Apropos Of the British royal titles a
reference to colonial possessions ap-
peared in an English sovereign's des-
ignation so long ago as the reign Of
Queen Eliza beth. The poet Speaser
dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza
beth, and then he described her as
queen Of England. France and Ireland
and sovereign Of the Dominion OF Vlr-
ginia.' 1t may also be remembered
that the Yirginians refused to acknowl-
edge Oliver Cromwell's protectorate un-
til be sent feet to compel them to
do so. Charles IL, in return expression
Of the colonists' loyalty, had himself
proclaimed in Virginia on his restora-
ton as liking Of Great Britain, Ireland
and Virginia" The further statement
has been made that Charles caused the
arms Of Virginia to be quartered with
those Of England, Ireland and Scot
Land. Certain 1t is that they appear so
on English coins struck as late as 171S
by order of George IIl.-LlVecpool

Giving Her . Lesson.

The habit Of describing things as

lied by a gentleman who came home
prepared to chat on events Of the DAY.
An acquaintance had failed in busi-
ness. He spoke Of this incident as de
liciously sad" He had ridden in an
omnibus with a friend whom be de-
scribed as "horribly entertaining" and
to crown all he spoke Of the butter
which had been set before him at his
restaurant as "divinely rancid"

head- said his youngest and most i'm
pertinent daughter.

low the fashion. worked out 'di-

buggy, gave him the reins, started the
horse homeward and stood in the door
way gazing after him and wondering
by what miracle it was that he left the
cabaret sober.
How long the buggy and patient
horse had stood in the shade Of a
spreading umbrella china tree beside
the home gate was not known. A pass
erby, receiving from the proTerbially
polite old man no acknowledgment Of
his salute, looked attentively into his
face and discovered that Leonidas La
tiolaiS was unconscious. though sitting
erect on the buggy seat, holding the
reins loosely in his hands. The house
hold was alarmed, and he was tenderly
lifted aud conveyed to his chamber.
The breathing was deep and regular,
the limbs were warm and mobile, but
8 heavy sleep seemed to have settled
upon him, from which he could not be
awakened. Dr.. Tougarre, the family
physician, after vain experiments with
black coffee, limited his treatment to
such medication as would sustain the
patients strength and trusted to na-
ture and perfect rest for the restora-
tion Of the mental faculties, strictly
enjoining absolute quiet. Thus for
days the stricken man lay mute and
almost motionless, rousing only sUH;-
ciently to receive nutriment, and no
word had escaped his lips when the
day and hour arrived, so fateful to
him and his ward, set by Evariste for
the visit Of veal Or woe.

Nat Foods.

Nearly all nuts contain large per
centages Of nltrogenous constituents
and fats. In the nut kernel there Is
very little waste-in fact, the nousish-
ment Is In q concentrated form. and
for that reason nuts are best combined
or taken with other foods. They are
especially valued for their fine, meafy
favor, which is found in no other veg
etabie food product.

tached by those who observed 1t to the
fact that the door Of his house, opening

knocked and waited in vain for re-
sponse, M pushed the door against a
heavy but yielding obstruction and
stepped inside. An instant later he
sprang back upon the veranda with an
exclamation Of horror and, gesticulat-
ing wildly, summoned the passersby. a
spectacle which froze the marrow met
their eyes. Behind the door stretched
the corpse Of Constant Quillebert, the
head, crushed and battered. lying In a
pool of thick, drying blood. A hatchee,
