Election to the Most Exclusive OneA
IL Serious Business.
Election to the exclusive clubs Of
Paris is a very serious business. The
proposer and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates. but
be able to bear witness to their ante
cedents and even to their forefathers.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their candi-
dates. When the election takes place,
they must not only be In the room, but
approach each member individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ash
him for his support.
When the member has been elected.
he arrives the first day as a kind of
stranger and with his hat In hand. He
is then formally introduced by one Of
his proposers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be in the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be a stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall. but be is still
expected to go round the room with
one Of his proposers and be formally
introduced. This lasts for a week, by
which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues, though a foreigner who
is extra punctilious and insists on be
ing introduced to every member Of the
club gains considerably in popularity.

The Pathetic Career of John stow,
the English Antiquary.
John Stow. the celebrated English
antiquary, was a remarkable man. He
was born of poor parents about 1925
and brought up to the tailor's trade.
For forty years his life was passed
among needles and thread, but In the
few leisure hours which his trade al
lowed him he had always been fond
reader of legends, chronicles, histories
and all that told of the times that
were past. By such reading he grew
to be so attached to old memoirs that
when about forty years Of age he
threw down his needle, devoted him
self to collet ting them and followed
his new profession with the faith and
enthusiasm Of an apostle. Short Of
means, he made long journeys afoot
to hunt over and ransack colleges and
monasteries, and, no matter how worn
and torn might be the rags Of old pa
pers which he found, he kept all, re-
viewing, connecting, copying, compar-
ing, annotating, with truly wonderful
ability and good sense. Arrived al
fourscore years and no longer capable
of earning a livelihood, he applied tc
the king, and James l., consenting tc
his petition. granted to the man who

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character. offered NJ. Dau-
det a large sum for advance sheets OF
the work He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book, and they cabled to the author,
. 'sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet He consulted with
numbers OF friends, and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: '-Sappho'. in French Is spelled
with one ''p'-"Sapho." after the Greek
fashion. In English It Is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet, which much re-
lieved the novelist and he cahled back
to the publishers. Spell II with two
p's.- 1t is needless TO state that the
publishers were more astOnished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch

LOVE CHARMS.
Some OF the queer superstitions That
Live In Sicily.

Some Of the queer Superstftionn That
Live In sicily.
The love charms of Sicily are many
and curious. One, very popular and
considered very powerful, is to put
into an eggshell few drops Of the
blood of the longing lover. The shell
Is exposed to the sun for three days
and to the dew for three nights. 1t is
then placed on hot ashes until calclned.
when the whole is reduced to a fine
powder and administered secretly in
Q cup of coffee or glass Of wine to
the object of affection.
Another charm is for the witch to
undress at midnight and tie her clothes
up In bundle which she places on
her head. Then, kneeling In the cen
ter Of her room, she pronounces an In
cantation. at the end Of which she
shakes her head. If the bundle falls
In front of her, 1t Is a good sign; should
It fall behind her, the charm viii not
avail
Yet another is worked in the follow
ing manner: Pieces Of green, red and
white ribbon are purchased in three
different shops, the name of the per
sons to be charmed being repeated
mentally each time. The shopkeeper
must be paid with the left hand, the
ribbon being received in the right
When all the pieces are bought they
are taken to a witch, who sets out to
find the person to be charmed. On
finding him or her the witch mutters
to herself, with these ribbons bind
you to such a one" Then she returns
the ribbons to the purchaser, who ties
them beneath his or her left knee
and wears them at church.-Macmil-
lan's.

From the Bountlrul East.

A small proportion Of the dora Is in.
digenous. The majority came from
the east, like all the great ideas on
which our culture Is founded. and were
developed and improved on this classic
soil. Italy received the lemon and
the orange from the Semites. who In
their turn had obtained them from
India. The olive. the lg. the vine and
the palm were grown by the Semitss
long before their cultivation penetrat
ed to the west. The laurel and myr-
tie, indeed, are indigenous In Italy, but
their use for ceremonial purposes came

The Cords Worn by tine Inree Castles
of the HindOOS.

The Cords Worn by tine Inree Cast6B
of the HindOOs.
The sacred thread of the Brahmans IL
well known. 1t Is caste distinction
assumed at an early age and never
parted with. 1t must be made by a
Brahman and should consist of three
strands, each Of different color, for
ty-eIght yards in length, doubled and
twisted together twice, the ends tied
in knots. 1t must be worn next the
skin, over the left shoulder, hanging
down to the thigh on the right side.
The three castles of the Hindoos are
distinguished by the material of these
threads-cotton for the Brahmans
hemp for the warriors and wool for the
artisans. The Parsees also wear the
sacred thread, and boys of seven or
nine are invested with 1t, the threads
used being made always Of fbers of
the suru tree. Monier Williams de-
scribes the sacred girdle of the Par
sees as made of seventy-two wooden
threads, forming a fat band, which is
| twined three times around the body
and tied in two peculiar knots, the Sc
cret of which is known only to the
Parsees.

.yf several months, spent mostly In the
West Mr. Gurley is in excellent health
and spirits. and stated last night that he
was glad To get back 10 Washington.
where he had spent so many busy years
Mr. Gurley said that he had returned to
the city TO straighten out his somewhat
tangled financial affairs He will consult
with his attorney to-day and map out a
plan OF meeting his Indebtedness, which,
he said, would probably be found salts

banker said he did not care to go into
particulars at this time; indeed, he had
not formulated his plans so that he could
do so. lie said tnat within very short
time arrangements would be made TO
meet his obligations. and then he would
make formal statement of his plans
through the press
The firm Of Gurley & Johnson became
iusolvent about four years ago and went
out Of business The two partners sought
other fields of enterprise, Mr.. Gurley
opening Il small brokers Office I'm the
building occupied by the Washington
Stock Exchange. Early last summer Mr.
GurIey suddenly disappeared. and his
whereabouts for several weeks was .un-
known. even 70 The members of his
family.
After few days it was learned, through
a statement issued by one o. the sons of
Mr.. Gurley, that his business affairs had
become entangled, and that he was in
solvent TO the amount OF about 5000. II
was said al the tine that Alr. GuTiey s
absence was only temporary. and that he
had gone away 10 arrange matters so that
he could make a settlement Some time
later il was learned that Mr.. Gurley had
gone from Washington 10 the country

from there TO some point in the West.
lie was heard from in Chicago and other
Western cities, but his whereabouts was
more or less of secret until his return

Last night Mr. Gurley said that he pre-
ferred not TO give the itinerary of his
travels at present. as that was merely
a personal matter He had, however, been
well, and was now enabled TO come back
and face the question of his financial OBJ
