Highland Venison.

Most of the red deer venison which finds its way to London is Scotch wild venison, shot in the forests. There is great difference in quality in this highland venison. To be good, venison needs to be fat, and unlike most game the "artificially fed" deer, or, rather, the deer that enjoys the feed of a good English park, is better for the table than when picking up a hard living on Scotch mountain, but there are varie- ties of Scotch deer. Those on forests with plenty of low ground attached grow fat and heavy, and the meat is as good as that of an English park-fed stag. At the end of October and be- ginning of November the flesh deterior- ates rapidly and is rank and poor, evil dence, if any were needed, that the shooting ought to have closed earlier, but a good deal of Russian venison, shipped ready and cut up into joints, is very poor stuff. The same rules as to season govern the supply of red deer venison from English parks, but the weight and quality of the latter are su- perior to the Scotch. Most large pro- prietors find sale for their spare veni- son near home, and consequently it is less common in the market. Red deer minds are again in season in winter, but the fallow venison is in every way bet ter. Some is even stall fed, and the car casses show almost as much fat as does small mutton.

Just in Time.

A circus paid flying visit to a small northern town not long ago, and the price of admission was sixpence, chill dren under 10 years of age half-price. It was Edith's tenth birthday, and her brother Tom, aged 13, took her in the afternoon to see the show.
 Arrived at the door he put down nine- pence and asked for two front seats.
 "How old is the little girl?'' asked the money-taker, doubtfully.
 "Wen." replied Master Tom, "this is her tenth birthday, but she was not born until rather late in the afternoon" "
 The money-taker accepted the state ment, and handed him the tickets. But it was a close shave.-London Spare Moments.

ONE OF BOOTHS SOLDIERS.

American Nob1ewoman a Worker in
 the Salvation Army.
 The Countess of Tankerville, one of the most devoted members of Gen. William Booths Salvation Army, is now in this country and is accompanied by her husband, who was also a mem- Der of the Salvation Army at Tacoma, Wash, where the two first became ac- quainted and were married. At that time the Earl of Tankerville was third in succession to the title. The Countess was Miss Lenora Van Marter, a resi- dent. of Tacoma, and it was while en- gagged in army work there that she at tracted the Earl's notice. He was so smitten by her rare beauty that he abandoned the gay life he was leading in order to be near her. Together they worked for many months in the streets of Tacoma, doing good to all with whom they came in contact. Finally the young man, by the death of rela- tives, came into possession of his es- tates and title. He at once married the young army lass and together they sci

worth and Isaac and David Brown, whose descendants are still living around Winchester.
 Isaac Brown, great-grandfather of the writer, had three of the eXiled Friends at his home, three miles north of Win chester. While they were with him in the spring of ITS they planted an or chard with apple trees. Ever since then the orchard has been bearing fruit, and I send you a few of the ap- pies from the orchard on the farm now owned and occupied by two grand daughters of Isaac Brown, Elisau and Catherine Brown, cousins of the writer, who annually send me a box of the apples as a reminder of the many happy days of youth spent with them over three-score and more years ago. The same house occupied by the Friends is still occupied by the present owners.
 In the Historical library can be found the diary of the eXiled Friends at Win chester, which contains the correspon- dence their wives had with Gen. Wash ington when they applied to him for their release. He declined upon the ground that they were state prisoners and were beyond his control.
 The Gilpins, Whartons, Pembertons Fishers, Drinkers, Penningtons and other wel-known citizens of Philadel phia are the descendants of the Quakers spoken of above.

Booth for their zeal and efficiency. They return to the United States to continue their chosen work for a time. Whether or not they will remain permanently has not yet been determined. If the work here shall seem to require their services they will stay; if England offers a more promis- ing field for their endeavors they will return there. In any event they are determined that they will not forsake the army in the days of their pros DeritY.

over here to try his fortunes on the En- glish turf and chose for his residence the old Moat House at Letcombe, near Vantage, Berks. People who only know Mr. Croker as the leader of Tam many Hall would be amazed at the quietness and utter lack of ostentauon which characterize his life at Letcombe. A man of medium stature, with iron gray hair, beard and mustache, and strong American accent, he is often to be seen during the summer months, rid ing or driving in the neighborhood of Vantage, and anyone who has had the fortune to drive with MT. Croker Is not likely to forget it, for he goes down some of the steep Berkshire hills at furious pace in his buggy, slashing wig orously with his whip all the time. He will drive good horse, and that means very fast trotter, and if horse he has bought does not please him, no matter what the cost of it, it Is just sold for what it will fetch.
 A most extraordinary love for anil mals is one of his characteristics and he had at the Moat House five bulldogs, several prize cats and five St. Bernard dogs. Two of the bulldogs, Rodney Stone-the champion of the world and for which he paid $5,OO0-and Bromley Crib he took back to America with him, taking frst-class passage for both.
 To the local charities, the writer con- tinues, he is a liberal subscriber. On Sunday mornings he usually drives over to Hendred, village six miles distant, to the Roman Catholic Church, and in the afternoons he generally goes to see over his stables and farm. He Is a man of immense physical strength, and on one occasion when some men were try ing to lift a seven-foot hywheel on to dynamo, but seemed to have a diff culty in doing so, MT. Croker got up and put his shoulder under one of the spokes and lifted it himself on to the crank shaft. The tigers head, with open mouth and teeth showing, which is the badge or coat-of-arms of Tammany, is to be seen here and there in the Moat House. In the drawing room it appears on various menu cards which were used at the great Tammany banquets The New York papers are a source of 1nfailing interest to him, and he is often much amused at the cartoons of him. self.

Boomerangs Not New.

The Australian aborigines are not the only users of the boomerang, nor were hey the first to use that missile. The Egyptians knew all about it, just as they seem to have known all about ev- erything else. At the present day the boomerang is used by some American Indian tribes and by the Dravidian races of the Indian peninsula. The missile used by the last named differs in that it is thicker than the usual form and does not return to the throw CT. The retuSrn nf the boomerang is due to the actiC' of the wind, the shape of the weapon and the manner in which it is thrown.

"5 DROPS,''if taken in time, is an absolute preventive of disease. IT is the only absolute cure for Rheumatism, driving out of the system forever the uric acid and other impurities which cause it in it's var ious forms. It is taken up at once by the blood.
