QUEEN MARY's PANTRY.
A Dazzling Array of Gold and Silver
Plate at Windsor.

Among the famous pantries Of the
world is that Of Queen Mary at Wind
sor. This pan ry comprises two rooms
Of no great di nenSionS. but it contains
treasures in the form Of plate and
household articles that are valued at
more than million pounds sterling
Many of these possess historic inter-
est. For example. there is conSpicu-
Gus exhibit in the form Of table Of
solid silver. This is nearly yard in
length, and its top, with an area OF
several square feet. bears the royal
arms and eXquiSitely chased designs
of the symbolic rose. thistle, harp, etc.
Every reign since that Of Elizabeth
has contributed to this table design
of some sort.
The most imposing of all the daz-
zling array of plate is the so called
gold dinner service for occasions Of
the highest state.
The walls of the two rooms Of this
royal pantry. the larger Of which is 80
by 16 feet and the smaller square
of sixteen feet, are lined with cases of
plate glass and mahogany. and in
these and similar cases occupying the
center Of each room are some Of the
most extraordinary examples Of art III
gold, silver and precious stones that
the world has ever seen.
There are tall. graceful epergnes,
each Of which would tax the strength
of two men to lift; there are dishes
in gold and silver any one of which
would be too heavy to run away with;
dainty toilet services in gold and sill
yer, candelabra, communion services,
dagons, vases, punch bowls. wine cool
ers, fountains and fonts, in silver,
wrought in designs Of great beauty by
the most skillful of artists.-Washing-

BARBED WIRE IN WAR.
1t Is Used In Various Ways and Is
Deadly Defense.

Deadly Defense.
Barbed wire is today as necessary a
part of an army's equipment as pom
toons or trenching tools In war barb
ed wire is used in various ways, but
it's main object is man stopping. 1t is
interlaced with ground pegs in front OF
trenches for the purpose of tripping
charging troops. it is strung across
bridges and main roads to prevent the
passage Of cavalry. and it is used for
fencing in camps to guard against
rushing tactics on the part Of the en-
emy.
Whenever possible barbed wire en-
tanglements are hidden in long grass
or in hedges. so that advancing troops
will be trapped while the enemy rakes
their lines with shot and shell. Barbed
wire concealed in underground is par
ticularly deadly where cavalry is con-
cerned. for the wire grips the horses
hoofs, causing them to fall on the
spike strewn ground.
At times certain roads that it is de-
sirable to have passable to townspeo-
pie have to be rendered impossible to
an army. To accomplish this zigzag
fences of barbed wire are built from
one side OF the road to the other until
they form a maze. A peasant with
time to spare can pass this barrier by
laboriously threading his way through
the narrow zigzag passage left open'
but an army Of several hundred men.
especially if they have guns or are
mounted. must halt to destroy the en-
tanglement-
The barbed wire used for military
purposes possesses long, Jagged joints,
which infict most painful wounds on
the body, especially when men and
horses fall on to them headlong, as so
often happens.-Philadelphia Press.

The nafodil.

Originally the daffodil was known as
the asphodel. From this to dafodi
was the first verbal transition. The
name gradually rounded itself into daft
fodilly-the form adopted by Milton in
the beautiful line, 1.-The dafodillies fill
their cups with tears" However, be-
fore Milton wrote. the flower had come
to be generally known as the daffod1
and it figures under this name in John
Parkinson's Garden Of All Sortes OF
Pleasant Flowers" published in 1929

daffodil than in any other flower, near
ly hundred kinds being described IN
his work.-London Chronicle.

Garden of the Near East.

Brusa, situated at the foot Of Mount
Olympus, in Asiatic Turkey, Is the gar
den city of the near east. Every
mosque and public building and almost
every house stands in its own garden,
under the shadow Of sycamore. cypress
or fig trees. The fora Of the surround
ing district is so rich and varied that
it has been the happy hunting ground
of botanists for centuries, and some
authorities regard it as the cradle land
of many of our sweetest spring flow
ers-the hyacinth, the tulip, the snow
drop and the jonquil.-London Spec
tator.

Lesson TO Be Learned.

According to the United States IN
sus, the population In California
cities OF over one hundred thousand
people has increased. In the decade
from 1900 to 1910. from 80 to 1918 per
cent. The population in districts out
side OF cities OF ten thousand and over
has decreased from 66.9 per cent, in
1900, TO 46.T per cent, In 1910. Most
OF this decrease Of the percentage OF
population OF agricultural districts has
gone to the big cities of ove one
hundred thousand.
This clearly shows the prevailing
tendency. II also shows the grave
necessity for building cities that are
1T places for the permanent housing
Of the larger part of the population.
