ROYAL MESSENGERS.
They Carry Other Things Besides
Government Dispatches.


Government Dispatches.
Very odd are some of the errands
done by the royal messenger service in
Great Britain. At an English seaport,
for instance. a sealed packet which
was being conveyed across the channel
TO Windsor in care of the British for
eign office became accidentally unfas-
tened in the custom house, and a guam
tity of cigars tumbled out As the
packet in question was invoiced as
containing important confidential gov
eminent dispatches" no little amuse-
ment was caused. Nothing serious,
however came of the incident for it is
a recognized rule that the king can
do no wrong" and neither, therefore,
can the kings messengers.
Besides. it is we'll understood that
the service is maintained for other
purposes than the nominal one. Dur
ing the late Queen Victoria's reign
these messengers used frequently to
carry to the continent in sealed bags
supposed to contain dispatches shirts
and collars of a special make and pat
tern for one of the British ambassa-
doris, hats and bonnets for her majes-
tvs female relatives. all sorts of Eng
lish knickknacks for the late Empress
Frederick at Berlin and even barrels
of native oysters for the embassies at
Paris and Vienna.
For many years. moreover, it was the
practice of the messengers to call each
week on their way back to England
at Brussels. where they received from
the court kitchens a box of special
biscuits of which Queen Victoria was
very fond and which she believed no.
body could make as well as the head
pastry cook of King Leopold's kitchen.
This box of biscuits was solemnly seal
ed up at the British legation with the
official seal and then conveyed with
infinite care to Windsor by way of
Dover and London.-Chicago News.

Ancient and Modern Bathing.

Soap is really quite new factor in
the worlds life. Most of our ancestors
were filthy and dissembled the fact by
the use Of sitting perfumes. Washing
ones hands, which was only done by
the very best people, meant dipping
the fingers in rose water and drying
them on napkin. Even the Romans
of the decadence, who were probably
cleaner as community than any be-
fore or since, bathed in water and rub
bed themselves with oil. 1t sounds
nasty to us, but then so does, for ex-
ample, Chinese music, which millions
Vt human beings think delightful.

BRYAN IN 1908

It is about time for the Democratic party to indicate how much Democracy it purposes to put in the national plat form of 1908, and it is also in order for Mir. William Jennings Bryan to say how much Democracy he will allow to go into that manifesto. Win the eonven- tion denounee or embrace government ownershipe' If it should denounee it in vigorous and emphatic terms will Mir Bryan accept the nomination for presi dent at its hands?
 In 1861 the party nominated war Democrat on peace platform and got beat; in 1868 they nominated a Goldbug on Greenback platform and got beat worse than ever the party had been beaten before-worse than in lSI0 even In 1872 they nominated Republican on Democratic platform and got beat more disastrously than in 1868. In 1876 they nominated Democrat on a Demo. cratic platform and elected him--some thing the party has rarely failed to ae- complish when party, the platform and the ticket were all Democratic.
 ''Government ownership" is social ism rampant. Will the party make a  Democratic platform and nominate a Socialist to head the tickets The Dem oeratie party is right up against that proposition, and has got little more than twelvemonth to weigh and con slider it. With the populace the candi- date is the platform, for every voter scrutinizes the candidate and not one of thousand reads the platform.
 It is time for the Democratic party and Mir. Bryan to have an underestimate ing. At present the party does not know where it is at. Does Mir. Bryan know where he is at!
