Getting an Autoqraph.

A Munich boy of fourteen. who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seitz's paintings, was anxious to se- cure the painters autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote letter, stat ing that he had sent case of wine to the professors address, and wanted to know whether 1t had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient i'm portance the painter did not write, but called at the address given. met the boys mother, and the fraud soon be- came apparent The boy was thor ougly scolded, and next day received this autograph note:

Nonroyal Headoear.

One of the attaches of the American embassy at London tells a story where in Michael Joseph Barry, the poet. who was appointed police magistrate in Dublin. was the principal figure. There was brought before him an Irish American charged with suspicious con- duct. The officer making the arrest stated, among other things, that the culprit was wearing a Republican hat"
 "Does your honor know what that means" was the inquiry put to the court by the accused's lawyer.
 "It may be-" suggested Barry, "that 1t means hat without a crown."- Harper's Magazine.

Colors of the Stars.

Although there is no relation ap- parent between the two phenomena. yet 1t is interesting to recall the fact that among the stars certain colors ap- pear to characterize different stages of change, or evolution. Red stars. ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope, differ widely in their consti- tuition from white or yellow ones. and 1t has been thought that varying col ors may give clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies. Sirius for instance, is said to have changed from red to white. and some have sus- pected that Arcturus is fading from red toward yellow.

Raitarated.

Edmund Kean was playing in "Rich- ard Ill.," and the part of Catesby had to be taken by low comedian. who sauntered on to the stage at the wrong moment and uttered the famous words. My lord, the Duke of Buck ingham is taken" in the wrong place.
 Edmund clinched his fists in rage. but otherwise took no notice of the re- mark.
 Later the comedian repeated the words in the right place. and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded his arms, walked boldly down the stage and remarked to the great actor in loud tones:

 Were Once Subjected.
 The prank. or scold's bridle. or gos- sips bridle. was neither more nor less than a muzzle. It was in general use in Great Britain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and ill Scot land as we'll women were muZZled for certain offenses, some at least of them more imaginary than real. The instru ment of torture, even dogs leather muzzle, is uncomfortable. How much more the scolds muZzle! It consisted, according to a high authority. Mir. w levitt, of a kind of crown or frame work of iron, which was locked upon the head, and it was armed in front with a gag, plate or sharp cutting knife or point. which was placed in the poor woman's mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue. or it was so placed that if she did move it or at- tempt to speak it was cut in most frightful manner. With this cage up- on her head and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole of lending perhaps was that she raised her voice in defense of her social rights against brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honest truth of some one high in office in her town, was paraded through the streets. led by a chain by the hand of bellman. the beadle or the constable or chained to the pillory. the whipping post or market cross, to be subjected to every conceivable insult and degradation, without even the power left her of asking for mercy or of promising amendment for the future. and when the punishment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been inflicted, maimed, disfigured. bleeding, faint and degraded, to be the subject of comment and jeering among her neighbors.-London Family Her ql6

A QUEER UNIVERSITY.
Cairo Has the Worlds Oldest Eduea-
 t;onaI Institution.

When We think of Harvard or Yale, the fcrmer dating from lG3S and the latter from l701. we think of them as old universities" says Il writer in the American Educa ational Review: but when we pass ;o the other side of the world We discover that even the oldest American Universities are in reality very young institutions.
 "Tha oldest educational institution in the world is thr University of Fl Ashar. Cairo. fGnud.:' I'll the year 9SS by the gr.a: Saf,,i.n 1t Is the central seur of learning for the whole Mo namEfedaH world. as well as a foun- tain of spiritual life. It occupies an ancient mosque in the Arab quarter of Cairo. surrounded by confusing maze of narrow streets where the population is made up of representatives of every race that follows the prophet.
 "The old mosque covers several acres and consists of a series of courts sur rounded by long cloisters with low roofs supported by forests of columns. The floors of red tiles are covered daily by multitude of men and boys, squat ting in semicireles around their teach CTS, who sit with their backs to the columns featuring in monotones.
 "The chancellor of the university is always a descendant of the prophet and Is usually man of ability and learning. He occupies apartments in Fl Ashar and is not only the supreme educational but the ecclesiastical head of the church of Egypt
 There is no organization similar to that in modern universities. Any rep utable man who desires to teach can obtain the privilege by application and Is assigned a column where he may sit and impart the truth as he thinks proper Ills fame or ability will at- tract more or less students and dis cipies, who pay him fees according to their means"

Omcious Park Police.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sunday evening a mother and a
woman relative went to Branch Brook
Park-their first visit to it-with two
tots, a boy % months old and a girl
not four years. The innocent babies,
seeing the flowers along the walks,
plucked some, for which they were ar
rested by a so-called police officer.
The mother and the babies and the
woman friend were taken to a police
court. where fine of $40 was imposed,
and the woman had to wait at the
police station three hours for an uncle
of the babies to call and pay the fine,
as the father was not at home
The father of the tots is working
man and pays taxes. He has many
relatives and lots of stanch friends in
this city. The taxpayers of Newark
pay more than 70 per cent. of the cost
of maintaining the parks like Branch
Brook, including the flowers, and 1
.opine that they will disapprove of the
fine of $40 because babies plucked a
few flowers.
The Essex County Park Commission
should have men of common sense on
its police force and the city should
have Il judge who has little judg-
ment. The taxpayers of Newark don't
want that $40 from workingman
