RUMoRED OF

Earl Nelson. who is in his eighty
second year, is the only living peer
who was a member OF the house OF
lords when Queen Victoria came to the
throne.
King Edwards reign has by no
means brought joy to the heart OF
London tr~adespeople. A leading trade
paper laments the fact that a great
portion of the trousseau OF Princess
Margaret of Connaught was purchased
in Paris.
There is something in the soft
round cheek and the direct outlook OF
Princess Margaret's candid eyes that
recalls the early portraits of the great
queen, and there are traits OF character
that bear the same stamp, such as
t~ruthfulness, clear insight, earnest
ness of purpose, and last, not least.
Saving common sense"
England's future king, Prince Ed
sesses a child's habit of saying the I'M
expected thinG. When visiting King
Edward, the other day, the king asked
him what he was studying, and the
little prince said: "All about Perkin
Warbeck." Asked who Warbeck was,
the prince replied: "He pretended he
was the son of the king, but he wasn't;
he was the son of respectable parents"
There is a singular coincidence
about the two English royal pr~incesses
named Louise. They are both the
daughters of British monarchs, they
are of very fair complexion and both
married out of the blood royal. Each
also selected Scottish peers-the dukes
of Argyll and Fife-botn of whom are
as fair-skinned as their wives. Still
further goes the coincidence, for
neither of the royal duchesses has pre-
scented her husband with a male heir.

OLD-WORLD ODDITIES.

A stork walked into a church at
Roermond, Holland, the other evening,
and stood IN n leg on the top OF
the pulpit until the end of the service.
The owner of a house in a London
suburb altered the number 13 to ia.
The borough authorities objected, and,
though he pleaded that he could not
let a house numbered 13, they made
him replace the 10 on the door.
A retired army lieutenant has been
arrested at Nauplia, Greece, owing to
having predicted some weeks ago that
M. Delyannis, the premier, would be
a-ssassinated on June 10, which was
the actual date of the crime. He says
the murder was foretold to him in a
dream.
Apropos of a statement that coal
would appear a strange article of diet"
a correspondent writes to the West
Minister Gazette saying that 1T is not
only children and cats who regard 1t
as a luxury, as he has an Irish water
spaniel which makes away with a num-

In the fashionable West end OF Lon
don a teacup especially made for for
June telling is being sold. The cup is
engraved on the inside with the mystic
symbols of the fortune-teller-a Dell,
heart, horse-shoes, and SO on. The tea
leaves at the bottom are twirled round
the cup, and according to the position
or objects on which they stick so is ones
fortune.
Portsmouth, England, has passed
an ordinance for the suppression OF
cock-crowing. The chicken fanciers say
it cannot be suppressed, but the Lon
don News says that a partial remedy
consists in placing a perch where the
cock roosts so high that when he stands
I'D to crow he knocks his head against
the roof and desists. A swinging
board hung over his head answers the
same purpose, it says.

BITS OF FASHION.

Black, dark blue and brown gowns
require light gloves, RULES, a light vest
or woke and un1ersleeves, but the new
millinery may correspond with the
gown. relieved with the lighter tone.
If a touch of color is needed, add a
cluster of carnations in the dress and
flowers of corresponding color to the
millinery, but no colored trimmings on
a dark gown of solid coloring.
And hats-there never were 50 many
radical changes. It's as if the whole
world millinery were in a state Of up
haaval. Big hats ppear here n there
-balf-shame-faced before the tiny, tip
tilted things we've been accustomed to
and liked for their saucy little style.
A new brown is around town-bril-
liant IN comparison with the rather
lifeless color we usually mean by
brown. 1t is especially pretty in the
horsehair hats, as the rudy tint in it
takes the light best in h%orsehair.
The revival of an old fashion is the
sailor hat with wide crown and mar
row brim. The favorite way Of trim
ming them is to drape on a veil of
mousseline de sole in inc of the new,
rich shades.
Tiny t~hree-cornered hats for wee
tots are trimmed with three prim ro-
settles of baby ribbon-one On each
place where the brim turns up.
Light weight wash lannels have
no,ka dots Of color or white embroid-
cred at regular intervals v e the
cloth.
Lots and lots of pale blue hats-the
shade that goes with everything-are
worn.
Travelling hogs are almost a part of
the travelling suit, so carefully ARE they
chosen.

Thus it came to pass that Esau re-
turned to the land of the Hittites and
took Bashemath, the daughter of Elon,
to be his wife and brought her back to
his fathers country, and. though there
was no welcome for her among his own
people, Judith was content, and the
two Hittite women sought how they
might turn the heart of Esau entirely
away from the God of his fathers and
follow only the gods which the Kit
titles worshipped. And thus it trans
pired that instead of Esau winning his
wives to the faith Of the God of Abra-
ham and Isaac, they turned his heart
after strange gods and made him an
alien to the blessing Of God, and it be-
came a great and increasing grief to
the mind Of both Isaac and Rebekah.

"A wife!" exclaimed Isaac, what

Il mean that a fair Hittite damsel

"And how came you to be among the
Hittites?" asked Rebekah. who came
in at that moment and overheard
Esau's last remark.
And while his parents listened with
sinking hearts and darkening brows,
he told the whole story.
"But, my son." demonstrated the
father, God has forbidden alliance
with the heather nations about. His
blessing cannot follow you in such
marriage"

bigoted? Are not the nations about

from among thine own people"
ooh, Esau," cried the weeping moth
er, bring not this sorrow upon US.

Esau felt annoyed by the storm OF
protest, and angrily paced back and
forth. He could not see why they felt
so. He thought the women of the ma
lions about them were as good as any
he might find at Haran. He even went
SO far in his blind %unreason as to de-
clare that the nations about them had
as good right to have their gods and
worship as did they. and as far as he
knew they were as apt to be right as
we're the children of Abraham and
Isaac.
my son, thou shalt not talk so.
Leave at once and consider thy words"
cried Isaac, now thoroughly aroused.
And Esau arose and departed to his
own tent in anger.
The days slipped by and the time
drew neal when he was to return to
claim his bride. He had. lived in hopes
that his parents would relent and. ac-
company him, for Chief Beeri was
planning to make a very great wedding
and was proudly counting ON the pres
e1ce of Esau's family.
"And will you not go with me?" said
Esau, a dark frown settling upon his
face.
I'VE cannot, my son and be faithful
to our Cod" replied Isaac. with trem-
bling voice, while tears stood in his
eyes, for it was a great grief to him
that his fayorite o should thus disre-
gard the direct command Of God.

Hittites might lose her influence and

Esau paused aud thought. What
was this step leading him to?
II agree" at last he said.
"Have you spoken to Judith, yet!
Let us see what she will say" said
the chief, rising and going to the tent
door and calling his daughter.
Judith" said the father, as the
blushing girl entered, "Esau. the son
of Isaac. wants you for his wife. Do
you agree?"
The girls head dropped modestly
and her eyes sought the floor. Her lips
moved and Esau, leaning forward to
catch the words she spoke, knew her
answer was yes by the shake of her
pretty head. He was quickly at her
side and had her in his arms, while the
father withdrew and left the lovers
alone.
