Hard Up King Created Baronetcy. The title baronet was created, but not invented, by the "British Solo mon." It was to King Junius I, fre quently In tbo financial morasa of Mr. Mlcawber. that the earl of Salisbury ?uggented a scheme whereby 200 gen tlemen might be perauaded to pay ? 1,000 each for the honor of being styled baronets, or petty barons. To the king's objection that such a step might give offense to "the general body of the gentry." the eynleal Salis-i bury replied: "81re. you want the money, which will do you good, whltal the honor will do the gentry very little ( harm." This cogent argument con-i ?tnced the king, and the old chivalrous order of knighthood was superseded by the new order of peeudobarons. Arabian Horses in Ireland. Much discussion has occurred among zoologists as to the origin of distinctively oriental characteristics among the horeos of Ireland. Mdny have believed that the causo was the introduction, in historic ttmeB, of horses from the Spanish peninsula, possessing eastern characters. Not long ago, however, Scliarff examined th? remains of Irish horses from bogs, caves and crannogs, many of which he believes to have been wild horses, and he finds that these are quite as Arabian in their forms as any of the modern horses of Ireland, and even more so. His conclusion is that the oriental features of the modern stock are the result of inheritance from an original wild stock possessing thos4 characters. i OUR PUBLIC FORUM R. C. Duff On Cotton As Contraband. Hon. R C. Duff, one of the highest authorities on International law In the nation and one of the most capable citizens in the United States, when asked to Investigate the exporting of cotton and Interpret the lawa of nations on this nubject for the American plow man. said in part : "Article 26 of the Declaration of London reads as Follows: 'The following may not. he declared contra [>and of war. (1> raw cotton, wool, allk. etr." Great Rrltain Is not only n signatory of the Declaration of London, but in fact called the conference and Insisted JDOn the Inclusion Of r?w rntlnn nn i?-? lion-contraband. Under this declaration. which was subscribed to by all the maritime nations, wa have a right absolutely to ship cotton, not only to neutral porta of Europe, bat to Germany and Austria themselves. Humanit7 shudders at the thought of the death of the splendid Americana wlm/frent down on th? Lusltania, hut humanity would have more cause for shuddering If It could have presented to It In some almllarly striking and dramatic way the wop, Borrow and Buffering that will be occasioned to multiplied thou sands of men, women and children In the Southern states as a result of cotton being forced down to starvation prices. 'The reason why cotton doea not command 18 or 20 centa per pound In simply becauBe Great Britain has a naval strangle hold on our shipments and, therefore, on the world supply. Kngland sends her shipn of war out into the open neaa, captures American cotton, no matter to whom the same may bo destined, carries It into British ports, sets up prize courts of her own nomination, which prize courts, of courso, are operating In her favor and which, under auch circumstances, after whatever delay they elect to Im pose, assess the damages of the Amorlcan shipper at whatever prlco they see Bt and then, after having by such process bought' our cotton, she avail* lieraelf of tho extraordinary high prices existing on the continent of Europe, produced In part by her diversion of our shipments, to resell It at a profit, rhe American shipper has no recourse except to the government. Tho acts 5f Great Britain referred to, according to tho well-recognised principle of International law, constitute war agalnat the United States. "This grievance Is now of many months standing and the South Is about to bring to market another great crop of cotton. Under such circumstances >uo would expect that our govei*nment, without prompting, would know per fectly well how to deal with acta on the part of the British government, amounting to wnrfnre agalnnt otir trade and country. "It Is not necessary for u? to resort to war against Great Britain in re f.llatlon, A simple, adequate and obvious remedy would be for the president o advlso Oreat Britain that unless she reapO'rt- the law of nations as regards >ur foreign commerce, he wiJl call on congress to adopt a resolution forb'd ling tut. exportation of arms and munitions of war to (orelsn countries.

If her father's name la Bock, she Is called O'Wlng. The Chi nese do things which we Americana seem to he puzzled over. It Is because Lor father a^d mother are Chinese :tat her name Is O'Wlng. That slgnt ilea daughter of Wing, Wing being Mr. Ho; k's surname. Though she 1s thor oughly Americanized, some of the ori ental ways which she has not forsaken rdded ? charm to the fair Celestial Would Bo Bernhardt of Itaca. maiden who Is seeking a husband. Pi'K la, according to the manner of Chinese reckoning, eighteen years old, but only seventeen according to tha American method. Now eighteen in China la considered an old aga for an ur. married girl, and her father has en deavored in ev-ery possible way to aid Dan Cupid. Chinamen by the scores have come to tha Bock home and have been captivated by the charm cf the fair maid, but s?c would have none of them, because she has mads up her mind to have none but an Amer ican husband. Her charming features resemble those of a Spanish beauty and that la aaying somothlng, fo* when a Spanlah girl la a beauty she Is "Rome pippin." Peg O'WIng has other axplrations besides securing an Ameri can husband, for she aaplrea to be the 3nrah Bernhardt of her own race. It was against the wishes of heT father, *ho is a prominent merchant, that alio ntudled for tbe stage, for In China the parent, of a girl frowns on any at teinpt of his child disporting herself for the admiration of the crowd.

At Frolssy. In th? Department of the Olse, most of the public appointments are held by wo ' men, and will be until their present I holders die. There la a postmistress 1 Inatead of a postmaster; the telegraph department Is run by a woman; a sta* I tlon mistress directs the porters at the local station; a lady barber cuts I tho hair of the community; and the town crier also tacks "ess" on to the name of her calling. In most cases these posts were held by husbsnds or brothers/ and the villagers considered their female relatives were their legit imate successors. This Is also partly the case In the English town men tioned, although In aome cases daugh ters have succeeded mothors to the general satisfaction. yj. How to Tell ?

One ' X'-vT* r wys lie can tell when a wit nrnn |B lying by the movement 6f the lips. Another declares the hands form tho bent barometer and another de elnros tho twitching of the muscles of * ho cheeks Is a sure sign that the wit nrsn has been trapped In a He. Still another disolple of Blackstone says that facial expression always helps him, as well ss watching the foet, which sro usually % shifted uneasily when the He Is Apparent. Thon an other declares that by keeping con etant vigilance on the eyes of the wit ness he knows when he has his man "going" if taken as complete for mula, It wotfld mean that a perjurer to escape detection would have to school his face to be impoelve. keep bis hnnds In hla pockets, hook his feet In the rounds of the witness chair and shut his oyes. i - '* ? uff or umaM ?

" I Meter Reeding Made Kaey.

Arehlteeta have taken cognlzanoe of the Inconvenience that attends the placing of meters that can only be read from within doora and have solved the problem by pre vlding space for ths meters next to the outer walls and by the lstting In of small doors through whjah the in struments msy bs resd ftom the out? side.
