LONDON.-The king and queen
have been much in evidence in Lon
don recently. The other day an
equerry, who with some specially hon
| ored host, explained the ceremonial
| attendant on ing Georges preparation
for dining at an informal meal given
by ducal host, when ordinary even
ing dress rather than the knee
| breeches and sick stockings of cere-
! monial occasion is necessary.
1t seems that as soon as his maj
esty is dressed he leaves his dressing
| room and passes into the kings room
in order to attend to any important
letters or kilograms that require an
swering before he leaves the palace.
In the meantime, another equerry is
| giving the exact route Of the kings
drive to the dinner party to detec-
tive whose job it is to shadow the
sovereign from the time he leaves
buckingham palace until he returns.
This detective also informs every
! policeman the exact time of the kings
| motor will pass the particular point
| of the route that he guards, while he
himself follows the royal carriage on
| bicycle and enters the house Of his
majesty's host almost at the same
| moment as does the king. A round
IaOlS is usually selected, at winch
| to entertain the king, and his host
sits on his majesty's right, while if
company includes an ambassador he
is placed at the left of the royal chair.
Only one wine is served on these
semitormal occasions, and often the
king does not drink this, but asks in
stead for glass of soda water. Since
! the war it is noticeable that the royal
| table is somewhat less lavishly pro-
! vided with wines than in former days.
| His majesty never drinks liquors. He
smokes a cigarette with his coffee. A
game Of bridge Is the after dinner
entertainment, and the king as a rule,
/ leaves the house at 10:45 o'clock at
| the latest.
In the good old Victorian times
horse guards and mounted police used
to trot sharply beside the royal equip
age whenever the queen-empress went
| tor an airing. But nowadays not so
! much attention is paid to regal state,
and the panoply and splendor of the
| sovereign are only shown on special
| occasions.

''3400 IN CITY HAVE
UPS and DOWNS IN
LIFE? NO elevator

Rich man, poor man, beggar man,
'theif, rise in Richmond-but all that
go up come down! Sounds like throw
ing cold water, but the reference is
to the 3,400 Richmondites who go up
and down the city's elevators each
day.
Seventeen hundred trips, or there
abouts, are made every day by the
building scalers," it is estimated.
This count includes both up" and
down" journeys.
Fred Heuing. pilot" of the Knoll.
lenberg elevators. leads with daily
estimate of 600 trips. three-fourths of
which are to the second floor of the
building. If he only took one day
his daily companions" would be
many, but the average trip carries at
least two persons, making a daily av-
erage of 1900.
Peter Gerhune, the air man in the
Union National Bank building, makes
more than 100 trips day, and carries
at least 200 passengers.
George Worley, captain of the Sec
ond National bank building "airship."
carries a third more passengers on
Saturday afternoon than on any other
day in the week, he believes. This
average is 300 trips up and down.
Other elevators, too, carry their big
gest loads on Saturday.
Some Of EN- to Wed
At the courthouse William Trussler
is master of rising ceremonies. He
carries more than 800 people a day
to the courtroom and other offices Of
the county building, making at least
$50 round trips, he believes. Mr..
Trussler transports as many as 10
people at time on some trips.
Con Amons presides over the Co.
lonial building elevator, making nigh
unto 400 trips a day and carrying
heavy loads all day long.
Along with the rich and poor go
doctor, lawyer and merchant chief,
,nilliner, street sweeper manicurist,
insurance man. and SO down the list
of Richmond's melting pot.
Just Tell Everything.
Nowhere can human nature be
studied quite so we'll as in an ele-
rator, say the men who run them.
Folks confide secrets, tell each other
what they are going to buy wnen
they are going to be married. and
how ther mother-in-laws treat them.
Elevator men are not supposed to lis
ten, but what a lot they hear.
Timid old ladies' and gentlemen un-
used to the elevator fashion, often re-
frain from riding, and instead, walk
up three and four flights of stairs to
save their nerves the wear"
Generally children scream with de-
light on their first elevator Jaunt,
but occasionally a youngster gets a
phase of sea-sickness and refuses to
enjoy the sport.

Appreciation for the Potato

In this country the chief, and practi.
oally only, interest in the potato today
is as a vegetable for the table. We
are greatly surpassed in this use by
Europe, and Germany in particular In
that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
in normal times, while our own was
two and half. The laborers of east
ern Germany ate II bushels per an
mum. The other European countries
are. as rule, far above us and the
diet of many an Irishman is said to
be potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast. dinner and supper. In addi.
ton to this direct consumption, uses
of the potato largely unknown to Uncle
Sam are for flour. starch, dextrine,
glucose and alcohol.

The FinQer Nails History

The rapidity of the growth of the
nails is indicative of the health. The
growth of the nails on the right hand
is in most people more rapid than of
those on the left hand. Another GU
rious point is that the rate of growth
of the nail depends directly on the
length of the finger; thus the nails on
the two middle fingers of men grow
more rapidly than those on the first
and third fingers, respectively, and
these in turn are more speedy in the
growth than those on the little finger.

Canada's PROMISING Water Power

An important feature Of the water
powers of Canada is their fortunate
situation with respect to existing
commercial centers. With economic
transmission range of practically
every important city from the Allan

central western prairies, there are
clustered water-power sites which
will meet the probable demands for
hydro-power for generations.

STUNT TO CURE HIccoUGHs.

A Spanish physician claims to have
been very successful in curing stub
born cases of hiccoughs by this treat
ment: The patient lies down and
draws up his knees until his thighs
are pressed tightly to his abdomen,
the lower part of the legs being
pressed against the thighs by bend
ing the knees. The position is held
Cor several minutes. The effect of
this is to press the abdominal organs
up against the diaphragm and to sus-
tin the pressure until the diaphragm
ceases it's spasmodic contraction.
