Poor kniahts of the aar,ar.

The splendor that surrounds the Or
der of the Garter makes 1t almost i'm
possible to believe there ever have been
poor" knights Of the order or that
these still exist today. Such. however.
is the case. These now number eigh-
teen in all, and their official title Is the
Military knights of Windsor. They

premier order Of chivalry of the world
he appointed one poor gentleman to
act as sort Of attendant or squire to
each knight, and twenty-six was the
original number. These were known
as the "alms" or poor knights Of the
garter until the title was changed to
the present one by William Iv.-Lon-

Beauty of Victoria EaIla.

The Victoria falls, the native name
for which is Mosi-oa Tounya, or the
Thunder Sounding Smoke, have right
ly been called the most beautiful gem
In the whole Of the earth's scenery.
No pen picture or photograph can give
the faintest idea Of the marvlous gran
deur and beauty of the scene The ma
5esty and mystery of the gigantic
gorges, the foaming torrents, the won
derful atmospheric effects-all come
upon one with a force and power as
though nothing had ever before been
read or heard in connection with them.
The falls by moonlight are truly fas-
cinating spectacle. The roaring clouds
of spray, the somber rain forest, the
stream Of the Zambezi shimmerlng far
above the trembling earth, the lunar
rainbow, combine to make an inimita-
BILE picture.

Five hundred years ago, the'span Of
a few generations, Portugal was the
greatest maritime power, preceding
Great Britain in that eminence. The
Portuguese first explored the two
coasts of Africa. The Cape of Good
Hope was doubled by bartholomew
Diaz In 1896. Vasco da Cana reached
India, via Cape Of Good Hope eleven
years later. In 1900 King Emanuel
ascended the throne OF Portugal and
assumed the title of lord of the con-
quest, navigation and commerce Of In
dia, Ethiopia, Arabia and Persia" In
that year the Portuguese made settle
ments in Brazil. History Is a cata.

for the purpose of taking the
initial steps to have submitted to
the tax payers of New Iberia a
mill and half tax to raise about

erect suitable buildings near New
Iberia for the holding annually

the enterprising people of Baton

to raise funds, feeling that it is
the only way to raise the money
to defray the costs. Once
this amount is assured it is then
