Archduke,s Earned FIorin.

Among the requests of the Arch
duke Joseph of Austro-Hungary to his
son is "the only form I ever really
earned. 1t hangs in a gold-rimmed
tortoise shell frame above my desk
at Buda-Pesth." The archduke earned
it at Fiume by showing a French en-
gineer from Creuzot over the gardens
and greenhouses of his place there.
This person had rung at a private
gate, which the archduke opened, and,
thinking the latter stewards as
sistant or a gardener, asked him to
take him around, he understanding
that strangers were admitted to see
the grounds. Archduke Joseph rather
enjoyed the mistake and said he would
be very pleased. He talked in a plain,
blunt manner and seemed so little the
man of consequence that the visitor
on leaving presented him with a form
for the trouble he had been at.

Hard on Old ENGLAND

In England the climate is fit for
fish, the cooking for pigs, and the Gus
toms for asses. The scenery is divine,
and the women have been created for
it. but the climate has destroyed their
constitution, the cooking their diges-
ton, and the customs their character.
AS most English men and women
who have Travelled much do not hest
tate to express those opinions, 1t is
not to be wondered at that they
seize every opportunity to cross to the
Continent.-"Marmaduke" in the

A Japanese song.

Lovelier are the flowers

Snatched and whirled by the wind,
Than they that wither away on the trees
Drawer are the warriors
Who die upon the battlefield
Fighting and fighting to the LAST
Than those that die inglorious on their

The flowers that are scattered
Leave fruits delicious and sweet;
Let the warriors leave their names
And glory lasting forever after them.

orders. The government does not re-

But carriers in many sections OF the
country have adopted the suit designed
by the Block company for the rural
service. AT present each carrier who
dons uniform pays for it himself; but it
is not improbable that Uncle Sam will
provide regulation suits, in the not dis
