Promise to Have Great Vogue Abroad
 This Winter.

Diabolo teas, which, as stated in the Express, are the fashion among visit ors and residents in Switzerland, are likely to follow the little "devel on two sticks" to England. Experts agree that the diabolo tea will be the most popular form of entertain ment this winter, and will easily beat the record of pingpong suppers or book and theatrical teas. It will pro- vide the hostess who must economize with an excellent method of dispens- ing hospitality. To be successful, however, every detail must be sent on cards cut in the shape of the diabolo bobbin, and a miniature diabolo set should be painted across one corner. A small prize must be offered for the most successful diabolist, the most suitable gift being one of the tiny charms in the shape of a bobbin which can now be bought They are male in gold or silver, and set with a cat's-eye stone, which is supposed to bring luck. A box to hold the prize may easily be made of cardboard In the shape of bobbin, and covered with a piece of brooade or silver pa per.-London Express.

Fortune-teIlers In Egypt.

Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly.
 Everywhere in Egypt one will find fortune-tellers, but no city boasts more for its size than Luxor. Those who read the future with sand are in the majority. They sit cross-lesged on tAe ground and mutter preliminary jar gon. Finally they lift up the sand, and as 1t triclles through their fingers they claim to see the life of their pat ron revealed. AS none of the prognos- ticators speaks English, and 1t falls to the lot of the dragoman to translate 1t Is difficult to place the credit of shrewd guessing where 1t belongs. At Luxor, as in all cities along the Nile. water for domestic purposes Is carried from the river by the women and young girls, and no more interesting phase of everyday life Is seen in Egypt than the evening procession of trailing-robe ed figures. many of which now carry large Standard oil cans instead of picturesque jars upon their heads. The hotels Of Luxor are all situated on the river bank, within a few yards of the water, and it is the delight of the guests to sit, on the broad verandas and watch the natives who bring up water to irri- gate the lawns and to sprinkle the dusty roads.

Three lhlngs Congress Should Do.

JdSPcl III 1CoAiO D WOONiS'
 It Is not too much to say that If, at the approaching session of Con- gress a decided tendency to conserva- tive action be disclosed the whole country will breathe easier and bus mess will be better everywhere. What the country wants Is rest and a chance to recuperate. If Congress will hold a short and business-like session, and if conservative candidates for the pres idency are nominated next summer, 1t will only need a good outlook for the crops to start things booming ence more and to bring us back some of the wonderful prosperity that has so rapidly vanish ed. Every good citizen should get on the back of his congress- man and insist on the prompt sup pression of further attempts to legis- late against the interests of our great industries and our great railroads. The first thing that Congress sh ould do is to give us an elastic currency; second, 1t should repeal the odious. imperfect, and unjust Sherman antitrust law, and, finally, it should carry out the recommendation of the President, to permit the pooling of railway earnings under proper supervision. If Congress would do these three things, pass It's appropriation bills and adjourn. every one would be happy, and we would have more of prosperity and less of the soup- house.

The Origin of Profanity.
From Harper's Magazine.

From ftarper'S s Magazine.
 One proposition there Is which needs to be stated emphatically at this point. Words and phrases which are amply sufficient for the understanding are often altogether inadequate for the expression of the feelings The result of this mental dissatisfaction with the communication of mere knowledge Is most conspicuously Illustrated in the wide prevalence of profanity. Into the discussion of this practice it's moral and religious aspect does not enter at all. It Is purely from the linguistic side that 1t Is here to be considered So looked at. Its existence and the ex- tent of the indulgence in 1t bear out the truth of the principle just an- nounced. Whatever intellectual justi- fication there may be for profanity Is based upon the fact that men are aim ing to state strangly what they feel strongly. The habit Is. in consequence, subject to the general law governing intensives. To very great extent tho practice of swearing Is specially char acteristic of a rude and imperfect civ- ilization. With the advance of culture profanity declines. It declines not so much because men become peculiarly sensitive to its viciousness, but they do to it's inefectiveness. The growth of refinement both In the individual and in the community tends more to it's disuse than all the exhortations or moralists or the rebuke of divines. Much must always be allowed in the case of particular persons for the in- fluence of early training and associa- ton. Exceptions are, therefore, too numerous to lay down any positive rule; still, 1t is safe to say in general that a mans intellectual development is largely determined by the extent of his Indulgence in profanity No one, indeed doubts its wide prevalence at

Railroads Now Out of Politics.

The measures against the roads which have been proposed have all been placed on the statute books. and tn ere Is nothing more for the roads to fight against All the leg islation in that direction which the people have asked for has been grant ed. The roads, therefore, have noth- ing further to fear or hope from the state and national lawmakers. and are now giving their whole time to their Legitimate business of handling the traffic as expeditiously and cheaply as possible. and for putting their facil- ities at the service of the public.

A Greek and the King.

From the Le Cri de Paris
 Some months ago the King of England received at his palace of Sandrngham the King of Greece, who was accom- panied by one of his young aids-de-camp. AS Edward VII. was doing the honors, exhibiting his gallery. and his guest was admiring bust of q young woman, the charming work of the sculptor, Thorny, croft, the King was much surprised at an explosion of sobs. It was the young cap tain who was weeping and who excused himself In these words: "Will your majesty pardon me? This bust Is the per feet image of a sister whom l loved most tendery. It recalls to me loss, alas, never. to be forgotten
 "In@ hat case" responded the King, greatly moved, permit me to offer it to you"
 And through the care of Sir Francis
