How Queen Ress DIned.

The setting out Of the dinner Of
Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious
function. First came a gentleman with
rod, followed by a gentleman carry
ing tablecloth, which, after they had
knelt reverently three times, was
spreal upon the table. Then came two
others, one with a rod, the other with
a saltcellar, a plate and bread. They
knelt three times, placed the things on
the table, knelt again and retired. Next
came lady in waiting, followed by a
second. The first lady, dressed in
white, after kneeling three times, ap-
preached the table and solemnly rubbed
the plates with the salt Then entered
twenty-four yeomen Of the guard clad
in scarlet and each carrying dish Of
gold. These dishes were placed upon
the table, while the lady faster gave to
each of the guards a taste from the
dish he had brought in for fear Of pos
sible poison. These guards were Sc
lected from the tallest and stoutest
men in all England. At the close Of
this ceremony number Of unmarried
ladies appeared and with great solem-
nifty lifted the various dishes and car
ried them to the queen in her private
apartments. The queen dined and sup
ped alone, with few attendants, and it
was seldom that any one was admitted
at this time, and then only at the inter-
cesslon Of some one in power.

SParceling Out de People.U

Fishing, two boys strung their big
catch on the same string. Passing q
graveyard they entered the gate to
divide the catch, dropping two fish
Just as they went inside the cemetery.
Passing, an aged negro heard the two
boys: '.II take this one, you that one:
I this one, you that one; l this one,
you that one, ETC.
The negro listened in dtsmay and
ran away as rapidly as his old legs
could carry him. He met his negro
minister, who called:
Deacon, why you run in such ter
rorY'
Declare, parson, I been down yon-
der by de graveyard and over de fence
heard de devil and de Lord parceling
put de people atween 'em." .
The parson laughed at the old mans
fright and made him go back with
him to the graveyard to convince him
Of his error
The boys were still dividing -"You
take that I take this" etc. Finally
ono boy asked, "What you going to do
with them two at the gate?'
This was more than parson or dea-
con could stand, and both ran pellmell,
neither wishing to take any further
chances, no matter what was going
on just over the fence.-Augusta (Ga.)

Coal Used by Romans,

1t IS believed by some historians that
coal was used by the Romans on the
continent and by the Britons on the is
land before the arrival of Caesar. AS
early as 1884 Henry III. granted IL
cense to dig coal near Newcastle, but
a few years later the use Of coal was
forbidden in London. the smoke being
deemed prejudicial to public health.
In 1906 the London gentry petitioned
the king against its use, declaring that
In spite Of his royal order certain ma
licious persons persisted In burning it.
Goals began to be brought from New
castle to London in 1881, during the
reign Of Richard II. BY the year 400
coal was commonly burned In London
as a fuel, though 200 years later, in
the reign Of Charles l., it's use was far
from being general throughout Eng,
land. Anthracite coal, which, except
the diamond, Is the purest form Of car
bon known, was first used by a Con-
necticut blacksmith named Gore in
1853 and as domestic fuel by Judge
Jesse Fell Of Wilkesbarre, Pa, in 1903.

Heart Disease and sudden Death.

It Is fair to assume that the strain on

sponsible. In view Of the fierce COM
petition in life and the undue strain to

1t is of the highest Importance that
people known to be affected with heart
disease should exercise the greatest
care as to overtaxing their physical
strength in view of the danger Of sud-
den death, instances Of which are so
common today. 1nasmuch as few peo-

q safe rule for all men over forty is to
avoid the perils Of haste and undue
strain, as In lifting, rushing, etc. An
other important factor, many people

COPIOUS RAINS Benefit
GETTING OUT LOG DRIVES
lis Said Enough Rain Fell to Swell
the Dormant River Very
DesirabIy.

The copious rains of the past week,
which were apparently of altogether
too generous proportions, have been
beneficial in one respect, at least,
that of swelling the small streams
north of Bemidji, where drives of
logs have been hung up" on account
of the scarcity of water.
1t is believed that enough rain has
fallen to move at least one drive,
that which isin the South Cormant
river, in the Red Lake Country.
There are some 100000 feet of
logs in this drive which are owned
jointly by the Grand Forks, Thief
River Falls and Crookston Lumber
companies.
The logs have been, for the most
part, lying high and dry on the
banks of the stream. The logs will
be driven down the Cormant to
Lower Red Lake, towed across Red
lake by steamboats, and driven down
the Red river to Thief River Falls,
Crookston and Grand Forks.

The Queerest Salad.

A gourmet as he mixed a salad of
chicory said: ''The worlds Queerest
salad, and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the 1noits Of northwest
Greenland. 1t is a salad of undigested
moss from the stomach Of a fresh
killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, stim-
ulating salad, as good for the diges-
ton as an electrical massage. The
1noits live almost exclusively on fish;
hence salads are a favorite dish with
them. But no salad in their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say this salad is crisper, tenderer and
more appetiz1ng than any other, and
they say it wards off indigestion. They
fight for 1t, they spend their last penny
on it, quite as the Indians do with
frewater. "-Exchange

Made the Most of His Hats,

When Lord Miner held his first re-
ception at Pretoria the officers and
legislators were given to understand
that frock coats and tall hats were ex-
pected Of them. There was only one
shop in the place In which silk hats
were sold, and this had but four of
them. The Transvaal legislators rush
ed off in body to buy these four, but
the halter, not being mad, saw his
opportunity In their extremity. He
knew there was no time to get hats
from anywhere else, SO he resolved not
to sell. He offered to let them out on
hire at the rate Of 10 shillings for ten
minutes. His shop was close at hand.
-Four gentlemen could present them
selves before his excellency After ten
minutes they must silently steal away
and hand over their hired fnery to an

Burma's Popular SPORTS.

A form Of speculation very popular IN
Burma is bull racing. A certain ma

these bulls, for which he has refused
an offer Of 10000 rupees. 1t has won
several races and is looked after and
as carefully tended as Derby favorite,
The owner values it at $4,000 rupees,
and, It Is said it brings him an annual
income Of from 10000 to $4,000 rupees.
1t Is carefully guarded by four men
lest It may be got at and "doctored."
Burmans also patronize boxing ca
gerly, but the art can scarcely be prac-
