There is not a night, year In, year

awesome throbbing of the voodoo

In London and throughout the
tight little island the words up" and
down" have peculiar significance.
In going to London from any part of
England you go up" In travelling in
any direction from the capital you
go down" So in London itself every
thing goes up" If 1t goes in the direc-
ton of the bank-that is, the Bank
of England-and going from that CEN
ter toward any of the points of the
compass Is to go down"
The word bank, which is not only

siveness that suggests an initial let
ter of the largest type, may be said
to be in sense interchangeable with
city, "a term of equal dignity and
value in the eyes of Englishmen, and
likewise invariably adorned with a

The City does not mean London
by any means. 1t means a certain
limited section of London, the part
where business is mainly carried on
and where the great financial institu-
tons stand.

A Wealthy Pyromaniac.

Young Dennison II. Bell, a pyro-
maniac confined in the Bloomingdale
asylum, is one of the heirs to the mil
lions of his father, Dr. Christopher
II. Bell, who died recently in Ger
many. Bell created sensation at
Newport two years ago by burning
down costly villas and cunningly con-
cealing the origin of the fires. He
finally admitted he was the firebug
and was placed under restraint after
his insanity was established The

the exposure the latter sold his

The feature in which this bird Is most
popular is its table qualities. The

broad. deep. and projecting breast Of
the Dorking admirably fits 1t for table
purposes. and in this respect 1t Is con-
coded by some the rival of the Indian

good, and are careful sitters and at
tentive mothers. They are splendid
fowls for the farm and are profitable
for practical purposes.
There are three varieties of Dork-
ings-the White, Silver Gray, and Col
ored. The White Dorking is really
the purest blooded of the three, as
for years this was the only variety
which produced invariably the fifth
toe.
The Dorking breed is one of the
oldest known and dates back to the
Roman Empire. 1t was popular In
England for centuries before the hen
