Women Who Tell Their Age.

In Japan no woman is ashamed of her age. but she tells 1t out in the ar- engagement of her hair so that all tho world may know it.
 Between the ages of and IS girls wear their hair interlaced with red crape in a semi-circle round the head, the forehead being left free, with a curl at each side From 15 tIll 30 the hair Is worn high on the forenead and gathered at the back into butterfly or fan shape and IS decorated at the back with silver cord and perhaps with col ored balls. After the age of 30 women wear their tresses round a tortoIss shell pin.
 Different styles of hairdressing arc affected by maidens. wives and wid- ows, and a glance will tell whether a widow intends to remain faithful to the memory of her late husband or whether she would like to marry again.

Louisiana Governor Wants Members of the Mob Which Shot to Death Prisoner in Jail Taken
 Into Custody.

Baton Rouge. La, May 6.--Governor Blanchard today made an offer of re- wards aggregating s1.5o0 to secure the arrest and conviction of members of the mob which on April 26 entered the parish jail at Homer, Ia. and shot to death Dick Craighead, awaiting a new trial for the murder of Mrs. Mckee and child. Fifteen hundred dollars is offered for the Identification and con- viction of the entire mob, twenty to twenty-five in number; s1.000 for the conviction of any five or more, or $500 for the conviction of any ono person who was a member of 1t. The offer of rewards is to remain in effect for a year.
 The Governor issued an address to the people of Claiborne Parish, de- nouncing the assassination of Craig head in which he said:
 This resort to mob law greatly in- jures the good name of the State and tends to impede her progress. Espe- cially does it work harm to the conn munity in which 1t took place. wheth- CT Craighead was innocent or guilty of the double murderwith which he stood charged, has nothing to do with 1t. In the eyes of the law the parties who mobbed tho jail are as much subject to condemnation if Craighead were guilty as they would be If he were ir- nocent.
 we must inculcate respect for law and order. We must let 1t be known that here in Louisiana life and prop erty are protected. We must make the law a terror to those who defy 1t and this mob did defy it outrageously.
 All good citizens owe 1t to the state, to the community in which they live and to themselves to range themselves on the side of the officers of the law in the effort that will be made to ident- fly and bring to trial those who form ed the mob.
 T appeal to the good people of the parish to uphold the cause of law and order. The Executive Department will render every assistance in its power to bring the guilty parties to answer at the bar of justice for their crime"

ri.hermen,. patron saint.


 St. Peter, of course, Is the Fisher4 man; but anglers may find saint oz their own in St. zeno, who is coni- memorated on April 12. Verona's pat- ron saint Is conventionally represents ed holding Q fishing rod. with fish aa the end of the line; the reference bee ing to the tradition that he used to enjoy fishing in the Adige during his episcopate. He must have commanded good sport if he exercised as much control over that river in life as he is said to have done two centuries after his death. In 5S9 Italy was visited by terrific floods, and the Adig0 threatened to swamp much of Verona. But the faithful gathered in St. zion'n Church by the river. and though the water rose to the windows outside. none of it could pass the doors, and after twenty-four hours of prayer iE subsided. This rests on the authority of Gregory the Great.

COIIectiOn-box CuriOs.

Philadelphia Record.
 The recent discussion of baiiot-box stufflng has not altogether diverted the attention of churchmen from the question of collection-box stuffing, In one of the prominent churches of Phil adelphia, where the weekly offerings of the congregation are enclosed in small envelopes before being dropped into the boxes, a collection is being made of the articles contributed by-the ungodly. and It Is already large enough to form the nucleus of q small muse- um. Among the things thus far found in the envelopes are smooth. mutilat- ed and foreign coins. postage stamps, exchange tickets, theatre seat checks, assorted buttons. campaign and other medals, tin tobacco tags, a cigarette, a Washington CD. CD street car tick ct, an iron ring. lozenges, chocolates, chewing gum, an umbrella tag, pieces of iron, lead and glass; candy. belt fastener a milk ticket, an aluminium check good for one shave" rubber bands, matches and blank paper.

 well, whatf
 "That if I will put the bill in your hands you will see that it reaches the right congregation. Over 0 thousand men have told me the same thing"
 Then I'll get out of the rut, sir, and tell you something else. I'll tell you that I'm the Chicago merchant who made tho mistake, and if you don't hand over my thousand dollars at once Fl have you by the neck
 But you can't be the man, sir.
 I'm the man all right enough, and now you hand oveFP'
 It was settled by the Pittsburger aa- hitting that he was a liar and asking 2 the other man to hove a Btogy with him, but somehow he did not seam very hilarious over the way the mct- dent closed.

DINING IN JAPAN,
If It's Your First Meal You will Have
 a Trying Time.
St. Nicholas.

St. Nicholas.
 If it's your first Japanese dinner you're having a dreadfully hard time
 In the first place, you must sit on the floor for they don't have any chairs in
 Japan. You kneel down, and then you turn your toes in till one laps over the other, and then you sit back between your heels. At first you are quite proud to find how well you do 1t, and you don't think it's so very uncomfort- able. But pretty soon you get cramp- ed, and your legs ache as if you had a toothache In them. You don't say anything, because you think that if the Japanese can sit this way all day long you ought to be able to stand 1t for few minutes. Finally both your feet go to sleep, and then you can't bear 1t a moment longer, and you have to get up and stamp around the room to drive the prickles out of your feet, and all the little dancing girls giggle at you. This isn't your only trouble, either. All you have to eat with Is a pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror lest you spill something on the dainty white mating floor. Now the floor or Japanese house isn't just the floor; it's the chairs and sofas and tables and beds as well. At home it would be mortifying enough to go out to dinner and spill something on the floor, but with Japan, where 1t seems even worse. So you are unhappy till your little me- san (who Is the waitress and almost as prettily dressed as the dancing girls, but not quite) comes laughing to your aid and shows you how to hold your chopsticks. After that you manage nicely the rice and omlet, but the fish and the chicken you can't contrive to shred apart without dropping your all the time. So. between dances the maiko-the little girls about twelve years old-kneel down beside you and help you. They can't keep from giggling at your awkward ness, but you don't mind; you just gig gle, too. and everybody giggles and has a lovely time.

 Street. admitted today that she was a sister of Mrs. J. W. Gray, the Hotel Imperial suicide. Miss Olivia Parker, a beautiful young woman of twenty, who lives with her Is the person to whom Mrs. Gray desired her personal effects. furniture and money to be for warded. Mrs. Parker insisted emphat- ically that she and her daughter were not octoroons but white. With respect to the reference in Mrs. Gray's letter to Olivia Parker as colored girl and her statement that she had no rela- tives, Mrs. Parker said that her sister evidently desired to spare their feel ings. She said their brother referred to in the Boston despatch died some time ago.
 Mrs. Parker said her sister was born In New Orleans. She came of excellent people. She was reared and educated in the Ursuline Convent. About fife teen years ago when she was seventeen years of age she was married to J. W. Gray, wealthy Chicagoan. She visi. ted here occasionally during the winter months. Mrs. Parker said Mrs. Gray's husband had lavished diamonds and other jewelry upon her and that sine must have had many of these articles with her in New York. She said she knew of Mrs. Gray's affair with Stonehall. He had written her numerous love letters and had promised to marry her, Mrs. Gray at first believ- ing him an unmarried man. Mrs Gray wrote her sister on Easter a letter full of hope. and there was no intimation that she intended to end her life. Through a lawyer today Mrs. Parker communicated with the authorities in New York asking that the body be properly buried and that Mrs. Gray's effects be forwarded here.
 From other sources. 1t was learned that Mrs. Gray had fondnesS for the sporting set. During the winter she went frequently to the races here and bet freely. On April 12 she appeared at the city park track arrayed in all her diamonds and liberally supplied with money.

ROBERT HENRY HARRIS. a small negro boy who gives the Montgomery police force opportunity to enforce the law often, was arrested at 5:45 o'clock last night by Patrolman M A. Mitchell for the larceny of a pair of socks from Kress's store on Court Square. The hoisery was valued at dime and as Robert is somewhat of an expert klep- tomaniac and the socks were lying temptingly on the counter before him, he just took them and left. The Re- corder will hear from him the story of the socks tomorrow afternoon
