AT the beginning of the present year
the British House of Lords consisted Of ::
Blood royal, s; archbishops, 2 dukes,
IL; marquises, 20; earls, 1913; vis-
counts, ~ bishops, 2s; barons, 26I, or
a total of about IS per cent. more than

ants, of two only now sit in the upper
House These are Lords Hastings and
De Ros, the baronies of both dating from
1864. The surviving peerages which
were creations of the fourteenth century
are a: of the fifteenth century, 7, Of the
sixteenth, o5. The remainder are the
creations of the present century. In the
series of Tory administrations between
100 and 1890 there were more than four
hundred new peerages; the actual num-
Der called into existence within the reign
of George III. was 1888. During the

Minister had either made or promoted
thirty.fve raw peers. The large proper.
ton of these names have, however,
dropped from the roll of the House of
Lords; for, on an average, more than
twenty peers die annually, and three or
four titles become extinct every year.
Between the accession to power Of Earl
Grey in November, 1880, and the resigns
alton of Mr.. Gladstone in February, 1874,
successive liberal Premiers had added
163 names to the roll of the House Of
Lords, and conservative Prime Ministers
90. Of the whole, Lord Aberdeen was
the most sparing in his distribution of
these honors tor, during the term of his
administration, between December, 1852
and February, 1856, he merely called up
the barony of Stafford, and did not
create one new peer.

are trying To- git out OF existence as fast
as possible. The record says that Troy
woman took strychnine because her hus-
band wouldn't run in debt TO get her a
velvet cloak; Chicago youth swallowed
an overdose OF morphine because a bad
woman locked him out Of her miserable
heart and house; sixteen year old Ken

All of Which we Believe.

a lively aud interesting yarn comes
from Cairo, ILL.,, respecting an individual
Of the colorsd persuasion, who for the
last fifteen years has been turning white.
The change In color Of his skin began
fifteen years ago. In spot tho size OF
three cent piece, on his right wrist. and
has been spreading steadily until now
the only black left upon his person are
few spots on his hands, and mask. ne
1t were, on his face, extending from his
forehead % his mouth, with the excep-
ton Of his eyebrows, which arc white
the hair on them being black and straight
like white mans. The skin Of his
head, neck and body IL a healthy flesh
color like that Of any white man and Is
tender and easily b,istered by tho sun,
and - hair Is getting straight like a
white mans. Tho FIRST impression upon
seeing him Is that his face has bean
painted with iodine but his eyes are of
the unmistakable color Of = negrO's. All
OF which We most potenuy believe.
