Scared the shahrada.

A London correspondent tells the fol-
lowing interesting episode Of the shah
zada and the review at Aldershot. He
was evidently astonisbed and delighted
by what no saw, but there was one criti-
cal moment during which he must have
doubted the good faith Of Englishmen.
A large body Of lancers was put 10 the
charge, and instead Of charging past, as
is the custom, it charged directly ON the
spectators-that is to say, ON the Prince
Of Wales. the Duke Of Cambridge, the
Duke of Connaught, the shahzada and
their attendants The object was TO
show how suddenly a military move
ment could be arrested, but the shah
zada evidently doubted its purport, for
as the troops advanced at full speed, with
their lanoos levoled, he suddenly turn
cd his horse half round as II he appre-
hended a mistake and a disaster. His
attendants took care that his momentary
exhibition Of fear should not be too con-
Epicuous. When his horse was turned
round again, the lancers had pulled up

An Indian Sea Serpent Lssena.

The red men Of tho west have many
curious legends concerning the rivors,
lakes and mountains Of that region, none
more weird than that which is told con-
cerning Rock Lake, Washington. Since
time out Of memory the Indian tribes Of
that vicinity have believed the lake to
be inhabited by sea monster, which
never grows old, and whose chief diet Is
Indian flesh. According to tho legend,
no Indian ever entered its waters and
returned therefrom alive, no matter
whether the rash act was committed by
approaching its margin for q drink, for
q plunge and a swim, or for u canoe ride
upon its placid bosom. All Of the In
dians Of tho northwest know Of the ter
rors of Rock lake. and each and every
one would prefer death with a poisoned
arrow rather than to touch it's waters.
The last Rock lake horror, according 70
tho legend, was in 1858, when a whole
band Of noble red men were sent to the
happy hunting grounds by the monster.

10 Came Jast In Time 60 Make NJ. X. .
Spanish Minister.
The writer Of "Secreta In Spain"
tells in the pages Of The New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime Of Queen Isabella Of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that Of q man who was made
minister for sneezing.
Tho story is ns follows; III, K had
gone one day TO pay casual visit TO
one Of his friendR To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied
Excuse me, said he, "but am very
busy today. But II you have nothing TO
DO come along with me. " 'Where are
you goinRp'' "I have been summoned
to the palace" They set on together.
At the palace ono was conducted to tho
presence Of the queen, while the .ether
waited in the anteroonl. There was q
lengthy sitting in the queens cabinet,
q new ministry being In course Of for
nation.
IL was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow Yery impatient, rs he felt
. cold In tho head coming on. "WhOm

Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit There
was now only the colonial minister
to bo appointed. II must have n colo
nial minister, - said tho queen. "Whom
shall We appoint colonial ministerS" No
one could DO thought Of. All at once q
loud sneeze was heard in the anteroom.
"Who is that sneezing IN the nnteroomF

In large number Of manufacturing
concerns in Massachusetts, tho aftairs
of which are covered by the latest re-
port of tho state bureau of labor status
tics. there were 43, S03 partners or stock
holders in 1898 against AZ, 73b in loyS'
The number of males included in the
total for the latter year was greater,
however, than that which was covered
by the larger figures for 1898. There
were 81, 325 male partners or stockhold-
ers in 1892 and 27, ,2li in 1898. On the
other hand, the number of women VINO
had an interest in the manufactures
dealt with by the report was IL, 09s ID
1898 against 10, 410 in the year preced-
ing. The partners or stockholders were
e3. "a per cent males in 1892 and ~. 60
per cent females In S93 the proportions
were 2s. 3S per cent Of females and 6S'-
10 per cent of males. The change thus
shown to have taken place in one year
is a curious hint Of the tendency OF the
times to place more and moro OF the
property of tho world, and especially OF
the United States, in the possession Oh
women. 1t looks as if the weaker sex,
which must hold it's goods and chattels
in n sense by virtue of the forbearance
of the stronger, were destined to become
the moneyed part of the human family.

Wednesday night, for the benefit of the
hall fund. netted 5000. The hall is
commodious and convenient for such
occasions. A humorous and highly
imaginative eulogy of Salemite by
the "Mayor Of West Salem" caused a
great deal of laughter, and, just as
expected, the humorous address OF the
Salem man did not amount TO much
Mayor Catch. of Salem, was present,
but, as all know, nothing but water
ever passes bet ween him and the mayor
of West Salem. 1t was delightful
social occasion and shows that West
Salem has an increasing population Of
the most desirable class OF plain, good
people.
