IS A DEATH TRAP.


n Novel Plan of Protection to the
City of Halifax.
From the New York Mail and Express
1t is probably not generally known out
side of the English officers in command of
the station that Georges Island, in Hail.
fax harbor. is huge pit filled with water,
and that If an attacking party succeeded
in passing the forts at the entrance to the
harbor and landed they would be precipi-
tated into the water and drowned The
surface of the ground is sodded and planted
with shrubbery. and is apparently solid,
but the only really solid part of 1t is a
narrow board walk on which the sentries
pace to and fro. In case an invading party
tcck the island for the purpose of COM
manding the city of Halifax they would
break through and fall into the pit about
hfteen feet below the surface The exca-
walton was made about sixty years ago
and the secret was kept for not less tina n
thirty years.
1t was not until 1867 that the discovery
was made by two men in boat. driven
ashore In gale. One of them ATTEMPTED
to make his way to the dwelling occunied
by the garrison and suddenly dIsappea red

American Team at BisIey.
Apropos of the recent editorial sugges-
ton in The Star that team of American
riflemen cross the Atlantic and engage in
an international rifle match at Bisley, Ma
jor George H. Harries, inspector general
of rifle practice. in discussing the matter
with Star reporter said:
Two years ago I was in correspondence
with number Of EnglandS crack shots
in regard to a proposition to take an Amer
lean team to Bisley. That correspondence
was the outcome Of an informal conference
at Sea Girt. at which were present the
team captains from several states. No
action was then taken because of the pre-
vailing hard times. as 1t would have been
necessary to raise $4,000 to pay the ex-
enins the proposition may amount to some
thing. l am going to Sea Girt in Septem-
Der to talk over this very thing with Cen
eraI Spencer and others.
eff it should be decided to go ahead with
the project the plan would be to notify the
adjutant general of every state in the
Union that the formation of national
rifle team was contemplated. Each state
would be invited to send not more than
five men to compete for places. the team to
consist of twelve principals and four alter
mates. The competition would probably
extend over about week or ten days and
would take place at Sea Girt. The team
would be selected Immediately after the
close of the competition. would practice
at Sea Girt for. probably two weeks and
would then proceed across the ocean.

From the Youths Companion.
NJ. Challemel-Lacour, a distinguished
member of the French Academy, who died
lately, was noted for his tact and readi-
ness ir social emergencies. Both were Sc
verely tried upon one occasion. NJ. ChaI-
lemel-Lacour was sent ambassador from
France to the Swiss confederation. He
called in due form on his arrival on the
president. The servant who opened the
door said that his excellency was in the
cellar bottling wine, but that the visitor
should come in and wait. The ambassador
hung up his overcoat in the hall and went
into the parlor. Presently the Swiss ruler

OF all the qualities once essential to a
sovereign. the one most useful now is tact.
Queen Margherita of Italy, who belongs to
a house trained to kingcraft for more than
a thousand years, is said to be wonderfully
skillful in dealing with social difficulties.
An incident which occurred at one of her
drawing rooms illustrates her readiness and
delicacy.
The persons who are to be presented at the
Roman court are arranged in large semi
circle in the throne room. The queen en-
tiers and passes around the line attended
by a chamberlain, who names each person,
adding usually a word or two to give the
queen some idea Of their claim to notice.
She asks a question or makes remark to
each and passes on.
On this occasion there was in the line a
young man from South America. whose
embarrassment showed itself in pale cheeks
and terrified glances as the queen drew
nearer. At last she reached him and
stopped. He heard his name. saw her smile.
There was roaring in his eyes; his knees
shook Every eye was bent upon him with
amused interest, his terror was SO per-
ceptib1e.
'From Brazil?' she asked, ''and what
town in Brazil is your home. Signor?'
"I-your majesty don't know" he
gasped.
The whole circle smiled. but the quen's
face was as calm as marble. You mean
that our beautiful Italy already has made
you forget your home? All, sfgnor, you
are skillful courtier! You hatter us too
