Honest Mistake.
The story is told of a little New Eng
land girl the workings of whose Pur
itan conscience involved her in difficul
ties on one occasion.
She was studying mental arith
metic at school , and took no pleasure
in it. One day she told her mother
with much depression of spirit that she
had "failed again in mental arithme
tic , " and on being asked what problem
had proved her undoing she sorrowful
ly mentioned the request for the addi
tion of "nine and four. "
"And didn't you know the answer ,
dear ? " asked her mother.
"Yes'm , " said the little maid , "but
you know we are to write the answers
on our slates , and before I thought I
made four marks and counted up. 'ten ,
'leven , twelve , thirteen ; ' and then of
course I knew that wasn't mental , so
I wrote twelve for the answer , to be
fair. "

Ashbel P. Fitch , ex-controller of New

"When I was controller of New York
I thoroughly investigated the subject
of baldness , and reached the conclu
Is
sion that it is an index of intellect. In
the last year of my incumbency as con
troller my curiosity impelled me to in
quire as to the hair of the paupers
that had been sent to the county poor-
house.

had come under the charge of the

THE PRETTY SPANIARD.
Sense of Self-Possession the H lie
Among the Women.
Far from being the gayly dt-cssec
beauty , who raises her skirts anr os
tentatiously flirts behind her "fan the
typical daughter of Spain is grave
iiuiet , unfailingly dignified , simple am
home-loving , singularly affectionate ii
tier domestic relationships. Passionate
she can doubtless be , but passion to a
Spanish woman is a matter of life anr
death , far too serious a matter to be
played with , and flirting is unknown to
her. That is the secret of that simple
direct bearing and speech of the Span
isli woman , so free from the embarrass
ing consciousness of sex , which renders
a Spanish woman so charming , with a
charm in this and in many other re
spects so unlike 'that of the French
woman ; and the poorest of Spanish
women , however gracious she may be ,
has no difficulty in conveying an assur
ance of the fact that she belongs to her
self , says a writer in the Nineteenth
Century. The saying of Pope that
"most.women have no character at all"
wo".Id at all events not have suggested
' .rielf in Spain , where the sense of al
ruost self-sufficing self-possession seems ,
to be the rule among the women of the
ordinary population , who often retain
both vitality and charm of manner into
old age. There 1 $ no class of the pop
ulation of whom this Is not true , per
haps least of all that class ( on the verge
of gipsydom ) which still keeps up ihe
dances of old Spain for the joy of an
ever smaller circle. Abroad , the dances
of Spain are transferred by the original
skill of an Otero or a Carmencita ( Guer
rero being the splendid exception ) ; at
home they are attenuated in polite so
ciety , rendered commonplace in cafes-
chantants , suppressed in their favorite
haunts by the unregarding Spaniard.
In Seville nearly every home of real
native dancing is now closed ; in Mal
aga you may think you know every-
thing , and yet never see or hear of the
Chinitas , with its malodorous approach ,
with the strange old world picture
it presents within , such as one sees in
seventeenth century Dutch paintings.
Here one may sometimes witness the
best performances in Spain.
POPE LEO'S OLD NURSE.
Woman Now Over One Hundred Years
Calls at the Vatican.
The Pope recently gave an audience
to Anna Moroni , a woman over 100
years old , who , as a young girl , acted
as his nurse. She was conducted over
the "royal staircase , " otherwise re
served for sovereigns , and sat opposite
the Pope in a big armchair , also an
extraordinary favor , much against Vat
ican etiquette. The holy father smiled
benignantly on "Signora Anna , " cau
tioning her to rest well before she
spoke. After a while the old woman
commenced to talk of old times and
old friends.
"Do you remember when good old
Auntie Protperi saved you from the
bad boys on the market place in Bel-
letri ? They would have whipped you
sure if auntie hadn't interfered , for
you were not a strong boy. "
The two old friends talked for over
an hour , Dr. Lapponi occasionally in
terpreting , for both Anna and Leo are
hard of hearing. As she hobbled away
the old woman excused herself for
having given the doctor so much trou
ble.
"That's all right , Annina , " said the
holy father ; "both of us heard so much
in our long life no wonder our ears
refuse to serve. "
Anna left the Vatican in a papal car-
riage , holding in her lap the golden
rosary Leo had given her aad a docu-
ment granting her an ample fife pen
sion , payable by the Vatican treasury.
VOTING BY TELEGRAPH.
Electric Device Once Planned for Ger
man Legislatures.
There is only one reference to me
chanical voting in the thirteen reports
on foreign parliaments which have re
cently been issued. This occurs In a
memorandum on the subject of di
visions in the reichstag and Prussian
landtag.
As long ago as18G9 a motion was
introduced in the Prussian lower housn
in favor of establishing a system called
the voting telegraph , an electric in
vention designed by the firm of Sie
mens & Halske. Each member was to
have at his place a handle to turn to
right or left as he wished to vote "yes" a
or "no , " and this handle could be
turned only by the member to whom
the seat belonged , each member being
provided with a special key. The time
for taking the votes of the lower house
would , according'to this scheme , have
occupied less than two minutes.
There were no practical objections
made to the machine , says the London
Chronicle , but it was rejected , partly
because no pressing need existed for
shortening the divisions and partly on
account of the advantages of an oral
process of voting.

TURKEY HELD RESPONSIBLE.
Constantinople , Sept. 2. The re
port circulated in the United States
by a news agency that the Turkish
government had addressed an abrupt
note to United States Minister
Fleischman , in which it absolutely
refused to further discuss the respon
sibility for the capture by brigands
of Miss Ellen M. Stone , the Ameri
can missionary and her companion in
September , 1901 as the outrage was
not committed on Turkish territory
is not true. As a matter of fact , the
question of the pope's responsibiltiy
is indispcnsible since the capture ,
payment of the ransome and libera
tion of the captives all occured in
Turkish territory.
The correspondence on the subject
of the measures taken or the discov
er ? and arrest of the brigands contin
ues , and the insufficiency cf the re

by the United States legation.

It was to the effect that near that °

liouse the four carriages containing
she president and his immediate par-
: -y were driven down South street ,
two carriages on either side. When
near the Country club and at the

noticed coming at a terrific rate or
speed. Mr. Craig signaled to the
motorman to stop but he apparently
paid no attention to the warning and

and a few scratches and Secretary

Country club near by , where their
wounds were dressed. In a short
time they proceeded to the Curry ,
hotel at Lenox , arriving at 11 o'clockf
The president ker t his usual com
posure , although he was solicitous of
the rest of those in the carriage. The
excitement was intense and rumors
flew thick and fast that the presi

an hour the president determined to
continue his journey to Stockbridge.
After a brief stop at Lenox he was
driven to the train.

was Dr. G. A. Lung of the navy ,
who accompanied the president for
just such emergencies as this and
who was promptly on hand to render

such attention , saying he was but
slightly hurt.
