BOGUS BARONETS.
British Title Tansls That the Law Can
not Reach.


The departmental committee OF tho
British house Of lords while attempt
Ing TO find tho ways and means Of OBJ
Waiting the wrongful assumption OF the
title of baronet has come upon two In
terestiug discoveries that over O per
cent OF the present baronets whose IL
ties appear in "Burkc's Peerage" are

which may call the usurpers to nc

In fact anybody may put "Sir' be-

Stunning the title.
During the seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries baronetcg

of Honor--fcw escaped It. BaronetS
have been found in warehouses; and in
prisons. in every court Of English

to that Of the chancery, and, while
/ hundreds Of genuine baronets have
dropped their titles through poverty,

prevent them. Really the law may be
| said to defend them in their claim.
| These bogus baronets do not have to
prove that they came rightfully by the
title. 1t is for those who question their
right to prove that they are not entitled
to the distinction.
The departmental committee there
fore finds itself investigating most
delicate subject. 1t has been suggest
ed that the ancient court of chivalry
be revived, which should sit upon all
doubtful cases, but the commons could
never be induced to pass bill author
lzing such revival. The committee
has therefore simply pissed reso'u

ommendation OF the king, Should Is
sue his commands that no person who
is not on the official roll Of baronets
should be received at court as haroDet

Life on St. Kilda.

The medical inspector who recently

sends to the Scotsman some particu-

An Elephant Ferry.

One Of the strangest ferries in the
world Is to be found in India. A Hin
doc CHANGED TO save the life of prince
and as reward received one Of the
largest elephants in the royal stables.
But this honor caused the recipient
much an%iety, as the animals appetite
was too great for his owner to satisfy.
The Hindoos' house stood near turn
in the river, where many persons
crossed, and as the stream was at
times Il raging food, boats and men
were often carried out Of their course
On one occasion when the elephant
was bathing in the river, it suddenly
occurred to the owner to use the ami
NAL as a ferry boat. A harness was
made for the elephant, with long
rope as trace, which was fastened TO
heavy boat The latter. loaded with
passengers. was successfully towed
over the river and since that time the
animal has been source Of profit to
his owner

THE POOR CAT.
Ono Occasion When the Animal Did
Not Come Back.

Not Come Back.
When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning fgura lively If not
literally. no common back door cat
this. but one that must be buried with
all honor. The question was how and
where.
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
it sounded too much like lynching. It
was finally proposed that the father,
who had to cross ferry every day to
his place Of business. should drop 1t
overheard and as burial ut sea rath-
Pr appealed to the sentimental attitude
of the family this idea was received
favorahly.
The following morning the remains
Of the cat were made into = package
and securely tied It was a lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed so
simple at home assumed unexpected
| difficulties in the fnce OF n curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
| to put the worst construction on an ap-
Iparently mysterious action.
Finally It occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening,
and he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice in the dusk.
Through the day II occupied a corner
of his Office, and be was glad when the
time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was we'll
out in the stream and then, glancing
around fnrtively, laid his hand on the
package. Suddenly It struck him what

With smothered groan be replaced
it on the seat beside him. There was
no help for it-he would have TO carry
It home again
As he took his scat in the train that
was TO convey him the rest of the way
he placed the cat on the shelf above
his head and for the first time that
day forgot all about It, Hurrying to
get off the car when he reached his
destination, he was halted by some one
behind him, who thrust into his hand
the i'll fated package.
When he reached his house he threw
it down on a chair In the hall and went
In to supper. In the middle OF it the
maid came in and asked how she
should cook the meat he had brought
with him.
Meat he exclaimed THAT isn't
meat It's
But at this moment the maid pro-
duced the package and showed him a
choice piece OF meat. History does not
say what the man said who got the
cat.-New York Sun.

"Flight us personal matter can

MOSlEM ETIQUETTE.
Always Be In Good hunnor and Talk
Pleasant THINGS.

Here are some interesting MusSul-
man injunctions OF conyiviality. says
the London Lancet. The honor of be-
Ing served first belongs to the invited
guest who is in the possession Of any
high title or who hns in any way or
sphere distinguished himself. II the
host himself is the Oldest in the COM
pany or has any high decoration OF
merit, he must FIRST begin the meal
without delay in order not to let the
others unduly wait. 1t shows bad up
bringing to DO in a melancholy mood at
table or to speak OF dlsagrecable things
or to engage In inappropriate discus
sious on matters of religious piety.
Foremost OF all, one must always be in
good humor and talk OF pleasant things,
as did the prophet himself
You must always help yourself from
the side of the dish nearest to you and
never try TO find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other guests.
If one of the invited has not much ap-
petite, you must as. him mp to three
times with some kind chosen words TO
partake OF the meals. A longer insist
ence would cause ennui and would be
most inappropriate. You must never
stop eating before others, because in
doing SO you will embarrass them and
cause them to finish quickly In imitat-
ing you.
Never eat gluttonously. but also new
er attempt to conceal your good appe-
tite Always eat little by little. EXag-
gerated compliments are always mis-
placed The hosts duty is TO make his
guests feel "a comfortable as possible,
encouraging tho tmd and shy, 1t Is
contrary to good taste to address ana
to fix the attention Of a guest when he
is eating. Even If the host Is not ac-
customed to eat much he must always
try not to finish before others. Should
any dish be forbidden to him by his
medical attendant he certainly must
not partake Of It, but must at the same
time excuse himself before his guests.

cry movement or gesture which Is apt
