Tbe Rank Beat tho Prince,

The Gcntlewoman Of London recalls
the following story OF the prince re-
gent and Coutts' bank: "When George
". was regent he had 4 grudge
against Coutts and determined to play
trick on the authorities. In those
days even the great banks kept very
small reserves Of cash. and the playful
prince thought out n plan 10 close
Coutts. So he sent his equerry round
from Carlton House with check for
100000, fondly hoping that the bank
would not be able 10 pay over the
counter. The princes trick, however,
failed Of success, as the wary old part
ner OF the Strand bank proved equal
to the occasion. He said ut once to
the eu,ierry, How will his royal high
ness take the amount. IN gold or notes?
The cqucrry hcsitatcd and then said
he had better 20 back 10 Carlton House
to inquire SO he departed, aud Coutts'
had time TO SEND 10 the Bank Of Eng
land and get the cash required, but IT
was not needed, as the prince regent,
seeing that Coutts' lad got the best
OF him, did not return the check IN
question"

Eocs That Can't Be Found.

The eggs Of some common birds OF
the present day have never been
found. There is the robin snipc; its
eggs nave never been seen. An Eng.
lish zooloSist kept man going up ana
down the coast Of Labrador for weeks
purposely TO get robin snipe's egg,
but it was in vain. The bird Is known
by thousands of people, but 1t breeds
40 far north and so remote from any
civilization that no scientific observer
can ever get to its nest ere the young
are hatchcd and have taken TO wing.
The frigatc bird that IS SO commonly
seen at sea OH the Pacific and OF the
West Indies is such solitary bird
and IS so seldom seen in its nest dur
ing The hours of daylight that its egg
is rare. IT seems strange, but the
eggs OF so well known bird as the
sandpiper have never been found and
are almost pricelcss.-LOndon Globe.

Horrors OF Bokhara.

The terrible deeds that once made
Bokhara a byword are now prohibited
by the Russian government. Prisoners
are not permitted, for instance. TO be
dragged through the streets by gal
lopine horses Nor are they thrown
from the top of the high tower called
the AIinar Katan. This was the usu-
all punishment meted out TO evildoers
in the old days. Watched by thou
sands of spectators. The poor wretches
were flung from that giddy height on
to the flagstones beneath.
Bokhara has many chambers OF hor-
rors. unwholeSomc for western eyes to
see and the description of which
would certainly be unfit for puDllca-
ton. Perhaps the most horrible OF
these is pit where prisoners We're tor

q GPrimitiYev Painter.

Henri Rousseau, Il man who used TO
hold a minor government position IN
France, was for Il quarter OF CEN
fury the joke OF artists and art students
in Paris. For years In the !ndepend-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some Of his famous" pictures
were 4 Lady on Sofa In Jungle,
a "Tiger In Il Jungle "NigSer In Il
Jungle" He affected jnnsles. which
consisted OF innumcrable parallel green
lines TO represent grass; the tiger was
a nainted wooden toy: the lady looked
rs If she had come out of Il Moan 5
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibitIn. the same sort OF work
every year, and the painful thing was
that lie gradually became celebrity.
Sinister humorjsts told him he haa
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. Il am real primitive nc
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length OF buying his pictures.
