Worlds Most Expert Swordsman.

The most expert swordsman In the
world is Lieutenant Barrett, X. n.
One OF his cleverest feats is to cut
in halves with sword bar or lead,
the ends OF which rest on the bowls OF
clay pipes smoked by two blucJackets.
With such care and precision Is the
feat performed that the pipes are left
perfectly uninjurcd. A variation of
the same trick Is done by placing two
open razors, about one and one-hnlf
feet apart, with n thin strip OF paper
laid between. over the paper is placed
n bar OF lead which Lieutenant Barrett
cuts through with one dexterous stroke,
leaving the paper intact and the razors
standing up cdgeways. He also clev-
erly performs the same feat by placing
the bar OF lead on two glass tumblers
filed with water.
Lieutenant Barrett is not only good
swordsman himself, but he has taught
his wife to use the sharp edged blade
with almost equal dexterity az himself,
and the two often give capital enter
tainments in public for deserving chari-
ties.
One OF Mrs. Barretts most daring
feats is 10 cut in halves with n sharp
sword a potato balanced on her hus-
bands neck. This feat seems decid-
edly risky when one realizes that the
slightest error of judgment in the
stroke would probably prove fatal. but
Mr.. Barrett has such confidence In the
skill OF his wife that he has gone
through the performance hundreds OF
umes.-London illustrated Mail.

A Historic Racing Beli.

"'rhe silver Bell OF Lanark.' which
is at present the subject of litigation,
possesses unique interest, as IL is be-
lieved to be the oldest racing trophy in
Great Britain. According TO the in
scrption on the stand on which TX is
hung, il was presented by King Will
lam the Lion In the year 1856 TO the
Royal Burgh of Lanark for an annual
horse race From the stand are hung
little silver shields, each bearing the
rame of n winner OF the trophy. The
Oldest of these shields is dated 162S,
but for couple OF centuries the bell
was lost sight of. and IL Is only since
1852 that there are shields for each
year. TIE bell was won last year by
John McLachlan. who has since died.
He received the custody OF II. ana
when the time came round for its re-
turn what was supposed TO be the orig
inal bell was returned by his brother,
George McLachlan, 20 the town clerks
or Lanark. But this was found to be
only a duplicate. George McLochlan
at once instituted search among his
brothers effects. and the original bell
was found. and was duly delivered.
The present litigation is really with re-
gard 20 the duplicate. The town clerks
assert that II was presented 10 them on
behalf OF the town council OF Lanark.

A USELESS WASTE OF MONEY.

There is one detail in which Amer
leans sin against good taste and good
sense. and that is the overlooking OF
their houses with senseless orna-
ments and furniture, writes Julia
Ditto Young in Good Housekeeping
Rugs upon carpets, thirteen pillows TO
a couch sash, lace and silk curtains all
at one window, these are some of the
household superfluities that chew up
the dollars. The present writer is con-
yinced that great good would follow
n simplifying Of domestic equipment.
Work would be easier for servants
and easier in their absence, while the
reposeful atmosphere OF an uncul-
tured house would soothe both master
and mistress. There has been some
reform along this line, but "Oh, re-
form IL altogether
TO every housekeeper reading these
words who has not an account In the

Look over your crowded dining
room, where the chairs touch each
other and ask IL you would not be

net and the fragile ware upon it

THE ROOSEVELT BOYS.
They Headed for. the Indian Reser-
walton, and Then Took I'm
the Philippines.

ST. Louis, July 30-Early to rise was
the Saturday morning complement Of
the early-to-bed Friday night pro-
gramme of the Roosevelt boys, sons OF
the president, who have come to ST.
Louis to see the fair.
They were up betimes, refreshed by
their nights rest at the Inside Inn, and
eager for full day of sightseeing.
They started away from the hotel
alone. They said they did not want
any pilots or guards, or roller chairs
or automobiles or followers. They par
ticularly did not want any followers.
Their hope was that they would not
be recognized, and that they would
have a fine day of sightseeing without
being bothered by curious crowds.
Their first inquiry was as to the To-
cation of the Indian reservation, and
they headed for it, over at the other
end of the grounds, leaving the sights
that lay tetween for another time.
They cid not take anybody into their
confidence as to their further plans for
the day They expressed regret when
they learned that the livestock exhibit
was not open. They had wanted to see
that sight after seeing the Indians. 1t
is probable that the afternoon will find
them in the Philippines, as their inter
est in the colonial exhibit was
aroused By glimpses they had from the
Indian school and the musical sounds
which hoated up from the Moro Viii
lage on Arrowhead Lake.

THEY HAVE A BLACKLIST.
The Procuring of Meat Supplies I'm
Chicago n Serious Question With
Many Retail Dealers.

Chicago, July 30.-The procuring OF
meat supplies, even at the high prices
asked, has become a serious question
with many retail dealers of Chicago.
A blacklist" has been put in circu-
lation by the strikers bearing the
names of retailers who have purchased
meat from the big packers, and the
men listed are finding it difficult to get
supplies from the independent packers.
The system of picketing in force has
made it almost impossible for them to
buy Of the big companies. The "inde-
pendent" packers have been warned
that the penalty for selling to the list
ed retailers will be the calling out of
their own butchers. Several retailers
whose business has been thus tied up
have stated that unless conditions i'm
prove by Monday next, they will go in
to the courts and ask an injunction
against the strike leaders who are re-
sponsible for the black list Several
big markets on the outside Of the city
have been forced to close.
