ETHEL WATTS-MUM FORD GRANT. Author 1H AVE LIVED IN MANY COUNTRIES, BUT I HAVE YET TO FIND A SOCIETY IN WHICH THERE IS SO LITTLE HYPOC RISY, SO LITTLE WILLFUL BLINDNESS TO SOCIAL EVILS AND SO GREAT AN INSISTENCE ON THE SINGLE STANDARD OF MORALITY AS' IN AMERICA. Consider U10 rescue work undertaken bv women's organization. Consider the social purity movement being launched in our schools. Consider even the common topics of conversation ut our dinner tables and among our young daughters. This conversation may bo unchild like, vulgar, indecent, but at least it's FRANK. Of course one sees women of all sorts in Fifth avenue, but so one does in the main thoroughfares of the big continental cities. The PARISIAN COCOTTE IS QUITE AS MUCH IX EVIDENCE in the streets of Paris as is her American protootypo in New York. Just because the latter cannot immediately be distinguished in the crowd bv a foreigner who has spent a few week with us is no sign of an inherent resemblance between her and the woman of fashion. ADMIRED HIS BRAVERY. WOMEN IN "CAGES." A Reminder of the Days When Crino line Wat the Vogue. Fifty -one private letters of Dr. E. Mart hex, phynUla 11 to the prince Ira IHTiiil. have Ix'on translated by Her mini Mlnll to form "The F.mprcss K11 genle and Her Circle." A letter from Biarritz (IS'itii describes tlio empress personally and discusses the fabulous amplitude, of t lie dresses (die wore: "All tliis stuff Is supported by a sort of skeleton of flexible Iron. The empress Is greatly attached to this cane, which to us hcciiim very ungrace ful and Inconvenient. Sho sticks to It In spite of the quips of tho emperor, to whom she Hlinply replies that she does not know how she lived so many years without a cage. "I can only find two excuses for this fashion. One Is Hint women who wenr it have their logs free In walking and are not haniered by Bklrts and petti coats hanging on their calves and thighs and Impeding their movements; the oilier, In her case. Is that there Is a sort of harmony between the ampli tude of the woman and the size of the apartments in which she lives. Here a doz.wi women adorn the salon admirably and are In harmony with tho wide spaces, the ample seats, the width and height of tho doors. I knew nothing of this effect, which I now understand, and I now see why this taste-false In itself-hns never theless a certain Justness la Its appli cation." Jam Is now cheaper than butter as a spread fin bread. STAGE HANDS. From the Important Carpenter Down to the Lowly "Grip. To the outsider tho term stage hand is applied to every one that works be hind the footlights except tho players, but there la quite an aristocratic line of demarcation. There nre tho stage carpenter and the assistant stage carpenter, who build scenery; there nre the property man and the assistant property man, who make and shape all kinds of things out of papier niaclio for properties and look after the furniture and decorations of the stage; there aro the fly men, who manipulate the ropes at the top of tho theater, hoisting and lowering scenery and also raising and dropping the cur tain. The natural habitat of these fly men is on platforms up In the flies, many feet above the stage, and when not otherwise employed they have the disconcerting habit of audibly gossip ing and playing cards. .Then there ore the electrician and his assistants, whose business It Is to operate tho lights. Tho humblest of tho regular staff is tho "grip." Tills man handles scenery and does general utility work about the stage. When exigency demands tho force Is added to from the roustabouts who usually Infest the stage cntrnnc ., eking out a miserable existence througr casual Jolts and "sponging" upon the members of the regular staff. Mary 8haw In London Strand Magazine. A Nervy Brit h Eu and His Recep tion by tin Eumy. Mere boys have ofieu shown the greatest 1ii-;o;m.i Id tl.o face of peril, both on and off the battlefield. How many know the story of the little Brit lsh bugler who accompanied Colonel Ronnie's column in I lie disastrous ad vance against General Jackson's lu trem hineiils at New Orleans a linn dred years ago? A witherii;g tire of cannon and mus ketry greeted the Hritish troops ns they charged the American redoubt a fire that for deadly accuracy has rare ly lieen ispialed. The young bugler at once climbed into a small tree and straddled a limb. From tliis conspicuous position he con. tinned to sound t lie vibrant call to the charge. Cannon balls and bullets killed scores of men beneath him and even tore away branches of the tree in which ho sat. Hut above the thunder of the artillery, the rattling of mus ketry and all the din of strife the shrill music, blown with all the power of the Httle fellow's lungs, rose unceasing. Colonel Kennie and most of the regi mental cllh ers fell, mortally wounded; the shattered ranks began to fall back. Hut the bugler still blew the charge with undiminished vigor. At last, when the Hritish had en tirely abandoned the field, one of tho American soldiers ran out from the lilies, took the youngster prisoner and brought him Into camp. Great was the boy's astonishment when. Instead of treating hi in roughly, according to his expectations, the warm hearted south ern soldiers, who had observed his gal lantry with admiration, actually em braced him. OHlccrs and men vied with each other in acts of kindness to ward this brave young lirllou. Youth's Companion. The ark wasn't much to brag on in other respects, hut Noah's wife had the satisfaction of knowing there were only two cockroaches In tho house. The Inevitable Comment. A committee of Investigating scien tists approached a lady. "Madam," said Professor Prewins, the spokesman, offering her a magnltl cent chrysanthemum of rare and lovely hue "madam, permit us to present this flower to you as a token of our high re gard. " She clasped the splendid blossom lu her Illy hand. Hreathlessly the committee awaited her response. "How beautiful It Is!" she answered. "What an exquisite shade of purple! I should lovo to have a dress of that color." Pr. I'rcwins nodded knowingly to tho committee, as If to say, "I told you so." The committee winked at the pro fessor and whispered, "You win." Newark News. One swallow doesn't make a summer hut It breaks a New Year's resolution. TURKISH TITLES. They Are Added to Pereons' Name Instead of Being Prefixed. Turkish names and titles are some times confusing to the ordinary reader, ami tliis explanation from the Turkish embassy at Washington may be of In terest, lu the first place, our Ameri can prefixes "Mr." or "General" be come sutlixes tu Turkish. The mayor of a Turkish city adds to his name Bo ledie Ralsi. Therefore It would not be Mayor John Smith, but Smith Holed le Ralsi A caliph Is a prince of the royal line and "Mohammed's representative," ranking next to the sultan himself in importance. The next title of Impor tance is sheik ill Islam, or bead of the Mohammedan faltb. Imam Is the title by which a priest is originally ad dressed. Pasha Is the highest title within the gift of the sultan. It is conferred chief ly on men who achieve distinction in arts and letters or lu commerce and Is more or less common among the great merchants of Turkey or those who un der the old regime had a hand In the collection of taxes The word "bey" attached to the name of a person Indi cates that the bearer is distinguished for service of the country. The term "effendi" indicates that the man so ad dressed Is higher In birth, breeding or education than the man speaking and is a va iable title, depending on the rank of those carry in 5 on a conversa tion. The grand vizier, or sadoraz.im, is the premier of the cabinet and Is the highest of government civil officials, i lie governor of a province is known as vali. This term Is added to the name Instead of being prefixed. Indi anapolis News. FATE OF OLD BOOTY. Beware of the Dog I In Jersey they bine an Interesting device for keeping 01T tramps and bur glars. A watchdog, loo ferocious and too valuable to lie allowed to run loose, is tied to n rope about four feet long, and this rope Is tied t a ring that runs loosely over a long wire alsiut four feet from the ground. The wire stretches from the back porch to a pole at the end of tho yard, and ns the ring slips easily over It the dog has tho full run of the yard without being ablo to bite visitors or Innocent passersby. The wire Is practically Invisible by night, and many a prowler has gone on his way a sadder but a wiser man after assuming from the looks of things In the front of tho house t lint there wasn't any dog. New York Mall. Hertie -What makes you think I've got no sense of humor? Gertie Your self appreciation. Representative Schuebol would have the farmers use nothing stronger than Gosh." The Only Judicially Accepted Ghoet Story on Record. Stromboli, the islaud volcano, known as the lighthouse of the Mediterranean, which Is in violent eruption, once fig ured In a court of law In connection with one of the most circumstantial ghost stories on record. In 1CS8 a Mrs. Hooty brought an action of Blander against a certain Captain Barnaby for saying that be had seen old Booty run ning into the flames of hell, pursued by the devil. The words were admitted, but for the defense It was proved that May 15, liS7. the day of old Booty's death, the captain, with a large party of friends, went ashore at Stromboli to shoot rab bits. At about 3:30 In the afternoon two men were seen running toward the volcano. Captain Barnaby exclaimed, "Lord bless me, the foremost Is old Hooty. my next door neighbor!" They then vanished In the flames, a fact of which every one took note. In addition to the testimony of Cap tain Barnaby and his friends, old Boo ty's clothes were brought Into court and Identified by several witnesses as being similar to those worn by the fore most man who ran Into the cratet. The Judge, Chief Justice Sir Robert Wright, was so impressed by this evi dence that he said: "Lord have mercy upon me and grant that I may never see what you have seen. One, two or three may be mistaken, but not thirty." Mrs. Booty lost the day, and the case still remains the only Judicially ac cepted ghost story on record. London Chronicle. Family Complications. Many ingenious complications In gen ealogy have been compiled, but the fol lowing one has the merit of being defi nite as to time, dace and people. It concerns a family living at Faversham, In Kent, in February. 1700. Old Ha wood had two daughters by his first wife, of whom the elder was married to John Cashick, the son, and the younger to John Cashick, the father. Cashick senior had a daughter by his first wife. This daughter old Hawood married and by her had a son, which led to the complication summed up in tho following distich, supposed to be spoken by Cashlck's secoud wife: My father Is my eon, and I am my moth er's mother. My sister Is my tlainchter. and I'm grand mother to my brother. London Tatler. ' DEALING WITH A THIEF. It Was an Unusual Method, but It Proved Effective. Governor Thomas Chittenden of Ver mont Is remembered for his great kind ness of heart ns well as for bis ability and force of character. He was the first governor of the state and lived in the liberal manner that befitted his office. His cellar, as was the custom of those days, was well stocked every fall with provisions. One winter night the governor's rest was broken by sounds comlug from his cellar. He left his bed quietly and, with a candle ready to light, made his way in the direction of the noise. As he reached the cellar he struck a light and saw a man taking great pieces of pork out of his meat barrel and stow ing them away in a bag. The governor approached the intrud er and In a commanding voice said: "Go on. sir! Fill up that bag and be off. Y"ou ought to be ashamed of your self to disturb honest people at this time of night!" The thief shrauk back, evidently much frightened. "He quick!"' continued the governor. "It is no fit time to keep me shivering here!" So stern was the governor's manner that the man was compelled to obey. "Now. begone!" went on Governor Chittenden. "When you are again In need of food come to me and say so. and I will give you more. Io not pil lage my house at night. If 1 ever have the smallest reason to suspect you of another such act you shall be punished for this offense as the law provides." It Is pleasant to know that the man came to the governor the next day to ask for employment, lu order that ho might pay for what he had taken, and that work was found for him, which he performed steadily and well. Youth's Companion. CIRCUIT COURT SIDELIGHTS August Guignard, one of the Jurors now serving in Judge W. L. Brad shaw's court in Hood River, sprung a sensation on the court and his fellow jurors Saturday when he came into court with a sofa pillow tucked under his arm and which he Is using to soft en his seat while deliberating with his 11 associates. When the Judge's attention was call ed to the matter and the fact that it was made up on the crazy quilt order, with such brilliant colors, he ruled that it was wholly within the statutes to permit the juror to use his own sofa pillow if his wife did not object However, when one of the Jurors undertook to crack peanuts during the session of the court he was promptly overruled in his conduct and during the court's recess paid his fine by di viding the peanuts with the Judge. The climax was reached when the judge inquired if the jury could stand for an evening session of the court, and one responded that he could If per mitted to get another bottle of medi cine.
