WHITE STAR CHANGES ROUTE
Southampton Made Port of Call for
Part of Fleet Instead of
Liverpool.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The decision of the
White Star line to remove part of its SER
vice from Liverpool to Southampton is con-
sidered to be a significant and far-reaching
movement by the British lines to regain
control of the passenger traffic to and from
the continent. The German and American
lines have gradually been absorbing the
cream Of the passenger traffic at continent
tai ports, as their landings at Cherbourg
and Southampton tapped all Europe.
whereas Liverpool tapped only England
and some Of the northern European trafic.
The great tide OF American tourists desired
fiexibility of routes, permitting them 10 ar
rive and depart at or from the continent,
as well as from England, which increased
the disadvantages of Liverpool The White
Stars removal, therefore, challenges foreign
control Of the continental traffic, and 1t is
generally considered to be preliminary to
similar action on the part of other British
lines, particularly the Cunard line.
The movement is likely to exert consider
able influence on the maritime Importance
of Liverpool and Southampton. In shipping
circles there is no doubt that Liverpool
will maintain its supremacy as the chief
Atlantic port, but the tendency is steadily
in favor of ports on the English channel,
owing to their proximity to the continent.
Southampton already is preparing to make
heavy expenditures, including the construc-
tion OF docks capable of receiving the
largest liners.
Another feature which is arousing strong
feeling is the effect OF the arrival OF the
American malls. It is contended that the
mails will be greatly delayed by the adop-
tion of the Southampton route. The urban
council Of Queenstown today strongly crit
icsed this aspect Of the change, and II was
pointed out that TO send the mails 10 South
ampton would Inconvenience two-thirds of
the business people of England

The Rise of a Painter

Only painters looked long at the pic ture which Eugene Carriere exhibited at the salon of 1877, and for dozen years afterward, while his portraits and his studies of children and women steadily gained in distinctive charac- ter, they puzzled and repelled the un- wary, says Henry Copley Greene in the Century. Their merging varied colors in a single tone, their dissolving of sharp contours in smoke hued mist, suggested either insincerity or myopic vision. Yet little by little Carriere i'm pressed first few artists and critics. then part of the public, then even the ministry of fine arts. In 1889 he was decorated, and in the next year, when his paintings were seen at the then new Salon du Champ de Mars isolated in a single group, Carriere be- gan to be more widely understood. His fervid sincerity reverberating, as it were, from picture to picture destroy ed all suspicion of pose, and as his technic grew familiar the sculptur- esque solidity of his heads and figures appeared through that mist in proof of his genius of eye and hand.

The Herrings' Heads.

Miracles are not only of religion. Perhaps readers may have forgotten the strange adventure of the great Johann Sebastian Bach. The story was told by Bach himself and is there fore, we may be assured, substantial ly true. Bach was very young man at the time. His chief object then was to hear q great organist of Hamburg named Reinken. He was very poor, and on one of these journeys, return ing home, he found himself destitute and yet far from Luneburg. So he sat down on bench outside an inn and tried to dine on the smell of the cook ing Suddenly a window was thrown open above and a couple of herrings' heads fell at his feet. He picked them up and discovered in each a piece of money. He could not find out who his benefactor had been. But he made a good use of the gift, for he immedi- ately tramped back to Luneburg to hear Reinken once more. However it happened, it was miracle. But Bach was dwelling in the regions of the miracle.-London Academy.

 "A doctor, q lawyer or divine" he said, "learns his business in three or four years, and afterward he is won derfully looked up to. It takes us barbers many, many more years to learn our business, but who is there that looks up to us? On the contrary, we are rather looked down on.
 Yet think of all a good barber must know today.
 He must not only shave and cut hair and trim boards beautifully. He must understand facial massage, sing ing, hairdressing, undulating, dyeing, wigmaking and switchmaking, and he must also be able to compound pleas ant washes and shampoo lotions, mas sage creams, skin foods, eradicators and regenerators and depilatories-if you know what they are-tonics, oils, brilliantine and shaving creams.
 With all this knowledge why shouldn't the modern barber hold his head as high as any doctor or lawyer or preacher in the land?"-New Or leans Times-Democrat.

 Berlin has a restaurant where beef steak prepared in the highest style of culinary art costs S450, and the waiter expects tip of 50 cents.
 There were last year only ninety de partment stores in Germany, where such stores have aroused much more bitter animosity than in the United States.
