Perhaps some expert in the SIAM
csc language will tell US what Is It's
word for sedan chair" When the
King OF Slams Ministers, protesting
against his Majesty's favor toward
motoring, suggested recently that
"the royal sedan chair" was always
at his disposal. It is improbable that
they used a word reminiscent OF the
French town.
For 1t is from the scene OF Napo-
leon Ills collapse that the sedan
chair takes its name. and perhaps
remote posterity will suppose that 1t
had some connection with that event.
But sedan first produced these con-
yeyances centuries ago, and they
we're seen in England In 1881. One
used by James Is Buckingham
provoked great popular outcry against
the employment OF men as beasts Of
burden. Sir s. Duncombe Is credited
with having introduced them to Lon
don In 1334.-Loudon Chronicle.

Just because everything depends

wardness OF American school chill

comes dogma, then every forward
movement OF serious educational pro-
gress is side-tracked again for long
while. Then there is no one to blame
any more; our women teachers are
then splendidly prepared for their
task; our school children are In the
most excellent frame OF mind for
hard study; the parents make the
most ideal efforts to develop in the
children the sense Of duty and intel
lectual responsibility; and the only
culprit is the treacherous dictionary
maker who does not write blest and
blusht. In short, all that is in future
needed for the thoroughness OF our
school children is that It shall be

Cargoes That Sailors Dislike.

According to the opinion of an old
shell-back, sugar, pine lumber and
coffee are three articles of commerce
that the average Davy Jones cadet
dislikes. They make him wuss'n sea-
sick. A pine cargo soaks a ship and
its contents in turpentine smells, so
that the very drinking water tastes
as IL there was rosin in 1t. Sugar
cargoes ferment and the fumes COM
ing day and night from the hold
causes the severest headaches you can
think Of. But coffee is the worst OF
all. A coffee cargo gives the ships
provisions a sickening coffee taste.

Beau Nash Retorts.

Upon his first going to Bath, Mr..
Quin, the actor, found himself very
extravagantly charged for eatables
and drinkables, as well as for lodging
and washing. At the end OF the first

master OF ceremonies, who had rec
commended Bath as being the cheap

A few nights after, Nash was In

A Rising Chinaman.

An official report states that an
other great man has arisen in China,
one who, by his ability and his
achievements, gives promise Of being
a fit successor to the late Ii Hung
Chang. This new leader in the Celes-
tial Kingdom Is Yuan-Shih-Kai, who
not long ago was appointed president
of the board of foreign affairs at
Pekin. He was formerly viceroy Of
Chih-Li, entering on the duties Of the
office when that province was in dis
order and chaos. He grasped the
reigns of government with a firm

At the Top Notch of Fashion. Patron

Within few years there has been a
remarkable growth of tearooms in
Paris.
For years the only one was Neale's.
Neale long kept the only English book
store in Paris, and over 1t he had a
tearoom, where the English papers
were on file.
Printed injunctions of silence
were hung about, interspersed with
illuminated texts from the Bible. 1t
was most incongruous spot in Paris,
which is singularly ignorant of both
silence and the Bible.
Now, however. English tearooms are
springing up all over Paris. They ex.
list for tea alone. From four to six
English specialties can be obtained,
like toasted mullins and scenes. There
is music, and some of them are exceed
ingly fashionable.
At Rumpermeyer's women dressed by
the great modistes are sent every day
to advertise the toilettes of the house
by wearing them through the tea hours
Even the men are beginning to desert
absinthe and frequent the tearooms in
great numbers.
A curious influence of the new In
stitution upon ancient customs is that
the French woman may go alone to the

in much injury to individual in

perial watermelon crop of the State
was reduced to the humiliating total
of 124.500,OOO melons, and the canta-

And yet, despite these drawbacks,
the producers of this majestic Com

The King can do no wrong, but
there is one innocent thing that no
sovereign ever does-namely.. to
stand with his back against the wall.
At the royal stand at Newmarket or

to pass behind him, so that he may
escape having perpetually to reply to
their salutations, which he would be
