HIS MAJESTY cHALKs HIS CUE.

It is now more than forty years ago since the great John Roberts, ST, father of the ex-champion English billiardist, took the then youthful Prince of Wales under his wing to teach him the art of handling a cue. Roberts found his royal pupil skillful youth, and the great exponent of the game used to say that not one of his many pupils had a better eye than the present king. On one occasion MT Roberts allowed the king fifty in q hundred up, but his majesty only had to go to the table once to complete the hundred, for he made a break of fifty without fin- ishing.
 At Sandringham the billiard room is one of the features of the house. At the time of the building of this coun- try residence the then Prince of Wales had the billiard room built after his own design and lavished very special care on it. In this room the royal fam fly spend many q happy evening.
 His majesty, who has always been the undisputed champion of the royal household, used in his early years to give personal instruction to his child, ren. In fact, so adept did some of the royal princesses become at the game that his majesty was compelled very materially to reduce the amounts of the handicaps. Princess Maud, who is now Princess Charles of Denmark was the champion among the royal ladies.

ONE WA YTO TRAIN WATCH DOGS
One of the many ways of trai


 One of the many ways of train ing bulldogs and bullterTiers to pro- tect their masters property, perhaps the most ingenious and novel contriv- ance, is that invented by a resident of Harlem. In a boarding house just off of Amsterdam avenue and north Of l2oth street lives man who has for many years kept and lodged bulldogs and other pugnacious canInes. Back of the house is a small yard utilized by this amateur dog fancier as a training yard and kennel. In one cor ner of the yard he has rigged up a dummy tramp, so lifelike in appear ance that a visitor at first glance would be deceived.
 Weary Willie' is stout cudgel weighted on the end; while attached to the arm is q long string that ex- tends to the house through the base ment window to the not over luxu- rious apartment of the inventor When the string is pulled the dummy raises its arm, and when the cord is released, down comes the arm, cudgel and all With stroke that would be anything but gentle should you by chance get within it's radius.
 Near this tough looking character, and close enough to be within reach of the chastising arm, is chained the un- happy dog to be coached in the art or "watchdoggery.v Now from his re- treat in the basement window the op- orator watches his chance and brings down the arm of the dummy with resounding thud upon the back of the unfortunate and unoffending bullpup. This treatment is continued two or three times a day for several weeks. Little wonder is it that the dog gets to hate the fierce looking tramp that so cruelty treats him, and yet luckily for the dummy's sake is just outside his victims reach
 Once every week the dog's owner let's him loose to wrealS all manner of vengeance upon his persecutor, which he does to such advantage that in the space of a few seconds dummy is re duced to strips of rags and strewn all about the yard.
 Dogs subject to this rather siren uous education have proved them- selves very efficient watch dogs. as they never forget their course of train. Ing, and woe be to the tramp or other rakIsh-looklng person who dares to prowl in the vicinity of one of these Watchdogs.-New York Sun.

CAMP LIFE.

The forester has opportunities fo know and see the wild life of the for est better than most men, says Paul Griswold Huston in the April Atlantic. He hears the whistling of the quail and the drumming of the partridge and frequently he finds their nests and sees their broods of young; he learns the ways of the wild duck, stumbles upon the curious nests of the oyenbird. ana becomes acquainted with many rare. shy birds; he has the best chances to observe the squirrels and deer. the two most graceful animals in the woods, in their native homes among the trees, and he comes across saplings against which deer have scraped their horns When in the velvet, follows their trails to his work, surveys through Ihelr feeding grounds where they have DroWsed the tips of cedar, hemlock. ash and basswood, picks up their casr oH antlers, lying among the leaves. ana nnds their beds of matted grass and ferns where they have lain. And then. too, few things are quite as nal ataDle as game cooked to crisp over wood fire m the open air. and noth- Ing tastes so good as pure, fresh, cold water drunk straight from the brook without the intervening aid of a cun or glass. These also are the forest CT advantages. He may fry some brook trout or pickerel for breakfast. roast piece of venison for lunch. and proil rabbit or squirrel for supper. The writer has had bass, venison and part ridge in one day, and all taken within mile of camp. This, if it is true. is not the ordinary camp fare; but ? taste of game is not at all uncomman. ana guns and rifles are almost a neces- sary part of an outfit.

''In the last six years" says writer in the Engineering Magazine, "there have occurred five events that wholly changed conditions in Alaska for the better. l. Tn that year the Klondike gold discoveries were made and in 1897 and 1898 a great rush to and through Alaska began, resulting in a doubling of the population and in an output of gold from the Yukon region to date or $75,O00, GOO. 2. In 1898 the Philippine Islands were acquired by the United States, giving importance to the direct route along the Alaskan coast between North America and the new posses sions. 3. Tn 1899 gold was discovered on che beach at Nome and this carried 30,O00 people to this part of Alaska, and resulted in an output of $5,000,OO0 in gold annually, or more than twice as much as all Alaska had previously yielded. f. The Alaskan salmon fish cries, in their infancy in 1896, have grown in 1902 to great companies, cap italized for $20,000.000 and with net earnings last year of more than $2, 100000, and employing 10000 men. ,. Two railroads have been constructed in Alaska, one of which in the extreme southeast, costing $4,00O,00O, earned last year over $3,ooo,ooo net, and the other i'll the extreme northwest near Nome, a little road five miles long, which earned $so,0O0 net 6. Coal fields formerly superfcially known have been explored and investigated, while new ones of great value have been discovered"

ssThere has been prevalent in con- gress.'' writes a Washington correspon- dent, " grave suspicion that the af- fairs of the war department in the Philippines have been administered with a lavish hand. The figures dis closed by the vo1uminous documents forwarded to the house in regard to the Pacific transport service, and which were elicited from the secretary of war only by the most peremptory resolution, immediately led to the belief that sim liar methods had been pursued in the Philippines, and resolution was passed by the senate calling for infor- nation. To this resolution MT Root has replied that he cannot furnish fig ures during this session of congress be- cause they are almost inextricably in- yolved with other statistics of the de partment. If such is the case, it is ar- gued. the accounting methods of the war department must be sadly lacking in system, but the more plausible ex- planation and the one generally ac- cepted is that the secretary realizes that the figures will cast serious refiec- ton on his party and that he has, in view of the approaching elections, con- cluded to suppress them for the pres ent. His course is literally condemned even by the leaders of his own party, who argue that the public soon forgets, but will not forgive being kept in the dark''

4 DISCOURSE ON aLoAFER., !,


 | The question on the derivation of that word '1oafer,'' which MT Rhodes, will is likely to elevate from the slang dictionary is getting acute. Despite Notes and Queries and the deriya- tion through Hans Breitmann, from ''that lofer Qover) of yours always hanging around here" the word is Spanish, and, like galoot and others. came from Mexico through Texas to the states. It is the Anglicized or Americanized form of gaIlofero, san idle. lazy vagabond,' passing as any student of Bartlett knows, through glofero, and glofer, to 1ofer, and ending up with the pretense of having some thing English or American about it, as 'loafer," man who has no casual connection with the loaf he does not earn.
 Of the 1oafer, Josh Billings has given in his "AlminaX" description which would have gone to Cecil Rhodes's heart, as of the type of man who was not to inherit Dalham or any other property that was his, if he could help it: 'sThe loafer is thing who is will ing to be despised for the privilege of abusing others. He occupies all grades in society, from the judge on the bench clear down to the ragged creature who leans against lamp posts and figbts flies in August. He has no pride that is worthy and no delicacy that any body could hurt. During his boyhood ne Kills cats and robs hens nests. Dur Ing middle age he begs all the tobacco ne uses and drinks all the cheap whis- Key ne can get at somebody else's ex pense, and does die at last" The loaf CT 1n America would seem to be more pronounced than his British brother. if we take Henry " Shaw-Josh Billings as thority.-London Chronicle

 But this we say to thee: For health and strength and merri-

 Drink Fenton's Breakfast Tea. There are many imitators
 Of our business and our art, And there may be some pretenders
 Who may fancy they are smart. But we stand before the public
 As solid as can be, And the best produce from China

 In the race for mundane gain; We'll treat you well whene'er you call At Jefferson and South Main. That is an old established house
 Where many things are free. And all our goods are up to date,
