downe announced that the British
minister to Servia had been in
structed to withdraw from Belgrade
for some time, on the arrival there
of King Peter, and in the meanwhile
to do nothing which could be con-
strued as a recognition of the new
government. Lord Lansdowne ex-
pressed indignation at the crimes at
Belgrade, and said he thought it was
not desirable that Sir George Bon
ham, the British minister, should be
in that city when the. new regime was
inaugurated.
The foreign minister added that no
proposal had been received for con-
certed action towards Servia by the
powers, but the British government
had no intention of maintaining or
binary relations with the persons
concerned in the massacre

that he will enter into relations with
the Servian government Friday, as
the czar had been pleased to recog-
nize Prince Karageorgevitch as king
of Servia."
Vienna, June 2o.-The press CORE
spondent interviewed the members of
the 1Servian deputatiop. All protested
that it vas impossible to accsde to the
Russian demands, declaring that any
attempt to punish the guilty officers
would plunge Servia into new trouble.

NEGLECTED LITERARY SHRINE.
the Heart of Beautiful Kent
Almost Forgotten.

The county of Kent is famous in a
literary sense, its history including
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Thackeray and
Dickens. Devotees to the latter's
shrine at Gad's hill by Rochester are
numerous, and said to be increasing
since the foundation of the Dickens
fellowship, but there is another great
literary shrine that is almost forgot
ten. I refer to ''Tappington," the
home of the immortal Ingoldsby
family, the legends. relating to which
first appeared in BentleS's Miscellany
under the name of Thomas Ingolds-
by" says a writer in London Sketch.
The real author, however, was Rev.
Richard Fl. Barham, whose home,
'Tappington," his fond fancy pic
tured as the beautiful ancestral Eliza
bethan mansion of the Ingoldsbys.
Some people have expressed doubts
as to the existence of such a place
as "Tappington," but a glance at the
map of Kent will soon prove that
s.Tappington" is q reality il the
legends are not.
You will find it marked on the map
just near to the village of Denton,
and close to Barham; from which vii
lage the family of the author of ''The
Ingoldsby Legends" took their name.
.Tappington' is not the manor

described, but simply a mere unpre-

PRIMITIVE FISHING METHODS.
era Times Were in Use in the
Time of Christ.

The proximity of the fisheries Of
Oregon and Washington to a popu-
lous coast, settled by a highly prog
ressive and intelligent people, has
tended to differentiate them in many
ways from older fisheries. No one Of
the great industries shows in general
less departure from the primitive
methods of a hundred, or even a
thousand, years ago than does fish
in, writes Ray Stannard Baker in
"The Salmon Fisheries" in Century.
Lines, baited hooks and nets have
been in use from time immemorial;
the present-day methods are not far
different from those of the time of
Christ-ton of men in boats, peril,
hardship, the will Of the sea. Even
the methods of curing by smoke, salt
or sunshine have changed little in
hundreds of years. The cod of New
%foundland are cured now, for the
most part, a. they were in the begin
ming. But the northwest, with it's
traps and the automatic machinery
of its canneries, has devised new
methods characteristic of its own
spirit of enterprise. It has reduced,
in some degree, a primitive industry
to exact business standards. Nowhere
in the world, perhaps, has fishing, and
especially the are of the products
of the fisheries, reached such a state
of development as here; nowhere has
machinery been introduced to such
an extent; nowhere has the world
old uncertainty of the industry, the
element of ~"fisherman's luck" been
SO far eliminated.
The success Of the Pacific fisher,
however, is not wholly the result OF
his enterprise and resourcefulness-
Nature has favored him with q
variety of fish not only of superior
quality as a food product, but having
certain peculiar habits of life which
render possible a highly organized
system of fishing: The salmon,
though not, as commonly supposed,
a salmo at all, being 10 o closely
related to the salmon of Europe and
Of our own eastern waters than a dog

turity in the sea and then ascending
the rivers to lay its eggs, its young
being born always in fresh water.
Each year., therefore, great runs, or
schools, of fish swim upward from
the sea into the rivers on their way
to The spawning beds. The fisher has
only to set his nets or traps in the
well-known courses taken by these
runs near the river mouths OF in the
rivers themselves. and he is III of a
catch. The only element of uncer-
tainty, indeed, is in the size of the
runs; the fish come up as regularly
as the seasons, but there Ire years of
great runs and years of small runs.
SO that the production varies, but not
more so than the wheat or corn CROP

Rabbit Chased to Town.

G%reyhounds madly pursued a large
%jackrabbit into the front door of
Bert Clouse's restaurant at Miller,
resulting in a wild scattering of pref
ty girls, china dishes and boarders.
The rabbit was grabbed up by a six
year-old, who exclaimed Roosevelt
won't get this rabbit! and he'd bet
ter get his dogs out of here" The
scared creature was later loosened
before the hounds on the street, but
it was too timid to owe. This is
the second time a rabbit has fled
into town lately to escape the pur-
suing hounds. In each instance the
little beasts ears were laid to form
