PRIVATE CLIPPING BUREAUS
Novel Scheme by Which Young
Men Torture Their Girl
Friends,

OF course the girls don't like it.
You can't blame them, says the Phila-
delphia Record. 1t originated with
the idea of keeping track of then
ages and has been tried in Philadel
phia. While it seems quite innocent
and harmless, it is the most exquisite
form of torture ever devised by a
masculine mind.
Here is the receipt: When the
girls of your acquaintance appear
among the lists Of debuantes in the
society columns of the paper-for, OF
the notices of their various appear
ances, pictures, and SO forth. A
scrap-book with all the social achieve
ments of your girl friends is very
pretty to look at and quite pleasing
to the girls themselves the first year
they are out, but he second and
third year it is not so agreeable.
One young man, who seems to be
an inveterate slave of this private
clipping bureau habit, brings down
the madelictions of his feminine
friends upon his head, when he goes
visiting, by saying: LET me see. how
old is Mabel getting to be now? Oh,
yes" then he turns hastily over the
pages of his little scrap book and
counts back by clippings. 1t is the
most wonderful thing in the world
that this novel scrap-book has not
long ago been consigned to the black
list by his girl friends.

HOW MEXICO is LEARNING.
School Teachers Sent to the United
States to Acquire the English
Language.

The study of English is compulsory
In the Mexican public schools. Everv
year Mexico sends to the United
States a number of school teachers
to study American pedagogic methods.
says the Review of Reviews. A great
many Mexican children are being
educated in the schools and colleges
Of this country, where formerly they
were sent to Europe. The number
of Mexican visitors to the United
States and the number Of American
visitors to Mexico is increasing every
year. 1t is said that Yucatecans know
New York better than the City OF
Mexico, and that west-coast Mexicans
are more at home in San Francisco
than in their own capital city. Thus,
each year the American way of liv,
ing is taking deeper hold on the Mex
lean people.
The vice president of Mexico anc
announced successor of President Diaz
is very much AmericaniZed in his
ideas. In fact, he might easily be
mistaken for a plain, shrewd Amer
lean business man from his appear
ance, manner and methods. He has
always been exceedingly friendly to-
ward Americans. AS governor of the
state of Sonora, he encouraged them
to invest in enterprises in his state
and to settle therein. He spared no
effort in seeing that their lives, prop
erty and civil rights were protected.
He is well informed about the United
States, and is a student of English.
He has three daughters in school at
San Francisco, and is educating all OF
his children in the United States.

by falling tree.
Carlson, who had but recently

Some DisraeIi EpiErams.

The following are some of the little
known epigrams of Lord Beaconsfield
recently collected by an admirer of
Disraeli:
BE frank and explicit That is the
right line to take when you wish to
conceal your own mind and to confuse
that of others.
What we call the heart is a ner-
vous sensation, like shyness, which
gradually disappears in society.
Nobody should look anxious except
those who have no anxiety.
Women are the only people that
get on. A man works all his life, and
thinks he has done a wonderful thing
if, with one leg in the grave and no
hair on his head, he manages to get
coronet; and a woman dances at
ball with some young fellow or other
and pretends she thinks him charming.
and he makes her a peeress on the
spot. "-Harper's Weekly.

Seeking Arctic Continent,

The latest program of arctic explora-

Danish subject, explained his purpose in
a personal interview with President
Roosevelt last week, does not include the
purpose of discovering the north pole.
Its principal object will be to locate and
possess for the United States what is
believed to be an enormous archipelago
somewhere between the Parry island and
Wrangel Land. Capt. Mikllesen is an
expert in the handling Of dogs, and he
will be accompanied by Ernest Letting
well of Knoxville, ILL.,, who will have
charge of the scientific work, and Eimar
Ditlivsen of Copenhagen, a zoologist and
artist. The two scientists will start the
coming spring for the mouth of Macken-
zie river by way of Hudson bay, while
Capt. Mikklesen will sail from San Fran
cisco with sledges and supplies. Perma-
nent headquarters are to be established
on the northwest coast of Banks Land.
From that point they will start with
ponies and dog teams in the spring Of

posed to center about a poinc $50 degrees
west longitude and 70 degrees 80 minutes
north. On the whole journey a line of
marine soundings will be made to test
whether they are still above the CONT
mental submarine shelf, the edge of which
will be followed carefully.

Salem (Mass.) Man Has Fine Coli
lection of Antiquities.
Not long ago l enjoyed the privilege
of admittance to some homes of Salem
containing rare pieces of historic furni-
ture. each replete with history dear to
the heart of the lover of tradition.
Perhaps the finest collection of an
tiquities in America is gathered under
the roof-tree of Charles f. Waters,
who lives in Washington square, and
among them all stands forth chair,
which, because of real beauty, COM
mands admiration. 1t is deliberately
and handsomely carved, and to it be-
longs, possibly, the oldest history of
any piece of furniture in Salem. 1t
seems that one John Cogswell came
over here from the mother country in
1885, crossing the ocean in the good
ship Angel Gabriel, which was the
same craft that brought Sir Walter
Raleigh to Guiana, South America, in
1918, on his second and last voyage.
John Cogswell embarked with his
wife, eight children and household
goods-among the last this chair-fol
settlement in this country. A frightful
storm off the coast of Maine, where
by mistake they had drifted, caused
a total wreck of the vessel. Mr.. Cogs-
we'll and family, and what furniture
there was preserved, were carried to
the shore at Pemquid, Me- where the
family spread tent and remained
until the next week. They then took
passage to Boston and settled at Fps
witch, Mass. This chair descended in
the family until it came to Mr.. Waters,
the present owner.
Once upon a time there lived in Sa-
lem merchant of great wealth and
renown, a Joshua Wood Gen. George
Washington, during visit to Salem,
spent q night at the house of Mr..
Wood, and slept in the northeast cham
Der of the fine, brick house. Among
the furnishings of this room were sew
eral beautiful Hepplewhite chairs One
of these chairs-said to be the chair
in which Washington sat to record his
impressions of Salem in his diary-is
now treasured in one of the city's not
ed homes. 1t was while on this visit
that Washington wrote of the women
of Salem: Il have seen at least one
hundred handsome and well-dressed
ladies, greater portion of them hav-
ing much blacker hair than is seen in
the South
In the home of Daniel Low, in Es-
sex street, the old Cabot house, where
Mrs Joseph H. Chamberlain made her
home as Miss Endicott, stands Dutch
chair, of handy legs and beautiful pro-
portions. The chair is more than two
hundred and fifty years old, and has
descended from the first Low in Amer
lea, who settled at Essex, Mass, and
among whose descendants is ex-Mayor
Seth Low of New York to the present
owner
