The Market Price Of Titles.

A dealer in foreign titles and decor
atoms, in response to an inquisitive
inquirer, gives the price of the com
modities he offers. The title of count
costs 10000 francs; viscount, $4,000;
baron, $4,000 These are Spanish.
"Chevalier" Is naturally much less
expensive, the highest order being for
sale at 5000 francs.
The red. black and white rosette of
the Red Cross, given for aid to the
wounded on land and sea, can actually
be purchased for 1900 francs; no
further qualification being necessary
than the payment of this sum. One
month sufices the intermediary to Sc
cure this decoration to the candidate
who desires it. The higher titles
necessitate a delay of five or six
months.
Half the purchase money has to be
sent to the dealer in titles on applica-
ton.

Japan,s Newspapers.

Nowhere else in the world has the
progress of the press" been so rapid
as in Japan. The first daily" made
its appearance in 1872. In 1890 there
were already 716 journals Of one kind
or another, with a circulation Of well
over 100000, figures which have
been very largely increased since then.
The increase Of all kinds Of printed
matter is facilitated by the prevalent
low wages and the cheapness Of paper.
The number Of books Of all kinds is
also exceedingly high, an average of
nearly $4,000 having appeared be.
tween 1895 and 1899.

Gustave Luders, the composer, has
friend, teacher of singing, to whom
there came a few days ago a woman
somewhat advanced in years to make
arrangements for vocal instruction.
She was accepted as a pupil, but at
the second lesson the conscientious
Instructor felt it mis- duty to inform
the lady that her ear was far from
true. She received the remark, how
ever. without the slightest resentment,
said she knew she had slight vocal
ability, but that she was determined
to pursue her course TO its inharmo.
NOUS end.
1T is hopeless, madam" protested
the musician at the conclusion Of the
third lesson. "You will never learn
to sing in tune You are simply, vast
ing your time"
1T doesn't matter" was the reply.

physician said that singing would help
