his hands, raised his eyes, and said:

eagles, and with 1t the following let

"The woman on the face of this

COLLECTING Good Art,

Genuine works of art are daily
growing scarcer, and l am pleased to
note that Americans no longer acquire
the trash Of Europe" remarked Henry
J. Duveen of London and New York
to New York Telegram reporter.
1.-THE people Of this country are Just
as particular now in collecting exam
pies of art as are Europeans. In pur-
chasing valuable art objects they show
remarkable experience and wisdom.
The collections in this country now
include some of the rarest and richest
examples of art in existence, and Eu-
rope casts envious eyes at the collec-
tons of Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Widener,
Mrs. Gardner, Mr.. Walters and 9th
ers.
"The museums here own some OF the
most magnificent specimens of art in
the world, and their collections will
soon rival those in London, Paris and
elsewhere"

Good for the Clothiers.

The more the parade is made up Of
civilians, the more the suits of ready.
made clothes we SELL" said a clothier
Most men who parade the streets
want new suit to strut around in.
The chances are that the observers
along the line of march are not going
to pay much attention to the clothes
worn by any man who is not in uni
form, and, anyway, by the time a man
has walked three or four miles in the
dust nobody could tell whether he had
on a new suit or not, but each individ-
ual marcher is conscious of his ap-
pearance and he insists upon making
the best possible showing. Dealers in
ready-made clothing keep track of the
parades in prospect, for they know
that each one of them means big
run on new suits"

Why Guest at Banquet Sought Knife
That Was Blunt.

A. j. Drexel Biddle, whose original
and brilliant mind, coupled with his
wealth, youth and high social position
has made him for some years one OF
Philadelphia's most prominent figures,
was talking at York about boxing.
Every man should know how to
box" said Mr.. Drexel Biddle, who is
one Of the best amateur boxers in
America I'm the case of attack by
pickpockets, or in defense Of lady,

etiquette, who once sat beside me at a
public dinner.
Il noticed that this man, as soon as
he was seated, took up one by one the
knives at the right Of his plate, and
began to try their edges on his thumb.

Bird SHARING In Connecticut

Reports from hunters who have
made trips to different points where
game usually can be found indicate
that sharing has prevailed this season
to greater extent than ever before.
Evidence is abundant in any locality
frequented by game, the telltale snare,
not unfrequently still holding its prey,
being dumb but sure witness that
lawbreakers are numerous and are al.
most thoughtless in their holiness.
Some idea Of the magnitude of this
law-breaking work in this state may
be gained from the fact that one man
alone had shipped some 800 birds to
another state within few weeks after
the close season was on.-Hartford

A MisIald COLONY,

The government Of France has mis-
laid a colony, and the government OF
Mexico has found 1t.
It is Clipperton island, little isle
In the Pacific ocean, ten degrees north
and 100 degrees longitude west. It Is
one of a large group Of islands which
is visited periodically by French
warship.
Some time ago, when the warship
visited the island, the French sailors
found soldiers there in Mexican uni
form, and the Mexican flag floating
sersnely over the island.
The island Is directly east of the
mouth Of the Panama canal, which
gives 1t q certain amount Of impor
lance.
The matter has been placed in the
hands Of the French foreign Office, and
communications are pending" The
warship discovered that the French
government had mislaid the island two
years ago.

CURED Of the commissary officer o.
each ship bill OF fare, prepared q
week in advance, stating Just what
would be served at each meal. This
forwarded through his commanding Of
ficer, came to me and after examina
ton was passed to the paymaster Of
the feet for filing. To be sure that
this bill of fare was followed, and
the food properly prepared and
served, frequently went on board
some ship Of the feet without any
previous notice and directed the cap
. tain to have a table set for me on
the mess deck among the men, and
there, in company with the members
OF my staff and the captain and COM
missary officer Of the ship, took my
dinner The meal was served to US
exactly as 1t was to the men and moth
ing was permitted on the table which
they did not have, Is the declaration
OF Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, in
his navy articles in Hampton's Broad
way Magazine
On one occasion | took the president
to dine in this way with the crew Of a
battleship, and he had a most enjoy.
able dinner. The captain was shocked
that the president had no napkin to
wipe his mouth on, and proposed to
send for one, but l assured him that
would not permit one on the table.
This custom of mine, like some other
OF my performances, would have
turned the captain Of 80 years ago
white-headed. However that may be,
1t convinced the men, and also the
commissary officer, that intended to
see that those under my command
should be properly fed, and the first
erect was to stop a vast amount of
growing and discomfort in the fleet.

FISH CARRIES frs OWN SAIL.
HOSTS or Lowers II at VIII and Navi-
gates Shallow South. Pacific Waters.


Few marine animals seem at first
glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellyfsh. Up with the tide and
down with the tide, carried along by
this or that current, moving with the
eddy Of a backwater hither and thith-
err, the jellyflsh has become almost a
synonym for helplessness.
Scientifically, Of course, the pop
ular idea of the jellyfsh is wholly
mistaken; but 1t is perhaps only in
tropical waters that he is found In the
perfection Of intelligence. In the
South Pacific, around the islands Of
Polynesia, and as far south as the
upper portion Of the North island Of
New Zealand there is a jellyfsh who
not only knows where he wants to 90
but Is even provided with A sail which
he can and does hoist or lower at
will. The sail, like the rest Of this
curious animal, is almost transpar-
ent. but unlike the body Of the fish.
which is Of the usual gelatinous con-
struction, the sail is membrane al
most as hard as shell.
Roundabout the Ellice group the
navigating fish is often found with q
saif measuring five inchls across, and
he navigates the shallow island waters
with the skill Of Hooghly pilot,
steering in and out Of shaggy places
and avoiding distractions both above
and below the surface with unerring
skill. Like his cousins in home waters
this navigating jellyfish has the power
OF singing its natural enemies, and
its sting is fatal to fish and dangerous
to man.
