AT HOME OF HACCARD.
WHERE THE POPULAR NOVELIST SPENDS HIS SUMMER MONTHS.
Situated on the Edge of the Cli1f Over X looking the North sea--AsPlace
 of Strange Romance--Many
 Curios.

Kessingland Grange, near Lowestoft, England, is where Mir. Rider Haggard is to be found Fat home" during some of the summer months, and often we'll on into autumn. The house is quaint, queer, rambling place, where one loses ones self immediately with the greatest of ease. It has been built piecemeal. A part once formed the old coastguard station for Kessingland, while the well in another portion of the building, and also that in the neighboring house, are said to have served as the hiding place of smuggled goods in those good old days that so many sigh for. but which they would more than probably find much more uncomfortable than TO- mantle, for the jolly sinugglers" who appear so charming in a painting or novel. were by no means desirable neighbors in plain fact It seems rather curious, however, that the smugglers' hiding place. and that of their deadly enemy. the coastguard, should now be combined under one roof, and that owned by one of our greatest living ex- ponents of romance. Mir. Haggard loves to come to this breezy spot and think thoughts to the accompaniment of the roaring waves For Kessingland grange stands on the edge of the cliff immediately overlooking the great North sea. which is doing its best to de- stroy parts of the east coast, with par ticularly disastrous results to Loves toft. which can be seen about five miles away.
 Entering small hall, one is at once confronted with relics which arouse very mingled feelings. There are as- segais and weapons from South Africa, which recall to mind Mir. Haggard's de- lghtful works connected with that country. while another relic is bust of Nelson, dated 1872, carved out of one of the timbers of the Victory. In any thing connected with Nelson Norfolk man is particularly interested, and an- other of MT. Rider Haggard's most treasured treasures" is one of the huge pewter platters of the Nelson club, which was founded in Norwich for de- fensive purposes in 1906, which club, after passing through various stages, became the present Norfolk club. v These platters are engraved with Nell sons coat and motto ''Palmam qui mer-

It looks very mitch as though the stand patters were going to be forced at the coming session of congress to take their front feet out of the trough and consent to scaling down of tariff duties in line with the sentiment of countries that have to do business with the United States and with the citizens of the United States who are suffering now from the monopolies that have grown Up under protection. says a Washington writer. The wave of reciprocity has spread all over the west and the farmer with a big crop of wheat fin front of him and the cat tleman with steers to sell and export does not look forward with any satis. faction to discriminating tariff against him in the German market that will put his wheat under a handi- cap of 47 cents bushel as compared with seven other European countries and double the tariff against him on meat products. It Is, of course. known that Germany has negotiated a tariff with seven other countries in Europe containing the most favored nation clause and that she had denounced the treaty with us which will expire in consequence in March. 1906. Of course Germany has a right to frame her tariff to suit herself just as we have. but 1t is one thing for us to ex- erclse that right and another to find it exercised against us by Germany. 1t is just possible that this situation along with the Chinese boycott of American goods which cuts ts of from two big export markets. may have some effect on the high protec- tinnIsts who have turned down several very decent reciprocity treaties that have been sent them by the state de. partment. The president has said. 60 ft is reported. that he would send no more reciprocity treaties to the senate till something happened to shake them out of their self complacency that had led to the rejection of the previous treaties. 1t looks very much as though the time were at hand when he could make this move. and the chances are that he will do it

RIDER HAGGARD's SUMMER HOME. uit ferat." and round the rim is list of his most famous victories. and the date 1SO6 ....s..
 The dining room, like the rest of the house. Is plentifully hung with oriental sketches by various artists for illustrat- ing Mir. Haggard's works.
 : 1t was in this room that we had the pleasure of meeting not only Mrs. Rider Haggard and the immediate family, in which certainly must be included the dogs. whose affection for the head of the house. bore eloquent testimony to his well-known love for the dumb cre- ation," but also Mir. Haggard's eldest sister, who. with her husband. the rec tor of Ledbury, was staying for a few days at Kessingland grange.
 q taught my brother to read. and now -ah! and nowi who can number his readers2" And we went into the study and saw where SO much of the steady work. real work. is done for those read. CTS: for let no one think that a novel. and still less work on agriculture or gardening that is worth reading. is merely tossed on as the spirit moves. That anything worth doing is worth do- ing we'll is one of Mir. Haggard's notices. and he is a most palnstaking worker.
 On practical" subjects. particularly farming and the agricultural interest, Mir Rider Haggard is eloquent at once, and his wide experience in these matters gives particular weight to his opinions Though this is not the place to go Into these it Is interesting to note that. whilst Mir. Haggard is very far from endorsing the wild encomiums that i'm some quar- ters is lavished on the horny handed. z yet he is firmly of the opinion that more genuine consideration for the agrieul- tural laborer than is sometimes shown would go a considerable distance in solv. ing the difficulty. Particularly is he on advocate of back to the land. and. if it were possible. would like every la borsr to have a piece of land. however small. ~all his very own"

Tempting Tins Talked Of.

The hired help at the Hotel Went worth in Portsmouth, N. H., where the Russian and Japanese peace envoys are staying, are all exercised over a new rumor. says a Portsmouth corre- spondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin. They hear that there is to be general distribution of tips from both Russians and Japanese when the peace confer ence breaks up. But the undergrad uate who waits on the Japanese envoys won't lose any sleep if the tale doesn't turn out to be true. She gets 50 cents from the baron every meal, and often at dinner It's s1. Every girl in the room is filled with jealousy and can't sleep at nights worrying about 1t.

han to accumulate data, analyse and

than to accumulate data, anaiyse and deduce conclusions from the accumrila- ton of hard, cold facts. Up to the time of the report of the first Walker commission the complications sur rounding the political and financial conditions of the Panama enterprise seemingly made the consideration of that project by the American people an impossibility; therefore American in terests had been turned to other schemes, principally to Nicaragua which seemed the most practicable. The Investigations of the original Walker commission, composed of the flower of the engineering profession of America, were confined to considera- tlon of the comparative merits of the various general routes proposed, and had nought to do with the detailed features of any route, beyond what was necessary to arrive at the best general proposition. Careful consider ation by this commission resulted in the selection of the Nicaragua and Panama routes as most practicable ones. As the central feature of the Nicaragua route comprised an arti- fital navigabe lake ninety to one hun- dred feet above the sea, with a flight of three locks on either side of a con tinenta divide. approached by Sea level sections from either end, it was obvious that, in fairness for coinpara- tive purposes, a similar plan should be considered at Panama, embracing an artificial lake for the summit level at approximately the same elevation. the two general schemes being thus placed on a similar basis.

Dinner. Win "uurry rp. Costumes.

No, indeed. the love for dressing up" has not worn itself out in Newport. says the New York Press. Though fan cy dress dances naturally are not as much fin vogue as fin winter, fancy dress dinners are proving a delight for man. The Idea had birth in rainy day boredom fin English country houses, where guests were requested to come to dinner fin costume. The shorter time given the greater the fun. as much in- grnuity has to be used to make up a
 'ress from materials immediately at and. An unwritten law of the game
 thht there must be iio consultations viih rostuners and no unfair advan. iage taken of the resources of town. 't is astounding what original and amusing "makcIps" can be devised when time presses and dinner waits. md thc diners derive far more amuse- ment from a dinner of this kind. where ones looks depend on ones ingenuity. than from one entaiiing greater outlay.
