The facts that the abolition of rabbit
cOursng in England on account OF its cru
city Is being agitated, and that the Queen
has written a letter COndemning the sport,
have drawn attention 10 the Royal Buck
hounds, a pack which has been maintained
for ages. The Master IF the Royal Buck
hounds is a salarled officer Of state and the
Office IS in the gift Of the Prime Minister,
the honor being always bestowed upon
some peer Of high standing. The buck
hounds hunt nothing but tame deer,
reared in the royal parks at Windsor.
When there is stag hunt deer
is taken from the herd and conveyed to the
place OF the meet there it is loosed in a
strange locality and compelled by fear 10

thinks-pursued by a ! ack of fifty stag
hounds and large number Of titled ladies
and gentlemen on horseback. The object
being to catch, not to kill the deer-it is
considered very bad form TO allow the stag
hounds TO kill the auimal-the frightened
quarry suffers all the terrOrs Of the chase
except actual death, and may be compelled
TO endure them many times. On the con-
tTary rabbits are killed when caught and
suffer 81 much the less. Many critics think
the Queen should begin preventing cruelty
TO animals by abOllSning the Royal Buck
hounds.

Funny Incident at n Magic-Lantern Show
in Maine.

A Brooklyn Young man had a dreadful
experience during the holiday week while
on a visit to the home of his ancestors way
down in Maine. Life in the little village
was awfnlly dull and he attended every
form of diversion. One evening q wander
ing magic-lantern RAN came along and gave
q show in the sehool-house. The young
man reached the hall of learning after
the show had begun aud found the room
shrouded in darkness and all the rear
seats occupied Fortunately, q step-ladder
stood against the wall, and climbing 10 the
top step. he took in the display as the
shadow pictures fitted over the snowy
screen. The Snowman did not know much
about his task and his lantern slides were
Of tue usual job-lOt sort. He had among his
collection, however a picture of an angel
soaring across the sky. Somehow he took
it into his head to twist the lantern about
and make the angel fly around the walls of
the room. The celestial visitor made a
jerky sort of fight around one side of the
building AID then jumped across to the rear,
the wondering eyes OF the audience follow
ing it as it flew. just as it got to where the
Step-adder stood there was a mitch in the
mechanism. The young man bad seen the
Irregular flight and was alarmed Mt the
prospect. He waved his hat frantically to-
ward the shadow, which, thanks TO the
hitch, came to full stop just in position

not know how nature had favored her, for
she and Mrs. Depew were equally astonished

Of Professor Watts of tie Scientific School
OF Yale College. Mrs. Depew is 40 years
old, Of medium height, with well-rounded
figure. She has fine carriage, which i'm
parts dignity to her appearance. Photo

of her face is largely in its sweetness and
expression. Her soft brown hair Is worn
in curls high on her forehead and head.
Her eyebrows curve beautifully, and long
lashes shade her brown eyes.
=" Mrs. James g. Blaine has had many
doubles, too One OF the closest is a school
friend, Mrs. Thomas Finley of Chicago.
Mrs. Harrison, since she became Mrs. PreSi-
dent, has had them, too. A head type

The kodak fiend vowed he would not; that
he had as much right there as any one, and
when requested TO remove the camera de-
clined. Then he was given the alternative
of summary election and finally gave it up
with bad grace. Amateurs need not apply
unless bearing Il permit. which is rarely
ever granted. Since the Sage affair in New
York visitors with bundles and umbrellas
are requested to leave then In the outer yes

the house ushers were tickled at the pros
pect, and when those five couples were

all the group looked lu1icrous. The sixth
couple could not withstand the influence of
the other five, and fell into bridal ways, much

Profits of the Louisiana Lottery.

The history and the exact methods of the
conduct Of the business of the Louisiana
Lottery Company have, we believe, never
been explained in brief compass until the
January number of tho Forum" presented
the complete history of the company, by one
of the founders of the Anti-Lottery League
and the editor of the anti-lottery organ OF
New Orleans. From this narrative it ap-
pears that the lottery company was crgan-
IZed by charter given by the Reeonstruc-
ton Legislature Of the State, and the sue
cessive stages of its growth are all explained
up to the time when it has now put ticket
of its own in the field, with the hope of re-
newing its charter for another twenty-five
years. The total amount of money taken
in by the lottery per annum, if all its tickets
are sold. Is $4,000, 900, and the largest pos
sible amount that can be drawn by the
holders of the tickets is q little over S14,-
coo, 900; so that the lottery puts into its own

that it receives. and this sum, in years when
