ExTRAvAGANCE OF THE MESS.

"'rhe regulations bristle with sumptuary
laws. which If they are observed In the
letter are treated with contempt in the
shirt. For this there are two causes. In
tho first place. the ineptitude of mess au-
thorities for the work Of the house or
Lodging keeper. The meals provided might
be inexpensive, considering that fuel,
kitchen utensils and Offices are provided
by the government, but in fact they are
supplied at rarely less than Il SIS. week,
and mere often at f. Is. or f2 2s.. with
out counting wines. tobacco or even af-
ternoon tea.
The second contributory cause Of the
high rate OF living is the provision OF
meals which would do honor TO a good
London restaurant They are provided
to suit the taste of senior officers who are
epicures Moreover. the waste in most
messes is very great: the mess president
who is the responsible person, has his
military duties TO perform. which take up
the best part of his time. and the mess
sergeant is not likely to be condemned for
want of thrift No one would dream Of
accusing the mess staff of inetticiency be-
cause a certain amount of waste was sus-
pected | know this will raise a protest,
but | affirm from personal experience that
this is generally the case. There is no
caterer conversant with his trade who
could not provide wholesome and palata-
bic fare for half the price for which ii is
at present furnished TO the members of
most messes. taking into consideration
the particular circumstances and the con-
slant numbers to be provided for. Mess
ing in the navy costs IS. day. 1t should
be remembered that an officer is an OBJ
ligatory member of the mess. so he cam
not evade this cost of his daily food
Another item OF expense is mess sub

A CROSS OF PEARLS.

The extraordinary pearl or. rather. clus-
ter of pearls, known as the southern
Cross" is probably the most remarkable
example OF it's kind that nature has ever
produced So far as is known, 1t occupies
a UNIQUE position among pearls. II con-
sists OF nine pearls naturally grown to-
gether in SO regular manner as to form
an almost perfect Latin cross
This pearl was discovered by one Clark
while he was pearl fishing at Roeburn,
West Australia, In 1874
At first glance ii might be supposed that
the component pearls of the cross had been
artificially grouped together. a minute
examination under strong light and high
magnifying power. however, dispels any
idea of artificialty.
The pearl has changed hands many
times At the last account IL was owned
by an Australian syndicate.-Harper's
Weekly.
