Victoria and the Irish Soldiers.

It was at a royal review of troops that Queen Victoria made an immortal declaration. Regiment after regiment, English, Irish and Scotch. passed be fore the queen. When the Grenadier guards went past she expressed the warmest of admiration for the fault less technic of the regiment. When a regiment of highlanders marched past she became positively enthusiastic. ''AIagnificent!' her majesty is reported as saying. What splendid soldiers those highland men are" Then came an Irish regiment, which one is not stated. This time it was not so much the faultless marching and the splen- did physique that so impressed her majesty. For moment she said noth- ing. Then in a low voice she turned to an officer and said, "Ah, that is bloody war;

Fer conservinc Heat In Pipes,

An excellent covering for steam pipes may be made from materials that are always available. Take some fine saWdust and screen it through a sieve to remove any foreign bodies. Prepare thin paste of flour and Wa ter and mix the sawdust thoroughly with this paste. With small trOwel the mixture so prepared should be ap- piled in about five coats to the steam pipes while they are slightly warm. Each coat should be thoroughly dry before the next is applied. If the steam pipes are in an exposed situa ton three or four coats of coal tar should be applied after the paste has dried. If inside a Building this water prooing is unnecessary. Steam pipes treated with the sawdust as above lose very little heat.-POpular Science Monthly

The Oldest Epitaph.

The oldest epitaph ill English, which IS found in a churchyard in Oxford shire and dates from the year 1870, to modern readers would be unintelligible not only from its antique typography, but from its obsolete language, the first two lines of which run as follows and may be taken as a sample of the whole:
 Man com & SC how schal ale dede be; wen vow comes bad 6 bare; noth have ven we away fare; all ye werines vt ve for care"
 The modern reading would be: Man, come and see how shall all dead be when you come poor and bare nothing have when we away fare. All is weari- ness that we for care."-London Spec tatOP

COAST TRAIN HELD UP.
Two Bandits Get Four Pouches of Reg
 istered Mail

Two men held up the Northern Pa cific North Coast limited train tv enty five miles east of Seattle and escaped after rifling four pouches of registered mail consigned to New York. The rob bers attempted to dynamite the safe in the express car, but failed.
 The robbers boarded the train at East Auburn, ten miles west of the scene of the holdup. When they climbed aboard the train they ejected from the "blind baggage" a boy who was on his way to Ellensburg. The boy reported the presence of the two armed men on the train to a Northern Pacific special agent, but the robbers already had completed their work and escaped.

gotlationS Deadlocked.
 Negotiations between the United States and Germany on the submarine question are deadlocked. The mildest course the United States can be eX- pected to take is to inform the Berlin government that if American lives are sacrificed ill the new submarine cam paign Germany will be held account able
 Reports from Berlin state German submarines will torpedo no passenger liners without warning, even after the new order against armed merchant men goes into effect
 Furthermore submarine command CTS will endanger human lives only in ease steamship attempts to escape, to Are at the submarine or to ram her.
 This was the last word given out in Berlin with the beginning of the new U-boat campaign against armed mer- chantmen.
 The statement was made while off, eials were still contemplating the strong utterances of President Wilson in his letter to Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee 1fterances described by a high official of the foreign office as Impressive"
 The question of a possible diplomatic break with the United States is receiv- ing greater consideration in the Ger man capital. Officials and the public alike frankly admitted that they be- neve Americas attitude in the pending negotiations is unfriendly.
 instructions to Submarines.
 The German U-boat commanders will act under these instructions:
 They will not torpedo every ship en- countered, trusting to prove later that they were armed.
 They will not violate instructions pre- viously given to warn passenger liners.
 They will not endanger human lives un- less the ships attempt to escape, to ram the attacking submarine or to fire on her.
 Tn short, the difference between the past and the present, as regards pas senger liners, is that in the future armed liners will not be considered as legitimate peaceful trading ships. . Not Looking For Trouble.
 It can be stated definitely that Ger many, by the new regulations, is not courting trouble with America. But if some future accident endangers Ameri- cans or causes American losses Ger many will be convinced that the re- sponsibility will not rest with her, in asmuch as she has fully warned Amer jeans publicly and the American gov ernment officially.
 Rresident Wilson's letter to Chair n1an stone caused a sensation in gov ernment circles and in the American colony when published in Berlin.

Perhaps the most remarkable lottery was that in France in 1860. when the conclusion of peace and the marriage of Louis XIV. were celebrated. It was drawn publicly and under the inspec- tiOn of the police. and the first prize. 100000 livres, was won by the king himself.

CROWS AT THE BALL.
LMARY GRAHAM BONNER

"The Fairies had one of their fine
Balls the other evening-just two eve
ningS ago." said Daddy. You know
they haven't had real Ball for long,
long time, and they have been waiting
for some time for this one.
"You see there has been so much
going on lately in Fairyland. There
have been swimming Parties, Flower
Hunting Parties, Games, Frolics, and
all sorts of good times-but not Bali
in really long time.
''The Fairies said that as they
hadn't had one in such long time they
were going to have this Ball one of the
finest ever given. So they went to the
greatest trouble and care to make 1t a
big success. In the first place they had
a great many Guests and they gave 1t
in their biggest wood Ball Room.
among their Guests were the
Brownies, Elves, Gnomes. many Of the
Birds, Butterflies, Humming Birds,
Red Lizards, Grasshoppers and Crick-
cts. The Crickets had arranged to sing
for the dancing and the Hummine
Birds said they would hum the tunes
| all the time that the Crickets sang
The Robins sang some extra songs and
of course, the other Birds all Joined In
the chorus.
Dancing and dancing-such dancing
as you have never even dreamed Of
went on in Fairyland the evening o
this big Ball. The Fairies said theil
Ball was being given in the evening
though 1t really was the latter part o
the afternOon-but they had invited s
many Guests who never sit up reall
late in the evening-and yet tn
Fairies knew their feelings would b
hurt If they called their Ball an after
noon dance.
"The Butterflies did some specif

! Guests, and the Humming Birds an

and all the delicacies on that table,
Well, 1t would have made your mouth

"What are delicacies, Daddy?" asked
Nancy.
"They are goodies to eat" said Dad
DIV, and then of course Nancy under
stood. "And they had the goodies that
every Guest would enjoy most. Not a
Guest was forgotten. There were even
little Worms for the Birds-and the
other Guests didn't mind at all, as
they knew the Robins and Orioles and
other Bird Guests loved little Worms.
They were given to the Birds in spe-
cial dishes made Of grass.
"But just as all the Guests sat down
to supper the Fairy Queen said Come,
| all my Fine Waiters' And as she said
this she waved her wand high in the
| air.
"Then from far and near the black
est of black Crows flew down and
| alighted all around the table. They
had promised the Fairy Queen to be
just as good as good could be, and to
| wait on all the Guests before they had
| ANYTHING at all to eat. They were
quite willing to do this, for they had
never been invited to q Ball given by
the Fairies before and they were high
ly fattered.
j "They all had had their black suits
| polished and brushed with the great
/ est care and they wore very nne
aprons and hats made of green leaves.
Every time a Guest said Thank you
when anything was passed, q Crow
!. would say, 'Caw-Caw,' which means
J You're welcome
"The Crows always say 'Caw-Caw
to almost everything, but 1t is just the
tone they use that makes the Cav
Cav mean something quite different
each time they want IL to. At the end OF
the supper, after the Crows had had
a feast. too, the Fairy Queen asked
them II they wouldn't sing the old. ole
r song about Blackbirds being baked IN
pie.
: "At first the Crows looked bi'
sad. but then they said: Why, Of
e course. wen be happy to sing it. It's
{ lots of fun to sing about such things
