Counting a Hens Feathers.

A very unique feartner-guessing
contest was recently conducted by
a prominent company manufacturing
feed for poultry Five hundred dol
lars in prizes was offered for best
estimates, or guesBes, as to the num-
Der of feathers on a hen. The first
prize was $500.
Thousands of Guesses were re-
ceived, including some very amusing
ones. One party, who was probably
looking for some catch scheme,
estimated none at ALL" Many esti-
mates in the hundreds of thousands
were received, several in the mil

600,060,017. The correct number
was found to be $3.50. The company

HOW KING EDWARD DIMES.
Perfect Discipline Of the Palace Corps
of Cooks.

The moment that their British Ma
jesties take their seats at the table
all activity in the kitchen ceases.
Quiet reigns. The dishes are all in
their assigned places, the courses pre-
pared in the forenoon are on special
tables, in summer between blocks of
ice. The meats, fowl and delicacies
that are to be served hot need only be
put on the stove for moment to be
served when needed.
The soup which is cooked an hour
before the beginning of the dinner,
boils and bubbles, while the "hors
d'oeuvre" (the delicacy taken between
courses) is neatly arranged on small
silver platters within easy reach
either in the kitchen itself or else, as
is the case in Buckingham Palace,
brought to an ante-chamber--which
in this palace is a generous fraction
Of mile from the kitchen.
The time for the serving of the diff
ferent courses is fixed permanently,
and the arrangement works like a
clock Every kitchen servant must
appear clad in snowy linen and must
have his own wash basin and towel
close at hand
No sound is heard save the occa-

WAR WITH BAD NAMEs.
Experience Appears to Indicate That
They viii Have Bad Luck.


If one should be so bold as to char
acterize the superstitious sailor as
silly he would at once declare that
there is sufficient reason for his be-
lies and would proceed to prove that
war vessels named after singing ana
venomous things have been unlucky
and that the country should not be SO
Indifferent to the men who follow a
life on the ocean wave" as to organize
mosquito fleet.
That Snake is regarded as an I'M
fortunate name for vessel is shown
by the fact that two of that name have
been lost, one in 1881 and the other in
1847; but no vessel bearing that name
is now known to exist. Serpent,
which is only a substitute name for
Snake, is an unlucky one also, for the
one wrecked in 1892 was the fourth
British war vessel of that name to
meet the same fate. Viper has been
an Inlucky name in the British navy.
The first one was wrecked in 1880, but
the admiralty would not swerve, and
so kept the name on the list, each YES
sci meeting it's doom, and the fourth
was lost only recently. The French
navy has also been unlucky with YES
sells so named. The Viper, used in the
British service after she became a
prize from the French was lost in
1893. The second was lost year later
the third in 1897, and the fourth was
recently lost in a collision off Guern-
gey.
The Cobra, another British wax yes
sci, was lost recently at the same time
as the Viper Among other vessels
similarly named and which met fates
other than in battle are the Rattle
snake, in 1881; the Alligator, in 1882;
The Crocodile, in 1854; me Adder, in
1916; three Lizards, two Dragons and
one Basilisk. All Of these were of the
British navy. The list could be made
larger by citing the records of other
nAvies.
The Norsemen, who were so fond IF
naming their vessels against the laws
of superstition, and using hideous
heads of dragons and reptiles on their
high prows, were less unfortunate,
ann these did not meet with frequent
DISASTERS. They did have a belief,
however, that it was unlucky and a
sacrilege to select such a name as did
LorI Dunraven for his first yacht to
challenge for the Americas cup, the
Valllyrie. And this belief was
strengthened when she was sunk by
the Satanita. The second challenger
with the same name gave trouble, and
she was broken up after only a short
existence.-Navy League Journal.

NAVAJO BLANKET WEAvERs.
Tribe Has $4,000 People, and Most Of
Them are PoIyeamists.


Navajo blanket weaving was
studied at close range by P. D. Tull
on his recent six months tour to
Arizona for mis- health, says the
Spokane Spokesman-Review. Mr..
Tull, who is much improved in
health, is back to Spokane with
some fine specimens of blankets
which he personally picked up while
in the south. He said:
These Navajos are one of the
largest tribes in the country, num-
bering over $4,000 Indians. Their
reservation is equally large, and is
situated in northwestern New Mex
leo and northeastern Arizona. Out.
side of the reservation proper the
government has granted them an adj
ditional strip of forty miles wide,
known as grazing strip The tribe
is self-supporting, and while they
know little of agriculture, they own
immense herds Of cattle, horses and
sheep. 1t is from the latter that the
women spin the wool and weave the
blankets and rugs.
"The Navajos are a rowing tribe
when they settle for any time at one
place they live in a dome-shaped
building called a hogan This is
form of adobe construction, made
with poles and sticks and covered
with mud When on the move they
live in the regulation tepees. Their
nearest neighbors are the Apaches,
with whom, in the Old days, they
were often engaged in war. The
Nayajos are polygamist5, sometimes
having four or five wives. These
they buy, or trade, as they would
any other piece of property. The
squaws do most of the work. They
wash, spin and dye the wool, and
weave it on primitive looms into
quaint and artistic designs. They
never use figures of people, animals,
or birds, as do the basket weayers,
but their designs are largely geomet-
rical Red, black. orange, white and
gray are the predominating colors.
While some sqAaws may use and
repeat some characteristic design, it
is noteworthy fact that no two rugs
are ever alike. This is almost in
credible, when we consider the hun
dreds of rugs that have been made
by them
"To say nothing Of the time it
takes to wash, dye and spin their
wool, it requires about a month Of
steady work to weave a rug four by
six feet. These ar eeasily recognized
by the smaller patterns and smooth,
c'Ose weave. While the Navaios
have never been Christianized, it is
a fact of interest that the design of
the cross is seen in much of their
work. AS types they are fine look
ing Indians-strong, tall and we'll
featured, largely due to their life in
the saddle"

| a decree in the United States Circuit Court
dismissing the appellants intervening pc
tition in the case of Peter Power against

The suit originated in the District Court
Of Hennepin County Peter Power, as the
alleged owner of 100 shares Of common
stock In the Northern Pacific Company,
seeking to obtain an Injunction restrain
ing the Northern Pacific Company's d.
rectors from entering into combination

systems, which were alleged to be parallel
and competing. Power also sought to re-
strain the Northern Pacific Company from
retiring its preferred stock, amounting to
$500 600. alleging that this was being
done in the interest OF the alleged merger.
The case was removed TO the United
States Court, where the defendants con-

any stock in the Northern Pacific, and
that he had no interest in the matters
alleged in the complaint
Camille Weidenfeld, with the permission
of the Court, filed his Intervening petition
seeking to have the retirement of the
stock declared unlawful and fraudulent.

The trouble with the Coroner's office
dates back to last summer when certain
articles were missed and suspicion rested
upon one of the attaches.
PROPERTY BOOK DISAPPEARS.
Along about January 27 of this year the
| property book OF the office disappeared
| and an investigation was started to ascer-
tain where 1t had gone In this book the
record Of all property taken from the dead
| by the police and Coroner was kept. AS
| thefts had been committed, the disappear
ance of this book was obvious.
Coroner Funkhouser then decided to
| make a thorough investigation. He con-
suited Chief Of Police Kiely.
1t was decided to put Patrolman C. H.
Danie! in the office, who was instructed
to make a thorough inquiry as to missing
property. as well as to care for the rec
ords.
1t has been stated that Daniel exchanged
worthless watch for n high-priced time
piece, taken from the clothing OF a man
on whom an inquest was held.
This, according to n well-informed per-
son, was a part Of the plan mapped out
by Daniel. with the approval OF Chief
Kely and Coroner Funkhouser. for the
detection Of other guilty persons. The
watch has been turned over to Coroner
Funkhouser. 1t Is said
Then Doctor F'unkhouser demanded on
February 15 the resignation of Hayes, to
take effect on March l. Hayes says that
on February 2S or 90 FunkhOuser came to
him and withdrew his request for the
resignation.
HAYES DENIES CHARGES
'I want you to say for me-" said Hayes
last night, that the charges against me
are entirely without foundation and SO
far as 1 know all the other boys en-
ployed under the Coroner are strictly hon
est.
Said Doctor Frank Boogher last night:
81 wish it understood that Doctor Funk
houser never requested my resignation.
and I had no intimation that was to be
discharged until this morning. He wanted
other boys. Hayes and O'Keefe. refused
to do It. for, as 1 told him, could say
nothing against their conduct in the
office that would not be lie So far as
know they have been honest and have
attended to their duties.
OKeefe said: 'T visited Coroner Funk
houser in his office at 40 o'clock this
afternoon and he told me that II I would
give him what information had against
the other boys he would fix the matter
for me. I refused. telling him that all
knew about them was in their favor.
O'Keefe IS grand protector Of the

JUDGE THAYER SAYS
DECISION is FINAL

Judge Amos Thayer of the United States
Circuit Court, whose decision in the
Northern Securities case was affirmed by
the United States Supreme Court, in an
interview last evening upon the decision
of the Supreme Court. said:
From what I have seen of the decision
1t appears that all OF the points which
made in my decision have been affirmed.
Justice Harlan holds that the Northern
Securities Company is clearly a combina-
ton in restraint of trade and that 1t was
an attempt to monopollze interstate traffic.
Relative to the question raised of
State rights the decision clearly enunci-
ates that, in interstate matters, Congress
is supreme and any act in violation of
this is absolutely void
From what I have seen Of the dis
senting opinion, It appears that ii is held
that the antitrust law is purely a Grim
inai statute. and that Congress did not
enact It to prevent men from organizing
holding corporations.
The great question in this case is
