Three RoyaI Toasts.

The "Greville Memoirs" tells this
story of King William ~. Of England
and the Duke of Cumberland, his
brother: During dinner loud voices
we're heard, which soon became more
vehement. Both brothers had drunk
more than usual, and the duke had
lost his temper and his head Then
for the first time King William sus-
pected the idea which from that time
was never out of Duke Ernest's mind
that he ought to be the next king OF
England should no male children sur
vfve his brother, William ~. The
duke. rising. said: Call in the suit

came in and drank it. Then the duke
said. May l also, sir, propose the next
toastY Name 1t, your grace replied
the king. The kings heir proudly
said the duke, and God bless him!
"a dead silence followed Then the
king, collecting all his energies and
wits, stood up and called out, The
kings heir; God bless herr Then,
throwing the glass over his shoulder,
he turned to his brother and exclaimed.
MY crown came with lass. and my

noticed that the duke did not drink the
toast. He left the room abruptly"

A Country Of Wonders.

The story below was told by the
Hon Peter White Of Marquette, Mich,
In the course of his historical address
upon the development of the Lake Su-
perior region on the occasion Of the
Sault canal semicentennial celebra-
ton:
Some years ago, when the side wheel
er Baltimore was making very slow
progress up the lake against heavy
head wind, a Frenchman, who was a
passenger, walked out on deck just be.
fore dark, took a look at the Pictured
Rocks and was much pleased with the
view
In the morning, before breakfast.
he again came out on deck, and the
panorama astonished him.
what ees dis beautiful sight you
have here?" he asked
He was told, ''You are again looking
at Pictured Rocks"
what a great countreev' he ex-
claimed. Before you go to bed you
walk on de deck. You have a grand
view de Picture Rock. Den you go to
bed, you sleep well all night - de
steamer is go ahead all de time-you
come out on deck in de morning, you
see Picture Rock again. What big
countree you got and what big Picture

No one told the admiring Frenchman
that the captain. finding that he could
make no Roadway against the wind
and the waves, had run back to White

was then looking at the same rock

The Action Of a spinet.

The spinet instrument was an I'm
provement upon what was known as
the clavichord, the tone of which, al
though weak, was capable, unlike that
of the harpsichord or spinet, of in
crease or decrease, rejecting the finest
gradations of the touch of the player.
In this power of expression it was
without a rival until the piano was in
vented The early history of the claw
chord previous to the fifteenth century
rests in profound obscurity, but it is
said that there is one bearing the date
1920 having four octaves without the
D sharp and G sharp notes. The spinet
was the invention of the Venetian Spi-
META. The action is unique. The in
strument is similar to a small harpsi-
chord, with one string to each note.
The strings are set In vibration by
points of quilts elevated on wooden
uprights known as jacks, and the de-
preston of the keys causes the points
to pass upward, producing a tone sim
liar to that of harp. Springs are used
to draw the quilts back into position.
The keyboard is arranged in a manner
after the present modern piano.

Katona, with appalling monumental

An officer who happened to note the
excitement went to the place and failed
to see the joke, and after ordering the

was not entirely responsible for the

A new industry has been discovered
in the Calumet region which few peo-
pie know exists. There are not many
men employed but the profits are enor-
nous. and the idea has never suggest
ed itself before to the people of Ham
mond- This novel business is the
gathering and sale of waterlny
grown in the Grand Calumet river, near
Gibson, known as the locust, and which
is now being sold in Chicago for 25
cents
So rare is this specie that, it is said.
there are only two places in the world
where it is grown; in the Calumet riv-
er at Hammond and on the Nile river in
Egypt While Hammond people have
been passiveIy interested in this botan-
ical wonder. energetic men from Chi
cago have come to this region every
day, gathered boat loads of the beauti-
full flowers and sold them easily in Chi
cago for an enormous price.
Gathered Them by Hundred.
This morning George Drackert. the
police commissioner, and Captain Geo.
Hanlon went to the place on the riv-
er, where these flowers are found and
gathered, hundreds of them in a few
minutes They are now In full bloom,
and the sight is said to be of greater
beauty than any artificial garden ever
cultivated
The Hammond party watched one of
the dealers in these flowers in Chica-
go gather them up in a launch for the
days sale in Chicago. In a few minutes
he had the boat fun and was ready to
take them to the big city. where wild
flowers of any character are rare
It is believed that but few men have
awakened to the possibilities of this in
industry, which, though short lived. has
been found greatly profitable

The incorporation of the Eastern In

Gary is soon to have another railroad
which will connect Michigan City with

In The TIMES three days ago:
The company is to build steam road
sixteen miles long from the harbor here

lake, there to connect with lines reach
ing numerous factories. C. w. Hotcb-
kiss, president of the Indiana Harbor
line and closely allied with the New
York Central lines, is a resident Of
this city, and with J. S Field and other
capitalists owns the former vast Rlair
farm west of this city
The Hotchkiss-Field interests are
said to have purchased private right
of way between Gary and Michigan
City wit hthe exception of one stretch
of land adjoining the Blair farm known
as the Chicago farm. Rumors are rife
that an immense steel plant. the Chi
cago stock yards or some other big
concern. is to be located here.

Dogs Must BE MuzzIed.
The question of muzzling dogs was
again taken up. as there is much dis
satisfaction and trouble caused by bav-
in gthe animals shot down on the street
or any place they happen to be found
unmuzzIed
The sight of mans most faithful
friend being shot down before women
and children is enough to give them
a fright which is not soon forgotten.
The question was discussed pro and
con and then put to vote. The re-
suit was that it was pass ed over the
mayors veto. Now ii is up to every one
to put muzzles on their pets or run
chances Of having them shot.
