A Rival for Prince Harold.
From the New York Tribune

Queen Wilhemina of Holland has a new
sutton in the person of Prince William OF
Wied, just twenty-one years Old, who is al
the present moment a lieutenant of the
magnificent cavalry regiment of Gardes ca
Corps at Potsdam, in the splendid uniform
OF which he looks SO handsome and dash
ing that he has become serious rival to
Prince Harold of Denmark in the Sraces
q; Queen Wilhelmina. Indeed, there seems
to be an impression in Dutch court circles
that he has succeeded in cutting Prince
Harold out, and that he is destined to be-
come the king ccnsort of the Netherlands
when Wilhelmina attains her majority next
wear AS far as money is concerned, he Is
badly off, being merely one of the younger
sons of probably the poorest Of the media
tized families of Germany.

THE HEALTHY PALATE.
Il Does Not Crave Condiments, but tn
Food Must Possess Flavor.


It Does Not Crave Condiments. but the
Food Must Possess Flavor.
While perfectly sound and healthy
palate does not crave for condiments,
even prefers to do without them, yet
the majority of digestions require to be
humored and kept in order, and their
peculiarities must be studied. DIR Brun-
ton says:
.eSavory food causes the digestive
Juices to be freely secreted. Well cooked
and palatable food is therefore more d.
gestible than the unpalatable. Ii food
lacks SAVIOR, desire naturally arises to
supply it by condiments, not always
well selected or wholesome.
AS commerce brought them within
reach of the people condiments, in SIM
pie or complicated forms, came greatly
into favor, and foreign spices were add
ed to the wild herbal growths OF the
fields and hedges. In our early history
the 'spicery' was special department
| Of the court and had its proper officers
In the fourteenth century spices wer'
both costly and rare, most OF them com

many by name-canella, macys, Glove
(cloves), grains of paradise, nutmegs
caraway and splkenard. The ancients
especially the Greeks and Romans i
the luxurious period of their history
used condiments very freely.
An old English historian, referrln
to the earlier Roman court, says, TT
best magistrates of Rome allowed bt
! the ninth day for the city and public
business, the rest for the country al

seem as though the education OF tas
was accounted of some consequence

QUEER LAKE sALAwlk.
las Waters Grow Warm In Winter. and
Men Can Fish There with Clubs.

The rich placers Of Klondike are not
the only curiosity Of the country travers-
ed by the Yukon Not far from Dawson
there is in Alaska really extraordina-
~ lake which was named Salawik by
ITS discoverer, the Rev p. Tosi, mis-
sionary among the sayages
This lake. which is 90 miles long and
about 10 miles wide, is perhaps the on
" one in all that extreme northern re-
gion which does not freeze over during
the winter. No communication has been
discovered between it and the sea, new
ertheless at high water upon the coasts
of the northern ocean the level of the
lake rises, and il falls again at low tide
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawik
a salt lake On the contrary, its waters
are good TO drink But another Of its
peculiarities is that its temperature rises
in winter and falls in summer. When
all the water courses Of the neighboring
country are completely frozen over,
Lake Salawik becomes so warm that it
is really pleasant TO bathe in it. On the
other hand, in the summer time the
water is extremely cold
This popularity makes it in the win
ter time Mecca of fishermen The
abundance of fish in the lake is so great
that a person can almost catch then
with the hand and can kill large guam
titles with club Here for the miner
is a source of food supply which the,
had not counted upon and which Ger
tainly will contribute TO diminish tn
cost of living, especially during tn
winter, in that inhospitable region. L
