THAT BAD BEAR AGAIN.

The Teddy Bear is again attacked ana
this time on a new score. A little while
ago its substitution for the doll was
eide. The point now made is that the
offending animal is causing the girls to
give up needlework and it is charged
that the craze for the Teddy-Bear is
seriously affecting the interest and con-
sequently the work of the school chill
dren in sewing in the schools. Dolls
need dresses that have to be sewed, the
shameless Teddy-Bear doesn't need
anything.-Springfield Republican.

WE ARE AGRICULTURAL.

That Kansas is chiefly an agr1cul-
tural state is. of course. generaiiy
true is emphasized by the recent re-
ports of population statistics compiled
by Secretary Coburn. While the state
this year has 1872 cities and towns, with
a population above 1000, the total
population of these towns and cities
constitutes but 3S per cent OF the
states population. The number OF
persons in these larger towns and
cities who make their living from
farms would easily offset the number
living in towns of smaller population
than 1000, SO that 3S per cent would
be a pretty safe estimate for the total
town population of the state. Another
item in this report that helps to show
the extent to which the state is de-
pendent on agriculture is the fact that
in twenty-nine of the los counties
there are no cities of the 1000 class
1t, of course, goes without saying that
even in the larger towns great deal
of the prosperity now enjoyed is an In
direct result of the prosperity enjoyed
by the agricultural classes.-Hutch1n-

surnames of Royalty.

The origin of most royal houses
was similar throughout Europe, and
kings and their families, speakine
broadly, never had or used surnames.
They signed their Christian names
alone. So universally was this the
case that it became rigid etiquette
that a person of royal birth should
not use a surname, though there have
been numbers of cases Of dynasties.
like our own Stuarts, like the Berna-
dotte dynasty of Sweden or like the
Bonaparte family, who unquestionably
and tndubitabIy had inherited sur
names. But It always puzzled me why
the cadet members of our own royal
house do not subscribe themselves as
peers by their peerage designations, as
do other peers. However, the fact is
they do not; but I confess I have SO
far failed to discover what are the
rules which govern their signatures.
The sovereign signs by the Christian
name, and usually adds "R' or "R
and l.. Princes and princesses sign
by their Christian names, and some-
times, but not always, add the letter
When or why this is added or
omitted I am unaware.
But the habits of royalty lead others
into strange happenings. There was
an occasion q can add name and
