Pride of Raoa.

Many stories are told Of the pride
OF these long descended country
squires. They have held their own
even with peers of ancient creation.
A great friend OF the Duke Of Norfolk
who died in 1S15-Jockey OF Norfolk
was an old squire who always main
tanned that his name Huddleston was
a corruption. Of the Saxon Athelstan
and consequently much more ancient
than that of Howard. Like the duke.
he was great topper and at dinner one
day rolled off his chair to the floor.
The duke ordered a member of his
family to raise him up. Never" hic-
cuped the old man-"never shall 1t be
said that the head OF the house of Hud-
dleston was lifted up by a junior mem
Der of the house of Howard" Then,
old friend" answered the genial duke,
"as Howard is too drunk to lift him
up he will lie down beside him." and
he did.-Manchester Guardian.

They sleep in the house, generally
taking up their position at the foot Of

they begin to wake up, and during the
night they slide swiftly about the

Sir Edwin Arnold as an Editor.

Sir Edwin Arnold was perhaps the
most suave man who ever paced Fleet
street. His correspondence must have
been enormous, but it never seemed a
tax. He hailed a contribution from
an acquaintance with thanks on one
day. begged forgiveness on the next
for days inevitable delay in publica-
ton and on the third offered his con-

QUAIL SHOOTING.

Seine of the Difficulties That Confront
the Man With the Gun.
++one Of the difficulties Of quail
shooting lies In the very fact that
would apparently make his killing a
simple proposition, his rising near the
gun" says Charles Askin in Outing.
Let me ILLUSTRATES: If a quail rose
within ten feet of the gun and contin-
ued sailing around the shooters head
at mile minute gait the chances
are that he couldn't be killed in ten
shots, both the bird and the gun
changing angle with rapidity beyond
the ability of the mind to calculate.
In the same way a close springing bird
may change his angle with regard to
the gun so rapidly as to entail a long
and accurate swing before he can be
covered.
The nature Of the quail's fight fire.
quently makes this long swing I'M
avoidable. The bird may rise to the
north, pass to the west and be killed
to the south. Had it been possible to
foresee that the bird would swing
about to the south before being killed
IhC gun haNC bCCh IhClC'
rendering unnecessary a complex gun
movement. but meantime the quarry
would probably have gone in some
other direction. The quail work that
calls for care and skill is cover shoot
ing, and the only safe rule there is to
point your gun as near the bird as you
can when he breaks and shoot as
quickly as YOU can get on

been reigning today.as it is not Ell
quette for a Moslem prince to wear a
beard. He may wear a mustache If
he likes, but never a beard, and had
old Abdul Hamid seen any prince
wearing a beard, and so breaking the
laws of strict etiquette-well. the Bos-
porus was always handy, and any one
who offended Abdul was dumped into
the water, but unfortunately no one
took the trouble to fish the offending
party out again.
The point lies in this-if a Moslem
prince wears beard he will at once he
suspected of having designs on the
throne, and to be so suspected is not
healthy in Turkey.
And once sultan has grown a
beard it never comes off. 1t would
be mira dig for sultan to shave
himself, of coures, and most decided
ly no sultan would trust himself to a
Turkish barber, as that would perhaps
amount TO a case of deliberate inten-
tional suicide.-Tit-Bits

| King George is shown on the new
coinage as being the happy possessor
of neat little beard and a good crop
of hair on his head, the latter despite
the fact that his crop OF hair is by 10
means excessive.
When King Georges portrait came
to be impressed on our coinage and
postage stamps the authorities were
in a quandary-could they set the i'm
print of a bald-headed king on the
coinage?
They appealed to his majesty, and
asked to be allowed to show him as
the possessor of a fine head of hair
But the king would have none of it.
Let me appear as l am, or don't let
me appear at all, said he in effect,
and he had his way. He appeared on
stamps and coinage as a bald-headed
monarch And that was unique, for
such a thing had never happened be
fore.
The car of Russia is very like our
own king-he has the same sort of
beard and mustache, and resembles
King George in many other ways.
II you want something out of the
common turn to the German emperor.
His mustache is a worlds institution,
and he has worn il in every possible
and impossible way.
SIn its day it has dropped down and
stood out as If cut in marble, but of
late years he has worn it standing up
at right angles to the mouth, and GER
tainly the kaiser looks very fierce
monarch indeed with his presen'
style of mustache
At one time he tried to grow a
beard, but was obliged to shave it off,
for the empress refused TO tolerate it,
and his people were thankful when
he did shave, for they liked his beard
no better than the empress,
II you want to know the name of
the monarch who owned the most
magnificent mustache his name may
be given-King Victor Emanuel of
Italy. His was something like mus
tache as may be judged by the fact
that one of his pet amusements was
to tie the ends of il behind his neck.
But, alas! King Victor Emanuel
dyed his mustache; il was really Il
light brown one, but it occurred TO
him that light brown was hardly a
war like color. so he resorted to the
dye pot and manufactured a black
one, or, at any rate, a dark brown.
King George OF Greece has two mus
taches-one is for family use, so 10
speak, the other is for ceremonial oc-
casions. When he is in the midsL
OF his family circle his mustache
droops gently down-he Is then quite
the family man But II he goes out
of his own country. or has to attend
any great state ceremony, his mus
tache stands out al right angles 70
his face. and is delightfully."- waxed at
the points.
King Alfonso OF Spain is hard at
work Just now raising a mustache,
but to all appearances he finds the
work none too easy. Still, there ia no
saying what the future may do, and
we may yet see him with a present
able mustache. The ex-king Of PortG-
gal, too, is very barefaced, but, I'M
