The Capital of Colombia.

suuaieu in the "heart of the Andes,"
something over 8,000 feet above the
sea level, and ranks as the third hiirh
esi uity on the western hemisphere, Po

There is a peculiar tradition as to the
event of its founding, in 1542. It is
related that three Spaniards set out

for the new vice royalty of New Gre

Later the "Santa Fe" was dronned
and it remains simply Bogota. Its pop

quainted with the language of flowers.
But it has remained for a recent
writer to indicate the language of
umbrellas: "To place your umbrella
in a rack indicates that it is about to
change owners; an umbrella carried
over a woman, the man getting noth
ing but the drippings of the rain,
signifies courtship; when the" man has.
(he umbrella nd: the woman the drip
pings, it indicates marriage ; to carry
it at an angle under the arm signifies
that an eye is to be lost by the man
who follows you ; to put a cotton um
brella by the side of a silk one means
'exchango is no robbery ;' to lend an
umbrella may be interpreted, 'I am a
fool;' to carry an umbrella just high
enough to tear out men's eyes and
knock off men's hats signifies, "I am a
Woman. " SL Louis Republic.

Miss Fanny Davenport went into
one of the large dry goods establish

her with some curiosity, remarked:
"I think one of the new 'Tosca'
parasols would suit vou, ma'am."
"Why ?" asked the" actress.
"Well, 1 hardly know, but I think
you look very much like Miss Fanny
Davenport, and I think a 'Tosca' para

The compliment so pleased Miss
Davenport that she made a purchase.
