The old saying. "First come first
served" holds good when sons of the
British aristocracy make their entry
into this world. In 1891 twin sons
were born to the Countess of Clan
carty, the elder of whom made his
i~nfantile bow to the world as Lord
Kilconnel, a future double baron and
y%iscount, an earl, n marquis of Hol-

his younger brother had to content
himself with the modest appellatiOn
of Master Power Francis lie Poer

The Canadian Government House at
Ottawa, known as Rideau Hall, is a
quaint, old-fashioned palace of gray
stone, replete with queer chimmeyS,
and odd corners. 1t is on the east
bank of the wild Rideau River, and in
winter, when the trees are leaflesS, Is
in full view from the other bank. The
Canadian Government House social
functions during the season" include
a couple of dances at Christmas time,
a state ball after Easter, musicale in
the Lenten season skating and
tobogganing parties every Saturday in
winter, several garden parties in the
early summer and a never-ending
round of dinners. Many of the Gus
toms and courtesies traditional of The
old m%onarchial days are faithfully
preserved.

Five thousand dollars is about the
average cost of a dinner in the Turk
ish Sultan's palace. The meal com
prises fifty or more dishes daily and
the Sultan generally partakes of from
five to six. Every dish. before it
reaches the royal table, is tasted in
the kitchen by the royal Grand Vizier
to guard against poison. 1t is then
sealed and taken to the Sultan. The
vast cost of these repasts ONE from
the fact that the guests and retainers
who dine at the Sultan's expense
daily number several thousand.

KAISER An ART CRITIC.
Small Talks on Continental and
Canadian Affairs.

1t is well known that the German
Emperor has a fine taste in matters
of art. He has recently given a dem
0nstration of his own imperial will and
severe judgment in such matters.
Sometime ago the German Protestant
community of Moscow solicited his aid
n building a church. to be named the
Temple of SIS. Peter and Paul. His
majesty readily undertook to be re-
sponsible for all the lamps and can
delabra to be used. and asked for
their designs for these things, as well
as for n plan of the interior. On eX
animation, the Kaiser found the de
signs 81 far out of harmony with lis
owl taste and with the style Of the
building that he at once set to work
correcting AMI sketching, and when
the whole bail Iee1 made t. his al d,

Swell London Attire.

The latest notes from London state
that fashionable young men during the
spring and summer seasons have been
ideally clad in green. The outfit was
as follows: Olive green Trilby hat,
Lincoln green flannel suit like Robin
Hoods archers) with sea green stripes,
emerald green tie, pea green striped
flannel shirt with collar to match, and
sage green socks relieved with pale
green spots. The boots were to be left

The Happy Dutch Cow.

Pastoral enc are proverbial for
their quiet beauty and the spirit of
contentment which tie. breed, but you
must go to Holland TO find the highest
type of this idea.
In Holland COWS are as much a part
Of the family as the Irishman's pig,
for one member of the family always
sleeps in the stable to watch,and often
the place Is made a sort of family
sitting room.
The COW stable is generally a large
building, paved with brick, upon
which the COW lies, straw being scarce.
There is a brick paved passage down
the centre, at one end of which is a
fireplace, and the windows are COW
cred with white curtains as dainty as
those used in the house proper.
Sometimes the entire family will
gather in the stable in the evenings,
enjoying the warmth of the fire and
exchanging the talk of the day,
while the cattle, always placed with
their heads facing the central passage,
chew their cuds and seem to thorough
