Despite her strenuous activi ties as actress and writer, she Is stll vigorous, and recently changed hei residence from quiet Oberammergau U Munich." _ Judge Rentoul, of the famous Old Bailey court. In London, favors somt kind of brand for deported aliens so they can be easily detected when they try 4° sneak back Into England "Aliens are flooding the country anc doing more damage than anything 1 know of,” saS-s the Judge. “I have often thought it would be a good thing 11 we could put some mark on persons who have been deported, eo that II ever they put foot In this country agair they woUld be known. I would no< suggest a mark on the forehead, like Cain had. but some mark about which there would be no doubt.” • Dentists use In Ailing teeth pure gold But In bridgework and gold teeth they use coin cold, which is a little less tha» 12 karat; straight 22 karat Is still bet ter.

Blackening of cuffs and shirt front! by the rubbed off gold Is a matter of muchaftnnoyance to Jewelers when their pustomers come back, thinking they nave bought brass. The skin on the necli. as welf as on the fingers, Is fre auently discolored by 14 karat, 18 karat and; some say, pure gold. An expert •ays jjiat even In the case of pure gold thla coloration of the skin Is not due to aby-partlcular properties of the met al, but rather Is the result of chemical changes In the body, or rather In the perspiration and natural oil«f the skin. What Is presumably the largest sign in the state of Washington was re cently constructed on the east bank of the Columbia river Juat above the town >of Beverly. It advertises the lo cation of new orchards, the new Irri gation district being opened to settle ment.

Lincoln. Neb., May 8.—Lincoln deal ers In mortgage securities are begin ning to fee) the effect of the new law covering the taxation of mortgages and of mortgaged lands. The purpose of the law Is to obviate double taxation of this class of securities, and it is said that the act has caused an im mediate reduction of Interest rates. Under the old way the mortgaged land was taxable for its full value as realty, the tax being assessed agaln&t the owner. The mortgage was also taxable for Its full value at the resi dence of the holder. In cases where the mortgage was held In Nebraska It meant that the same real value was taxed twice. The new law provides that the mortgage shall be taxed to the holder for Its full value. The land, however, is to be taxed for Its excess values above the fact value of the mortgage. In thlB way the real value Is reached only once. Under the terms of the law, the owner of the land may agree to pay the entire tax by so stipulating in the mortgage contract. Real estate dealers and security brokers expect that this permission will be generally accepted by parties to the mortgages, so that the mort gagor will assume the entire tax. In return for this privilege, the mort gagee, theoretically at least, should loan his money for a lower rate than under the oldlaw, when he was sub ject to MORE APPLICANTS THAN SCALE WILL WARRANT Lincoln, Neb., May 8.—It Is expect ed that there will b,e 60 or 60 appli cants for saloon licenses within the next few days.

From the Strand Magazine.

He was the best walker, run ner, Jumper, cricketer, oarsman, foot baller, golfer, horse-rider, billiard-play er. pugilist, and wrestler In the world;, and although the blue ribbon has been wrested from him in many of these things, the success of his rivals has been chiefly individual, and the vast aim of national excellence has prob ably not been impaired.
