MODERN PASSPOETS. N0T LIKE THE OLD PASSPORTS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. Tue Certificate? I"??* *r t'ncle Sam Are Simply Vpueheru of CltlMenshtp und Kvldeuce of the Holder's Right to Our Protection. . i-assports are not required In Eu rope," said tbe chief of the passport bureau of thc department of state. . That ls to say, a passport ls not need ed to secure admission to any of the countries except Russia and Turkey. Should the tourist Intend to remain at any particular pjaee on the continent for a Iou?? time,! should he intend to take up a temporary residence or en cage lu business,! for Instance, then he is called upon to establish bis Iden tity, and this con best be done by m, ans of a passport. The present pass port Is uot the old passport of Interna tional law. That was a safe conduct to a man, with permission to go through ? country, given by the ruler of that country. It tben became a paper given uv a sovereign to a person about to en ter upon a voyage requesting the sov ereigns of the countries to be visited to permit bim to enter. The language used In our passports now is to let tho person to whom It ls Issued 'pass free ly and to give him all lawful aid and protection.' "As a matter of fact, the American passport hos never been Issued to a foreigner to travel In this country, as a passport has never been required here except In brief periods and limited areas during wartimes. Tho passports which are being issued now are certifi cates of American citizenship and an evidence of the person who holds one to the right of American protection. The only real passports, in the old Interna tional law sense, that the department of state has ever issued were sent to Mr. Polo, the Spanish minister, and Lord Sackville, the British minister. They were addressed to officers bf the United States, giving safe conduct to the bearers, and were merely a formal ity, having no weight at all, because anybody is free to travel In the United States so long as be does not violate the law. Occasionally a foreign min ister about to go away on leave asks for and receives from the department one nf these safe conducts, but they are rare and have not numbered three in three years. "The ordinary passport Issued by other governments is similar to that which we give our citizens, both In wording and purpose. Some foreign countries before recognizing the valid ity of a passport require that a vise bo affixed, denoting that it has been ex amined and is authentic. The vise In some cases must be attached in the country where the passport ls issued by a diplomatic or consular officer of the government requiring it, some times simply by such officer anywhere and tben again at times at the fron tier of the country to /which admission is Bought. Should an American citizen, either native or naturalized, require a passport or identification while abroad he has the right to call upon the near est American diplomatic or consular officer for it. "It ls safe for an American citizen to visit any country of Europe, provid ed he hno not violated the laws in any of them. In those'nations where mili tary service is required of subjects a native emigrating to the United States and taking np citizenship here ia free to return, provided he bas not been summoned to perform the service at thc time he departed, but no natural ized citizen can return to his mother couniry with Impunity. t? he violated any of the laws, deserted from thc army, etc., he will probably be appre hended by the parent government upon his return, and the passport will not protect him, because a man cannot avoid punishment for the infringement of the laws of one country by becom ing a citizen of another. Russia, Tur key and, in a less degree, Italy and Switzerland adhere to the doctrine bf) perpetual allegiance. Switzerland and Italy do not commonly assert lt against subjects who Have become naturalized citizens of the United States. The ae partaient of state has thad .prolonged correspondence protesting against the attitude of Turkey and Russia, but has heen unable so far to secure the desir ed concessions. "Our laws, you know, do not extend beyond the jurisdiction of this govern ment and while ; we may by statute proclaim the right of expatriation we cannot enforce lt In either Russia or Turkey. The czar of Russia and the sultan of Turkey, when our citizens enter their domains, hare to be con sulted concerning thh ivlne right. Tho tendency of nil t ..ern interna tional Intercourse Is in favor of its recognition, but that will.do oneJittle good should he be arrested in Sussla or Turkey and thrown into JalL Thero he may, it la true, reflect upon his di vine right and also upon his actual in? carceratlon. As a matter of fact, nei ther Russia nor Turkey carries its power to an extreme. It frequently, happens that a naturalized citizen re turning to his hume In either country, is apprehended ?nd thrown i?to prison. Things are made uncomfortable for him for awhile? and he is subsequently released with ? warning. His experi ence ls a. sufficient lesson to warn oth ers never to return, and thus the pur pose of the czar and the sultan is ac complished."-Chicago Record. Wo Use.

Tl?e Ilccliilcnt Tell* Wliy lie Ia Not IlnnkeriuK After Any More. "No, sir," said a Now Orleans dentist the other day when the conversation hnppcued to turu on sports; "no, sir, I wouldn't play a racing tip uuder any circumstances. I wouldn't play it if I knew It was a copper bottomed, double rlvlted cinch and a 100 to 1 shot." "But why wouldn't you?" asked a listener, "llave you been thrown down so bad?" "I haven't been thrown down at all," replied the dentist. "On the contrary, the only two tips I ever had in my life were both perfectly straight, but-well, I'll tell you what happened to me. Personally, I don't care for racing and never go near the track, but during the winter season I did a good deal of work for horsemen and got well ac quainted with several. One day a Louisville man for whom I had put in a rather difficult filling told me in an offhand fashion to put $5 or $10 on a certain horse that was going to run next day. I thought lt over, decided I would and decided I wouldn't and finally didn't The horse came gallop ing in first, 12 to 1. I was so asham ed of myself that I hadn't the face to tell the Louisville man the truth, and when he asked me how much I had gathered In I said 'a hundred* and thanked him wc inly. Later on he got broke and came around to borrow $50. *I wouldn't esk you,' he said, 'but you know I put you next to winning that hundred.' What could I say? I hand ed him the money and have never seen lt aluce. That was tip No. 1. "The other tip was given me by a gambler here in town," continued the dentist. "I yanked out a molar that was setting him crazy, and in a burst of gratitude he swore me to secrecy and told me to be certain to back a horse-well, call him Snow King, which comes near to his name-that was to run that afternoon. I couldn't go out myself that day, but I determined I wouldn:i- get left twice, so I sent for a friend, raked up $20 and told him to go and make the bet for me. This friend of mine has a bad impediment in his speech, and lato that afternoon he rushed in with a face like a funeral. 'K-k-kill mel' he stuttered. 'K-k-k-klll me!' 'Why, what's wrong?' I asked, greatly startled. With much difficulty he managed to tell me that he had got the names mixed and had bet on Klug John instead of Snow King. Snow King was a winner, of course, nt 20 to 1, and King John was nowhere. My messenger was so heartbroken over his blunder that I didn't have the heart to reproach him, and when he pulled out $20, mostly In small silver, and tried to make me take it I refused. 'No, my boy,' I said; 'you can't afford to make that good. It's vexatious, cf course, but mistakes will happen; so keep your money and say no more about it.' That made we feel so fine and magnanimous that lt sort of reconciled me to my loss, and my friend was almost tearful in his thanks. "About a month afterward, as near as I remember, a bookmaker came lu to get a set of false teeth, and while we were walting for the cast to dry we got to talking about luck. He said it was strange how often green outsiders walk up and call, the right horse. 'Why, ' not long ago/ he said, 'all the talent was backing the favorite tn one of t!?o events where it looked like a moral cer tainty that nothing elso could win. Just before the race was called up comes a gawky young fellow to roy box and puts down $20 on an old skate of the name of Snow King. He got 20 tu I and might just as weii have had 100 to 1.' ?Hold on,' I interrupted, be ginning to feel a little sick; 'did you no tice anything peculiar about that young man?' 'Nothing particular,' said the bookmaker, 'except that he stuttered so bad I thought he would never make his play before the race was over.' "So that's why I'm sore on tips," add ed thq dentist "I got two straight ones, and I figure it out. that I lost $150 on the first-the $100 i didn't win and the $50 I loaned-and $420 on the.sec ond-the $400 I won, but didn't get and the $20 I was fool enough to tell my stuttering friend to keep; total, $570. Wouldn't that Jar you a little?" -New Orleans Times-Democrat Wanted Them Lirely. . "Talking about the queer, ways some people haye of sizing up a man's capa bilities for a Job," said a New Jersey man' the other day, "there recently died in my town a boss carpenter who had one question which he always ask '.ed of journeymen who applied to him for employment If the applicant was found to possess all the other neces sary qualifications, he would ask: . " "What are your favorite tunes ?" M 'Why, what do you want to know thatforr *' 'You whistle and slug some ac youl work, don't you?' " .Oh, yes.' fi 'Well, what tunes do you generally whistle or sing?' '"'Oh, there's "Old Hundredth" and "Auld Lang Syne" and "Down by the Weeping Willows" and' " That's enough,' the boss would ex claim. 'You won't do for me. These tunes are too slow for me. Good day.' "On the contrary, if the applicant an swered, .'Oh, I generally whistle ..Yankee Doodle" or "The Fisher's Hornpipe" or something of that son the carpenter would say at once: "1 think you'll db.

"lias Millicent start oil Uer clileken farm yet?'' asked a girl who lives on Pine street as she met a friend at the cud of the Lake Shore drive. "Mercy, no! Haven't you heard?"' exclaimed the I*nke Shore ('rive girl. "She put her money in some kind ot stocks, and now she's so prejudiced against chickens that she 'won't eat bindet even." "Tell me al! about it, dear," com manded thc Pine street young womau. "I thought she had high ideals of earn ing her own living In the beautiful country and not being aristocratic a" "No, no; It wasn't that. It was the horrid way lu which Frank behaved about it, and now she's broken her en gagement, and she's just ns set against him as she ls against chickens-and more so. You see that os soon as Milli cent began to talk about a chicken farm the postman began to bring poul try circulars-great big packages label ed, 'Here's the place to get your Plym outh Rocks,' 'hens that lay to beat the band,' and all that. Finally it got so that about 25 of these came every day, and the postman threatened to report lt to the department as some kind of a lottery scheme or something. Frank just roared about it, and one day he ad mitted that he had given Millicent's name to a poultry firm and had all those circulars sent to her/' "And then Millicent broke the en gagement?" "Yes, and she never says anything more about chickens."-Chicago Inter Ocean. The First to Wear Armor. One of the most interesting curiosi ties in the Museum of Natural History In New York is a prehistoric life size statue of au American In armor. Visitors who go there will learn that men in armor are not confined to the effete monarchies of Europe. The time when Americans wore this sort of clothing began ages before the oldest suit of armor lu the Tower of London. This terra cotta figure was found by an Indian in a cave near the modern city of Texcoco. It was broken In a number of pieces when found, and with these fragments were portions be longing to two other figures of a simi lar character. The figure is approximately life size and represents a man with arms ex tended and mouth opened as if singing or shouting. The bands show that each formerly grasped some object; the ends of the fingers are broken off. The body ls dressed in quilted armor; the head ls artificially flattened. It seems evident that we have, In this remarkable specimen of art in terra cotta, the actual portrait or statue of some distinguished war chief of the old Alcolhuan tribe, dressed In armor, and very probably having In his hands his sword and shield. This statue carries us back to the days when the American continent pos sessed a civilization ot its own that has disappeared more completely than that of ancient Egypt or Assyria.-Philadel phia Times. Tho Readiness ot Tommy. "Tommy is such a good boy," said Mrs. Taddells to the minister, as she served the pastry. "You know, Dr. Choker, that plo isn't good for little beys." "That Is very true, Mrs. Taddells," the minister assented. "When I was a bey, I was* not allowed to eat pastry, and all mothers must watch their chil dren's diet very carefully." "But I am not at all harsh with Tommy, you will understand, doctor,*/ Mrs. Taddells went on. 7,Wheh?veVl have something for dessert which Tommy caouot eat-pie, for example I give him 5 cents to pay for his dep rivation. And Tommy takes it so cheerfully, doctor. Tommy is such a dear boy. Dr. Choker." "I am very glad to hear lt, Mrs. Tad dells. No, thank you, I could not think of eating more than one piece of pie, excellent as lt is. But I am truly glad to hear of Tommy's manliness and cheerfulness when deprived of pie. I suppose, Tommy," the clergyman went'on, "you like pie?" "Yesslr." "What makes you take the 5 cents so cheerfully to go without?" "Oh, with the nickel I can get a whole pie at the grocery around the corner."-Harper's Bazar. Asia's Great Sink Holes. While Asia has the loftiest moun tains in the world, it aiso possesses the deepest and most extensive land de pressions, several of them, as is well known, shaking below sea level, so that if the beean could flow into them they would be filled to the brun. In the deepest parts of most of them wa ter. how stands, forming small seas. Others are destitute of water. Among these Is the Lukebrjs depression Ia central Asia, concerning which Gener al Tillo writes, la the ''Proceedings of the Russian Geographical Society," that la places lt sinks nt: much as 400 feet below sea level.
