In these modern days meat is the
staff of life. and one finds that the
staff costs as much abroad as at home
although over there they do not clamor
about the price as we do. They mere
ly do without meat.
The cuts are different and called by
different names, and the grades are
endless. In England the poorest folk
can buy meat or meat bones for as low
as cents or even 2 cents a pound.
And, too, there are often poor qualities
in good cuts, and the British, with
characteristic impertinence. refer to
the worst qualities as American"
quite regardless of their origin.
The best cuts of beef cost in London
where they are given the unattrac-
tive name Of rump steak-2S to 30
cents a pound, in Paris 80 to "a, in
Berlin from 80 to 3S.
Bacon Is tremendously dear. In
France choice brands may mount to
so cents, and ordinary brands are over
80 cents. In Engand bacon is now
about 30 cents, but is rapidly mounting,
the increasing scarcity of pigs being
responsible for this.
Leg Of mutton in England costs over
20 cents, In France % to 80. Milk in
Paris Is IL cents a quart, In London
or 0. Plain water ices cost in London
50 cents a quart and ice cream $110,
the portions being always minute. "It
is bad for the health, don't y know!
What"
In England good coffee averages de-
cidedly more than in America, 80 cents
being a cheap brand. In France it is
very much dearer, 40 cents a pound
for really good blend being a bar
gain and specialize" being over GO.
All common coffees abroad are loaded
| with chicory, which costs 10 cents a
pound and adds great deepness of
color to the brew.
Good tea costs less in England
than in America. ranging from 35 to
70 cents. In France it is very high
and always medicinal in taste, and a
dealer likes to ask over SIPS a pound.
Butter ranges in all three countries
from, say, 30 to 40 cents.
Sugar in England is cents pound.
In France it is a government monopo-
ly and much higher. In London eat
ing chocolate, almost as good as the
we'll known New York or Philadelphia
makes, costs 70 cents a pound.-Robert
Shackleton in Saturday Evening Post.

Tho 1eiqht of Kings.

A remarkable feature about the
physiques of reigning European mon
archs is that they are nearly all short
er than their consorts. King George
" is several inches shorter than Queen
Mary. The German empress is tritie
taller than the kaiser, who always in
sists on the empress sitting down when
they are photographed together. Car
Nicholas II. looks quite small by the
side of the czarina. Alfonso of Spain
is a head shorter than Queen Victoria
Eugenie, and the king of Italy hardly
reaches to the shoulder of Queen Hele-
ma. The queen of Denmark, too. is a
good deal taller than her husband. Ex-
ceptions to the rule are the king of
Norway and the new king of the Bel
gians. The latter is six feet two
inches in height and the tallest king in
Europe.-London M. A. p.

VESSEL IS HURRIFDLY BEACHED
Bonita In Mimic Attack Disables Flag
ship of Flotilla-Sudden Appearance
Entirely Observation-Disclosures
Supposed to Be Far Out at Sea.

Provincetown, Mass, July 12.-The
narrow escape Of the gunboat Castine
from being sunk by the submarine
Bonita called attention todas(to the
fact that wonders in navigation be-
meath the waves are being quietly
achieved which are as great, if not as
spectacular, as the feats of aviators
which are thrilling multitudes in many
places. But as the navigators of the
submarines operate beneath the sur
face of the ocean, the attention of the
public is rarely attracted to their dar-
ing exploits.
The gunboat Castine, flagship of the
submarine flotilla, was rammed by the
submarine Bonita in the maneuvers
and was beached to prevent her from
sinking. No one on board was injured.
Two of the plates of the Castine
were loosened Her dynamo and boiler
compartments between frames No. 10
and No. 81 are flooded, but the bulk
heads are said to be holding firm.
The accident happened In mimic
attack on the Castine by the subma-
rines, the Bonita apparently misjudg-
ing the distance and striking the gun
boat with considerable force. The men
on both boats felt the impact and some
were mOmentarlly stunned. The Bonita
escaped with the slight denting of a
portion of her armOr and the loss of a
small section of her railing.
$50
tirely unexpected Several members of
the crew were in swimming when the
Bonita suddenly rose beneath the gun
boat and as she came up scraped her
whole length across the bottom of the
Castine.
Water poured into the lower engine
room and the dynamo room compart-
ments of the Castine, flooding them
and threatening to eXtinguish the fires
under the boilers. The doors of the
water tight compartments were imme-
diately closed and the Castine started
at full speed for the shore. She reached
the beach under her own steam and
rested easily in shallow water. All her
crew remain on board.
The submarines often disappear early
in the morning and do not return the
entire day, some of their maneuvers
being on the surface and some beneath
II.
At the time of the accident not a
submarine was in sight, and it was
supposed that they We're all far out in
the bay. The others did not return un-
til two or three hours after the Bonita
had struck the Castine.

President Approves Collect
Or'S GubernatOrial Boom.
DISCUSS NEW YORK SITUATION
Outlook For Republican Party This
Fall Makes Prospective Candidate
Somewhat Shy, but MIR. Taft
Takes Optimistic View.

Beverly, Mass, July 12.-Perhaps
Of New York, didn't come up to Bev-
erly to get the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Taft on his embryo gubernatorial
boom, but he got 1t just the same.
The president and the collector had
conference In one of the White
House automobiles while the chief ex-
cutive was motoring over from the
Evans cottage to the Myopia golf links.
Later at luncheon at the home of John
Hays Hammond they talked things
over once again. The president sug-
gested to Mr.. Loeb that he enter the
race. Mr.. Loeb, on the other hand,
was not enthusiastic over the prospect
at first, but later admitted that after
all the Republican party's chance of
success might be better than it looks
at present to some observers. 1t was
said that while the collector was not
an eager candidate he would hardly
refuse the nomination. According to
renaDle sources Mr.. Loeb left Beverly
for Boston and New York with the
idea of seeing Governor Hughes on
the return trip
Inc conference with President Taft,
Followed by that with the governor,
may determine his attitude. Mr..
Loebs reluctance to get into the fight
which politicians think Is coming in
New York in the fall campaign was
based upon the belief that this is not
going to be good year In New York
for Republican candidates. The presi-
dent admitted that there was some
sense in this, but was inclined to take
the view that things were not nearly
as bad as painted or as they appear
now. The opinion here Is that Mr..
Loeb will eventually find his place at
the head of the Republican ticket.
Just what President Taft might do
to aid Mr.. Loeb if he became a candi-
date is uncertain. On one of his re-
cent trips through New York state the
president told the people Of Syracuse
that he would be back there this fall
to see the state fair. This would af-
ford Mr.. Taft an excellent opportunity.
his friends say, to make his way of
thinking known. 1t is even possible
that he may make other stops in New
York If he went to Syracuse, and thus
he might find time for several
speeches, all of which might be de-
signed to help the collector and the
party.
OF other subjects of Importance the
president and Loeb had but little time
to chat.

Rabbits Breed War In Australia.

The rabbit, which overruns Austria
liza, has almost caused a civil war. In
the past certain Australians made CO.
lossal fortunes by exporting millions
Of rabbits which they secured for moth
ing. Eventually, though, it became
necessary for the government to find a
better means of exterminating this de-
structive creature, for 1t threatened to
ruin the country. A law was passed
authorizing farmers to poison the rab-
bits. Thus the rabbit exporting COM
panies were put out OF business. They
are now lighting for the repeal Of the
poisoning law.

plainly to blame for what next ensued.
