With the concise- Mas of a press bureau, he has been known to state: The Battle of Waterloo was In 1006. Nelson said every man should «xpect to do his duty. Nelson won in one round." Another boy seems to have got mixed between geography and history. According to him, "the feudal system lies between the Humber and the Thames." It was the same "young hopeful" who stated that his favorite character in history was Henry the Eighth, because he had eight wives, and killed them all* and the last survived him." An original genius told the examiner, in writing, that "Wat Tyler lead the pheasants' revolt because be was himself a pheasant, and that its cause was that a shilling poultice had been pot on everybody over sixteen!" It will be news to most people that the circulation of the blood "was discovered by Martin Harvey," and also that the three estates of the realm "are Buckingham palace, Windsor caa- Ue, and Balmoral."--London Answer* •rU. &k\y, % iv JiPK' krM'V" -V.

TAKE HOUSES WITH THEM Natives of Barbados Load Structure Upon Cart and Carry It to Maw Location. Moving In Barbados Is so simple a task as to rouse the envy of the ordinary American householder. When a negro in that happy island moves, says Sir Frederick Treves, In the Cradle of the Deep, it is not uncommon to meet not only the "furniture but the whole bouse on the highway. The structure Is placed on a car flat, like a puzzle taken to pieces. The four walls are laid one above another as If they were pieces of scenery fjom a theater. The roof Is indistinguishable as such, for the tiles are put into the bottom of the -cart. The owner carries the front dpor on his head and kind friends assist with the window shutters and with the chicken house. There is no plumbing, fortunately, and the eve that follows a moving morn sees the entire establishment newly set up and settled, swept atod gar* nished.--Youth's Companion. A Disappointed Lot.* A Wealthy man visited a school and gave an address. When ne was through he called a little boy up to him and said: "My lad, have you a purse?" "No, sir." "I'm sorry," said the rich man. "If you had I'd have given yon half a dollar to put into it." The same man was scheduled to speak there again the following month, and when he rame the boys were prepared for him; an empty purse lay hidden In every pair of trousers. And sure enough at the end of bis speech he called anothef bdy> to him. "Have, yog a parsa, little man?" be asked. ' - 1 "Yes, sir." *Tm glad of that," said the speaker.

Itaptatat colors and novelty materials are a ftatnra of the new clothes, writes a Paris fashion correspondent in the Mew York Tribune. Prominent among the emphatic notes are the Hindo-Chlnese effects. One needs only to study the records of the moguls to realise how closely allied are the present-day fashions to their mode of dress. In the Bibliotheque National© at Paris Is to be found a wonderful collection of hand Illuminated and hand-illustrated books, done by Italian artists, which set forth particularly the costume history of the great moguls. The house of Agnes shows to replica many points of the picturesque dress of these peopl «. * v Oaa recalls t$at joat prior to the great war Paris fashions went through a period of minaret styles and these Hlndo-Chinese effects are from the same source.

Thus It is the masculine Mogul style that Paris is exploiting for autumn--the coat of the Grand Mogul himself, and not those of the women of his ha fern. Any number of costumes bear this East Indian note.. At first sight it seems as if it were, a two-piece gaiw ment, that there was a narrow foundation and over this a flaring coat of three-quarters length. But the new feature Is really a dress with a coattop and not a two-piece costume. In a clever manner the flaring tunic and the narrow skirt are attached and one Is a complementary part of the other, though tliey may differ both in color and In material. Sumptuous fabrics are employed for these modes. Or if the fabric is plain It is a brilliant color and often marvaloosly embroidered and jeweled. ^Developed From White Velvet. One of the most interesting dresses of this sort Is a model called I'agode. It Is developed from white velvet richly embroidered from white velvet richly embroidered in gold and in black silk. At the edge of the threequarters length sleeves and the godet i tome ta * bud of black velvet, and bordering all la a deep band of dark brown fur. This model Is almost exactly like the coats worn by titled rulers during the period of the Grand Moguls. The body is straight and close-fitting, with a low waistline and three-quarters tunic flaring widely over a very narrow foundation. The sleeves are long and bell shaped and the neck Is collarlesa. There Is an opening down the front of the blouse characteristic of the Oriental garment which slips on over the head. Another beautiful Hindu model Is Korlgane. It Is developed In red velvet with gold embroidery In an elaborate all-over pattern with deep borders of fur. This silhouette Is exactly the same as that of Pagode. Separate coats are cut on these same flaring lines. Many of thera are made of the new woolen and metal Smyrna cloths which bid fair to be immensely popular this winter, replacing to no small extent the elaborately embroidered coatings of the last season. The 8myraak nre an important group. They are what Is known In the trade as the carpct weave, being woven with a looped surface either in an all-over effect or in a brocade or plaided pattern. One lovely design shows a sort of Japanese landscai>e effect in raised loop pattern on a background of contrasting color. Another Smyrna novelty In plaid pattern imitates in coloring and design the famous clan tartans of Scotland. A third type is a Smyrna brocade, the design of which suggests the foliage of the Jungle. Imitate Hand-Loom Shawls. Cashmere patterns, which imitate perfectly old-fashioned hand-loom shawls, are shown In a beautiful series of patterns. One of the best Is that called Qiambord. Another Interesting one Is Kadjany and a third Ramayaua. All three are In the Intricate design of Cashmere and Persia. One wonders how It is possible for a maclJne to weave with such exquisite and Infinite detail. Another cloth which promises to have great popularity Is MarcarUlo. This Is a sort of velours de lalne with a pattern in contrasting color which takes the form of stripes. And along with tlie craze for these fancy weaves one finds that the autumn silk jersey cloths are being elaborately embroidered all over in yuitones. A great many three-piece salts In which the jacket wrap is three-quarters and sevefeeighths length are shown. Many or the dresses are In straight chemise form with the coat in straight, close-fitting style or In the gored, flared effect The latter is distinctly newer. Some of the three-piece suits have long tunic bodies made of metal brocade or velvet. One wonders if this anticipates the very long overblouse as a possible sequence to tills new fashion. One of these long smocks or tunic blouses is developed from cyclamen velvet with self-tone embroideries. A black velvet dress which Is one of the most showy rhinestone embroidered models Is called Conquerante. The entire back of the corsage is made of a mesh of rhlnestones and through the Interstices of the Jeweled pattern the; .flesh Is revealed. Devinette is another beautiful evening dress trimmed with rhlnestones. It developed from black satin, while Magiclenne is a black velvet model, on the skirt of which appears a deep flaring flounce made entirely o£ chinestone embroidery. :> ££ Driver Finds Case of Vabh able Jewels Left in Cab Woman. NOW SAFE IN VAULT Chicago.--Search for a king's ranaom In Jewelry--diamonds and pearls insured for $100,000 with Lloyds--sent the police scurrying all over the city for the taxlcab In which Mrs. A. H. Lamm of the Edgewater Beach hotel had left them when she alighted at the La Salle Street station to board the Twentieth Century fof New York. Mrs. Lamm, whose husband owns a ten-story building at 846 West Jackson boulevard, where he is head of a tailoring firm, could offer little assistance. She knew the taxi belonged to a well-known cab company. But Barney Schofield, assistant to Charles Grey, president of the company, told the police that wouldn't help much. Some 3,000 taxis are operated here by the company. Goee Without Jewels. , Came train time, Mrs. Lamm bade a tearful adieu to an army of detectives, railroad police and officials of the New York Central lines. , "My htfsband's waiting for me and rve got to go," she said. **I never dlaappoint him."

About a year ago I thought it would be necessary for me to take my daughter out of school.

The skirt Is made of threeshaped flounces which, beginning on one side, have straight edge bands finishing in an overlapping end In deep cascading points. These odd-shaped flounces, of which there are three, are each bordered with a band of rhinestone embroidery and there is an Interesting rhinestone embroidered motif which trims the side of the skirt and finishes on the bodice In a sort of pocket design. Juno, another lovely creation, la In green, with broad buds of rhinestone embroidery encircling the close-fitting straight-line dress. One of Callot's newest models developed In a heavy red crepe la trimmed with red suede leather, il» leather forming the big cuffs, collar, skirt ban.', and border of the capepanel back. This present fancy for leather trimmings carries dressmakers to every possible extreme. Everything In leather goes--even trimmings tor ITall fabrics. A Calk* mo»el way refills this mode. The suede leather uacri Is al most as supple as the cref>e and it* adds a distinctly novel touch. Heading the borders of red leather, separating it slightly from the red crepe, are bands of black Tepe. The slight line of black Is seen at the border of the collar, cuffa and pocket facings of lesther. Rose Descat, the popular Rue Royale milliner, recently sent to one of her smartest customers six small hats made of suede kid, all exactly the same except for the color. There was one in pure white, ope in brilliant red, one In vivid en^rald green, one In soft beige, one In brown adM one all black.

And while this maker Is particularly skill* ful in his use of furs, other couturiers are showing costumes of extraordinary beauty featuring the pelt of fur-bearing animal*.
