ROYAL MECHANICS.
They Tell Briefly the Story Of Each
KINGS Career.

Kings Career.
How do kings come By the curious
nicknanes that have been bestowed
upon them? would be an interesting
subject for some one to write about.
We know fairly well how England be-
got its Lion Hearted, its Great, Its Con-
fessor and its Conqueror kings, but
how about those OF other lands7 Thus
France has had its monarchs who
were termed the Little, the Bold, the
Stammerer, the Simple, the Indolent
and the Fair, in addition to the Long,
Handsome, Beloved, Affable, Fortunate,
Good, Wise, etc. German history tells
US of one who was called the Fat and
another the Blind; also the Child, the
Fowler, Blood, Red, Black, Superb,
Sharp, holy and Lame. Russia has
had a wonderful list IN which the titles
Of Terrible, Fierce, Lion, Grim, Proud,
Impostor and Light oot are prominent.
Denmark shows q curious array, with
its Blue Tooth, Forked Beard, Single,
Hungry, barefoot, Lamb, Pious and
Cruel. Hungary, has had Saint, Ger
man Thunder, etian and King
Mary; Portugal, Fat, Idle, African
and Perfect; Spain, q Monk and Gouty
and an assortment Of oddities, includ-
ing the 1nfirm. Bad, Noble, Strong,
| Valiant, Gracious. Sickly, Impotent,
Benefcent and Ceremonious. The
names IN q way tell briefly the story Of
each kings career.

THE LIFE PLANT.
10 Curious Leaves and How They Die

10 Curious Leaves and How They Die.
and Bloom Again.
Visitors to Bermuda often bring back
to this country rs a souvenir Of their
trip the leaves Of an interesting plant
tof the house leek family. It Is known
as the life plant, and when the leaves
begin to shrivel and fade they send
ont little shoots which In turn bear
leaves that continue to grow and re-
main fresh and green for months. The
leaves are about four inches long, rich
green in color and Of smooth waxen
texture. II you take one Of the leaves
and pin 1t to the wall indoors, 1t will
begin to sprout within three or four
days, be it winter or summer. At first
the top portion OF the leaf will begin
to wither and shriyel up, and this is
likely to continue until the upper half
has lost Its green color Then tiny
white roots will sprout from the edges,
and in time diminutiYe green leaves
will appear on these. These little OFF
shoots will sometimes grow to be an
inch long and contain several pairs Of
leaves. The limit OF their existence
seems to depend upon the amount Of
heat and light they can obtain. st.

Properties of Gold.

Pure gold is unaffected BY the at
mosphere either at ordinary tempera-
lures or when the metal Is heated. It
Is also proof against the action OF COM
mon acids when used singly. More
over, 1t confers its properties more Or
less upon copper and silver when these
metals are alleged with It. Thus. for
example, twelve carat gold will with
stand the action OF nitric acid and the
atmosphere at ordinary temperature,
but some of the copper will be soxi-
died during annealing. Nine .partssof
gold may be alleged with ten parts Of
platinum In any ordinary crucible and
FIRE, but such an alloy will not be uni
form; a larger proportion Of platinum
will free itself from. the gold on solidi-
fication. and homogeneous alloy OF
the two metals cannot be obtained

Her Astral Spouse.

An unmarried. woman was drawing
dangerously near the threshold Of that
age where the minated must abandon
every. matrimonial hope. Belonging,
as she did, to that large contingent OF
womennto whom marriage represents
the only possible career, her anxiety
as she saw her chances of achieving 1t
dwindling to the vanishing point be-
came keen, and In her distress she be-
gan to seek for comforting reassur-
ances among that fraternity who for a
suitable consideration obligingly offer
to reveal the secrets Of the future.
In the course Of an Interview with
one Of these wise women" she was
told, " dear, you already are mar
rted on the astral plane, and 1t is your
astral husband who is keeping the
earth men away from you.',

Montreal, Ont, May 8. In an effort
TO prove that the Canadian route is
faster than New York for transatlan-
TIC mails the Canadian Government

route during the early summer when
the mails bound from Liverpool to
Montreal take the Cape Race route.
Heretofore during summer navigation
mails have been carried up the st.

all Of the mail steamers are fitted
with the wireless equipment there will
be no difficulty in their getting in

The first steamer to try the new ar.
rangement is the Virginian, which
leaves Montreal tomorrow, and willre

HOW TO TELEPHONE
SOME RULES THAT SHOULD Be
OBSERVED WHEN TALKING
OVER THE WIRE.

One Of the assets Of the man who
does business today is his telephone
voice, provided he knows how to make.
a good impression when he talks over
the wire. All sorts of affairs are now
conducted BY telephone but the i'm
portance Of telephoning in the proper
way is often overlooked by business
men who would on no consid eration5
permit a poorly typewriter letter to
leave their Offices. Take the trouble
TO fix firmly in. your mind half dozen
simple rules, put them in practice and
see II your telephone conversations
are not made Of increased value In
your business. Here are the rules: 81
iS 4 When you are talking by tele-
phone to a person IN your own town
speak In an ordinary tone Of voice.
Do not whisper into the transmitter,
but, on the other hand, do not shout
at the instrument as il you had a
grudge against the telephone system
and everybody who uses the tele-
phone.
# 3. When You are using long dis
lance line elevate your voice and spea,
a little louder than you would speak
to man sitting in the room with you.
I This does not mean, however. that
you should try to make noises as loud
and discordant as those Produced by
the calliope in the circus parade
81 Besides speaking distinctly avoid
talking too fast. There are orators
who reel on words at the rate OF 300
minute and still make themselves
understood but they couldn't do It
by telephone. .t5y
When you z telephone devote
yourself to telephoning. When you
are writing a letter you do not, at the
same timee. look out Of the window
to see who IS going by on the other
side of the street. II you turn your
back on the telephone and send your
words flying hither and yon all over
the room and into the great world
outside, 1t is not fair to blame the
4 apparatus and the man at the other
end Of the line II he does not hear
distinctly all that you say.
s. Remembering rule 4, speak dt
rectly at the transmitter. Don't get

Up TO MAYOR
PUBLIC UTILITY BILL OF NEW
YORK WILL BE HANDED UP 81
TO MCCLELLAN.

Albany, N Y:, May 9.It is not I'M
likely that the Legislature may be
kept until the first Of June and the
public utilities bill be passed this
week It will then have to go to the
Mayor Of New York, and afterwards
to the Governor. The Westminster
Republicans are glad Of the delay Of
the Legislature in adjournment as It
gives them much needed period in
which to agree upon apportionment,
which is the great thorn in the side
of some senators, and which. the Gov
ernor holds as a rod over the mem
bers Of the syndicate that set to work
to defeat the Governor on the Public
Utilities matter.

Master Earl Simpsons
 First Appearance

Master Earl Simpson was big hit at "The DIme" fast night, singing the illustrated song "Smile on Me" to the satisfaction of the large crowd which packed the theatre to the doors. Master Simpson was a trifle nervous but WAS in good voice, and Professor Dolan should put him on the bill oftener as he can deliver the goods' and few public appearances will bring the young man out.
 The pictures are very good especially that of "Dcgs used as Smugglers, |" which shows how we'll dogs may be trained for almost any purpose-"The Dime" we'll merits the large houses that are crowding it nightly.
 Quite a number of people have been asking when the regular theatrical season will open. Unless there is some new booking sooner the regular sea. son will open September l7th.
 Matters are progressing finely for amateur Digbt, and as soon ss the bill is made up complete the date will be duiy announced.

 Just what is the matter at the school is not known. Several large cracks have recently appeared in the waiis and steps viii nave to 1- taken ct once to strengthen them and pre- vent any more breaks occurring.
 It is not thought the building is un- safe, but its condition is becoming alarming.

 George estinghouse, the Pitts burg millionaire, it is said, has made the statement that he will not visit Duquesne camp until he can ride the whole distance to Pi..sbug to the camp in his private car. Already sur veys have been made from Patagonis to Duquesne camp, some 30 miles ovel the mountains, and no Goubt earl, next year will witness the operations incident to the building of a railwa, of the standard gange from Patagonii station to Dugucsne camp.

It is said that if Senator Culberson of Texas is chosen minority leader of the Senate next December he will most likely be given the vacancy on the appropriations com mittee, if he elects to have it. Senator Culberson's more im- portant committee assign ments now are judiciary, Phil ippines, postoffices and post roads, and public buildings and grounds. The vacancy on the appropriation commit tee. left by Senator Berry of Arkansas, is probably the most prized of any of the places op Senate committees left a Democrat.

 "Well, sm one oi the men ycu had run out of Cananes."
 "Yes," said the colonel, "I am on Y sorry that I can't run you out of this town as we'll"
 Friends of the stranger rushed the the man away, and the incident closed but it so impressed Kos:erlitzsky that he got permit from the Los Angeles chief of police to carry a revolver.
