The British banquet differs from the
American only in that the chairman
presides, but does not keep order or
announce the toasts. That is attended
to by Il professional POSTMASTER, who Is
large person with a volcanic voice.
While the guests are assembling he
stands at the doorway and announces
the names of the arrivals, who are
then greeted by the chairman and
passed into the push. When the guests
are seated he takes up his station be-
hind the chair of the presiding officer
and commands order In these terms:
my lords and gentlemen, pray you
silence We Will now listen to the toast
to his imperial majesty the German
emperor, responded to by his excel
lency the lord CHANCELLOR For the
rest the speeches drawl and drag, as
In New York, with now and then a
sparkle of wit or fash of mental en-
ergy, usually from some unexpected
quarter. The turtle soup is no better
than ours. The POSTMASTER gets $40
for a nights work.--New York World.

The Retort Genial.

A southern woman who is now past
her prime, but whose ready wit still
makes her a welcome guest wherever
she goes, tells the following story
about an encounter with what she
terms northern iceberg" She was
at musical entertainment at private
house in New York, and at the end of a
song which had been delightfully."- rem
dered she turned with an exclamation
Of pleasure to lady who sat near and
whom she knew by sight, but had
never met.
The woman addressed looked at her
In surprise for a moment and then
asked coldly, Have the pleasure of
knowing yonT'
"NO," was the answer "but l felt at
liberty to speak to you on account of
your being under such very great OBJ
legations to me-"
will you have the goodness to ex-
plain what you mean?" said the New
York woman haughtily.
Merely that refused your husband
twenty years ago." replied the lit
tie southerner as she moved away to
seek a more congenial atmosphere.

Forests Unnatural Death.

The life of nearly all forests is cut
short by fire or by the hand of the
lumberman. When a spruce forest Is
entirely destroyed by fire young
spruces do not at once spring up and
cover the burned area. The seed bear
Ing cones have been burned, and the
spores and seeds of other plants which
are readily carried by the wind find
their way in first. The task of prepar-
ing for the forest Is begun again, but
this time it is to be shorter one. The
first year after the fire mosses and
often tiny Towering plants appear.
These are replaced by the freweed
and other flowers whose seeds are pro
vided with hairs so that they reach
such places quickly. These are soon
joined by raspberries, roses and other
bushes. Among these the young seed
lings of aspens appear in very few
years. The latter grow rapidly and in
a score of years form low sunny for
est. An aspen forest makes brilliant
contrast with the dark green forests
of spruce-St. Nicholas.

of it, thus desolate, somehow hushed
the pair who walked outside. A feel
Ing of something imminent fell upon
them. 1t was hardly a surprise to find
the woman herself standing with the
gate half open or to have her beckon
them inside.
II heard what you were saying-you
two-I could not help it-there in the
raspberry thicket," she said abruptly,
then, her eyes fast on Lolita's face,
"And l had to call you in-because-
because am Gordon Fleming's wife

fresh, make bitter mistake"

with backward glance at the sleep

not what made the break l never saw
the man l loved until it was all over

man, but we did not suit. He is I'M

you must break. And l was impa-

unhappy. He could not understand my
unhappiness when he had given me SO
much. He gave me everything but

Alwyn barred his head. Lolita drew
the wasted face to her breast and held

upon it. How can 1 thank you for

The Great Lantern FLY.

One of the largest and most curious
Of the many luminous or lamp bearing
insects is the great lantern fly, a spe-
cies Of the FREELY peculiar to central
and northern South America. The
great lantern is hardly as large as the
common dragon fly or 'snake FEEDER"
but like that creature it has lacelike
wings and an elongated abdomen. In
Central America, particularly in Costa
RIGA and Panama, the Indians capture
them by thousands, using them as
decorations for their headdreSses, sad
dies, etc. The Frenchman Renard who
visited Guatemala in 1902 declared that
the Indians used lantern flies and other
luminous insects much in the same
manner that we do torches and Ian
terms and that by the light the insects
give out they were able to find their
way through dark woods and swamps.
Turkeys Way of Raising Revenue.
The land In all Turkey and her de-
tendencies belongs to the reigning sui
tan and is only occupied at his will. 1t
is divided among those who wish to
cultivate 1t at a nominal rental of one
fifth of the produce, which goes direct
ly to the crown Three-f1fths more are
taken from the lessee on other pre-
texts, all for the maintenance of the
government the pasta In each district
having the authority to lease the
ground and collect the taxes, which
may be in kind or money. If crops are
short, they take four-fifths of all the
man has in animals and even in house
hold utensils, sometimes all his possess
sions, to make up the deficiency which
Providence has withheld. Everything
that can produce, be it tree, beast,
fowl, worm or the labor of a man and
his family, Is subject to the four-ffths
tax. Those who toll at any labor or
trade other than agriculture are taxed
also pro rata according to their wages
and must pay or go to prison.-Pear-

The home of the gray parrot, an in
teresting but sadly Ill used creature, is
In sunny central Africa, from the Kon-
go and Guinea coast to the east of Lake
Nyassa. Here the pretty Pollies" fly
in hocks, as rocks and pigeons do in
England, for they are very friendly
birds The birds when caught are hud-
died together and carried to the coast.
Such as are still alive on reaching 1t
are packed, generally without mercy
or pity, in the holds of ships or are
slowed away In any corner or board
where space can be found, to suffer
torments from want of air, want of
light, want of proper food and space
to spread their wings, and, worst Of
all, lack of water, which they dearly
love. The wings of many wretched,
suffering birds brought to this country
are tied so as to prevent them from
fIuttering and spelling their beauty.
Choking, gasping, sitting from heat or
shivering with damp and cold, hum
dreds upon hundreds die on their way
to this country. 1t has been said by
famous bird faneier that hardly one in
a thousand survives the terrible suf-
ferings which gray parrots undergo on
their way from their own land to the
cage in England.-Our Animal Broth

the quality of vulgartty strongly in the

to strong and full blooded vitality,
desire for self assertion, and thus we

there are certain nations that have
been accused of many faults that yet
have never been accused Of being vul-
They have been accused of levity, of

When did Ascot races begin? They
are mentioned In the first Racing Cal
endar," published In 1927, and the
usual statement Is that they We're
founded by the Duke Of Cumberland,
uncle of George III. But an entry In
the accounts of the master of the horse
In 1872 suggests that they were found
ed by Queen Anne on Aug. 8, I'LL. The
truth, no doubt, is that Ascot races,
like many other august institutions,
gradually developed from germ, so
that it is difficult to say when they
really began. At any rate, they were
quite the sort of thing that enthusiast
of the turf, Queen Anne, would have
founded she was a thorough Stuart
in this passion. 1t was her great
grandfather, James l., who encouraged,
if he did not establish, horse racing in
Scotland and popularized it in Eng

The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills. When there are
fish in the water with them the mother
CLANS discharge the eggs which soon
hatch, but If there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason of this stra' ze behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves.
They live for a time on the mucus OF
the fish and then drop off, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitic life
is no doubt reyersion to the habit Of
some ancient ancestor.

The Bartered Briderroom.

There are held here many "cOnfden-
tial weddings" as they are called
when the ceremony is kept unusually
quiet. But sometimes they are too con-
fidential to please the relatives of the
parties. The coercion of prospective
brides under such circumstances Is a
proceeding well authenticated in fact
and fiction. A kidnapped bridegroom,
however, is unusual, though he hap
penei at St. Georges not long ago.
He was a gentleman of position, and
he wished to marry a lady who had
nursed him through an illness. There
was no cause or just impeachment save
social rank. The gentleman was de-
termined, and the lady seconded his
plans admirably. But the day and the
details leaked out, and before the time
fixed the bridegroom'S male relatives
deployed strategically through Mad
dox street and surrounded the church.
He drove up in hanson cab. With
his eyes fixed on the expectant bride,
he prepared to alight. An athletic I'M
Gle and a brother sprang forward,
thrust him back, with "Glad to meet
you, old fellow manner that deceived
the cabman. who obeyed the quick di-
rection he heard and drove the three
away. The lady, with tears in her
eyes, went into the vestry. There
will be no wedding" she said.
They've run away with him." And
that was the last ST Georges heard Of
them.--London Mail
