mote should exist between our two
countries. | will ask you to be SO
good as to convey to the president and
to Mr.. Hay on behalf of his majesty s
government our cordial thanks for
their appreciation of Herbert's char
acter and public services, and of the
loss which his country has sustained.
Believe me to be, dear Mr.. Choate.
yours sincerely, LANSDOWNE."

The Gopher Snake.

It has long been a question in our
minds as to how the gopher snake
caught the gophers on which he lives,
but II. c.. Heitzer tells how it was done,
having witnessed a catch. Mr.. Snake
coiled his tail over the gopher hole, set
ting q snare for him. When the gopher
had crawled out of the hole sufficiently
to permit the snakes tail to be drawn
about the body of the gopher the coil
was fastened about Mr.. Gopher as
quick as fash.
It was gradually drawn tighter and
tighter until the gopher fell over dead,
the life having been completely squeez-
ed out Of him. After the gopher is dead
the snake swallows him whole, and it
is not an unusual thing to find one of
these snakes with a number Of gophers
in him. The gopher is a great fighter,
and if he was not caught in snare as
the one mentioned he would doubtless
make hard fight for life even with a
snake.-Tulare Advance.

Origin of the TUrban.

The origin Of the turban must be
hooked for not, as commonly believed,
among Moslems, but as a sign of au-
thority and honor dating back to the
earliest periods of Jewish history. The
term used in the Hebrew Bible for
putting on the bonnet of the high
priest is from a root meaning ito bind
round" The words inter, hood, dia-
dem, as used in the Old Testament, are
only variations of the word turban.
Jerome tells us that the turban has a
place in the most ancient records OF
history The variations as adopted by
Mohammedans are many. Their own
authorities hint at a thousand methods
of arranging the turban, which shows
not only the t,oe and religious dis
tinction, but eH~2n the personal pecul-
iarities of the y'earer.
An old legel.l traces tie turban to
an act Of desp ate courage recorded of
the ancient I. yantines. A brave band
of warriors are said to have wrapped
their winding sheets round their heads
as they devoted themselves to certain
death to save their comrades on the
battlefield.

At the Ton of ST. Peters.

One needs to climb to the top of st.
Peters to understand best how its
builders sought to overawe it's behold
ers. Then the colossal proportions Of
every detail become apparent; then one
may discover that the pen in the hand
of st. Mark is as long as a six foot
grenadier. On approaching the row Of
apostles which stand along the edge OF
the roof and which seem to the by
stander in the street below Of the size
of ordinary human beings one will find
gigantic figures whose eyes are as big
as mems heads and whose fingers vie
in size with an athletes forearm The
roof is indeed a city in itself, for here
are rows of houses where the workmen
who are constantly employed in repair
ing the cathedral have their homes. A
fountain supplies them with water,
and their provisions are brought to
them on the backs of donkeys driven
up the broad and easy incline OF the
stairway.

Budding Cuns.

An article in the Burlington Maya
:.e describes some early English
sA-t2enware drinking cups Of eccentric
patterns. The principal feature of most
Of the quaint tygs, or loving cups, is
their astonishing number of handles,
which range from two to as many as
twelve. It is supposed that the purpose
of this equipment was that the cup
might pass from hand to hand and
each guest have a fresh portion Of the
rim to himself, no doubt an excellent
arrangement for the first time round!
Not content with half g dozen or so of
full grown handles, the potter frequent
~ inserted between each of them a
sort of rudimentary handle, consisting
of a Topped strip Of clay. The 'fud-
ding cup is a cluster Of half 4 dozen
good sized cups joined together. When
it is realized that the six cups commu-
nicate with each other internally, SO
that to empty one you must empty all,
the force of the name will be apparent.
Any doubt as to the use Of these formi-
dable vessels is dispelled by the in
scription: Fill me full Of sidar. Drink
of me-"
