There Is a curious reason for the or

the effect that the colors Of regiments
are to be taken from their cases only
on the most important occasions. The
flags of the German army are in a de-
plorable condition, even the new ones.

have had new colors given them OF
late years to replace the old ones which
went through the Franco Prussian war

as IL the regiment had never been in
action. They winked at the subalterns,
who slit the new flags and gave them
the dilapidated air Of the old colors.
But the emperor was furious at this
Imitation, and so he has had the sham

ThieFs Russ to Escape Arrest.

The Budapest police have arrested 4
confectioner's "housemaid" called Rosa
They accused Rosa Of being Alexander
Nemety, aged nineteen, who was want
ed for a series Of thefts. and the pris-
oner at once admitted the identity.
Nemety expls ned that he was tired Of
hiding from the police and that he
dressed himself In girls clothes and
took service with the confectioner on
the strength Of a servants reference
which he had stolen for the purpose,
he acquitted himself excelIently as a
housemaid and might not have been
detected If he had not slipped out In
his own clothes to revisit old haunts
and been traced back to the house.

Wiser Now About ciuars.

Not long ago a man who smokes
good cigars came back from Cuba.
There Is q law limiting the number Of
cigars that can be brought in free to
fifty. This particular man hadn't de-
clared his cigars, but he was found out
all right The customs inspectors told
him about the law, and he was the
maddest man In all New York When
he found there was no chance for him
he started in to throw the extra cigars
over into the water. The inspectors
let him do it, and he finally started to
walk or the pier. But the officers at
once seized the cigars that were left
You threw your cigars overheard. you
know" was the explanation. The man
fumed and swore, but 1t was no use,
and the last straw was added when he
was arrested and later fined for throw
ing some of the governments cigars
into the water. He buys his cigars
right in New York now.-New York

New Method Mirrors.

: Copper very closely resembles silver
In many respects, but hitherto no
method has been known Of depOsiting
It from aqueous solutions on glass so
as to form mirrors like those so long
made with silver. This is now ACCOM-
plished by reducing cupric oxide By
an aqueous solution Of phenyl hydra
kline in presence Of potassium hydrox-

liant and uniform as that Of the sill

METcALF STICKS TO JOB.
Secretary Has No Intention Of Leaving
Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.--secretary
Metcalf has no intention of surrender
ing the navy portfolio, whatever ru-
mors may set ahoat, nor has the Presi-
dent, so far as can be ascertained, any
desire to give the portfolio to another.
Secretary Metcalf expects to remain in
the cabinet until the presidents term
expires and he will then take a long
rest in the mountains, after which he
may resume his law practice. He has
no political plans and does not hesitate
to declare that he has no wish to snatch
from Senator Perkins his official toga.
The beginning OF the talk about Met.
calf's possible resignation seems to have
had, as its excuse, an assumption that
Metcal's announcement in Oakland of
the battleships cruise to San Francisco
was not made with the full knowledge
of the president. As matter of fact
that announcement was made at the
time and in the manner chosen by the
president and was the result of Joint
desire by himself and Metcalf to ans
wer the complaint that Califonians had
made, Eastern editors and politicians
opposed the transfer and the president
expects opposition in congress to the
plan to transfer the feet to the Pacific,
but is prepared to meet and defeat it.
