TARANro, Oct. 16.--The British Med
iterransan squadron arrived here at
noon, escorted by the Italian warship
Italia. The visiting wsrships were sa-
luted by the forts and replied in kind.
Salutes were then exchanged between
the British admiral, Sir Michael Oulme
Seymour, and Admiral Turf of the
Italian vessels. The banks of the canal
and every point of vantage in the neigh
borhood were crowded with people, who
heartily cheered the British war vessels
as they passed in.
The British officers landed from the
warships this afternoon and proceeded
to the Princess Isabella club, where
reception was held in honor OF the vis-
iting sailors. An immense concourse of
people lined the route leading from the
waters edge to the club. On all sides
undoubted enthusiasm was shown. The
city and harbor are illuminated this
evening in the most elaborate manner.
Bands are to be heard on all sides, and
the national anthem of Great Britain
sounds high and loud above all the
other music at Taranto. The real fetes,
however, do not begin until tomorrow.
The newspapers of Italy generally join
in extending cordial greetings to the

A Vile Lilo In the PiiIory.

Weeks before the royal wedding it
was openly whispered that the Duke of
York, gallant sailor and a gentleman,
had made false step, had been forget
full of his princely and knightly duties
and obligations, and had, in fact, been
secretly married and involved himself in
mesalliance, repugnant to his sense Of
honor and illegal in the eyes CT the well
known statute law. That law is simple.
None of our blood royal can legally con-
tract marriage without the consent Of
the reigning sovereign. Morganatic
marriages have been recognized as such,
and such love inspired sanctity as at
taches to these unions when faithfully
adhered to- The world Knows all about
them and sympathizes with them. But
what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers,
the irresponsible, the chattering spar
rows who build under the caves of pal
aces?
Blankly this, that George of Wales
was married; that the name Of the place
and the name OF tae lady, alleged to be
the daughter Of naval officer of high
degree, were known, and both names
ana places changed and fluctuated as the
price of scandal shares rose or fell in the
gossip market. Like i'll winds, the ugly
runor grew apace over the dinner table
and afternoon teapot. Men talked of it
more shame to them-women Inur-
INJURED it with giggles and innuendc; the
very outsiders" got hold OF it, and all
the time the story was positively and alb
solutely untrue. Think you for an in
slant that the head Of our church would
have married our prince and princess
had he not first satisfied himself, as we
have reason to lrnow he did, that the
silly story was wholly untrue. absolutely
baseless? The question carries its own
sOswer. We contradict it directly with
authority. Il LQndon Gentlewoman.

that he would have an easy time, but

. n,cr.obster Pound.

There is q lobster farm, or pound, as II
is called, 10 acres in extent at Southport,
Me. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 100000 Holsters
are shipped each year. The pound IS
formed by building a solid dam across q
tidewater cove. This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark. but across the
top is placed fence Of iron rods, per-
mitting daily change of water and pre-
venting the Holsters from escaping. In
the spring and fall business is most brisk.
When the fishermen bring the Holsters
to the pound, the ''6sh." as they are
called, are hoisted to the dam, measured,
and those which are more than 10&
inches long, the legal limit, ARE thrown in.
If lobster is clever, his life in the pound
may be long and full Of joy. If he is
stupid, he will be fished, out with drag
seine and packed in barrel, with piece
of ice for pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with a heavy
chain. Along the top is row of corlzs,
which sustain the weight of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom Of
the pound.
A single cast of this seine will bring
up Holsters enough to fill IL barrels. The
chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the Holsters, which Immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine. In TAX
ing them out the men wear heavy nit
tens, though even then they are often
nipped In the pound the Holsters are
fed on salt herring, men rowing about
in skiffs and pitching the herring over
board. This is called feeding the chick

make light luncheon for the flock

The catIn Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded In
England at one time, both as rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following saln-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill a Cat that
guards the Princes Granery, he is to
forfeit a mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from. its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had o high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was a crime to kill them,
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
a token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host adj
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or of cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much. st. Louis Post

are strongly entrenched and making
daring sallies against the Soaniards,

The reinforcements which have arrived
OF Mellila are utterly inadequate, and
fully $1,000 men will be required in
order to enable the Spaniards to take
the offensive. Delay in the dispatch OF
a sufficient force to reinforce the troops
now at Mellila is explained by the fact
that the government here is desirous of
awaiting the result of the negotiations
now going ON between Madrid and
Tangier,
