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 a flunkey 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 certain gastric
strength. The other day at Centrex-
Vile. where the Light of Persia takes
his cure, 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.

The Hessian Ely.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the Oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that it's
name was given to 1t as a result of the
fact that it 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 1776. 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
it causes is about 100000 bushels
annually. or about 6 or per cent of the
total crop.-Success Magazine.

Hardanqer 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 undergarments, on the kit
chen shelves. 1t was while on a visit
to the town of Hardanger in Norway
that New York designer realized its
possibilities. She took patterns of the
work and came home and designed a
gown trimmed in Hardaneer 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-

See Beauty Only in Utility.

The idea OF beauty is peculiarly de-
veloped in the heather Esquimaux.

standpoint of utility. For instance. n

pears beautiful to him when 1t is Wis.,

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 a
rugged resemblance of the object or
animal represented, but with hideous
human face designed to represent it's
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.

SMALL BEGINNINGS OF FIRES.
uneonsidered TrifIes Frequently Cause
Aeavv Loss

Heavy Loss.
Dust is a wonderful producer of
fires. There have been instances in
postoffices where the dust of the mail
bags suspended in the rear of a close
room exploded with terrific force. Dust
explosions are of frequent occurrence
in -four and drug mills. The origin
OF many fires in tailor shops may be
traced to the so-called dry cleaning
OF clothes. A rag dipped in naphtha
Is frequently used in removing
grease spots from garments. The rag
soaked with inflamma1le fluid is
thrown upon the floor. When the shop
is closed up and the air is confined,
the naphtha- soaked material will of
itself generate fire. Bales of cotton
placed in the hold of ship are often
the cause of disastrous fires. Ere.
quently spark from a cigar finds a
resting place in cotton bale, where
it shoulders for weeks. The dark
hall in tenement houses is the indirect
originator of fires. Greasy mating
or small heaps of paper lie about. A
match not eXtinguished or a cigarette
stub is thrown down and a blaze re-.
sults.-Fire and Water.

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 We.
hicles indicate that wheels should be
made both higher and broader. In
England 1t 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
