London Has Forbidden Gates.

There are two gates in London which
it is an honor equal to the star OF an
order to be allowed to drive through.
One is the gate in the arch Of the Horse
Guards, and the other is that OF the Mar
bic Arch. The Horse Guards arch is
guarded by stalwart trooper, who
stands in the way of any carriage that
attempts to go through, and, should the
occupant not have the right to pass,
turns it back. The Bishop of London,
it may be remembered, was stopped once
by sentry. who did not know that his
lordship is one OF the privileged per-
sons. When there is any disputed
claim, il the occupant of the vehicle
who wishes to go through the arch has
patience enough to wait, he can remain
until one OF the high court officials has
given his decision according to imme-
mortal custom.-London Telegraph.

Politics Is Now a Trade.

In modern politics have many times
known of more money spent in single
ward for the election OF a councilman
than the entire amount contributed n
1860 to carry the Pennsylvania election
in October that gave the Republicans
absolute victory in November, says
Colonel A. K Mcclure, in the Satur-
day Evening Post. There is not an ear
nestly contested Legislative district in
this city that does not cost thousands
OF dollars to run the campaign and pay
the party workers; and recent contest
for nomination in one OF the senatorial
districts OF Philadelphia cost the op-
posing factional leaders not less than
SIoo ooo.
Under orr present system political
leaders make politics a trade, and every
ward and precinct have a host al men
who live by politics and who refuse to
give political service OF any kind unless
literally paid. In 1860 there was not an
attempt made 10 hwy a vote for Curtin
in the entire State. and excepting in
rare instances where special and unusual
service was required. the entire work oi
that great battle. that rcvoutionizei .
Nation, was willingly performed with
out pay rs matter OF patriotic duty.

An Imperial Trophy.

Captain Potts, OF the Maxim Com
pany OF the Hongkong volunteer corps.
has Just secured an extraordinary trophy
OF war-nothing less than the Order II
the Black Eagle, set with precious
stones. which the German emperor sent
out by Prince Henry to the emperor OF
China. He has also the autograph let
ter from the kaiser which accompanied
the decoration.
The lucky captain obtained this re-
markable relic OF war in quite hat
hazard fashion. Recently at Tien-Tsin
he came across some Russian soldiers
who had been present at the looting Of
Picking. One OF the Russians had the
rarely bestowed order among his share
OF the loot. but he was too ignorant 70
recognize its great value. Captain Potts
had no difficulty in arriving at the cor
rect conclusion when he set eyes on tie
insignia and the Emperor Williams let
ter. and for trifling sum he secured
possession OF the two. When the cap
tain arrived at Shanghai and exhibited
his prize the German consul said that he
must take charge OF 1t. but CAPTAIN Potts
declined to part. He said that he was
not at all anxious to sell, and put fab
ulous price on the trophy.
The consul Immediately cabled to
Berlin for instructions and Captain
Potts is row calmly awaiting the reply.

A City Girls Poultry Farm.

the glow of cheek and eyes. Rest an d
could she afford either? or course there
was the old place in the country, but
she would die of ennui there. Then
came bright suggestion; kill two
birds with one stOne-rest and make q
fortune raising chickens. So she tried
it for two years, and found her poultry
farm SO much more remunerative than
her studio had been that she renoun-
oed the latter entirely except as
luxury. Now she would not exchange
her independence and health for any
amount of transitory glory. Her
experience may contain some hints
for others who contemplate a like
experiment.
First OF all she secured all possible
information on the subject, practical
and scientiic-fOr there is science in
raising chickens. Next she decided
upon a small beginning, and put aside
$50 as capital to invest at the outset.
Most of this was spent upon the home
for the festhered community.
Some distance from the house shed
was built for the young chicks. This
nursery consisted of about dozen
coops, five by two feet. One half of
room, and foored: the other light, with
sand-foor and exits for the tenants

On the other side of the house were

q coop ard given their first meal.
Provisions were purchased wholesale,
and everything was conducted upon
business principles. No desultory or
home tradewa done. Onegood market
was found and shipments made regular

to the sale Of eggs in winter, and of
young chickens in spring and sum-
mer. The eggs we're supplied the
first year by 200 pullets-all home
bred. The next season the business
was undertaken on much larger
scale.-Margaret r. Sangster in
