HeIvoir Castle.

Belvoir castle has come in for fair
share of newspaper anecdotes. Pseudo
Gothic in style, its broad turrets and
battlemented walls stand on the top of
mound which was thrown up at the end
of q spur of the Leicestershire wolds by
Robert de Todeni, standard bearer Of
the Conqueror. From its ''lordly ter
races" the eye ranges over wide ex-
panse of landscape, on which there rise
conspicuous the ruined keep of Noting
ham and Lincoln's cathedral towers
The works of art are numerous, but,
with one or two exceptions, of secondary
Importance. In the cellar is monster
cask of ale called after the founder of
the castle. Its capacity is !, 300 gallons,
and twelve people have dined in it.
There Is also silver punch bowl, rest
ing upon four massive eagles claws,
which is used on the occasion Of fam
lily christening. At the foot of the
wooded hill is stabling for 100 horses; a
mile and half distant are the kennels
for the fox hounds, and from the trees
somewhat farther off there energies the
steeple of the village of Wolsthorpe,
where is farm noted for the breeding
of prize cattle.-London Star.

An Excellent Method Of Exercising.


According to competent military crit
les, ono of tho best drilled uniformed
bodies in this city is juvenile battalion
called 1.-The Knickerbocker Grays." 1t
is composed of from seventy-fve to eighty
boys, ranging in age from eight TO twelve
years. The battalion is an exclusive one,
being really a private drill class which
was started few years ago by num-
Der of wealthy women who desired that
their sons should have the benefit of ex-
ercise and instruction in the manual of
arms. The use of the Seventy-first Regi-
ment armory is enjoyed by the boys,
through the courtesy Of the officers of
that regiment, and they drill there on
Monday and Thursday afternoons dur
ing the winter season. The uniform of
the Knickerbocker Grays consists of
gray coat, trousers and cap of regula-
ton pattern, and dark stockings. The
gray garments are neatly trimmed with
black braid Each member of the Grays
carries musket with bayonet
The president of the association, which
exercises rigid supervision over this
drill class, is Mrs. Edward Curtis, the
vice president is Mrs. Beverly Robinson,
the treasurer is Mrs. Bradish johnson,
and the secretary is Mrs. II. II. Chitten-

A gentleman who was particularly
popular with American visitors to Berlin
was Professor William Won Hoffman,,
the eminent German chemist who dieG
few weeks ago. Owing TO his sojourn
in the United States he spoke English
well. and several years ago addressed
the Americans at Berlin at their Thanks
giving dinner. The speech was fatter-
ing to the people Of the United States.
Since the resignation of Bunsen from
the professorship OF chemistry at Heidel-
berg it has been the ambition of almost
avery American studying chemistry in
Germany to be pupil of Hoffman,.
He always took the greatest interest in
his American pupils. He often had
more than score of them in his labora-
tory at one time. The late Emperor
Frederick was also his pupil. When he
came to the throne he ennobled his for
mer preceptor.

rHE aERRY MANsIoN.

While Mrs. Vanderbilt has been ex-
pending money and ingenuity ON an out
of town residence, Commodore Elbridge
T. Gerry has been devising means for
the erection of the handsomest city home
in the United States. Work has already
been commenced ON the building, which
will be at the corner of Fifth avenue
and Sixty-first street, next door to the
Metropolitan, better known as the Mil
lionaires' club. The house will be of
marble. No wood at all will be used,
as the beams will be of steel. The build
ing will be about 100 feet on Fifth av-
enue and 144 feet on Sixty-frst street.
The Fifth avenue front of the building
will be given up to sumptuously ap-
pointed drawing rooms, and the re-
mainder of the first floor will be occu-
pied by the dining room, picture gallery
and Commodore Gerry's law library and
''den."
Mrs. Gerry's apartments will take up
the entire space over the drawing rooms.
Each of the bedrooms will have bath
and maids room adjoining. Besides the
commodore's study the third floor will
contain specially constructed room for
isolating any member of the family who
may be stricken down with contagious
disease. The attic will be devoted to
twelve servants chambers, ranged about
large central workroom. The building
will be elaborately decorated.

W. X. vANDERBILT's COTTAGE.

W. X. VANDERBILT COTTAGE,
the details, has not permitted her most
intimate friends, or even members of
her family to inspect the building which
she will occupy shortly and which
she expects will be a surprise TO every
one, as it is intended that it shall be
the handsomest cottage" in the United
States.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended in identifying the
grounds, and nature herself has been
overcome by the erection of an artificial
promontory, which projects for con-
siderable distance into the sea. The
main vestibule extends 81 feet in one
direction and 80 feet in the other. Its
walls and floor are of yellow marble.
This apartment is 60 feet high, and has
a balcony upon which the rooms of the
second story open, running entirely
around it. The ceiling is divided into
panels by massive beams and is beauti-
fully frescoed. The dining room is on
the first floor and measures AS by 80 feet.
The drawing room is of the same size as
the dining room, and is on the opposite
side of the vestibule. The walls of this
apartment are completely covered with
crystal and gold. The value of the
latter is said to be enough to build an
ordinary municipal building. The library
and Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt's apart
ments rival in magnificence Aladdin's
cave, and the entire finish of the ''cot-
rage" is such as is calculated to excite
the envy even of the multimillionaires
who have summer homes at Newport.

CLOSE OF LATONA SCHOOL.
Work OF the Year Has Greatly Pleased
the PeODle.

The Latona school closed Thursday afternoon
with exercises in the rooms of Miss Condor and
Miss Marshall, after which the children were
treated by their teachers to a nice dish of
strawberries with cream and cake, which
was very much enjoyed. Quite a number
OF the parents were present and con-
graduated the teachers on their success in the
past school year. Miss Evers with her pupils
took their lunch baskets and went to Ravenna
PARK and spent the afternoon, enjoying the
beautiful scenery. The scholars were very
much pleased with their afternoon outing and
all came home reporting having had very
good time.
This is the first year that Latona has en-.
ioyed a school under the protection of the
Seattle school board and everybody seems
very much pleased with the result.
