LONDONS ARMY OF MISSING"

Not long ago Miss Edith Mason, a London woman. was missed by her friends. Search wts made for her but it has been unrewarded. She has dis appeared as completely as if she had been swallowed by the earth. Her case brings to light some curious facts. The records show that 34,000 persons were lost in London last year. Enough people to make a city the size of Dav- export Iowa, or Chelsea, Mass, or FL mira. N. Y, or South Bend, Ind, dis appeared and TO trace of any of them has been found. During the past three years more than 10000 people have thus been lost in London.
 But there is no reason to suppose that all or a very large percentage of them were the victims of murderers. Tie figures at Scotland Yard show that 90 out of every 100 of the people who disappeared were men who left wives behind to support themselves and their children. Some of the fugi- tives have of course come to this coun- try, and pretending to be the possess ors of titles, have married heiresses in Missouri, Michigan, Brooklyn, N. Y, and other districts. but it were foolish to believe that all of them have had such good luck. Many of those poor men are no doubt sadly struggling along at this moment and wondering what Liz or Betsy" or "Sairey' and children are doing. An, poor fellows, it is sad to think of them in their lonli- ness and of the heart aches that must come to Nthem. How unfortunate it is that they cannot all present convincing claims to nobility and that America hasn't enough heiresses to go around. Chicago Record Herald.

A FRENCH MAID FOR HER DOG

Mrs. 2. Harrison Power wife of a very rich American, has a dog named Bijou The dog is now occupying special apartment in a hotel at Trou- vile, freqUented by milliOlaires, nobles and other persons of distinction. He is attended by a maid, a servant of qualifications.
 Mrs. Power and her dog have been one of the sensations of Paris recently. When the Powers and Bijou arrived at the Hotel Ritz. a place where prin ces, ambassadors and notables of all Europe and America are to be seen, she caused astonishment by requiring, regardless Of the cost, a suit especially for the dog and his waiting maid.
 There is nothing extraordinary about the dog as a dog. He is a small terrior with hair of great length and silkiness through which peep a pair of feverish ly bright little eyes. The animal has been coddled until he is sickly. and has an appetite as dainty as a spoiled child.
 His meals were ordered from the restaurant with painfully careful se!- ection. \ portion of a woodcOck or Cuail or some ris de veau would be
 
 highness' apartment with as much attention to daintiness as if he were an old time peer of France. After the French fashion he was sometimes seen in a restaurant, devoutedly watched by his superior attendant. He wears a collar set with jewels. A first class lady's maid such as the woman en- gagged for Mrs. Powers dog, is required to speak English, French and German, so that she may be of use in whatever part of Europe he mistress may visit; she must understand hair-dressing massage, manicuring, plain sewing and | something of dressmaking; she must be immune against seasicknss ana be | able to pack luggage scientifically. A | cheerful and agreeable manner and a | soft voice are insisted upon by em- ployers. The wages are s20 per month 1 Bijou's maid seems to be in all re- spects a woman of this type.-Paris Letter to New York World

In fact, some sociol- ogists claim that the decay in the art of letter writing dates from the adoption of the adhesive postage stamp Per haDs if the postmaster were required to lick the stamps, letter writing might regain it's former high estate as po- lite and elegant accomplishment.
 But what of the postmasters? Think of the millions of stamps they would have to affix to envelopes. Mir. Cand- lers bill does not provide for the dele gation of the stamp licking function to the subordinates of the department. The 9Ostmasters themselves must do the licking.
