Surnames of Royalty.

The royal families of Europe have
hot generally surname because
mostly unlike the English houses Of
Stuart and Tudor, which were the
respective surnames of the first king
of each house before he assembled the
throne) they are descended in the
male line from some territorial counts
existing long previous 10 the period
In which the somewhat modern Gus
tom of surnames prevailed. King
George V, derives In the male line
from the ancient counts of Victim
afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes
of SAKE Coburg Gotha, etc. His ances-
tors in the male line were of the house
of Este, one of whom, Azo of Este,
married early in the tenth century the
daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke
of Bavaria, from which match sprang
in the male line the dukes of Bruins
wick-Luenenburg, afterwards electors
of Hanover and kings of Great Britain.
The members Of the British royal
family are described by their prince
ly titles in proceedings in the house
of lords, and no allusion is made to
any surname-for instance, they sign
the test roll merely by their pers nal
or Christian name, and we know
nothing of any surname which apper-
tanned by right or by usage to his late
majesty, King Edward, or to his maj
esty, King George V.

and that was all which seemed i'm

Mr.. Black said nothing; he was feel
ing trifis cheap-something which
did not agree with his crusty nature.
Not having seen Mrs Scoville for a
half-hour without her veil, her inf1u-
ence over him was on the wane, and
he began to regret that he had laid
himself open to this humiliation.
She saw that it would be left for her
to wind up the interview and get out
of the place without arousing too
much much attention. With a self
possession which astonished both men,
knowing her immense interest in this
matter, she laid down the stick, and.
with gentle shrug of her shoulders,
remarked in an easy tone:
We'll, it's curiousl The ins and
outs of crime, mean. Such a dis
covery ten years after the event Il

Thus for long, slow minute; then

'Who?"
The word shot from her lips so vi.
olently that for moment both men
looked staggered by it. Then Mr.
Black, with unaccustomed forbear-
ance. answered gently enough:
why, Scoville, madam; or so the
prosecution congratulated itself upon
having proved to the jury's satisfac'
ton. 1t did not tally with Scoville's
story or with common sense know.

Keep UP UNREST IN CHINA
Fervent Believers in Evil Spirits and
Kindred Invisible Agencies Source
of Much Trouble.

1t is a common belief among the ig-
| the innumerable evil spirits of The
dead are real and terrible demons.
These demons are believed to be able
to subject the relatives to the most
evil state of bondage and suffering.
Superstition runs so rampant
throughout China, in spite of the
sprinkle of education and advances
| made during the last decade by occi-
dental commerce and missionary ef-
forts, that the average native firmly
believes in the existence of invisible
agencies. These superstitious agen-
cies can mysteriously cut of queues
and bring about sickness or accident
or other dire disasters.
Because of this superstitious fear
and belief in the presence of evil de-
mons, many of the Chinese are fire.
quently aroused to the widest, most
uncomfortable state of excitement.
These latter outbreaks manifest them
selves in different phases of public
disorder and rioting. For example, in
1877 panic broke out in which
queue-cutting mania occurred.
The later Boxer outbreak was 81
santic illustration of how supersti-
tlous fear can arouse the average Mon
golian. Under the stress of high ex-
element and fever, the average ig-
norant Chinaman, led on by unscru-
pulous leaders, is made to actually be-
lieve that all the laws of nature have
for their especial benefit been sud
denly repealed. The ignorant, super
stitious mind or the native is readily
worked up to the point where he be-
lieves he bears a charmed life and
that his body is invulnerab!e to rifle
bullets, exploding artillery shells or
other missiles of war.
Difficult as it is to believe, there
are native fatalists existing today in
China so wildly superstitious that
they believe no sword has ever been
forged which can cut their charmed
lives. Obviously, they have never
gone up against the real thing in oc-
cidental warfare, but 1t is with such
sophistries that these fatalists in
fame the superstitious minds of their
ignorant followers. The disturbing
and perilous clement among the Ce-
lestials, with their wild superstitions.
is impossible to estimate, but in spite
of the marvellous advances during the
last two decades, China is still filled
with such dangerous men. One Of
the great needs CT modern China Is
some educational method whereby
these wicked and evil states of the
ignorant, superstitious mind of the Ce-
lestial can be overcome.-Clyde Wit

So particular man as the Judge
would soon find himself too uncom-
Portable to endure the lacl. OF those
attentions which he had bsen used to
in Bels's day. He had not even asked
for clean sheets, and sometimes she
had found herself wor dering, with
strange shrinking of her heart, if his
bed was ever made, or whether he had
not been driven at times to lie down in
his clothes.
She had some reason for these
doubtful conclusions. In her ram
blings through the house she had come
upon Bela's room. 1t was in a loft
over the kitchen and she had been
much amazed at its condition. in
some respects it looked as decent as
she could expect, but in the matter of
bed and bed clothes it presented an
aspect somewhat startling The
clothes were there, tossed in a heap
on the aoDr, but there was no bed in
sight nor anything which could have
served as such.

of this were everywhere on the mar

HARD TO INTERRUPT SERVICE
Common Mistake That Wireless Com

Many suppose that it is possible for
an enemy TO disrupt and suspend all

Ilar length; in other words, by inter
ference or tanning" According to

EaYpt Gets Moro Rain Now.

Rain fell in torrents in Alexandria,
Egypt, during the rejoicings over the
accession of the new sultan. Some
fifty years ago the statement would
have seemed ridiculous; but of recent
years the climatic character of Egypt
has lost its consistency. and now we
have rain in places where none was
known before, and more rain where
there was very little, or only the gem
tie dew
The English are believed TO be re-
sponsible for the rain-with their new
channels for spreading over the land
the waters of the Nile Cairo has only
two inches in the year, while 500 miles
up the Nile there is practically none
at all lust as the plantation OF trees
in a desert win bring rain, so is Egypt
now moister place because Of the
extension of cultivated lands But It
is not likely that all our western civ
ilization viii ever destroy the won
derful dryness of Egyptian air with
which the constitutions Of invalids
and pyramids agree.
