PERFUMES FOR THE NOBILITY.
Ambassador WhiteIaw Reid Engages
Services of Earl's Son.

At one time Lady Curzon had the
reputation of spending more money
on perfumes than any other woman
in England. 1t was said that she was
more extravagant in this respect than
Queen Alexandra whose perfume bills
amounted to something like $1,000 a.
year. Now, the story goes, the Ouch
ess of RoXburgh has become the
most extravagant purchaser of per-
fumery in the land. She patronizes
the heavy-scented essences of the
East which are known to be most ex-
pensive. The cost Of her daily bath
would, 1t is said, keep middle-class
family for a week. Lady Curzon
used these same essences at one time,
but she found them SO expensive that
she decided to try cheaper extracts.
Queen Alexandra, too, has gone in
for retrenchment In the same direc-
uon, and she is now-satisfed with
the faEorite scent of the late Queen
Victoria, which was a species Of Law
ender water specia1fy prepared for
her by a chemist at Windsor. The
Princess of Wales is also extravagant
ia the use of scents and uses a spe-
cial preparation made from violets
and other carefully cultivated flowers.
Ut is strange that Lady Suffolk, for.
merly Miss Letter of Washington, dis
likes scents, considering her sisters
passion for them.
Even royalty finds 1t necessary to
yield obedience to the doctors orders.
The fat has gone forth that Queen
Alexandra must eat no more sweet
things. In consequence, a well-known
firm of London pastry cooks, who
have for many years supplied her
with confectionery and other
tempting delicacies, have had their
order cancelled. For their loss Of
trade the are consoled by the fact
that they are still allowed to display
the royal coat-of-arms, which indi-
Gates that they are under royal pat
ronage. The Queen has long been in
ordinately fond of sweets and con-
fections and has recklessly INDUCED |
her appetite for them. That has pro-
auced an accumulation of superfuous
adipose tissue which even the most |
expert of dressmakers are unable to

AN ANCIENT FOOTBALL GAME IN THE STREETS OF LONDON

took a hand in the game because of
the injuries with which 1t was at
tended was King James I. He was
patron of sport and believed in his
progeny getting plenty of excitement,
but he baked at football. 1t was too
much trouble to raise an heir to
have him twisted into a pretzel just
about the time he might be useful in
holding down the throne. James told
his son to run along and have a good
time with the boys. In fact, he wrote
down certain precepts for the young
mans guidance, but if the coach had
asked Prince Charles to ''come out
for the eleven" he would have been
met with the familiar parental OBJ
lection" of the present day, which
King James expressed as follows.
"From this count 1 debar all such
rough and violent exercise as the foot
ball, meeter for 1aming than making
able the users thereof" '''
Interfered With Archery.
Football has always had a tendency
to run foul of the law. Its original
first offence was in taking the minds
of prospective soldiers off from arch
cry, but in this it had as a side part
ner the eminently peaceful and gen
tie game of golf. In 1857 Scottish
act was passed in which the two
sports were condemned in language
as vigorous as that used by some OF
our college presidents on the same
subject, because they occupied toe
much of the time of the husky me1

President Roosevelt's attempt to
bring about revision in the rules of
the gridiron sport that it may be
played with less risk to the lives and
limbs of the contestants is after all
but revival of the caustic COM
ments of at least two English SOW
ereigns who beat the President on
the revision business by several hun
dred years. Football is one of the
oldest of all the English pastimes, and
it Is even believed that the Greeks
and Romans had q similar game.

Of those who cared more for their
own safety and that of the players
than for the final score.
AS early as 1914 football had be-
come SO popular in London as a street
game and attracted SO many disord-
chants entered a vigorous protest.
King Edward II was on the throne
then and wasted no time dining the
football coaches or arguing about
the matter. He. issued a proelama-
ton in which he said:
"Forasmuch as there is great noise
in the city caused by hustl1ng, over
large balls from which many evils
might arise, which God forbid, we
command and forbid on the half of
the King, on pain Of Imprisonment,
such games to be used in the city in
the future"
This terse and ominous declaration
forestalled by more .han five hundred
years the American legislators who
have come to the front in the past de-
cade with bills to make football IL
legal in their States.

L, l9O2, authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each 450 feet long, 76 1-S
feet wide, with a draft of a feet 6
inches. A short time after this action
OF Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one of the battleships
constructed by private parties, the
Government endeavOring to build the
other.
Government Got Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February z,
1908, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of its vessel
so much that the keel was not laid
down until March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival of necessary ma
chinery and armor plate, yet with all
Of these drawbacks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the Governmcnt-buil boat
farther advanced .oward completion
than that being erected by a private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive its christening, having been
launched August 27, 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September % of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the
Connecticut is being built is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship and it is stated that there is
still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels it is estimated
that they will be ready to go into
commission by June of next year.
Most Formidable of War S hips.
These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each will consist of four
12-inch, eight S-inch and twelve z
inch rifles; the secondary battery will
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns,
twelve 3-pounders, eight 1-pounders
and q number of rapid fire guns Of
smaller calibre. There will also be
four submerged torpedo tubes The
ships will have ample protection by
heavy armOr ranging in thickness
from nine to eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tons
displacement, with a steaming capaci-
ty, at 10 knots per hour, of 5000 miles
without recoaling. They are expect
ed, however, to make 1S knots per
hour at the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by S55 officers and
men. The contract price of the Lou
isiana is $3,990,000 while the Connect
icut is expected to cost $4,212,OOO.
