ENTERTAINING ROYALTY.
The Task Is Always Most Trying
and Tedious One.

The Task IL Always ~ ho5h ~ AH@
and Tedious One.
1t must at times, despite the honor,
be a somewhat tedious function for n
British subject TO entertain the king,
for the house and all therein are for the
time Of the kings visit royal property.
At luncheon or dinner the host and
his guests remain standing until roy
atty appears. Then the host, If the
queen or a princess be present, escorts
her to the table. the hostess following
with the king. If the king is alone he
leads with the hostess.
Neither host nor hostess can give the
signal for leaving the table, but must
await the royal pleasure. If the queen
or princess be present, when she rises
she is followed by the hostess, who for
the moment is the lady in waiting. AS
1t is not the proper thing for a servant
to hand anything to a sovereign, when
tea or coffee is served 1t is first handed
TO the hostess, who herself offers 1t to
the king or queen. Oddly enough. fin
ger glasses at dessert are, when royal
tv dimes, placed for them only. When
the sovereign dOns wrap no servant
is permitted to help, but lady or gen
tleman must assist.
Another rule is that II there Is card
playing for money coin fresh from the
mint must be on hand for the occasion.
The guests for these royal house par
ties are selected by the royal person
ages often weeks and sometimes
months in advance, and an invitation
to them is really royal command. These
house parties are always very small,
and it goes without saying Of the very
smart set.-Philadelphia Ledger.

INDIA RUBBER.
Process of Tapping the Trees and
Preparing the Sap.


India rubber, or caoutchouc, is dry,
coagulated. milky juice, the sap Of
trees and shrubs indigenous to the
most unhealthy and inaccessible re-
gions in the equatorial countries Of
South America, in certain areas OF
west Africa and the Uganda protec-
torate. The mortality among the ma
tives in the quest for rubber Is enor-
nous. The natives are equipped for
their hunts by the brokers and venture
to the haunts Of the caoutchouc trees
in boats and by marches through miles
Of thick forests. But the climate car
ries off the rubber hunters like flies,
and the percentage of those who re-
turn from the expedition is very low.
Many properties Of vegetable emul-
sion are possessed by the sap, which
contains the caoutchouc In the form Of
myriads Of minute globules. The proc
ess of tapping the trees for the sap is
closely akin to the method Of extract
ing strip from the maple trees In
North America. The sap is collected
in large watts. The juice Is then sub
mitted to heat and smoke treatment.
A fire of palm nuts is made, and pole
is inserted in the vat containing the
viscid fluid. When withdrawn from
the vessel the end of the pole is be-
smcared with the sticky substance.
The rubber is then held in the smoke
issuing from the palm nut fire until
the sap coagulates. The treatment in
the peculiar smoke effects the curing
of the rubber.
When the operation is completed the
pole with its charge IS once more Inn
mersed in the vat of raw caoutchouc
and the smoke and heat process re-
peated and so on several times until
there is Il large knob or accumulation
of rubber upon the end Of the pole con
stituted of hundreds Of thin layers of
rubber. The end Of the pole is then
cut out Of the rubber. and the spherical
mass is duly examined by the broker
and labeled according to its quality.

CRUELTY IN JAPAN.
The People Are In Many Ways Bru-
tai and Inhuman.

The proof to my mind, that the
japanese as people are inherently
cruel lies in the fact that the grossest
inhumanitieS, such as would draw a
protesting crowd in any other country,
seem to pass absolutely unObSeved on
the streets Of japanese cities. was
asked the other day to deliver an ad-
dress before the ladies of the japanese
Society For the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in Tokyo, and at the in
slant l rather welcomed what seemed
Go me an opportunity TO tell about a
few of the atrocities l have myself
9een perpetrated during my years resi-
dence in the country, but when l out
lined my intentions l was told that
they would never do; that as for
eigner l must say only nice compli-
mentary things to my audience; l must
cOnfine myself TO stories of crueltieS in
other lands and gain my point by OBJ
serving with pride that such things
could never happen in an enlightened
land like Japan, where the people are
gentle and full Of sympathetic under
standing for the sufferings of the least
Of the creatures of earth. But it takes
longer than year, even in this coun-
try, TO learn we'll the art of indirec-
ton, so I declined the proffered honor
ON the plea of my inability TO meet the
requirements. l could not remember
ever having seen in any other country
anything that could be compared 10
the exhibitions Of brutality that are 50
common over here.
To begin with, the Japanese are cruel
TO themselves and cruel to each other,
and their standard of mercy seems TO
be so low that they cannot recognize
as cruelties things which impress us
as atrocities.
If Il member of Il family happened
to be stricken with lcprOSy or any 9th
er loathSOme and incurable disease he
or she was thrust mercileSSly from the
house and forced to 80 out on the high
ways. away from the villages, to gain

which turned my soul sick and made
me wonder if this is a civilized nation
aspiring 10 the highest ideals Of TWEEN
tieth century development.
An equally conspicuous evidence of
japanese heartleSSneSS is the manner
in which insane people are treated. Up
to a very short time ago there were no
institutions of any sort provided for
these unfortunateS, and they were con-
fined in open cages like wild beasts and
allowed to Starve and freeze or famiSh
from thirst and burn up in the hot sum
mer sun. as the case might be. Such
abioct cruelty cannot be believed Of
sane human beings, but in Japan it is
not by any means thing of the past

The Mystery of GIamis Castle.

The Mystery of CLAIMS Castle.
CLAIMS castle, in Scotland, the seat
Of the earls of Strathmore, is no longer
a place of mystery. Lord CLAIMS, the
Leir apparent to the earldom, who
came Of age recently, was not taken
to the locked chamber, tales of which
have been told for a hundred years.
Tradition says that each heir on at
tanning his majority was escorted to
the chamber by his father. When he
came out the heir was said to be trem-
bling as if with fright, or his face was
pale, as if he had suffered some great
shock. What the room contained has
never been told with authority. There
is an impression abroad, however, that
the eldest son of the eleventh earl had
been born monster or an imbecile or
was in some other way disqualified
from inheriting his fathers hOnOrs and
estates. He was accordingly made
prisoner in the castle, and his younger
BROTHER was made the heir This was
in 1901 He is supposed to have died
about fifteen or twenty years ago. The
castle has been advertised to rent with
no reservation of secret rooms or pri-
vate passages. This is regarded as
good evidence that the family no lon
ger has any secrets concealed within
its walls The passing of the CLAIMS
mystery will nevertheless be regretted

er they be sixteen or sixty years DID,

A Picfnre NIvsferN.

In a certain tall Office building in
Philadelphia is Il picture which hangs
on wall and which is never still. 1t
is suspended by a long wire and no
one has ever seen it that it has not been
swinging back and forth along the wall
like the pendulum Of Il clock. only some
times the motion is greater than at
others. Its a creepy sort Of perform
ance and makes most people who see
it feel nervous. but the man who owns
it and occupies the offices in which it
hangs refuses to take it down until the
cause of its swinging is explained, al
though the managers Of the building
have asked him to DO 50. The wall on
which this picture hangs runs north and
south, and the curious part Of it is that
other pictures on the same wall and
suspended in the same way are notion
less. This does away with any theory
that the phenomenon is due to the mo-
ton Of the earth and leaves only the
suggestion that tie length Of wire is
