VANITY OF GUINEA FOWLS.
Stand for Houra Admiring Therv
selves In Mirror.
A pair of guinea fowls were intro
duced as pets into the garden of a
young man up town the other week,
aays the Philadelphia Record. The
wings of the birds were clipped, to
that they might not fly away, ard
they were quartered In r.n outhouse
that happened to contain a miiror.
Tlieeffect of the mirror outc.e guineas
seems hardly credible. They post
themselves before It, and ther
atndylng their reflections Inteutlv,
they stand perfectly motionless and
allent for hours at a time. It Is lm
possible, to drive them away with
hcuts or hand-clappings. They must
be carried forth bodily, and then, as
Bonn as they can, they return. No
matter how fine the weather mny be,
the guineas remain In the outhouse,
gazing at themselves In the mirror.
To get then to take exercise it I
necessary to carry them forth, and
then to shut up the outhouse tight.
The owner of the fowls thii.ks Unit
perhaps the mirror hypnoii.es them.
COLORED SHOES ARE POPULAR.
Society Does Not Take to Them, but
Army Men Like Varied Hues.
If colored shoes are not generally
worn they are popular in the urmy, us
evidenced by locent contracts given
out for the manurncturlng of shoes for
the members of the United States
army, says the Shoe and Leather Re
porter. One contract was for Ol.oi'O
pairs of shoes, all colored, there being
not a single pair of blacks In the order.
In another order was Included SSI
pairs of colored shoes. This gives
the Impression that for army wear col
ored shoes are preferred. They look
better for a longl-r period of time with
reasonable care than black goods. In
the opinion of the army officials. For
hot weather colored shoes are viewed
by sensible people as a most common
sense proposition.
What th World Owe Every Man.
The world owes to every man a liv
ing, says Chauncey M. Depew, provid
ed he has the industry and determina
tion to collect It. The world owes to
every man more pleasure than pain;
more good than bad; more gain than
loss; more happiness than sorrow;
more success than failure; more love
than hate; more friend than enemies;
but It rests with the man himself
whether he collects that debt, for the
world holds fast to the good things
which it possesses and lets free the
bad; and It Is only by labor and en
ergy, only by determination and char
acter that the debt which the world
owes to every one Is collected.

Majesty, the King of Engluud. While he did not wear his royal robes, as I
did, and was therefore somewhat at a disadvantage, still he looked every
inch a king. He la the real thing. He treated me as one king should an

that ran be paid t a theatrical company In England. The gentries at the
Palace presented arms when we arrived and wo wero received In the
grand ball by a hundred magnificent servants In scarlet and gold liveries,
with knee breches and white silk stockings.
Some of my American frleudH mistook these servants for the royal fam
ily and thought the ladles and gentlemen In plain clothes were the serv
ants, but they soon came to understand Court society a little better.
The servants conducted us to the beautiful gardens where we gave our
show. We were treated royally. That Is the only word for It. We had
champagne from the Itoyal cellar and strawberries Hlli cream from I lie
royal gardens. The Queen was perfectly lovely. The King was as Jolly
