A Napoleonic Famine Scare.

Britain was on the verge of bread famine during the Napoeonic wars, and ill 1890 a law was enacted prohib- iting the safe of bread till it had been out of the oven at least twenty-four hours. Food was so scarce and dear" writes r. w. Hackwood. that q DOT ton of the population refused to starve in silence. and riOting broke out ill many parts of England. A royal grant of f5O0 was made to one Thomas Toden to enable him to prosecute a dis coyery made by him of q paste as Il substitute for wheat flour. The unfortunate seamen fighting Great Britain's battle on the high seas had to subsist on biscuits so badly made that when the weevils were knocked out there often remained nothing but empty shells" A plentiful harvest the following year saved the situation London Standard.

"Decination."

A popular error which recurs with unvarying regularity whenever mill tary engagements are reported is the use of the word "decimated' to imply a crushing defeat or something ap preaching annihilation. Yet, as a mo ment's consideration of the real mean ing of the word suffices to show, the word Is so used quite enormously "Decimation" means the destruction of One-tenth part of the force involved and the loss of one in ten, though suf. ficiently serious, certainly does not mean anything like that wholesale de struction( usually meant when ''deci- nation" Is talked of. Losses of one fn three or one in; four have been,sustain. ed by forces which, still maintained their cohesion and discipline.-West minister Gazette.

Austrian aviators made an unsuccess- ful attack upon King Nicholas winter palace at Rieka, according to dispatch es received at Cettinje. Bombs were dropped within a few rods of the palace, but did little damage. The king, the queen and the Princesses Vera and Xenia saw a thrilling fight between the palace guards and the aviators. who were finally driven off.
 The sky warriors flew in over Lake hcutari and began raining bombs, try inc to hit the roof of the royal resi- dence. One missile crashed through the glass roof of a conservatory a short distance from the palace itself, but the others were thrown wildly.
 Princess Vera rushed out on to the lawn. attracted by the noise of tho px- plosion. The king and queen and Oth- or members of the royal family fol- lowed. despite the warning from the guards that they should enter the eel lar of tFse residence.
