that to 1900 and going forward at
that ratio for another two years.

single praiseworthy queen laid enough

Incident Proves That Belief Of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.

Fishing a wellknown river in Nor
way this June, one OF the tenants of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a fish of 20 pounds in the morning and
lost another, his spinning line being
broken by tho rush Of heavy fish.
Fishing with prawn the afternoon of
the same day, the same angler, in the
same pool, got into good fish at his
first cast After a long fight the fish
was gated and landed. Then was re-
vealed strange state of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; in fact the hooks were a foot or
more from it. They had caught In the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing, and was now twisted into knots
and tangles, no doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. The line had
been got rid of. AS the prawn swung
down the pool It had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and
fish (33 pounds), cast, and tackle were
recovered. We watched the incident
from the road, aud crossing the river
handled the recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length of time leave the
pool-W H., in London Field.

ALL MATTER OF PRoPINoulTY.
It is the Event Near at Hand That
Counts Most in Everything.

The death of hundreds of people in
a distant part of the country from
where we live hardly arouses more
than passing interest, and the more or
less sudden taking away OF thousands
of lives in some far remote land
evokes no more than a word of sym
pathy from those a long distance
away. But the single death near at
hand, the funeral across the street,
makes the strongest possible mark on
the mind.
PTopinquity, in that as in everything
else, is what counts. The death in the
family cuts into the heart for years.
If accompanied by details that make it
a horror, the shock often remains with
the survivors to the end of their own
lives. If the lost relative has met a
violent death, by accident or other
wise, the anguish Of those left behind
is all the more poignant and endur-
ing. Worst of all, and most lasting in
its effect upon the survivors, is the
death where unexpected financial dis
tress or ruin follows the loss of the
family head. It is a wretched home
circle for many year when the chief
is taken away, leaving only debts,
with no property, not even little in
suranoe policy behind.

Royal Chickens Of Japan

THE most beautiful and extraor-
binary chickens in the world are those
bred by the royal family of Japan, the
privilege of raising them not being
accorded to any of the Mikado's sub
jects' said Mr. l.. J. De Courcey Of
Yokohama. These chickens are cele-
brated for the wonderful growth Of
their tail feathers, a full grown roos-
ter's tail often reaching length Of
20 feet The tail is OF a lovely deep
blue shade, while the body is buff, and
about the neck is a white ring A pair
Of these chickens has been known to
sell to wealthy Englishman for
81 900 on condition that he would take
them out of the country.

fore leaving Japan that it was the in

Death by Lightning.

The supreme deity in the Greek and
Roman religions, zeus or Jupiter, was
supposed to be the manipulation of the
lightning, and the person struck down
by one Of the fiery bolts was especial
ly distinguished, inasmuch as he had
been felled directly by the king Of the
gods. The dignity Of the killer was
reflected upon the killed. In addition
to this, the opinion was quite universal
that the bodies Of those -uck by
lightning were incorruptible.-New

Hav on Church Floor.

A curious custom was observed at
old Neston church on Sunday The
church is dedicated to ST. Swithin,
and on festival day the church is
strewn with hay Many years ago
some donor left a field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times a year The tenant of the
field has to supply the hay to strew
the church The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
on festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots. and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down in the church.--London

The ring began when man thrust
his finger through a hole in a pretty
shell, and later learned to make rings
of jet. The ring is very magical.
Lord Ruthven, who helped to kill Riz-
zio, gave Queen Mary a ring which
was "soVran" against poison, and she
generously replied with the present of
her fathers wonderful jeweled dagger
of French work, no longer in exist
ence. Whether Ruthven tooled with
this magnificent weapon in the affair
of Rizzio or used cheaper article is
uncertain. At all events Mary based
on the ring that was an antidote to
poison a charge of sorcery against
Ruthven. Tine judges of Jeanne dare
regarded with much suspicion her lit
tie ring of base metal, gift from her
parents, Inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
1t was usual to touch the relics of
saints with rings; Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body of
