A Docs Graveyard.

Edinburgh boasts Of the only
graveyard where canine pets are reg
ularly inferred and their last rest
ing places marked with gravestoncs.
This old cemetery lies on the north
ern face of the Castle Rock, below
St. Margaret's chapel, in the famous
old castle Of Edinburgh. IT was
founded a long time ago for the ex-
elusive use OF dogs who have been
pets Of the various regiments which
have been quartered at the castle.
Almost twoscorc dogs have been
buried in it, and the grave of each
one is marked, some with stones as
large as are used for human beings
and others merely tiny monuments,
The cemetery is incloscd by low
wall of stone and is always pointed
out to visitors as the only one Of its
kind in the world.

The Earthouake.

To the average resident Of the
temperate zones an earthquake is a
rare and terrible event, creating
more CONSERVATION than any other
visitation Of nature. In the tropics,
however, particularly in Central
America, it is wonderful how easily
the residents become accustomed to
these shocks, which do not come,
however, wholly without warning.
Yoa are sitting on a piazza on a
hot afternoon chatting with your
friends when suddenly the sky seems
10 grow hazy, and the crows stop
cawing. There is general rush,
and. though you may not know what
is tie matter, you cannot help feel
ing uneasy.
The old natives say. "We're going
to have a little shake" and then the
house begins to rock, the tumblers
fall off the table, you feel deathly
sick at the stomach, and the thing
is all over. The sky clears, the
crows begin their noisy screams, and
things are soon put right again.

Old MARRIAGE Manners.

The French "dot" comes proba-
bly from the small coin which the
Roman bride brought with her to
her husbands house.
The modern scramble for the
brides bouquet comes from a SINH
lar scramble that took place at the
close of the ancient ceremony, when
the guests fought good naturedly
over the white thorn torch that had
been borne in the bridal procession.
The most marked difference be-
tween old and new ideas lies in the
fact that a part Of June was forbid
den the Romans as a time for we'd
dings. From the 1st to the 18th
the month was sacred to Vesta, and
no marriages were permitted, al
though Vesta herself was the god
dess of domesticity. May, too, was
prohibited, and this is thought to
be the reason why May marriages
still are considered unlucky. Ro..
man belief and customs forbade the
ceremony also from the 18th to the
9th of February, from the 1st to
the 9Th of March, on the 24th OF
August, the 5th of October and the
9th Of November, three days when
hades was supposed to be particu-
larly wide open.

Telephones and Travel.
Richmond Times.

Richmond Times.
Telephones are beginning to make
their value felt in an interesting and
striking way. Recent stock market
gossip has it that the hotels and rail-
roads in the West are complaining OF
the loss of business which is followed
as a direct result of the use being
made of long distance telephones.
The people are beginning to make
use of the phrase "Don't travel.
Telephone" and so the passenger
traffic between St. Louis and Chicago
and between Boston and New York
is showing a diminution which is
being attributed to the ufe OF the
telephone. This is another example
of bow much our lives have been
widened by the field Of science and
the power of invention. A man Is
now able to keep himself in touch,
with more interests and more people
than four of his grandfathers could
have done. And, as consequence,
life has been filed out and widened
inst that much more. With the per-
lection of rapid transit, which will
effect a still further saving in time,
life will be still more enriched and
heightened by giving US more time
for such work as we most prefer.

A CHINESE BANQUET.
Three Hours Of Queer Dishes and Pc
cuiiar Combinations.


For the first course were handed
sugared cakes, caviare, fried grass
hoppers, dried fruits and Ningpo
oysters. Then followed successive
" at short intervals ducks, pigeons
and peewits' eggs poached, swal-
lows nests with mashed eggs, fric-
assess of ginseng, stewed stur-
geons' gills, whales sinews with
sweet sauce, fresh water tadpoles,
fried crabs spawn, sparrows' giz-
yards, sleeps eyes stuffed with gar
lie, radishes in milk favored with
apricot kernels, matelotes of holl-
thurias, bamboo sprouts in slrup
and sweet salads, says The Leisure
Hour.
The last course consisted of pine
apples from Singapore, earthnuts,
salted almonds, savory mangoes, the
white, feshy fruits of the long yen,
the pulpy fruits of the ltchee, chest
nuts and preserved oranges from
Canton. After the dessert rice was
served, which the guests raised to
their mouths with little chopsticks,
according to the custom of their
country.
Three hours were spent over the
banquet. When it was ended and at
the time when, according to Euro
pean usage, salyers of rosewater are
frequently handed round, the wait
ing maids brought napkins stepped
in warm water, which all the COM
pany rubbed over their faces appar-
emily with great satisfaction.

spect that gate and the Notifications
around it. He walked about there with
out any fear of exposing himself to the
missiles of the besiegers. whose first
posts were less than a verst from the
ramparts. He knew well that he was
not exposed-nay. even that he was
recognized. He had had a glimpse of
a shadow which had glided to the foot
of the ramparts.
Sangarre. risking her life, had just
come to try to put herself in communi-
cation with Ivan Ogareff. Besides, the
besieged for two days had enjoyed a
tranquility to which they had not been
accustomed since the Tartars first in
vested Irkutsk. 1t was by order of
Ivan Ogareff.
The lieutenant of Feofar-Khan had
wished that all attempts to carry the
town by sheer force should be suspend

the artillery was absolutely silent. Per-
haps-at least he hoped so-the vigi-
lance of the besieged would be some

posts several thousand Tartars were
ready to hurl themselves against the
gate when deprived of it's defenders.
