officers in smart uniforms and spurs,

rowel exposed ankles, and demolish

sleek Armenians in somber western

as course, as applied) and shapes and
tastes, the lean and the fat, the tall

to have kissed in all the ports, and
tail-coats of as many styles as Jo-

Englishman had his fitted at the

Better Than Gold.

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness. but, as a mat
ter of fact, there are more metals dear
er than gold than there are cheaper.
The number of known metals is above
seventy. Iridium, for instance, is
three times as expensive as gold. Os-
MUM Il another metal much dearer
than gold. 1t is by far the heaviest Of
all known substances, being more than
twenty-five times as heavy as water.
This metal has the peculiar property
of being able to stand without melting
the most intense heat known. Palladi-
um, which is twice as costly as gold,
Is just the reverse. 1t is quite easy to

When the British Retreated.

One of the speakers before the BAN
quet of the Massachusetts society Of
the Sons of the American Revolution
told Of an experiment which he made
several years ago. He first consulted
historical records and ascertained the
exact time Of day that the British left
for Lexington. He then started to go
over the same ground From a fast
walk he soon found it necessary to
break into run and then a sprint
Then he found himself getting so far
behind time that he had to take troll
ley car. He left Lexington at the time
of day that the British left, and, al
though they are said to have reached
Charlestown at o'clock in the even
ing, he did not get there until after
7:30. thus proving that the British beat

Soon after Loriston became lord be

child of England fast outgrowing its
British father and whose institutions,
far different from those inherited by
Europe. were beginning to be the study
Of thoughtful Englishmen. But in
making the trip he had no idea Of be-

Or marrying an heiress. Coming as be
did to study American institutions, he
preferred to travel not as a nobleman,
but as Edward Arbuckle, which was
his name without the title.
Expecting to take back with him a
great deal of miscellaneous informa-
ton pertaining to certain matters in
which American methods differ from
those of England, he brought over a
stenographer and typewriter to aid
him In putting 1t on record. This per-
son, John Morton. had been the earl's
fathers agent for the collection Of
rents and other business purposes and
had lived on the estate ever since he
was born. Consequently he knew oil
about the family.
Scarcely had Loriston reached Amer
lea than Morton, who had in some way
unknown to his employer managed to
get hold of $500 or f600, left him with

The Pelican and It's Pouch.

Among the ouriosities of nature must
be reckoned the pouch of the pelican,
which serves equally well as net
with which to scoop up fish and as a
bag to convey food to its young When
not in use the bird can contract its
pouch so that 1t is barely discernible,
but when it is fully distended it will
hold two gallons of water. When the
pelican is hunting for food it flies slow
ly about twenty feet above the sur
face of the water. scanning its depths
for any sign of its prey. AS soon as a
fish is seen there is a sudden folding
of a pair of wings, a downward plunge
with the speed of an arrow head first
into the sea, the unerring marksman
reappearing in a moment and floating
on the waves long enough to reveal a
glimpse Of fish gliding down its ca
pac1ous gullet and to shake the water
from its disheveled plumage.

On our way we encountered that ter

came down upon us with hardly any
premonition, save of an oppressive
stiffness of the air and a sitting tenn
perature. Then all of sudden the
whole Sahara seemed to rise into the
air and pelt us with its sands and peb-
bles. Within FIVE minutes my mouth
was parched with thirst and my watch
choked with sand. The din of the
storm was indescribabe, and the flying
particles stung like whiplashes on hand
and face. Our horses were nearly mad
with fright, For four hours the insult
ferable choking wind blew with its
scorching breath. and then the heavens
opened and emptied what seemed to he

peratur sank to little above freezing
I'm a few minutes. and then the rain
came down like sluice, the great
drops splashing the sand back up to
our horses bellies.
Finally the storm vanished as quick
ly as it had come, and the sun came
out and smiled at our sad plight
