It was composed of 13 members, each representing-
a particular Mate, No more than
13,ever belonged to U at any one time, and
there is still a pretense of keeping up the
old orgAtUatlon at the place of its birth, in
the old fashiom hostelry or Miller o tne
third generation, at the corner of Madison
and Monroe streets, where the club and its
euestisitin thecominon wooden armchairs,
with towels spread over their laps, watch
tug the cooking of steaks and chops in the
most primitive style on a big gridiron t nrust
upon the lire coals in an old fashioned
square cast iron wood stove.
The steaks and chops are trimmed down
as fine as the butcher's art will admit, cut
in small strips, soaked In melted butter,
which also saturates the toasted bread
upon which they are served to the expectant
and hungry throng, who must eat these
delicious morsels without knife or fork,
but float them down with good liquor.
The Tenderloin club is supposed to be some
thing of the same kind and is presided
over by John W Keller, who is also the
president of the Press club. But no ordinary

Hats In the Preeneo of a King.
The head of the De Courcys, earls of Kin
sale, is the only English nobleman permit
ted to wear his bat in the presence of his
sovereign. Out of sincere deference the De
Courcys wore their hats but for a moment
in assertion of their privilege, and then
promptly doffed them. One of the earls at
reception given by George HI kept his
hat on for a considerable time. At last the
king became vexed and humiliated him by
saying, "The gentleman has a right to be
covered before me, but even King John
could give him no right to be covered be
fore ladies."
William m illustrated his royal obsti
nacy by refusing to remove his ponderous
beaver when at church, much to the indig
nation of the worshipers. Their indigna
tion did not worry him any. The Dutch
wore their hats during divine service, and
be had not ceased to be a Hollander simply
for having become a king of England. The
last sovereign of the Tudor race, together
with his courtiers, wore very high hats,
which became the steeple hat of the Puri
tans in the middle of the 17th century.

Laborer's Cork Models.
James Anderton.an agricultural laborer,
in early life earned the sobriquet of Cranky
Jimmy from the fact that he devoted 10
years to the construction of an exact model
of Lincoln cathedral in corks, of -which
mora than 1,000,000 were used. Anderton
used to engage in bis self Imposed task
after be had finished his day's work in
the fields, and walked almost daily three
miles to the cathedral in order to perfect
himself in the details of the edifice, picking
up corks wherever he could find them.
In time corks were supplied him in abun
dance, and by dint of enormous patience he
was enabled to accomplish his work. An
derton also worked a similar model of
Scott's monument, which was deemed
worthy of a place in the exhibition of 1862.

A Plain Diet.
An artist whose studio is near Central
park tells of a visit that he made to Mount
Desert before that island became the popu
lar resort that it is now. He wanted to
make studies of some of the scenery that
was at a distance from Bar Harbor, and
could find no ot her shelter than the cabin
of an odd fellow who spent hi summers
there as a hermit and lived entirely on
crackers, cheese and water. "I put up with
him several days," said the painter, "and
1 never realized how wildly disgusted a
person could become with a limited diet. I
didn't want to see crackers and cheese
again for months." New York Sun.
Why Women Live Longer Than Men
It is an acknowledged fact that a great
age is attained by women oftener than by
men. Tissot with doubtful gallantry ac
counts for this by declaring that the large
amount of talking for which women are
famous is a very healthy exercise, and pro
motes the circulation of the blood without
overexerting the organs. The true reason
probably lies in the quieter and more regu
lar life usually led by women, whose nerv
ous systems and brains are consequently
not worn out so quickly, as a rule, as those
of men. St, Louis Post-Pispatch.

not reciprocal, and having ended his ad

TRAINING THE VOICE.
Bow Staging Through the Mae Save the
Throat a Deal of Friction.
The old way of curing sore throat has
been superseded by a method working from
the mind side. All methods for training
the voice or body ii of any value must
prevent friction. The body is the servant
of the mind, and the best teaching is a de
velopment of that law.- For example, try
to pick up a marble and notice the way
your hand unconsciously adapts itself to
taking hold of the marble; then reach after
a big ball and watch the way your hand
shapes itself to the size of the ball, for the
right thought then is the marble or the ball.
The tongue is always an unruly member
and refuses to be driven, but fortunate!

the nose, hot only do you get a finer tone.
bnt the tongue automatically moves out of
the way to allow the tone to pass tnrougn
the nose, thus leaving a space at the Die.
ef the tongue and preventing the friction
of the back of the tongue against the
throat, which is generally the cause of sore
throat. But some on will say. Does not
using the voice in that way giva you a
nasal tone, and wake you "talk through
your nosef" No; a nasal tone is one that is
caught in the nose, as when after pinching
thanose you try to talk.
The voice is always the same, whether
singing or speaking, only the more the voice
is used the greater wilt be the suffering
from an improper use of it. Many injure
the voice by trying to Ml big places, wnen
all that is necessary is to let the mind re
alise by a look what the voice has to do
and then trust the voice to answer of itself
the unconscious appeal made to it by the
mind. This plan takes away all strain from
the voice. The difference between this and
certain "faith cures" is that they say, "By
thinking your throat is well it becomes
well if you think strongly enough,"
whereas we say, "The right thought. If
held long enough to become a habit and
practiced upon, will prevent the friction
which causes sore throat, and the cause be
ing removed the throat becomes strong."
Dr. Morel 1 Mackenzie Bays, "For those
who wish to apeak well it is a good plan to
learn to sing, as the greater includes the
less." . So if a teacher can show you how
to bring out the tones of your singing voice,
your speaking voice will be aided. I am a
singer and studied this method five years
ago, when I had a chronic sore throat, It
took faith and industry on my part and
six months' work by my teachers to cure
me. but my throat, from being my weak
est, has become my strongest point, and I
have since had no trouble witn it. iney

then adding articulation, always humming

Bow Little Kings Are Known.
It is a curious fact, considering the great
interest taken in crowned heads, that of all
the leading statesmen in Europe the kings
are the least accurately known. Even
Queen Victoria is scarcely understood by
her own people, and we shall probably find,
when the memoirs of her reign come to be
published, that the best of constitutional
sovereigns had many qualities, and marked
qualities, besides her devotion to duty, and
the truthfulness, quite unnsnal In its de
gree, to which minister after minister has
borne testimony. That the emperor ot Aus
tria is a great diplomatist, that he is de
voted to the house of Hapsburg, and that
he can patiently tolerate constitutional
forms has long been widely known, but of
the remainder of his character no one out
ide a most limited circle has the least idea.
There are men who should know who say
he is an ordinary Uapsbnrg, rather want
ing in the usual knowledge of highly cul
tivated men, but with a certain instinct
for governing men, and there are others
equally qualified who believe him to be a
kind of Ulysses, hiding acute penetration
and something not far removed from cun
ning, under a mask of magnificent man
ners. That he la dntiful no one doubts,
but the object to which he considers that
duty should be paid is not so clear, nor
will it be unless destiny should unexpect
edly divide the interests of his empire and
of his house, hitherto throughout his reign
inseparable. London Spectator.
Telling: a Cows Age.
A cow's age is indicated by her horns.
At the age of 2 a ring of thick material
forms at the base of each horn, and one
ring is added every year after this becomes
apparent. To find the age, therefore, count
the rings and add two. In the case of a
bull, however, the first ring does not ap
pear until he is 5 years old, and one annual
ring appears after that, so to the number
of rings on a bull's boms five must be
added. The result attained is, however,
only approximately correct, for not only is
the time of appearance of the Urst ring on-
certain, but occasionally two rings appear
in one year, and then again sometimes a
year is omitted, no ring being formed. A
dishonest dealer can also change the appar
ent age of the animal by filing off some of
the rings from her horns, so that complete
reliance on this sign is sometimes very de
ceptive. St, Louis Globe-Democrat. , .. .

FRENCH COURTSHIP.
THE EYE OF THE VIGILANT CHAP
ERON WATCHES OVER IT.
The Life of the Schoolgirl In France It
Very Uneventful Her Demeanor la the
Ballroom Differ Much from That of the
American MaliUa.
The average A mcrican regards the French
Idea of marriage with horror without ex
actly knowing why. A young girl is edu
cated under the careful eye of her mother
or governess, who accompanies her to all
her classes, and considers it as only a mat
ter ot course to sit patiently with needle
work or book during the musio or singing
lesson. The girl is taught from her earliest
childhood that it is the destiny of woman
to become a wife and mother.
When she is about 18 years old, she makes
her appearance in societ y. The walls of a
French ballroom are always linea with
chairs. The mother and daughter take
their places aide by side, and the two chairs
are theirs tor the evening, w lien a man re
quest a girl to dance, he writes his name
on her card and does not appear again un
til the dunce begins. Then he puts his
"claque" (opera hat) ou the girl's chair, with
her fan, and with a bow to the mother leads
her off. Someti mea during the whole dance
not a word is exchanged between the two.
Such a thing as "dividing" a waits or sit
ting it "through" while the musio plays is
unbeard of, though promenading is per
missible. When the dance is finished the
girl is led back to her place, and with
"Thnnk' you, mademoiselle," and "Thank
you, monsieur," the couple part.
To the American girl the idea of thank
ing a man for dancing with her is prepos
terous, but her French sister is more philo
sophical.
"Why shouldn't I thank hinif" she asks.
Has not the dance given me aa much
pleasure as it baa given him, and is it not
a compliment to be chosen from so many
irirlsf Then why not be politer"
After a season or two in society maaame
decides that it is time her daughter should
be married. At present it is the fashion
for wealthy people to spend the summer in
their own cottages by t he seaside, and there
young people meet and are allowed a cer
tain degree of freedom, though always un
der the eye of a chaperon.
After the trench girl la fairly well ac
quainted with her future fiance, though
this is not always the case, some relative
of the young man is charged with tuu deli
cate commission of presenting his case te
the mother of the young lady. The educa
tion, social position, disposition, health
wealth and prospects of each are discussed
with the greatest frankness. Then, if the
two are not already acquainted, the girl is
taken to the theater and the men call on
her in the box or the two are invited to
dine at the house of a common friend. If
either does not like the other, the matter is
ended, for it fc a very unusual thing tor a
parent to force a child into marriage. If,
however, the liking is reciprocal, other meet
ings take place, the two are allowed a few
moments of privacy, a walk in the garden
or a conversation at one end of the room.
if the result is satisfactory the marriage it
decided 00 and takes place three months
afterward. The question of "dot" (money)
Is a serious one.
It is absurd to say that French worries
are married ouly for their money. It is al
most an impossible for a man in ordinary
circumstances to marry a poor girl. The
education of the average man is far more
complete in France than in America. Every
family tries to send the boys to school until
they are at least 18 years old. Then comes
the military service, and a man begins bust
ness when be is about St. If his family
are in moderate circumstances, it is proba
ble that the son accepts a government posi
tion with a salary of 130 a month. At 80
years of age, if he is industrious, he may
make HO a month. How is it possible to
support a family on so small a sum t The
only solution is to marry a girl with about
the same Income. It is not necessary for
her to have a large capital if she has any
means of supporting herself. This also ap
plies to cultivated people.
A marriage In trance Is not the easy
thing it is in America. The consent of the
parents of both parties must be furnished.
or if that is not possible and they are of age,
then the refusal must be obtained, together
with their birth certificates and the mar
riage certificates of the parents. If the lat
ter are dead, their death certificates must
be procured before the bans are published.
A religious marriage is not recognized by
law, and it is usual for the civil marriage
to take place at the mayor's office in the
early morning and the religious marriage
In the church at noon, though often the
civil ceremony is read the day before the
religions ceremony takes place.
' As France is a Catholic country the
double marriage is customary. The groom
wears a dress suit; the bride, a high neck
white gown. The bridesmaids and bridal
party are all in high necked dresses, as it is
considered the height of impropriety to
enter a church decollete. After the serv
ice, during part of which the bridal couple
sits on chairs with their backs to the con
gregation, the bridesmaids take up a col
lection, passing purses made of the same
material as their dresses. The proceeds are
given to the poor.
The question is often asked, "Are French
marriages usually happy t" As a rule they
are more so than American marriages. The
man is carefully selected by the bride a
parents, who are better able to judge what
will prove a suitable match than a girl of
80, who knows so little of the world and
has seen so few men that she is commonly
ready to love the chosen one. It is the
fashion for French writers to deal with im
morality of all sorts, and this gives for
eigners a false idea of things. As a matter
of fact, the standard of morality of the
middle classes is quite as high in France an
in America, while the so called upper cir
cles are about the same in all countries.

The Dlacoverjr of Felt.
Felt is a union of animal hair with wool
In such a manner as to produce a firm, com
pact substance. Its discovery was of so
much importance that it seemed necessary
to attribute it to divine agency, and hence
we have a tradition of saintly origin. When
St. Clement was fleeing from his persecu
tors bis feet became blistered, and in order
to abate the pain be placed wool between
his sandals and the soles of his feet. On
continuing bin journey the wool, by the per
spiration, motion and pressure of bis feet,
became a uniformly compact substance,
which was afterward denominated felt. The
Catholic hatters of Ireland and other coun
tries hold a festival on St. Clement's day,
Nov. 23, in honor of the discovery. Phihv

and recently he began to correspond with
one Alnttlo Wllkorson of Aleodvllle, mo.
Tho letters passed through Blanche's
hands, and soon they began to near evi
dence, of having been tampered with.
Then Miss Wllkorsou was excited. She
wont to the postmaster at Meadvllle, and
when a little later Mr. Green began to
make complaint of tho same cliumctor
concerning his receipts from Aliss UKor-
son it was derided to notify thu postotUoe
inspectors. Tho Mendvlllo postmaster
wrote to Inspector Paul K. Williams of it.
Louts, and Mr. Willlamsaftr holding a
consultation with the chief Inspector, tooK
the mutter up. Going to Meadvllle, he
caused Miss Wllkorson to write) in his
presence a letter to Green and to Inclose
in it a photograph. The picture was piac
ed face up, and only one-hulf tho envelope
was sealed. Careful note was token of
the relative positions and condition of the
picture, letter and envelope, and when 11
was all ready for transmission Air. 11
ilains carried it to the train on the Wa

There he showed It to the mall clerk for
the purpose of identification and saw him
put it In the pouch. Ho followed the
pouch to Fountain Grove and saw It
thrown off there, wutcneu miss uaj pies
It up, followed her to the postollloo and
saw her open the pouch and take out tn
hitter.
The next day, when Green called for lil
mail, he received the letter, but when 1
was opened in the presence of Mr. Wll
Hams the position of tho photograph wnr
seen to have been reversed, and the envel
ope was sealed on both sides, which It hm
not been when placed in the mail.
Mr. Williams now caused to be prepartt

adopted In the case of tho letter addressi

too, bore evidence of tampering.
Thereupon the inspector arrested Mls
Day, and she was given a bearing before
the United States commissioner, witn tur
result stated. A large numberof the peo-
plo of Fountain Grove testify to the good
character of Miss Day ana tne satiHion-
tory manner in which sho had discharged
the duties of her position.
The young lady herself unflinchingly
denies her guilt of the chnrgo. She de
clares that her arrest is the result of
conspiracy to deprivo her mother of the
poeto trice.
The fair defendant looked quite as Indig
nant as her words seemed to show her to
bo when she discussed the charge. She
said: "Do you think that if he bod been a
sweet heart of mine, and knowing that such
things were going on, he would not have
