Chinese Mourning.

81 wonder" says resident OF Tien-
tsin, bow many persons have troubled
to inquire the meaning of the red band
which invariably runs down the center
of Chinese envelope. Curiosity led
me 20 investigate the mystery and
1t was simple. The Chinese mourning
being white. that color is regarded as
unlucky and the white envelope is
accordingly not only barred with red,
but lined with the same, which is a
color associated with particularly good
fortune This may be a wrinkle for
those who have correspondence with
Chinese not TO use white paper"

HIS HlGHNESS THE MAYOR
london Official Has Robes of State,
Four Swords and Holds Many
Dignities.

The attitude of the average New York.
er toward the mayor of his city con-
trasts curiously with that of the average
Londoner toward the lord mayor.
The office of the lord mayor OF Lon
don is hedged about with the most
elaborate formalities. He has gowns oil
scarlet. violet and black for various oc-
casions and train bearer. The lady
mayoress is attended by maids OF
honor, her train is borne by pages In
costumes ln the city his lordship takes
precedence Immediately after the SOW
ereign.
When the king visits the city the lord
mayor meets him at Temple Bar and
hands him the sword OF state. which he
returns to him. This quaint feudal cere-
muny was strictly observed at the Jub-
lice OF 1897
His lordship has the choice of four
swords-the sword of state, for supreme
occasions; the pearl sword. for cere-
monial functions. and the black sword,
borne on the death of a member OF the
royal family or when attending funeral
services. The fourth sword is hung
above the lord mayors chair at the CEN
trail criminal court
There are other emblems Of Office
the diamond scepter. the seal, the purse
and the mace They play au important
part at the swearing in ot the lord
mayor-elect.
The city chamberlain, with three
obeisances. presents the scepter TO the
retiring lord mayor. He In turn de-
| livers 1t to his successor, who lays II on
the table in front of him. The chamber
| lain retires with three more reverences
to return with the seal-and three rever-
ences more The purse is similarly pre-
sented.
Further genuAexions follow from the
swordbearer. who renders up the
| sword; the macebearer also resigns the
mace. The former lord mayor then sur
renders his key to the Golfer in which tho
seal is kept.
There are three keys. OF the othel
two one is held by the chamberlain, TN
second by the chairman OF the land'
committee. To unlock the Golfer al
three must be produced.
Though this complex ceremonial ma!
seem sadly belated, It has its great his
toric interest. II implies the sovereign
power and authority in ancient times
the chief magistrate of the city. Tn
scepter, sword and mace are emblem
, of royalty.

TRAVELLING ART GALLERIES.
General Fed" Cultivates Taste by
Sending Pictures to Isolated
Places.

Il has been repeatedly asserted that
IL there is ever going to be any art In
this country class must be created
that knows what art is. The General
Federation OF Womens Clubs is trying
TO do this. says the New ork Tribune,
by means of it's travelling art galleries,
which, In addition to reproductions OF
pictures, contain samples oil artistic
wall papers. charts for landscape gar
deniug and specimens OF artistic furni-
ture.
The women of Kansas raised mouey
for their gallery by compiling book
OF quotations suitable Tor responses at
club luncheons. This gallery they sent
out to clubs in small towns and cities
where good reproductions of the mas
terpieces OF art are seldom seen. aud
where even nature, thanks to the de-
facing hand OF man, has no beauty to
satisfy the longings OF the soul. The
library has pictures Tor sale, aud its
visits to town usually means that
many glaring chromos have to give
place to works OF art. The work has
now grown to such proportions that
The state has appropriated large sums
OF money for It's support. and the gal
leries are now virtually under state
control.
Texas has a most successful travel
ing art gallery. and the federation pays
lecturer to accompany IL.
Chicago and other large cities have
not only reproductions OF paintings
and other works OF art in their gal
/ leries, but collections OF original Amer
lean water colors. The galleries arr
sent out to little cities and towns anC
the pictures studied and purchased t
a greater extent than in the larger ex
hibitions Of the east.
The women Of Michigan and Mime
sofa have been instrumental in secur
ing legislation for the fostering OF ar
and not only have western legislature
assisted in the work, but the railroad
have, in many cases, offered free trans
portation TO the galleries.

Black Hair Strongest.

Black hair is stronger than golden
tressas. and will sustain almost double
the weight Recently German scien'
list has been experimenting, and has
found that It is possible to suspend
weight of four ounces by single hair.
provided the hair be black. Blond
hair will give way at varying weights
dependent upon the exact tint. A
yellow hair will scarcely support two
ounces, a brown will hold up three
without breaking. while very dark
brown will sustain an additional half
ounce. The greater vitality OF the
black hair is declared TO be the reason
for the preponderance OF blond bald
heads. and according to this expert
menter a person with jet black hair
will still enjoy a full growth. while
the blond will have been bald for
seven and a half years.
