THE WIGWAM.

Another pleased audience greeted Manager George D. Mullen's bevy of lady soloists at the Wigwam theater last evening and went away as well pleased as were those who attended the opening entertainment on Saturday evening. Miss Lois Kelly, director and viOlinist, was at her best and conducted her players through the difficult pas sages of La Poloma" with all the skill and technique of a natural concert master, and while making her violin re- spOnd to her dainty touch with the ease and grace of the master.
 Miss Ross at the piano showed a mastery of the keyboard which stamps her as an artist. She gave a support to the less powerful instruments that completed the delightful tone blending of the entire aggregation and at times carried several bars when no other in Strument was in evidence.
 Misses Gearran and Snedigar, cor net and clarinet respectively, repeated their achievements of Saturday night and were entitled to their share of the liberal applause accorded the efforts of the entire orchestra. George D. Null len rendered two trombone solos in ! truly classical manner, appearing in

SHOT EMBROIDERY.

Pretty jabots and ruffles in white net, displaying a stamped pattern. are noticeable for their peculiar blending of,white, gray and black tints. In one example, the delicate and elaborate design, reproduced in fine linen stitch intersected with eyelets, is entirely out lined with black lace thread scarcely visible at the back, while in another specimen, with silvery touch, wheat ears are defined with a series of long. raised stitches in gray silk, while lines of darning stitches accentuate the kid ney-like connecting scrolls.
 A discreet black spreckling predomi- mates in the entire effect, being pro- duced by a loose stem stitch in fine black thread cunningly interblended at the back with the running gray stitches. The same dark thread is used for the tufts. of long stitches wrought as a padding on the wrong side of the gray wheat ears. IT. this way the em- broidery is almost reversible; 1t no longer lightly emphasizes the pattern, but covers it in front with glossy gray silk, through which peep out from be- hind a touch of the black embroidery. the characteristic of the back.
 Industrious and ingenious workers are likely to turn to account these serviceable suggestions for producing the desired shot appearance.

given does not convey a correct idea of the aggregate of visitors. and still less of the number of actual gam blers.
 Until 1900 the dominant element was composed of Americans and English to the extent of 70 per cent; but every year since then German has been heard more and more at the tables, and now 55 per cent are Germans, including Austrians. The English speaking contingent has gone down to 90 per cent, 10 per cent are French and , per cent are other nationalities. Italians constitute only One-half of 1 per cent of the whole number, which is taken to show that Italians on the average are not wealthy. Spaniards and Scandina- vians are at the bottom of the list
 The accounts of the bank at Monte Carlo show net profits of $14.000.000 annually. Of this SS,000, 900 is Ger man and Austrian money. Americans and English lose S3.30O.O00. French men S1,4OO,O00, Russians sf.000.0G0. Russians S1O0OOOO and the rest is contributed by various other nation alities.-New York Sun.

STRICT MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

A Russian gentleman whe not long ago visited America had many inter- esting things to tell his American friends of his experiences while a sol dier in the Imperial Guard, a corps composed entirely of nobles. and of the trying hardships, not of warfare, which his service entailed.
 The Czar was so constantly guarded and there were so many court cere- monies and military or official occa- sions when 1t was necessary to remain in rigidly correct position, sometimes for hours at time and often with the mercury below zero, clad in a uniform gorgeous but overnight and of an in- sufficient number of thicknesses, that it was often question whether a man could maintain his post to the end without fainting or freezing.
 Russian soldiers have since the days of Peter the Great enjoyed a reputa- tion for military stolidity, if not pre- cision, excelled only by the Germans Yet a recent gatherer of curious his torical anecdotes gives an instance of the admiralty immobility of a soldier of the more excitable French. Nor was he one of the famous Old Guard of the great Napoleon, but instead a mere palace guard of Napoleon the Little" in the heyday of the ephemeral bril- liance of the Second Empire.
 He was posted on guard in a corri- dor of the court, where he stood so perfectly still that the Prince Imperial, then a child, was seized with an impish desire to stir him to human behavior, and in the hope of doing so poured the contents Of bag of sugar plums sud denly into his boot The man never moved nor so much as lowered his eyes.
 When the next day the story was told the Empress laid 9 wager with Colonel Verly, to whose r giment the stohd hero belonged, that she would succeed where her son had failed. The Colonel escorted her to the corridor, where she walked up to the man and endeavored by every means except, of course, direct address, to whoch 1t would have been his duty to respond, to attract his attention. It was quite in vain. He remained unregarding, re- spectfully rigid and as if turned to stone. Moreover, she observed Colonel Verly smiling at her discomfiture. It was too much. With characteristic impetuosity she stepped close to the sentinel and boxed his ears. Not a mus cle moved.
 The Colonel had won his wager. The Empress afterward sent the man a handsome compensation for the cuff he had received, but he refused to accept it, declaring-and there spoke the un- nistakabie Frenchman after all-that he had been already sufficiently com pensated by the touch of his sovereign lady's hand on his cheek.-Youth's Companion. .t

of a royal banquet at any era between the reign of Francis l. and Louis XIV, such a laughter would be heard as might disturb the serenity of Louis in Paradise. The Duchess, her napkin tied around her neck, would be seen nibbling a bone; the noble Marquise surreptitiosly scratching himself; the Belle Marquise withdrawing her spoon from her lips to help a neighbor to sauce with it; another fair creature securing her plate with her bread; a gallant courier using his doublet or the tablecloth as a towel for his fing- CTS, and two footmen holding yard of damask under a lady's chin while she emptied her goblet at a draught.
 All of these at one era or another were the usases of polite society Dur ing a feast of inordinate length it was clean cloth for the one which the care lessness or bad manners of the guests had reduced to a deplorable condition.

GERMANS PATRoNIZING MONTE
 CARLO.

A remarkable proof of the increas- ing diffusion of wealth in Germany may be found in the latest statis- tics of the Casino of Monte Carlo. which indicate that the German can now afford to lose his money in the grand manner.
 The number of visitors from all parts of the famous gambling palace has remained pretty much the, same; they average in the neighborhood of 25,000,000 yearly. The figure, it is explained, is reached by counting ev- cry person entering the rooms. The same person may enter again and again, but he is always counted as separate entity, so that the total

WHERE TO SAVE.

There is an old adage about say ing at the spigot and wasting aI the bung hole" which might be applicable to the reform methods that are in course of inauguration by the pres ent administration. President Taft has made every possible effort to ef- feet savings and bring about econ omy. But in spite Of all that he car do there are very large appropria- tions. The methods that are in

course of adoption to secure econO- mics may save a few hundred thou sand dollars and even a few millions. That is all worth while, but there must be a movement in the direc- tiOn of curtailing congressional ap- propriatiOns. There will have to be cut in the expenditures for the army. the navy, the Qualifications, the pen sions. the rivers and harbors, public buildings and other things which mean millions instead of thousands

Mr.. Jefferson invented the copying

ing chair, now a familiar and neces-
sary article of furniture in all Offices
and counting rooms. The Federalist
newspapers used to call it Mr.. Jeffer-
