mutation found its way into the sea,

posed in great stripes and patches.
WHAT A STABLE COSTS.

Leslie's Weekly says it is perfectly
safe to say that the owner who main
tains a completely appointed stock
farm, another where the yearlings are
handled from June until October, and
which becomes the winter quarters as
soon as the racing season is closed,
and a stable of horses in training be-
sides must win each season $4,000 to
100000 before he has made a profit.
Of course, he has his fun and enjoy
ment of seeing his homebred horses
beat those of other breeders, but most
men like substantial profit as well
as some compensation for the risk
they have assumed. If no crack jockey
is retained, but chances are taken on
securing the services of the free-lance
jockeys, of course a material saving is
effected. Most owners take these
chances because of the uncertainty of
the true racing form of their two-year-
olds, for nothing is so CALLING as to see
your jockey getting his $4,000 or $12,-
900 a year standing on the ground.
with no horses you can give him
mount on.

Kings heart, and his reply is as fol-
lows:
I'VE have reigned during the last
thirty-four years without any goodness
and we have only experienced trouble
and confusion Finally the most hor-
rible calamity has visited US. We
have not been able to rule as we ought.
When our thoughts reach mat point
We are simply worried and the sweat
of shame vets our back. However,
the officials are urging us to assume
the undeserved title; the Ministers are
pressing us in person and the six arm
les and ten thousand citizens are clam
oring at the Palace gates for the same
cause. II we continue our refusal in
the matter it seems that it will never
end. In consideration of the unanimi-
u of the demand we hereby reluctant
ly accept your advice TO please the
multitude. 1t is a great state affair
and we consider that great care must
be exercised in contamination OF the
ceremony in connection with the coro-

SAVED BY PIGS.
They Carry Life Lines Ashore From
Wrecked Steamer.

1 hlCChCu GOICdlucI.
The steamer Kameruka, one of the
best known vessels on the Australian
coast, was wrecked on October 16, and
her passengers and crew were saved,
by sending life lines ashore tied to
pigs, which formed part of her cargo.
The Kameruka was on her way from
Eden to Sydney She was steaming
ahead at full speed in Elm sea with
just light breeze blowing.
The Sydney Herald says that with
fearful smash she struck the rocks
known as Pedro reef, about two miles
and half on the other (southern)
side of Moruya Head. She was bound
into Moruya to pick up passengers and
freight for Sydney. Everybody ex-
cept the officer on watch and men on
duty were naturally in their berths
and awoke in great excitement.
Luckily there was no tremendous sea
running, for, strange TO say, no rockets
were available by which to get a line
from the shore to the ship or vice
versa, and in their absence the live
deck cargo, consisting of pigs, was
happily utilized, some of the animals
with signal halyards made fast to them
swimming ashore, and so establishing
a means of communication which prac-
tically led to the rescue by a travelling
cage of every soul on board the doom
ed steamer.
Captain w o. Hersee, an old master
in the company's service, was in com
mand of the Kameruka on her present
voyage, which appears to have been
special one, made during the over
haul now being given to the regular
trader, the Bega. The Kameruka has
for some time been retained as a re-
serve steamer or emergency boat, so
that it is somewhat in the light of the
irony of fate that the steamer whose
special duty was to fill the breach in
case of accident or detention to any of
the other boats of the fleet should her
self come to grief while so employed
The loss is a considerable one to the
1. S. N. Company, though the vessel is
partially insured in the South British
and Victoria Assurance companies.

There are less than 100 PEOPLE in

city for more than % years. And dur
ing that time it has grown consider

there were less than 45 inhabitants in

1t is the only city of its size, in all
probability, in the world that is in

has been long time since any of them
collected any money, and even the city

3 years. No arrests are made in Fen

squire had case that when the last
magistrate died some years ago it was
not thought worth while to elect his
successor.
There are no politics in Fenton-at
least not in so far as municipal cleo
tons 90. And, for that matter. there
have been no elections for a decade.
There never has been a defalcation

ORIGIN OF TABLE UTENSILS.
Even During the Middle Ages People
Ate With Their Fingers.

i
Ate With Their Fingers.
| Not so very many years ago the
/ FORK was a luxury The Philadelphia
Record says the use of the fork dates
back only to the 18th century. The old
| Greeks. although their civilization was
very much advanced, ate with their
fingers. as gracefully as possible. Plu-
tarch mentions the rules to be follow
ed when eating with the fingers, and
this is one of the most interesting
passages in his description of antique
customs In the Middle Ages, people
still ate with their fingers. It is true
enough that ablutions took place be-
fore and after meal, but, still, that
custom was anything but clean. Each
of the guests at a dinner was first Of
fered a basin and a pitcher of water,
and il was bad form to help ones self
to any of the viands before having
carefully washed hands and face.
Goldsmiths finally invented forks,
but at first they were objects of luxury,
and were used only at times when they
might just as well have been done
without. The first mention of forks is
made in a document dated 1900, which
says that Pierre Galveston, the favorite
Of Edward II, possessed three fur
chestes" forks for eating pears,
cheese and sandwiches. 1t was more
than three hundred years later before
forks were used for fish and meat.
About the second decade of the sew
enteenth century a picture of the Roy
al Prince of France shows that he car
ried a case containing a knife, a spoon
and what looks very much like fork.
Glasses and drinking cups were first
made of wood or tin. In the fifteenth
century Venice manufactured the won
derful glassware, which replaced on
the table of the 'Seigneurs" the heavy
oaken or metal cups formerly used. |
Egg cups were not known previous TO
the ffteentn century, and even in the
sixteenth century they were rather |
scarce and had no distinct name |
They were described as IAN article in |
which TO place and hold an egg" or "a
silver thing TO place an egg in"
Salt cellars also date from the fif- |
tenth century Goldsmiths excelled in |
artistic salt-cellars, and the
one modelled for King Francis l of |
France by Benvenuto Cellini was
wonderful work of art. People in gen
eral did not know the use of salt cell
lars. and even among wealthy famil-
les it was the custom to break piece
Of bread and to place the salt for each
individual upon the bread.

For thoroughly peaceful nation,
says the st. James Gazette, we do our
share of fighting. How many separate
little wars and campaigns has this EN-
pire on hand just now? We are not
quite sure; but at any rate British
troops or British officers are concerned
in military operations in the following
regions: l. The Indian frontier, in
Guiding separate, though allied, cam
paigns in (a) the Chitral-Swat district,
OBJ the Khyber-Peshawur border, (c)
the Tochi Valley. 2. The Soudan. 8.
Matabeleland. 4. Basutoland. 5. Be
chuanaland. 6. Crote. The Temple of
Janus seems unlikely to be closed for
repairs just at present.
