Some Royal Presents.

Queen Mary, popularly known As "Bloody Mary" has not been pleasant ly drawn for us by history, but certain records of the time when she was @ young princess, occupying the danger ods position of doubtful heir to the throne of England. indicate that she was not without human kindness. MT. Rich ard Davey, in his history of Mary Tu- dor, quotes from the princess "privy purse expenses Mary had been forbid den to call the Princess Elizabeth by any title. but it is pleasant to note that she refers to her affectionately as "my little sister. !"
 She sends her brother, afterward Ed ward VI, frock which she had em- broidered for him and gave her sister Elizabeth cramoisie satin kirtle. Again, she sends a box with silver needlework in it for her Sister Eliza beth, and also worked d cap for her baby brother and made his nurse, Mother Jackson" present of a bon net and frontlets which cost 20 shil- lings.
 Most singular among the gifts of the period, however, is that presented by Lady Lisle to Duke Philip of Bavaria after the duke had visited Lord Lisle at Calais.
 My lord, ." she writes to her spouse from Calais after Lisle and Duke Philip had set out for England, II send you my toothpicker. I thought to have given it to the duke while he was here, but it was not then at my hand. send it to him because when he was here did see him wear a pin to pick his teeth withal. And pray you to show him that it has been mine these seven years.
 A proprietorship in a toothpick of seven years date would hardly be a rec ommendation nowadays

She Knew the Town.


 Judge Nathan Goff of West Virginia has sister famous all through the state for her remarkable brilliancy of mind and broad culture. Miss Golf possesses that rare quality of being able to appre- ciAte a joke at her own expense.
 The family home of the Goffs is in Clarksburg, a struggling city in the mountains of West Virginia not espe- oially noted for anything except its muddy streets in winter.
 Miss Golf is a frequent visitor to New York. and on one occasion she attended Q reception at the house of prominent bishop, given in honor of clergyman who had recently accepted a charge in New York. It fell to Miss Goff's lot to entertain another equally prominent bishop whose diocese is one of the New England states and who grew enthusi- astic in talking about the guest of hon. or. He dilated at length on his learning and oratory and closed his eulogiun by saying:
 "And you know, Miss Golf, the most remarkable thing about our friend is that he comes from a miserable little mudhole in West Virginia. Let me see. It is called''-and the bishop hesitated, trying to recall the place-'it is some place with burg. " the bishop finally added.
 "Oh, yes. '" said Miss Golf; "Clarks- burgl live in that mudhole. "-Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune.

stop the contest. Any second or out
slider who tries to enter the ring during
the contest will be Immediately placed

The men will box under Queensberry
rules, with the exception that they will
not be permitted to hit in clinches or

with Jim Corbett, who wished him luck
in the fight, and announced his inten-
ton of going to the Pacific Coast to
fight Jeffries. Corbett afterward sent

MIA saying:
Il will take on Jeffries. Match me
to meet him in February"
