Queen Alexandra, When Godmother,
Bestows Presents Of Pearls
and Diamonds.

Much more is made in England of christ
enings than here. Nowadays the Eng
lish make social function of what for
merly was a purely religious affair;
there Is large gathering at the church
where the ceremony is performed. and
this Is followed by reception at the
home of the child's parents. The num-
Der of sponsors is no longer restricted
to two godfathers and one godmother for
a boy and one godfather for girl, but
four and even six sponsors appear.
Queen Alexandra Is often a godmother,
and her gift to her godchild is generally
q pearl and diamond pendant. Other
godmothers are giving valuable lace or
jewels, but sometimes give money in
stead, the sums varying from $3.50 to
$4,000. The nurse always receives
from them note varying from five dol
lars to 500. or bit Of handsome jewelry.
The reception following the ceremony
Is white function so far as decorations
and the gown Of the child's mother go.
The baby itself is always beautifully
dressed in slip of white satin or silk,
over which Is drawn q robe of rich lace.
Bridal wells are often draped over the
slip instead Of regular robe. Lord
and Lady Castlereagh's children were
christened in an Irish lace robe, the
work Of the lace-makers on their Irish
estate, Mount Stewart. Lady Dudley
had her first child christened draped in
the bridal veil she wore at her wedding.

ARE CALLED CAvE-DWELLERS
Old-Fashioned Customs Still Prevail
Under Peculiar Name at
Washington.

A few only Of the old customs survive,
says Ainslee's Magazine. We still sit on
the front steps when the weather per-
mits. Our carriages are still drawn up
in front of the markets on certain days
of the week. Our girls still continue
to think it is entirely proper for them
to walk through the public streets and
to the theater without, head covering.
We still persist in believing in the
primitive character and potency of the
picnic and other bucolic diversions. We
still dine in the middle of the day on
Sunday. After that you will not be
surprised to hear that our new-fangled
friends who prefer tea and bridge to
poker and mint julep call these good peo-
pie, derisively, 'cave dwellers." Gave
dwellers," "troglodytes," or by whatever
name this element in Washington So
ciety may be called by the ultra-fash-
ionables, 1t cannot be denied that 1t
furnishes an important support to the
social framework. The fashionable
element comes to-day and is gone to-
morrow. The "cave dweller" remains.
He is, naturally, an old resident Of the
place.

Books, when swords. spears, bows and
arrows were the only weapons of war,
and men slashed away at each other. It
was actually a hand-to-hand encounter
Il vas just at this time that we saw a
Russian officer rise from the ranks, and,
leaping over the dead bodies of his men
and comrades, and putting himself at
the head of the ranks, try by his daring
example to revive the spirits of his men.
Against the lurid background of blood
and fire he made superb figure, always
rushing in front OF his men. his sword
cleaning ever over the heads of the
fighting men. At last this officer rushed
out. calling always and loudly upon his
men to follow. When he was within a

order. Instead Of following at his heels
his soldiers were trampling upon each
other in the mad effort to run away. The
sight broke his heart, evidently. He

aeid against himself. An instant later
he fell with his heart pierced through.

HUNT LONG FOR RINGS.

HYDRoPHoBIA PREVENTED.
New Method Of Vaccination Which
ID Said to Be vseT
Effective.

Pasteur's vaccination method for the
prevention Of hydrophobia in people
bitten by mad dogs Is employed at the
institute for infectious diseases at Ber-
lin. The "Cultus" ministry has Just
published a statement with reference
to the cases Of persons bitten by mad
dogs which have come to the knowl-
edge Of the authorities during 1908,
and which permits judgment on the
merits Of such vaccination based upon
authentic facts. states the Scientific
American.
In the year 1903 307 persons were
bitten by 1914 mad dogs or dogs sus-
pected OF madness; in 140 of these
dogs hydrophobia was afterward
proved beyond a doubt, while IS were
found 70 be healthy; the rest could
not be examined. The 307 persons
lived in eight different provinees-226
OF them in eastern Prussia, western
east Prussia and Silesia, which are
close to Russia. Thus Russia is again
shown to be the breeding place of this
plague. OF those bitten 2S1 proceeded
to the institute for infectious diseases
and were vaccinated. Four of them
died Of hydropnobia and one recov-
cred after slight attack. Deaths took
place on the thirty-eighth, hfty-sixth,
one hundred and tenth and one hun
drsd and thirty-fifth days, respective
ly, after the bite.
Vaccination has not proved ar abso-
lutely certain remedy, even when ap-
piled right after the bite The statis-
tics show, however, that OF 2S1 per-
sons vaceinated only four died; that Is,
one and one-half per cent; while Of
those not vaccinated but treated med
ically SIX per cent. died, and of those
neither vaccinated nor treated II Der
cent. died.
In view Of these figures" the state
ment proceeds, 1T Is earnestly to be
recommended that all persons having
the misfortune to be bitten by dogs
either mad or suspected OF madness at
once submit to vaccination. The value
of such vaccination is being more and
more recognized. During the last six
years the percentage of persons bitten
who submitted to vaccination were 20,
so, 81, 7s, 80 and 80, respectively, and
1t is to be hoped that in the future
every bitten person will avail ones
self Of IT."
