Americans, odd Craze,

Some Americans have an odd craze
for believing that the rightful heirs Of
British peerages are Americans "kept
out of their own" One Of these queer
people asks me whether Jemima, the
heiress Of the Macdougal line Of Earls
Of Tobermory, was not really a daugh-
ter Of Queen Mary? Was not James
vi. a son Of fat old Lady Reres, not
Of Queen Mary? The present Duke Of
Tobermory is descended from the fifth
son of the earl Of 1715. But what be-
came of the fourth son? The peerages
say that he died young without of
spring. But did he not escape to
America" and is he not the Thomas
Robertson who married a fair colonist
in 1870. and is not a certain Robert
Thompson the son Of this Thomas Rob-
ertson, and are not his descendants
earls of Tobermory and kings Of Scot
land7 Will I not get at the family pa
pers, now kept in Melrose abbey, and
clear the matter up7 The names I here
alter, but all this tissue Of nonsense is
solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes
In the hope that some possible ]. F.
Robertson is Duke Of Tobermory.-

A Yoke That Lincoln Made.

The University of Illinois has letely
added a number of relics to its Abra-
ham Lincoln collection. Among other
treasures in the u~niversity's possession
Is an OK yoke made by Lincoln ct New
Salem, ILL.,, IN 1880. when he was TWEEN
ty-one years old. 1t remained there
until 1S49, Just after Lincoln's return
from his only term in congress. Then
Lincoln and his brother-in-law, Clark
NJ. Smith, visited New Salem together.
While there the two attended an AUG
ton sale of farm chattels, among which
was the OK yoke. When the yoke was
offered for sale it was treated as a nov
city because made by a congressman.
Lincoln acknowledged having made
the yoke, and Mr.. Smith bid it off, say
Ing cit was worth taking home as a
souvenir because made by his brother
in-law and a member Of congress-"

Frogskin For GRATING.

In a letter to the Lancet, DR.. Rank
ing Of Oxford tells of the use of frog
skin for grating. For more than
twenty years." says the physician,
'the frog has furnished me with CRAFTS
In all cases requiring such treatment.
My first use of it was in my own case.
I had suffered for nearly three years
from obstinate liberation of the skin
of the foot, which had resisted all
treatment and steadily refused to heal.
l began using CRAFTS Of frogskin in
the middle of January, 1885, and in
less than six weeks had a sound cover
Ing Of skin At the present time, more
than twent, years having elapsed, the
cicatrix is perfectly sound and has
none of the pickering and stiffness Sc
often seen In cicatrices where humak
gratis have been used" DR.. Ranking
was SO encouraged by this result that
he used frogskin in every case of the
kind after that and at a rough estimate
must have used it in some 800 or 400
cases.

Decline Of Chinese Tea.

Some interesting statistics have been
collected by Vice Consul Arnold at Flu
chau concerning the great decline in
China's tea trade. From 1878, when
tea was first introduced into England,
until 1887 China held exclusively the
tea trade Of the world. Then India be-
gan to enter the tea market. The Chi
nese trade reached high tide in 1886,
with a total export of 300 900
pounds. In 1884 China furnished about
e per cent Of the worlds total, India
and Ceylon 10 per cent and Japan and
Formosa 10 per cent. But In 1904,
when the total consumption had In
creased to ga, 100000 pounds, China
contributed only 80 per cent, India and
Ceylon 60 per cent and Japan and For
mosa 10 per cent. The decline In Chi.
ma is ascribed to careless methods Of
cultivation and preparation Of the leaf.
