Costly English Plate.

from Ilt-bltS
Few people. at least in this country. pos
sess plate worth such, a fabulous sum as
that owned by London's lord mayor during
his term Of Office. Its face value has been
computed to be. slightly over $780,
though three times that amount would not
buy it, owing to the historical interest at
tached to many Of the articles. The two
solid silver soup tureens which are en-
ployed at the banquet to distribute 100 gal
Ions Ct clear ar turtle to the guests; are val
been in possession Of the corporation for
over century: Moreover. there are
200 ice pals valued at nearly $1,000 200
entree dishes, the cost of which $4,000
would not cover; eighty solid silver meat
dishes, worth another $4,000. and hundreds
Of other articles, such as grape scissors,
canter labels etc. ali Of solid gold or sill
yer. and valued at over $25 0O0. This collec-
ton OF plate is constantly being increased,

Rent. Not Declining.
From Ains,ee's Magazine.


Rents are not declining, on the whole.
owing to the rapid growth Of towns and
cities. But none the less. a remarkable
advance has been made in the way Of pro-
viding modest homes for people of small In
comes. New York presents an extreme
case, for rents are higher on Manhattan Is
land than in most cities of the world. 1t
would scarcely Bs EXPECTED that great pro-
gress would ,bs, nsksS6g u Manhattan in
the way .ofs prayidiAs more comfortable
homes at compara4iNAy lew rentals. Such
is the fact, however and H is due chiefly to
two eircumstanses,3s One Is that the fiat
has at length become a civilized abode.
These latter-day- apartments are no more
to be comparedf with those built twenty
years ago than y the comfortable Philadel
phfa cottage with the log cabin Of the Yu-
kon miner. The problems Of light, air,
sanitation, convsnienue and comfort have
been solved in sHroresq Of moderate priced
apartment houses ere9ted within the past
few years. Architects believe that every
attainabie advantageih this class of build
ings has now beef provided.
The other circumstance Is that apartment
houses are beginning to supply, under one
roof, suites of vGriouB sizes to fit the diff.
ferent needs OF tenants.

ME-. Allen C. Clark,s Recearches APP
pear fn . Handsome Volume.
A notable contribution to the history Of
the city has Just come from the press
through the public spirit of Mr.. Alien C.
Clark. He has embodied in q volume that
attracts attention by its handsome typo
graphic dress-the result off the intelligent
and artistic work of a Washington printer
much information that he has gathered
relative to the connection of James Green
ieaf and Thomas Law with the affairs OF
the city. The volume which presents In
such pleasing manner Mr.. Clarks his
torical researches is a portly octave or
over $50 pages, embellished with many
plates of portraits of the men and views or
buildings in this city referred to in the mar
rative.
The period covered begins with the year
1893. and Mr.. Clark. by means Of excerpts
from original records and the free use OF
letters and newspaper flies, pictures the
fair prospect Of the infant city, and then
the financial reverses which seemed to have
come to practically all who took part In
the speculative era that marked the opening
year of the nations capital.
The volume is a monument to Me. Clark s
capacity and industry, as well as to his
public spirit. Its preparation and zpublica-
ton may be looked upon as an indication
of the growing Interest In the past Of the

Interest in the Selection OF Two
Brigadfer Generals.
Probably none Of the early nominations
to be submitted by the President to the
Senate will attract more general attention
than those Of the two brigadier generals Of
the army to fill the vacancies caused by the
recent retirement Of Brigadier Generals
Merriam and Hall. The candidates for
these two vacancies comprise practically all
the colonies and many of the lieutenant
colonies and majors of the line and nu-
merous officers of the various staff depart
ments of the rank of colonel, lieutenant
colonel and major. The officers Of the ad-
jutant generals department have prepared
a statement of the records Of the numerous
officers considered eligible for these vacan-
cies

We're the subject of conference between
the President and the Secretary of War at
the White House this afternoon, and that
the result will be announced by nominal
ton to the Senate of the fortunate candi-
dates before the close Of the present week
Inc President has made it known that
these, as we'll as other army appointments,
will be based entirely upon merit, and that
political or social influence exerted in be-
half of any of the candidates will retard
rather than advance the chances Of such
officers. The recent advancement of Capt
Crozier to the head of the bureau Of ord
nance, with the rank of brigadier general
is accepted in military circles as an indica-
ton that President Roosevelt has virtually
abandoned the policy: heretofore governing
in military appointments of making senior
ity of service the predominant factor in
army promotions in all cases where other
conditions are nearly equal. H. --.t
Many important army appointments will
devolve upon President Roosevelt during
the calendar year 1902 by reason of re-
ttrements for age. Major General e. s.
John R. Brooke July p and Major General
Lloyd Wheaton July Is. Secretary Root

From the Boston Transcript. -
THE Hudson bay marten, the little furA
bearer whose skin Is ever popular and at
times exceedingly valuable, is still plentiful
in that region of fur bearers" said W. B.
Salmon, one time trapper for the Hudson
Bay Company, but believe 1t would have
been virtually extinct there long ago If it
were not for a habit 1t has of making Pc
riodical disa ppearances, of which 1 never
heard any satisfactory explanation. These
disappearance occur every ten years.
Where the animals go no one knows. No
dead ones are ever found. and no one has
yet discovered any evidence OF their mi
grafton to any other region. few mar
tens, of course, remain on their old feeding
grounds, but during the season Of the dis
appearance OF their fellows none of them
will touch the bait in a trap, and con-
seauently, none Is caught. The next year
the martens are back again in their old
haunts, as numerous as ever, and for ten
years more submit to being caught s..
The Hudson bay martens, seem to be
the only ones Of the species that have this
strange habit. The Lake Superior martens
don't waste any Of their time disappearing
voluntarily. but are found at the old stand
year in and year out housing themselves
in hollow trees in the deepest woods and
making life a perpetual burden to birds,
squirrels. rabbits and other small game on
which they prey. The Lake Superior mar
ten has one prediction of the palate in
which he resembles the bear. That is a
passion for honey. He will line wild bee
to it's home with the precision Of the most
expert bee hunter, and the hidden sweets
Of that bee colony will have to be in a
most inaccessible place II the marten
doesn't soon revel in them. Like the male
mink, the male marten has an oyerpower-
ing love, not only for his own offspring,
but for the offspring of his fellow martens
such peculiar love, indeed. that If it
wasn't for the instinct and shrewdness of
the mother martens the race Of martens
would have been unknown long ago. The
male marten Is SO fond OF his young that
he will eat them up whenever he happens
to find them. The mother. therefore, bears
her young In some secret hiding place and
keeps them hidden until they are half
grown and able to defy the cannibalistic
love Of their sire. The female mink exer-
cises the same instinct with her progeny
for the father of them. as fond as he is of
trout and other fish, will leave his fishing
any time to dine on his interesting little
family"
