KNOWN AS CHILDREN'S QUEEN
Wife Of Italian Monarch Popular
Among Subjects for Her
Tender Qualities.

The queen of Italy, whom the
whole world honors for the heroism
she displayed at the time of the
earthquake which destroyed Messi-
ma, is so devoted to children that
she has earned herself the name of
''The Children's Queen" She is a
most devoted mother, and when her
first child, Princess Yolanda, ap-
peared upon the scenes she was much
criticised by the grandes DANES of
the court for her objection to some
of the old Italian customs hitherto
observed in royal nurseries. One of
these customs was to bind up the
royal infants in tight swaddling
clothes. These Queen Elena quickly
did away with, saying: "Babies' legs
were made to kick with, and my
baby shall be free to kick" Though
Queen Elena is now the mother OF
four children, she is as much inter
ested in little folks in general as
ever she was and on June 1, Prin-
cess Yolanda's eighth birthday, she
seemed to deserve her title of "The
Children's Queen" more than ever,
for on that day some 400 of the
Messina refugee children, now in
charitable institutions in Rome,
were received at the palace.

AATPINS ARE MURDERCJs
Eyes Put Out and Victims Other
wise Manned by Them
in Paris.

Hatpins urge on their murderous
career. The other day an engineer
sitting outside the bus which plies
along the chief boulevard had his
eye put out. A lady beside him,
from whose hat a stiletto protruded,
was thrown against him by the bus
stopping suddenly, and the point
of the weapon pierced his eyeball.
Since then a shopgirl at a large
Diapers was manned in the same
way by a customer who knocked up
against her in the usual crush of a
bargain sale. Only the other day IN
a bus, a baby's cheeks was torn by
the hatpin of a neighbor as the child
was being carried by its mother. The
Paris Underground, which throws
its passengers about like peas in a
pan, is the scene of daily accidents
of the kind, and every person stand
ing next to a lady with a fashionable
hat goes in fear of his life, or, at
least, of his eyesight. 1t seems that
the truly paternal German police
have issued stringent regulations,
involving severe penalties upon the
wearers of murderous hatpins. The
Paris police, jealous of its reputa-
ton for forethought, is busy Gin
vestigating the NATTER" with a view
to laying down a set of efficient rules
for the protection of the public. No
definite scheme has yet been draft
ed, but the proposal most favored
is one for rendering it compulsory
for the wearers of a hatpin the point

RURAL POSTAL SERVICE.

Seldom has a sapling grown to 4
tree in the time in which that young
oh-shoot Of the postofice department,
the rural delivery system, has attained
Its full dimensions, says the Balti-
more American. The development of
the system that found its inception
In Carroll county in this state, has
been a marvel of public convenience.
Up to the present time the service
has cost the government $170, 600, 900,
and the third year has not yet ex-
PRED of the time of it's full adoption.
1t now numbers daily 20,000,0 900 pa
irons and covers 40,91s routes. The
advantage of the service and the ex-
tensions 1t has made to the postal IA
ciiities have done more than any 9TH
er n thing, aside from modern meth
DDS OF transportation and the tele-
phone and telegraph, to promote intel
ligence in the country and to break the
isolation of country districts. Yet
when the service was started 1t was
bitterly opposed for interested motives
and the people whom it was designed
to serve lamented the innovation.

EAST AND WEST.

At the recent convention of adj
vertising men in Louisville, KY, one
of the delegates who lives in the west
told a story Of having met a man
from New York.
"Where are you from?" inquired
the New Yorker.
Los Angeles" said the man from
California.
ooh, I see," exclaimed the Empire
state inhabitant. $50 you're from
the west. Well, I've been west some
myself. Now last year I was out as
far as Cleveland and stopped a
while at Pittsburg. 1 was all around
out west"
els that SOP" said the man from
Los Angeles with a great show of in
terest. "Well, I was up east myself
not so very long ago. I was in Den
yer and Salt Lake City and all
around. It's strange we didn't meet"

WHY "YOURS SINCERELY
oriuin of the Customary Finish Of
Letter Goes Back to Roman
Times.

Have you ever reflected, when you
finish up your letter "Yours sincere
ly, John Smith," why you do so, or
whence came the origin of this epis-
tolary method of subscribing to your
state of mind in regard to any par
ticular correspondent? Well, if you
subscribed yourself "Yours without
wax, John Smith," it would amount
to the same thing. Here's how:
When the Roman jurymen re-
turned their verdicts they usually
did so on a wax tablet. In cases:
however, where the verdict was
overwhelmingly in favor of a per-
son on trial for any offense they
were allowed to give their verdict
"Sine cera," that is to say, without
wax, or without going to the for
mality of inscribing their verdict on
the wax tablet (cera). So, when
you subscribe yourself "Yours sim
cerely" to a person you mean-
when you are serious, of course
that your regard for him is above
board. "Yours faithfully" is the
business style; "Yours truly" the
usual form; and yours, etc." the
most objectionable of epistolary
atrocities, according to the unwrit-
ten code.
Even a cabinet minister, when
writing to you in the official style,
will subscribe himself "Your obedi-
ent, humble servant" A Frenchman
will tell you that she remains with
especial sentiments of the highest
consideration" your Jules LIE Mou-
ton. A Chinaman will say, Fare
well, most favored of heaven. May
the gods preserve your honorable
teeth."-Tit-Bits.

NOVEL RAILWAY PLAN.

One of the great trans-continental
railroads is planning to plant its
right of way from the Missouri
river to the Pacific with alfalfa. At
each edge of the right of way also
will be planted a row of pine trees
alternating with elms, there being a
tree at intervals of every two rods.
As the alfalfa becomes green early
in the spring and remains so until
late in the fall, the ornamental eff
feet should be pleasing. Further
more, it is claimed that the grass
and trees will furnish, in certain To-
calities, a protection against snow
drifts and washouts.

BOBBY'S PHILOSOPHY.

Bobby's father and mother were
dressing to 60 to the theater and
the youth was greatly distressed be-
cause he was not to be included in

"Why can't l 60, too?" he whim-
pered.

sEAMEN SCARCE IN ENGLAND.

Ten years ago it was estimated
that while during the preceding half
century the British merchant tom
mage had almost trebled, the num-
Der of British seamen engaged in
the mercantile marine had decreased
by rs per cent. and the boys and
young men by IS per cent. In 1857
there were 96,914 petty officers and
sailors, not including Lascars, en-
ployed in the mercantile marine of
the United Kingdom; in 1875 it
was estimated that there were 49,
900; in 1889 the estimated number
had fallen to 60,709, while in 1901
there were only 1920.

HAS BURNED FOR CENTURIES.

There is a fire in Siam that never
goes out. 1t lasts not only for
years, but has what has been aptly
termed "lineal descendants" It is
to be found in a Buddhist temple
near Bangkok, where every fourth
year, at a certain period, the priests
light a fresh fire in a big brazier.
This flame is kept alive for four
years, and is in turn extinguished
after supplying a brand to ignite its
successor. AS this practice has OBJ
tanned for upward of two centuries,
the Buddhist fire at Bangkok is, in q
sense, the oldest in the world.

THE GROWTH OF CITIES.

At the first American census only
six cities reported a population of
approximately 5000 inhabitants.
Compared with this number, in 1900
there were 2S6 cities and towns in
the same area having a population
of 5000 or more. In Rhode Island
alone, the smallest of all the states,
there we're more cities of 5000 in
habitants than there were in the en-
tire United States in 1890.
