THE CARTER.
Insignia of the Most Coveted of All
 English Orders.

Insignia of the Most Coveted of All
 English Orders.
 Although the most coveted of Eng. lish orders, the origin of the Garter is really mystery.
 Conflicting authorities assign the foundation of the order either to the 23d of April, St. Georges day, 1344, or to the same festival five years later, while the popular anecdote associated with it is that at a court ceremony a lady-either the queen, the Countess of Salisbury or the Countess of Kent happened to drop her garter, which was picked up by King Edward III, who, observing disposition to laugh among the bystanders, exclaimed in his royal displeasure, "Honi soft qui nal y pense" (disgraced be he who thinks i'll of iD.
 The reigning monarch is, of course, ex of1icio the sovereign of the Order of the Garter.
 At first the garter was made of light blue silk, but that which is now given is made of dark blue velvet. It Is worn on the left leg little below the knee.
 The Order of the Garter as an order of chivalry has very deep religious significance. It is, or should be, at- tended by religious ceremonies of a very precise and ornate character, and 1t was reported in Victoria's reign that certain nobleman hesitated as to ac- cepting the honor on account of its having been conferred on an oriental Philadelphia North Ameri-, can.

The Old Romans.

Do you know that the Roman nor tar was harder than the stones which 1t held together? It is a remarkable thing that we do not know how to make mortar like that now. And what an eye those old Romans had for po- sition: It is a pity that some historical writer doesn't write a romance with Julius Caesar as the central figure. Shakespeare seems to be the only su- thor who has done anything of that sort really well.-LOndOn Captain.

Flowers and Scents.

Chemically the same scent" says
a writer, 'may occur in plants be-
longing to widely different families.
For instance, the distinctive smell
of violets occurs also in the snow
flake, the stocks, a spurge laurel
and the blue water lily of the Nile.
On the other hand, closely allied
plants may emit scents differing
greatly in nature and appealing to
the tastes of different insects.
Among the spurge laurels one spe-
cies smells of vanilla, another OF
violets, another of lilac and yet an
other of cloves. Flowers which ex-
hale the delicious smell of honey in
the comb appeal particularly to
bees, butterflies and the moths
which fly by day, as the humming
bird, the hawk moth and the gayly
colored burnet. The coarser and
more powerful scents of the haw-
thorn and elder are the special al
lurement of the beautiful green rose
beetle and other flower loving bee
ties, while butterflies leave this class
of scents severely alone"

THE WORLD AND THE LOVER.
An Old Prover5 Thu. Is Exceedingly
Open to Question.

The whole world is proverbially
said to love a lover. Like most pro-
verbal statements, this one is ex-
ceedingly open to question. In fact,
all the evidence seems fatty the
other way. On what data, one Won
ders, did the old proverb maker
base his dictum? Surely not on
the great love stories. The world,
with its appetite for vicarious ex-
citement, likes well enough to
watch the tragic spectacle Of a
great passion. Incapable of great
feelings itself, it thrills to the
drama of them in others. 1t even
applauds their lawlessness and can
onizes their audacity. All the same,
it will not raise finger to help
while the story is in the making,
but, on the contrary, does every
thing in its power to persecute and
impede. The moment Romeo and
Juliet are safely dead in each 9TH
er's arms the world is voluble with
its sympathy, but not till it is quite
sure that its sympathy can be of no
possible service to the lovers. While
sympathy would be of some use, the
world, which is the embodied COW
ardice and can't of humanity, stands
firm with Montague and Capulet,
seniors. If the lovers win, well and
good. No one has ever denied that
the world loves success, though it
has always consistently done its
worst to prevent it. Yes, the world
loves successful love, as it fawns on
anything that has conquered it. It
loves also pity that costs it nothing.
But that it loves lover, for love of
love, is simply not true. If it were
true, there would probably have
been no love stories, for the drama
of love has mostly come Of the con-
fict between the lovers and the
world. They had to count the world
well lost to win each other. 1t was
SO in the days of Tristan and Iseult,
and so it still is in the days Of Ru-
dolph Of Bavaria.-Richard Ls Gal
lienne in Smart Set.

Life of a Watch.

The lifetime of a good watch,
says Amateur Work, is fifty years.
In its daily duties the balance Vi
brates $4,000 times every hour,
432,O00 times a day, or 157, $4,000
times year. The hairspring makes
a similar number of vibrations and
an equal number of ticks from the
escapement. If it is really a good
watch, multiply 157,6SO,OOO by so,
which gives 7,ss4OoO,O0O pulsa.
tions in fifty years. The chances
are that the watch may even then
be in serviceable condition. This il

small quantity of food that has beer

Not Too Good For the General.

It is related of General Sterling
Price that he once stopped at a
humble cabin in Missouri and asked
for supper. The good wife OF the
house was thrown into d futter OF
excitement OYER entertaining her
distinguished guest and profuss
with apologies for the not very
tempting menu, consisting OF corn
dodgers. boiled collards and wheat
coffee sweetened with sorghum. The
hungry officer ate heartily of the
coarse food. but not relishing the
over sweet coffee passed his cup,
saying:
'sNot quite so much molasses,
please"
"The idee!r gasped the loyal
hostess. "Catch me skimpin' your
sweetenin'p as she tilted the mo-
lasses Jug upward while amber ropes
of 'sweetenin' overhowed cup and
saucer and threatened disaster to
the spotless homespun cloth.

fee would be none too good for Cen

them to the king, who, always fear

conclusion that the box was none
other than an internal machine.
When the news of the real nature
of the box's contents leaked out,
however, James grew so angry at
the jeers that were leveled at him
from all parts of the kingdom that
he had the unfortunate John VIII

His Hereditary Foe.

An, Irishman, a Scotchman and
an Englishman on the unemployed
list were once tramping the coun-
try in search of work. On coming
to a field of turnips they took sew

of hunger. For this they were
dragged before the judge, who took
a lenient view of the case. Before
sentencing each to twelve lasheS on
the bare back he agreed to confer
a small favor according as each re-
quested. The Englishman asked the
favor of his overcoat, the Scotch.

Professor Peepup was busly en-

telescope, making observations OF
the movements of various planets,

voice interrupted him.

blocks, stopping at One Hundred
