Gold Plate at Windsor.

Comparatively few people realize
how magnificent is the display of gold
plate at Windsor castle, plate which is
brought forth only on gala occasions.
Several of the objects are received by
the late queen on the occasion OF her
diamond jubilee, that from the kaiser
being Il vase about a yard in height,
with a medallion of Queen Victoria
and the number sixty in Roman num-
erals Other jubilee gifts are the two
large fiagons, the combined offering OF
the Coburg and Connaught princes and
princesses.
Then there are half a dozen large
gold salvers to adorn the sideboard,
made by George Nv. by Flaxman, says
Wonan's Life. The same monarch
owned the large gold cup which also
finds a place on the royal sideboard.
There are many large candelabra with
spreading branches and very beauti-
full centerpiece representing fountain
together with several other pieces of
gold plate. equally handsome in design
and workmanship. All these valuables
are locked away in a strong room and
are brought out only when some

DO at the present day, and they made
their long trips without provoking amy
especial comment. To-day it is looked
upon as nothing very marvellous that
birds are able to fly from America to
Asia and back again. But if we pause
to consider il the feat is really SOME
thing after all
These birds arc especially fond of
the United States army transports, fer
these ships carry many men who. de-
MED the taste for books which renders
an ocean journey less tedious and hav-
ing limited facilities for deck sport,
take to feeding the sulls as Il pastine.
When one of the big vessels leaves
the Golden Gate and passes the Faral-
lone Islands a. hundred or mora
brown bodies with long, sweeping
wings, leave their resting place and
take up their flight in the wake of
the transport.
Then some soldier who has made
the trip before says:
Here come the seagulls. Wed bet
ter feed I'm if we want quick pas
sage this trip" and many soldiers H.
wade the stewards premises and gath
err up the waste bread and victuals.
The birds seem to know when they
are to be fed, for they come flying in
ever narrowing circles until they are
within a short distance of the ship.
Then the food begins to fall in the
waters, and the brown winged forms
swoop eagerly down upon the waves
and seize what has been thrown forth.
This is continued until the food is ex-
hausted and then the soldiers go below,
leaving the gulls to get away with
their food as they fly. They never seem
to rest. these queer birds. Day after
day they follow the ship, cleaving the
air with their swift wings, flying easily
and without APPARENT effort Indeed, it
seems as if they were not made to
rest.
On the last trip of the transport Lo-
gan one Of the gulls had its wing
injured in some way and drop
ped hutterng upon the deck, its wide
goose like bill open, and strange
squawks coming from its throat.
soldier spied it, and took it to his
bunk, where he fed it daily until it be-
came strong again. Then he allowed
it to fly away. But the bird had not
forgotten it's benefactor. Every day it
would alight on the deck and allow
none save this particular man to feed
it. 1t followed the boat to Honolulu,

Her Lesson From the Sermon.
rLnndon Interior

A clergyman gives some pertinent
instances of the uneXected to be met
with in preaching. AT my time of life
I ought not to be stunned by anything.
but one day. after service, a good
woman of my flock did manage to take
nv breath away. l was preaching
about Gods wisdom in caring for us
all. and | said that the Father knows
best which of us grows better in the
sunlight and which must have the
shade. You know you plant roses in the
sun and heiotropes and geraniums
too: but if you put fuchsias to
grow you must put them in a shady
nook.
Il hoped the sermon would be COM
forting one, and after it was over, a
woman came to me her face glowing
with pleasure which was evidently
deep and true. oh doctor, 1 am SO
glad of that sermon said she, clasp
ing my hand and shaking it warmly.
Nv heart warmed as / wondered what
tender place had touched in her soul;
but my joy lasted for a. moment only.
Yes she went on fervently, ! never
knew before what was the matter with
my fuchsias.' ,si,.

Missouri, Iowa, Texas and Arkansas
Becoming Intensely Interested in the
Legislation of the Present Kansas
AssembIy-Texas May Pass Similar
Laws - Other News.

Topeka, kas., Feb. 2O.-Menbers of
receive material aid from Iowa, Mis-
souri, Texas and Arkansas, ard prob
ably other states in its war on the
Standard Oil trust
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, held an
extended conference with President
West and other officers of the Kansas
concerning legislation enacted by
Kansas While neither Wash nor
West would discuss their conference
it is known that Iowa is one CT seven
teen states which wired for q copy Of
the state refinery laws, passed by the
Kansas legislature. Democrats in the
Iowa assembly are urging similar leg
islation.
Senator Smith and other leaders who
pushed the state refinery bill thru the
Kansas assembly, believe the Missouri
legislature shortly will join Kansas in
the war ON the big trust, anc. will en-
act similar laws. This would prevent
the Standard from running its pipe line
across the Missouri line and into KAN
sas City, evading the Kansas laws.
Senator Fitzpatrick made emphatic
denial of the statement made by MIR.
O'Brien of the Standard Oil Company
to the effect that agitation against the
company was worked up by stock
boomers"
Not one man connected with the Oil
lobby is a stock boomer" said Senator
Fitzpatrick. EVERY one of them is a
legitimate oil producer actively engag-
ed in business. do not believe that
sixty-four is the correct number OF
companies operating in this Kansas
field
There are more than 1000 produce
ing wells in Kansas and the county of
Chautauqua, in which I live, already
has developed a daily production OF
more than four times the amount
which Mr.. O'Brien gives as the total
production of the Kansas OIL fields. 1t
is, no exaggeration to state that prop
critics already in operation in Kansas
within a short time could increase
their present product tenfold.

Texas May Pass Refinery Bill.

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 2O-The Texas
Legislature may pass an oil refinery
bill similar to that just passed in
Kansas. The Decker pipe line bill,
now under consideration at Austin,
seeks to protect Independent producers
from the injustice which they claim is
being practiced by the Standard Oil
Company, which controls the pipe lines
and refneries in Texas. Al confer
ence in Austin Saturday night friends
of the Decker bill decided if that meas
ure shall be defeated they will seek to
have passed a state refinery and pipe
line bill Another conference along
similar lines was held here yesterday.
Endorsement was given the state refin-
cry idea.
