Plum r,.sainx .. Food.

In popular belief plum pudding,
though difficult Of digestion, contains
large proportion of nutriment The
London Lancet publishes the analysis
made of two puddings, of which one
was found to have nutrient value"
of 6S per cent and the other of SO.
1t appears that, although most agree
able as an article of food, plum pud-
ding is not quite SO concentrated a
form of diet as has been supposed, and
conjectures that 1t yields as much sus-
tenance as beefsteak are certainly not
supported by its chemical compost
tion. The amount of nitrogenous mat
ter is only moderate, and it must be re-
membered that in calculating the nu-
TRENT ratio and value all the nitrogen
has been assumed to be albuminoid.
Probably the true albuminoids and
consequently the food value are slight
ly lower than would appear from the
results; also the percentage of water
is rather large, and the quantities of
the remaining components are proper
tionately lessened.

british Local Nickname..

The residents of the English counties
have nicknames the meaning and orr
gin of which are not always obvious.
Why the inhabitants Of Liverpool
should be called "Dicky Sans is not
very clear. But nearly all the counties
have their distinctive nicknames. The
Glaswegians are "Keelies," the Lam
cashire men are "Tim Bobbins," while
the Lincolnshire folk have long been
called yellow Bellies" after the frogs
which once abounded there. Yorkshire
men, again, are everywhere "Tykes," a
nickname the etymology Of which is
not easy to trace. The inhabitants of
Suffolk are designated "Dumplings," +"
those of Kent "Hogs" and the Isle of
Wight people Calves

WHITE HOUSE STABLES.
The, First of Them Was Destroyed
by the British Troops.

The First of Them Was Destroyed
by the British Troops.
The original White House stable was
located about sixty yards south of the
White House, in which are now the
private grounds of the executive man
sion, and was the first thing destroyed
when the British captured the White
House during the war of 1912. Presi-
dents Monroe and Adams kept their
horses at livery stable, and when
General Jackson came to the White
House he had stable built at a point
some distance from the presidential
mansion. This stable was also used for
a time by President Van Buren, but
later he boarded his horses at livery
stable.
President Pierce kept his horses in q
stable which was erected in the White
House grounds at point comparative
ly but short distance from the man
sion itself. When President Buchanan
came to the White House he had the
stable enlarged, and it was again en-
larged for President Lincoln, who kept
a large number of horses. President
johnson also made use of this stable
for his horses and carriages. Up to
Lincoln's time there was no water in
the stable, save the limited supply
obtained from small well, and it was
customary to take the White House
horses to the Potomac river, fully half
a mile distant, in order that they might
be watered, and frequently the White
House carriages were taken thither to
be washed.-Outdoor Sport

An Important Announcement.

When the late Lord Lyons was Brit
ish ambassador at Paris he received q
gift of two emus. Embassies are not
exactly the place to keep such birds,
and he gave them to the Duke of Nor
folk, who then had large aviary at
Arundel castle. The duke in his turn
named the pair Lord and Lady Lyons.
Like all amateur bird fanciers, he was
eager to raise a brood of little emus.
but the birds showed no disposition to
propagate their species. The duke
finally grew weary of watching them
and left it to the keepers to bring him
immediate word of any signs of a
family. A month or two later when
the household was at lunch with sew
eral guests one Of the keepers insisted
upon access to the duke. Red, breath
less and stammering, he burst into the
dining room with "Your grace, your

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY.
rAi. Is the Most Encouraging worl

This Is the Most Encouraging Work
For the Camera Amateur.
The most encouraging out of door
subjects for the beginner in pbotogra-
ply are landscapes. The most impor.
tant point in photographing land
scape is the selection Of it; the choos-
ing of bit of scenery which, when
translated to black and white, will
form an interesting picture You must
always bear In mind that the beautiful
colors which you see in nature and
upon the ground glass will not be pres
ent in the photograph, which must
rely for its beauty upon form and light
and shade When you wish to photo
graph a landscape, take plenty of time
to think about it. After you have
chosen your subject, determine the
point of greatest interest and then de
eide whether the picture will look best
with this point directly in the center,
to one side or toward the top or bot
tom.
If you live near the spot you intend
to photograph, it will pay you to notice
at what time of year it is most beauti-
full. Some landscapes look very COM
monplace in summer, but make stun
ming pictures when half buried in the
snow. Waterfalls often look best In
early spring, because there is a greater
: volume Of water pouring over them at
that time than at any other.
A most interesting series of pictures
may be made by choosing beautiful
bit of landscape and photographing 1t
from the same point at frequent inter-
walls throughout the year. The first
picture, we will say, is taken when the
ground and trees are covered with
snow, the second when most Of the
snow is melted and the rest lies in
patches here and there and the third
when the fields are flooded with rains.
After these would come pictures show
ing the trees in bud, in leaf, in blossom,
with fruit and later dismantled with
the frosts of autumn. = Philadelphia

Ole Bull, the great violinist, was born

TRAFFIC IN SLAVES.

the Marrakesh Market.

In his article on "The Slave Market
at Marrakesh" In Harper's Magazine
S. L. Bensusan gives vivid picture of
this terrible traffic, which goes on ap-
proved by the Moroccan government
He describes the beginning of the sale
as follows:
"The crowd at the entrance parts to
the right and left to admit twelve
grave men wearing white turbans and
jellabias. They are the delals, or auc-
tioneers, and the sale is about to begin.
Slowly and impressively the delals
advance In a line to the center of the
slave market, almost up to the arcade
where the wealthy buyers sit ex-
pectant. Then the head auctioneer
lifts up his voice, and-oh, hideous
mockery of 1t ll!-he prays.
Now each delal has his people sort
ed out, and the procession begins Fol-
lowed by his bargains, he marches
round and round the market, and l un-
derstand why the dust was laid be-
fore the procession commenced. Some
of the slaves are absolutely free from
emotion of any sort. They move round
as stolidly as the blindfolded horses
that work the water wheels in gardens
beyond the town. Others feel their
position.
Twenty one dollars twenty -oner
cries the delal at whose heels the one
young and pretty woman who has not
found buyer limps painfully. She is
from the western Sudan, and her big
eyes have the terror stricken look that
reminds me of hare that was run
down by the hounds few yards from
me on the marshes near my country
home last winter.

She cannot work. Perhaps she will
