Festivities go on through all times
of the year.
The large dinners, luncheons and
teas in the summer take place at New
port, Bar Harbor, Lenox and else
where, and any number of small al
fairs are indulged in at less we'll
known resorts and in country towns.
Table decorations have their part in
each. and are indeed most important.
Perhaps it is at the small events
that flowers receive due honor rather
than on the tables Of the wealth,
where there is a marked desire to
keep the decorations from detracting

their own wire frames, bat the best
thing for an amateur to do is to buy
child's umbrella and practically line

OLDEST ENGLISH PAPER.
London Gazette IL the Least Read,
but Pays 100000 Year.

The London Gazette is the Oldest
AID least read of any English neWspa-
per. 1t is at once the biggest and the
least of all English papers. for it is the
only paper in the land which changes
its size from one page To a hundred,
according to the pressure of the news.
1t is the only newspaper whose word
Is law and whose authority is accepted
In the witness box. 1t can make and
unmake bankrupts.
1t is the only paper In which certain
persons are compelled to advertise and
In which certain other persons cannot
advertise for love or money. 1t yields a
profit of 100000 a year.
Time was when the editorship of the
Gazette was one of TIE spoils of office
worth $4,000 q year. Ii was the recog-
nized reward of party services in the
press.
Under the old regime the Gazette
had besides its editor a staff of five
clerks appointed by the treasury, but
I'm 1899 the treasury remodeled the
management OF the paper, found the
staff employment elsewhere and left
the whole responsibility of the Gazette
on its publishers, Messrs. Harrison 4
Sons. The printing of the paper has
been in the Harrison family since 17I3
Absolute secrecy as to the contents
of any forthcoming Gazette prevails al
st. Martins lane. and, though there are
a thousand workers in Messrs. Harri
sons office. no item of news has ever
leaked out before its time. Every
sheet OF copy is private and confden
tial until it appears for all the world
to see The copy for the Gazette is
written i'm the government offices, of

| and is invariably returned with the
proofs Each secretary initials his
copy, and in cases of promotion in the

Turkish Coffee.

The Turkish way of making coffee
produces very different result from
that TO which we are accustomed. 4
small cOnical saucepan, holding about
two tablespoonfuls of water, is used.
The fresh roasted berry is pounded,
not ground, and about n dessertspoon-
full is put into the minute boiler, which
is then nearly filed with water and
thrust among the embers. A few sec.
onds suffice to bring 1t to boil, and
the decoction, grounds and all. Is pour
ed out into a small cup, which fits into
a brass socket like the cup of an acorn.
The Turks seem TO drink this decoc-
ton boiling hot grounds and all. They
take ii plain. Sugar and cream would
no doubt be thought to spoil 1t.
In every hut in Turkey these diminu-
tive coffee boilers may be seen suspend
ed by their long handles from the
walls. The berry Founders are also AT
hand, and n cup of coffee takes but a
few moments to produce.-American

Effect of Civilization.

The serious problem of the civiliza-

ops an amusing side. Bobtail Coyote
was sent to government school from
his reservation in the west clad in
buckskin and speaking only his mother
tongue.
He remained during the stipulated
time. gradually becoming white man
to all intents and purposes. But no
greater transformation was manifest
ed when he returned to his people than
that of his name, which had evolved
from the savage Bobtail Coyote to that
which appeared on his neatly engraved
visiting card, Robert T. Wolf-Youth's

In its strength; another, gigantic In

mere brute strength. Some engines
have lofty, almost supercilious, ex-

have an air of SNUG stoutness. Then

SIMPLICITY OF THE POPE.
Once Prepared Coffee for Guest with
His own Hands Assisted
by a Count.

One morning early, writes William
]. d. Croke, concerning the new pope.
in the Century, friend of mine, a
Venetian nobleman, called on him. Mgr.
Sarto had said mass and settled down
to work. His sisters had gone out to
mass, or for the household marketing,
which they were doing at the Rialto on
August 4, 1908. the day of wonders in
their simple life.
Has the count taken coffee?" asked
the bishop
Well to tell the truth, no, because
the business was urgent, and have
come straight from the railway station"
the guest replied.
No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto
rose and went into the kitchen. So the
bishop of ducal Mantua and his guest
might have been seen there talking and
laughing, while monsignor coaxed the
charcoal with a black kitchen fan, the
coffee fixed in tin pot on the range,
and the count got out cups and saucers,
in order to save his distinguished host
what mental service he could. Then
they had coffee together at the kitchen
table

LONDON. July G.-Seventeen sur
viyors Of the wrecked Norge were land
ed mt Aberdeen last night by the steam
trawler Largo Bay They were picked
up from one of the boats of the Norge
Six hundred and twenty-seven souls
are still missing
The contingent now being cared fol
mt Aberdeen consists Of twelve passen-
gers. the third mate of the Norge. the
quartermaster. a steward, lamp trim
mer and one Of the crew.
They drifted at the mercy Of the At
lantic for six days. When both water
and food were gone and when the oc.
cupants were almost too exhausted
even TO hope, the trawler hove in sight,
when the boat was about thirty miles
off St Kilda
Those rescued had eked out an exist
ence on two biscuits per day When
they started from the i'll fated ship
there was only one small casll of fresh
water in the boat Before the Largo
Bay fell in with them this aud the bis.
cults had been finished. and the pangs
of thirst and hunger had set in, They
weathered a gale and continued as
best they might. striving TO reach the
coast of Scotland against the heavy
seas, From strips of life belts they
constructed crude sail. The men had
scarcely strength enough to hold the
oars
When the survivors were dragged on
board the trawler the fishermen were
obliged to forcbly prevent them from
eating and drinking too much.
The third mate states that three 9th
er boats started with that rescued by
the Largo Bay. One of those contained
thirty-two persons, including several
women and children. Another boat had
fifteen men, with the second mate in
charge. Tie third boat had ten men on
board. The survivors parted company
with the three boats on July 3.
The Danish government and the
steamship company have sent out
steamship TO search the seas for the
boats, and the vessel will visit all the
islands within "A possible radius. but
the rescued at Grimsby and Storno-
way. who have gone through terri
BILE experience, believe that there is
now little ground for hope unless an
outgoing vessel should have picked up
one or more of the boats or unless the
survivors have landed at 1T. klda and

CITIZENSHIP OF INDIANS.
Legal Status of Claimants to Rights
in Choctaw and Chickasaw
Tribes.

The Choctaw and Chickasaw citizen-
ship court, created in the summer Of
1902, to pass upon the rights of court
claimants to citizenship in those ma
tions, and which has been in session
since October of that year, has rendered
its first final decision on the merits of
the cases before them. The court holds,
according to the Kansas City Journal,
that an intermarried citizen could not
marry out of the tribe. The Choctaw
council passed law that when a man,
on the death Of his Indian wife, mar
ried white woman he forfeited the
rights of citizenship. The citizenship
court holds that this would violate the
treaty of 1866, something the Choctaw
council would object to.
The court has not yet admitted any
white children of such marriages,
though 300 are seeking admission. Nor
has the court admitted any of the
claimants who seek admission on the
claim of possessing Indian blood, three
cases, involving 40 persons, having
been rejected. Eight intermarried cfti-
zens have been admitted
