LEVELING TENDENCIES.
KaarlUk Aristocrats) Who Are at afcta
Moaer In Trad a,
Americans cannot lay claim to being
the only people who now take the sensi
ble view that no man Is degraded by
engaging In a lawful business, England
Is coming round to the same way of
thinking. The old order of things la
changed. It la the aristocrats now who
serve many of the retail buyers with
groceries, vegetables, coal, and other
necessaries of life. Tbe following list
of titled tradesmen would seem to em
phasize the statements:
Lord Hampden Is said to supply tas
best cream cheese, and his carts, filled
with sll 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 wltb 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 poet be sends out bis 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 sgo on bis
London property tbst he might sell
fruit and vegetables grown at Elraston
Castle. The late Lord Wlnchllsea was
tbe pioneer of the fresh vegetable cru
sade which started the shop In Long
Aero where all kinds of British farm
may be bought at tbe lowest prices.
Lord Portsmouth has gone Into the
mineral-water trade, a bottling estab
lishment for which be has started. The
restaurant business seems In high
fsvor. Mr. Algy Burke was one of the
first of tbe "upper ten" to put his en
ergies Into the management of a res
taurant He succeeded In making
fashionable the restaurant known as
Willis' Booms. Two other young men
of gentle birth have gone Into the ho
tel business. These are the half-broth
ers of Lord Trevor snd Mr. Mostyn,
of the family of Lord Vaux of Harrow-
den. They have opened an hotel at a
new watering-place.
Although the interest In millinery
shops owned and managed by society
women has somewhat abated, this field
of trade bas 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 be painted "The
Countess of Warwick," and under the
name of Camllle he successfully car
ries on bis business.
Boer ia a Box.
A most remarkable story bas been
furnished to an Express representative
by the second officer 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 tne case- were:
Length. 4 feet 3 inches; breadth, 2 feet
4 Inches; and height, 2 feet
Waeo 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 s prisoner on
parole.
Standing over six feet in height he
was helped out of his crsmped "room"
in a weak 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 bold his water bot
tles had been broken.
He was eventually landed at Ascen
sion under an escort to await reehlp
ping 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 s 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 Deamark.
Denmark is the one country in the
world, presumably, that place a pre
mium upon splnsterhood. A celibacy
Insurance company has been founded.
If tbe 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 is
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 sgo, left the
major part of bis fortune to the old
maids among his descendants. A su
perb borne was built furnished, and
managed by salaried trustees. It flour

This Is another of the pleasant fic
tions which tbe faithful journalist Is
obliged to shatter.
As a matter of fact the distinctive
flavor which won the admiration of
King James bas been slowly lost ow
ing to modern methods of fattening
cattle.
Tenderness and Juicy quality un
doubtedly bare been gained by modern
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 unpleaaantant flavors.
For Instance, and the British Farm
era' Association is the authority con
sulted by the writer, Devonshire beef
bas a distinctly "turntppy" 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 during the winter
months, when pasturage is scarce, that
the animals have to be fed oa roots.

slaughtering, the cattle were fed on

Is most unpleasantly perceptible when
the food Is used to any great extent
But It fattens very rapidly, so farmers

CUT OUT HER DOUBLE CHIN.
Delicate Piece of 8urery to Sara m
Woman froa BnfferiaaT-
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 tbe strangest
surgical operations on record. Her chin
was slit open in four places and a large
quantity of fat removed from her neck.
Tbe operation was performed at the
University Hospital on Lombard street
A slip of the knife by a hair's breadth
and tbe patient would never have
awakened from the ether. This she
fully understood, but preferred the risk
to further suffering.
Mrs. Shipley is s 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, ss time only in
creased the deposit were crusned be
neath the weight of fat
The carotid arteries carry the blood
from tbe 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 wss 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 lesve no scar. For two days Mrs.
Shipley remained in the hospital with
her head in a plaster cast.

A medical man, as a rule, dislikes to
acknowledge the value 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 full 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 tne 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 bad been an intense sufferer for
msny years from dyspepsia, liver and
kidney troubles, when a pamphlet was
placed in my hands, and, although at
that time I bad beea - bodrkldoa for
more than six months, I determined,
after reading some of the cases similsr
to mine, which had been completely
cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound,
to try some, especilly as my djctors
failed to even benefit me, and I had
given np all hope of ever being well
again. The very first dose of 15 drops
relieved me. It was not long before I
wss able to get up and about; three
months from taking the first dose I wss
enjoying better health than I bsd been
for 14 years. I should not have been
alive today had it not been for Vogel
er's Curative Compound."
Mrs. Nettleton said : "I have recom
mended Vogeler's Curative Compound
for indigestion snd eczema, snd in
every case it has proved a cure, beyond
doubt. Mr. Bwinbank, 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, thst they will send a sample free
to any person sending name and ad
dress, naming this paper." St. Jacobs
