A Royal Household.

The new royal household Of Italy Is
simplicity itself. King Victor Emanuel
rises at daybreak and works until 7.3O,
when he and Queen Helena breakfast
together. At 8 o'clock their majesties
walk or drive for an hour. after which
the king attends to business of state
and the queen visits her many pets,
which includes number of rare birds.
At 1 o'clock a simple luncheon is
served, which rarely consists OF more
than two dishes. Dinner is served at
8 y. m, and there are seldom more
than three courses and dessert. Queen
Helena is extremely amiable and con-
siderate and frank to the last degree.
Recently at a reception she made a
number of practical remarks and sug'
gestions to her ladies in waiting:
Ladies', allow me to give you a WORD
of advice. When you appear at court
YOU will find it more comfortable to
wear shoes that do not pinch your
feet. When one has to stand so long
and make so many curtesies it is best
to seek comfort. Chicago Times

Every room in Harley Hall was oc-
cupied; omnibus. brougham and lug
gage cart had been to and from the
station so often that Mr.. Binder. the
head Of the stable department, had
been heard to murmur something not
vesy complimentary about people who
went about with trunks as big as 'ay-
stacks" and who expected to find
Carriages and 'osses awaiting for 'em
everywhere to drag 'em up the ills"
Men were glad to be bidden to Har-
ley; they found they could kill time
and pheasant more pleasantly there
than at other places; and besides we'll
stocked coverts there was peculiar
ly attractive stretch of lowland,
through which a small river ran, which
produced great variety Of feathered
fowl, and which enabled a man keen
about sport to get away occasionally
from the everlasting bang, bang and
barn door fowl business.
Among the latest arrivals were
two young men who were as unlike
each other in every respect as two
young men could be. Gilbert Hurst
was a barrister. whose father owned
e certain number of acres of land in
the country. and who found like many
other fathers of the present day that
farming your own land and feeding,
clothing and educating family were
pursuits that led to small balance
at your bankers and many sleepless
nights. Gilbert was doing fairly we'll
at the Bar. and was a steady, right
minded, level-headed young man. with
a pair of honest gray eyes that told
the story of frank and honest ma
ture. John Beasley. his companion
on arriving, was TALL fair, narrow
shouldered, well groomed and very
rich. His father had made a large
fortune out of small beer and was
therefore ripe for the peerage. Moth
ers smiled on John Beasley. but John
Beasley smiled mostly (when he had
the chance) on a certain enterprising
widow at South Kensington, who gave
charming little dinner parties in a
house so draDed with art silks that it
was called Liberty Hall" the only
object in the house that was not over
draped being the widow herself.
Beasley senior had heard something
about this lady, and had lectured his
son, and advised him to marry as
soon as possible, and if possible to
marry money"
AS Gilbert entered the drawing-room
his heart gave mighty leap when he
saw that Dorothy Lane. whom he had

we investigate the general route OF any
given pandemic wave we are able TO
follow its diffusion and the trade route
by which it has travelled. But when
we study it's progress from town TO
town. or country to country, we usual
" find that the disease has been pres
ent in town or country long before it
was either officially or unofticlally
recognized. It is this attribute OF
plague and OF certain other epedemic
diseases. which has dealt the death
blow to quarantine. In England IL
was long since recognized that all at
tempts to keep plague or cholera out
of the islands, assuming the disease to
be in its truly epidemic form, was ike
" to prove unavailing; and hence
thew have determined to rely largely
nm the internal machinery OF the pub

called forth by the recent invasion OF
England by the plague and the issue
bv a local government board OF
"plague memorandum" which calls
nublic attention to the classes and
sanitary areas most likely to be Affect
ed, as well as to the general symptoms
of the disease.

was a kindly ring in the old mans
voice that did much to soothe Gil
bert's ruffled temper.
Dorothy and Miss Green came out
before lunch to enable them to see
a drive down in the low ground. AS
the guns were placed behind a high,
struggling hedgerow John was sorely
tempted to ask Dorothy to stand by
him to witness his skill and prowess,
but prudence conquered. and Miss
Green was selected as lis companion.
"Will you stand by me, Miss Lane?"
usked Gilbert. "I am afraid you will
not see any brilliant shooting. but I
will do my best. Let me unroll your
waterproof and can make you COM
Portable seat here in these dry leaves,
and you will be sheltered from the

scanning the sky that had become
somewhat overcast since morning,
that it will be too dark for photog-
raphy. and ! wanted so to get a
group; it is getting late. too. and the
beaters seem a long time getting into
line"
She knelt down in the leaves that
carpeted the side Of the hedge. and
peered through small opening.
"Oh, I can see them now quite
plainly. Just look-they are down by
the osiers. and will soon be here"
Gilbert knelt by her side. and held
back some brambles that intercepted
his view. his heart beating furiously
and his hands trembling as he found
his face so dangerously near to Dor
othy's.
A sudden peal of laughter. and John
Beasley's voice calling out
Are you two saying your prayers"
brought Gilbert to his feet and the
blood to Dorothy's face.
Angry words sprang to his lips. but
he was silenced by an appeal from a
pair of very soft brown eyes and turn
ing toward Dorothy he said:
"Yes, 1 was knceling by your side;
can't you guess what"
Look out. sir. there's a lot of duck
coming over" This from the loader
who had been munching twigs in a
ruminative manner.
Gilbert picked up his gun, but 1t
was too late. and he knew that Beas-
ley would have another chance Of
saying something unpleasant about
his shooting. After that there was
no time for talking; 1t was hot work
for 10 minutes and a big mixed bag
was the result
Before lunch was over Dorothy set
tied to go home by a returning dog
cart that had come out with a fresh
supply of cartridges. and as she was
leaving she saw Miss Green preparing
her camera for action. a young man
in attendance busy with the tripod
and the legs.
John helped her with her wraps,
saying as he did so:
81 am sorry you are going home,
Miss Lane. wanted you to be in the
group" and then in lower voice,
"you know very we'll shall not care
to have a copy unless you are in It,"
Never mind Miss Green will be
there" said Dorothy. as she clam
bered up into the dog cart.
John made a nretense of settling
the rugs around her feet. and whis-
pered:
THANK goodness she will be busy
with her camera; have hal enough
of Miss Green's society forlone day,

SUBMARINE WORK OF SPIDERS.
A spscies That Carry Along Air In Th0ir
Journeys Under Water.

A certain kind Of spider is capable Of
forming bubble. taking it down
through the water. and discharging 1t
into its nest. so that the eggs, and
later on, the young are kept dry, and
are supplied with air.
Although the water spider lives on
land, where it needs plenty OF air TO
breathe, 1t is really hatched under
water and spends great deal of its
time there beneath the surface. Its
body is covered with hair, which holds
the air like drops of water. and when
the body is charged with these air
particles, forming bubble which it
holds between the hind legs and car
ries with it. 1t is only in this manner
that it can furnish air for the interior
of it's nest, keeping it dry until the
eggs are hatched.
First, the mother spider builds her
nest. This is placed some distance
down in the water, and is sort ut
cell spun in the shape Of an egg. nav
ing an opening on the under side.
When this is completed, she rises to
the surface, and there charges her
body thoroughly with air. Then once
more she dives under the surface. the
water forming bubble which gradual
ly swells out from the body. This she
skilfully holds between her furry hind
legs, firmly, and yet gently, so that 1t
won't break and escape.
Swimming to the nest, she dis
charges the bubble in it. This, of course,
crowds out some Of the water, leaving
the TOP filled with air. AS the nest
is large, requiring a great deal Of air
the spider makes another and yet an
ether trip, until the whole interior is
free from moisture. By this simple
process she keeps the eggs dry. and
furnishes air for the young until they
are large enough to swim out and get
| it for themselves.
But as much as this spider lives
under water, it is always dry. No mat
ter how long it may have been swim
ming around under the surface. the
moment it comes to the top, there is no
trace of moisture on it. The reason or
this is that the air particles that cling
to its hair keep off the water and pre-
vent it from soaking through the skin.
Another strange thing about 1t ts>that
it can swim with great speed in spite
of its balloonlike burden.
The best way to watch the water
slaspider is to place one in a vessel filed
SS nvater. and containing some
water pfaSss There it will quickly spin
