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 Orleans Times-Demoerat. 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. French Family Statistics.

Republique Francaise, Paris. The New China. There is no longer any doubt, our Shanghai correspondent tells us, that the old order of thought which has guided the lives of countless millions In the Chinese empire through a long succession of centuries is passing away forever. The movement in favor of western education has become irre sistible.—London Times. 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 line. reports that a movement tins just been inaugurated by the commercial and scientific associations of Great Britain for the extermination of nits, which are very destructive to proper ty. The consul adds that it would appear that the United Kingdom of fers to American exporting chemists an attractive market for the. sale of some rat destroying Virus, harmless to other creatures, but spreading con tamination and death to its own kind. 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?" Did you tver hear of a married woman who handed her pay en velope un< pened to her husband every Saturday night. i 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.

A watch had just passed from the hands of a seedy young man into 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 ture —in the back of this watch.” 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 n -ver can tell about these things. 1 mty not be strong on sentiment, but one thing I insist on is that no man shall leave a woman’s picture in a watch that he pawns here.” Bcuklen's Arnica Salve Wins.
