Curzon, the vicerine of India, s a shining example of the fa 1 the'aiJaptabiUty of_tb§"Amer ran, says the Kansas City Star, g a position which brings her mal contact with royalty, she rself with as much dignity and )n as if she had been born to e. No daughter of the reigning ’ Great Britain could sustain i the place of Lady Curzon with nirable poise than she exhibits the great functions in which leld to figure. Lady Curzon be what would be called a new ven in America. She has not ter the generations of culture iny American women can point to. She was brought up in Chicago, a town that is conspicuously associated fwith the commercial idea. Her acqui sitions were not aided by the influence of hereditary culture. Her achieve ments are the fruit of a keen and active mind and an agreeable personality un der the spur and encouragement of lib eral advantages. Her accommodation to the requirements and the opportuni ties of large riches shows the difference between the British and the American systems. In England it requires cen turies to manfacture the sort of ladies ana gentlemen who are often developed in this country in a single generation. i SERVE MEALS PIPING HOT. Three I*it tNhurtf Women Fill n Lons> Felt Waul iiimI \ri» Mak ing It l*ay. One of the most unique business en terprises in this country was estab lished not long ago by three Pittsburg women. Something like a year ago they rented a house in one of the best residence sections of Oakland and began to prepare and deliver what they called a "ready to serve” din ner. A patent "buffet” was con structed which would retain heat for hours. In that ingenious contrivance these dinners were served. They were guaranteed to remain fresh, appetiz ing and hot for three hours. Success was theirs. Housewives soon took notice and in a short time those who had heretofore had much trouble in getting a cook ordered the meals from these women. The “ready to serve” dinners proved a quick and easy way out of the dilemma and the ever troublesome cook was done away ■with. The “ready to serve” dinner business is a new feature in nearly every city the United States. San Franeisco and fashionable Paris have soundly established cooking establishments on the same basis and it has become very popular. The three women realized a imirprisingly large sum, it is said. with much satisfaction. The edifice is to bo a fine one and everybody in Perth Amboy wants to see it complet ed as soon as possible. It is greatly to be desired that the work shall now progress without further disturbances. With the laying of the cornerstone of the new Hebrew synagogue next Snuday, "Perth Amboy will have seen three cornerstones for as many houses of worship laid within a month’s time. EDITORIAL COMMENT.

PHOTOGRAFIIY u/lHE DARK. - German Profe«jin,f Sujn l.lnht la Xot \efdct)./ln the Making / of Pictures. The light is not needed for the printing of photographs is a discov ery which has been made by Dr. Wil helm Oswald, professor of chemistry in the University of Leipsic. He pro duces the required changes in the sensitized paper by the use of silver on negatives treated with a solution of peroxide of hydrogen. The pres ence of the silver causes the elements of the solution to react against each other. In a very short time in those places where there is silver in the negative the solution will disappear; in the other spots remain. This invis ible picture is then transferred to gela tine paper and finally developed by iron sulphate in solution. Gallic acid is then applied and the result is a gen uine ink picture. Dr. Oswald declares that in this method the sensitized pa per will keep indefinitely and the sil ver can be used over any number of times. He says the process is far cheaper and quicker than any now in use, besides requiring no light. By it. any design or drawing can be quickly copied. A KENTUCKY BREAKFAST. Col. Williams Eiplnlni-il the Presence of a l)»H In the Bill off Fare. "Col. Williams, of the Second Ken tucky regiment, is universally beloved and respected In the middle southern states,” said A. M Taylor, amusement caterer to the Flagler hotels In Florida, reports the New York Sun. "I was on my way to New York recently, when I met the colonel at Cincinnati. “ ‘I tell you, salt,' said the colonel, ‘Kentucky is the finest state in the union, sah. There you will find the best cattle, the noblest and most beautiful women, and the finest eating, sah, In all this broad land.’ “ ‘Eating? Colonel,’ said I to draw the colonel out. 'Now, what do you hare for breakfast?' “ ‘Breakfast, sah,’ exclaimed the colonel. ‘Why. I last had a steak and a bottle of whisky and a dog, sah!’ •‘ ‘A dog?' said I 'Seems to me that a dog Is rather a queer dish for break fast’ “ ‘You misunderstand me, sah,’ re plied the colonel, with hauteur. ‘I pro cured the dog to eat the steak, sah.’ ” Prolxi I>1 > Hurt a Hurd Time.

AMERICAN ANCESTRAL HOMES Our Shrewder Millionaire* Propone to lliilld Them In Their Own Country. Now that the American millionaires have had time to look about them and have contracted the habit of visiting Europe, where they are received by yoyaity, it is not surprising that they should be taken with a desire for an cestral homes, says the Philadelphia Record. In the first impulse several of them have bought up the ancestral homes of impoverished English aris tocrats and attempted to enjoy the emo tions which are commonly ascribed to the man who inherits baronial halls, oil portraits, tombs and vast game pre serves. It has been noted, however, that after a very brief experience most of them have turned up again in the neighborhood of Wall street, where their most exciting and happiest days have been spent. The fact is that life in the foreign ancestral home is too like a pioneer existence to please the Amer ican millionaire for long. To equip the place with electric lights or even with gas; to install a hard coal furnace and hot air pipes, and all such modern im provements as hot and cold water, dumb waiters, electric bells, swift-footed young servants, telephones, soft car pets and whatever makes living com fortable—the things for which the mil lionaire labored in his most active days —would he ridiculous. No man can ex perience or pretend to experience the state of mind of a born aristocrat in his ancestral home without submitting to ancient conditions.

"I know this from an expi rience I once had in Constantinople. After my signature on the hotel register i added, for reasons of my own, ‘queen’s courier.’ “The next day I was surprised to re ceive a card bearing the name of a well known wealthy American. I couldn’t re member the gentleman, but, thirl ing that I’d probably met him on a steamer or on a train somewhere, I told the serv ant to show him up. “A few minutes later a short, fat man Who conveyed the general effect of too much diamond stud and watch chain was ushered in. "I rose to meet him. “ ‘How are you?’ he started off in a business-like voice. ‘You’re the queen’s courier, ain’t you? Well, now, I’ll tell you. I’m here with my family—been rin’ Turkey, y’ know—and our cour s left us.

Curious Incident of Lovk Accepted Falsity of 1*^.1 Iftree and NnindU A Bit of Turf Record. Hambletonian was a bull«Jike horse that was trained by Hiram Woodruff, but could never develop a speed equal to a mile in three minutes—3:18, to be exact, says John Gilmer Speed, in Cen tury, being the best mile he ever did. As to his pedigree. Mambrino, the grand sire, was by Messenger; but he was worthless, and also vicious. He could neither run nor trot. He was bred by Louis Morris, of Westchester county. New York, and sold to Maj. William Jones, of Cold Springs Harbor, Long Is land. As he was worthless and a se rious disappointment, Maj. Jones virtu ally gave him away, and he was used as a traveling stallion at a small fee. John o Onal.-or formal* n an r To. malca. Long Island, had two Conestoga, or Pennsylvania Dutch draft mares. Out of one of these mares by Mambrlno, was born Abdallah. This horse was so bad tempered that he could never be broken to harness, but was ridden under the saddle. He had no speed either as a run ner or trotter, not being able to do a mile In four minutes at any gait. He had a mule-like head and ears, a badly ewed neck, and a rat tall. But he was a Messenger, despite the Conastoga crossing, and he was sold to Kentuck ians for $4,500. In less than six months the Kentuckians repented of their bar gain, and sold him back to New Yorkers for $500—Messrs. Simmons and Smith, Bull’s Head dealers, buying him as a speculation. This was in 1849. No purchaser could t-he speculators find at any price, and the stallion was virtually given away to stop expenses of keep ing him. About this time Charles Kent wanted a new horse for his butcher wag on, and traded, through Alexander Campbell, of Bull's Head, his worn-out mare to Edmund Seeley, a farmer in Orange county, N. Y., for a steer for butchering. This butcher's mare had originally been sold to him by Campbell, who had obtained her in a drove of western horses, paying $40 for her. Her pedigree was quite unknown. This mare is known in American horse history as the Charles Kent mare, and is said to be by imported Bellfound er. She was in foal to Abdullah when Seeley got. her. and the colt became the property of Bill Rysdyk, a hired man on Seeley’s farm. Rysdyk looked around for a name for his colt—a name which should indicate the Messenger blood in him. There had been in the early years of the country a famous son of Messen ger named Alexander Hamilton. This horse finally became known as Bishop’s Hamiltonian. In his effort to borrow the name Rysdyk, being weak in or thography, called his horse Rysdyk’s Hambletonian. And so he lives in his tory—false in his pedigree as in his name. DIFFICULT POINT IN ETHICS. Tlie Wornim XV ho Pnililleil Sturt* a UlMciiMNion Coneernlnir (lie Pro prieties of the Hencli. Fifty or more women in bathing cos tume were lolling about on the beach near one of Coney Island's best bathing places one afternoon lately. They were not, says the New York Sun, of the wayfaring kind that go down from the city with lunch boxes, hire a bathing dress, take their plunge and then hurry home to supper, but were mainly guests at hotels, cottages from Bensonhurst, tasteful wearers of their own garments. A smaller number of men lounged on the sand with these women, and wait ed for the tide to rise to good swim ming depth. For those who had eyes to see there was hosiery aplenty—blue and red and black, open work and shut, lisle and cotton and silk. If there was a knee in the crowd that was concealed by the skirt of a bathing suit it es caped attention. Then a young woman strolled up and sat down to play with a little girl. She, too, belonged to the fashionable throng. Her pale blue dress was well cut and fitted, her auburn hair was prettily coiled and cared for, and when, to please the child she prepared to go in paddling, It was a pair of silk stockings that she laid carefully over her patent leather ties and placed in a snug corner under the bathing pavilion. The pretty blue skirt, held in both hands, rose six, then seven or eight, then, perhaps ten inches, but no more as the edge of the waves ran gently forward and backward about her feet and ankles and she, apparently all un conscious of the sensation she was creat ing, laughed and sported with the young ster. But as soon as she was seen by the reclining men and women on the sand a ripple of “oh’s” and “my’s” and “Did you ever?” and “For heaven’s sake!’1 ran up and down the adjacent beach. Some of the women blushed and tried not to seem to see, the frivolous gig gled, the rest expressed their opinions au dibly. It wasn’t long before the girl in blue looking around, found herself the ob ject of so much unpleasant staring anc remark that she beat a retreat. As she passed a group of four worn en and two men, all clothed for the wa ter, whose conversation was obviouslj meant to convey to her ears their disap proval of her conduct, she paused anc said: "Ladies, I’m sorry to have shockec you. But if what I have done was im modest, tell me why what you are doinf is modest?” And she pointed to four sets of stock inged legs stretched upon the sand Common I’ph and Donna of V.lfa*.
