 The Clan Menzies is one of the old est in Scotland and for long its chief conformed to the Gaelic mode of ruling his retainers rather by patriarchal in-

 The last chief was Sir Neil James Menzies, Bart who died not long ago . and as he was the last of his race on the male side the honor of chieftainess comes to be possessed by the only sur vivor of the family, Miss Egdia Char lotte Menzies, sister. of the late chief In Gaelic the chief was styled Men airich." It remains to be seen what the title of the new head of the clan will be. Unlike Helen Macgregor, she will be able to walk abroad without the necessity of wearing the claymore of her siros, which rests In Castle Men zies
 Lord Roseberry's complaint that the Englishman's house is no longer his castle reminds me of an amazing in- cident that happened within my per sonal knowledge only a few days ago.
 A lady on her at home day was sud- denly confronted by two male callers
 who turned out to be baiiiffs. They in- sisted on entering and declared that her husband, a professional man. owed large sum of money on photographic apparatus.
 The lady .elephoned to her husband
 who at some inconvenience, had to search out the solicitors, and It was several hours before the bailfns were withdrawn. It seems that the solicitors had simply looked out the name of the debtor in a directory and had dis patched the bailiffs under an order of the court, without the slightest at- tempt at verification.
 The person who owed for the appar- atus was somebody quite different yet 1t is exceedingly difficult to see what ompensation can be found for the great shock and humiliation thus wan tonly inflicted on a lady absolutely in- noceut

LADY MARY MANWARING'S
 NEWS LETTER FROM LONDON

London, July 15.-(Special.)- .)-The king and queen were vastly pleased with the cordiality of their reception in Ireland. The king particularly expressed himself as delighted with the evidence of loyalty in his Irish dominions.
 The investiture of the prince of Wales at Carnarvon Thursday was an impress sive ceremony falling short of course of the coronation. The ceremonical was very quaint and formal and the young prince bearing himself through the cere- mony with dignity.
 The prince was supported on one side by the earl of Plymouth, and Lord Ken yon on the other. He was preceded by these noblemen carrying the insignia Letters Patent-Sir Alfred Scott Gatty Garter King of Arms)
 Mantle-Lord Mostyn
 Train of -Mantle-Viscount Tredegar Sword-Earl of Fowls. Chaplet-Marquis of Anglesey
 Rng-Marquis of Bute
 Golden Rod-Duke of Beaufort
 The sword, the Chaplet, the Ring, and the Rod were borne on cushions. e On arrival before their. majesties, the prince did obeisance, lowing thrice to the hlng.
 The home secretary, Right Hon. Wins ton Churchill, read the Letters Patent, and at appropriate points in the reading

 The prince then did homage for the principality of Wales and the earldom of Chester in the following words:
 l. Edward Prince of Wales, do be- come your liegeman of life and limb. and of earthly worship and faith and truth. I will bear you to live and de against all manner of folks.
 Afterwards the Letters Patent were handed to the prince, who proceeded to the chair on the right of the thyone. All the girls in the empire feel intense ly f.ite. esteu, as is only natural, in Queen Marv's one little daughter. the Princess Victoria Alexander Alice Mary, playfully caleu the little Jubilee Princess the date of her birth being April. 1890.

 answer which sums up the situation very neatly if for the word toys we sub stitute that of occupation" since Queen Mary's whole attitude towards her fam fly partakes of that conscientious and serious character which marks every one of her actions. whether in public or pri- vate.

CHILDREN CAUGHT IN
 AWFUL DEATH TRAP

Moscow, July 15,-A terrible tragedy is reported from the village of Poboyanka in the Alderman district Five children who were playing at home in the absence of their parents climbed into a big iron safe with massive lid, held up by a prop of wood. One of the children must have accidentally knocked the prop away, for the lid fell, and owing to the auto- matic catch, because immovable from the inside.
 The parents on their return were alarmed at the disappearance of the chill dren, and searched for them in every likely place, but in vain. It was only after long delay that they thought of the safe. When they opened it they found the dead bodies of the children, their little faces distorted with their suf- ferings All had been suffocated.

Paris, was the scene of a terrible crims one day last week.
 Dr. Guinard, the chief surgeon, had just visited his patients and had decended to the hall door. On reaching the door the professor was detained by & nurse in con nection with one of the cases, when a man fired four shots at him.
 All the bullets took effect, and the pro lessor sank back terribly injured. DT. Guinard was carried back into the hos pital. The man is Spaniard named Can dido Herrero. A year ago he was re- ceived into the hospital, where the chief surgeon performed a serious operation on him. Herrero seems to have been con- vinced that the operation was not nec- essary, and he was heard to declare on more than one occasion that the doctor had put him to useless suffering
 "The doctor" he said. 'carved me in a horrible way. and I have more than once tried to kill him." The man seems to be insane or in such a highly nervous condition as not to be responsible for his actions.
 The fashionable beauties surround thern- selves with the ugliest maidservants pos sible. Their constant companions are hid eous pets. One celebrated beauty has en- gagged a dwarf, who is described as hay ing a tremendous head, malevolent ex- pression, and hardly any legs, and the lady takes him out walking with her in order that his ugiiness will empha size her beauty.
 Other beauties are selecting equally un- attractive foils, and the fashion is said to be spreading just as rapidly as ugly ser- wants and pets can be found.

 Binks and Pinks were neighbors, friends and fellow citizens. There was nothing whatever between them, and the Babes in the Woods could not have been more am. icable towards one another.
 The rift in the lute first appeared when Binks bought a dog. The dog was not what it might have been, and he was no gardener.
 However, the depredations in the gar den caused no open quarrel. It was when Pincher broke into the larder that the sparks began to fly.
 "Your wretched dogs been in my lard er!'' shrieked Pinks over the fence.
 Dear me!' replied Binks serenely, "Did he eat much?"
 Yes raved Pinks-"the brute. He ate every blessed thing in the place ex- cept few dog biscuits T had there.'

This seems a curious necessity in the twentieth cen- tpry. but it is q very real necessity for all that.

An Off Year in Aeroplanes
European Letter to the New York Sun

European Letter to the New 1Ork sun.
 So far the year 1911 has not justified the high expectations of aeroplane builders in France, says the Echo des Sports. There have been fewer orders for mono planes and biplanes than in 1910. It was the orders from the French war depart ment alone that kept the builders going. Not more than 50 machines have been turned out in France this year for for eign governments; 30 of them were for Russia.
 The general public seems undecided; everybody seems to be waiting for some great improvement, notably in the matter of security. Unfortunately this year s flying races have not inspired aeroplane builders with any important ideas in that direction, and dealers are eagerly looking for something that will make t''e wealthy sporting public go in more extensively for flying their own machines.
