LEADER IN INDIAN AFFAIRS

The new maharajah, Ripu Singh, is
the son of the deceased rajah, Sir
Heira Singh Malvinda Bahadur, G. G.
8. l., G. G. l. E., Of Nabha,. whose
death was announced December 81,
1911. The state OF Shabha is one of
the three Phulkian states of the Pun
lab, but as the Maharajah of Nabha is
the direct descendant of Baba Phul,
the great common ancestor of the
Phulkian chiefs, therefore the rajahs
of Nabha are regarded with special
reverence by the two other chiefs of
Patiala and Jhind, and have great in
fiuence among the sikh community.
Moreover, the original place of their
forefathers, a village named Phul, aft
er the name of their common ances-
tor, is in the territory of Nabha state
Nabha state is about 1000 square
miles in extent with a population of
300.0 and annual revenue OF about
twenty lakhs of rupees. This state is
in alliance with the British throne

FOOD TAsTERs AT FEAST.

The sixteenth century feast was a
round of precautions. The table
laid, the panther at once tasted the
bread and salt as a preliminary
1feeler." Then my lord washed in
water tested for poison and dried
with a towel already kissed as a
like precaution. This the while each
dish of the first course, then on the
dresser, was being tasted by the stew
ards and cooks under the direction Of
the sewer. The dishes then came to
the high table and ''assaye' was
taken by the carver and the sewer
himself. Nothing was left to- chance.
Pieces were Clipped from each loaf
and corners from all meats. Pies
were broken open and "corHets" of
bread dipped into several places and
swallowed by the tasters. Granted
the well-being of these tasters, the
feast could then proceed.

FREAK IN NEST BUILDING.

Many birds that are shy and re-
firing in other respects, show very
little fear of the creaking and groan-
ing Of heavy machinery, or the thun-
derous roar Of heavy trains. | re-
call reading some years ago of a pair
of courageous little sparrows that
started a nest at one end Of a large
turn-table in a roundhouse. This
turn-table was the same at both ends,
and the birds built two nests-one
on each end, working one day on one
end, and the next day on the other,
as the turn-table was reversed. Here,
in the midst of din and confusion,
they finally selected one Of the nests,
and raised a happy brood of young.

TAX ON EVERY RACE HORSE.

In the past the opening Of a rae
ing season interested the treasury.
For the horse paid his footing in the
field. In 1884, for instance, Pitt,
ever in search of things to tax, sug-
gested a fine of IS on each horse
Starting for a race" The sporting
earl Of Surrey, however, thaught a
tax of $75 on call winners of any
plate or other prizes amounting to
$50" would better fit the case. Pitt
considered the suggestion and went
one better. He amended his resolu-
ton to embrace both taxes. Some
modification was found necessary,
and in the end a fee Of two guineas
was imposed on "every horse entered
for a race" to be paid to the clerk of
the urse.-London Chronicle.

GOOD FORTUNE OF MILLET
Artist Was Never Subject Of Gossip
and Escaped senseless Admiration
Of ThoughtIess Followers.

If Millet's work failed of full APP
probation in his lifetime, he was
nevertheless fortunate in many
things. He was never the subject of
public gossip, and he escaped what
is still worse-the senseless admira-
ton Of thoughtless followers. No
crowd of common artists and anna
teurs followed his footsteps or sang,
his praises in or out of season. He
never had anything to do with what
is called art life he simply minded
his own business. His tendency to
s%eclusion was a blessing to him, and
the findings of Barbison are good
fortune.
Seeking no display, his time and
thought were his own, and all he
asked or expected was to live. He
was free in spirit, and whatever
bonds he was in were caused by
forces greater than himself. He tried
to hide his troubles from everyone
but Sensier, to whom he went as
to a brother, In his work he trusted
himself. His subjects were of his
day, but his manner of treating
them vas original and included prin-
ciples that are universal

NINeLlNG CT CID AND NEW
lawsuit Over Patent fer V-Wound
Cop Reveals Most interesting
Complications.

Some years ago the old and the
new figured in a curious way in an
application for a patent made by an
American. This mans application
had reference to what is known as
l "V-wound cop" a cop being a cyl
inder of wound thread or yarn. The
V-wound cop is held to be superior
to, others in compactness ard uni
formity Of tension. For some time
it was thought that this sort Of cop
was the result of American inge-
unity.
The American patent, however, be-
came the subject of a lawsuit, and it
was discovered that two museums in
this country had cops of wood made
years and years before by FIJI island
ers and that the cops made by these
semi-civilized people were practically
the same as those turned out by the
American. So the latter's patent
was declared invalid. Then a new
complication arose, inasmuch as, the
museum authorities refusing to have
their cops unwound, it was impos-
to prove legally that the same
wind extended throughout all the
Accordingly the patent Of
fee reissued a patent to the Ameri-
can inventor for his cop.

RIFLE KILLS UNDER WATER
German Inventor Comes to Aid of
Diver Who Is Often Threat
ened by Sharks.

A German inventor has come to
the aid of the worker under water,
the diver who is threatened by sharks
and other monsters of the sea. Hith-
erto the diver in dangerous waters
has had to rely for his safety on the
use Of the knife, or, failing in that,
upon a quick return to the surface.
The German has invented a rifle
that can be fired under water and is
designed for the complete arming of
the diver. The strange feature about
this device is that it fires not bullet
but water, which is driven with such
force that it penetrates with remark
able power. Indeed, it is claimed
that the inventor has pierced armor
plate of ordinary thickness with the
water jet from this strange weapon.
The water rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge en-
cased In india rubber. 1t is worthy
of note, in this connection, that in
the SOS experiments were made
with a submarine rifle firing small
explosive projectiles by means of
compressed air, but the invention
never got beyond the experimental
