| The antiquity of the Ridley family
cannot be called in question if it is
true, as recorded, that they kept a
boat of their own in the time Of the
Flood, and so were under no obliga-
tons to Noah" ~
Although this statement may be
open to criticism, is fact that the
name Ridley is found in the earliest
records, and always as belonging to
persons OF high estate and position.
What is said to be the most ancient
charter III existence, issued by king
to subject, bears date 1925, and was
given by David of Scotland to Ger
vase de Ridel.
Galfridus Ridel was Lord Justiciary
of all England, the highest office in
the gift of the Crown, and one of his
desc endants was Robert Bruce.
Walter Scott alludes in "The Lay
of the Last Minstrel to ancient
Rddell's fair domain" One strong
hold of the family was Ridley Hall,
in Northampton. Untl1ank Hall was
another residence, and there Bishop
Ridley, the martyr, was born.
Robert Glen iddell, 'the trusty,"
was a patron of Robert Burns, and
the poem, The Day Returns was
written by Burns in celebration of the
anniversary of Riddell's wedding, No
venber 7, 1888. Ridde11 was an anti
quarlan and also something of must
cian He composed airs to several of
Burns songs, including "The Blue
Eyed Lassie"
The sonnet. mo More. Ye War
blers of the Wood, No More" was
written upon the death of Riddell.
Stirring tales of cf1ivalry and ro-
nance come into the story of the Rid
legs. Galfridus Ride1, the twelfth of
that name; was one of the moss cele-
brated of troubadour poets. and his
romantic history can hardly be
Tor maiden whom he had never
seen?
Hearing continually the praises of
the beautiful Countess of Tripoli,
whose fame spread throughout
Christendom on account of her hos
pitality to the Crusaders, mis- heart
wass fired with passion ard devotion
to such an extent that, unable to bear
the torrents of absence any longer,
he started out to visit the unknown
Princess Melinsend. But the tenn
pestuous voyage was his undoing.
The Princess. being told of the trou-
badour dying for love of her, went on
board the ship and begged him to
live for her sake-so delightfully."- I'M
conventional and romantic were they
IN 1850! Not to prolong the sad tale,

For the Seashore.

The woman who expects to spend
much time at the seashore should be
sure to buy one of the large pongee
sunshades lined with green. These
have long been associated with apo
plectic Englishmen travelling in The
Far East, but, in reality, they have
no rivals i'll protecting both the eye
sight and the complexion from the
suns summer rays.
And let every woman bear in mind
that this summer the parasol's the
thing, because it is no longer good
form to return from the shore with a
new growth of skin on her nose. or
coat of tan hiding the pink and
white bloom of her cheeks. We are
back to Grandmotlrer's day of gently
cherished con1plexions, and here The
parasol plays no mean part.

Strong Fishing Tackle.

The fishing tackle shops in the At
lantic coast cities are just now look
ing forward to the busy bluefsh
season. All these places blossom
out with huge steel hooks and great
braided lines, heavy enough to hang
a man, when the blues have struck
in" The hooks, almost big enough
to serve as meat hooks in butchers
shop, have their shanks set in oval
blocks of tin or lead, known as squids;
or the more pretentious ones are set
in cigar-shaped blocks of cedar wood,
or even in pieces of mother-o f-pearl

turned to his family :
Ephraim Redlon, a powerfully bull;
young man, was one of the heroes OF
the Revolution. He aud his brother
were taken captives by the captain OF
a British ship, but were allowed the
freedom of the deck. Watching his
opportunity, when all but two men
were below, he closed and bolted the
matches, seized the two sailors, bound
them to the mast, and placed his
brother at the wheel The following
dialogue ensued between the comman-
der below and Redlon on deck.

The men began to cut away with
their axes, but Ephraim gave them
warning. The first, one of YOU

Ephraim delivered his prisoners

time received double pension for
his daring deed.
Ephraim was once on guard at Gen
eral Knox's headquarters when Wash
ington approached and was allowed
to pass without challenge. This
brought severe reprimand from
and punishment was
threatened, but averted when Redlon
assured the General that he had been
recognized
The Ridley family has wide range
in the photography of its name. Be
ginning with de Ridlegh, or de Rid
leigh, the changes are rung on this
form through Rydleigh. Rodleigh and
Ridlea. The latter is the spelling in
documents in the British Museum and
the College of Arms The list can be
extended through de Ridales, Rye

course, the second mate had to nav
damages<to the Chinese market gar
dener, besides sustaining the loss Of

There was something of the old
viking spirit in that second mate, for
the next week he was seen again on a
new wheel, and he was as devil-rnay-
care IN spirit as ever.
Common. sailors before the mast
not lnfrequently do queer things
ashore, but the case of Peters was ex-
traordlnary, as was also the manner
Ill which his shore habits became
known to his shipmates.
Sometimes, i'll the tropics, when the
watch on deck was allowed to sleep
amldshlps on the matches, the men
would be awakened by strange sounds
from ford, as if the voices of men
were floating in from the sea. One
night several of the watch determined
to investigate, SO they crept carefully
ford to the forecastle- head where
Peters was on lookout. By the light
OF full tropical moon they saw him.
He stood in strange attitude, one
arm stretched upward, the other point
ed downward in front of him. He
was talking to someone, it appeared.
The investigators crept nearer, and
heard these words:
MY lord, crave your forbearance
in behalf of this poor girl. She is in
nocent. swear it on my honor and
my sword"
The listeners gasped.
Peters has gone daft whispered
one, in an awed voice.

This U'as a Mighty Bag OF
Big Game

1t is often said that the ay of the
big game hunter in Africa is over,
now. that the continent has been par
celled out by white nations, scanned
with railroads, and more or less civil
lized. But there is still good sport
there, Judging by the experience Of
Mr.. A. c. Butler, a young Scotsman,
who recently returned to his home
after a hunting trip in Abyssinia.
According to a Scottish newspaper,
he brought with him the skins, tusks,
or skulls of thirty-nine lions, eleven
elephants, twenty-five rhinoceroses,
four leopards, and forty-two antelopes.
He shot every one of these II8 animals

the street leading out to Weikiki. lust
in front Of the Kings palace he met
"a Chinaman, followed by donkey
on whose back was strapped heavy
load of market produce. The donkey
and the Chinaman were coming down
the middle OF the gravel drive, thus
leaving a rather uncertain space on
either side. The second mate wanted
them to tack over to one side, so he
yelled hi" at the top of his voice.
The Chinaman evidently understood
hi perfectly, for he fled to the side
walk at once, but the donkey interpre-
ted the yell in another way. 1t stood
still and stared at the oncoming sec
ond mate.
The sailor passed the donkey safely
enough, and had he gone on all might
have been we'll, but he seemed to feel
that the donkey had challenged him
to do some of his remarkable cycling
feats. So he turned, and yelling hi
again, came back on the other side of
the animal. The. Chinaman also be-
came infected with the cry and
shouted "hi," too, as did a score or
more of passers-by, natives and whites.
This encouraged the mate, and he
began to maneuver about the appa-
rently petrifed donkey with DEXTER

The second mate i'll question sailed
some years ago III the San Francisco

wheel to sea with him, but he had
one ashore in Honolulu and another in
San Francisco, and whenever the ship
was loading or unloading in either
port, he put i'll all his spare time
skimming over the streets and coun-
try roads.
Most of his fifty dollars a month
went for repairs and damages. He
had altogether too daring tempera-.

always to be doing new, difficult feats
that would make the shore people
open their eyes. They did usually
open their eyes pretty wide, but not

Oarious Udys of Cooking
Mushrooms

X MUSHROOMS, like potatoes,
IN are always seasonable A
IV4 pound of mushrooms costs
more than two pounds of
beef, but it has more nourishment
than pound of beef. Besides, mush-
rooms are SO bulky that they go far
ther, as the old saying is, than the
same weight of beef.
A pound of mushrooms is enough,
when cooked, for the main luncheon
or dinner dish for three persons, while
one very hungry person would think
nothing of eating pound of beef for
dinner. That is to say, hungry man,
for women seldom eat as much as
men do
Mushrooms are not only nourishing.
but are among the most delicious of
favored foods. The only regret is that
they are an expensive luxury and be-
yond the reach of the average house
keeper. The variety known as the
meadow mushroom is the best grown
in this country.
If one is absolutely familiar with
these fungi, and there is no POSSIBLE
ity of mistaking some of the poison
Gus varieties for the edible ones, it
is all right to gather them in the fields
and meadows where they grow, but it
is always safer to buy them in the
market. Mushrooms are really so
hearty that they should take the place
of meat. and not be served with it,
as they generally are. A man must
have the stomach of all ostrich to
digest beefsteak smothered with musll-
rooms, or chickens stewed with them
There are many delicious ways OF
cooking mushrooms. Among the yery
best is cooking them under glass. AS
rule, mushrooms are served on toast
when cooked under glass, broi1ed,
fried or sauted. But they are much
better served without toast, as the
toast absorbs much of their flavor and
all of their juices.
To cook mushrooms under glass
select large. fiat ones of the meadow
variety. Cut the stems quite close to
the body, or carefully break them off,
Save the stems for soup or for stew
ing Peel the mushrooms and care
fully remove every imperfection in
each. Put enough for one portion on
the plate, season with SALT pepper and
q little hi1tter cover with the y1o &c
