THE SPORT OF KINGS.
They Were Too Much for the Shippers
 Sentative of the Tradition.

Sentative of the Tradition.
 Hunting used to be called the sport of kings, but not many of the m ern crowned heads keep up the old tradi- tion. The Czar of Russia occasionally assists at battue, but the thing bores him and he goes only out of pelitenes3. The prince of Wales is 8 very good shot and is fond of saooting, but his biggame days are over. The emp8roF of Germany hunts and shoots god deal, but those who know him beSt say he does not much care for the sport. With him it is a matter of tradition the right thing for a royal parsonage to do. The king of Portugal who hold3 the record for fatness among all tho royalties, is physically disabled from such violent exercise. The king of Sweden never touches a gun. The sul- tan of Turlzay cannot bear to see one, says the New York Commercial Adyer- tiser. The king of the Belgians has shot only once in his whole life, and then in a very unkingly fashion. He wanted to have the sensation Of killing without theltrouble Of going in search of the game So he sat in his arm chair and potted at a lot of rabbits let lose from bag in front of him. When the smoke cleared away and his majesty called for his bag he had to be told that all that had been found was one tail and a certain small quantity of fluff. He never went shooting again. The king of Italy Is the only real represen- tative of the old kingly tradition. He is mighty hunter and frequently throws up all the routine work without | word of warning, and goes off with one officer Col. Pazzimbolini, to spend several weeks in pursuit of the game of all kinds with which the mountains abound. Formerly he established no means of communication with Rome. Neither Queen Margherita nor any Of his ministers ever knew where 10 find him for weeks at time. He might nave lost his throne In sudden up heaval and known nothing of it till he descended to the plains. Of late, however, he has become wiser. Now carrier leaves Rome every second day during his expeditions, bringing re- ports of all that happens.

H4 stra wberries.

Frankford has ane interesting curios- 'ty in the form of 3 strawberry plant bearing twelve good-sized berries. which may be seen in the window of Mrs. J. M. Fredericks' residence, 4344 Paul street. The plant was taken from the yard in the fall and placed in a flower pot. No great care was taken Of it or attention paid to it until re- gently, when twelve blossoms appeared. The berries followed in due time and look especially tempting in this wintry weather, when strawberries are a de- eided luxury Philadelphia Record.

ORIGIN OF THE SLED.
Seems to Have Come from Country
 Where Snow Is Unknown.

Dr. Karutz, an original scholar of Lubeek, has just completed some val nable investigations relative to the in- vention of the sled. After long study he comes to the conclusion that prim- tive man probably arrived at the idea
 sled from seeing trees slip and ss lGWn the mountains. In Madeira, fo. Instance, where there is never any ST ~. sleds drawn by oxen are used just as they are in the Philippines It is a development from the idea of man dragging burden along the ground, when it was too heavy for him to lift it up and carry it. He at first hitehed his dog to the deer that he had just killed and both dragged it toward the cave or hut in which they lived. When he saw logs slide down the mountain side the idea of using smooth logs that would slide over the ground easily when drawn by himself or one of his animals was the next step in the development of the sled, Primitive peoples like the Malays of the Philippines, and the unprogres- sive peasants of Madeira, still use the sleds invented by their ancestors thou- sands of years ago. In countries where ice and snow are found it is probable that the very fact of a man slipping on the ice showed some inventive per- son that there was an easy way to carry what he wanted to transfer from one place to another, and so first pull ing branch along over the frozen snow instead of carrying it, he thought of putting other things on the branch, he trimmed off the twigs and leaves that caught in the stamps and other trees, and the beginning of the sled had come. The joining together of two logs, and shaping them were only steps in the perfection of the earliest method of transportation which antedated the intention of wheeled vehicles by many eeaturies.-Detroit Free Press.

English womsn Play Solitaire.

Ladies of the royal court of England, from the queen down, are playing the old-time game of patience" known as solitaire in this country. Every spare minute is taken up with one or the other Of the hundred varieties of the game. Patience boards, enabling one to play the game on the knees, are covered with colored satin, embroidered with various suits of the cards. Pock- cts are arranged for the pack, and a book of directions accompanies each board. The board enables the player to step a game at any point and return io it later without losing her place. But it is doubtful if the fad will take in this country. It requires vivid imagination to coniure up such spectacle as roomful of American women playing solitaire.

Haunts oe the Thieves Where Crime
 Is Bred.
 The haunts of the beggars of Naples are also usually the haunts of thieves kept by some woman, who trades on the vice and misery of her fellow-erea- lures. says the Gentleman's Magazine. There the miserable wretehes sleep by night and assemble by day, teaching children to pick pockets and beg. Thence every morning the blind, the lame and the aged set forth on their rounds in the city. A false monk sets out to visit certain families and shops On certain days, giving numbers fo. the lottery and receiving aims. An old woman departs with her pocket full of sWeetmeats. with which she decoys little children into some deserted #c2r- her and robs them of earrings or artl> cles of clothing. Others rob the aims boxes hung up in churches or in front of shrines on the roads. These kneel before the images in fictitious devotion, beating their breasts with one hand, W dI1S NIlh tuS CluO4 lAGg bSI A0A l1O money with a thin stick smeared with bird-lime, which they insert in the small oval aperture of the box, draw ing out the coins one at time. One member of the criminal class, got up as a gentleman of fortune, used to frequent the public billiard saloons, where he soon made friendships with the aristoeratic players, attracting them with his charming, ingenious smile, bright blue eyes, and delightful tenor voice, and was often even in- vited to his friends houses and intro duced to their families. He was no thief, his business was to inform his criminal associates of the financial state of the families he visited. thus enabling them to make plots of rob- bery Cf gambling.

FEEL EARTHQUAKE COMING
Animals Seem to Have Sixth sen~s
 Few People Possess.

When in December, woman refus- ed to remain more than one night at Amalfi, saying she was sure that the earth was moving, and when next day the landslip occurred, it was said, Here. at all events, one human being with the premonitory sense of earth- quakes, with which most animals ap- pear to be endued." l have been told of instance after instance of horses, dogs, a monkey, and even ducks, who showed unmistakable signs of panic for a day, two days, and even longer, be- fore the last great earthquake in the Riviera. Only to name a few: A wom- an at Nice remarked the miserable con- dition of the horse she usually drove, and told her coachman to take him home and order a brougham from the livery stables for her. The hired horse was as timid, and seemed as weak, as her own. The driver said all the an- imals were of their feet" A mon- key, two tame ducks and other pets, at villa near Villefranehe, on the Shrove Tnesday-the day before the shock which destroyed so much life and property-refusea to enter the house, where they were generally very happy. They were all spiritless. dull and scared. A little white lap dog. who sat on the wide arm of his mass terss chair at meals, and was the most sociable of pets at all other times, re- fused also to "come home to roost. ," Other dogs also evinced an unWented terror of being under a roof. Cattle belonging to the dafries supplying the winter resorts sickened and seemed terror-strieken-the quantity and qual- ity of the milk suffering considerably The woman of Amalf is thought to owe her presentiment to hypersensi= tiveness= Of nerves, which gave her a share of this sixth sense" which the animals possess.-London News.

Russian Dinners.

The etiquette of a Russian dinner is decidedly formal When the guests are seated, the host and hostess of the feast remain standing, it being their pleasure to attend upon the company and to see that the servants do their duty. Nothing can escape their ob, sersation; the plate of no guest re- mains empty for moment, nor is q wine glass ever without contents. French wines are mostly drunk at Russian dinners. Madeira is also a favorite, and bottle of port is always served to an English guest. At her own time the hostess gives the signal, and all rise from the table.

roEoooANINc IN CANADA.
4 Winter Sport That Is Greatly En-
 joyed by All Classes.

Tobogganing is one of the staple amusements, in Canada. Sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed "chutes'' down the side of hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden erections with the planes fixed at an angle of 45 de- grees, and with sheer drop of about 100 feet. Water is poured over the wooded declivity, which in the frosty air is soon transformed into ice, with surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight a direction as possible, though in some cases not particularly level, but the momentum gained by the tebeggan ID flying down the chute is sufficient 10 carry it over any slight uprisings in the ground. The Canadian toboggan is light, strong article, about five or six feet in length, and about 20 inches in width, composed of a number of mar row wooden strips secured longitudf- nally together, curling upward at the front A handrai1 sometimes extends along each side of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on. but the general rale is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front. the whole row Of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or. six oc= eupants in one toboggan, and with such a combined weight the sledge flies down the chute as if impelled from 3 cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto5 for the fun is fast and furious When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies prone upon it, and in this manner, on account of the small amount, of re- sistance that is offered by the atmos- phere. the maximum of speed is gained. The ehutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog gan is not permitted to leave the sum-
 nit of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally. by some mischance in cured through faulty manipulation of the toboggan, a spill occurs on the ehute.and if a following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite a-s dis astrous and terrible as a collision be- tween express trains
