GRAND MARSHAL DONE FOR.
Figure That May lie Displaced by
Motor Vehicles In This
HOrseIess Age.

"Whcn power-driyen vehicles shall
have superseded horse-drawn vehicles
entirely, as no doubt. in the not far dis
tant future, they will have done" said
Mr.. Gozzleton, according to the New
York Sun, what will become OF the
grand marshal? win anything be de
vised that will enable him to shine with
anything like his present glory?
Nov, with a broad, bright-colored
sash worn diagonally across his manly
bosom. and with a dahlia-like rosette
pinned upon his breast, he rides grandiy
at the head Of the procession mounted
on a horse What would a procession
be without a grand marshal and what
would a marshal be without a horse d?
And what will he do when there are no
horses?
Ills prospect now is dim. indeed; but
let us hope that. when the horseless
age shall actually have come. some
means will be found to preserve the
glamour and the glory of the grand
marshal"

PHILADELPHIA'S FLY-KILLER.
Gathers Thousands Into n Room and

Persian Powder.

Philadelphia has employed man to
kill flies. He Is an expert in the
slaughter Of these pests and has no
computations concerning their exter-
mination In common with the head
of the Philadelphia health department
he believes that flies have no value
as scavengers, but that, like rats and
mosquitoes, they are active enemies Of
the human race, spreading a variety
Of dirt diseases and making epidemcs
possible, says the New York Evening
World.

-goblet-of- molasses trap
as a weak and ineffective device; fly
papers are 70 his mind expensive and
valueless, dishes Of fly poison worse
than useless. screens merely defen-
sive appliance. His method Is to make
a chamber attractive to flies, gather
thousands there, burn a handful of
Persian powder in the chamber and ex-
terminate his guests.
The undertaking seems a task for
Hercules, but its profit promises to be
great.

John BROWN AS LOUIS XVI.
Amusing Errors I'm IA French EncyclO-
pedia About Some American
Celebrities.

The new Illustrated Larousse, the
great French encyclopedia authority
upon men and things, contains some
curious errors about American affairs
says the New York Journal.
In the article on Lincoln, for In
stance, the president is killed by a
"sectarian," one j. Wilkes.
John Brown is represented pictor-
tally as an individual who could easily
pass for Louis XVI, wig and all.
The United States mint is situated
in New York and the Hudson river
bridge is an accomplished fact.

is the most concert-going lady in Paris
Nine. Melba is described as nee Por-
ter although her maiden name is
Mitchell.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, we are
gravely informed in ponderous vol
ume, was an English poetess, better
known by the name of Miss Barrett.
Obviously there are other people in
hurry beside Americans. Unlike the
latter, those have not the faculty Of
accurate achievement when they make
haste.

TAUGHT AMERICAN MANNERS,
Male Immigrants Receive FOrcible
Lesson as Soon as They Reach

The first lesson in American manners
learned by the male immigrants is usu-
ally impaired at the gates of Ellis island

fitness to become an American citizen

then the wife, bending beneath a huge
bundle of household goods or even a
heavy trunk. Last of all staggers the
grandmother, literally bent double I'M
der the load she carries.
Suddenly the head of the family is
rudely accosted in an unknown tongue
by one of the officials of the island.
There is nothing unintelligible in the
manner in which the said officer re-
lieves the mother and grandmother of
their burdens and the immigrant. to his
anazement, finds himself finishing his
journey to the boat carrying the heav-
lest of the load on his own unaccus-
toned shoulders, while the Oldest boys
shoulder the rest. This is an everyday
occurrence at Ellis island.

MAN IS NO GOOD.
Club Woman Glasses Him Below Cat,
Dog Monkey ns Do
nestle Pet.

A leading club woman of the east,
who has had considerable experience
with mentor, not satisfied with one
trial, she has had three husbands-has
a very poor opinion of the sterner sex.
Il weigh mans moral carat on the scale
of his personal habits" she says, "A
man, when he is perfectly nice and
clean, tastefully dressed and not noisy,
is bad enough, but man who wears his
hair in his eyes and over his collar, mani
cures outside his own room, leans
around, sits with his feet higher than
his head and all that is unbearable. If
| married one of the beasts inadvertent-
ly, I'd break him to deCency or I'd kill
him with indigestion. What's the good
of husband anyway? He has never
been more or less than pet or provider.
BY his own admission. female COMPETE
ton has destroyed his usefulness as a
provider. That is all right; it simply
makes him twice pet. Now, having
reduced him to his lowest terms, since
it was only question of pet, why not
be satisfied with bird, a cat, dog, a
monkey, parrot-anything? Such
pets do not smoke, get drunk, nor bring
mud into the house. They never talk
back. They come when they are called,
and they do not try to run things"

Many persons imagine that the hui

that they could never be mistaken in
the voice of their friends, but in the
branch telephone exchange Of big
business house the other day an ex-
pertinent proved that this was not ell
together true, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. One Of the employees OF the
house took his place at the ex-
change, and, as various persons called
for various members he guessed who
was speaking. Out of ten guesses six
were wrong. He erred in the case Of
his own brothers voice, installing it
for that Of the proprietor, He was
sure that he had detected a fellow
clerk on account of the pronunciation
of Coffee awfee"-that he believed
to be peculiar to this person, but the
event proved that there were others
in the building who also pronounced
coffee in that odd way The girl at the
exchange said that she never at

especially over the phone. when you

she murmured. "A rOguish voice says:

WEALTH THROWN AWAY.
Much of value Is Cast Into the waste
Baskets of IA Large city
Every Day.

said a business man the other day, re-

enough to make any one man independ-
emily rich for life" Come again, said
the doubling friend, Rich for life,
went on the other. You don't see
how? OF course, you don't. ! do.
Did you ever consider the thousands
and thousands of waste baskets that
are empted by the janitors in ofhces
every night? Well, suppose you could
get all that paper Your income every
day would be up in the hundreds of dol
lars. That is, if you simply sold the
paper to pulp mills.
But suppose you could add to that
tidy income by possessing yourself OF
the stamps that are dropped into the
waste baskets by mistake. There would
be another fine item in your income.
Suppose, then, if your conventional
mind will permit you to stray so far
afeld that a man could buy all the
business secrets that he could find lying
in waste baskets. He would have, as
sure you, such a lever that he could pry
solid gold into his bank account.

make in a long life of hard work.

very uncompimentary illusions to
King Leopold Of Belgium was pub

publishers were promptly notified that
no copies would be allowed to enter
Belgium There were, however, sew
eral persons in Brussels and other
parts Of Belgium who desired to read
the book. and in spite OF the official
notice they managed To get copies OF
1t. The method which they used was
very simple.
The books were removed from the
original covers in Paris and placed
in other covers. bearing such titles as

ITALIAN WAY OF WORKING.
Leads an American Woman to Give
Genoa the Preference as
Residence.

An American woman married the
captain of a steamship trading to
Mediterranean ports and was straight
way lost to her American friends, for
she went to live at Genoa, one of the
ports visited by her husbands ship,
reports the New York Sun.
She recently paid visit to friends
in this country and many asked her
why she did not make her home in
New York. In each case she gave as
her reason her desire to see as much
as possible of her husband.
Then the inquiries were pressed fur
Their. If the steamer sailed from both
ports at regular intervals, why was
not one as good for her purposes as
the other. The explanation was sim
pie enough to anyone who knows the
difference between methods at New
York and Genoa.
The ship consumes five days in I'M
loading and reloading at New York,
and the captain could have only those
five days with his family, and good
deal of each day would be taken up at
the wharf, perhaps several miles from
his home.
At Genoa the processes of loading
and unloading, by reason of old-fash-
Toned methods and slower workmen,
occupy nearly two weeks, and the dis
lance from the ships wharf to the cap
tain's home is not great So Amer
lean business methods work to ex-
patriate one American woman.

BIT OF CHICAGO HISTORY.
Although Only seventy Years Old,
As an Incorporated Town,
1t Is u Century Old.

Most Americans will have been sur
prised at the announcement Of Chi
cago centennial celebration to be held
in September of the present year, says
the Review OF Reviews Chicago was
still very minute village when, in 1888,
1t became incorporated, and the Potta-
wattomie Indians of the vicinity sold out
their lands to the government, but Fort
Dearborn dates from the year 1904, and
1t seems that John Kinzie, the original
pioneer, had settled on the site OF Chi
cago in the previous year, with several
associates, as Indian traders. Thus, the
permanent settlement of Chicago dates
properly from the year 1893, and
centennial observance in the present
year is appropriate. The celebration is
to be merely local affair, with pageants
and tournaments, rowing regattas, yacht
races, sham battles, and the like. What
will be most instructive, however, to the
school children of Chicago will be the
reproduction on the lake front OF old
Fort Dearborn, with an Indian village
inhabited by several hundred Ojibways,
Pottawattomies and Menominees, all
OF whom 1t is proposed to bring to Chi
cago from Canada for the occasion. The
Chicago committee would do well to
take some hints also from the recent
celebrations in New York.

PRIMITIVE BRITONS.
Inha bitants of st. kilda in the Outer
Hebrides Have Little Use
for Money.

The most primitive community in
the British isles is that which inhabits
st. Kilda, in the Outer Hebrides The
people, who number 76, have no tele-
graphic communication, and no mails
from September until May, says Stray
Stories.
They have hardly any use for mon
ey, such traffic as exists being carried
on by barter; even their rents are paid
to the landlords factor in sea-birds'
feathers; while other produce is con-
signed through the same channel, and
goods are sent in exchange for it.
In a recent address to the king, the
inhabitants pointed out that it was six
months before they had heard of the
accession of George ", while news
of the death Of Queen Victoria did not
reach them for more than month,
and then only by chance.
They have a minister, but no doctor,
and recently, when a medical man was
sent to vaccinate them, they would not
have the operation performed unless
the steamer which took him waited
with him to see whether it was to be
successful.
The women spin and dye Sleeps
wool, which is woven by the men,
Another primitive community is that
on Fair isle, between Orkney and Shet-
land.
