EXACT OBEDIENCE.

A lady staying in hotel was
frightened by noise like that of a
person running about in room over
the one she occupied. In GLOW to
Be Happy Though Civil" Rev. D..
J. Hardy tells the story:
The noise went on at intervals for
two nights, and then changed, as if
the occupant ON the floor above had
gone mad and was skipping about.
The lady did not believe in ghosts,
but she was afraid of them, SO she
asked the proprietor to investigate
the mystery.

POULTRY. KEEPING A CRAZE
Titled Women Of Great Britain, Led
by Queen Alexandra, Are
Raising Chickens.

Lady Salisbury's success with eggs
and hens recalls to mind that poul-
try keeping is one of the crazes of
the moment. Queen Alexandra
shows the way and her Silkies have
won many prizes at the poultry
shows.
Then Lady Derby owns some of
the costliest birds in existence and a
pair of her Black Orpingtons were
sold for s1O0 at the Crystal palace.
Lady Craven is another prominent
exhibitor and her American Wyan-
dottes are of much beauty and value.
Lady Chesterfield is yet another
fancier and so are Lady Aylesford,
Lady Kathleen Pilkington, Lady
Burton and Lady Tichborne. And
in the old days Evelyn Lady Aling-
ton had the finest store of bantams
in the world at Crichel in Dorset.
In Scotland Lady Home has some
good poultry, as also Lord Rosebery,
who wins prizes with his Minorcas,
and the story goes that his old poul-
try man once in a melting mood adj
mitted: "Those birds will make
your lordship's name famous one of
these days."

THE FIRST IN LHASA.

( The Chinese invasion of Tibet re-
minds us that it was an Englishman,
Thomas Manning, a friend of
Charles Lamb, who first entered its
capital, the mysterious and forbid
den city, Lhasa. Manning set off on
his adventure without any aid from
the government, and with only a
single servant. His success was
largely due to his meeting Chinese
general on the borders of Tibet,
some of whose troops he cured of i'll
ness. In their country he Travelled
as a medical man, reaching Lhasa
i'm December, 1911. He remained
there until 1912, when by peremp-
tory orders from Picking he was
sent back to India. Manning died
in 1910, but his interesting narrative
of the journey was not published
until 1876.

wild shrieks close at hand split the

In the Absence
Of Papa

Madge Carson had been born to
heroic proportions; SO heroic, in
fact, that, to herself, she never had
seemed young.
Usually people spoke of her as a
woman self-centered and somewhat
dull, but that was because nature, or
much practice, had made her past
mistress in the art of concealing
emotion.
No one, least of all those in the
home, ever guessed that she saw the
difference between herself and her
sisters small, dainty girls with pre-
tensions to great beauty. But she
did, and if there had been time for
repining, Madge Carson would have
been an unhappy woman.
Happily, for her peace of mind,
however, she was a worker, with
boundless ambitions. By the time
her responsibilities as eldest daugh-
ter had ceased, the burdens of pop
ular physician bore heavily upon
even her strong shoulders.
DR.. Carson was accustomed to
taking her two weeks vacation at a
pretty spot on Barton bay. One
bright morning, by reason of being
an expert with the oars, and with
out any particular inconvenience or
danger to herself, she rescued boat
from drifting on the rocks just out
side of the definitely tagged chan
mel, and to her surprise found in the
bottom, limp and unconscious, a
young girl who had tainted from
fright.
Restored and duly grateful, the
young girl had been set down at the
boathouse steps, and the doctor
promptly forgot the occurrence.
Three days later she was reminded

1T WAS JOKE NUMBER SO
Systematic Professor In the Columbia
School of Mines Worsted by
Mischievous Students.

A professor in the School OF
Mines at Columbia reduced his
humor to a system and interpolated
his lecture notes with jokes which
he had numbered.
On one occasion during his abb
sence from the class a facetious sub
stitute read ahead in the lecture
notes and informed the class what
jokes to expect on the following day.
Next day the professor returned
and was talking on several forms of
q mineral when he mentioned "fooPs
gold," which was the signal to the
class that "Joke No. 3S" was due.
''This mineral, gentlemen" con-
tinued the professor, 'has been re-
sponsible for an adage- All is not
gold that glitters.
He waited for the laughter which
in previous years had always fol-
lowed. There was not sound.
'Gentlemen," said the astonished
professor, 81 don't think you under
stand me-" and he repeated the joke.
Still no laughter. In the moments
stiffness that followed small voice
in the rear of the room spoke up and
said:
"Joke No. 49,"
When the pandemonium had sub
sided the professor, struggling to
maintain his dignity, said:
Gentlemen, I cast my pearl with
the proverbial result. You are ex-
cused."

ORIGIN OF TABLE UTENSILS.
the Beginnings of Plates, Spoons
~" and Other. Articles.

A French writer attempts to trace
table utensils-most of them of re-
cent introduction-to their origin.
The Romans took their meals lying
upon very low touches, and it was
not until about the time of Charlie
magne that stand was used, around
which guests were seated on cushions,
while the table made its appearance
in the middle ages, and with it came
benches with backs. The Greeks
and Romans ate from kind of por-
ringer, yet during portion of the
middle ages slices of bread, cut
round, took the place of plates. The
spoon is very ancient, and many fine
specimens are in existence that were
used by the Egyptians in the severn
iteenth century, B. G. The knife,
though very old, had not come into
common use as table utensil in the
tenth century. The fork was abso-
lutely unknown to the Greeks and
Romans, appeared only as curiosity
in the middle ages, and was first
used upon the table by Henry III.
Drinking cups-in the middle Ages
made from metal, more or less pre-
cious-naturally date from the re-
hottest antiquity. The use of glasses
from Venice began to be general in
the fifteenth century. The salt cellar
appeared at very early date, and
occupied the place of honor at the
banquets of the Greeks and Romans,
many of them being of gold and sill
yer. The castor is probably not older
than the sixteenth century.

CONFEDERATE CRUISERS.

The question as to the number OF
craft of all kind destroyed during
the war between the states by the
Confederate cruisers may be sum-
married as follows: Ships, rs;
schooners, 60; barks, II; briggs, 80 ;
steamers, 3; gunboats, 1; pilot
boats, 2; cutters, 1. Total, 249.
Value of the same was $S,636,999.S2.
The greater part of this damage was
done by the Alabama, which single
craft practically drove the United

listence.
