Meeting Eyebrows.

The person whose eyebrows meet
may rest content in the knowledge that
he is the possessor Of vigorous con-
stitution. The growth Of hair above
the nose is. as a rule, q fairly sound
proof Of good health. That is what the
scientists tel! you. but the superstitious
have much more to say.
IN the northern part of Aberdeen
shire there is common belief that a
''close broo't' man. or one whose eye
Drows meet, is foredoomcd to end q
wicked career on the scatfold. This
may be compared with the view held
in parts of the English midlands that
the close browed person is destined for
fume and fortune
On the continent there are several
superstitions on this subject. The eye
b:ows of gypsies are often formed in
this way, a fact which they turn to
good account. for in many parts it is
believed that the owner of meeting
eyebrows is also the possessor of what
is called the evil eye and therefore a
person whose good will must at all
costs be retained. The gypsies. espe
cially in Germany and Austria. use
this belief to extract considerable sums
Of money from the credulous peas

pear recently discovered by Albert 1.

The tree yielded 800 pounds of fruit,

wonder in this part of the northwest.
The pears are of the size of the Bart

The flesh is finely grained and is solid.
The tree is in it's sixth year, it's yield

TENOR UNDER ARREST ON STAGE
Allowed to Sing, But Is Followed About
bv Constable.

Boston. Dec. 27.--An element of COM
edy was mingled with the grand opera
at the production of I'll Trovatore" by
the San Carlo Grand Opera Company
at the Majestic theater last night
caused by the presence of a constable
upon the stage to guard Tenor Carlos
Alhani, in the interests Of Oscar Ham
merstein of New York.
Early in the day a sheriff served pa
pers on the tenor in a civil process on
behalf of Hammerstein, who seeks to
recover 1000 paid the singer as adj
vance salary The latter claims that
Albani is under exclusive contract to
him.
Just before the second act was to be
put on last night the constable placed
Albani under arrest on mesne pro-
cess to secure the amount Of his wages
for the week, which Hammerstein laid
claim to. The officer. after consultation
with Manager Russell, consented to al
low the singer to complete the program,
but insisted that he be allowed to re-
main on the stage The constable kept
on his overcoat and hat, and whenever
the singer moved about the stage the
officer followed the audience usually
kissing.

was found and Albani was released

Outlet for Meat Good.

All thru the strenuous financial
times for the past two months no SER
ious complaint has been made about
an insufficient outlet for meat pro-
ducts. This shows that in spite of
hard tines the consumption of meat
has not been materially weakened, but
packers all over the country have be-
come more conservative, and are not
accommodating as much of the product
as usual. The main trouble with the
packers business is that the outlet for
the by-products has suffered a hard
crimp Tanners were not able to get
the usual financial assistance from
banks, and they practically quit buy
ing, except in very limited way. This
caused a stagnation in the hide mar
ket and resulted in an accumulation Of
hides almost unprecedented Hide
values went down surprisingly, and
their depreciation made difference of
about 81 on every steer. Other by
products were just as hard to move,
and the meat trade had to practically
stand the brunt of the whole loss.

and hearings are to be held after the

The Stevens bill is regarded as a
forerunner of a permanent bureau of
transportation which must come soon
er or later to meet the situation.
Secretary of War William II. Taft,
leading candidate for the republican
presidential nomination, will deliver
four speeches in Boston next Monday,
and there is much interest ev1nced as
to what he will have to say. When the
secretary arrived from his trip around
the world he found arrangements all
completed for his New England trip
in conformity with the promises he had
made some time before he left for the
Philippines. Perhaps the most import
ant of the four speeches Will be before
the Elysium club, an organization or
Hebrew citizens, most of whom are
prosperous business men. The secre-
tary, it is expected, will tell them
something of tie existing conditions
in Russia, and how former conditions
have been ameliorated. In some quar-
tiers there have been attempts to criti-
else Taft for MS OHlclal can on inc
car of Russia, but when such
prominent Hebrew association as the
Elysilm club desires him TO speak. 1t
would seem to indicate that such criti-
cism is ill-founded. Secretary Taft
will make speech before the Mer-
chants club of Boston, and will also
deliver an address before the New
England Ministers association. Late in
the evening the young Mems Repub-
lican club, of Boston. will entertain
the secretary, and he will make a brief
address. From all over the country,
Pacific coast, middle west, and north
west, in the south, and along the At
lantc coast come reports from the
leading republicans rendering Taft
their support.

But It Takes Two Detectives to Over

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 26.-Filled
with the fighting spirit of his hero,
Monsieur Beaucaire, Booth Tarking-
ton, in the early hours of Christmas
morning, roundly thumped two of In
dianapolis' guardians of the peace.
incidentally he received a few bumps
himself and finally wound up in the
city prison.
There a desk sergeant with literary
inclinations permitted him to go free
on his own recognizance. after he had
promised to journey straight home
and disturb the peace Of Indiana's
capital no more. This was not until
he had been slated to answer for a
charge of resisting an officer and had
promised to appear in court.
The hearing was to have been held
this morning, but the author was not
to be found, and continuance until
Saturday was granted. In the mean

ing to tell of the writer's prowess when

The EaoIe's Pride Satisfied.

Interest in the proposed nuptial ALI
ance between the daughter OF very
rich American and the scion of an
old and naughty Hungarian house per-
vades social circles In New York. So
ciety in that great city has been con-
ccrned about the status of the bride
in Hungary, her husbands native land.
One of our esteemed contemporaries
in Gotham has made inquiries, with
gratifying results. Thus it is stated
on authority. that "a woman of the
middle class who il legally married to
an aristocrat, even of the highest rank.
enjoys in Hungary precisely the same
privileges as If she were born in her
husbands class. :. The brides many
millions will give her preat privileges
in Hungary where there are not many
multi millionaires." This is reassur-
ing 1t would be inexpressibly humi'i-
atingf to Uncle Sam il one Of his

garians as If she We're a member of
the middle class" The people of the
"middle class in Hungary and in
Austria may he very distinguished and
happy. But 1t is not the class ut
the top. In view of all the circum-
stances. especially the large influx of
American gold into Hungary as the
result of this alliance, it is pleasant to
be assured that bonnie American bride

The eagle could not scream with pride
