With Great Ceremony.
The last royal investment was that
of the King of Spain, and the cere-
mony was performed by the Duke of
Connaught, who went to Madrid es-
pecially for the purpose. Before him
the Shah of Persia received the or
der, a special mission also travelling
to Teheran with the appropriate insig-

Nearly every ruler in Europe wears
the order, including the Gar, the en-
perors of Germany and Austria-Hun-

Greece, Sweden, Portugal and Italy,
and the kings of one or two minor
German municipalities.
Its Origin Mythical.
Although technically known as the
Order of the Garter, from the plctur-
esque but probably mythical incident
which has always been looked upon
as its origin, the decorations are not
limited to that distinctive badge.
Besides the garter, of dark blue vel
vet, edged with gold and worn below
the knee, there Is d mantle also OF
dark blue velvet, lined with taffeta
dhe mantle which is worn by the
king on state occasions, a surcoat of
crimson velvet. hood, a hat also of
black velvet, surmounted by a plume,
collar constructed Of twenty-slX
circular medals of gold, with pen
dant of st. George, a star, and q
broad dark blue ribbon passing over
the left shoulder and crossing oblique'

HOLSTERS Beconaing More Scarce

HOLSTERS Becoming More Scarce.
The Massachusetts, Board Of Fish
and Game Commissioners, in their last
report, do not give very roseate view
of the lobster Industry in that State.
The statistics gathered by the commits
sion show conclusively the great
shrinking Of the supply of Holsters.
"The outcome, the commercial ex-
tinction OF the lobster" they state, is
as sure to result as day is to follow
the night. There has been an increase
Of pots or traps per man, but falling
of in the catch per pot from thirty
three in 1908 to twenty-eight and a
half In 1905, or a decadence Of about
IA per cent. In thirteen years there
has been q decrease OF more than 60
per cent. In the catch Of Holsters per
pot"
The u. S. Fish Commission is, how
ever, taking active steps to foster and
save this industry, Just as It hiss been
instrumental In preventing the prac-
teal extinction Of many OF our best

American manufacturers in their
Efforts to expand their foreign trade
have organized what is known as the
American Floating Exposition, which
is TO be a very complete exhibit OF the
various products of American manu-

American manufacturers TO visit mer-

The floating exposition is so wide

it is stated that the tour cannot fail
Of becoming a matter OF national

the New York Commercial, are certain

of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's apt
epigram: "Politics is not outside the

ands Of infants have given up their
precious lives as a result of the inn

taken economy, which restricts the

often fails properly to guard that
line of its citizens commissary.
DR.. Mead believes there is no field
OF work where educated women are
