A friend calls attention to the fact
that Washington, although comman,

!. IHI5 QUEEN WORKS
How Paris Chooses a Fete Sow

Mile. Lucienne Jolly, Hard-WorkIns
Seamstress Was Queen of the
French Capitals Autumn
Feast This Year.

Paris.-AlthOugh France is now q
republic for the third time, her peo-
pie still seem to banker after royalty
and their taste runs In the direction
OF queens. They can't have a regular
queen, Of course, so they must be con-
tented with queens Of a lower degree,
who are CHOSEN in various trades and
various parts of France with all due
ceremony.
From time immemorial the trades
people Of Paris have celebrated each
carnival by electing a queen from
among the work people, whose chief
merit is unusual beauty, the pride Of
birth being quite an unimportant fac
tor.
The vegetable women select their
queen, the gTOceTs theirs, the fishmar-
ket makes its choice and so on. Then
these several chosen queens are
brought together for an appointed
committee to pass judgment on them.
The queen receiving the largest num-
Der Of votes is raised to the highest
honor and her title is-Queen of the
Queens. 1t is a strange fact that for
several years, with one exception, the
fish market has furnished the Queen
Of Queens for this joyous fete.

Hanging on the Wall.

The way pictures are hung makes
such a lot OF difference in the appear
ance of a room," said an interior dec
orator a few days ago. "That fact is
thrust upon me nearly every day. l
go into some parlors where the pic
lures are hung so high that all per

to be hopelessly high Other folks
hang, theirs SO low that it hurts your
spine to look at them, in. addition to
straining your eyes, spelling the
beauty of the room and taking from
the value of the picture
"All pictures should not be hung on
the same level, as they SO often are,
yet all should be as nearly on the
level with the eyes as possible. If
square and oblong pictures are alter
mated irregularly with round and oval
ones the best possible effect is gained"

JEWS IN UNITED KINGDOM
Number Under a Quarter of Million
and Are Mainly in the
Big Cities.

According to statistics there are at
the present time about 100000 Jews
IN the United Kingdom, mainly in
London and the other large cities of
England. The Jews being rated
among the greatest merchants in the
world, it is but natural that they
should flock to the cities where the
widest field for their industry is to be
had.
In England there is a popular say
ing that there are no Jews in Scot
land. Although this it not literally
true. it Is fact that there are not
many of them in that part of the
United Kingdom. Mark Twain is au-
thority for the statement that in the
last half hundred years only one Jew
has lived in Scotland. He says that
one moved to Edinburgh. and before
he realized it the canny Scots had
him so we'll trimmed of his worldly
goods that he never afterward had
enough money to escape from the
country. 1t is feared, however. that
the humorist has slightly exaggerated
tne story.
There are comparatively few Jews
in Ireland, the large majority of the
100000 being in London, Liverpool
and two or three others of the largest
English cities.
Just as they do in this country, TIE
Jews of England ask no other race to
assist them in the maintenance Of
their own poor. Through .well-organ-
lied charities they take care of all the
psor and destitute. raising nearly
.s1,000,000 annually for religious and

Beinc Natural.

Can you, if you be the gentler sex,
walk down the street behind an ele-
gantly gowned woman and restrain
the impulse to initiate her poise of
head, her carriage and the fascinating
ways she possesses? Have you ever
been in crowded room where one
woman was the center of attraction
and seen someone trying to initiate
her? woman is most charming
when she is natural. A woman who is
natural, even in her erratic moods,
does not give. offense. One cannot imi-
tate the ways, manners and style of
another without appearing ridiculous.
The incest women we meet are those
who do not pose or seek to initiate
some one else.

The corner lot on Second street

VIM. O'Donnell, was sold last week
to Christ Reeploeg of Seattle, Wash,
for the sum Of So, $50. This is the
highest figure ever realized for real
estate in this city, and will serve as
basis in estimating the value of
lots in other parts of the city. There
has been no sale of Main street lots
for some time, but according to the
Second street east sale, corner lots
on the principal thorofare should be
worth in the neighborhood of S. 900.
The new owner of this property ex-
poets to improve it.
Mr.. .Reeploeg also bought three lots
on the same street from Frank Rob-
inson, and a house and lot on First
street west owned by MIR. Helrick.
In addition to the city property he
made a deal for 160 acres of bench
land eight miles north of Roundup.
The total amount of his investment
was about $6,75 all cash.
