Traffic In Titles In England.


Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix Sir"
before their names. We all of us look
ed down with lofty contempt upon the
counts and barons that were so plen.
tiful in continental countries. Now
we can do so no longer, for probably
there is no other country In the world
where the traffic in titles is so open
and SO indecent as in England. What
the number of our decorations is | do
not know. and ! imagine that few do.
Every few years some new one is Gre
ated. and an Englishman with taste
that way can easily manage TO ex-
libit himself covered with metal disks
and bits of ribbon like some success
tul COW at an agricultural show. These
embellishments may fiatter the vanity
rs their wearers. but they do not in
crease the respect that is felt for Eng
Decentralization Truth.

Wauner's Operas.

The solicitude of the heirs of Rich
ard Wagner as the time approaches
when his works will be free may well
be understood from the great sums that
his operas bring in. Munich alone has
paid the family $250,OO0 in royalties
while Vienna and Berlin have contrib
uted much larger sums. A tentative
effort to preserve a certain share OF
these royalties to the family was made
by a committee which wanted a GER
tain percentage paid as so called non
orary royalties" With one exception
the musical societies of Germany as
well as the opera houses absolutely re-
fused to agree to anything of the Kind
while the opera houses, in view OF the
great wealth of the present wagner
family. even refused to promise not to
give "Parsifal." Not only will the
Imperial Opera House at Vienna mount
"Parsifal." but there are already in
preparation various companies which
are to travel through Germany per
forming the work.

His Proclamations.

A divorce trial in Paris which was
decided q few weeks ago brought TO
light this remarkable situation: The
husband. a bank employe. decided in
1908 TO cease speaking TO his wife
and 10 make his wishes known by
''proclamations'' which he fastened TO
the wall of their living room. The
first of them was to the effect that
every husband should pay his share
of the living expenses. but no more.
Il shall pay my half: my wife must
pay her share" he wrote. ITO prove
expense account correct. bills must
be shown. shall take my meals
out of the house and when inclined TO
eat at home shall provide the mate
rial and do the cooking" The proc
lamations also contained lectures on
moral questions ind threats of pun
isnment According to the deposition
Of the wife. the last one read, Adele.
I'm going away" The court gave the
woman her freedom.

SELECT CULLINCS
Customs Officials Manners.

German officials stare at you;
French officials scowl at you; English
officials wink at you. But they all pass
the baggage" is the conclusion of Gil
bert K. Chesterton. the English writer,
who has recently added to his expert
ence by passing through the custom
houses of France Germany and Eng
land, which he describes in the Illus
trated London News. Noise. confu-
sion and cIamor prevailed in the
French douane. which was located in
small. dirty. shed-like room. The
French temperament is soothed by
disturbance. he explains. and the Gus
toms officials bustling manner does
not mean that he takes his duty very
seriously, for one gets through quickly
and unhurt. French officials are not
as brutal as they seem. German Gus
tom houses impressed MIR. Chesterton
as temple-like. The imposing officials
in uniforms of aesthetic peacock green
held his observant gaze. Grim and
silent, they passed him from one large
apartment to another But 1t only

Monument to Captain Cook.

Captain Cook was really the first
navigator of the Pacific ocean. 9th
ers had discovered it centuries before.
but he was the first to put those dis
coveries to practical use. and his ex-
plorations served as basis for the
first accurate maps of that great ocean.
He found that there was no vast con-
tinent stretching from near the shores
of Asia to the antarctic pole, as Eu-
rope had always thought. He was the
first to sail around New. Zealand. and
he gave New South Wales its name.
He is at last to have fitting memorial
of his services to England and the
world. This memorial will take the
form of statue to be designed by Sir
Thomas Brock. the sculptor who did
the Victoria memorial, and will have
a place in London near the Admiralty
arch in the Mall.
