MARKET QUOTATIONS
Baron HOwth'S Rat.

The story Of the luck of the Howths
Is well known. and down to very recent
times no member of that family would
permit rat to be put 10 death. 1t was
said that about the year 100 the tWen-
ty-siXth Baron Howth was giving a
banquet to his friends when a rat rush
ed into the hall, followed by several
dogs, and, jumping on the table, sat up
before Lord Howth as If appealing for
protection. He saved its life, and from
that moment it never quilted him. At
last he set out on a foreign tour, accom-
panied by his brother, who persuaded
him TO leave the rat behind.
Sitting In hotel at Marseilles,~the
door suddenly flew open, and the rat,
dripping wet, came crawling In and
went straight to the fire to dry itself.
Lord Howth's brother, enraged at the
intrusion, seized the poker and dashed
out the rats brains. You have MUIR
dered mew exclaimed Lord Howth and
instantly fell down and sIplred.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
The Kings coffee.
King Edward is becoming an in
veterate coffee drinker. Wherever
he goes his Egyptian coffee maker,
Emin Abraham, follows with his
little coffee mill and after luncheon
and dinner prepares special brew
for his majesty and the fortunate
few who are privileged to taste it.
Emin is able to hold this little mill
in his hands when grinding the ber-
ries, particular kind, and the cof-
fee is served in very small cups
which have almost the appearance
of egg cups. 1t is of course served
by Emin himself in all the glory Of
oriental drapery. The people who
have tasted the kings coffee are
very few, and not all of those adj
mire the flavor of it, though mono
would dare to say so, knowing his
majesty has such high opinion Of
its quality.-London Taller.

counts of the assassination of Minis
ter OF the Interior Won Plehve, bio
graphical sketches of the dead states.
man and comments on his character
as man. All the papers agree that
great personality has been taken off
In the midst of his work. The Novoe
Vremya says:
IN. voH Plehve was a strong, intel
lectual man, but most of all he had a
thorough insight and knew well what
particular features were wanting to
make up a true balance OF Russian
national life"
The Russ declares that the dead
minister's faithful name will live in
connection with agricultural and
peasant reforms and that it Is an in
finite pity that he was taken off in the
midst of his work, leaving his plans all
unprotected. The Novosti says:
M Won Plehve was great man,
with a passion for order, which Yves
shown in his handling of every prob
lem thrown in his way. His ability to
deal with perplexing questions touch
ing all classes of society which fell
into his hands evidenced his wonder
full strength and versatility. His death
Is a loss to our national life"
