(HE CINEMATOGRARH IN EVIDENCE.
it Demonstrated that President Faure
W'as Correct.
The cincmctograph ' has settled an
tween I-‘rance and Russia that might
otherwise have added to the prevailing
political uncertainty in Europe. It
seems that Prince Bismarck, in an in-
terview with a German newspaper
man, recently observed that President
Faure, during his visit to Russia of a
few months ago, had behaved with
perfect propriety except upon one oc-
casion. This was when, at his arrival
in St. Petersburg, he received the Cos-
sack troops which acted as his guard
of honor. He was said to have re-
turned their salute by simply touch-
ing his hat, instead of taking off his
hat, as the protocol prescribes. Bis-
marck’s criticism was brought to the
French President’s attention, who
cudgclcd his brain to remember what
form of salute he gave on that momen-
tous occasion, but in vain. Neither
could any of his comrades recall. But
the other day the cinematograph,
which seemed to have kept an un-
wearied eye upon President Faure’s
movements in St. Petersburg, was in-
terrogated upon the. point, and was
able to return a satisfactory answer.
It discloses a reproduction of the scene
of the President’s arrival at St. Peters-
burg, showing him walking slowly in
front of the ranks of his guardof
honor, taking off his hat with a iarge
and sweeping gesture of the most cor-
rect style. Prince Bismarck had been
deceived; the protocol was safe; Pres-
ident Faure breathed easily again.—

AND IT WAS KILLED IN A WRECK.
A Woman’s Rage Over a Spotted Pup in a.
Train Disaster.
A railroad wreck is a horrible thing,
but it is not always without amusing
incidents. A fearful wreck occurred
near Montgomery some time ago and
on'the fated train. was a young phy-
sician who often visits Nashville.
“The cars were piled up in con-
fusion,” he said, “and the wounded
peeple were crying out with horror
and pain. We picked 'up the engineer
and carried him to a convenient spot
away from the wreck. His face and
neck were scalded and the flesh was
dropping off in large pieces. 'The
fireman was knocked senseless. We
then went toward the rear of the train
to look after the passengers. Stand-
ing near the sleeper were two ladies.
A good-looking woman of perhaps 30
was up'braiding the other woman. She
had a bundle hugged up fondly in her
7 arms.
“" ‘You have killed it,’ she screamed,
‘you have killed it; you wretch.
Shame on you, you heartless creature!’
“ ‘Let me see it, madam, I’m a phy-
sician, perhaps it is not too late.’
“She clasped the bundle to her
breast and continued to rage at the
woman standing near her.
“ ‘Perhaps I can do some good; let
me see it.’
“What do you think she did? She
unrolled the bundle and handed me 3.
spotted pup! She had five in a basket
on the train and one of them had
rolled out on the floor and the other
woman had stepped on it and crushed
it to death.”—Nashville American.
PRINCE OF WALES’ DINNER TABLE. I
Simplicity and Good Taste Displayed in
All Its Appointments. ,
Good taste reigns over all the ar-
rangements. Thus, the tablecloths are
severely plain, though of the finest
quality, and simply worked with the
royal“arms——the rose, the thistle and
the shamrock—while the table napkins
are invariably folded into a small
square to hold the bread, and never in
the fancy shapes in vogue elsewhere.
To each guest two forks, and no mere,
are provided, and these are placed
prongs downward. In addition there
are one large tablespoon and one large
knife, for in no circumstances are two
knives together given to any guest. A
great many reasons have been as-
signed for this rule, but apparently no
one has summoned up the courage to
ask the royal host and hostess. It
has been asserted that his Royal High-
ness has the old—fashioned dislike to-
seeing knives inadvertently crossed.
Small water bottles are used, but the
princess holds to the Hanoverian habit
of never having finger bowls. At
Marlborough House dinner begins at
8.45, and is never allowed to last much
more than an hour. Occasionally dur-
ing dinner soft music is played. The
menu is always served a la Russe—
that is to say, nothing is carved in the
dining-room.
“'lre Mats by the Fool: or Yard.
Among the curious things to be seen
in the hardware stores nowadays are
woven wire door mats for sale by the
yard, foot, or inch. It is only a few
* years since the manufacture of the
woven wire mat was begun, but these
mats have proved so effective as dirt
catchers and so light and easily
cleaned that their use has spread very
rapidly. During the earlier years of
their manufacture each mat was wov-
en and finished separately. Now some
of the manufacturers are weaving
them in lengths of fifty feet, and in
such a way that they will not gavel
when they are cut. The mats are
woven in different widths and done up
in rolls like carpet—New York Sun.

SMOCK MAR RIAGES.
Instances in Maine of a Custom That Pre-
, vailed in England a. Century Ago.
A Bangor lawyer attending court in
the ancient town of VViscasset went
rummaging recently in the colonial
court records of the place, and in the
course of his reading ran across the
official registration of a "smock mar-
riage.” Not knowing what sort of
marriage that was he looked further,
and got considerable light upon a cus-
tom that prevailed in England a cen-
tury or two ago, and also to some cx-.
tent in the American colonies.
Smock. marriages were weddings
where the bride appeared dressed in
a white sheet or chemise. The reason
of such a garb was the belief that if a
man married a woman who was in
debt he would be held lible for her in-
debtedness if he received her with any
of her property; and, also, that if a
woman married a man who was in
debt his creditors could not take her
property to satisfy their claims if he
received nothing from her. In Eng
land says an antiquarian, there was
at least 'one case where the bride was
clothed puris naturalibus while the
ceremony was being performed‘in the
great church at Birmingham. The
minister at first refused to perform the
ceremony, butfinding nothing in the
rubric that would excuse him he mar-
ried the pair.
To carry out the law fully, as the
people understood it, the ceremony
should always have been performed
as it was in the Birmingham church.
But modesty forbidding, various ex-
pediments were used to accomplish the
desired purpose and yet aviod the un-
desirable features. Sometimes the
bride stood in a. closet and put her
hand through a hole in the door; some-
times she stood behind a cloth screen
and put her hand out at one side;
again, she',wound about her a white
sheet furnished for the purpose by
the bridegroom, and sometimes she
stood in her chemise, or smock. Event-
ually, in Essex county at least, all im-
modesty was avoided by the bride-
groom’s furnishing to the bride ‘all the
clothes she wore, retaining title to the
same in himself. This he did in the
presence of witnesses, that he might
prove the fact in case he was sued for
any debts she might have contracted.
It is thought that during the reign
of George III. there were many smock
marriages in Maine, then a part of
the province of Massachusetts Bay—
chiefly in the Lincoln and York count~
ies, or in the territory which is now
so known. . here‘is nothing to show
that the practice outlived the Revolu-
tion. In Maine, up to 1852. a husband
was liable for debts of his wife con-
tracted before marriage, and no sub—
terfugc as the smock marriage could
relieve hinr—New York Sun.
ALL OUR CHALK FROM ENGLAND.
Used Very Largely in the llIaquacture of
Rubber Goods.
One of the few exclusively important
imported British products used in our
country is chalk. It comes from the
banks of the River Thames, being ob-
tainable nowhere else in large quanti~
ties. In its crude form, remarkable
flint fossils are sometimes found, usu-
ally the remains of fish. The process
of manufacture from the natural state
to that of a form when it can be util-
ized is simple. When received at the
mill the chalk is put into great ma-
chines and ground in water, then float-
ed off into vats of water, where all the
impurities and foreign substances are
precipitated, the water being after-
ward drawn off by a series of filtering
operations, and the soft residum dried
by steam heat and exposure to the air;
the substance is then reduced to a
powder of different degrees of fine-
ness by grinding in burr mills and
belting, when it is ready to be packed
in barrels and shipped for use, among
the largest consumers being the rubber
goods manufacturers; rubber, in its
crude state, being sticky, unmanage-
able and available only for very sim-
ple-purposes, becomes vulcanized and
hardened by adding to it chalk while
it is hot. thus rendering it suitable for
the various uses to which it is put.
As is also well known, a large quan-
tity of chalk is employed in the prep-
aration of paint and putty, being
termed whiting when in this form.
BEECHER’S QUICK REPARTEE.
The Baptist Preacher Didn’t Succeed in
Downing Him.
When Henry Ward Beecher was in
Indianapolis, there was a store where
the different ministers used to drop in
to hear the news and to try each oth-
er’s metal with ‘a. joke. No matter
how sharp the hit was, it was always
given and taken in a friendly spirit.
On one occasion, Mr. Beecher, while
riding to‘ one of the stations of his
mission, was thrown over his horse’s
head in crossing a river, and was
thoroughly soaked. The incident, of
course, furnished talk for the habitues
of the store; and, when he made his
appearance the next day, he was
greeted by 'his good friend, the Bap-
tist minister,—“0h, ho, Beecher; glad
to see you. I thought you’d have to
come into our ways at last. You've
been immersed, I hear; you are as
good as any of us now.” A general
laugh followed this sally. “Poh,
poh!” was the ready response, “my
immersion was a. different thing from
that of your converts; you see, I was
immersed 'by‘ a horse, not by an ass.”
A chorus proclaimed that Beecher had
got the best ofthe joke after all.
The Methodist preacher once said to
him: “Well, now, Brother Beecher,
what have you against Methodist doc-
trines?” ,
“Nothing, only that your converts
will practice them."
“Practice them?"
“Yes; you preach falling from grace,
and your converts are. alwaysdoing it
with a vengeance.:’;$uceess. .

JAPAN’S AMBASSADOR.
A Highly Cultlvated Man—HHi-a Life Road's
Like a Radiance. _ _
.‘Io better evidence of the develop-
ment of Japan into a great civilized
power can be found than by contrast-
ing its Legation at “'ashington with
that of China and Korea. The great
mandarins of the Flowery Kingdom
are the same in manners, customs.

‘as were those described by the Eng-
lish, Portugese and Dutch navigators
in the seventeenth century. The Ko~
rean representatives go about with the
curious two-storied hats and the other
quaint articles of wear which they
employ in their own land, and their
best representatives at Washington
are exactly like the one thousand and
one petty nobles who make up the aris-
tocracy of the Hermit Kingdom.
Forty years ago Japan sent out no
legation, and its people were on a par
with those of its two neighbors, but to-
day the land is as civilized as our own.
and the Legation at \Vashington is so
like that of the European powers that
in many respects they may all be re-
garded as casts from the same mold,
In some respects the Ministers from
Dai, Nippon set an example to those
from other lands. Nearly all are col-
lege men. trained soldiers and jurists
and linguists of no mean ability. The
preceding Ambassadors, M. Kurino
and M. Tateno and the present one. M.
Toru Hoshi, are all ‘men of extraordi¥
nary ability. The last named is a
character whose history is almost a
romance. He belongs to what may be
termed the reform liberal party, and_
is almost a democrat in his ideas and
views. .
He was a leader of the popular up-
rising in his early youth, when the poo
ple, growing out of their former cus-
toms, demanded greater liberty and
privileges for themselves and the cur:
tailment of the powers of the ruling
classes. In those years he was mobbed,
assaulted, arrested, convicted, im.
prisoned, and once banished from the
capital, yet during that period he
found time to prosecute studies of all
sorts, and became, through study and
practice, one of the best parliamenta-
rians and jurists in Japan.
He also acquired distinction as a pol-
itician, orator, statcman and execu-
tive. In the eighties he went around
the world on a tour of study, in which
he paid particular attention to the po‘
litical and social institutions of Italy,
Austria, France, Germany, Russia and
England. He reads and writes Eng-
lish with rare fluency and speaks it
admirably.
He has a fair knowledge of French
and Latin and a great familiarity
with Korean, official Chinese and Can-
tonese. He is also one of the native
scholars that have. studied the Aino
Loo Choc and other ancient dialects
and tongues of his country.—— New

THE ONLY RELIC LEFT.
[he Importmmte Englishman Backed
Down “'hell Offered It.
Robert Burns’s wife, after his death,
continued to live at Dumfries, and it
was customary for strangers to visit
the place. A young Englishman one
day called upon the widow and, after
he had seen all that she had to show,
thepoct's bedroom, his original por-
trait of Nasmyth, and his family Bi-
ble, he entreatcd lle-l‘ to present him
with some relic which he might carry
away with him.
“Indeed, sir,” said Mrs. Burns, “I
have given away so many relics that I
have not one left.”
“Oh, you surely must have some-
thing,” said the pcrsevering Saxon.
“Anything will do—anything you
please.”
Some further altercation took place,
the lady reasscrting that she had no
relic to give, and he as repeatedly re-
newing his request. At length, fairly
tired out with the man’s importunities,
Mrs. Burns said to him with a smile:
“Dear sir, unless you take me, then, I
dinna see how you are to get what you
want.”
Her suggestion had the desired effect
and the petition was at once with-
drawn.

Franco’s Ultimatum to China
0:.ases Alarm in England.
THE swrrrme DEMANDS
May be Considered 9.8.2» Cusne Itelli if
Officials Have Not Been “'arned of the
Demands—England \Vill Not l’erinit
China to Obey the Mandate.
London, March 21.—The tar Eastern
crisis still overshadows the Spanish-
American situation in European esti-
‘mation, and the latest. steps towards
the dismemberment of China has caus—
ed fresh dismay in England. The
sweeping demands made by France ap-
parently constitute a more serious at-
tack upon British interests and plans
than does Russia’s virtual annexation
of Mauchuria. There is, however, one
important difference in the effect of
these two developments.
Russia’s move demoralized the finan-
cial world, but the news of the French
ultimatum has had no important effect
upon stocks, which leads to the infer-
ence that the French policy is not so
bellicose as it appears.
The English press takes the gloomiest
View of the latest development, but the
situation is so obscure in many respects
that this fact is not of the greatest sig-
nificance. It is perfectly true, how-
ever, that if France has taken this step
on the heels of the Russian demand,
without any assurance or understand-
lng with Great Britain, it would consti-
tute almost a. casus belli.
The British Government, however,
puts no such interpretation upon the
French action. Presumably this coun-
try will not allow China to concede the
full French demand for territory, for
they hit British interests right in the
face. It is pretty certain that China.
will not be permitted to turn the Prov-
lnce of Yunan over to the French, for
England wants that for herself.
The outcome will probably be a. long
diplomatic struggle, which may in the
end result in an amicable division of
the spoils.
France Will Not Use Force.
Paris, March 21.-vA semi-official
statement has been issued saying that
there is no connection between the de-
mands of the French Government in
China. and the Chinese’ loan. The
French demands reached Pekin at‘the
beginning of the month, andathe nego-
tiations Were immediately transferred
to Paris, where they are proceeding
between the Chinese Minister, Thing
Thang, and M. Hanotaux, the French
Foreign Minister. The French charge
that there is ‘no occasion to threaten
or menace China. with the forcible seiz-
ure of a coaling station.
BRITAIN’S HANDS ARE FULL.
Feels We Are Able to Cope with Span-
iards and Their Paper Navy.
London, March 21.—The Daily Mail
this morning, in an editorial refuting
‘some of the American accusations of
British coldness,” says:
“Among many reasons for Great Brit—
ain’s comparative non-interest not the
least is our better knowledge of the
Spaniards and their paper navy and
our conviction that the Anglo—Saxon
will always defeat the Latin. Indeed,
the trend of Britishthought is toward
surprise that the greatest of the repub-
lics should excite itself unduly about
so poor a fee. ,
“The Americans should remember
that, while we are full of trust in
their capability to deal with Spanish
impertinence, we are fully occupied
with far greater troubles, threatened or
active, in various parts of the world.
they have our full sympathy at a time
when France, Germany and Russia are
backing Spain as fully and almost as
openly as they are opposing British
afferts for the freedom of foreign trade
throughout the world.
“But there is no occasion now to talk
of an offensive and defensive alliance.
l‘he disproportion between our mission
and America’s makes one impossible.
There will be time to propose this way
of recementing the race when Amer.-
lca is ready to face the splendid re-
sponsibilities it entails."
