BARONIAL PARKS.
The Extent of Some Which Surround the

The Extent Of Some Which Surround the
Houses Of English Noblemen.
An article in The Cornhill Magazine
on the cost of maintaining country
houses contains some extremely inter
esting particulars about the size Of
noblemen's parks. One hardly likes,
the writer says, to guess the cost of re-
pairs to the loose stone wall around
Badminton park, high enough to pre-
vent deer leaping it and inclosing 986
deer At Welbeck there are 1917 miles
of iron fencing around the three deer
parks. Thoresby park is 10 miles
around.
Though the deer have been removed
or destroyed in no less than 80 parks
since 1867 there are 404 deer parks and
paddocks in England and Wales alone,
and of these are over 1900 acres.
Savernake is a, 900 acres. There are
many over 1000 acres. The area has
an additional interest fer the owner,
because the bigger the park the more
gates and lodges and roads it needs,
and park roads, except town roads, are
the dearest in this country.
In parks like Fridge, with 2,500
acres; Knowsley, 1900 acres; Blen-
helm, 2,254 acres; Tatton, 1900 acres,
and others of less size, the mileage of
roads, unless their numbers were kept
down, would rival those of q moderate
parish.
The lowest number by which great
house and its garden parks and acces-
sories can be served and kept up is from
80 to 60 men. Of these great houses
there are not less than 900 in England,
Wales and Scotland. Those of the third
magnitude have minimum staff of 30
men. Those of the second magnitude,
some of them very large and splendid
houses, almost or quite reaching the
first dimensions, employ from 80 to $50
Or ITO men. Beyond these are the stars
of the first magnitude, real palaces,

Perverted Judgment.

The cause of wrong taste is de-
feet of Judgment. And this may arise
from natural weakness Of understand
ing lin whatever the strength of that
faculty may consist), or, which is much
more commonly the case, it may arise
from want Of a proper and well di-
rected exercise, which alone can make
It strong and ready. Besides, that ig-
norance, inattention, prejudice, RASH
ness, levity, obstinacy short, all
those passions and all those vices which
pervert the Judgment in other matters,
prejudice it no less in this its more re-
fined and elegant province. Burke.

RECALLED BY TELEGRAPHE
Attraction OF Scene In d Play Suggests
a Story.

Attraction OF Scene In Play Suggestl
Story.
When "Secret Service" was first pro
auced in New York, the audiences for
the first week or two included large
number of telegraph operators, attracted
by the vivid description given OF the
scene in which Gillette sends the mes
sage and is shot through the hand. In
terest in this part of the play waned
slightly, SO far as the knights of the
kew were concerned, when it was found
that the telegraphing, while it sounded
very real to the uninitiated, was nothing
but succession of meaningless clicks
Why it was expected that there should
be real telegraphing any more than
there should be real killing on the stage
was explained by an old operator re-
Gently. ''There fingers in the mind OF
all the older men in the business, said
he, stthe memory of the telegraphing
scene in Oliver Doud Byron's play,
Across tie Continent, in which gen.
uine operator was substituted for the
actor long enough to tick out welcome
to any member of the profession who
might be in the audience. 1t was at
Mrs. John Drew's old Arch Street thea
ter in philadelphia, about 10 years ago.
Every plight the man on the stage would
spell out: Good evening, boys! If you
are all t>eling we'll, rap out an answer
on the iren support Of the seat in front
of you. All together, now-one, two,
three. Go!'
''The rest of the audience were be-
wildered by the ticking all over the
house, and it was great fun for the boys
and shrewd move on the part of the
management, for it attracted telegrst-
piers in great force. They enjoyed the
puzzled expression Of the people, who
couldn't understand the unanimity Of
the answer from the gallery, orchestra
and lobby. Of course the talk between
the stage and the house was not con-
fined to this salutrtion. 1t was on all
sorts of Sopics, usually in the form of
an interrogation, with a request for
simultaneous answer The story has
been told to the younger men, and
whenever play is produced in which
a telegraph key figures they like to see
# the experience will be repeated. -

The Leper and the Flagstone.

One of the principal legends connect
ed with ST. Patrick's altar stone, ac-
cording to writer in Donahoe's Maga-
zine, is called the Legend of the Lepe1
and the Flagstone. This story runs as
follows: When st. Patrick was embark
ing for Ireland to enter upon his mis-
sion, a poor leper came to the seashore
just as the ship was about to weigh
anchor and earnestly begged to be taken
on board 1t is probable that he had
heard something of the holiness of the
saint and the proofs of divine favor con-
ferred upon him, and that deep within
his inner consciousness there was born
hcpe: vague at first, but gradually
growing stronger, that in the company
of St. Patrick he might expect some
amelioration of his pitiable condition.
Something in the man appealed to the
saint, who was so deeply touched by
his pleadings that he expressed wish
to have the despised leper taken on
board, but fear and prejudice had such
an influence over the sailors that they
would not allow the leper on board, and
ouo oAlp peSdu W LhoFo ouo WuliO tHO
afflicted man continued to plead from
the beach. The saint took his altar
stone and cast it Oh the water within
reach of the leper, telling him to sit on
it and remain perfectly quiet. Again
was the faith Of the man shown, and
as soon as he had seated himself the
stone began to move over the water. It
followed Immediately in the wake Of
the ship until it reached the harbor Of
Wicklow, and the leper thus reached
the shores of Erin in safety. St. Patrick
again took possession of the stone.

RECEIVED BY
TIE QUEEN.
A Special Audience Given Stu
dents Of Seminary
Her Majesty Was Presented With
the School Pin-An Honorary
Member of the College.

The students OF the National
Park Seminary, Of Forest Glen, were
given special audience yesterday
afternoon (Feb. 9Th from A to 5
o'clock by Queen Liliuokalani, in
the banquet hall of the Shoreham.
There were about 100 guests in the
group, including the teachers and
students, and number OF pupils
from Mrs. Sommers school.
When the presentations had been
made by Miss F. Page Robinson,
the chief preceptress OF the seminary
the Queen seated herself in an arm
chair, with her attendants beside
her, while the students, standing at
the lower end OF the hall, sang a
program of Southern melodies, har-
monized for female voices, and
directed by Madam Kaspar, musical
directress of the school Miss Annie
Louise Reinhardt played one Of
Paderewski's melodies with clever
effect, and Miss Falcon sang my
Old Kentucky Home" with chorus
by the class, assisted by Madam
Kaspar.
Miss Zaluma Archer presented
the Queen with the school pin and
ribbon, and Miss Jessie Harvey gave
her, with the compliments OF the
students, huge cluster OF white
carnations-the school hower-tied
with the ribbons OF Hawaii. When
the green aud white enameled pin
had been fastened, with the green and
white bows on Her Majesty's breast
thereby making her an honorary

OF her stay in Washington Wash

The Hawaiian Legation Attaches
But Little Importance to Her
Action.
Special Dispatch to the Chronicle |

New York, Feb. 12.-The Suns
Washington special says: The
authorized announcement that Lii
liuokalani, ex-Queeu OF the Hawai-
ian Islands, has formally repudiated
her alleged letter OF abdication
dated January "A, 1895, and claims
to be still Queen, caused something
of stir in Washington political
circles. 1t is known to have caused
profound agitation at the White
House. The ex-Queen Endorses every
word Of the statement given to the
Sun, by her secretary, Mr.. Palmer.
Palmer says that the reputation OF
the letter OF abdication is nothing
new; that it is only formal an
nouucement Of what has all along
been claimed by the ex-Queeu and
her Royalist supporters.
At the Hawaiian Legation much
interest is manifested in Liliuoka-
lani's pronuncamento, but little i'm
port ance is attached to it for the
reason that the Dole administration
has never regarded the letter Of alb.
dication as having any force. 1t
was not written until nearly two
years after the Queen had been de-
throned, and as the revolution was
the work Of the Hawaiian people
themselves it made no difference to
the Dole Government whether the
Queen formally assented to her alb.
dication or not. The general opinion
in Washington is, however, that the
Queens purpose in placing on re
cord at this time her reputation
of the alleged letter of abdication
is to give her a proper legal stand
ing in a claim for the reopening OF
her case through the good Offices
of the Government, What her next
step will be is not known, but her
effort to enlist the outgoing or in.
coming Administration in behalf oil
whatever demand for redress she
may make will be watched with
keen interest.
