Sir Julian Pauncefote's Title.

Sir Julian Pauncefote's. title in the
peerage will be Baron Pauncefote Of
Preston, in the county Of Gloucester.
England. His father was Robert
Pauncefote Of Preston Court. The name
was originally Pauncefort, and is still
so spelt by another branch of the
family, Of whom Sir Everard Paunce-
fort-Duncombe of Great Brickhill
Manor, Blatchley, is the present repre-
sentative. An ancestor Of both fam
lilies was Sir Grimbald Pauncefort of
Hasfeld. An earlier ancestor, Richard
Pauncefort. according to Camden,
"built a fair house at this Hasfield
called Pauncefort Court, and his an
cestors were possessed Of fair lands
there in the Conqueror's time" The
name comes from the French Penses-
fort. In Crickhowell Church is re-
cumbent statue of Sir Grimwald
Pauncefort and his wife, dated 1903,
and a notice that the church was built
and the ef6gies put up by Lady sybil
Pauncefort, in memory OF her husband,

Ohio, within "a hours joined in holy
bands Of wedlock Joseph Hartman and
his son, Adam to the two Bordee sis

complication of relationships thus
arises: OF course, Gertie, who married
the father, Joseph Hartman, will be
both stepmother and :sister-in-law to
the son, Adam Hartman. Hence, if
Adam and his wife have! children
Gertie will be grandmother to her
nephews and nieces, but Katie, the
sons wife, will be aunt to her father

to be an uncle to his own half-brothers

will be aunts and uncles and cousins
to the children of the son. The wife
of the father becomes her own sisters

PALMlSTRY,
Youn. Woman Saved from a Bieamist

Young Woman Saved from a Bigamis,
by It.
Marvellous things are claimed OF
palmistry, not only by those who prac
tice it as profession but by many who
have seen the prophecies of palrnists
come true in actual life, says the New
York Herald. Telling the past by the
lines of the hands is, however, almost
a new art. There is a man in town
who believes he can do it. at least
so far as marriages are concerned.
Still further, he: claims that the lines
OF the hand show whether marriage
in the past ended in divorce and which
party it was that obtained the divorce.
1T is also possible" he said the other
day, TO find in the palms the records OF
the number Of ones marriages, hint
OF the experiences Of courtship and
whether married life proved smooth OF
otherwise. I saved one young woman
from a bigamist once. He was engaged
to her and they came together to me.
You are married already I said after
looking at his palm. He only laughed
but the young woman Investigated and
found it was true. On another occasion
I saw in the hand of hotelkeeper the
record of two marriages one at "a
years and the other at so. When ]
told him he was simply amazed. i
was married once at a. he said, 'and
again at 49, The hands are the rec
ords of the body. It is amazing what is

The new steam yacht Victoria and
Albert, which has been built for the

the handsomest and fastest yacht any
British sovereign has possessed. It will
rank only second to the emperor of
Russia's wonderful yacht, the Polar
Star, which is said to have cost close
upon e 100000. Nothing more lavish

ration of the Polar Star could easily be
imagined. Money has been drilled into
her frame in hundredweights. The
decorations of the dining saloon, which
Will seat $50 guests, cost approximately
100000. Exquisite paintings by some
OF the most celebrated artists. adorn
the saloons and cabins and all the
woodwork is deliberately carved. There
is fine library and MUSHROOM
aboard and beautiful white marble
fountain, while some of the ornaments
are of the rarest. The STANDARD, the
czar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,300
tons, is much more frequently used
than the Polar Star. She costs slight
ly over $2,600,0OO This is only about
half the price of the Polar Star, but
the STANDARD is one Of the most sump-
tuous yachts atloat. There is accom-
mediation aboard for crew Of 300,
twenty officers and eighty passengers.
There are three magnificent suites OF
apartments devoted to the use of the
emperor, empress and dowager en-
press, fine library, billiardroom
and music saloon. The dining saloon
is paneled in tulipwood; the door
handles, finger plates and the lamp
fittings are of heavily carved solid sill
yer. There is a fine marble bathroom,
with heavy silver fittings, and the walls
and doors of the principal cabin are
deliberately inlaid with ivory and
mother-of-pearl. So many improve
ments and additions have been made
to her appointments since she was
first completed that she is now worth
probably half as much again as she
originally cost. The German emperor's
famous steam yacht, the Hohenzollern,
of nearly 1000 tons, was, considering
her beauty and purpose, compare
lively inexpensive vessel, costing con-
s!derably less than $1,000,000. She

did accommodation for crew and pas
sengers alike, and is considered one of

The Imitation Voyage Which May be
Taken on tho Grounds.
Possibly the most striking of the
many novelties which will be offered
to the visitors at the coming Paris ex-
position will be the 'Mareorama" as
it is called. This is a great mock
ocean steamer. 1t is arranged pre-
cisely like one Of the transatlantic ves-
sells, has crew and captain, and even
the motion of a ship speeding through
the waves. It does not move from the
spot on which it is erected, but to
those on board the illusion promises
to be perfect. The passengers are sup
posed to be on a journey from Mar
settles to Constantinople, and as the
last bell sounds "all ashore the harbor
Of Marseilles seems to recede from
the vision, the vessel passes out to sea,
and all of the scenery of the coast
passes in view. This is done by a
large number of paintings which unroll

critical, may really imagine that they

ocean, and this is brought about by
the machinery which gives the vessel
the required motion. Meals are served
and if you are not careful you will find
your soup in your lap. Genuine sea-
sickness will be the portion of all pre-
disposed to that ailment, and it will be
almost as if the actual voyage were
taken, except that it will last but a
short time. The coast of Algiers
Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean
sea will pass before the eyes of the
passengers, and at last, the Golden
Horn, the port of Constantinople will
be entered. The painting of the pan

TESTING A NEW SHELL.
Ihe lSham PrOjectlle Astonishes
Number of Experts.

The 1sham Projectne Astonishes q
Number of Experts.
The first considerable quantity of
high explosive to be fired from an or
binary gun against armor was sent
against 12-inch Harveyized plate at
the Sandy Hook proving grounds re-
Gently. The projectile was a shell in
vented by Willard S. Isham, carrying
l29R pounds of explosive gelatine and
weighing, loaded, little more than
1000 pounds. 1t was fired from an Or
binary 12-inch sea-coast defense gun,
with reduced charge, so that the
velocity OF the projectile at the plate
was about the same as if it had been
fired with a full service charge of pow
der at distance of two miles. The
plate was backed with square oak
beams and 20 feet of sand The beams
were so arranged as to represent more
strength than the ordinary framing be-
hind the arnlor of battleship. To
make the test conform yet more to the
condition of firing against an armored
battleship, the plate was set at an
angle of As degrees to the line of fire.
There is no form of armor-piercing
shell made that will perforate Harvey
lied armor plate set at that angle, and
it was not expected that the Isham
shell would penetrate it. In fact, there
was considerable diversity of opinion
as to just what it would do, and good
many persons were interested in the
results of yesterdays test. There was
still doubt as to what had happened
when the testing party started for the
scene of the explosion from the firing
point. The thick, dark smoke from
the explosion of the shell showed that
the full energy of it's contents had not
been developed, owing to an imperfect
defamation. If perfectly detonated,
perfectly white smoke is made. In
spite of the imperfect defamation the
plate of armor was dented in about two
inches and was blown through it's oak
backing and through corner of the
big sand pile, II feet from where il
had been set up.-New York Sun.

FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY,
Remarkable Increase in the Business in
the Last Decade.

1DCEedS0 III CH0 business IN
the Last Decade.
From the Indianapolis News: Frozen
food plays a part in the English econ
omy that we in this country do not re-
alize, although we are all familiar
enough with cold storage houses and
refrigerator cars. In 1880 London re-
ceived it's first consignment of 400
frozen carcasses of Australian sheep.
In spite of the prejudice against it, the
traffic has grown until now there are
Lightweight vessels engaged in the
traffic, with a carrying capacity of
100000 carcasses per annum. A single
vessel sometimes lands at London TO-
900 carcasses OF frozen mutton. At one
wharf 10000 to 10000 Of such
carcasses are handled daily and one
warehouse will hold 100000 of them;
all are from Australia and New zea-
land. Sheep were imported into Aus
tralia with the convicts to Botany bay
a little more than century ago, and
with the small population and the vast
plains for grazing, focks increased so
that in 1867 a farmer is recorded who
for four months of the year boiled
down daily from 1000 to 1900 sheep
for their tallow and until 1880 it was
common in Australia and New Zea-
land to kill focks of sheep for their
hides and tallow, leaving the carcasses
to manure the ground, as used to be
done with cattle in South America
There is a difference between frozen
and chilled meat. The meat that Eng
land receives from America is chilled,
but that sent from Australia $4,000
miles away, must be frozen. Australia
and New Zealand have twenty-five
freezing works in operation, whose
total capacity is 100000 carcasses
per annum One of the results of the
frozen and chilled meat trade is that
people are now able to eat fresh meat
who half century ago could only get
it as a luxury. Naturally we are less
dependent on such food than England,
but the growing use of refrigerator
cars and cold storage houses is giving
US a variety of diet that was impossible
a few years ago.

probably left something with the care
taker it will be easily seen that here,
too, is nice little property. There
are other places, more or less well
known, scattered about in different
parts of England and Wales, which
the tourist often visits. Shakespeare is
still veritable little gold mine to
Standardization. People from all
parts OF the world make pilgrimages
to the little Warwickshire town in
order to see the famous poets birth
place. The charge for admission to
the house is pence, but as an interest
ing museum is usually visited at the
same time, for which an extra pence
is demanded, few persons leave the
building without leaving 1 shilling be-
hand them. Then there is Ann Hatha-
ways cottage to be also seen. This is
mile away from Stratford, at the
pretty little village of Shottery, and it
is where the poets wife was wooed and
won. The writer, during a recent visit
I'd 1t, was Informed that on an average

Had an Unplear%nt Experience.

Henry Fredenburgh, while fishing at
Catskill recently, had rather unpleas-
ant experience. A monster sturgeon
caught it's head in the meshes of a
net handled by Fredenburgh, and
while he was striving to fasten a rope
about his gills, the boat lurchcd and
the fisherman tumbled into the net.
After f1oundering there some lime with
the sturgeon, Fredenburgh succeeded
in grasping rowlock, but was unable
to free himself from the net. The big
fish, still entangled, made a dash for
liberty and for ten minutes dragged
net, boat and fisherman about the
river. Then Jacomb CONNIE, partner
of Fredenburgh, came in boat, cut
the net, released the sturgeon and as
sisted Fredenburgh into the boat.
