TASTE DISHES OF ROYALTY.
Peculiar Position That Is Not BY Any
Means "Snap,"

We remember being much struck.
says the Onlooker, the first time that
we dined in public with an Archbishop
by the fact that he had funkey be-
hind his chair who handed him all the
dishes. We were told it dated from
Tudor times, when John Cook poisoned
his lord and master, the Bishop of
Rochester, and was condemned to be
boiled alive, in order to repress these
foreign modes of slaughter. The Shah,
too, keeps his faster, whose life prob
ably hangs by thread. In European
travel his fate is not so dire, but he
probably requires a certain gastric
strength. The other day at Centrex-
vile, where the Light of Persia takes
his cure, a bottle Of Worcester sauce
was put on the table, and the taster-in-
ordinary was made to swallow half a
tumbler to see if it was good.

Hardaneer Embroidery.

Hardanger embroidery, which was
heralded as something new a couple
of seasons ago. and which has held its
popularity through three seasons, has
been used time out of mind by the
peasants of Norway and Sweden. 1t
may be seen there on every woman's
apron. on underearments. on the kit
chen shelves. 1t was while on a visit
TO the town of Hardanger in Norway
that a New York designer realized its
possibilities. She took patterns of the
work and came home and designed a
gown trimmed in Hardanger for So
ciety woman at Newport, and the
rage was started. The second season
other people in New York had Har.
danger, and by the next season 1t was
to be seen in every shop.-The Delin-

Safe From Lightning.

In an editorial on the havoc OF
lightning the Springfield Republican
gives the following observation which
may be of service TO all:
III you hear of a death from light
ming out OF doors. it will be found that
the chances are the person was un-
der a tree, II not there. then the like
lihood is that he was by a wire fence
or reaching up to n wire clothesline
or holding a plow with metal sinking
intd the damp earth. or in touch with
the large dam? bodies of horses or
cattle. II in the house or barn. the
victim will usually prove to have been
by an open door or window. where
pass currents of air. forming an elec.
trical conductor nearly as good some
times as one of more substantial
character, or by a chimney sinking TO
the earth and rising above the build
ing. and full OF dampness, usually in
summer; or near a sweating haymow
or load-which does much to explain
why so many barns are struck"

RITUAL OF THE ESKIMO.
Elaborate Ceremonies Held at the Re.
turn Of the Sun.

1t might be supposed that the Eski
mo were too much occupied in fortify
ing themselves against hunger and
cold to indulge in religious rites and
ceremonies. An explorer in Arctic
Alaska, however reports that the ma
tives have quite an elaborate ritual.
in the course of which huge and gro
tesque masks are used. Their princi
pal festival is held at Easter, when
they celebrate the return of the sun.
Eskimo, dressed in appropriate cos.
tunes and wearing masks, personate
the sun, the moon and various Arctic
animals, and there is much chanting
and dancing. Some Of the masks are
so heavy that they have to be suspend
ed from the roof of the house in which
the ceremonies are held, the actors
simply standing behind them and wag-
ging them from side to side. All the
masks are carved not only with q
rugged resemblance of the object or
animal represented, but with hideous
human face designed to represent its
ghost. This Is due to the Eskimo be-
lief that every animal and thing has a
spirit of human form and features. In
some cases the mask is made to open
by means of hinged doors. showing an
other mask formed like a human face
beneath.

The Hessian Fly.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that its
name was given 10 it as a result of the
fact that 1t was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the
impedimenta of the Hessian troops
sent over against the American revo-
lutionists by George III in 1876. 1t
was first noticed on Long Island, about
125 years ago, and since has spread
co-extensively with the progress OF civ
ilizatiOn and wheat growing west.
north and south. Sometimes 1t COM
pletely destroys the growing wheat in
certain sections. and the average loss
1t causes is about 40000.000 bushels
annually, or about or 7 per cent of the
total crop.-Success Magazine.

A Funny Little "FiddIer."

One of the most interesting men,
bers of the crab family is the queer
and grotesque fiddler" which lives in
burrows in the banks of creeks and
estuaries back of the beach. Into these
burrows the crab retires in autumn
and composes itself for long winter
sleep. The eye-stalks are then folded
down into sockets beneath the shell,
and the large claw rests closed and
inert against the body, while the legs
are folded up until the entire animal
is snugly closed upon itself, and it re-
the spring. Early in April the fiddlers
awaken and Immediately attend to
cleaning out their burrows. The large
claw is useless for eating. only the
small one being available for this pur-
pose. II is amusing to see the delicacy
with which this little claw feels about
and picks up the particles of vege-
table matter and places them in the
mouth. while the eyes are all the time
raised aloft on their stalks and appar-
emily looking off into the distance
The female crabs have both claws
small and of equal size, so they are
both used in feeding. and she can sat
isfy her hunger just twice as easily
and quickly as the male. These fiddler
crabs also gather food and store it in
their burrows for future use.-St
Nicholas.

Wheels for Vehicles.

Attention has been called by techni.
cal writers to the fact that the wheels
of vehicles intended for driving roads
have not kept pace in development
with the other parts of carriage me-
chanism. Experiments with heavy ve-
hicles indicate that wheels should be
made both higher and broader. In
England II has been recommended that
with a maximum axle load of eight
tons the width of tire should be about
ten and half inches. Increase of the
diameter of the wheel is said to be
more effective in preventing damage 20
roadbeds than width of tire.
