carriages that looked very attractive. In
one sat an Englishman and his wife
dressed in lavender and golo, while their
two little girls, looking quite like fairies,
sat behind. Their carriage was complete
ly covered with violets. In another We
hicle sat young couple hurting gariands
of roses as they drove by. Their carriage
was adorned with white doves and great
bouquets of white roses. In another car
riage stood two young women dressed In
pink gazing upward to two ladders OF
roses, while their vehicle was decorated
with garlands of pink roses. Another
very attractive carriage was a little cart
covered completely with white violets In
which sat a number of pretty children.
In spite of the cold winds the onlookers
soon became enthusiastic, and a lively
battle Of flowers ensued. The gaiety Of
carnival week Is brought to climax at
the ball. The hall was brilliantly dec
grated with plants, flags and lights Of
many colors. Shortly before midnight the
revelers appeared. The women came in
handsome costumes of green trimmed
with gold lace and bright red flowers,
with slippers and gloves to match, many
wearing attractive hats Of the same color
to match. The men wore dominoes of
the same color. Though they are sup
posed to wear masks, many Of them took
them of In the evening. Some of these

is willing to pay the price. Far outri-
valing the dressmaking and millinery es-
Establishments are the jewellers shops,
where the handsome strands Of pearls
and diamonds tempt the rich. These
women Of leisure do not give all
of their time to shopping; they drive and
promenade along the quay. In the after
noon they visit the Cercle de Ia Medlter-
ranean, the private rooms in the Munich
pal Casino and the Jette promenade to
watch the players and try their hand at
gambling. When they tire Of losing
their 2O-franc pieces they take a spin to
the lawn tennis and golf clubs. and finish
up by drinking o'clock tea at one of
the fashionable hotels up at Clmiez The
days are spent quietly compared to even
ings, when these people of wealth and
fashion give themselves up to round of
dinners, going to opera and gambling at
the Casino.
Some days before Carnival time Nice
becomes crowded with tourists promenad-
ing up and down the main streets, look
ing into the shop windows, attracted by
the funny masks and pretty costumes Of
bright green trimmed with bright red
feathers. The square Is filled with work
men busy raising grandstands, decorating
arches and strtlging electric lights of
many colors. Carnival is awaited with
delight and eagerness for 1t is a great

success hundreds of dollars are spent
by societies and individuals constructing

on the part of the vorkmen are as neces-
sary as money and enthusiasm. 1t is no
easy matter to change wooden pedestal
covered with some crude plaster into a
handsome bust of Carmen; 1t is even
more difficult task to build up chariot
of music out of wooden slaves and tin
trumpet. The approach of King and
Queen Carnival Is announced with the
laundering of cannon and right willing is
the city given over to them. King Carni-
val XXXV., of this years festival, and
his royal bride, appeared in gala splen-
dor Their automobile was decorated
with electric lights and beautiful flowers.
Two cooling doves were placed before
them, while a swan was seated on the
umbrella that protected them from the
vulgar gaze, and a cupid rode behind
them. Queen Carnival had her arm about
her royal spouse and wore a sweet, senti-
mental smile as she gazed into his round,
contented face. Their coming was well
coined with applause and laughter. They
were followed by many other attractive
floats and funny masqueraders. One of
the best was the chariot Of the Press.

papers. From every side pressed re-
porters with mouths and eyes wide open
and pen in hand gasping for news, while
one ambitious young man was stretched
over the top of the car, not finding room
elsewhere. Another attractive float showed
the game of dominoes, represented by a
crowd of young men leaning over bal
comics flirting with the masqueraders be-
low. One of the best floats represented

giants walking on sticks, policemen fish
ing their way through the crowds, the
usual old maid carrying her bird cage and
umbrella. followed by jockeys and funny
clowns. 1t did not take long for the
thousands of people seated in the grand
stands to grow merry with laughter and
to take part In the throwing of con-
fetti. Long after the procession came to
an end great crowds of people followed
the different floats. The main streets
became a sea of people trying to press
their way through the great walls of
onlookers, revelers dancing on the side
walks and scattering great clouds of con-
fetti everywhere. This revelry was kept
up until after midnight. The same pro-
cession of the floats was repeated few
days later In the afternoon with equal
success, with the merriment lasting until
late In the night.

costumes were works of art and cost
from four to FIVE hundred dollars. But
for those fond Of livelier sport are the
great races following on the heels of car
nival week. These races are only out
rivaled by the Grand Prix In Paris. On
the race courses In Nice are seen many
Of the handsome thoroughbred horses
with their owners, trainers, jockeys and
familiar faces from the Paris race
courses. The women looked quite as at
tractive, the costumes were quite as elab-
crate and the betting almost as high as
at the Grand Prix. Some of the best
jockeys and finest racing horses in Europe
were seen here. The most important per-
son on the race course is Monsieur Ca
mile Blanc. He is to be recognized by
bowler hat and a rather shabby overcoat
He is president Of the Nice Racing So
clety, and supplies no small part Of the
funds Gambling Is almost as lively here
as at Monte Carlo, and it does not take
much more than four seconds to make
bet of $1,000. The government has tried
many time to put an end to this gam
bling, but with no success.
Nice has a rival in Cannes, which latter
place might well be called a garden, full
Of roses, camelias, oranges and manda-
rians. The place Is made lovelier still by
the rich villas that crown California ave-
nue. and the hills beyond. On the right

villa, on the left Is Baron Alphonse de

wealthy Americans and Englishmen.
Here the automobile enthusiast can
amuse himself to his hearts content as
he speeds along splendid roads, extending
from Cannes to Nice, from Nice to Monte
Carlo, and even on to Mentone and San
Reno. There are plenty Of things to IN
terest him on the way, such as the broad
stretch of sea, dotted with white masts,
graceful bays that glitter like bows of
gold In the MONDAY sun, handsome white
villas and large hotels, surrounded by
semitropical plants, gardens and high

The Animal Laugh.

The horse laugh and the pussy cat
smile have become famous, not as scien-
tihc events, but in a humorous fashion,
yet, nevertheless, there exists solid
backing Of scientific facts for both Of these
expressions. In fact, there are number
of animals who have been proven to pos
sess a keen sense Of humor and number
of them laugh sufficiently near enough to
the manner used by human beings for pur-
poses of absolute Identification. Dogs, es-
pecially, are marvelously human. They
are intensely jealous, show anger, Joy,
grief and amusement as plainly as any
child could do.
The disagreeable ha ha! even is not
confined to human beings, for many birds
can ha ha perfectly, including the par
rot, raven, crow, jackdaw and several
other species of birds. A dog does not
laugh audibly, but when amused he enjoys
a silent but most expressive grin and
turns up both corners of his mouth in a
fashion totally distinct from the snarling
grin of the same dog when angry. That
animals of many kinds appreciate funny
situations has often been shown. Many
young dog has stolen bone from a
chained friend and sat down just outside
the reach of the chain to gnaw the bone
and grin at the one he has robbed.
Some monkeys laugh just like some hu-
man beings. The monkey grin is very
tantalzing, and they also chatter In a
maddening sort of glee after playing some
mischievous trick or other. Kittens can
grin in a most engaging fashion, but
grown-up cats seem to take life far too
seriously to indulge in laughter. The big
gorilla and orang-outang are not much for
laughing but do 1t often enough to prove
that 1t is a scientific fact that the big
monkeys laugh as much like an African
savage as that barbaric individual laughs
like the fashionable folk of Newnort and
Long Island.
r But while It is known that many animals
and birds can laugh more or less like hui
man beings, the expression of grief is con-
fined to even fewer animals, in SO far as
weeping from grief is concerned. The dog,
horse, COW, deer and perhaps some few
other animals can and do weep from
grief, but these are all of which the fact
has been positively established. On many
occasions horses, deer, cows and dogs have
been seen to weep from causes that were
plainly evident and would have similarly
influenced human beings under like condi
tions.
Anger is shown by all animals, as are
also hate and fear. Gratitude and affection
is shown by every one of the higher forms
of animal creatures. Memory is shown by
all well-developed animals. The ability to
weep and the ability to laugh just as hu-
man beings do however, Is confined to the
small classifcations of animals named
previously.

SEVEN JURORS SECURED.
Majority Now Accepted in Haywood
Case.

Boise, Idaho, May 27.-From pres
ent indications it would seem that an
other week must elapse before the
taking of testimony can begin in the
trial of William d. Haywood, first Of
the alleged elmer circle" of the West
ern Federation of Miners.
The jury may be completed Friday
evening or Saturday. In either event
it is probable that the attorneys for
the state will ask for an adjournment
until Monday morning in order that
the opening address or statement of
the prosecutions case may immediate
ly be followed by supporting evidence.
The people of Boise, busy with the
social and commercial activities of
their prosperous little city and never
wildly excited about the trial, have
become less interested than ever be-
cause of the delay in securing a jury.
