Pictur.es of Kings and Nobles as Fash
ion Plates
The tailor's office was littered with
foreign illustrated weeklies, English,
French, German, Russian, and so on.
“These.” he said, “are more useful
to me in my business than all the tash
ion plates going."
“Why so?" tin* patron inquired.
The tailor took up a French weekly
and opened it at jandom
“See here,” he said, turning from one
great photograph to another. "Here is
the terrace at Monte Carlo, with the
Duke of Westminster and L< r i Wil
loughby d'Eresby in the foreground
This* is the Nice race course, and the
men talking to the girl in white are
the Grand Duke Boris, young Iseiin of
New York, the Comte de Choiseu! and
Lord Crewe. Here we have the start
at tlie Cresta run at St. Moritz, and
the young men in knickers are the
Prince of Keuss. Mr Cornwallis-West,
Lord Howard de Walden and the Ger
man crown prince.”
The tailor, tossing the weekly aside,
lighted a gold tipped cigarette.
“Catch op. now?” he asked.
the patron hesitated.
“An ordinary fashion plate,” explain
ed the tailor, “is all right, but how do
I know if the new fashions in it tire
being worn? Here in these weeklies,
though. I get the new fashions just as
clear and distinct, and I have further
the assurance that they are going—
that they are not mere lifeless freak
things, but things which have been
taken up by the leading dressers of tbe
world.
“And so, sir, when I recommend you
anew faction you may rent assured
it has backing and authority behind it.
And if you say to me, ‘Oh, that is not
being worn, I'm sure,’ I reply to you:
# “‘No, sir. It is not beingfworn in
this town yet. I admit, but here, sir, is
a picture of the young king of Spain in
the same cut. and*here is the Earl of
Lonsdale, and here is the Prince of
Wales, and here’—
“But by that time,” said the tailor,
“I guess you are ready enough to take,
my word for the new fashion’s author
ity without further evidence.”—New

The Unearthing cf Memphis.
Memphis, on the XhLc, one of the
greatest capitals of the ancient world,
is buried beneath ground which is
now under cultivation by the villagers
of Mitrahinch, who will have to be
transferred to other plots and com
pensated before the work of excava
tion cau proceed very far. It is esti
mated that an expenditure of about
$15,000 annually for tifteen years will
be required to excavate the temple
sites, apart from the city. The un
earthing of Memphis, which contain
ed thl* finest school of Egyptian art.
will be by far the greatest archaeolog
ical work of recent times and must
result in a vast addition to the world’s
knowledge of ancient Egyptian his
tory and civilization. The work will
soon be begun by Professor Petrie,
head of the British School of Archae
ology in Egypt.
A Japanese Wedding Ring.
Mrs. Post Wheeler lias what perhaps
no other woman in the United States
has—a Japanese wedding ring For
llailie EYminie Rives, as she is known
to the literary world, was married in
Japan to Post Wheeler, secretary of
the American legation. Although tbo
Episcopal ceremony was used, she
chose the Japanese marriage symbol
in preference to that of her own coun
try. It is a little wider vhan the ordi
nary band and is beautifully carved in
oriental design. Between the chased
work are inserted Japanese characters
that read, “My beloved is mine and i
am his.” This is the favorite.sentiment
for the oriental wedding. This senti
ment is repeated several times around
the band.—New York Sun.

THE LONE STAR RANGERS.
Courageous Men Who Are Loyal Guard"
ians of the Law.
“When in Austin, Tex., a few weeks
ago." said J. D. Robey of Memphis,
Tenn.. "my attention was directed to a
party of about a dozen men—big, husky
fellows —most of them under thirty
years, who were tramping along Con
gress avenue, not in a swagget'ig way,
but with a kind of rolling, sailorlike
gait that seemed to differentiate them
from ordinary citizens.
"They had on broad brimmed som
breros. blue woolen shirts and high
heeled boots, and I would have taken
them for cowboys but for the big six
shooters and cartridge belts that were
strapped about their waists. This led
me to surmise that they were mem
bers of the celebrated ranger force,
and it .Lamed out that they were. Their
peculiar walk came from spending so
much of their time on horseback.
"The Texas rangers are a pet insti
tution. for they are a body of men who
are ready to brave death at a minute's
notice and who are the most loyal
guardians of law and order any state
or nation ever employed. Utterly fear
less of peril, they will go after the cat
tle thieves of the western plains or the
smuggler of the Rio Grande or sit in
district court rooms with their hands on
their Winchesters to preserve tiie peace
at some murder trial, the hearing of
which would bring on fresh tragedies
even before judge and jury were it not
for their presence.
"Occasionally a ranger gets killed in
the performance of I)is duty, but it is
far more frequently the ease that it is
the had man or rustler who tries an
argument with the mounted officer that
gets his quietus from the muzzle of a
deatli dealing gun. There is not a man
in (lie force who is not a dead shot,
and the ruffians they are after very
rarely want to bring matters to that
point where the deadliest aim gets tlie
decision.”—B..,timote American.
An Unusual Bit of Wrecking.
Robert Reid, the artist, is about to
attempt an unusual feat in the way of
“wrecking” in the near future in the
Fifth Aveuue hotel. He is going to
direct work of taking down from the
ceiling of the great ball on the second
fioor of the dismantled hostelry two cir
cular mural paintings that he did for
the hotyl about fifteen years ago. Deco
rations oT this kind are first painted on
canvas in the same manner as any
ordinary oil painting and then are fas
tened to the wall surface by a “paste”
of white lead. When this lead becomes
hard, the canvas practically becomes a
part of the wall, and that is where the
difficulty of removing a decoration of
this kind comes in. The "“wrecker”
who is to do the work for Mr. Reid is
no more certain that he will be able to
get the two panels off without damag
ing them than tiie artist is, but they
are /both hoping for the best. In spite
of the number of years the decorations
have been on the ceiling they still [(re
serve their original ‘brilliancy of color
ing.—New York Press.
Rat Extermination Virus Wanted.
Consul Maxwell Blake, at Dunferm

been inaugurated by the commercial
and scientific associations of Great
Britain for the extermination of nits,
which are very destructive to proper

Owing to tiie spreading by rats of
trichinosis among swine, the German
Imperial chancellor has issued a recipe
for the extermination of the rat in any
district where trichinosis occurs.
The Pneumatic Tube.
A novel experiment to demonstrate
the practicability of a pneumatic par
cel carrier was recently made in Chi
cago. The “parcel” shot through a
short length of sample tube was a
thirteen-year-old boy. He traveled at
the rate of sixteen miles an hour and
was in no way the worse for the jour
ney. J. M. Masten, superintendent of
the railway mail service, and Post
master Campbell of Chicago witnessed
the experiment as representatives of
the poetoffiee department, which is
looking into the device. The inventor
declares that with a tube between
New York and Chicago mail can be
shot from one city to the other in
seven hours.
Objected to the Cradle.
The German emperor is said to have
protested against the expenditure of
$1,200 on a cradle for the baby heir to
the dueby of Saxe-Cotiurg, the cradle
being profusely trimmed with real lace.
“Had it been for a princess it would
have mattered less,” remarked his maj
esty, “but how can a warrior fit to be
a German prince come out of such a
cradle, decorated at the cost of a year’s
salary of an official or professional
man?"

False Claims, ff*.
A numVr of business colleges
and schools have been claiming to
t.-ach the genuine famous Byrne
Simplified Shorthand. Their claims
tire positively untrue; they only
have some imitation system which
does not possess the merit of the
sixth edition of the Byrne Simpli
fied, which i* taught exclusively by
the Byrne Business Colleges in the
states where 1 their schools are located.
Inasmuch as we are under con
tract to protect the Byrne Business
Colleges and in order that the pub
lic may not l>e deceived by any
false reports, we give the names* of
the Byrne Business Colleges and
their location: Tyler Commercial
College, Tyler, Tex.; Capital City
Business College, Guthrie, Ohla.;
Frt donia Business College, Fredonia,
Kans.: Columbus Business College,
Columbus, Miss.; Athens Business
College, Athens, Ga.
A few years ago, when the Byrne
Business Colleges were introducing
our system, these very schools were
loudest in their claims that the
system would not make good, and
now, since they have seen the
Byrne Business Colleges grow to be
the largest in the Cnited States they
want to obtain patronage under the
false claim that they are teaching
the Byrne Simplified There is al
ways a great difference between the
original and the imitation. Byrne

Jentifntnt in a Pawn Shop.

those of a pawnbroker. Before the
young man got out of the shop tiie
broker called hi in,hack.
' ‘Here’s a picture —a woman’s pic

he said. “You’d better take it out.”
The young man blushed.
“I isn’t worth while,” he said,
“I’llJr<derm the thing in a week
or two.”
“Maybe you will and maybe you
won’t,” r< torted the broker. “You
