A Domestic Disturbance.

The trouble began with a tea fight. The milk was sour, the cake cut up, and the sugar fell out with the tongs. The spoons clashed. and the table groaned. The fringes on the doilies snarled, and the crackers snapped. The easy chairs were soon up In arms. and even the clocks did not agree. Things were no better in the kitchen. The pitchers were all set by the ears and stuck out their lips. while the teapot and kettle poked their noses into every thing. The range was redhot, which made the saucepan look black and final Iy boil over. The bells started dangling. all the pickles and preserves in the cupboard were jared, and there were any number of scraps in the refrig- orator and meat safe. Naturally when the mistress of the house reached the scene of disorder the cook was put out. Judge.

The United States government, if be came known. is not altogether satisfied with the note of Sir Edward Grey giv ing Great Britain's preliminary reply to President Wilson's protest concern ing the treatment of American com. merce by the British fleet.
 While gratitied that Great Britain ad mits the justice of practically all the principles of international law cited in the American note, officials reiterated that the chief difficulty had been Eng lands neglect to make her actual prac- tice square with the previously accept ed rules of international law.
 It is realized by officials in Washing. ton that long diplomatic correspond. ence conceding the principles of the American case. but not actually carry. ing them Into practice, will not meet the complaints of American exporters and shippers, and although England'S x supplementary answer Is expected to give more detailed statement of her position. officials plan to take up vigor. ously all individual cases which may meanwhile arise.
 The British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, had separate conferences with MT. Bryan. MT. Lansing. the state department counselor, and Mir. John, son. the solicitor, at the state depart ment. He told MT. Bryan 1t would be several days before the full British re, ply. to which the note received Is ore. liminary, was delivered in Washington.
 Sir Cecil discussed the note in a gen. eral way with Mr. Bryan and found that the American government would reserve comment until the complete re, ply had been received.

Two Famous English Orders.

On Oct. 13. 1899. was founded by Henry ". 'the Most Noble Order of the Bath" During the sixteenth and centuries "The Bath" fell into disrepute. and its restoration to favor we owe to the German George l.: who reconstructed the order in 1I25, The reason for its loss of reputation is possibly to be found in one of the cere- monies which preceded the investi- ture The candidate for knight hood was tremendously disrobed, conducted to a bath and while there was duly in structed and counseled by two grave and ancient knights concerning the or der and feats of chivalry. The English are q prudish nation and preferred to be clothed and in their right mind if they are to be preached at. The Order of the Garter rather tried their re- serve concerning the intimacies of ap- parel; the bath overstepped every Him. it.-London Chronicle.

No Soft Bed For. Him,

There is an immensely rich man in New York who never slept on bed of eiderdown, goose feathers, felt. hair or excelsior. When Il boy he slept on a pallet of straw. When young man his bed was an old fashioned shuck mattress, in the making of which he assisted to the extent of sorting the shucks. In the army QS61-5 he was glad to sleep on the ground. Later. as civil engineer, he reposea on d puncheon, and now, rolling in wealth. goes to bed every night on a trundle bed which. he bought from his aged "nigger nanny" This affair is not over fourteen inches high and is cord ed up with half inch hemp. There is no mattress, and of course there are DO springs. A rag quilt covers the ropes, another covers his body as he sleeps. His health is superb.-New York Press.

No EIopemonts In Germany.

One seldom hears of elopementS i'll Germany, because it is impossible for young people to marry ill that country without the consent of their C2rents or legal guardians. Certain prescribed forms must be gone through or the marriage. is null and void. When 2 girl has arrived at what is considered a marriagea ble age her parents make point of inviting young men to the house, and usually two or three are in vited at the same time, so that the at tention may not seem too pointed. No young man. however, is invited to the house until after he has called at least once and thus signited his wish to have social intercourse with the fami- ly. In Germany man must be at least eighteen years old before he can make a proposal. But when 1t is made and accepted the proposal Is speedily followed by the betrOthal. This gen erally takes place privately. shortly after which the father of the bride as she Is then called-gives q dinner or supper to the most intimate friends of both families. when the fact is formal ly announced. and shortly after 1t be- comes a matter of public knowledge.
