A Notorious EnaIish spendthrift.

Among the customers at Longs, the
famous hotel in Bond street, was the
last Marquis of Hastings, the most
notorious of mid-yictorian spendthrlfts.
Hastings. according to one who knew
him well, "gambled so that not even

Rothschilds. with the mines of the
Transyaal as additional supports, could
have withstood the straln.'

Mark Twain,s German Coffee.

German coffee must have given
Mark Twain a pain, Judging from the
following recipe which he gave for its
concoction:
Take q barrel of water and bring 1t
to boil; rub chicory berry against
a coffee berry, then convey the former
into the water. Continue the boiling
and evaporation until the intensity Of
the flavor and aroma of the coffee and
chicory have been diminished to a
proper degree; then set aside to cool.
Now unharness the remains of once

feata of Archery,


In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an arrow
through a buffalo's body. Remarkable
as this archery was, yet 1t did not
equal that reached by the archers of
ancient times. 1t is Of record that the
MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were
such skillful archers that they could
hit man at the distance of 500 yards.
In 1904 the Turkish ambassador at
London shot an arrow, In a field near
that capital, Ais yards against the
wind and 482 yards with the wind.
The secretary Of the ambassador, on
hearing the expressions Of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 500 yards
This was the greatest performance of
modern days, but pillar, standing
on a plain near Constantinople, record
ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslle, British ambassador to
the Sublime port, records that In 1903
he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 972 yards.-New York Press.

mails said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiments
of British naturalists show that an
animal of the dormouse family must
be added to the list Of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot aud
is said to fight fercely with vipers.
Large doses Of viper's poison were in
jected into one lerot, from which in.
lection no i'll effects followed On one
occasion a lerot was bitten badly in
the eye by viper. and no signs of
poisoning occurred. There can, 1t is
thought, be no doubt that the lerot Is
immune to snake poison.

Washington dispatches Of last week

Washington dispatches of last week
indicate that the railroads are to get
another Supreme Court judge at the
hands of President Taft. The partio
ular individual this time is Judge
Hook, whose strong arm judicial work
for corporation interests in the lower
courts naturally enough oommends
him to the corporation President for
promotion. From different directions
come testimonials to Judge Hook g
fitness. from the corporation point of
view. One of his exploits was in the
Oklahoma railroad rate case, in which
as Federal judge he granted an in-
junction against the State in behalf of
railroads. In order to arrive at a
conclusion as to the reasonableuess OF
rates, he took the average assessed
valuation per mile, added % per cent
in order 10 show capital value large
enough to explain bis injunction
against the reduction of rates required
by the State law The value of ore
railroad which without proof he fixed
at $64 900 mile has siuoe been 1c-
ported by the road itself to have cost
only $3l 900 Other roads costing
less than $50, 900 mile. rolling stock
included, were valued by Judge Hook
at approximately $4,000 a mile. Still
another performance of tbis interest
ing Federal judge IN the Oklahoma
cases was the bundling together Of
the earnings Of two roads. one Of
which was making between 3 and 4
per cent on bis valuation, and the
other between and 8. AS the own
ers of the less profitable road owned
the corporation that owned the more
profitable one. aud as the aggregate
net earnings of the two were less then
per cent under the rate law. Judge
Hook granted au injunction against
the enforcement of that law in respec;
CT 10th roads, this Notwithstanding
that they were operated as we'll as
owned by separate companies distinct
ly differed, and that each had brought
its own suit for the injunction sep
arately from the other.
