DINING WITH THE PRINCE.
The Hospitality OF hilbert Edward at Marl-
borough House.

The Hospitality OF Albert Edward at Marl-
borough House.
The Prince Of Wales gives in the
course Of the season certain special din
ners at Marlborough House, which in
many essential respects differ from those
which he attends at other peoples
houses. Tho guests do not number more
than 45 people, including the ladies and
gentlemen i'll attendance upon the prince
and princess. When members of the
royal family arrive at Marlborough
House, at the outer gate, the fact is mt
once signaled from tho lodge. so that the
Prince and Princess of Wales are never
taken by surprise, but arc in readiness
to receive them.
The dining room in which the ban
quet is served is Q magniticcntly deco.
rated apartment, with ceiling of white
and gold. On the wall on the left hand
side is great square Of rcd plush to set
off the presentations of plate which have
been made to their royal highnesses dur
ing the recent years. The Prince Of
Wales, as Il host, sits not at the end, but
in the middle scat, at the side Of large
and long table. Table decorations are of
massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. A very high centerpiece is
flied with flowers, and mere blossoms
are placed in tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses.
Probably Marlborough House is the
only place in London in which the
knives and Forks are laid 80 euriously.
To each guest two forks and no more
arc provided, and these are placed prongs
downward, reversing the usual method.
II addition there is one large tablespoon
and one large knife. In 10 circumstance
are two knives permitted upon the table
simultaneously, and for this rule very
strange reason is assigned. His royal
ifighness is very superstitious, and on
no account will he incur the risk of
having knives crossed inadvertently
The wineglas>es are placed, by tie bye,
in Il line as straight as q company Of
soldiers, and the services are simply fold
ed i'll two. Small water bottles are used,
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
in Marlborough Eoase.
Dinner begins at s 40 p. III. and lasts
1OI Cilt anu ltal
service is insisted upon. Yet four or five
walters only are allowed to enter the
dining room, which is, however, some
distance from the kitchen. Celebrity and
dispatch are obtained by the employ
ment of small army of assistants sta
toned behind the scenes.
For dessert royal blue scvres is used,
and when the time has como for coffee
and cigars the custom is once during
the year, and only once-the night of
the Derby tlinner-to hand to each guest
a silver lighter of unique design. No
two lamps are alike, as they have at va
riou5 times been presented by different
donors to tho Prince of Wales. and each
one has its history. -Ladies' Home

LIGHTNING AND RUBeERs.
Wear Goloshes During . Thunderstorn n
You Are Afraid.

The one thing which a woman most
dreads-barring of course, a mouse and
being out Of styles thunder shower.
Many most estimable women, of charac-
ter and force, who can lead great cru
sades and revolutionize society, go all
to pieces at q clap Of thunder, an6 q
good many men, too, for that matter.
1t is not agryeable to be struck by
lightning. Nor is it at all necessary.
There is sure prcventive-as sure az
it is simple, Inexpensive and always ac-
cessiblc--a pair of rubbers. If a woman
will simply put on pair Of rubbers
when,the lightning begins to fash and
the thunder to roar, and will stand on
the floor so that she touches nothing
else, she will BIO as safe as If she were
sealed in glass cage.
Rubber is a nonconductor Of electric
ity, and if the lightning has to go
through sheet of rubber to get at you
it will leave you alone and take some
thing else. In other words, when you
have on a pair of rubbers and are not in
contact with anything, you are perfectly
insulated
This is not a theory merely. It is q
fact proved by innumerable experiences.
A pair of rubbers has saved many q life
in thunderstorm.
Last summer Horace W. Folger Of
Cambridgeport, Mass, was on a pilot
boat in Boston harbor, when thunder
shower came up. He was Oh deck wear
ing rubber boots, but steadying himself
with one hand by wire cable from the
main topmast. lightning struck the top
mast, shiyering it into splinters. Down
the cable went the current. Folger was
knocked unconscious. When he recover
ed, no was full of aches and pains, but
he pulled through. If it had not been
for the rubber boots, the current would
have passed entirely through him. As il
was the current could not get through
his boots, SO it passed down the cable.
1t might be well to add that pair Of
rutbbers to be effective against lightning
must be sound and whole. Do not put
on an old pair with a crack in the too
because electricity will get out of n very
small hole when it is cornered, and a
pair Of defective rubbers will do you nc
good. York Press.

The Sources Of Religion,

The sources of religion lie hid from
rs. All that we know is that now and
again i'll the course of ages some one
sets to music the tune which is haunt
ing millions Of ears. 1t is caught up
here and there AND repeated till the
chorus is thundcrcd ont by a body of
singers able to drown all discords and
to force the unmusical mass to listen to
them. page 332.

and whirling snow. If we stand still,
we shall be frozen to death. If we take
the wrong road, we shall be dashed 10

1t is the failure of our blood filters.
Our blood should be as free from
impurities as drinking water.
Ii it becomes impure we fall sick.
Our kidneys are simply blood
filters. They filter the impurities
out of the blood. That is why it is
SO dangerous to have kidney disease.
because when our kidneys are sick
they cannot keep our blood pure.
Diseases are generally caused by
blood poisoning. Especially those
mentioned above. The poisoning is
caused by impurities in the blood.
These impurities could be kept out

were not worn out, or did not have
too much work to do.

The Newspaper of the Putur..

Mr. Edison has an idea that the
newspaper of the future will be pub
hslied by phonograph. His reason for
this is that the eyesight Of the people is
becoming poorer, time is more precious,
and that newspapers are SO large that
1t is impossible for people to read them
through. !.

opened with brilliant sunshine and un-
usual interest was taken in the chief
event, owing to the uncertainty as to
the result The prevailing sunshine for
the past fortnight made the roads hard
and dry and hundreds of vehicles OF all
sorts and sizes, from the gorgeous drags
of the rich to the donkey carts of the
costermongers and the crowded omni-
buses of the Strand. covered with the
usual placards, rained cloud of dust
all the morning, as they made their way
to Epson Downs. Racing parties We're
leaving the hotels and private houses at
an early hour, and an unbroken series
of special trains were leaving Waterloo
and Victoria stations all the morning.
The weather was hazy in the morning,
but the haze soon cleared away. The
course was hard and dry and the condi-
tions generally were favorable to an
enjoyable day for the people, if not for
the horses.
Lord Rosebery entertained a large
party of friends at Durdans and after
ward drove to the race course.
The Salvation Army brigade arrived at
EPSON this morning and pitched large
tent, from which they handed out tracts
and leaflets announcing that they would
pursue an anti-sin campaign between the
races, remaining over night to resume
their labors on the occasion OF the oaks
