ON THE TABLE OF ROYALTY
Marvellous Collection of Plate at the
Service of the Rulers of Great
Britain.

At Windsor castle a table set for a
state banquet is a dazzling sight. The
wonderful collection of gold plate in
cludes two gold dogs, each three feet
high, formerly used as firedogs; a
scent fountain in gold enamel with fig
ures of Arabs grouped around it water
ing their horses; dozens Of lofty gold
c~andelabra, s~alvers, wine coolers and
fiagons innumerable. Through custom
dating back to the time of the Pre-
tender, none of the guests except roy
atty is furnished With a finger bowl.
At Buckingham palace the gold plate
weighs eight tons, and its cost is esti-
mated at $4,000, 900. 1t is used only
on histor.asI occasions. This plate Vas
Ycollected principally during the reign
of the four Georges. The principal
piece is a massive peacock captured in
n of the Indian wars. The birds
tail is completely studded with dia-
mands. Cut glass worth a fortune,
ivory decanters hundreds of years old
and wines dating back more than a
century are accompaniment of the
historical feasts at Buckingham.

With Naught But Her Breath.

An Irish charwoman, employed on
the upper floors of a New York sky
scraper, was recently telling a friend
of her terrifying experience during a
storm.
"Sure, l had an awful time" said
she. "In the middle of the afternoon.
Saturday, when they'd all gone from
the upper floors, an / was there with
me mop alone, there comes up the
fearfulest storm that " was. Whin
it burst, l runs to a coat-closet, an
shut mesilf in, an | says to mesilf:
.Whin the thunder dies down, I'll step
out, an not before An if you will
believe me, l was there two full hours
in that closet with no vintilation but
me own breath"

Superstitious Royalty.

The Hanoverian kings were not alto
gether free from superstition. But in
their day it was at the courts OF GER
tain European monarchs. and notably
the court of France, that superstitious
beliefs and practices prevailed. AS
late as the eve of the French revolu-
ton King Louis XVI and his queen, the
unfortunate Marie Antoinette, dallied
with the old outworn faith in sorcery,
astrology and alchemy; as is evil
denced, for example, by the favor en-
joyed by the celebrated charletans
Mesmer and Cagliostro. More inter
esting than either of these, though not
nearly so well known today, was an
impostor who fiourished a few years
earlier, the so-called Count de st. Ger
main, favorite Of Louis XIV and Ma
dame de P~ompadour, and famed
through all Paris as the n man in
history who had really discovered the
elixir of life.

WHERE THEFT IS UNKNOWN
No Need for Locks or Bars In the
Land of the Tyrol, According
TO Traveller.

A land of almost utopian simplicity
is described By a writer in the Field,
who a year ago started on foot from
Innsbruck and went by way of Iandeck
to the Stelyio pass, and back across
the Tyrol to Weisehnofen. One Of the
joys OF a walking trip in Tyrol, he
say lies in the friendship Of these
exceedingly simple, honorable and re-
ligious peasants.
They leave their agricultural imple-
ments lying all night in the field, COW
cred with a heavy-cloth, for the dew
is as dishonest among these holy
mountains as elsewhere. They have
no locks on their barns. They lift a
cross with a cry for prayers and the
remembrance of God at every quarter
of a mile. These crosses mark the
spot where some poor soul has died
during the wild storms of winter. How
dreadful those tempests are can be
judged from the fact that we found six
such homely wooden monuments, not
one more than ten years old, within
half a mile.
At Longarone-which is owe the
italian border-we discovered that u
schamber, the best in the inn, had its
lock screwed on t~opsy-turvy, so that it
could not be fastened. Out in the hall
way, / beloved for Maria. She came,
all surprise. But the honorable herr
cannot have another bedroom with a
better lock, for that's the only lock in
the hotel; the only one in the village.
The landlord bought it because the
foreigners insisted. but he had never
seen a lock before. If the honorable
herr Will wait until tomorrow, perhaps
-ah, but everyone in town knows the
honorable travellers are here; every
one knows that they go a long trip
and must need much money, SO nc one
could be wicked enough to attempt to
deprive the honorable herr and his
honorable frau of a thing they need
so much."-Youth's Companion.

Understood That Better.

Marie Caslova, the violinist, used to
tell of a reception at which she was to
be the soloist, which was given by a
woman whose, sudden wealth had not
brought her musical knowledge.
when l called her up five hours be-
fore the reception to ask about the
condition of the piano, she exclaimed:
I sent the piano back to the factory
last week for repairs. Can't you play
something without one? The only
things / had at my fingers ends for
violin alone were some Bach sonatas.
This gave me an inspiration. Certain
ly,' / answered, I can play the Cha
conne.' After a moments silence a
disappointed voice replied: But, my
dear, l would SO much rather you
played the VIOLIN"

HOW FAR BACK CAN YOU GO?
Here's Man Recalls Trivial Thing Hap
peninG When He Was Three
Years Old.

Il have found IN my Investigations
psychological phenomena, that for a
ma to recall incidents in his life when
he was four years old is the average
limit of memory, although | have met
persons who claim to be able to re-
member events in their lives as far
back as when they were two years old.
| know that / have a vivid recollection
of several things that must have oc-
CURED when | was not yet three, for
the printed record of events that were
contemporary with that time prove it
by association.
"One Of these trivial things that l
recall was the reference of a kindly
old lady to my first pair of boots,
which had red tops, a fashion brought
in by a certain class of men who were
laborers on a railroad which was in
course of construction a few miles
away.
"'You look just like one of the rail-
readers working up yonder along the
river said she to me.
"And | can remember the ~quizzical
look on her face as plainly as l saw it
that day 81 years ago. | was not yet
three years old, and just then was the
time the railroaders were working up
along the river.
"But the memory that recalls events
earlier than the f%our-year-old period Of
life is rare; in fact, it is phenomenal"

The Miuht Of Example.

Example is one of the most potent
of instructors, though it teaches with
out a tongue; it is the practical school
OF mankind, working by action, which
is always more forcible than words.
Precept may point to us the way; but
It is silent, continuous example, con-
veyed to us by habits, and living with
us in fact, that carries us along; good
advice has its weight; but without the
accompaniment Of a good example It
is OF comparatively small influence,
and it will be found that the common
saying of "Do as / say, not as do
is usually reversed in the actual ex.
perience Of life.-Smil,s.

Her First Impression.

Recently a woman paid her first
visit to the ocean and as she stood on
the beach gazing at the great expanse
of water a friend happened along.
"They tell me, Mrs. Jones, said the
friend, that you never saw the ocean
before. Is that true?"
EYES," answered Mrs. Jones. Most
of my life has been spent in the mid

Think Of the wonderful treat you
had" eagerly exclaimed the other.
"How did it impress you?"

Jones, when I looked at the amount OF
water they have down around here 1t
struck me that fish might be a little bit
cheaper"

]. Albert Kiedaisch. president OF the
Keokulr Industrial association, has re-
turned from business trip in several
OF the eastern states. Mr.. Kiedaisch
finds evidences of considerable bust
ness awakening in Ohio and says that
the factories there are working full
time. The railroads are moving con-
siderable freight too. The conditions
that he found in his trip are quite en-
couraging, he thought.
The people in the district where he
was, know about Keokuk and about
the new industries which have been
received here. There seemed to be
considerable interest in the industrial
awakening of Keokuk
A paved roadway principally OF
concrete, is being completed from the
Ohio river to Lake Erie, Mr.. Kiedaisch
said. This roadway is being built
from IL to IA feet wide, and is furn-
ishing a splendid means Of communi-
cation. Where it is necessary to pass
other cars on the road, the drivers
slow down. The twenty-five foot road
way seems to be discarded as far as
this highway is concerned.
