Book Writer Have a Mania for An lacloua and 1 retentions Works. If I ever get to Congress," said a man In a book store yesterday, "I am going to introduce a bill for the sup pression of fake historians. It will pro vide that any of them caught plying their craft shall be sentenced to six months, twice a year on the rock pile until they promise to be good." "What do you mean by fake historians?" ask ed another customer. "I thought there was more or less faking in all history, except, of course, historical novels." May be so," said the first man, "but what I bad reference to was the John ny-on-the-spot history that pops' up nowadays the minute anything big hap pens. Take this Chinese muddle, for Instance. It began last June, didn't it? Well, that's only a few months ago, yet how many histories or historical works bearing directly or Indirectly on the subject do you think have been issued? Half a dozen? Bah! Here's one cata logue In which I find twenty-eight, and I .dare say that doesn't represent half the sum total. A good many of them, I admit, are works of real merit, but they are put forward under false pretenses. They are books that were written care fully some years ago and are now 'brought up to date' by a little faked appendix. They treat of the Chinese situation from a viewpoint which was all right at the time, but is now com pletely changed. Hence they are mis- lading. But here's something a great deal worse. It purports to De a nistory or the recent complications, and is pub lished In excellent style by a very re spectable house. I read it the other night and was amazed at its audacity. Instead of being such a logical presen tation of facts as we have a right to ex pect from a work making any preten tions to historical method, it Is a clumsy hodge-podge of newspaper clippings, pitch-forked together in any old fashion to make a given number of pages, and most of them several years old. Prom the chapter headings one would sup pose that it contained information of real value, and I turned at once to the part dealing with the Chinese army and navy. It proved to be a newspaper arti cle that I first read directly after the war between China and Japan. Not a vessel it named is now in service. It is easy to say, of course, that the fellow who is fool enough to buy half-baked histories deserves, to be humbugged, but the average man hasn't time to think the matter over in advance. What I have said applies also to the snap-shot lives' that appear whenever a person age of prominence dies. In these pro gressive times the biographer can actu ally beat the embalmer." New Orleans Times-Democrat. COURTESY IN ONES HOME. Observe Society's Rules and Children 'Will Never Be 111 at Ease. When we read of court functions in foreign lands we notice that precedence is a thing determined by arbitrary laws, and should we spend a season in Wash ington we would learn that there are certain conventional rules which govern society and which cannot be violated by any one, from the lowest to the high est Precedence is an anomaly in the sim pie life of the ordinary home, yet it is an open question whether the cheerful contentment of the simplest household would not be increased if there wers more formality fit the daily intercourse of parents and children. Politeness would prevent much friction, for it inconsistent with politeness to squab ble, to say disagreeable things, to be brutally candid. Perhaps we do not half consider how much politeness saves us from as we go about among our friends. In home conversation precedents as to right of way should be with the el ders, says Good Housekeeping. Father and mother, grown-up brothers and sis ters, guests snouid be allowed to ex press themselves and little people should not be suffered either to inter- runt or to carrv on their talk In a hierh key so thai the older persons can hardly hear themselves speak. One finds in otherwise well-bred cir cles an amazing license accorded to the children, in their continual breaking in with queries or with information about their own matters, nobody taking no tice that they are learning to trample on others by the practice of speaking first and speaking loudest When mother comes Into a room, Hubert and Harriet should see that she has a chair. I can think of nothing ruder than the figure of a girl say 10, 12 or 13 years. calmly ensconsed in the most comfort able chair in the house, while, her mother, or her father for that matter, looks about in vain for as desirable seat Boys are, of course, taught to rise and give a seat -to any lady who enters room, also to rise and remain standing till a woman is seated, but the rule is often in abeyance to their own mothers and sisters. Tou may enter it on your records as a rule without exception. that no one will ever be at ease In so ciety who fails in the little daily ameni ties in the home. Only as we are most careful to Insist on perfect courtesy in our home life, can we expect that our children shall appear to advantage when they step on the larger world-stage beyond their own doors. - New Russian Coal Fields, In the immediate neighborhood of the city of Tchwartschovsk, in the Cau casus, a coal field extending over more covered.

Fitting Close to a Year of Exceptional and Unprecedented Activity. Braristriei'a exyti: A fitline close to a year of exci ptioual and in some respects unprecedented activity is fur- shed ly the very general report of j rge holiday imsiuess iu the past week. The best report as to this sort of trade comes from the Southwestern section, j but, except in some parts of the spriug , heat ami lumber belt of the North- est, satislactory advices are quite general. Heavy-weight clothing, too. has baen measurably helped for the same reason, but, despite a (rood busi ness in the last two weeks, ti e tra e has apparently lage 1 st me xhat, ow ing to mild weather. In wholesale trade, business has been of eearoonb y small piotiortions, but reports "from lading lines, such as ircn and steel. hoes and leather, lumber, glass, and spring dry goods, have been encourag ing, cbiefiy, of course, as regards the views entertained as to the outlook rather than as to new business actually accomplished. Speculation jn cereals has been light, and increases in suppliia and large surplus reports from the Argen tine Bepublic have still further de pressed the long inte est in wheat. The world's wheat supplies are about on a par with those of a year ago, and merican supplies are actually smalur. Prices are Heady and changes few.

Those officials of the 8 tats of Mis sissippi who are charged with the re sponsible commission of superintend ing the construction of the new capltol, which Is to cost $1,000,000, have had their attention called to a very excel lent article of stone which is said to exist In Inexhaustible quantities in an old wall extending from near Raymond in the southern portion of Hinds Coun ty to Brandywlne, In the county f Claiborne, some forty miles to the southwest and it Is possible a full in vestigation will be made before any contracts for the stone work for the capitol Is awarded. The existence of this great wall has been known for many years, but all previous efforts to interest- archaeolo gists and other scientists have proved futile, they having boo-hooed at the idea of any such prehistoric wonder in the .great valley of the Mississippi. But the wall Is there beyond all question, and so accustomed have the inhabit- ants of the vicinity become to its pres ence that their curiosity has become dulled, and they have long since ceased to wonder as to its origin. As stated, the old wall Is traceable for some forty miles but not without uumerous breaks caused by the wash ings and the accumulations of ages burying long stretches below the pres ent surface of the surrounding coun ry, but once the general direction is ixed the explorer has little trouble in lnding where It next crops above the uirface. The average height of the vi-all above ground is only three or four feet In the best exposed places, but here is no telling bow deeply imbed ded are the bottom layers. In some level stretches where the entire top of he wall is still above the surface, it Is from ten to forty feet wide and as solid as it could have been when first built. The stones average six feet long, hree feet wide and two feet thick, and ire estimated to weigh from two to hree tons. They are roughly but accu rately squared and dressed and imbed ded in as fine an article of cement as any builder of the present century need ever want to see. So tightly and flrm- iy are the great stones Joined together ihat it requires considerable exertion with pick and crowbar to loosen them from their ancient beds. It is understood here that a party of archaeologists and other scientists are preparing to visit Mississippi for the purpose of exploring the old wall. Great Find of Manuscripts. The Russians, on occupying Mukden, the capital of Manchuria, secured-rin other words "looted'Va large quantity ot very valuable Oriental MSS., which, by command of the Russian govern ment, are being sent to St Petersburg in order to be submitted to a minute examination at the hands of the au thorities of the Imperial Library, says a St Petersburg correspondent of the London Dally Mall. . ' - Among the MSS. there should be, ac cording to the view of Russian experts, many MSS. of Greek and Roman class ics, which were plundered and car ried away by the Mongols in their wars of devastation In Europe in the thir teenth century. Some European schol ars have combated this theory, which was put forward some years ago, but in any case the question is likely to be definitely settled at no distant date. The Mongols first became known and feared in Europe by the conquests of Jenghiz and his house In the thirteenth century. The Huns were the first wave of Mongols to burst over Europe. They even broke into Italy. Before the mid dle of the thirteenth century the Mon gols had conquered all Russia and Po land and all eastern Europe. Liegnitz, the battle which left Europe helpless before the Mongols, was fovght in 1241. Growth of Population In Germany. -The growth of Germany since, the war with France is the most remark able phenomenon of modern Europe. Since the treaty of peace was signed in 1871 Germany has not extended her territory by a single acre on the conti nent of Europe (if we except the acqui sition of Heligoland), but she has in creased her population by 16,000,000. The Germans numbered 40,000,000 in 1871; they number 66,000,000 now, and yet although there are so many more mouths to feed, the Germans are better fed, better clothed, and in every way more prosperous than they were then, This is attributed largely to the fact that for twenty years Germany de voted herself to improving the ele mentary education of her people. Unmarried Men and Women. - , Taking the Australian colonies in the aggregate, there are only seventy-five unmarried females for every one hun dred unmarried males. In New South Wales alone, according to the last cen sus, there are nearly 100,000 more un married males than unmarried fe males; in Victoria the excess Is up wards of 75,000; in Queensland it is almost 57,000; In Southern Australia, over 17,000; in Western Australia, 9,000; in Tasmania about the same; and In New Zealand, a little less than 44.000.
