THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
The Most Highly Priced of All the Sury1v>
ing Orders of Chivalry.


OF all the orders Of medi@val chiv-
alry which have survived the shocls~of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm of
1889, that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage. Students Of the history of the
nrt or science of heraldry will learn
with interest and pleasure that, the Or
der Of the Toison dor Of Spain having
been conferred on the Duke of York, his
royal highness was on Tuesday invest
ed, at Marlborough House, with the in
sigma of the order by the Prince of
Wales, himself knight of the order,
acting in the name of the queen regent
and on behalf of the young king Of
Spain. The secretary Of the Spanish
embassy, as chancellor of the order, read
the royal commission creating the duke
knight, and the august ceremony was
also attended by the Duke Of SAKE Co
burg Gotha and the Duo d'Aumale as
knights of the order, and by the Span
ish ambassador and the Earl of Kimber-
ley, her majesty's secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
The Duke of York only received tho
badge of tho order, in the shape of tho
figure of sheep in embossed gold sus
pended from heavy chain of gold, but
at chapter of tho order or at great
court functions at Madrid he would be
entitled TO wear tho full robes, consist
ing Of long mantle of crimson velvet,
cut in the fashion Of sacerdotal cope,
richly embroidered at the borders with
emblematio devices Of stars, half moons
and f1eeces in gold and lined with white
satin, over doublet and hose of Grim
son damask. The full robes also COM
prise "ohaperon, or hood, with
long flowing streamer of black satin,
but this headgear has in modern times
been generally dispensed with.
Originally the robes Of the order,
which was founded in 1929 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were Of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool, and this circumstance has some
what strengthened tho theory that the
golden fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the fiocl1s reared on his vast
estates in Flanders. Be it as it may,
the woolen costume was changed in
1473 at chapter held at Valenciennes
for the more costly materials of velvet,
taffeta, damask and gold embroidery.

New York, July CIV. A. Brady
manager of Pugilist Corbett, arrived to-
day by the Britannia. He appears te
be deeply interested in bringing about 6
meeting between Corbett and Jackson
Jim has some very pronounced ideas
of Jackson" said he. 'He does not be-
lieve the Australian wants q finish
fight. This is the reason for all the talk
about q 20round engagement at the
National Sporting club. which should be
called the jackson club" he added, with
q sneer.
"Why they are all Jackson people to
q man, and Jim would not have the
ghost Of a chance. We know that Da-
vies and Lord Lonsdale have been in
constant communication, and the former
by guaranteeing purse OF $4,000 tried
to force Jim into a match, but they did
not succeed.
George Pirris told me that two men
could not fight 20 rounds in that club
unless one was beaten.
II saw four drawn battles. It's only
q 16.foot ring, and Jim, after looking
the place over, told them frankly he
did not like their club or their money,
and would not fight there"
But there are no available clubs
here save those in the SOUTH" was sug-
gested. do you expect Jackson to fight
there?''
''For my part 1 do not know what to
expect from jackson, but I'll tell you,
as l started to, what Jim expects him to
do" Brady replied impressively. "Jim
thinks Jackson will come on here, make
a grand stand play about the south and
then retire, or else after whole lot OF
talking finally agree to fight below the
Mason and Dixon line. Then his man.
sger will say that he has conceded every
thing to Corb bett."
Jim will fight him anywhere In the
United States and any time that will
suit him. When he gets here he will
throw some turkey talk in Jackson's di-
recton. depend upon that"
How about Fitzsimmons
"Oh," said Brady, psusing "a though
to place the mans name, "Fitzsimmons
wants to fight Cor5ett, eh? Well, Cor
bett wants to arrange things with Peter
Jackson just at present. but the long
one need not be alarmed about getting
shut out. Some time, and it Ia very
soon, Jim will agree to put him out in
four rounds. Fitzsimmons cuts no fg.
ure with Corbett. He will be attended
to in due season."
Brady spoke enthusiastically OF the
treatment shown Corbett in England,
Ireland, Holland and France.

A Pine Knot Squirrel Hunt,

"a pine knot squirrel hunt is about
the most exciting sport I know" said
A. r. McIlvane. SIN the pine woods Of
the south there are great many squir-
rels, and the ground is covered with
knots These are very hard, and their
shape renders them much easier than
stones to throw straight. Frequently
parties of expert throwers are formed 4
kill squirrels without guns, and it is re.
markable how successful they are.
When o squirrel is sighted, the mar
who discovers him has the first throw.
and if the squirrel is not hit it belongs
to whoever gets it. About one-half OF
the throws bring the squirrels down.
and the party will often return with 100
of tho animals. AS the trees are high
and the squirrels are generally on tho
branches, the difficulty Of hitting them
is very great. but the skill of a great
many with these knots is remarkable.

Some Puzzling Queries That Appear Not
Hard to Answer.
If goose weighs 10 pounds and halt
its own weight, what is the weight OF
the goose? Who has not been tempted
to reply on the instant Is pounds? the
correct answer being, of course, 90
pounds. 1t is astonishing what a very
simple query will sometimes catch a
wise man mapping. Even the follow
ing have been known to succeed:
How many days would it take to out
yaLu uclny Stv-a1t'o,5 5ny -,N-.J'- i~-.-- 49,
A snail climbing up pole 20 feet
high ascends five feet every day and
slips down four feet every night. How
long will the snail take to reach the top
of the post?
A wise man having a window one
yard high and one yard wide, requiring
more light, enlarged his window to
twice its former size, yet the window
was still only one yard high and one
yard wide. How was this done?
This is catch question in geometry,
as the preceding were catch questions
in arithmetic. The window was dia.
mond shaped at first and was afterward
made square.
AS to the two former, perhaps It is
scarcely necessary seriously to point out
that the answer to the first is not DC
days. but 40, and to the second not &c
days, but 10, since the snail, who gains
one foot each day for 15 days, climbs
on the sixteenth day to the top of the
pole and there remains. -Pittsburg Dis

TEN TsrN, July 27.-The British and

Japan, where he will be detained until

Wednesday q Japanese cruiser sank a
Chinese cruiser conveying transports.
While no formal declaration of war,
according to usual diplomatic forms,
has been made, the governments OF both
China and Japan recognize that war ex-
lists, and more collisions are expected
hourly. The general opinion seems to
be that while japan may be looked upon
as likely to score the fret victories,
Chimes troops eventually will drive the
Japanese out of Cores, even If Corean
people have 20 be sent to the

progress and there is . vague
chance that amicabIe arrangements may
be arrived at. Should this be the case,
the naval engagements that have al

be held to constitute cssus belli. No

Peking, believes for q moment the dis
pute can be settled without blood.
The 6rst overt act occurred Tuesday,

Some of the Resources and Pleasures Of the

''There is one delight" said man

I suppose many children born in great
cities never know, and that is the de-
light of playing in the garnet. Many
city children, to be sure, have relatives
in the country OF in smaller cities or
towns whom they have visited, who live
in houses with garrets, and these know
something of the delights of the garret,
but there must be many city children
who never even heard the name.
For myself, remember we'll gar

weather up steep and narrow fight OF
stairs. 1t was warm and rather stuffy
in the garret, but the rain made music
on the shingled roof, and the garnet it.
self was full of treasures. There was
room, to begin with, space to move
about in, though you needed to look out
a little for the timber in the slopins
roof. There was swing from two o1
the beams, and we used to swing ano
swing in that and never get tired of it.
There was chimney up through this
garret, great big, friendly chimney,
and we used to play tag around thai
chimney until we couldn't run any
more. There was great lot Of ole
magazines, and these were an unfailinl
source of delight. There were old books
in queer type, and with strange looking
pictures There were queer old hail
covered trunks, with round tops, stud
ded with brass headed nails In thest
trunks and around in the garret were
curious, old fashioned mems clothes
and the most extraordinary gowns ant
capes and hats Of women-not fancy
costumes, but the real things, such al
they actually wore many years ago, ant
looking stranger than anything yor
could hire at a costumer's. We used Il
dress up sometimes in these old, ole
things and parade around in the garre
and have great times generally, and 81
forgot ourselves in the delights of the
garret that the very world itself looked
strange when we came down stairs ant
back to it.
