The Indications for Georgia for to day are for fair weather, with light variable winds. Eastern Florida, in creasing cloudiness, with fresh north east winds. With the first touch of winter comes the announcement that the coal trust is going to put up the price of coal 25 cents a ton on Dec. 1. The price is already what it was during the great strike. It must be highly gratifying to Mr. Watson to note how the Republican newspapers are poking fun at him, after he did all that he possibly could for the success of the Republican na tional ticket. Asa concession to the people, it is announced that the steel trust will reduce the price of rails to $24 a ton. But has not the trust been making a good profit in selling rails at Canada at sl9 a ton, delivered? The Philadelphia Inquirer advises the Southern Democracy to keep its eyes on Tom Watson and W. J. Bryan during the next four years. As If it would be possible to lose sight of them! They will personally attend to that matter. A Western bachelor, aged 45, recent ly Jilted by a widow, committed suicide because his companions of about his own age laughed at him. Why is it that men of above 40 years of age usu ally decline >to see ‘anything pathetic in disappointment In love? Republican organs are now talking of the possibility, even probability, of a revision of the tariff being under taken by Congress at its next session. Revision under Republican auspices will mean, of course, a still greater li cense to the trusts to loot. A young girl of Kentucky has de veloped a most remarkable case of kleptomania. She cannot resist the temptation to appropriate to her own use horses that belong to other people, she says. Some years ago she would have been called a horse thief, but un der modern interpretations she is merely an eccentric kleptomaniac. I— .. ■i— g g i ■ ■ Several days ago the announcement was made In the public prints of New York that Gov. Odell had won $300,000 on the election. There has never been any denial of the etory. The laws of the state of New York are very severe on the subject of gambling But Gov. Odell seems to be above the lew, In so <• ee eteouea gssunnng la eenoenietL - AMERICAN SHIPPING. How can American shipping be In creased? That Is the question that will be Inquired into by the Congressional Committee that meets at Brunswick to-day. A committee from this city appointed by the trade bodies will be present to discuss the question with the Congressional Committee. There is great interest In the sub ject in this city, as there is in Bruns wick, and other ports of the South ern states, owing largely to the bene fits that are expected to be derived from the Panama canal. Besides these benefits, it is felt that the greater part of the {200,000,000 a year which this country pays in ocean freight charges ought to remain in this country, in stead of going into the pockets of foreigners. When it is recalled that at one time in our history—in 1826—more than 92 per cent, of American com merce was carried In American bot toms, it seems to be a reflection upon American genius and enterprise that only about 9 per cent, of this trade is now carried in vessels flying the Amer can flag. No doubt there are plenty of Ameri cans who would engage in a seafaring life if the opportunity were presented to them in American ships. Why not then adopt a policy that would in sure the greater part of American commerce being carried In American ships, a policy that would make the American flag as well known in practi cally all parts of the world as it once was—as well as, if not better than, that of any other nation? There are three methods suggested for the building up of American ship ping, namely, the subsidy method of the Republican party, the methods of discriminating duties by which the Democratic party made the American marine about the greatest in the world and the free ships method. There Is no doubt that if American citizens had the privilege of American registry for ships purchased wherever they could be obtained the cheapest, it wouldn’t be long before the bulk of the country’s foreign commeroe would be transported in ships carrying the American flag; but there is no use dis cussing the question of free ships. The Republican party is strong enough now and promises to be strong enough for some years to come, to prevent any thing approaching free ship legislation. And there is strong opposition to the subsidy method, even among Republi cans. The Republicans have been try ing for several years to get a ship subsidy bill through Congress, and they don’t seem to be any nearer success than when the first ship subsidy bill was introduced. The Impression is strong that the subsidy method would simply build up another great trust, that the people would be taxed for the support of another giant combination. And then it is practically certain that it would be found that the subsidies provided at the outset wouldn't be suf ficient to accomplish the object aimed at, and that other and greater sub sidies would have to be voted to make the method a success, If it ever could be made a success. The chances are that the enriching of a.few capitalists is the only thing the subsidy method would accomplish. We might have fast lines of steamers to two or three Eu ropean ports, but not great fleets of steamers carrying the nation’s com merce to and from all parts of the world. Shipping men who have studied the shipping question and congressmen who are interesting themselves in it seem to regard With favor the method of discriminating duties. By discriminat ing import and tonnage duties the na tion’s merchant marine was built up in the early days of the republic, and it seems reasonable that the Same method would be successful now. It is true we are (bound by treaties and conventions with about all nations to make no discrimination against for eign ships In import and tonnage du ties, but It is provided in these treaties and conventions that they can be abro gated by one year's notice. Of course there would be a tremendous outcry by nations which are now doing our foreign carrying trade. They would threaten retaliation probably, but, as some of our public men have said in discussing this subject, if they submit without retaliation to the Dlngley tar iff rates they would probably submit without retaliation to discriminating Import and tonage duties. The discrimination would not have to be so great as to seriously impair our custom receipts or to be intolerably burdensome to foreign ships. It should be Just sufficient to Insure the ship ment of American imports and exports In ships carrying the American flag. If the policy of discriminating du ties were adopted it is certain that it wouldn’t be long before American ship yards would be busy. There would be such competition in shipbuilding that it is probable that ships would be built as cheaply In American as foreign yards. WANT TO LIVE 100 YEARS! Statistics go to show that the aver age of human life In becoming longer year after year; that, in the language of Insurance people, the “expectation” of life is higher now than ever before, with a tendency towards Improve ment. Should the improvement con tinue in the present ratio, towards the conclusion of the next century peo ple 100 years old will not be uncom mon. The Insurance Press publishes a table showing the death rates In some fifty Anerloan cities, compared with the rates of the same cities ten years ago. In almost every Instance the rate shows a decided falling off. The average ten years ago was about 20 deaths per year to each 1,000 of population. The average now Is a lit tle over 18 per 1,000. The causes re sulting In this better condition are many, of course, but in all probability the principal one# aro a better un derstanding of hygiene and sanitation, 1n connection Kh the sdvance made in the science of tnedteal practice. The Insurance Press, going soms whei into details with respect to dis eases, says that the average number of deaths from consumption In New Ougleu.d lUea 4u IMMA per ot SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1904. population, was 307; in 1900 it was only 214. In cities in the Middle States, the deaths from consumption averaged 314 In 1890; in 1900 only 234. In cities in the Lake States the record was 178 in 1890; 142 In 1900. In cities in the Southern stales the consumption death rate was 316 in 1890; 252 in 1900. In cities in the Western Central states no Improvement is recorded. In those cities there were 178 consumption deaths, per 100,000 population, in 1890, and a precisely equal number in 1900. Pneumonia is claiming more victims Instead of fewer. Some diminution is noticed in the death rate from typhoid fever, but the mortality from that cause has varied greatly, in different cities, in different years, due to epi demic outbreaks of greater or less se verity. The death rates from diph theria and croup have diminished, but not systematically and continuously. The mortality from pneumonia, can cer, heart disease, apoplexy, diseases of the kidney and other diseases of old age have increased. But this is for the very satisfactory reason that more persons attain the higher ages. REMOVAL OF THE NEGRO HOSPI TAL. The agitation for the removal of the Ceorgla Infirmary, the hospital for ne groes, one of the ancient institutions of the city, from its present location, has resulted in the crystalization of public sentiment that it shall no longer be permitted to obstruct the growth of the southern section of the city. There is, however, another reason why the institution should be removed. It is this: It is too far away from the homes of the negroes. When the infirmary was established on its present site, only a part of which is now its property, it was more than a mile from the built up part of the city, and it was seldom used, for the reason that the negroes were well taken care of by their owners. Con ditions have changed, and the infirm ary is now the only place to which ill or injured negroes in need of spe cial attention can be taken. Hence, it should be closer than it is to the sec tion in which the greater part of the negroes have their homes. A a it is, if a negro suffering from illness at his home is ordered to the hospital, he has to be taken a mile or two. The most densely populated part of the negro section Is on the extreme western edge of the city, and it is to that locality the infirmary should be removed, because it is needed oftener there than elsewhere. The city is as interested in the In firmary as much as its trustees are, if not more, as It is its duty to make provision for its support, just as It makes provision for the support of the hospital for white people. It could well afford to be liberal in dealing with the question of the infirmary's re moval. It should purchase the present site at its full market value, and should see to It that another hospital, In a more convenient section of the city, is erected. r .. 1 There should be no dickering about the price of the infirmary's property. Whatever the land is worth should be paid for if, and the new hospital should be a great improvement upon the pres ent one. even if the city has to con tribute something towards it. And the inducements of a better hospital and a better locat'on. from the standpoint of convenience, should be strong ar guments with the hospital trustees in favor of a removal of the present in stitution. During the hey-day ot Populism that party had no more prominent or in fluential spokeeman than the atten uated, bewhiskered Peffer ot Kansas. He sat high in the party councils, and took all of the government patronage that chanced to be lying around with in reach. He is alleged to have placed about every member of his family on the government pay rolls. In clerk ships or other positions, and to have made a considerable lot of money out of his single-hearted patriotism. Pef fer, who is now back in the Republican party, has lately broken into the pub lic prints with an Interview on the re cent election in which he advises all former Populists to become Republi cans and stand loyally by the party. Asa matter of fact all Populists who are like Peffer. and regard the gov ernment as a "good thing,” to be "worked for all it is worth,” ought to be in the Republican party. But those who think that the government's basic principle should be equal opportunities for ail and special privilege* for none will Quit their rainbow-chasing and adhere to the only "party of the peo ple" that there is in this country. The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) com menting on the outcome of the elec tion, wants to know “why should not the South have joined in this national movement?” To which the Record of the same city replies: ”No one is more capable of answering the ques tion than the Press itself; for no Re publican organ in the land has been more industrious in stirring the ashes ot sectionalism bv Its denunciations of the Southern states for putting re strictions upon ignorant negro suf frage and by its threats of limiting Southern representation In Congress and the electoral college. In the very issue wh'ch contains this inflated par tisan appeal to the South Is an edi torial paragraph repeating the menace of an attack upon Southern represen tation." Republican organs, like the Press, delight In slapping the South In the tool and at the name time profess to fall of understanding why the South has no klndlv feeling for the Republi can party. An English scientist has discovered that rays of light are emitted from the human body, and that the color of these rays are a sure index of char acter. He says: “The rays emanating from a very passionate man have a deep red hue; one whose keynote In life la to be good and do good throws off pink ray*. The umbltloua man emits orange rays; the deep thinker deep blue, the love! of art yellow, and an anxious, depressed person grey.** We are of the opinion that the deep red predominate# and that the deep Uue Is sektwuA encountered. , _ 1 The severe storm of a few days ago played havoc with telegraph and tele phone wires along the coast from Maryland northward. To a very great extent business was interfered with for two days or more. How long will the commercial interests of the country be willing to suffer isolation from corre spondents in other cities than their own every time a wind of more than usual velocity blows? The losses Incident upon the interrup tion of communication caused by the Btorm must have amounted to many thousands of dollars, and the re pairs made necessary by the damage must have amounted to other thou sands of dollars. And incidents of the kind occur year after year. Will not the demand for the putting of wires under ground become so strong after a while that it will have to be grant ed? It would, of course, be imprac tical to put all of the minor wires un der ground, ibut it seems that the tele graph and telephone companies would find it a matter of economy to insure the continuity of service between the great commercial centers by burying the wires connecting them. The country continues to remain on the tenter-hooks of anxiety with re spect to how the recent election re sulted. Neither James K. Jones of Ar kansas, nor Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, has yet been heard from on the subject. Mr. Jones, it will be recalled, never concedes anything, and Gen. Grosvenor -always claims everything. But when neither of them utters a word, as in the present instance, the country is left groping and disconso late. An Indiana archaeologist has dis covered, so he says, evidence which convinces him that Noah was a mil lionaire as well as something of a mo nopolist. Now, hadn’t we better let Noah and those old fellows of scrip tural times alone? From the distant, orthodox, point of view, they appear much bigger and better men than they probably would if we got too close to them. The chief of ordnance of the Navy Department says the naval gun fac tory has more work than it can do. Work on new ships for the navy is go ing on under high pressure. Ships are being constructed faster than officers and men are available for their hand ling. And this is in the midst of a profound peace! The President’s real thanksgiving proclamation will be read in his mes sage to the forthcoming session of Con gress. PERSONAL. —Yoshio Kinoshita, general passen ger agent of the imperial government railways of Japan will spend two years in the United States and in Europe in studying railway methods. —Baron de Serovskerken, the ambas sador from Holland to the United States, who has just arrived in New York, brought with him six servants end seventy-three pieces of baggage. —Rear Admiral C. M. Chester, chief of the naval observatory, has submit ted to the government a recommenda tion for provision for a naval expedi tion in 1905 to observe a total solar clipse. —Seymour G. Gourley, a Canadian Conservative, who was defeated in the. recent elections, during his two terms in Parliament earned considerable no toriety by violent attacks on the United States. BRIGHT HITS. —Even a postage stamp is no good if it gets stuck on itself. —Philadelphia Record. —“Well,” said Mr. Staylate for the tenth time, "I must be going.” “Oh, no; I assure you you're quite station ary,” replied Miss Patience Gonne.— Philadelphia Ledger. —“Yes, sir, this country should have the biggest navy in the world. I'd like to see anew warship christened ev ery day.” “You’re a naval man, I presume.” "No, sir; I’m a wine agent.”—Life. —“You don’t know what the trusts are going to do next,” said the alarm ist. “No.” answered Farmer Corntos sel, “and until I find out I’m not goin’ to quit my work to worry about It.” — Washington Star. CURRENT COMMENT. The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says: “Mr. Watson is entirely cor rect; the Populists should get together and use their own party name. They have no business masquerading as Democrats, and those who profess to be Democrats are in honor bound to promote the interests of the Democ racy and not those of Populism. Mr. Watson's political and economic views are nearly all wrong, and most of his facts are fictions; but on the point of political honor he Is entirely sound. If there be Socialists or Populists, let them have their own party and not try to sneak into power under tho name and flag of some other party.’* The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.) says: “Governor-elect Douglas of Massachusetts, says of his success ful campaign: “I told our people that Massachusetts put {6 In the protection pool for every dollar it took out: that our 650,000 homes contributed 165,000,- 000 a year to the tru te; that the steel trust alone reaps {80,000,000 a year out of protection, and pockets It, selling abroad cheaper than we can buy from It. And yet they have the assurance to tell us the trust question has nothing to do with the tariff.' The people of Massachusetts seem to have voted for both the man who told them that they were being robbed and for the men who are robbing them.’* The Columbia IS. C.) State says: “If the advice of Mr. Harvle Jordan of Georgia could be carried Into effect, the farmers would within a short time be offered 12 cents per pound for the cotton they held, but then If they all offered to sell the prices would Imme diately take a precipitous tumble. The farmers should not attempt to 'hold up' the manufacturers, but they should be prepared to resist the holding up process by the manufacturers and speculators. To succeed there must oe Intelligent and extended organiza tion, backed by ample capital and hav ing wide Influence. The best market is that giving profit to producer and weaver, an even market having the Iwsst fluctuation. The farmers will, we dare say, be eatlefled to sell their cotton for 10 oents per pound for all time and the manufacturers can af ford to pay that much. That result may be brought about only with the cordial, earnast support of Uie oulUmi producers.” . _ . The Geographical Baby. The baby sat In his buggy with an Afghan made of Saxony over his lap, a Fez on his head, while his shoes of Morocco pepped out from the cover ings, says the Baltimore American. Under his buggy was a Smyrna rug, while his tippet of Astrakhan lay close by. A faint odor of Cologne emanat ed from his garments as he waved his hands at a reflection of himself in the French mirror. This reflection the baby regarded as a cousin German of himself, and, as a true Bohemian, he offered to share his bottle with the other baby. His underclothes were of Egyptian wool, his dress of India linen, his ker chief of China silk: the fur on his stormooat was of Thibet, while a Japa nese chrysanthemum and a Siberian crabapple lay just out of his reach. The lace on his gown was Irish point, his socks were of Spanish me rino. His mother was finishing her dinner of Sicilian olives and Turkey, of which she would give the baby none on ac count of the Greece, while the father was somewhere hitting Scotch and soda, Swiss cheese and English wal nuts. The goldfish near by showed their Finns, and the Poles of the globe in the corner were distinctly visible. At length the mother returned, in her Russian Blue Paris gown trimmed in Valenciennes, her breath fragrant with Russian tea, telling the baby he had been a regular Spartan for wait ing so patiently while she had been Roman elsewhere, and declaring she would never let another Dago by with out getting him a Canary; that she had promised it to him, honest Injun, and didn’t want him to think she was a Welsher. Then she gave him a Brazil nut and a piece of tamale flavored with Chili sauce, declared she was colder than Greenland, called the colored attend ant a Hottentot and tipped him with a Canada dime, murmured something derogatory to Dutch treats and started home. On the way she stopped and ordered some Brussels sprouts and the mate rial for a Spanish stew, sampled some cream of Tartar and hustled on. And yet she expects that child to grow up a loyal American. Our Great Country. In a Pullman c'ar a pleasant old gen tleman came and settled himself oppo site Robert Edeson. ‘T beg your pardon,” affably began the former. “I always take the liberty to approach my fellow travelers. I myidf ”° U t 0 be an En S' lislltrtan . like I am not one,*’ smiled the actor, who seemed to regret the circumstance be cause 'the spirit of the other was so loyal. The old gentleman put him at ease "It doesn’t matter. Have you no ticed that we are traversing a very beautiful stretch of country?" “Charming." “I Judge you to be a German, like myself.” * "1? No, no!” “Of course, you enjoy traveling?” "For a change, yes.” "Quite so. I judge you to be a Frenchman, like myself.” "I am not.” The actor began to marvel secretly and frowned in order not to smile at the racial discrepancies of his com panion. “Did you vote?” pursued the old gen man, imperturbably. ' "Oh, yes.” “I thought as much. Like myself, I judged you to be a public spirited citi zen, being an Irishman. lam one.” “I am not an Irishman,” laughed Edeson, outright. B arer'’° Uld y ° U mln<l Baylng wha t you ”1 am an American.” The old gentleman eagerly extended his hand. "Shake! I knew we were brothers. I have Scotch and Spanish in me, too Say, this is a great nation, isn’t it?” There Were No Profits. “Pa,” said the speculator's son, ac cording -to an exchange, ”1 want some money for a little speculation.” "I am pleased, my boy,” returned the father, as he fished a sovereign from his pocket, "to see that you 'are tak ing an Interest in the business af fairs of life. Now, I won't ask you what this speculation is, tout I will go halves with you on it. I will fur nish the money and you engineer the business, and we will go halves on the profits. Of course, if there are none, I lose my money and you your time.” ’’All sight, pa. I’ll make the invest ment to-day and report progress to morrow.” The next evening, when the father returned home, he inquired about the "deal.” “No good!” was the sententious re mark of the youth. “No good?” exclaimed the old man ir. surprise. ”Yes, no good,” replied the boy. Never saw such a decline In stocks In my life. Shrunk quite out of sight It was a good Investment yesterday goods worth their face value then but to-day you couldn’t give them away ” a "® ut :,, for heaven’s sake, Georgle, what did you Invest in?” "Theater tickets for last night’s per iorman-ce.*' The old man thought very hard for a time’ and then expressed himself to the effect that the boy was fitted for a company promoter rather than a speculator. Reminiscent of Senator Hoar. Private John Allen was reminded of Senator Hoar's cross-examination of Dan Houser, of Helena, when the leg ality of Senator Clark’s election was being Investigated by the committee on privileges and elections, says an Exchange. Mr. Houser testified that Mr. Clark consulted with him prev ious to the campaign, and Inquired whether In Mr. Houser's Judgment he had any prospects of election, says W E. Curtis, In Philadelphia Press. Mr’ Houser replied that there would be no difficulty If Mr. Clark would loosen up.” “Wl/at’s that,” asked Senator Hoar. *T said he could be elected all right If he'd loosen up,” repeated Mr. Hous er. ”1 do not understand you,” said Mr Hoar. "He did," said Mr. Houser. “That was more important,” retorted Mr. Hoar. “I suppose that loosen up Is some occult mining term ** "Not a bit of It.” said Houser. “It’s a flnanefal phrase of wide and deep significance.” • ’ “And what did you want him to loos en up?” persisted Mr. Hoar. "His dough, of course. I wanted him to loosen up his dough.” "Did he do It?" suggested the senator from Massachusetts In tils most inno cent manner. “He did," said Houser sharply. Something Snmlc. A waitress In a restaurant In a Northern town is known to the mem bers of the establishment for her ready wit, says Comic Cuts. An occasional customer went in the other day for dinner. After receiving his order the waitress handed him a newspaper to while away the time that would elapse before dinner was served. He looked ua after a few mlnutwi and Mild “l say, ml##, have you nothing com ic to look at?” “Weil, sir.” replied the waitress, without a smile, 'there'* a looking flats straight la (rout of you, air.” HOW TO STORE KNOWLEDGE. From the Address by Dr. P. H. Pye- Smlth at the Opening of the Medi cal Faculty of the University of Birmingham. England. Learn to use your senses, be quick to notice any changes in the house you live in, or in the clouds and sky, open your eyes to sights of birds and insects as you walk, your ears to their songs, and your heart and intellect to the impressions of nature. Look as w r ell as see. listen as well as hear, touch as well as feel. Practice judg ing distances and making allowance for different kinds of illumination, learn to detect the optical and sensory fallacies of which you read in books on mental physiology. Exercise not only your muscles, but your power of discriminating weights. Cultivate walking and make it a pleasure as well as a convenience. Take every oppor tunity of learning any bodily exercise, whether riding or swimming, rowing or sailing, and whatever you do do it, as Fox said he did, “with all your re sources at the time.” Learn, as you may very well without being artists, to draw sufficiently to explain your meaning. Never waste time over worthless literature, and in order to be sure what is good read chiefly that which has withstood devouring time and remains to us as the carefully winnowed and approved result of the imagination, the wisdom and the wit of past centuries. Beware of preju dices, prejudices of your profession, prejudices of your education, prejudices of your country. Remember that all that you think of England, and which you rightly ought to think, is also thought by French and Germans and Americans and Hungarians and Chi nese concerning their own country; the strength of its inhabitants, the beauty of its women, the courage of its soldiers, and its excellence in all the arts and refinements of life. RE EEII OLD LAW. From the Pittsburg Gazette. In the code of laws passed by the towns of Windsor, Hartford and Weth ersfield in the year 1738-39 may be found the following on tobacco chew ing: "Forasmuch as it is observed that many abuses are crept in and commit ted by the frequent taking of tobacko, it is ordered by the authority of this court that no person under the age of twenty-one years nor any other that hath not already accustomed himselfe to the use thereof shall take any to bacco until hee hath bought a certifi cate under the hands of someone who are approved for knowledge and skill in physicks that it is useful for him, and also that hee hath received a ly cense from the courts for the same. “And for the regulating of those who either by theire former taking it have, to theire apprehensions, made it nec essary to them or upon due advice are to the use thereof, it is or dered that no man within this colonye after the publication hereof shall take any tobacko publiquely in the streets, highways Or any barnyards or upon training days, in any open places, un der the penalty of sixpence for each offence against this order in any of the particulars thereof, to bee paid with out gainsaying, uppon conviction by the testimony of one witness—that ! without just exception—before any one magistrate. "And the constables in the several towns are required to make present ment to each particular court of such as they do understand and can con vict to be transgressors of this order.” SOUNDS HARD TO IMITATE. From the Baltimore Herald. "That man can imitate perfectly the Jingle of money,” said, In a tone of eulogy, a young woman. “Well, what of that?" objected her companion. “That ought not to be hard to do.” "Try to do it.” The objector, after summoning Into his mind the sound of jingling money, tried. “R-r-r-tat-tat,” he went. "Br br-bra-ra-ra. Chk-chk-chk.” Then he smiled apologetically, for he had failed. Not by the furthest stretch of the im agination could it be said that he had uttered a sound that resembled money's Jingle in the least degree. "I knew you couldn’t do it,” said the ypung woman. “It is amazing how many simple sounds there that we can’t imitate, try as we will. There is, for instance, the sound of a person walking, the sound of a typewriting machine in operation, the sound of run ning water, the sound of a breaking dish. You can’t imitate those common place noises, and I doubt if anyone in the world dan. Our vocal capacity seems to us large, but it is really lim ited enough—as limited as many ani mals, and muoh more limited than cer tain birds. That is why I honor a man who has extended his vocal Capacity sufficiently to Imitate the pleasant, sil very sound of money’s jingle.” LIVELY YOUNG ALFONSO. From the London Chronicle. There is a grave crisis in the history of Spanish etiquette. King Alfonso XIII, who is described by a French Journal as ‘‘impulsive, and at the same time ‘sporty,” wishes to make a royal progress through his kingdom in an automobile. Horror of the Prime Min ister! Such a vehicle, says he, is be neath the dignity of a monarch to whom the constitution has intrusted the “sumptuous car of the state." The sumptuous car must not be driven by petrol. Horses are still harnessed to the chariot of the sun. But Spanish etiquette does not pre vent the monarch from 1 traveling by railway. Lady Currie tells a story of a young man who jumped into a com partment one day on an English train and started a conversation with an old lady who greatly admired his pleas ant manners. When he was alighting she asked his name, and he answered, blithely, “Alfonso.” He was Alfonso XIII. then a cadet at Sandhurst. The anecdote probably will be read at Mad rid with pain and Incredulity. TIIE TIP IN POMPEII. From the London Chronicle. The necessity of tipping with a lav ish hand Is strongly enforced in a res taurant near the station at Pompeii. In a prominent position is placed a gaudily framed sketch of the interior of the dining-room, with two clients taking their departure. One of them, a cowed-looking individual, is strug gling into his overcoat, while two waiters stand near him, the one smil ing derisively at the other, who dis plays a tiny coin with a gesture df fierce contempt. On the opposite side of the room a guest Is seen, surround ed by three waiters, one helping him with his coat, another brushing his hat, the third bowing obsequiously and holding his walking stick. The moral is obvious, but allowance is made for the proverbial obtuseness of northern nations, and underneath the picture Is Inscribed, in large letters, “The Results of Benevolence.” ONE MAN'S FAMILY.
