THE' SALE OF TITLES.
Brazil Haa a Hospital That Was BUilt
Upon Man's Vanity.
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

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

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
