nVe succeeded in recopciling the gov
eminent to the pacific course which
was at once adopted. Captain Wilkes
was disowned and the prisoners were
cheerfully liberated. Before the news
reached this country the prince had
passed away, but both his widow and
her prime minister recognized how
much the peace of the world and the
unity of the great English-speaking
nations owed to the suggestions of the
prince consort.

at the time. 1t was not till 1874 that
w. E. Forster publicly declared with
what grateful and profound sense of
obligation" the British nation learned
how much it owed to its sovereign at
that profound crisis. Notwithstanding
her solicitude for the health of her
dying husband. every detail, both Of
the Trent affair and the steps taken
in consequence, had been carefully
considered by her majesty from day
to day, but, when the dispatch came,
with its dictatorial demand for the re-
lease of the ENJOYS, her majesty, says
Mr.. Forster, was startled and shocked
at the idea of war with America. Not
liking the peremptory language and
defiant speech of the dispatch, the
queen took it to the apartment of the
prince consort, who used the pen for
the last time in modifying the Ian
guage and tone of the demand"
Advice from Other Powers.
The other powers of Europe were
made aware of the situation and the
grave consequences of the conflict
from an international point of view
pointed out. The result was an able
state paper sent to Washington by Mr..
Thouvenel, in whlh he stated that
France regarded the act of the Ameri-
can captain who had arrested the con.
federate ENJOYS on board an English
ship as quite unjustifiable and ex-
pressed the hope that the federal gov
eminent would accede to the demands
Of Great Britain, Austria and Prussia
Immediately followed suit and Prince
Gortschakoff. on the part Of Russia,
urged President Lincoln to surrender
the ENJOYS without delay and with
such a neXplanation as would satisfy
English national feelings. These re-
monstrances from the powers enabled
the government of Washington to es-
cape without humiliation from an I'M
tenable position and saved England
from entering into a war which would
mall human probability have ended in
the disruption of the American union
and sown the seeds of deathless en-
nifty between England and the pro
gressive and powerful northern states.

only three members of the guard were
old soldiers, but it was her pleasure
to thus distinguish the old warriors
and the guard now contains more than

the guard higher social standing.
Duties Unique.
One of the most peculiar Offices in
the household is that known for eighty
years as the queens champion. 1t is
an hereditary office and is thus held
by f. s. Dymoke, who will now have a
first opportunity of performing his
duty.
The champion of England, as is his
official title, appears but once during
the reign of a monarch, and that at
his coronation. While the coronation
banquet is in progress, a function
which has always taken place in
Westminster hall, the champion en-.
tiers on horseback and clad in steel
armor with visor closed. Raising his
visor, he challenges all corners to
deny the title of the sovereign and
offers if necessary to fight them on
the spot. or course, no one is found
to take up the gauntlet which he
throws down. A golden goblet filled
with wine is then handed him and
he drinks to the health of the mon
arch, after which he backs is horse
from the royal presence, carrying with
him the goblet as his perquisite. The
office of champion is said to have been
established by William the Conqueror,
who conferred it upon Robert De
Marmion with the castle of Tamworth
and the mansion of Scrivelsby. At the
coronation of Richard ii. the Office
was claimed by Sir John Dymoke of
Scrivelsby manor and by Baldwin De
Trevil of Tamworth castle. The de.
cision was that the office went with
the manor and belonged to Sir John
Dymoke, in whose family it has since
remained. Should the present cham.
pion die his nearest male relative
would inherit the honor.

PRETTY THINGS FOR THE HAIR,

IL is seldom that one sees a couture
unadorned these days and from the
simple ribbon bow which first started
the craze to the elaborate headdress

vide field to choose from. The new
est ornaments show the prevailing
dash of gold and even plain velvet rib.
bon bows are tricked out with gay
| spangles and loops of tiny braid.
Sometimes the whole ornament is of
gilt.
The square bow, an ever popular
shape, is made of double faced satin
ribbon an inch and a half wide, one
edge being folded over wire to give
it form and yet avoid any stiffness in
appearance. These knots come in all
the light evening shades and are par
tlcularly pretty worn directly in front
over the low pompadour. For variety
the ribbon is bordered either with Jet
or gilt spangles. These embellish.
ments for the hair are easily adjusted
and are firm enough not to become
easily disarranged.
Flowers and aigrettes have a wide
spread popularity just now-the color

The Raw Food Habit.

Just now the raw food diet threatens
to become a fad. Certainly many peo-
pie are experimenting with the new di-
etc idea. 1t would be far better for the
average man or woman to-, adopt an
absolutely raw diet, and eat everything
which he could possibly eat or relish in
q perfectly raw state, than to swallow
into his stomach the horrible messes
which are concocted by the average
cook. 1t is safer, on the whole, for
man to take. his food as he finds it in
it.; natural state than to take it as he
finds it on the table of the average
boarding house or hotel. In other
words, it is safer for man to take his
food straight from the hands of his
Maker than from the hands ola French
cook.-Good Health.

that 1t is I" mere difference in spelling,
but a correspondent writes that, in an

out that the customer always bought
Irish, never Scotch. The order was re-
ferl ed to, and the merchant, placing his

out an "e.' it denoted Scotch; if Irish
was required the spelling should be

know why re" should spell "Irish."-
