ROYAL ASCOT.
This Famous English Race Course
Was Queen Anne's Idea.

This Famous English Race Course
Was Queen Anne's Idea.
Ascot we'll deserves its proud prefix
"royal," for it may claim to be. the
child Of a queen, and certainly 1t has
been a prime favorite with nearly all
her successors on the throne.
1t was Queen Anne who, when she
was riding one day over Ascot COM
mon, saw what q splendid site it would
make for a race course, and she forth
with determined that course tthere
should be and that she herself would
offer a plate to be raced for. Thus 1t
came about that the London Gazette
Of July IL, I'LL, contained this an
nouncement: "Her majesty's plate Of
100 guineas will be run for round the
new heat on Ascot common, near Wind
sor, on Tuesday, Aug. Z next, by any
horse or mare, being no more than SIX
years old the grass before, carrying
twelve stone, three heats, to be entered
the last day Of July ut Mr.. Hancock's
at Fern Hill, near the starting post"
Three times that year Queen Anne
Travelled in state to see the racing on
Ascot common, and on one occasion,
we are told, she was accompanied by
Miss Forester, maid Of honor, who
was dressed like a man. with long
white riding coat, full tapped waist
coat and q small cooked hat, three cor
nered, bound with broad gold lace, the
point placed full in front over white
powdered, long flowing periwig.

According to Sven Hedin. the explor-
err, the Chinese invented the process Of
making paper. On one Of his journeys
to the interior of China he found evil
dence that paper of very fair quality
was in use by the Chinese In about
275 A. d. There is mill still stand
ing in the province of Chilitung where
paper was made In $50 A. d. and In
the village Of Langtikiang. In sub
urb Of Canton, the ancient town Of
Kwanahu, Mr.. Hedin discovered q
hand mill where paper was made from
tree leaves several hundred years be-
fore Christ. But this process was very
expensive, and the product was used
only by the very wealthy. He secured
one ancient document written on pa
per made in this hand mill. The date
Of the document is $40 B. O., figuring
on the time of the Chinese calendar.

WEALTHY ROMANS.

When l.. Calpurnius Piso was ap-
pointed governor Of Macedonia for one
year, he drew for his outfit from the
public treasury 100000 sesterces, or
f15O,OOO. He did not want the money
for that purpose. Everything required
by proconsul was supplied to him by
the province. Piso simply took the
money for himself and lent 1t out
In Rome at high interest G. Verres
was charged by Cicero with having
robbed Sicily of f350,000 In three years,
besides many valuable works OF art.
He practically admitted his guilt by
retiring from Rome without attempting
any defense. Cicero when governor OF
the poor province of Cilicia found him
self the richer in one year by 100000,
and he was perhaps the only proconsul
who ever handed over his surplus to
the state.
There can be no doubt that Cicero
and the younger Pliny received large
sums from their clients while those
clients were still living Balbus Is
not likely to have secured the argu-
ment PRO Balbo" for a mere trtfe.
And the gratitude Of Sicily for the
prosecution of Verres undoubtedly took
very substantial form. Apart from
all such honoraria, 1t Is recorded that
Cicero and the younger Pliny received
legacies from clients to the amount OF
$4,000. Gibbon tells us, on the au.

"What we need Is society men," de-
clared weary matron. "Our men are
so tagged by their attention to bust
ness that they are next to worthless.

hunt around for a spinster or widowed

"As for looking after a daughter,
their duty is done when they've given

ons his motherless daughter during an
entire season and from his knowledge
of ineligibles is able to keep her well

Going Too Long without Food.


The evil habit of going too long with.
Out food is one from which many PEG.
ole suffer in the present hurrying age.
Men sit In their Offices, women rush
about at their shopping, and both be-
come so absorbed in their interest that
the period OF hunger is allowed to pass
and the period Of fatigue and depres-
sion set in. The worst Of 1t Is that,
once the second stage Is reached, the
desire for food is gone, and after many
hours abstinence the man or woman
is too exhausted to digest meal when
either of them gets 1t. To avoid this
extreme. It is only necessary TO take
the most light and rapid repast during
the hungry stage. A glass Of milk or
merely a biscuit while hungry will pre-
rent the after loss Of appetite. -science.
