Good Old EnaIIsh Custom.

There was an 'old-fashioned custom
on the English road, which l suspect
is now obsolete. or practiced only by
the vulgar. Journeys Of length being
made on horseback, and, Of course by
brief stages, 1t was usual always to
make halt on the Sunday in some
town where the traveller might attend
divine service and his horse have the
benefit of the day of rest, the institu-
ton of which is as humane to our brute
laborers. as profitable to ourselves. A
counterpart to this decent practice.
and a remnant Of old English hospital
ity. was, that the landlord Of prin-
cipal inn laid aside his character of a
publican on the seventh day, and in.
sited the guests who CHANGED to be
within his walls to take a part of his
family beef and pudding. This inv.
tation was usually complied with by
all whose distinguished rank did not
induce them to think compliance de-
rogation; and the proposal Of a bottle
of wine after dinner. to drink the land.
lords health, was the only recon.
pense ever offered or accepted.-Sir
Walter Scott.

show. At Ras ell Mir the coast takes
sudden trend south for 20 miles.

direction. Near the angle the high
coast drops suddenly In a cliffy point.
nearly half a mile south Of which Is
the anchorage on a weedy bottom.
Twelve miles north is Bardieh, bet
ter shelter. which would be made into
q tolerable harbor by a breakwater.
II the frontier line of Egypt were
carried about four miles to the west
Bardieh would be included fn Egyp-
tian territory. The Sollum anchorage
derives its principal value from the
fact that 1t is the nearest point on the
Mediterranean to the Siwah oasis, and
is thus the sea end of the most direct
route through string of GASES to the
Sudan. But to describe this uninvit
ing corner of an inhospitable coast as
'the finest harbor in these parts"
in the words of contemporary, Is al
together misleading.

KING EDWARD AS A DRUMMER
England Had No Better Travelling
Salesman Than He, According :
to 6iographer.

King Edward VII of England Gro
ated new type of monarch. Edward
protected and enlarged the nations
resources. There was not in the whole
United Kingdom a more industrious
commercial traveller or a better mer-
chant. He only wore the crown wheI.
It was absolutely necessary. He had
mingled with men Of all classes and
professions, had had experiences to
which crown princes are not usually
exposed, had been on familiar terms
with financiers and captains of indus
try, and had learned to look on the
world with the eye OF comfortable
gentleman. He was quickly at home
everywhere. Whether he had to deal
with the selfcontrolled Alexander or
his volatile son, with Indian princes
or Yankees, with the fiery Delcasse
or the witty Clemenceau, he always
struck the right note.
He was a lucky man. He enjoyed
life from the day he left the nursery.
Englishmen did not mind that They
would not have liked morose and
stingy monarch. Prince BERTHE, who
ate well, drank well, did well at the
derby, at the tables, and settled the
fashion of the season, was the man
for them. 1t did not seem to them a
serious misfortune that he was hostile
to Bismarck. and at times went lit
tie too far with shady people. He al
ways drew his head out OF the moose
in time. and then gave England oc-
casion for another chuckle.-From a
Biographical Sketch by Macmillan
Harden.
