Fortunes Spent in Trousseaux.

The elaborate trousseaux OF men,
bers Of the smart set would have made
a queen bride OF a century ago open
her eyes with amazement. 1t is an
ordinary thing for the daughter OF a
millionaire on getting her bridal FIN
cry ready to order 20 or 80 hats,
trimmed with ostrich and other feath-
ers, to harmonic with as many
gowns. Every gown needs a distinct
hat. The equipment OF rich bride
is looked on as incomplete II it does
not contain at least 80 gowns and
such a trousseau does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for a
year. When lingerie and little orna
ments also are taken into considera'
ton, 1t is plain young girl In New
York's smart set must spend many
thousands of dollars for her outfit and
several women have spent $4,000 tc

II your back is straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight In
your conduct. You will hold your head

Even when you're sitting you keep

Of backbone. You are determined, en-

II you are criminal, your back Is
stopped or round, but the scholarly
stoop Of the bookworm must not be
confounded with the foregoing There
Is difference which Is difficult to de-
scribe, but 1t is readily recognized by
the close observer.
II you are mean and covetous your
back Is narrow and rounded and your
shoulders are high. You are sly
very sly. You generally have the ap-
peararce of drawing yourself up into
as small compass as possible. You
are always yourself, so to speak,
and people should give you the cold
shoulder.
Are you too straight backed? That is,
do you hold your head so high that
there is a preposterous fall In the

pulled up with self-esteem that you

Mountain in the Sky.

Probably few persons are aware that
SONG where, many miles away from
this earth, an enormous mountain
twenty miles high is flying through
space. This mountain is known as.
Economically as the planet Eros. The
ordinary man has long taken it for
granted that all the planets are more
or less round in shape. The small
planet Eros, however, is an exception
to this rule. According to the latest
astronomical information it is a mere
mountain in space, without form and
void" and as it turns upon it's axis
first one corner and then another is
presented to view. These small
worlds (few are over ten or twenty
miles across) are not large enough to
have sufficient gravity to draw their
structure into symmetry and remain
as when launched into space-mam-
moth meteOrites. A tantalizing fact
for astronomers is that Eros passed
close to us about Jan. "a, 1S94-before
the planet was recognized-and that
quite so near an approach is not due
again till 1875.

AMERICAN MUSIC ISN'T BAD
David 6Ispham Says Much Of II Com
pares Well With Best Of For
eIgn Compositions.

At q recent recital which he gave
in Carnegie hall, David Bispham said
There is just as much bad music
written abroad rs there is in this
country, only we do not always hear
1t. When we get foreign music we
always seek the best. We buy the
works of the best composers and we
give no attention to any others. Here
at home we hear all that is published.
We cannot avoid the bad If we would.
We hear 1t on the streets in spite Of
ourselves, and we grow to think, I'M
less we take pains to study American
music, that the most of it is poor.
This is not true. Some of it is very
bad, but much of it Is as good as that
written by the best foreign compos-
ers."
In proof Of his faith in the good
quality of American music Mr.. Bisp-
ham makes 1t rule to devote a por-
ton of each of his programs to the
work of American composers. While
all of his audience may not agree with
him that these songs equal the best
Of the foreign works, it certainly
should be an inspiration to American
composers to have so excellent an ar
fist place such faith in them and
prove his faith by giving their works
the benefit of his renditions. Mr..
Bispham laments the prevalence OF
ragtime, and urges his audiences to
lend all their influence toward its
adjustment. To him music is worth.
less unless taken with sufficient seri.

an intelligent, idea.

REASON or SMALL FAMILY


II must be remembered that as in.
crease Of population progresses, the
mere fact Of increase creates new
conditions. These in turn may check
or destroy earlier tendencies. Thus,
out Of the great increase in popula-
ton in our time has come already at
least one significant fact This may
be termed the pressure Of popula-
ton" II may be defined as the gen
eral instructive realization of large
numbers. Expression of this realiza-
ton appears in the decreasing belief
that personal responsibility rests
upon the individual to rear large
family, or even, in many cases, to be-
come a parent. Mere numbers-the
pressure Of humanity on all sides, es-
pecially in the large cities-constitut
ever-present evidence to the average
man and woman that there are people
enough, and the struggle for existence
is too severe already to be increased
by unnecessary burdens. In conse-
quence, there has arisen a rather re-
markable and widespread tendency,
now clearly evident in most Of the
larger communities Of Europe, volun-
tarily to limit the family The effect
OF this tendency is most marked in
France, where II has produced a pres
ent state of equilibrium of population
liable to be changed at any time into
a positive national decrease. Limita-
ton of family has also appeared in
other parts of the world and has
caused much concern in Australia,
where a very small total white popu-
lation is shown. 1t should not be
overlooked, however, in connection
with the apparently exceptional prob
lem presented by Australia, that the
southern continent seems never to
have sustained a large population.
The aborigines of Austria, New Zea-
land and Tasmania were not numer-
GUS, and those that remain are dying
out so rapidly as to suggest a very
frail racial grasp upon existence

RoTHScHILDS OF THE EAST
Mltsul Family Of Japan Is Famous for
Unsullled Honor Of Their
Name.

The Mitsui family Of Japan have
been called the Rothschilds OF the
East; but while the fame Of the lat
ter has gone abroad over the world,
says the. Atlantic Monthly, the Nit
suis have remained practically I'M
known except to a few western mer-
chants who have had extensive deal
ings with the Orient.
The European family owes its great
renown to the fact that for a century
there has been no slightest stain up
on It's commercial honor. But it's ca
reer, 1t should be remembered, has
been passed In a world where bust
ness itself has been held in honor;
while the Mitsuis, engaged in a pur-
suit utterly condemned by public SEN
timent, for three centuries, in spite Of
the demoralizing influence of the so
cial ban, have been trusted by govern
ment and people alike and have kept
the honor of their name unstained.
Now, thanks to the new spirit ami
mating the nation, they no longer
stand SO conspicuously alone.
Other great commercial families are
being ranged with this one. their mem
bers not only enrolled among the
peers Of the realm, but ranking with
the merchant princes Of the west as
opponents of all that is honorable in
the conduct Of mercantile affairs. To
their number are yearly being added
many OF the Samirai, or nightly chiv-
airy of old, who once scorned all con-
tact with trade, but who are now re-
turning to bring to the rescue of their
country the fine sense of honor In
which they were educated under the
ancient regime. That they will even
tually succeed in their task, backed
as they are by the instinct of common
honesty pervading the rank and file.
thefe can be no manner Of doubt.

FISH STORY FROM KANSAS
Tannic Acid From the Autumn Leaves
Makes the FInny Tribe an
Easy Prey.

Two years ago a curious paragraph
went the rounds of the press. It
stated that an analysis OF the water
in the Maries du Cygnes river
revealed the presence Of fannie acid.
No cause was assigned. But Big
Stranger. a limpid stream that CUR
giles across the northeast corner of
Kansas and pours its gossip into the
Kaw, held this secret nine years ago,
and local residents kept mum and
profited accordingly. Now, the fourth
time in IA seasons, that. same tannic
acid is troubling Big Strangers wa
tiers until they run black as ink; and
cat, carp, bass and buffalo, in coma,
but entirely edible, are crowding the
banks, their heads uplifted in quest
of air. The fannie acid, drawn from
autumn leaves which recent high
winds deposited in the stream, drives
the fish to the surface, where they
collect in rifles or fresh water inlets,
or try to climb the banks. Thus they
are easy prey, and are taken out in
nets, scooped up with shovels, and
taken to market or gathered into the
sailed fish supply of the community.
Big Stranger, which is well wooded
and generally steep banked, carries
the biggest fin stock in its part of the
state and has no known rival In the
tannic acid feat.

Good Bio Job.

Several New York school teachers
recently paid visit to BloOmingdale
Insane asylum and were approached
by a gentleman who showed them
about the grounds. In the course OF
his remarks he dwelt with particular
emphasis on the fact that some insane
people were of such cunning that one
could not discover their condition ex-
cept by some strange remark let fali
by chance.
After two pleasant hours spent in
the company Of their guide the teach
ers were about to return, when one
of them, wishing to take a not too
abrupt leave, remarked:
Time must pass slowly here for
you among so many lunatics.'

Apparatus for Finding Water.

The hazel twig as a water finder has
been supplanted by a remarkable In
vention, consisting of a simple APP
paratus. The principle on which the
instrument works is the measuring Of
the strength Of electric currents
between the earth and the atmos-
phere. These are always strongest in
the vicinity of subterranean water
courses. the flowing waters of which
are charged with electricity to a GER
tain degree. The apparatus takes
the form Of a box-shaped instrument
fixed on tripod, with a dial on which
a needle is used to indicate the pres
ence OF water. II the needle remains
stationary 1t may be taken for grant
ed that no subterranean spring ex-
lists; the spot where the greatest
movement OF the needle is obtained is
that where well boring operations
should be made.

ROMEO CAUGHT IN CHIMNEY
Curious Antics Of q Breton Lover

Dur Romeo, like Chaucer's hero, was

Juliette was a distance of some seven
miles from his home. The enamored
Romeo tramped & on foot all that
distance. At night he reached the
house, and called, hut cot no answer
AS the door was shut ne decided to
try the roof. On the roof he found
the chimney, and 1t seemed to him
that was quite wide enough to let him
down. He descended for some dis
lance, but then. as he came near the
fireplace, the chimney narrowed. He
slipped and got In a narrow neck
Here he was caught, unable to move
up or down. Before long ne felt a
suffocatirg sensation. If the thing
lasted much longer II would be the
end of him. He could stand It no
more. After groaning he yelled, and

his sweetheart disturbed in her slum-
bers. but the whole. village was ex-
cited.
The nearest chimney-sweep was
called, but he could not help him out.
The gendarmes woke up the mayor,
and he, with all the Hotables of the
place, went to look. They consulted
among them, and the only way to
liberate the captive lover was to pull
down part of the chimney. This was
done by some masons, and he was
presently released, but before being
allowed his freedom police report
was drawn up, with a view to inflict-
ing series of fines for breaking into

public scandal. Poor Romeo was very

For 1t is only by going south that one
can escape the most depressing Of all

IMMENSE POWER OF WEALTH
Ingenious Writer Shows What Worlds
SIX Richest Men Could DO
II They Combined.

In the Strand Magazine appears a
unique article with the title. what
Six Rich Men Could Do" The author
has taken as the worlds six richest
men John d. Rockefeller, Pierpont
Morgan, Astor, Lord Strathcona. An.
drew Carnegie and Lord Rothsohild
He calculates that between them they
own s5,OOO,0OO,O0O. What might they
do with such a sum 4! they combined
focces? What things could they not
achieve with $5,OOO,0OO,OOO? Suppose
they were aggressive and inclined to
wage war. They could put 1000, 900
men in the field and maintain them
for ten years, perhaps for twenty. The
American Revolutionary war cost
$700,000,000. The wars with Napoleon
from 1890 to 1916 cost Great Britain
So, 100000. The Crimean war cost
$50, 100000 for two years. The South
African war cost England 1880, 000,-
900. The rich sextet could have borne
the costliest of these wars and had
good sum over.
II they turned their attention to the
sea they could with half their capital
build a feet that would be unique,
overpowering, irresistible. The big
gest feet In the world-tbat Of Great
Britain-could probably be duplicated
for $1,000,00O,00O. Again these irwin
chile six could give 500 each to every
man, woman, and. child in the British
Isles. They could buy.ail the autOmo-
biles in the worligi and /, then have
enough left over to purchase the Pa
mama and Suez canals, and after that
SUFFICIENT to buy up British shipping.
These are a few of the startling
things these six elderly gentlemen
could do with their combined wealth
If they only possessed the requisite au-
dacity, imagination and agreement.
