He Had Some Regard For the Social
Side of Trade.
The su.nme visitor In a small sea-
port town was amazed and amused at
the assortment of merchandise display
ed in the little store at the head of the
wharf. The showcase was devoted to
an assortment of candy at end and
a lot Of cigars and tobacco at the 9th
er end and no barrier between. Next
to the showcase stood a motor engine
valued at several hundred dollars.
Thinking to please the proprietor,
the visitor remarked that even the
large department stores in Boston
could not boast Of such a collection.
"Well," he said, 81 amt aping them

CASTE IN THE ARMY.
Civilians Find II Difficult to Under
stand Military Discipline.

Civilians Find II Difficult to Under
stand Military Discipline.
One thing not commonly understood
among civilians Is the completeness Of
the barrier which divides army off,
GERS from the soldiers, OF, as they are
more generally called, the "msn." 1t
is always vastly amusing to those ia
hiliar with the service to observe the
errors In this respect frequently made
by the novelist and the playwright.
Personal qualifications have nothing
whatever to do with the matter. A
soldier may be a gentleman who has
enlisted with the purpose of obtaining
a commission. yet there can be be-
tween him and bis officers no social
intercourse of any sort, and severe
penalties would be inflicted upon the
officer who would attempt to disregard
the rule.
1t might seem that this enforcement
Of a caste sense would result in much
hard feeling on the side of the men.
Such, however, Is not actually the
case. 1t Is taken for granted and rec
ognized as conducive to good order
and military discipline" 1t is a mill
tary regulation like any other and Inn
plies 10 disgrace. Directly a soldiers
enlistment la out or directly he rises
from the ranks the prohibition Is re-

Louis XIV. Covered One Courtyard
With Silver and Gold.
Many interesting instances of indi-
yidual eccentricity or extravaganza in
the selection of material for paving
streets and roads may be cited. 1t Is
related that when Macmillan Eman-
ueI succeeded to the throne Of Bavaria
he celebrated the event by causing n
of the roads leading to his palace TO be
paved with plates of FURNISHED cop
per. This, cleaning In the sunshine,
gave all the effect of the more precious
metal-gold.
We are told also that Louis XIV.
paved one of the courts at Versailles
with squares Of silver, each of which
had recorded upon it some triumph of
the French arms. In the center OF
the court stood a large tablet of gold

his youth, the fair Louise dc Ia Val

ton OF the king to Louise.
An eccentric nobleman Of Milan con-
eeived the idea of paving the court
yard OF his palace with slabs Of mar
Bile, granite and other stone, each from
q different land. 1t Is said that Eu-
rope, America, Asia, Africa and Aus

DECAY OF TIN.
Remarkable Alteration Which Takss

Remarkable Alteration Which Takes
Place In the Metal.
Anything made of tin, it seems, Is
doomed to a brief existence. This
metal Is subject to a remarkable kind
of alteration, a species Of disease to
which 1t Is liable. When exposed to
the air tin undergoes no chemical
change, as do iron and copper, which,
of course, chemically combine with the
oxygen or with water. The tin, how
ever, still remains metallic tin. but
gradually becomes gray and dull and
falls to fine powder.
The disease is catching" IL infects
OF induces the AM change in other
masses of tin In the immediate neigh
borhood. We are told that In a Rus
sian imperial magazine, in place Of tin
uniform buttons, little heaps of powder
We're found. A consignment of Banka
tin sent from Rotterdam to Moscow
In 1877 arrived at the latter place In
the form of powder. This alteration Ia
due to a change in the internal crys-
taliine structure of the metal and Is
analogous to the slow transformation
Of monoclinic sulphur to rhombic sui
phir. AS a result, objects Of tin Of
archaeological interest are rare. Those
that have been found have been In the
form of earthenware vessels, knobs,

To fix precisely the date of the rise
OF the first universities Is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were started
by a few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free.
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know as the
university. Among the earliest OF
these centers of learning were saler-
no.. Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land t. experience the literary
revival. We may say that salerno
university was fairly established By
the year 1000, the University OF Bo-
logna by 11e0 and the University of
Naples by the year LOO. The Uni

Many local automobile owners
and those holding a drivers license
are preparing to take an examine
ton to conform with the new auto
mobile law, which becomes effective
on August |. Secretary OF State
Samuel 8. Koenig. who spent a sum-
mer In Tottenville several years ago.
has issued a general warming in a
circular to owners, drivers and
c~haureurs, that the law will be en-
forced to the letter and that no
person shall operate an automobile
in the streets of the city after Au-
gust l unless he Is legally entitled
to do so.
The first, examination of ehauf-
feurs is being held at the sec
rotary of states automobile head
quarters, 227 West Seventy-fourth
street, Manhattan. Over TOO are ex-
pected to be examined each day.
Under the new law the certificates
Issued to both owners OF motor We
hicles and hcauffeurs Will take effect
August /, and will continue in force
until February 1. 1911, when new
certificates for a year will be is
sued by the secvretary of state.
The amount Of registration for
that period is one-half the yearly

ton Is for machines of twenty-five
horsepower or less, SIS; more than

The color of the number plate is

law Is strict in regard to men who
drive automobiles in the streets and
highways. They must be men OF
good character, of temperate habits
and above all that they have due re-
spect for the rights of pedestrians
and others in the streets. The ex-
aminatlons now for a license I'M
