Dom Pedro IL. who lost the throne of Hrazll in I8?i. was the last monarch to offer titles for sale. In order to ob tain funds for the erection of a hospi tal in lllo de Janeiro the emperor an nounced that he would confer the title of "baron" on every subscriber of 100. 000 mllrels and the title of "count"' on every subscriber of 'jr.0,000 mllrels. Many proved willing to become enno bled on these terms, and HiilUcient money was forthcoming to endow the hospital as well as build it. Over the main entrance may still be seen tlio In scription, suggested by Dom Pcdrq. "Human Vanity to Human Misery." Although French titles of nobility were abolished at the time of the revo lution by a decree 'bat was revived In 1871. yet the ministry of Justice Issues certificates of nobility. Members of the French diplomatic service who use titles have to obtain one of these cer tltlcates and pay stiffly for the transac tion. The fees In the case of a duke amount to $li,IO0, a nianiuls pays $2, 000. a viscount $1,400. a baron '$:500 und a chevalier $'Jf0. The certificate Is to the effect that, the pedigree of the holder having been Investigated, his claim to the title he bears has been fully established, and the seal of the republic Is atllxed to this patent of nobility. -Chicago News.

Pear eon's Weekly. A Queer Legal Precedent. Mr. Justice Holmes has the reputa tion of citing more peculiar cases from the old lawbooks than any other mem ber of the supreme court no dug up one recently to the nmusemeut of his associates, when It was contended in n libel suit that tho declaration was In sutllcletit because the offense:! were not stated properly. "That lends me to recall n case In the old books." said the Justice, "where nn Indictment set forth that tho ac cused struck a mnn on the head, split ting tho skull until a portion fell down on either shoulder, and the court held tho Indictment defective because It did not allege that tho man wns killed." The Justice observed that It wns a hair splitting decision and ho didn't In tend It ns a pun. either. New York Times. They Were Particular.

"'Can you tell us If there Is n first class drug storo In this vicinity?" asked tho spokeswoman. 'We wish to consult their directory.' " Chicago News.

ALL TOWNS TO GET IT LATER Butter, Eggs, Vegetables, Etc., Will Be Supplied on Domand Postmasters to Take Orders Printed Lists Will Show Available Commodities and Sellers' Names. Another method of reducing the high cost of living will be attempted In n scheme for the extension uf the parcel post syfctem. announced by Postmaster General Iturleson. Under tho new scheme the names of farmers and truck growers willing to supply their produce In retail ipinntl tles by parcel post will be obtained by tho postolllce department. This announcement followed closely the order of the postmaster general per mitting the use of crates and boxes for parcel post shipments of butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit. At ilrst the new system will be put Into effect In ten cities of varying size, where the workings will be closely studied. Later It will be extended to all towns In the country. The- scheme will bo Inaugu rated Ilrst at Hoston, Atlanta, St. Iuls, San Francisco, Washington. Halthnore, Detroit. Ijicrosse, Wis.; Lynn. Mass., and Hock Island. III. Postmasters Will Receive Orders. Tlie postmasters of these points have been directed to receive the naiiies of persons willing to supply farm produce in retail ipmntltles hy-parcel post. Printed lists of their names, showing In each case the kinds and quantities of commodities available, will be pre pared from time to time for distribu tion to city mid town patrons who wish to buy farm produce direct. Housewives need have no hesitancy in ordering their goods direct from tho producer, In the eyes of the postal of ficials, who clto the fraud laws ns a guarantee. Complaints of swindling would be investigated immediately by tho postolllce inspectors, and the pro ducer, If guilty, would bo punished. This scheme will eliminate the mid dlemen, often two or three for a sin gle article, It is said, and thus enable the purchaser to buy much moro cheaply. Government experts, after recent investigations, held that tlio middlemen nro tho ones who are keep ing the prices of foodstuffs so high. No More Going to Market. "By tho use of tho printed lists of producers the city consumer will bo able to get In touch with a farmer who will till his weekly orders for but ter and eggs and other farm produce," snld Daniel C. Hoper, first assistant postmaster general. "Tho consumer will receive the produce fresh from the country, and the personal relationship established will no doubt tend to im prove the quality. The farmer will be relieved of carrying his produce to market, as tho rural carrier will make dally collections at tho farmer's own door. "The point has been raised that dif ficulty will he experienced In the re turn of hampers and other containers. This prollem does not appear to me to be dltllcult of solution. The farmer may use Inexpensive hampers whoso value would not warrant their return, or he may use the higher grade ham pers, for which ho may Include an ad ditional charge to be credited to the consumer upon the return of the ham per by parcel post. "The postmaster general has tho firm conviction that this plan Is tho ono thing necessary to enable the people of this country to enjoy tho potential benefits of the parcel post. No ono has ever questioned the possibility of reducing the cost of living by estab lishing direct relations between tho ultlinnto consumer and the original producer," THt7 WORD "YES." We Are Charged With Rarely Using It In This Country. In tho United States "yes" is pre-eminently a Isiok word, though It Is also scattered soinewhnt thinly through the conversations of uveryday people and is employed habitually by a negligible number of Individuals who aro both highly cultures! and careful of their speech. Furthermore, as eomounds or set phrases tend to preserve old forms and old sounds, "yes" regularly occurs In all stock combinations. That Is why persons whose habitual alllrmatlve Is ordinarily "yeh-a." or "ch-a," "eh-up," "yeh-up." never say "yeh-a, sir," "eh-a. to bo sure," 'yep, miidaui," "eh-up, in deed." or "eh-a, thanks," for example. "Yes, Kir" 11 group which in various states, hut especially In New Kugland. Is occasionally employed as an emphat ic exclamation hind without any hu morous Intend In addressing girls or women l"ycs, sir," has several strik ing variations! (Irsl, "yes. ." an lie rciilimtlou as roirimui) mid Illogical as, that In "I hudn'l any reason In go," or In "Uii'h 11 iiiiirrh"! ." Then what U "yes, Mr tr'f Well.
