l0RDLY F0RMALITIES.
Preparing Q New Peer For His Seat In
House of Lords.

Preparing q NeW Feer = or his seat In
House of Lords.
Numerous formalities have to be
gone through before any new peer is
entitled to take his seat in the house
of lords.
One Of the most important matters
is the preparation of the patent, long
strip of parchment. to the end of
which is affixed the wax seal, the color
Of which varies, according to the rank
Of the new member. Another item Is
the robe, made of scarlet cloth with
three doublings of ermine. the number
Of bars varying according to rank.
Thus a duke has four bars In front
and the same number behind, mar
quis one less. and so on.
Then there are preparations in re-
gard to making or changing coats of
arms, in connection with which fees to
the extent of about 90 guineas are paid
by the recipient of a summons to the
house of lords.
Altogether the financial disburse-
ments amount In the case of new
earl to between 1900 and f7OO, some
Of which finds its way to the chancel-
lor Of the exchequer and some to the
crown as represented by the college
Of arms, A considerable portion of
this expenditure is, of course. incurred
in the purchase Of the coronet.-Lon-

DIFFICULT TO SHOOT.
Birds That Test the Skill OF the Best
Marksmen.


Marksmen.
We often hear the question as to
which is the most difficult bird In the
world to shoot The answer Is usually
given In favor of he pheasant de.
scending with closed wings from a
higher level of flight. though a few
give the preference to the second bar
rel shot at teal scared by the discharge
Of first barrel and darting upward
and 10 any direction but that which IL
expected
A bird which we have never seen
mentioned and which yet might take a
high place IN the category Is the sand
grouse. II is not to be rated as an
English bird of sport. but is familiar
to shooters In the east. where II is shot
as 1t comes fighting TO water holes TO
drink Its flight is something like that
OF pigeon. with very swift curves
and undulations. and In its case again,
as In that of the virginian mosquito
hawk. II is said that those who have
acquired the knack can kill II with a
comparative certainty which is the de-
spair of the novice
After all perhaps our pheasant aero
planning downward must still be given
the highest marks for difficulty. for
we hear of no one who presumes to
say he has discovered any infallble
knack by which this most perplexing
and yet apparently simple shot can
be brought off with any great assur-
ance.-Country Life.

The Antiquity Of the Ballet.

Strictly defined. the ballet is proper
ly theatrical exhibition of the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, CON-
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence In Italy as far back
as A. ID. 1900, the court of Turin In
that day making especial use of 1t and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part In 1t. The ballet was first intro
duced In France in the reign of Louis
Kill, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV occasionally took part in
its dances. About the year 100 wom-
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet, which up to that time had been
performed exclusively by men, as was
the case also with plays and operas,
but no woman ballet dancer of any
note appeared until 1890.

THE PiMIENTA
PANCAKES.
Sheep Man 0utwits CoWpuncher
In the Wooing of a Maiden.
BY o, HENRY,

copyright. 1907. by the Mcclure company ]
While we were rounding up a bunch
of the TriangleO cattle in the Frio
bottoms a projecting branch of dead
mesquite caught my wooden stirrup
aud gave my ankle wrench that laid
me up in camp for week.
On the third day of my compulsory
idleness I crawled out near the grub
wagon and recliued helpless under the
conversational fire of Judson Odom,
the camp cook, and then | asked:
"Jud, can you make pancakesT
Jud laid down his six shooter, with
which he was preparing to pound an
antelope steak, and stood over me in
what felt to be menacing attitude.
SAY, you" he said, with candid
though not excessive choler, did you
mean that straight. or was you trying

TO let him have three or four swallows
of cool water, but no more. The few
swallows will help cool him, and an
other limited drink may be given every
few minutes for four or FIVE times,
after which he may drink his fill with
out danger. In careless or inexpe-
rienced hands, however, the only safe
way is TO let the horse stand for half
an hour or more with no water until
he is fairly cooled off.-Country Life

THAT was all the pancake specifica-

wonder that Jackson Bird found 1t up
hill work. SO dropped the subject
and talked with Uncle Emsley awhile
about hollow horn and cyclones. And
then Miss Willella came and said
good night and hit the breeze for
the ranch.
"About week afterward | met Jack
