LEVELING TENDENCIES.
Kacltah Aristocrats Who Are Making;
Money la Trade.
Americana cannot lay claim to being
the only people who now take the sensi
ble view that bo man la degraded by
engaging In a lawful business. England
ta couilug round to the same way of
thinking. The old order of things is
changed. It la the aristocrats now who
serve many of the retail buyers with
groceries, vegetables, coal, and other
necessaries of life. The following list
of titled tradesmen would seem to em
phasize the statements:
Lord Hampden la said to supply the
best cream cheese, and his carts, filled
with all the fresh dairy produce of bis
farm in Sussex, go dally on their West
End routes.
Lord Londonderry will deliver half a
ton of coal with promptness. A grand
son of William IV. prefers a more re
tiring method of meeting the demands
of his customers. Through the medium
of the post he sends out his packets of
tea all over the country.
Among the smaller shop-owners who
belong to the old aristocratic families
of England is Lord Harrington, who
opened a shop a few years ago on his
London property that be might sell
fruit and vegetables grown at Elvaston
Castle. The late Lord Wlnchilsea was
the pioneer of the fresh vegetable cru
sade which started the shop in Long
Acre where all kinds of British farm
may be bought at the lowest prices.
Lord Portsmouth has gone Into the
mineral-water trade, a bottling estab
lishment for which he has started. The
restaurant business seems In high
favor. Mr. Algy Burke was one of the
first of the "upper ten" to put his en
ergies Into the management of a res
taurant. He succeeded In making
fashionable the restaurant known as
Willis' Rooms. Two other young men
of gentle birth have gone into the ho
tel business. These are the half-brothers
of Lord Trevor and Mr. Mostyn,
of the family of Lord Vaux of Harrow-
den. They have opened an hotel at
new watering-place.
Although the interest in millinery
shops owned and managed by society
women has somewhat abated, this field
of trade has found new workers. A
man well known In society is the latest
milliner. He has taken a shop In Bond
street a short distance from one over
the door of which he painted "The
Countess of Warwick," and nnder the
name of Camille be successfully car
ries on bis business.
Boer in a Box.
A most remarkable story has been
furnished to an Express representative
by the second oflicer of the R. M. S.
Goth, which has just arrived home
from the Cape.
On the Goth's arrival on Christmas
morning at Ascension Island, on the
homeward voyage, a Boer commandant
was discovered on board In a large
wooden case forming part of the cargo,
The "consignment" had been received
on board at St. Helena, and shipped as
a box of Boer curios for England. The
measurements of the case were:
T.ength, 4 feet 3 inches; breadth, 2 feet
4 Inches; and height, 2 feet.
When the box was opened the con
tents proved to be a live Boer command
ant, who gave his name as Smonerburg,
and owned that he was a prisoner on
parole.
Standing over six feet in height, he
was helped out of his cramped "room
In a veeak and exhausted state. He had
there been cribbed, cabined and con
fined for five days.
Enough food was stored to last him
for his voyage to England, but in being
stowed away in the hold his water bot
tles had been broken.
He was eventually landed at Ascen
sion under an escort, to await reship-
plng on a man-of-war for St- Helena,
where he will Join his brother Boers
In captivity.
The box in which the prisoner was
found was a most clever contrivance,
apparently of Boer carpentershlp, with
sliding panels. It contained clothing,
biscuits, potted meats, books, and a
candle and matches. London Express.
Spinsters in Denmark.
Denmark Is the one country In the
world, presumably, that place a pre
mium upon splnsterhood. A celibacy
insurance company has been founded.
If the bolder of a policy in the Celi
bacy Is unmarried at the age of forty
she Is considered immune and gets a
life annuity. If she marries before
forty she forfeits her policy and pre
miums. Between an annuity and a
husband a Danish maiden's heart
often rent with Indecision. In Sweden
and Norway there are several homes
for spinsters. One of these at least is
as attractive as It Is unique. It is the
monument to the memory of an exceed
Ingly wealthy old man who, dying more
than two hundred years ago, left the
major part of his fortune to the old
maids among his descendants. A su
perb home was built, furnished, and
managed by salaried trustees. It flour
ished and has.continued. Any unmar
ried woman who can prove blood re
lationship to the founder of the Institu
tion is entitled to admission in the
home. She Is given a suite of rooms,
a private servant, private meals, and is
subject to no rules save such as or
dinary good behavior demands.
Grimly Grotesque.

of Mr. Gilbert's Mikado, who will be

LI Hung Chang had, beyond all
doubt, an Iron will and a very unsentl-
mental heart. Once, when he was
iceroy of Chi-LI, a man who had tam
pered with a telegraph wire was
brought before him. The man wrung
his hands and begged for mercy, say
ing that he would never touch the wire
again. "Don't be vexed, my good fel
low," said Li, "nor trouble yourself
any further about the matter. I'll see
that it does not happen again." Then
he turned to the gaolers and gave the
order "Cut oft" his head:"

SCIENTIFIC" BEEF.
The Soaat
Beef of Old England :
Deteriorating-.
England would not be England with
out its famous roast beef. Patriotic
Britons axe stJTl under the delusion
that by paying the price they can ob
tain the genuine article "as good as
ever it was, sir."
This Is another of the pleasant fic
tions which the faithful journalist is
obliged to shatter.
As a matter of fact, the distinctive
flavor which won the admiration of
King James has been slowly lost ow
ing to modern methods of fattening
cattle.
Tenderness and juicy quality un
doubtedly have been gained by modem
breeders owing to their scientific feed
ing of oxen; but the original "beefy
flavor, which took about three years to
become perfect. Is gradually being re
placed by quite nnpleasantant flavors.
For instance, and the British Farm
ers' Association is the authority con
sulted by the writer, Devonshire beef
has a. distinctly "turnippy" taste, due
to the roots and turnips upon which the
beasts are fed.
In spring beef of this flavor is more
noticeable, for It is daring the winter
months, when pasturage is scarce, that
the animals have to be fed on roots.
If for one month only, just before
slaughtering, the cattle were fed on
hay this objection would be removed;
but our cattle breeders are In such a
hurry to send the animals to the mar
ket that this month cannot be spared
when the demand for English beef is
great and pressing.
Oilcake is another artificial food that
affects the flavor. The taste of the oil
Is most unpleasantly perceptible when
the food is used to any great extent.
But it fattens very rapidly, so farmers
use It Six weeks only Is necessary to
get an ox Into market condition on oil
cake. What, then, is the finest beef for ta
blet The answer will come as a shock.
It is, according to an expert, the
American who "succeeds again."
American beef, bred from the finest
English stock, has many advantages
over the home-grown animals.
The pasturage In America Is ideal
Sunshine is abundant, and sunshine has
a great effect In the way of improving
the flavor of beef. The most exposed
portions of the animal, such as that
from which the sirloin is taken, are al
ways the best.
American beef comes over in chilled,
not frozen chambers. If the "ice gets
into the meat" the flesh becomes taste
less, but a cold chamber, the tempera
ture of which does not fall below
freezing point, arrests decomposition
without spoiling the flavor. London

CUT OUT HER DOUBLE CHIN.
Delicate Piece of Surgery to Save a
Woman from Suffering.
To save herself from death by suffo
cation and incidentally to cure a double
chin of prodigious development, Mrs.
Florence Shipley, of Baltimore, Md.,
has submitted to one of the strangest
sursrlcal operations on record. Her chin
was slit open In four places and a large
quantity of fat removed from her neck.
The operation was performed at the
University Hospital on Lombard street
A slip of the knife by a. hair's breadth
and the patient would never have
awakened from the ether. This she
fully understood, but preferred the risk
to further suffering.
Mrs. Shipley is a tall woman and
stout In proportion to her weight. For
years, however, an unnatural growth
of flesh under her chin has created a
pressure on the carotid arteries. All
efforts to reduce It proved fruitless. The
still healthy arteries, as time only in
creased the deposit, were crusned be
neath the weight of fat.
The carotid arteries carry the blood
from the heart to the brain, and their
deformity soon produced not only pain
but a lack of supply of blood that
caused periods of unconsciousness. Res
piration was also so far interfered with
that the unfortunate woman dreaded
suffocation.
So skillfully was the operation per
formed by three surgeons at the hospi
tal, says the New York World special,
that it is believed the four incisions
will leave no scar. For two days Mrs.
Shipley remained in the hospital with
her head in a plaster cast.

ANOTHER KEUAREABLE CASK
Which the Doctor Failed to
Understand.
Cur or
A medical man, as a rule, dislikes to
acknowledge the valne of a proprietary
medicine. In fact, professional eti
quette debars him from doing so.
There are many eminent physicians,
those most avanced in thier profes
sions, who give foil credit to the great
curative properties of Vogeler's Cura
tive Compound from the fact that it is
manufactured by an old and reliable
company, proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil,
from the formula of a brother physi
cian, who today stands in the front
ranks of the most eminent medical
men, and on account of its intrinsic
merit it is largely prescribed by the
medical profession.
Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the
particulars of her own case, which will
doubtless be of interest to many of our
lady readers:
"I had been an intense sufferer for
many years from dyspepsia, liver and
kidney troubles, when a pamphlet was
placed in my bands, and, although at
that time I had ' been bedridden for
more than six months, I determined,
after reading some of the cases similar
to mine, which had been completely
cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound,
to try some, especilly as my doctors
failed to even benefit me, and I had
given up all hope of ever being well
again. The very first dose of 15 drops
relieved me. It was not long before I
was able to get up and about; three
months from taking the first dose I was
enjoying better health than I had been
for 14 years. I should not have been
alive today had it not been for Vogel
er's Curative Compound."
Mrs. Nettleton paid : "I have recom
mended Vogeler's Curative Compound
for indigestion and eczema, and in
every case it has proved a cure, beyond
doubt. Mr. Swinbank, our chemist,
has sent me the names of no end of peo
ple who have been cured, by Vogeler's
Curative Compound. By the way, the
proprietors have so much confidence in
this great London physician's discov
ery, that they will send a sample free
to any person sending name and ad
dress, naming this paper." St. Jacobs
