QUEEN vIcToRIA's DOGS.
An Aristocratic Trio In Very Comforta
bio Quarters.

An Aristocratic Trio In Very Comforta
Bile Quarters.
Dogs were first admitted to thu
court Of England in the reign O,
Henry Will, says the Sportsman:
Review. Under the present reign
three dogs have been elevated to the
highest canine dignities on account
OF their aristOcratic families and theiI
own peculiar merits. The names OF
the aristocratic trio are Marco, Roy
and Spot. Marco is the Queens ia
vorite, and he used to be very jealous
Of John Brown. His ancestry can be
traced back to the crusaders. He is
what they call in England a Pomer-
anian, and at one of the recent dog
shows he won the first prize, the mug
Of honor. The other favorite, Roy,
is a collie, and Spot is fox terrier
with a record of twenty-five rats in a
quarter Of an hour.
These canine lords have their. resi-
dences with their special names. Her
majesty's dog place is divided into
three parts, the queens veranda,
SOi11C ZULU, duu I'LL OIclld COuTU.
The veranda is the principal one. 1t
Is a covered gallery around the ken
mel, and the queen likes to walk
there.
Each kennel has diDing-room and
a bedroom. The floor of the dining
room is separated from the veranda
by an iron grating. 1t is paved with
red and blue bricks, and the furni-
ture consists of trough, always full
Ct fresh water. The bedrooms have
two large windows, generally kept
open for the purpose Of ventilation,
and in snug corner in each room is
a very low bed with a mattress of
fresh straw.
Umbrella court gets its name from
the big umbrella in the middle of it,
under which the dogs can shelter
themselves from the sun and rain. A
host of servants wait upon the canine
nobility, and the queen is very severe
with the officials who do not pay
proper attention to her dogs. A chief
is provided for them, and his instruc-
lions are to vary the menu of the
dinners of her majesty's pets, and to
consult their tastes.

Mr.. Wilson at once made way, and the

CHAPTER III.

I sent my baggage to the ship on
Tuesday afternoon, and at 9 o'clock the
following morning l repaired on board
the Biddy McDugal as she lay in the
river Of the town. On gaining the deck
I perceived a number of seamen en-
ployed upon the ground tackle, and I
seemed to catch sight of the man who
called himself Wilson" and captain"
standing in the ships head and gazing
down over the bows, but his face was
but partially revealed, and the shadow
Of his wide straw hat darkened and OBJ
scured the little Of his countenance that
was visible. A man stood near the
gangway. clothed in blue serge, with a
white cover to his naval cap. He was a
sullen- looking fellow, with a reel Of
white beard and whiskers running down
his cheeks under his throat, a sour
mouth and a dry twist of face. which,
rounding into one eye, made 1t look
smaller than the other. AS l had not
yet met the mate Of the ship, I supposed
that this man might be the officer, and,
approaching him said;
Are you the mate?"
NO, he answered. leisurely bringing
his eyes down from aloft and fastening

Who are your" said I. nettled by his
brusque manner.
Who are you, first of all?" he an

His manner changed. Il ask your
pardon. said he: Il took you to be an
other gent; some one don't want to
have nothing more to say to. You're
amazingly like him, surely"
\ Are you the mate?" said I.
No. sir, he replied. Il am the cap
tain"
I eyed him steadfastly, and then
looked around the deck, scarcely know
ing as yet but that I had taken my pas
sage aboard ship full of lunatics.
The captain cried.
Ay, he answered, with IN emphatic
nod, Capt Parfltt."

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.'
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lghtest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unvholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

"TUSCARORA DEEP"
An Ocean Basin Which Is Over Five
Miles In Depth.

An Ocean Basin Which Is Over Five
Miles In Depth.
In the St. Louis Republic of August
II, 1889, says writer in recent num-
Der of that paper, used these words
under the head of "The Depth of
Oceans" '"The deepest measurements
ever taken in the Atlantic were made
by the Challenger expedition eighty
miles north of the Virgin islands, the
depth at that point being 34,25O feet
1854 fathoms), or about four and one
half miles. The deepest soundings ever
taken in. the Pacific ocean, or, in fact,
any place on the globe, were made in
the vicinity of the Ladrone islands, in
north latitude 12 degrees 4 minutes
east, longitude 143 degrees 16 minutes,
where the depth was found to be 2s. $50
feet (4,475 fathoms), or about Eve
miles"
While the above "notes" were all
right at the time Of their publication in
the Republic of the date mentioned, in
the light of our present knowledge of
photography they are "all wrong. !"
The following is based on the results of
soundings taken by the United States
steamship Tuscarora in 1890:
The Tuscarora was commissioned to
determine the feasibility of cable
route across the middle of the North
Pacific from California to Yokohama,
Japan, by way of the Sandwich and
BONN islands. On the homeward vov-
age they surveyed second route from
the east side OF Japan to the entrance
of Puget sound. June II, 1890, on the
second day out from the Japanese main
land, 3,427 fathom sounding was
made, only four fathoms short of the
deepest sounding made off the La
drones, according to my former "note"
this, too, at distance of only 100
miles from the coast of Japan. In
making the next cast, in the same vi
cinity, the Tuscarora's" men ran out
4,643 fathoms Of wire, and then the
line broke before bottom had been
reached. A Lucus sounding machine
with 1000 fathoms of wire was next
brought on the scene, and exactly 4, ,G55
fathoms Of the slender metallic strand
paid out" before the "nose" Of the ma
chine grounded. Several casts of the
apparatus were made in this immediate
neighborhood and the depths found to
range from 1856 up to the maximum of
1865, as given above. This series of re-
markable depths south and east of the
ridge lying between Cape Lapatka and
the Aleutian islands exceed any, similar
depressions yet found in any of the
great oceans.
The editor of Petermann's Geograph-
ical Magazine has given this extraor-
dinary ocean basin the name of ''Tus-
carora Deep" in honor of the United
States vessel making the soundings.
