THE DECLARATION.

History Of the Immortal Documents
~: Which Made Us Free.
What has happened to the Declara-
ton of Independence since its signing
is recounted by William n. Michael,
formerly of the state department at
Washington. In 1880 congress au-
thorized "the secretary for the depart
ment Of foreign affairs" to take charge
Of 1t, along with other records, books
and papers Of the Continental congress.
The same year the department Of for
eign affairs became the department Of
state, which has, to all intents and pur-
poses, remained the depository Of the
Declaration ever since. The great
document was from 1S41 to 1877, how
ever, deposited in the patent Office, for
many years bureau Of the depart
ment Of state, and was allowed to re-
main there after the patent Office was
placed under the interior department,
the old department Of state not being
flreproof, while the patent Office build
ing was believed to be SO. After the
present fireproof state, war and navy
building was finished the Declaration
was returned to its legal depository.
Until 1894 the Declaration was
framed and displayed In steel cab
met in the library Of the department
Of state, where all visitors might see
1t, but in that year it was Theoretically
sealed In frame and placed In a
drawer Of another steel cabinet con-
structed to protect also the original
signed copy Of the constitution. Here
the Declaration still remains, locked
and sealed by order OF the late secre-
tary Hay, and it is no longer shown
to any one, except by special direction
OF the state department.--New York
Times.

A Naive PRAYER.

Just before the indecisive battle Of
Monmouth in the Revolutionary war a
brigade chaplain in Washington's army
is said to have offered up this unique
prayer:
20 Lord Of Hosts, lead forth thy
servants Of the American army to bat
tie and give them the Victory; or, If
this be not according to thy sovereign
will, then we pray thee stand neutral
and let flesh and blood decide the is
sue. "-Harper's Weekly.

CLERK WINS A FORTUNE.
Speculates in Wheat and Is Now One
Of Wichita's Richest Men.

Wichita, Kan.-From telegraph op-
orator, working on a salary of less
than 500 a month, to aff1uence and a
fortune within five years, is the record
of Arthur Pauline, who in one day
cleared s15OOOO by speculating in
wheat.
Pauline has been a resident of
Wichita about 20 years. During most
of that time he has been employed as
an operator. At spare times he did
work on the wire for commission men,
gaining an insight of the methods of
the market, which he turned to ad-
vantage when the opportunities pre-
sented themselves. AS a result, he is
to-day classed among the wealthiest
citizens Of Wichita.
Wheat was low when Pauline be-
gan to buy, around the 20 cent mark.
He held on 10 the wheat he bought
until the market was over one dollar
then he sold Something like $25, 900
was the result of his investment He
invested the proceeds in Wichita prop
eFty. That, toe, proved a good invest
ment, and he was enabled two years
later to clear 100000 by the same
method. In the recent rise of wheat
he bought for 762s cents and sold al
97T cents, clearing $150,000.

what he actually does, as for knowing
how to do it.
So great a culinary artist is not ex-
pected to produce three masterpieces
in one day. With the breakfast of the
king, which is always a modest meal,
he does not concern himself He is
not required to sleep under his mas
ter's roof like most of the royal me-
malls, but lives in a private residence
a short distance from Buckingham pal
ace. He always drives to the palace,
arriving there shortly after Il o'clock.
In his own private office, a sunny
apartment adjoining the kitchen and
overlooking lawns, he receives the
luncheon carte drawn up by Lord Far
quhar, the master of the kings house
hold, and begins his days work.
The Office of the lord steward, who
is nOminally at the head of the CASTRO
nOmic department is practically a
sinecure. 1t is at present filled by
Lord Hawkesbury, who pockets S1O.-
600 a year for drawing his salary and
looking imposing on state occasions
when his attendance is required.
If NJ Menager were capable of envy
he might occasionally envy the lord
steward. But he has declared that
he would not be happy if he were not
able to practice his art. And so far
as fame is concerned, as the kings
chef he enjoys a far greater measure
Of it than is bestowed on any figure
head functionary. Besides abundance
of leisure is allowed him in which to
cultivate his own pet hobbies or seek
gastronomic inspiration. After lunch
con is served he is free to do what he
pleases until six o'clock, when prepa-
rations for the great vent of his do
main-dinner-begi
At his command for this work are
four master cooks, and a retinue of
well-trained attendants, all clad in i'm
maculate linen. Perfect discipline
prevails among them. Clockwork reg
gularity is the rule. Each dish is be-
gun and finished within minute of
the appointed time. Few words are
spoken.
The kings kitchen contains some
thing like $4,000 worth of utensils.
There are no less than 500 pots and
pans, most of them of copper, and five
scourers are solely employed to keep
them brightly FURNISHED. There are
1000 knives, 5000 forks, and as many
spoons of various sizes used for cook
ing and kitchen purposes. For the
service of the royal table there are
5000 forks and spoons of massive sill
yer.
Like the king himself, NJ Menager is
a tactful man. He knows how to
please the women folk and the man
who does that is sure to be popular.
He has badly challenged the opinion
entertained by most exalted chefs
that women are incapable of master
ing the higher mysteries of the culin-
ary art. He encourages women cooks.
He employs several of them at Buck
ingham palace. He has declared that
there are at least half dozen women
cooks in London who are capable Of
preparing dinner fit for the king.

and handsome race, and very brave,
but, contrary to the almost universal
practice of the Africans in regions
where white rule has not been estab-
lshed, they never carry arms. On the
contrary, the implement Oftenest seen
in their hands is a hoe.
Nevertheless, they appear to have
descended from warlike ancestors, and
were probably driven southwark from
their original mountain home by some
cOnquering chief. "reminiscences of
this past may be seen in their semi
military architecture, which does not
resemble that Of any of the neighbOr-
ing peoples. At a little distance one
of their villages looks like a fortified
city.
The MOundan village, of which Lere
is an excellent type, is inclOsed by a
series of round towers connected by
walls from two or three metres in
height. Inside, parallel to the inclos-
ing walls, is a circle of cupOlas, each
one pierced with a single hole. These
are the granaries, the most important
Buildings of the town. They are erect
ed on piles supported on great stones,
which places them beyond the reach
of termites and rodents, as well as Of
dampness, and the only entrance is
through the hole il the vaulted roof.
Between the outer wall and the gran
aries are the homes of the people,
while the residence of the chief faces
the entrance.

But the real monarch of the palace
kitchen, the chief cook" as he is
officially styled in good old Anglo
Saxon, is not subject to the vicissi-
tudes Of politics. Whatever party is in
power he continues to hold his job at
his majesty's pleasure, which is just
as long as he cOntrives to satisfy his
majesty's highly cultivated epicurean
tastes.
This is a matter which really affects
the king more closely than a change
