naked. Those who made their way to

Washington, ID. c., March 14.-Dis-
patches from Key West say that all
the ships of the White squadron there
are busily engaged In taking on coal
and other supplies and otherwise pre-
pairing for an emergency. In addition
to the Iowa. which will pay a short
friendly visit to Havana to take away
Captain Sampson. another representa-
tive Of the American navy Ia expected
to pay a similar visit soon. Captain
Sigsbee has requested the Navy De-
partment that when he shall conclude
his work there. the department shall
send battleship to take him and the
officers remaining with him away.
The request probably will be compiled
with and 1t is believed the Massachu-
setts or the New York will be sent.
A new and interesting Significance
Is given to-day in orders for the Unit
ed States gunboats Helena and Ban
croft, now attached TO the European
squadron at Lisbon. to proceed to Key
West. These orders are connected
with the movements of the torpedo
aotilla Of Spain that is about to leave
Cadix.
1t is said that the Helena and Ban
croft are to watch this torpedo fotilla
of Spain's across the Atlantic and into
Havana harbor. II 1t heads north

There is an old story about some
facetious students making a remark
able-looking insect by gluing together
parts OF various creatures. and then
taking IT to their professor and asking
him what kind Of bug that was. The
man OF science glanced at It and
promptly classified 1t as humbus.
The professor would have need to ex-
ercise all his wits II he were living In
these days, for young biologist has
succeeded in grating living moths
piece upon piece in ways that have
produced the most astonishing results
In his juggling with anatomical sub
jects he has created two-headed but

The Worlds correspondent learns on

Society. A form Of amusement to
which King Pepin was partial vas
what were termed cours plenisrss.
These we're emblies at which, upon
the kings invitation. all the lords and
courtiers Of France were expected to
be present. They were held twice each
year-at Christmas and Easter-ana
generally lasted for about q week at
each time. Sometimes these gathse-
inss took place at the kings palace,
sometimes in the neighborhood OF one
Of the larger French cities and some
times In some rural district, while the
festival lasted the king took all his
meals in public, bishops and dukes
alone being privileged to sit At the
royal table. A second table was pro-
vided for abbots, counts and other
leading men, and at both tables there
was shown more profusion thsn deli
cacy. both in the quality of the meats
and drinks and the manner in which
they were served. Flutes. hautboys
and other musical instruments were
played before the bearers OF each
course as 1t WAS removed from the Ia
bles. When dessert was served, twen-
ty 'heralds. each holding aloft jew
eled goblet. shouted thrice, "Largesss,
largesse from the most potent Of
kings: As they shouted they scat
tered among the crowds handfuls Of
gold and silver coins. Then the trum-
pets were blown, while the better
class of spectators shouted and the
meaner sort scrambled and often
fought vigorously for the money scat
tered by the heralds. Charles VII. Of
France put final stop to the cours
plenieres. alleging that the expense at
tendant upon his wars with England
made 1t impossible for him to continue
them. One of the severest causes Of
expense, 1t was explained, arose from
the fact that. beginning with King
Pepin's time. etiquette and custom
alike demanded that the king should
upon these occasions give an entire
suit OF new and gorgeous clothing not
only to his own servants and retainsrs.
but also to those of the queen and
all the princes of the blood royal.
These garments were said to be livrss
that is, delivered" at the kings q.

word Livery" was derived. as was the
custom of providing servants with ''liv-

tice of certain of the French kings.
