Every British Tradesman Seeks the
Princes Custom.
There is no day in the life of the
British tradesman, excepting, perhaps,
his wedding day, 80 filed with the
poetry OF beatific joy and exaltation as
that upon which, like messenger from
above, that coveted slip of parchment,
known as the Royal Warrant" de-
scenas upon him. This warrant is no
ordinary honor, but Is in trade more
than degree to doctor or a commits
sion to an officer. Both the latter come
in the ordinary line Of promotion, but q
tradesman may be, financially speak
ing, very successful, and still be out in
the cold as far as royal customers are
concerned. All royal personages, says
the Clothier and Furnisher, have right
to issue their personal warrants, from
her majesty down, and such are gener-
ally Of very simple character, written
on large lithograph form under the
elaborately worked arms of the donor,
and signed by the comptroller of his
household. Each warrant is governed
by its owners own special conditions,
that of the prince Of Wales being, be-
sides the usual clause limiting it's use
exclusively to the original recipient
during his actual business career, to the
effect that it is only given after three
years continued satisfactory service.

TOOK THE PREY.
The Trick a Naturalist Played on an Un-
suspecting Fox.

Il
suspecting Fox.
Rev. j. Murray, in his work on the
creation, relates that on one occasion an
acquaintance of his was out shooting
wild ducks, says the Boston Courier.
On reaching bend of the stream he
saw six wild geese out of range. He
crouched down in the hope that they
would presently come nearer. While
thus concealed he observed fox steal
ing down to the bank, on reaching
which he remained motionless with his
eye fixed on the geese. At length he
retired, but presently reappeared carry
ing in his mouth very large bundle
of moss. He entered the water silent
ly, sank himself, and then, keeping the
moss above the water, himself con-
cealed, he 1oated among the geese.
Suddenly one of them was drawn un-
der the water, and the fox soon ap-
peared on the bank with the goose on
his back. Close to the waters edge he
found hole, caused by the uprooting
of a tree. This hole he cleared out and
enlarged, placed the goose at the bot
tom of it and covered his prize with
leaves and dry litter, of which there
was abundance close at hand. The fox
then took his departure, and the inter-
ested watcher went to the hole and re-
moved the goose, taking care to re-
store things to their former appearance.
Then he resolved to observe what fol-
lowed. In about half an hour the fox
returned in company with another.
They went straight to the place where
the goose had been buried and removed
the earth. No goose there. They stood
looking at each other for some time,
and then suddenly the second fox at
tackled the other most furiously, as if
enraged by having q trick played on
him

,sp THE GRIP IN ENGLAND.
Over Twenty Thousand Deaths nom II In
the Year 1890.

Over Twenty Thousand Deaths nom II In
tho Year 1890.
The report Of the register general for
1890. relating to the births, marriages
and deaths in England and Wales dur
ing that year has just been issued, says
the British Medical Journal. The
birth rate, which has shown contipu-
GUS decline since 1875, was the low
est recorded during any of the last
fifty years, although the marriage rate
during the last four years has shown
steady increase, and was higher in 1890
than in any year since 1883. With re-
gard to the deaths during the period
under review it appears that the stand
ard of public health reached in recent
years was not maintained during $780,
The death rate, which has been 1O.1,
1871 and 1872 per 1000 persons living in
the preceding three years, 1SS7-SS-S9, rose
to 1876 during 1890. 1t should be noted,
however, that compared with other
earlier years this death rate was still
low one; for in none of the ten years,
1ss1-9O, was the death rate as high as
900 per 1000. whereas in no year pre-
vious to 1881 was it ever so low. Tlsi

is attributable to the epidemic of influ-'
enza, to which, although it was gen.
orally prevalent only during the first
quarter of the year, 4.523 deaths were
directly ascribcd. This, however, prob
ably represents but & small portion of
the mortality really attributable to in
fluenza; for the immense increase in
the mortality from respiratory diseases
at the same time. notwithstanding the
mildness Of the season, was clearly due
to the same cause. The register gen.
eral estimates the number of deaths
directly or indirectly due to the infu-
enza in 1890 at upward of $1,000, which
is equivalent to death rate of almost
per 1000. 1t is satisfactory to note
that the mortality from nearly all other
zymotic diseases was below the aver
age. Only 16 deaths resulted from
smallpox in 1890, the smallest number
in any one year on record. The deaths
referred to constitutional diseases. es-
pecially to phthissi, showed marked
increase, probably attributable to the
fact that number of persons of
phythisical constitution were pre-
maturely carried off Ly the influenza
epidemic during the early part Of the
year.

SWALLOWED A HORSE.
A Marvellous Snake Story That Comes All
the Way from Georgia.

a
the Way from Georgia.
Rev. DR.. G. w. Parker, a respected
preacher of Bremen, Ca, is authority
for the following tale, according to the
Atlanta Constitution: "Dr. l. N. Chan
ey used to practice medicine in Carroll
ton. He now keeps hotel in Bremen.
He went to Carrollton the other day in
his buggy, and while there traded an
old debt for good horse, and started
out for Boston in his buggy, leading his
new horse. When he was nearing the
Little Tallapoosa river bridge at Kings
berry's mill he suddenly heard a roar
to be a storm. Looking up the hill he
saw the forest in commotion and the
trees falling and bending toward him,
and in the midst of it huge body which
proved to be snake. The doctor put
whip to his horse and was quickly on
the bridge. Feeling the buggy jerk he
looked and saw the snake swallow the
horse he was leading and plunge into
the river just above the bridge, and as
the snake poled his head out on the
other bank of the stream, his tail still
upon the side Of the hill, his body
reached clear across the river. The
horse, having on new shoes, kicked
through the stomach of the snake, and
the snake stopped and the stream was
damned, and the water rose and float
ed the snake to a level with the bridge.
The doctor jumped out of the buggy,
took out big knife, and cutting the
hole larger where the horses feet were
sticking out Of the snakes body, the
horse founced out and mounted the
bridge. The doctor secured him to his
buggy and drove on, but by this time
the water had backed till the horse had
to swim to low ground. but they made
their escape"

RUSSlA'S FEARFUL PLIGHT.
Hundreds of Thousands of People who
Have Nothing to Eat.

Hundreds of Thousands OF People Who
Have Nothing to Eat
How real is Russia's famine is shown
in a letter from an English correspond
ent to the London Daily News, who.
writing on Christmas day from Eliza
bethgrad, in southern Russia, two hum
dred miles northeast of Odessa, says:
1T is now certain that the state Of the
peasants in the famine districts of the
empire is extremely serious, and that
only extraordinary measures can save
the people from starvation or complete
ruin. Fifty-fve millions of rubles have
already been assigned by the govern
ment for the preservation of the hun.
cry, but this sum is exhausted, and a
fresh amount is to be given for the seed
time of next spring. The offerings of
private persons are very considerable.
The poorest, as rule, give the most.
In great many villages in which the
crops have been satisfactory the peas
ants have sent half of them away to the
sufferers. Even the Russian soldier,
who, as is we'll known, has very little,
gives away a portion Of what he re-
ceives. In one village, in which I
stopped on my way, there were only
three families among fifty who had any
bread at all, and during one hour these
three houses were besieged by two
hundred men, women and children.
each of whom received something. Tho
givers gave no heed to their own pros
poets. although they well knew that
after q couple Of weeks they will them
selves have to go begging from one vii
lage to another. This act of charity
made an impression upon me that will
never be effaced.

ICE LOCOMOTIVE.
Description of q Machine Invented by .
New York Boiler Inspector.


New York Boiler Inspector.
At Fishlsill Landing on freight car
is so-called ice locomotive. It was
built by New York boiler inspector
as an experiment for navigating the
Hudson on the ice. It is about six feet
long, with cab attached. The boiler
head, inside the cab, is supplied with a
trottle valve, steam gauge, reverse
lever and steam cocks exactly like a
locomotive. Under the center OF the
boiler, connected with the steam chest
by side rods, are two small cogwheels,
twelve or fifteen inches in diameter.
Under each end of the machine are two
steel runners each foot long and fash.
ioned like circuit runners. The cogs
are expected to dig into the ice and thus
move the machine along over the ice on
the runners at rate of speed not yet
estimated by the inventor. The cab Is
not large enough for person to get in
side, but the machine will probably
draw, or is intended to draw, small
platform car behind on runners, and
from this car the trottle inside the cab
and the reverse lever can be handled.
The whole machine weighs one thou
sand pounds.
Some years ago Mr.. Dodd, Of Dodd's
express, built a machine at Fishkill
Landing for travel over the ice. All
machinery attached to it was of pom
derous character, SO that when the
steam iceboat was completed it weighed
five or six TONS 1t was placed on the
ice at Fishlsill Landing to test its speed.
The steam was let on, but the big cogs,
which were to force the boat along
over the ice, instead of doing SO, dug
down into the ice and almost cut the
mass of iron and wood through, and Mr..
Dodd came near losing his machine.
After the invention had cost him many
hundreds of dollars it had to be aban-
doned.
The later invention is the only thing
of the kind that has come before the
public since. 1t remains to be seen
what it will amount to. It has enc ad-
vantage over the Dodd invention-it
dees not weigh much more than an ice
