Famous Moated Houses.

The moat which so often surrounded
halls and castles in the old days is
now. generally dry and filed up, but
some remarkable specimens still re-
main. Perhaps the finest example Of
moated house is Relmingham Hall,
the seat of Lord Tollemache, in Suf-
folk, about eight miles from Ipswich.
The drawbridge still remains, and it
has been raised every night for more
than three hundred years, the ancient
precaution being observed even though
the need Of it has long passed by. The
moat which surrounds, Leeds Castle,
near Maidstone, is so wide that it may
almost be called a lake. The ancient
Episcopal palace at Wells is surround
ed by walls which enclose nearly seven
acres of ground, and by moat which
is supplied with water from st. An
drew's Well. A venerable bridge spans
the moat, giving access through
tower gateway to the outer court.

SNATCHED FROM THE GRAVE.

Sir James Hector Relates Incident
of Early Northern Explorations.
Among the passengers on board the
steamer AOrangi, reaching Victoria, B.
c., a few days ago, was Sir James
Hector. Sir James is now 70 years Of
age, but is still deeply interested in
geological researches. It was in his
capacity as a geologist that he discov-
cred the Kicking Horse pass in the
Rocky mountains, which has been util-
lied by Canadian Pacific Railroad In
making it's way into British Column
bia. Mount Hector, in the Rockies,
commentaries the visit of the geolo-
gist and explorer to Western Canada,
says the Winnipeg Free Press.
Interviewed on board the Aorang1,
Sir James became reminiscent of his
explorations throughout Canada. 1t
was in 1857 that he discovered the
Kicking Horse pass, and an accident
which led to the name still affects him.
He was kicked by horse belonging
to the exploration party and believed
by the remaining members to have
the pass and preparations were made
for the interment Of the body, when
signs of life were shown. Thus was
Sir Thomas snatched from the grave.
He was sent out to Canada by the
Colonial Office to report upon the char
acter Of the country, which was then
being left to the Hudson's Bay Com
pany as fit for nothing but the fur
trade For four years he was engag-
ed In exploring from Lake Superior
westward. Sir James discovered the
riches of the western prairies and of
the mountains, and by his report did
much to awaken an interest in the
country. AS he himself says, he was
the inventor Of the phrase fertile
belt" which has ever since been used
in describing the northwest grain
lands He visited the Peace River Val
also explored through the northern
portions of British Columbia, as well
as the more southern part, through
which the Canadian Pacific Railroad
now passes. Vancouver island was
also traversed by him and he piled his
interviewer with all kinds of ques-
lions regarding the development Of its
resources.
"Have they ever found the coal on
the west side of the island yetT' he
asked.
"Well, it is there; I have samples of
it I gathered myself" he continued
Since 1861 Sir James has been direc-
tor of the geological survey of New
Zealand.

Stylish Women.


The woman who looks well, no mat
ter what she may be wearing, is the
fortunate woman who knows how TO
put her clothes on, and how to wear
them after she has them on. Some
women have an indescribable way or
putting on their clothes that makes
them look hideous, no matter how ex-
pensive the gown may be.
It isn't always the extensively gown
ed women who look the most stylish.
In putting on a skirt for the nrst
time it is always well to examine II
first and see if all the hooks are in the
proper place, and when it is on TO De
sure that every hook is properly fast-
ened, after which the skirt should De
well drawn down in the front, and II
It won't stay down without pinn1ng,
the best plan is to pin 1t. Ii woman
stands properly she will have no dill
Guilty whatever to keep her skirt at the
proper angle.
After the skirt is properly adjusted
and smoothed about the hips the bod
ice comes in for consideration. Have
it well set around the armholes ana
we'll pulled down in the back before
starting to hook it, and if the collar is
pinned on, be sure it is pinned evenly,
and that none of the pins show.
A small hand-glass is all that is need
ed to ascertain whether it is properly
and neatly fastened
Then there is the hat. Always be
sure and have it set on at becoming
angle. Some women have an irresist-
ible way of setting on' their hats that
their less fortunate sisters would do
we'll to copy.
After properly putting OF dress the
next essential is to wear it well. That
can only be done by standing and
walking properly.
The way corsets are made nowadays
leaves positively no excuse for a WON
an not to stand and walk properly.
Many women, when told to straighten
up and stand properly, have ridicu-
lous way Of drawing up their shoulders
and throwing them back, fondly indag-
ming that they have Strengthened up.

Is made in little Pennsylvania town
by a single firm, and there are few
workmen who understand the art Of
handling platinum.
Treated with care platinum vessels
are almost indestructible. They seem
to suffer nothing from the high tenn
peratures to which they are exposed in
the laboratory, and however long in
use. a brisk rubbing renders them as
beautifully bright as on the day when
they came from the factory They
are ordinarily cleaned, however, by
the application of hot water and acid
solutions, as they gradually lose in
weight by rubbing.
One reason why platinum imple-
ments are seldom stolen by burglars
lies in the fact that they are not easily
disposed Of. The metal is hard to
melt, and a large vessel Is not easily
hammered out Of recognition. Pawn
brokers are shy Of accepting articles
Of platinum, because such articles,
having a comparatively narrow use,
ale not hard to trace. Small crucibles
and platinum wire and rods do oc-
casionally disappear from laboratories,
but the larger articles are rarely
stolen When man, presents himself
in a shop with metal worth in the
neighborhood of $3.50 pound for sale
he is naturally expected to tell how
it came into his possession.

WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Platinum Is Seldom Stolen, Because
1t Is Difficult to SELL

Platinum Is Seldom Stolen, Because
1t Is Difficult to SELL
One kind of valuable plate is seldom
stolen by burglars, though the metal
of which it is made far exceeds silver
in cost. Every college chemical labor
atory and scores of factory labora-
tories have costly vessels made Of
platinum. The plain metal is usually
worth about it's weight in gold, and
made up into crucibles and other YES
sells used in labora tories it is much
more valuable than In it's ordinary form.
The makers of such ware, in fact,
must earn large profits, for their
charges are high, although the metal
is made into the simplest forms, with
out decoration Of any sort. A tiny
crucible holding perhaps only gill is
worth SIS or $40, and some of the larger
vessels used by chemists are worth
several hundred dollars each, accord
ing to the New York Times.
The valueof these vessels is so great
that they are locked up every night in
a safe in any well-conducted chemical
laboratory and frequently counted.
Damaged vessels and even the small
est scraps of platinum ware, are care
fully treasured, and sent TO the factory
from time to time in order to be made
over into new vessels. A chemist has
somewhat the same feeling toward his
platinum plate that housekeeper has
toward her solid silver, but the chem
lists plate is worth far more than any
but the most elaborate wrought silver
ware. 1t is also much more liable to
damage.
The presence of a small quantity of
lead in a hot cruclble of platinum Is
likely to bring about puncture OF the
crucible. A punctured cruciDle must

costly. Much Of such ware used here
