GOATS AND NATIONS FATE
Bewhiskered Thibetan Animal Is
Strayed Over Line of Demarca-
ton and the War Follows.

The frontier between British India
and Thibet traverses districts where
there are mountain pastures. and the
main grievance was that certain Thib-
etan goats which were ignorant of the
line of demarcation were in the habit
of straying into British territory. What
particular harm the goats did by brows-
ing occasionally on British grass is
not very clear. In any case. the dam
age could not have been considerable.
In 1879 England went to war with Spain
on account of the ear Of certain Jenk-
ins, which had been cut of by some
Spanish officials, although 1t was con-
tended that the ear was still attached
to Jenkins head. II has. however. been
reserved to this century for England
to engage in war that promises To be
extensive, on account. professedly. of
few wandering goats.

MYSTIC WREATH EXPLAINED
Tribute to Queen Victoria at Her
Death Was Sent by Much
Admired Singer.

At the time of Queen Victoria's fu-
neral there was much comment in the
newspapers about a mysterious wreath
laid upon the coffin. 1t was one of the
finest there, but bore only the words.
90 Rest in the Lord" No name was
attached, and there was a great deal of
speculation as to who had sent it. 1t
has now been revealed that the wreath
was placed there by Queen Alexandra
on behalf of Miss Ada Crossley. the ia
nous Australian contralto Sac was
often commanded" to Windsor castle
by Queen Victoria, who greatly admired
her singing. Once she happened to
choose her majesty's favorite song 90
Rest in the Lord" The queen wept
bitterly and explained that she could
never hear that song without thinking
Of her dead husband. the prince consort,
who also had loved it dearly. This was
the reason why Miss Crossley sent the
wreath.

Reason for Kuropatkin's Plant.

Gen. Kuropatkin's complaint that his
men are too old calls attention to the
fact that the Russian system tends TO
place rather old men with the colors in
war time. The liability for service ex-
tends from the twenty-first to the forty
third year. The first four years are spen.
with the colors. and the conscript is then
a reservist for IA years. 1t is quite like
ly. therefore, that Kuroptakin has re-
ceived many reservists of about 80 years
of age. Japan's service age is from IL
to 40.
