Rules for Sealing Wax.

A work Of heraldry, by Paul Gruen-
del, recently published at Leipsio,
contains some information en- the sub
ject of sealing wax and the rules
governing its use in the days of old.
White wax was for the kings OF
France and later for the kings OF
Sicily. A few dukes were allowed
the high privilege, through the gen
erosity of Frederick III. Red wax
was for the Holy Father at Rome
and the German monarchs, but as a
mark of favor to the people it was
allowed to be used generally. Green
wax was for the common people,
and some cities which had been I'M
faithful to their government were
compelled ever afterward, as a mark
of their shame, to seal all public
documents with green wax. New
York Tribune.

A curioua Hotel.

There is large hotel in Colorado
which has notable feature of inter-
est in the fact that trout stream runs
right through its dining room. A
guest is allowed to take rod and line
and angle for the fish, which when
caught are cooked and served to him
at the next meal, and it is quite reg
ular custom for a guest to catch trout
for his own breakfast. Needless to
say, the stream is kept well stocked
with fish, and is great attraction to
the guests.-London Onlooker.

Australla,s Wild oysters.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as
dangerous, but they are not usually
considered savage. A Queensland
Judge, however, has decided that they
are wild beasts. Before royal com
mission on the pearling industry,
which has been sitting at Brisbane, a
witness stated that eight years ago
he had laid 100000 shells in the
neighborhood of Friday Island. The
Japanese stole the shells, and the Dis
trict Court Judge held that as pearl
shell oysters were wild animals there
was no penalty for stealing them

Ministerial Diplomacy.

At dinner given by the prime
minister of a little kingdom on the
Balkan Peninsula, a distinguished
diplomat complained to his host that
the minister of justice, who had
been sitting on his left, had stolen
his watch.
"Ah, he shouldn't have done that"
said the prime minister in tones Of
annoyance. II will get it back for
you"
Sure enough, toward the end of the
evening, the watch was returned to
its owner.
"And what did he say?" asked the
diplomat.
"sh-h," cautioned the host, glanc-
ing anxiously about him. "He doesn't
know that I have got it back" -Ev.
