THE ROYAL WAY.
High-BOrn DANES Carry Their Ow1
Bedding on Their Travels.

HiEh-BOrn DANES Carry Their Own
Bedding ON Their Travels.
Few royal folks when travelling re-
quire their bedsteads and bedroom fur
niture to form Il portion of their lug
gage. as the queen does, for instance.
But many great ladies there are who
carry their own beds and bed linen,
blankets and quilts, and always a
macintosh sheet to spread over the
mattress to guard against dampness for
lack of sufficient airing in transit
from place to place. Grand Duke Paul
of Russia. it is true, is always,
when travelling, accompanied by bed
stead, which he has had built in Sec
tions. and which is put up by special
mechanic, under the superintendent of
the royal valet, wherever the grand
duke goes, but then It'll simply because
he can seldom, owing to his great
height, meet with one long enough for
his comfort, says the Philadelphia Press.
1t does not appear to be generally
known that among the servants of the
queen are two bearing the title of her
maiesty's tapissiers. One of them fol-
lows the court wherever it may be,
and the other remains permanently at
Windsor. The duty of these function
aries is to superintend the packing of
the queens baggage when the court
migrates, and tllsir work is so perfectly
organized that every member of the
establishment concerned knows almost
to a minute when he or she must be
ready to receive visit from the packer.
1t is also the duty of the tapissiers to
maintain communication from palace to
palace with reference to all matters
which cannot be brought within the
limits of the royal mail boxes; to know
by heart all railway and steamship
routes, and to be able to convey any
desired article from one place to an
other by the swiftest and safest method

MOVING A BRICK CHIMNEY.
Carried Nearly "A Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.

Carried Nearly n Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.
The moving of an ordinary brick
building has always been consid-
cred feat of more than passing inter-
est, but the transportation of a brick
chimney without accident or damage,
over a considerable stretch of uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhanset. Shelter Island, Suffolk coun-
ty, N. Y.
The chimney, says the Scientific
American, is,s5 feet high and seven feet
square at the base, with outer and in
ner walls eight inches thick and weighs
nearly 100 tons. 1t was moved about
$50 feet over very rough ground and
quite grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two skids creased on
the under side and sliding on CREASED
blocks. The purchase used was grain
capstan, and one horse at $50 fold. and
the time occupied in loading and NOV
ing was only nine days, with the labor
of only four men. The chimney was
placed on it's new foundation without a
particle of harm. This is the second
chimney of the above description moved
by the same contractors. The first one
was SO feet high, at Bridgehampton,
and in both cases the work was COM
pleted without accident.

rren.ure In an Old Ark.

A great deal is heard of hidden treas
ure, but very little is ever found. A
California man is one of the few lucky
ones. Last September an old fisher
man hermit was found dead in his ark,
in a steamer near San Jose. The cor
oner held an inquest, and the ark was
sold at auction for $3.50. Not long aft
erward the purchaser blossomed out in
new clothes, and took trip east. His
friends became inquisitive. and finally
the man confessed that he had fo end
hidden in the ark. in notes and DIN.
more than $4,000. Now people recall
that the old fisherman once had $4,000
in bank. and the man who thought he
was SO lucky is being sued by the her
mit's relatives to recover the money.

METAMoRPHosIs OF A PLANT.

POntedria Accommodates Itself to
Repeatedly Changed Quarters.
A curious incident of the power of
plants to adapt themselves to circum-
stances came under my notice recently
in the shape of a pontedria crassipes,
Last fall, says a writer in Meehan's
Monthly, obtained slip of poutedria,
which l placed in bowl in my sitting
room window. By spring it was a
thrifty plant, with beautiful waxen
leaves. When it was time to set my
plant out of doors looked about for
something in which to place my lily.
For want of something better put it
in an old dinner boiler of generous pro-
portions. By midsummer it had out
grown the boiler. Again looked about,
and this time 1 found crock, quite
deep, but not very wide. divided my
plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter l
kept thinned out by giving slips to
friends; the other plant was left to
grow at it's own sweet will, and, being
a thrifty plant, very much bent on
growing, and finding it could not spread
according to its natural mode, it
changed it's tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end of each
grew a very large leaf twice the size
of an ordinary leaf. And here 1 would
like to ay'that, as house plant, there
is nothing more attractive than a
healthy pontedria, with its CLASSY, wax
en- leaves, and. moreover, it requires so
little attention. merely keeping it re-
plenished with water.

RINGING DOOR BELLS.
Pastime That Seems to Be Disap-

Pastime That Seems to Be Dtsap-
pearinG from the Sports of Youth.
I'm the days when knockers graced
the house door," said Mr.. Stoggleton,
reports the New York Sun, 'the
small boy found sport in banging
the knocker and running. When bells
came in he yanked on the bell pull and
then fled. Nowadays he mysteriously
presses the button; but the sport of
calling people to the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it seems prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, it will finally fall
into decadence.
"There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocker, whose thunder
reverberated through the hall and filed
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yank the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this. But there is no such fun in
pushing in a push button. You can
press that in perhaps a quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it.
Say you are in the vestibule of fiat.
Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; it may be that it is up three or
four flights of stairs; you hear no sound.
Nobody comes to the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press button
up there in the air somewhere and you
may hear the click of the door-opener
at your side, or they may not do even
that.
"It is dry fun; not like the old slam
bang knocker on the outside of the door
or the bell pull with the jingle bell right
in the hall -

NATURAL COKE.
1t Is Claimed There Is n Deposit of II
in the State of Utah.

rs u DepOSlI Oh I
in the State of Utah.
In works of mineralogy it is learned
that there is such a product as natural
coke, but so far as known there has
but one deposit of this commodity been
found in the United States, and this was
in the vicinity of Richmond, Va.
Although the deposits of coal in Utah
are immense in their proportions, it was
never dreamed that among its commodi-
ties of trade and commerce the state
could boast of beds of this natural coke,
but such is the case, however, and the
Salt Lake Herald is informed that a
short time ago vein of this coke had
been discovered in a section of the coun-
try about 140 miles south of this city,
and within Is miles of railroad.
This deposit crops out on the surface
for some distance, and 25 to 30-foot
tunnel has disclosed body of coke that
is all of five feet in width, and there IS
every reason to believe that with depth
the size of this deposit will increase.
In quality the coke is all that could be
desired, and at the assay offices at which
it has been tested the statement is made
that it is a pure article, and that it is
even superior to the manufactured coke,
as it is entirely free from sulphur, btu
men, and that it gives out no smoke
when burned, and makes less ash than
the manufactured article.
The new find, which is considered as
being among the most valuable that has
been made in the state. is owned and
controlled by ex-Mayor R. n. Baskin
and several other Salt Lake gentlemen,
who have located GAO acres in the imme-
diate vicinity of the discovery.
