There is growing interest in foods
and their manner of preparation, in

extensively pratronized by ladies of the

mately related to the nobility. who
thus laudably seek, by the fore of t',cir

standard of cookery among the COM

QUEEN CHRISTINA.
Reluctance of the Spanish Regent to Sign n
Death Warrant.

Reluctance of the Spanish Regent to Sign n
Dcnth Warrant.
Queen Christina of Spain invariably
displays the greatest reluctance to
sign death warrant, and has lust fin
ishcd another striking demonstration
of her sentiments in matters of this
kind Lately corporal named Girones
suddenly burst into the Office of the
captain-general of Baccelona and dis
charged revolver at i'm. The wound
inflicted was fortunately Il slight one,
but the oifcnse was sufficiently serious
to render necessary a sentence of death
for the culprit. Within forty-cight
hours the Judgment of the court
martial was submitted to the queen at
San Sebastian, and after much pressure
on the part of the minister of war re-
ceivcd her signature.
The man was to be executed on the
following day, and in accordance with
the Spanish custom was conveyed to
the chapel of the prison for the pur-
pose of spending his last night on
earth in listening TO the mournful
chanting of the penitential psalms and
the prayers for the dying and for the
dead. The very moment that the man
entered the chapel the queen was mott
he'd of the fact ut San Sebastian, and
herself withdrew to her oratory TO
pray for the soul of the condemned
prisoner. A dinner and n reception
which had'becn arranged for that night
at the palace were countermanded by
her orders, and her whole manner be-
trnycd great distress of mind
AT one O'Clock in the morning, when
issuing from her oratory, Il telegram
was handed to her from the archbishop
of Barcelona bearing the following
words:
"On my conscience and with NV
hand on the Holy Gospels, assure
your majesty that Corporal Girones is
insane"
The regent Immediately caused the
minister of justice, who happened to be
the cabinet officer in attendance at San
Sebastian, to be summoned, and drew
his attention to the fact that n prelatc
of the rank and Importance of the arch
bishop of Barcelona would never have
dared to thus telegraph unless he had
been absolutely certain of what he
was advancing. This somewhat dra-
matte interview between the queen and
her minister at "thc dead of night"
terminated in the dispatch of tcle-
gram bearing the queens command
that the prisoner should be rcpricved.
The telegram reached the authorities
at Barcelona just as Girones, who had
no motive in attempting to assassinate
the captain-general, was being led
from the chapel to the field of execu-

SLAUGHTER of Sea Birds.

1t has sometimes been supposed that
Colerdge, in the"Ancient Mariner" did
something to check the bnrbarous Gus
tom of Strengthening sea birds, but a
correspondent of London contem-
porary informs Manchester paper
that in some of the Yorkshire watering
places guns are regularly let out to Wis
itors, who make Il practice of killing
and miaming the birds for the mere
pleasure of destroying them. The sea-
gull is useless for food, and the men
whose wanton cruelty is exposed do
not, it seems, even attempt to secure
their prey. The favorite plan is to fire
at first indiscriIninately. Then, when
the birds hover over u wounded com
panion, wholesale and indiscriminate
slaughter is attempted. = Black and

ECONOMIST CUSTOMS.

A Strange People Who Have Peculiar
Ideas About Religion and Other Mat

'Therc is quite history connected
with that coin" remarked travelling
man as he looked over some change at
the soda-watcr fountain. Several
years ago, when l was in Pennsylva-
mia, had charge of gang of men,

female figure familiar to all who hap

enough to inspect them. The edge was
perfectly smooth and yellow, whereas
the coin OF today has the scrratcd
edge. The date was 1919
IL was Interested" he continued, Sin
tracing the history of these particular
coins, as | kept receiving them from
the bank every month for some time
| ascertained that clan of people with
peculiar ideas about everything in gen
eral and religion in particular had
placed them there. These Economists,
us they were called, are not unlike the
Shakers in some respects.
''They have one common purse,
though the families live in their scpa-
rate homes. They do not believe in
marriage. No matter who the person
or what the circumstances, anyona
unfortunate to have any such fleshlv
desire is treated with much pity and
small charity, given Il blessing, q bin
of potatoes and hidden an affectionate
farewell"
In answer to the questions as to how
their numbers are replcnished he re-
piled: They are constantly making
converts and as the old ones die off new
ones take their places. The Economist
bachelor does not have the wocful time
replacing his buttons the unfortunatcs
of other sects are familiar with, as he
is not allowed any buttons to wear
Don't look alarmed; he is not tied or
pinned together. He uses hooks and
eyes. Why the citizens of Economy
should discourage the use OF buttons
does not seem to be known even to
themselves.
MANY things in Economy are more
peculiar than the unbuttoned condition
OF The community. They have no front
doors or windows, their light coming
in the back way, seemingly in more
senses of the word than one No tree
or shrub not bearing fruit is allowed to
grow. Their shade consists mostly of
apple trees
