They Are Permitted to Impose Small

One advantage accrueS to the respec-
table member of the community from
the minutcneSs with which the Ores
den police look into the affairs of every
inhabitant of the city. If he is a care

which may serve to establish his iden-
tity he is practically immune from the
indignity Of being arrested and march

deed, he commits some especially hei.
nous crime. Does he drive faster than
the law permits. does he cross n bridge
on the left hand side, he is stopped 10y
the guardian of law and order and re-
quested to give his name. If he has
his papers with him the policeman may
then and there impose Il fine of from
l to 3 marks. If then he admits that
he is in the wrong and pays the fine
the incident is closed. If. however, he
wishes to appeal from the policeman's
decision he may do so. Even in that
case he is not arrested, but Il day or
two later he is notified to appear in
court and answer TO the charge against
him. But then if he is found guilty
the lowest fine that can be imposed
is 3 marks. That this custom of per
hitting the policeman personally to i'm
p-Se small fines is little understood by
foreigners is shown by a remark made
to me by Il gentleman who had lived
in Germany the greater part Of his life
ana i'm Dresden for Il number of years.
I'm reply TO my inquiry as to whether
there WAS ever any question Of cor
rupuon in the police department he re-
piled:
NO; none whatever as far as the
higher officers are concerned. The in
dividual men, however. may be bribcd
occasionally. For instance. if l were
to walk ON the grass in the Grosser
garten and a policeman caught me mt
it I would give him a mark or two.

The Origin Of starching.

The course of history carries us back
nc further than the year l5d4 for the
origin of starching in London. 1t was
in that year that Mistress Van der
Plassc came with her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis for
their greater safety and there pro-
fessed herself Il starcher. The best
housewives of the time We're not long
in discovering the excellent whiteness
of the "Dutch linen" rs it was called,
and Mistress Plasse soon had plenty of
good paying clients. Some Of these be-
gan to send her ruffs of lawn to starch,
which she did so eXcellently well that
it became a saying that if any one sent
her n ruff made of n spiders web she
would be able to starch it. So greatly
did her reputation grow that fashiona-
bic danes went to her to learn the art
and mystery of s%tarching, for which
they gladly paid a premium of e. or e.,
and for the secret Of seething starch
they paid gladly a further sum of 20
shillingS.

The wife of Il Washington street

A WHISTLER STORY.
The Climax of n dinner In Honor OF
the Eccentric Artist.


the Eccentri Artist.
At the close of the case of Whistler
against Ruskin, the former, finding
himself very much in need of rest and
recreation, decided to make n southern
trip. When he arrived in Venice his
American friend thought to cheer him
by giving Il little dinner in his honor
to which Were hidden several friends
Of the artist, principally Americans
and some few Italians. During the
meal there arose Il discussion which
left an opening for Mr.. Whistler tc
use upon his host one of those keen
incisive, verbal thrusts peculiar TO him
which left wounds extremely difficult
to heal. The whole company was
startled, but the host merely smiled
seeming to notice only the brilllancy OF
the attack. Presently, however, the
dinner came to an end and the foreign
guests took their leave. Then the hosi
turned upon Mr., Whistler and, in q
voice trembling with suppressed anger
said:
Jimmie, do you know that you bru
tally insulted me tonight?'
YES" replied the artist thoughtfully
We'll" continued the host, II held
my temper while there were Others
than Il own c%ountrymen present, but
do you know what | shall do If ever
you speak TO me like that again?"
"What?"
"lll grab the nearest water bottle
and smash ii over your head"
The rest of the company sat quite
still, horror and dismay in their hearts
while their angry host glared across
the table at his antagonist. After a
few seconds Mr.. Whistler said in n tone
of childlike innocence:
Then | know what I'll do. I'll never
say anything like that to YOU again.

say they left the schooner last
Saturday morning in their small boat
while in sight of land neal Cape

The weather was clear at the time,
and by noon they had secured two
seals, when the weather grew thick
and they lost sight of the schooner.
They continued searching for her in
that vicinity for 4S hours, and by
that time their water and provisions
had become exhausted. They went
ashore at Cape Mears, and after re.
naming there over night and secur.
ing food they started out again in
search of the schooner, but when two
more days failed to find her, and the
sea was getting very rough, they re-.
to Cape Mears.
In landing, their small boat was

In a few days they will be turned
loose to find new homes along the
coast. Most of them will be turned
loose at Westport, about 100 miles
from Tacoma, and Damon's point and
Gray's Harbor will also be stocked.
The Oriental quail is al excellent
