Americana Odd Craze.

Some Americans have an odd craze
for believing that the rightful heirs of
British peerages are Americans kept
out Of their own" One Of these queer
people asks me whether Jemima, the
heiress of the Macdougal line of Earls
Of Tobermory. was not really a daugh-
Ter of Queen Mary? Was not James
vi. son of fat old Lady Reres, not
of Queen Mary? The present Duke of
Tobermory is descended from the fifth
son of the earl of 1715. But what be-
came of the fourth son? The peerages
say that he died young without Off
spring. But did he not escape to
America" and is he not the Thomas
Robertson who married fair colonist
in 1870. and is not a certain Robert
thompson the son of this Thomas Rob-
ertsOn, and are not his descendants
earls of Tobermory and kings of Scot
land? Will not get at the family pa
pers, now kept in Melrose abbey, and
clear the matter up? The names l here
alter, out all this tissue of nonsense is
solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes
In the hope that some possible ]. P.
Robertson is Duke of Tobermory.-

Arthur Boyd looked at Naoma. Her

The blond man, with a faint, insinu-

his hat. He raised it just high enough
to expose slight badness. then settled
it carefully upon his head again.

Arthur Boyd received an expression

You are ready in good time" Hamp-
ton spoke to Naoma in a voice that
was as genteel as his dress. Il just

These words sent chill over Boyd.
He drew back a little.

voice was firm. something quite urg-

smiled up at Hampton.

as he advanced again to her side
But Hampton drew himself up, and
his face grew pink. He flashed a saw

genteel voice. Then he took her arm
with the air that all was settled.
But Naoma drew back and surveyed
him in frank establishment.
THE decorator can wait better than

ask you to excuse me-"
The pink in Hampton's face changed
to crimson, and he breathed hard.
"Naoma, what is this that's important
enough to interfere with a plan that
was made weeks ago? l demand an
explanation"
The girl was angry. Come" she
said to Boyd. and he felt that things
were evened up by the look she gave
the recent recipient Of her intimate
smile.

strong, dark young man who came for

A Custom of the Yuma Indians,

Burning the dead. as observed among
the Yumas. is interesting The body is
first thoroughly wrapped and then
placed on logs and brush over a hole in
the ground A bed of logs is built up
at each side and at the head of the
bier, which is next covered over and
strewn about with dry fagots. The
flames are applied. and while they
burn the clothing. blankets. ETC., of the
deceased are added to the fire. The
horse of the dead man, however, is not
burned among the Yumas, as is the
custom with some Indians. A day or
two after death the wigwam of the de-
ceased, if an adult, is burned, the rest
OF the family then going to live with
some relative. The Yumas make a
great show Of sorrow over their dead.
Later they are never mentioned at all.

=: Bargains In Old Furniture -

men are sharp buyers and many of the
shops prefer to deal with private per-
sons. 1t is this fact that gives the
ordinary householder a chance to OBJ.

| The small dealer buys at absurdly
low prices and he makes a large profit
even when he sells the purchaser a
genuine bargain. The purchasers saw
ing as a matter of fact depends main

| cheap in the rough.
Honest dealers in finished antiques
set a price on their articles by adding
to the cost of the thing in the rough.
the actual cost of repairs and fair
percentage in addition to cover the
cost of interest, storage and the like.
If you buy your article low and have
! it done up by an honest cabinet maker
you will get it a good deal below the
price of a similar article in the shop of
a trustworthy dealer in antiques and
very much below the price of the
smart dealer who is on the lookout for
victims
Only the Ever vigilant.
Only the ever watchfu1 furniture
fancier picks up bargains at the shops
of the dealers in second hand house
hold goods, for not only is there a host
of other persons on the same errand,
but in the shops neglected by experts
the dealers are in such a hurry to
turn over their money and get rid of
their stock that few articles remain
long on hand. The small dealers have
very little capital and cannot afford
to hold their stock long, so they or
dinarily let it go to the first corners
who will pay fair price.
Now and then a dealer develops
misery streak and boards his better
purchases 1t is worth while to rum
mage the stock of such a man, for al
most anything may come to light.
There is no more dangerous habit
for the man or woman of modest means
than hunting the shops of the regular
dealers in antique furniture, for the
temptation to buy is almost irresisti-
BILE and in a few weeks one may COM
nit a dozen extravagances. Once the
fever of collecting gets into the blood
the victim will impOverish himself for
the pretty things that take his foncy.
But to haunt the obscure little sec
ond hand shops, where one comes
across a good thing perhaps once
week or possibly only once a month,
leads to waste Of nothing but time. If
a man has leisure this form of amuse-
ment has great charm.
He soon gets to have a quick eye

Some thousands of women in New
York are always on the lookout for
bargains in old furniture.
| Bargains at the regular antique
shops are rare and they are picked up
mostly not by the thousand and one
women with a craze for old furniture
but by men who have expert knOwl
edge. Old pieces, whether in the rough
or refurbished, are seldom sold by the
dealers below their value.
| Almost the only places where the UNI
skilled person can get real bargains III
old furniture are the shops of the deal
ers in secondhand household goods.
These are found in all parts of Man.
haitian from Harlem bridge to Battery
park, and in all the other bOroughs.
! They are especially thick in the ave
nues Of the tenement-hOuse districts,
but they flourish also on the edge of
the fashionable residence districts.
| Many of these little shops have an
arrangement by which they permit
agents of the dealers in antiques to
, see any really good piece of furniture
before it is shown in the general pub
! lie. Other shops display upon the
sidewalk any bit of mahogany that
comes into their hands, and such pieces
are apt to be snapped up Immediately
by the dealers in antiques.
Some of the shops. however. do
neither of these things, but put ma
hogany, rosewood and the like into
their general stock 1t is at such shops
that bargains are to be occasionally
, had.
For the most part the dealers knowl-
edge does not extend much beyond the
kind of wood in a piece of furniture.
and his knowledge of woods does not
extend much beyond oak, maple, ma
hogany and rosewood. 1t might ne
supposed that a dealer in secondhand
household goods whose customers are
mainly tenement-hOuse jewellers would
never get hold of anything save cheap
credit house articles in more Or less
damaged condition. Such. indeed, is
the bulk of his stock, but now and
then better things turn up in the null
titude.
Buys for Song.
Sometimes he buys for little or noth-
ing the household goods of a family
not long from the country, and such
purchase is as like as not to include
bit of neglected and half-ruined old
mahogany. Like articles fall into the
lands of the dealers from other sourc-
es, and perhaps there is hardly one
such dealer who does not two or three
times a year buy a piece of fine wood.
Most Of the shops are watched pretty
