A white man, wandering over one of the Fiji Islands, was taken prisoner by the natives. He had a cork leg. He didn't like the looks of his captors, and liked them still less when he noticed that they were fixing up a neighboring oven. Trying hard not to show his agitation, be caned for something to eat Food was set be fore him, and be used his large Jack knife to cut it With every mouthful or two he stuck his Jack-knife into his cork leg with such force that It stood erect The natives looked on with great astonishment and evident ajarm. After the meal was over he began to unscrew his leg. That was too much for the savages, who did not seem to have any curiosity to see what he would do next, but opened a passage and let him walk away. WBen he reached bis horse, some little distance away, the natives be gan to gather around, but after mount ing, the man made a motion as if to unscrew his head, and the spectators ran away in terror. 1 The Laugh on the Kaiser. Here is a good story they are tell ing in Europe about the German Em peror. The Kaiser, at a recent review in Berlin, reprimanded old Gen. Von Meerscheidt for losing his mind at a critical moment "If your Majesty thinks that I am getting too old, I beg of you to allow me to resign." "No, no," replied the Kaiser, "your are too young to resign. Indeed, if your blood didn't course through your veins quite so fast you would be a more useful army leader." On the evening of that day the Kaiser and the General met at a court ball. Tne General waa talking to some young ladies. "Ah. Meer schedit," cried William, "that Is right, get ready to marry. Take a young wife, then that exclteable temperament of yours will soon vanish." The General bowed low as he re torted: "I beg to be excused, your Majesty! A young Emperor and a young wife would be more than I could possibly stand!" The Ctueen'o Meals. Queen Victoria riaee early and goes to bed late.

Brown. American Cigar Company, Real Leers. French women are at the moment crazy over real laces, the collecting of which has became m veritable fad. Today women talk laces and display laces, and gloat over an in creasing store with a frankness which if displayed over the jewel box, would be considered in the worst of taste. But laces are like old china, and, in a country where every one has an cestors, a bargain at an auction gale seems to give one evea greatir dis tinction than an inherited collection. But, as one noted lace collector says, herself a daughter of a distinguished race and the wife of ,a "nouveau riche," " a good deal of it belouged to my various grandmothers, but I had the fun of bargaining for it" It is certainly an odd experience to find in some auction room or in the mouldy dusty quarters of a second-band saop a lace flounce or shawl that was worn by one's faraway grandmother. But at the moment this is the chic experi ence to have, and it is quite possible that the dealers are rathtr taking advantage of the desire of their c!i-ntB to possess historical pieces of lace, with personal histories included. Charged By Prejudice. Leo Lespes is one of the most prom inent of Parisian barbers, and, being the fashion, has a large clientele. A Dutchman recently visited his estab lishment, and approaching the coulter where Leo is enthroned he asked bow much there was to pay. The barber looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, then called his first "garcon," a Span aird like himself, and asked a few questions. "Five francs, meinherr," at last said Lespes. "Five francs! What a high price, M. Lespes. I was only shaved, you know; that's all." "Tiens, tiens!" murmured the coif feur. By your accent I should not quite take you for a German. What did you say, Mauri! that monsieur was a German? Nonsense! It is two francs, sir. Beg your pardon." The gentleman, who, like a true Dutchman, is not talkative, paid his money and left the shop. But in the evening he asked the friend who bad sent him to Leepes what this singular conduct could signify "Oh," answered the Parisian, of course I ought to have told you. Leo Lespes has various prices, according to the nationality of bis clients and his own fancy. For Instance, be always charges live francs to a German or an Englishman, for he hates them; three francs to Russians, and two francs to a Parisian and people In general when he cannot guess where they come from. He shaves an Italian for one franc ana a 8panlard,though he be a grandee of 11 ret class, for SO centimes, ana lately he said to me: "Monsieur, If I ever have the honor of seeing a Boar la my establishment I should not only shave him for nothing, but also present him with a cravat aad a tooth The wage schedule under which the firemen of the Erie railroad have worked for many years peat la being revised and eoticeeaions have been made to the men which will materially Increase their pay. illustrations for Virginia Cheroot "Wrappers OUR.

The $300,000,000 or more of bonds proposed will more than cover every dollar of cash invested In all the con cerns combined, and the billion dol lars or so of stock which Mr. Morgan desires to float becomes, by that showing, all water. Upon this ficti tious capitalization, which he is re ported as about to call into belm? with a stroke of his magic wand and which, curiously enough, about equals what remains of our national debt dividends can be paid only by levy ing perpetual tribute on all classes of the people. That can be done only by using the railroads which Mr. Morgan directly or indirectly controls to sup press competition. The public will not long stand that It seems, there fore, the experiment cannot succeed. It is more probable that Mr. Carnesio will soon have a chance under his mortgage to resume business at the old stand, or else there will be a tremendous popular agitation over the flret sign of coercion of the rail road properties to the purposes of the truKt. Though there may bo some sort of fancy among the inexperienced that Pierpont Morgan has rediscovered Aladdin's lamp, the inviting public is not to be deceived into a belief in the powers of the genii.
