Election to the exclusive clubs Of
Paris is 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 ali 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 ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the first day as 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 hss ceased to be stranger and may
leare his hat in the hall, but he is still
expected to go around the room with
one Of his proposers and be formally
introduced. This lasts for week, by
which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues, though foreigner who
is extra punctilious and insists on be-
ing introduced to every member OF the
club gains considerably in popularity

stead Would Avert War.

William T. Stead, the famous English
editor, has recently arrived in this coun-
try, where he expects to make stay OF
several weeks, partly for the purpose Of
attending the peace conference at New
York. In a newspaper interview NJ.
Stead expressed himself as strongly in
favor of the united action of Great Brit
ain and the United States in the coming
Hague conference toward disarmament,
and the promotion of international amity.
He particularly urged the carrying into
effect Of article 8, which was unanimously
recommended by the former conference.
This would treat a dispute between two
nations the same as a dispute between two
individuals, and recommends that before
proceeding to hostilties each party should
call in a special mediator, corresponding
to a second in a private duel who should
be allowed period of not exceeding thir-
ty days in which to settle the dispute. III
such a procedure had been followed, he
said neither the South African nor the
Russo-Japanese war would have broken
out when it did.

In the early morning, when the doc

PASSING OF "LAGNAPPE."
~%%~%NN~~/

BY agreement among the retail deaf
ers of New Orleans, says writer in
the New York Evening Post, the time
honored institution of "lagnappe' has
been abolished since the beginning of
the new year. The word means some
thing given ION the SIDE" gratis, to
customer. 1t comes from the Spanish
American word napa, which means TO
boot"
No matter how small the purchase,
something had to be added 'for lag
name" Generally this som-thing was
small delicacy-a piece OF candy,
for example. Increasing competition
and never-decreasing greed made the
shopkeepers devise all sorts of schemes
for keeping up the custom with the
smallest possible cost.
The children, who have been eager
to run errands in the past just for the
sske of the reward found in lagnappe,
suffered from this deterioration Of the
custom to such an extent that the
hoard of health finally had to interfere.
And 1t was at the instance of the au-
thorities that the retail dealers at last
decided to take the revolutionary step
of abolishing lagnappe entirely.
Complaints have already been heard
from numerous mothers that hereafter
1t will be very bard to get the children
to do the errand-running. But that the
change Is for the better, no sensible
person will be likely to doubt.
The custom thus wiped out was pc
culIar to New Orleans only through It's
particular form and by reason of the
frmness with which it was established
as an undeniable right Department
stores which give trading stamps are
simply doing in another way what the
merchants of New Orleans have been
doing for more than q century.
The same Custom was common In
northern Europe as late as the seven
ties IT dates back to the days of plain
barter, when it served as a sop to the
feelings of the party who had the los
ing end Of trade.

Central American republics and the establishment Of
stable government but all efforts hitherto bring this
about have been futile and, while it eventually be
accomplished the time of its attainment Is probably
remote.
