PRINCESS ON PRINCE STREET
oueenIy Young Woman Honors a Mall
Carrier by Handing Him a Dainty
Envelope to BE Posted.

They came along to Broadway up
one Of the cloak-and.suit streets of
mid New York, Golfers Weekly says.
She was an elaborate young woman
in rose-colored velvet and fair as
Miriam with all her bangles on to
the dazzled male alongside, who was
made up for the worlds champion
neckwear seller in a Potash and Perl
mutter play.
Betwixt dainty gloved thumb and
fore-fnger she held an envelope lit
must have been scented), exactly as
your maiden aunt used to hold her
ice cream spoon in the dear dead
days of 1891. A mere human being
was bagging the contents Of the mail
box at the corner, and she saw him.
ooh, he CAN mail my letter! Heah
you are, letter carrier" All this
in the clearly ringing, sweetly super
cilious tones of an Elsie Ferguson he
roine who has not yet fallen in love.
Mr. Burleson's cowOrker took the
honor respectfully enough, and the
rose-colored velvet f1oated blandly on.
A bystander, however, observed the
map of Donegal which served that par
ticular letter carrier for countenance
to be distorted momentarily by a ire
mendous wink. But, really now, why
shouldn't one expect to meet prin-
cess on Prince street-if only in the
ri ~ Il a n n emf tradn3 Of cODrSa we
all believe in the nobility of commerce.

DOG LEARNED MORSE SIGNALS
Canine Recognized Office Call and
Would Awaken Master When
Latter Was Sleeping.

Tony was a small scraggly-haired
Russian terrier that had while work
ing as night operator at New Hamp-
shire railroad station, writes F. H. s.,
In the Boston Globe. In those days I
worked IL hours and often longer
when we were short of men, and Tony
proved very useful to me, for taught
him to read Morse signals and he
would wake me up when my office
was called If happened to doze off
after working a long stretch without
rest.
My Office call was 'Ux." Whenever
that call was licked off on the wire I
would say speak Tony!" and the little
dog would bark. In about months
time had trained Tony to bark loudly
every time Tx was called on the wire.
One hot night as we sat in the little
Office with the door open Tony growled
and big husky hobo, the tallest man
1 ever saw outside Of circus, lunged
in the door and made grab at me. l
lodged and sprang for the desk, where
my pistol was. Tony jumped for the
man and fastened on to his legs and
caused the man to trip and fall. BY
this time reached the desk, picked up
my gun and covered him.
The DO backed out of the door and l
slammed the Office door, locked it and
turned out the light.
Poor Tony crossed the track in front
Of train one day and was instantly
killed.

what st. Louis or Chicago WAS hum
dred years ago. The halt million
square miles of the province of To-
bolsk include huge areas Of nch land,
although the northern reaches are. lap
ped by the Arctic ocean. Already a
great part Of it Is sown in wheat and
the cattle are increasing from year to
year. With the building of railways
these great Siberian plains will tell
the story Of our own West over again.

Perfumes Defy Laundries.

The Arabs around Alden love pow
erful perfumes and are highly skilled
in their preparation. Their favorite
is called "oodi." 1t is made from a
wood called "ood" and is so powerful
that when burned in incense-pots the
smoke will impregnate the garments
Of those present to such an extent that
the perfume will remain upon them for
days, even after they have been laun-
dered. They often mix "ood' with civ
ct, ambergris and musk, and thus per-
fume their clothes. The Germans tried
to sell their perfumes at Alden, but
failed, as the best they could do was
about 43 cents an ounce for perfume
not nearly so good as that which the
natives made for cents.

Cedar Forest at Great Height.

In his book, '"The Real Algeria" quot
ed in the Christian Science Monitor,
M. D. Scott describes his journey
through cedar forest. "The program
was to cross the mountains through a
fine forest Of cedars by the Col de
Telmet, at an altitude of 5000 feet"
Mr.. Scott says. II came across a most
curious piece of hillside. Bare rock
as steep and smooth as house roof
ran straight from the hilltop to the
bottom of the valley with a strike Of
some 60 degrees. 1t shone like burn
ished silver in the bright sun. Never
have I seen anything of the kind so
beautiful. In various crevices were
perched cedar trees, sometimes with
a rest so tiny that q miracle alone
held them apparently from sliding
down the chute"

Russia Originally Democratic.

Six hundred years ago it was the old
russia that arose out Of Rurik the
Norman's conQuests, and had it's cap
ital at Kiev. There were cars and
overlords after fashion. But the
real government Of Russia was in the
market place at Kiev and Of every
little town and village on the great
wide steppes, where on the great days
OF the year the people gathered to-
gether, warriors, traders, women, too,
chose their local officials. The original
heart OF Russia was democratic to the
core.

Oak First for Tables.

Oak was the wood first used in
tables then walnut came into general
use In the middle Of the seventeenth
century. An early form Of table was
the chair table, convenient because it
served the purpose Of a seat when the
top was lifted and stood against the
side Of the room. But gradually the
table took its present form and use.
It became the custom to leave the
board upon the trestle instead Of re-
moving both, and in time the piece Of
furniture was called the table.

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing cen
tiers of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is, of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because Of
the ship shortage.
While boats made big inroads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England in the mean
100000 tons year-because of The

lied nations have been forced to turn
