Nice Ballroom Ornaments.

Count Moltke III 1876 ACCOMPANIED
the crown prince of Prussia to Moscow
to attend the coronation of Alexander
III. At ball in the Kremlin Moltke
was introduced to a group of pictur-
esque potentates from central Asia,
with their cirdles stuck full of daggerS
and pistols in the Albanian manner.
and he begged to know whether these
firearms of theirs were loaded. why
should | carry them if they were not
loaded?" replied the spokesman of the
party and in letter to his English
wife Moltke confessed that he had
never experienced such a setback all
his life. Here at last he said, Il have
found un homme serieuX, a man who
is what he looks and means what he
says.

An INGENIOUS Picture.

There is in one of the European pic
ture galleries painting called Cloud
land" 1t hangs at the end of a long
gallery, and at first sight it looks like a
huge repulsive daub Of confused color
without form or loneliness. As you
walk toward it the picture begins to
take shape. 1t proves to be a mass of
exquisite little cherub faces like those
at the head Of the canvas in Raphael's

GOOD FOR EVERY DAY IN THE
WEEK

Mayor Thompson of Chicago in
speaking of the effect of Sunday clos.
ing of saloons in that city recently
said.
Some things have worked out in
the enforcement of this Sunday clos.
ing law that never realized or under
stood before. One is the big reduc.
ton in crime which has followed the
| closing of the saloons on Sundays.
The Monday morning arrests books
show only 80 to $50 arrests on the
preceding Sunday, while before Sun.
day closing went into effect the ar
rests on Sunday used to average from
400 to 500.
Moreover, it is DR.. Robertson's opin.
ion that Sunday closing has reduced
the inroads of consumption in this
city. The man who wirks hard all

When the Mayor was asked WHY. if

one day of the week is good, it is not
equally good for closing them seven
