gasped, why
couldn't you have waited until your
case came up? It's next to impossible

She said she didn't care very much,
and went out, seeming very happy.
Well, it just happened that l had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my

discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo and admired it. Who's

Royal Gam blers.

Henry VIII. would gamble away
property and money recklessly, taking
his defeats with bluff good humor. On
one occasion he staked the famous
campanile bell of st. Paul's and lost it
to his adversary, Il Sir Miles Partridge,
who insisted on his pound of flesh and
removed the bell. Queen Mary some
times resorted to cards and was seldom
more lucky than her father, losing oc-
casionally even her lace caps or colts,
which were worth a good sum. Charles
II. loved basset and other round games
and would play night after night and
even on a Sunday, till daylight. while
singers entertained the company from
a gallery. Even the cold William Of
Orange was Il gambler and liked moth
ing better than to spend the day racing
and the night playing cards. t
George III. detested cards and disap-
proved of playing for money, an ;Ser-
sion and opinion in nowise shared by
his son and successor, who is said to
have lost more than 100000 before he
attained his majority.

An Annual Assembly For the Promo

In compliance with an ancient Rus.
sian custom all the young men and wo-

tersburg assemble ON Whitmonday, the
former to stare and the latter to be
stared at. The young girls, dressed as
richly as their means will allow, are
arranged in long rows by the sides of
the flower beds in the summer garden,
with their mammals standing behind
them. The wardrobes of their mothers
and grandmothers are laid under con-
tribution, and everything bright and
gaudy is carefully brought forward to
enrich the drapery, the headdress or
the girdle.
Some of the young ladies are so COW
cred with gold and jewelry on these &C.
casions that their natural charms are
altogether concealed; indeed the lu-
dicrous excess to which this sort of
decoration is sometimes carried goes
beyond what has ever been attempted
elsewhere Thus bedizened the blush
ing damsels are drawn up in mute
rows, while the papas, in flowing
caftans and curling boards, parade
their sons up and down. Here and there
the papas and mammals try to lead the
young folks into conversation with one
another, in the course of which certain
little looks and emotions may arise,
