MEN IN SKIRTS.
Taking the World All Around They
Are In the Majority.

/ If there is one thing presumably GER
/ tain on this earth, in the opinion OF
most of us, it is that skirts are essen
| italy feminine and that the special
! feature Of masculine attire is bifur-
Gated garment. But nothing is fur
Their from the truth. TO this day the
majority of the male element OF the
human race. so far as it wears clothes
at all, is Skirted. And in past times
not so very long ago, Il gown down
to the feet was the correct wear or re-
spectabiity in civilized Europe.
An anecdOte told of st. Louis, king
Of France, illustrates this well. ThaC
monarch was the stoutest Of warriors,
man whom 10 one knowing anything
about would dream of accusing or De-
ing eifeminate but on one occasion he
seriously offered to exchange costumes
with Il richly dressed female relative
who had blamed him for wearing the
unpretentiOus garments he usually al
fccted, which, she said, were unsuited
to a king. But she thought his gown
too plain for her, so declined the offer
Now it is impossible to imagine
man like st. Louis even suggesting
such thing if the dress Of men ana
women had not been practically iden-
teal except for war and hunting. In
deed, Il glance ut old pictures confirms
this impressiOn.rGrand Magazine.

Mrs Howard Gould, of New York,
which was cOnSummated on Satur-
dav, has been the source OF much
fellcitation Oh the part of public
spirited people here There seems
ia BE- no doubt but Mrs Gould will
spend an immense amount Of mon
ev on the improvement of the
property.
1t is her present purpose to come
TO Lvnchburg about the last of Jan
uary for the purpose of considering
plans for the Improvement of the
estate. She will enclose the pro
pertv with a high fence and esta-
bii>h a game preserve. which will
be stocked with deer and various
species of birds. some of which wi
lie imported The preserve will be
located on the slope of the Blue
Ridge and some of the land under
cultivation will be utilized for the
maintenance of a handrome herd
of fancy cattle for which the lad,
is said to have a fOndness.
1t is understood that the estate
will be preserved in great meas
urp in its natural state, th"ngh she
will erect handsome residence on

A Mystery About Blood.

There is something very mysterious
about the color of human blood, or,
rather, as to what causes its red color.
The Psychologists say that tine Color
Of blood is due to the red corpuscles
which are contained in the vein fluids"
but this does not nearly explain the
mystery. An aggregation of blood cor
puscles is red, to be sure, but in small
numbers they are yellow, while one or
two examined separately are found to
be of very light straw color Why
a large aggregation of these tiny disks
should convey the impression Of red to
our senses, while few show yellow
and a single specimen of light straw
color, is something we would like to
see explained.-St. Louis Republic.

Sealing Wax.

1t is singular enough that the Oldest
known printed recipe for making com
mon sealing wax, published at Augs.
burg in 1879, describes the use Of al
most the same ingredients as those at
present employed. ROsin, the whitest
that can be obtained; venice turpentine
and vermilion are the cOmponents. For
black wax, lampblack is to be added;
for blue wax, smalt, and for yellow,
Orpiment. When sealing wax was
more widely used than is the case al
present, scented wax was an article
frequently on sale at fancy stationers.

Right to Sign AnOther's Name to
Railroad Ticket.

The right to sign another man S
name TO a railroad ticket. which
has been sold by one passenger to
another was affirmed by the Su-
creme Court in New York. This
decision was given by Justice Lev
enritt in the case of Archibald Z.
Newburn, accused of having forged
the name George E. Witcome to a
railroad ticket. Witburn was the
original purchaser of this ticket
and sold it to Newburn. The tick
was for round trip between New
York and indianapolis over the
New York Central, Big Four and
Lake Shore Railroads. New burn
was arrested here when he signed
Whitcomb's name to the ticket.
Justice Levenritt held that the
mere sale of the ticket, carried with
it the purchasers right to sign to
it the name of the man from whom
he bought it.

a Silly Little Fable, but One That

Once there Were two Maidens who
Sought to Catclf.l Nice Young Man,
who also Was a Good Thing And it
was a False Start in the Eyes Of the
Undiscerning, for the One was Exceed
ing Fair to Look upon and Dressed
Stylshly, while the Other was Plain Of
Countenance, and her Rat was Always
Showing through her P0mpadOur. The
Pretty Girl Smiled Sweetly on the Nice
Young Man, who was also a Good
Thing, and Talked to Him till She Daz-
zled him with her Beauty and charmed
Him with her Wit. The Plain One
gaZed Wonderingly at him and Made
Him Talk to her of Divers Things,
while She listened, Entranced at his
Wisdom and Learning. He took the
Pretty Girl out Riding and to the The
alter and Bought her Candy and Flow
ers, and All the Knowing Ones said
She had struck Winning Gait on the
Home Stretch, when One Day he Mar
ried the Plain Girl and took Her on an
Automobile wedding Tour Of Europe.
The Pretty Girl had Made him Very
much Pleased with Her, but the Plain
Girl had Gone her One Better and
Made him Very much More Pleased

meeting to 5e of unusual interest

representative of the United Fruit

steamers from New Orleans to Pan

deal of carrying for the govern
