was a pretty good sort of a fellow. The

the setting aside of Inoney for cigars

It probably was an improvement when
the elaborate outlays , or former days,
which often led to indulgences preperly
called orgies, were curtailed. To the
majority of minds there is something in-
congruoue in merry making at- the time
et the death of an •esteemed 'friend, and
the prevailing custom now is to keep the
expressions of sorrow uppermost. But
there is nothing new in the occasional
outcropping of the older and tieepseat-
ed idea Met a "good fellow" should pro-
vide a feast for those left behind at his
death. The "eat, drinkand be merry,

had a good many adberents since the

Next thb Hindoo coolie. One thou-
sand, four hundred and sixty East In-
'diiins have arrived in British Calm-
' tie and 2,000 more have booked pas-
eage. There is a growing sentiment
among the coolies of India to go out to
the occidental world for the purpose of
earning higher wages. There is a good
deal of discontent in India among the
laboring classes, especially the capable
and more intelligent laborers. A good-
ly number have gone lo Natal, where
they earn from $30 to $35 per menthe
whereas they would not be able to earn
more than $6 to -$8 per month at home,
in most tocalities the 'average monthly
wage is not more than $3 to $4. The
question of labor supply for the tea gar-
dens in Assam has been so serious that
it is engaging the attentton of the gov-
ernment of India, which has come to
look upon the scarcity of labor in As-
sam and its necessary consequences
•-with some degree of alarm. An itves-
alga-lion committee was appointed to dis-
eaver the causes and to provide a re-
medy. Same have ascribed the cause to

years and confers on the employer the
right of private arrest. 'With the prices

A dirty coffee-pot will spoil the
-strongest infueion, so wash and dry the
coffee-pot each clay after use.
Save chicken bones, for they form a
valuable addition to the stockpot when
'soup is in preparation.
• Salt is an exterminator for Moths, e's-
pecially in carpets. Sweep the carpet,
scalier dried salt over, and roll UP
tightly. Store in a very dry place.
To polish kitchen knives, mix a little
bicarbonate of soda with the brickdost
and scan them thoroughty. '
Fill pincushions with well-driecl coffee
grounds, for enice or moths will never
touch them, and the needles and pins
will not rust.'
Before using copper vessels for cook-
ing rub the inside with a piece of cut
lemon, then rinse in hot water, and dry
with a cloth. This will destroy any
verdigefe wIffeli may have been on the
copper.

Some hints on cleaning lamp chini.
neys will no doubt be useful just now,
when we are apt to carry our lamps
about in the dark house, and the
draughts cause the chimney to be
smoked. First, when a chimney is now,
it should always be washed in a soapy
lalher, and a small mop passed Up the
chimney again and again till all specks
and spots ma removed. It a chimney is
not perfectly cleaned before it is. used,
there is al's as a risk Of the dirty MarkS
burning in, and being very diflioult to
erase. A smoky Wino chimney may, of
course, be elevays washed clean; but.
better than this, take a small sponge and
tie it on the top of a stick, slightly
moisten it with paraffin, and brush the
glass with it, after\vards rub till dry
with a Clean cloth, and the chimney
will be perfectly bright. Another plan
is to • rub -the smoked chimney with
methylated epirit and whiting till the
glass is clear,
STRANGE PER'SIAN CUSTOM

Your Grievance.
In Persia -there is inc strange custom
known as bast It simply means that
any one having -a grievance by taking
refuge on the premises of a noblemen
may demand 'that the nobleman take up
his cause as though th,e bastee Were one
of hie own household. There seems le
be no limit to the custom, for the petty
criminal often takes refuge, or -bast, in
a mosque, where he is safe, if his .friends
are allowed to feed him. If the police
want him, they must starve him out.

years in one of the legations patiently

LONDON'S LORD MAYOR
WIIAT IIE IIAS BONE FOR TIIE
AIIMY,'rlIE CITY AND TIIE P0011.
Sir
William P. Treioar Ilos 000)11
linoom tor Veers as the Chil-
dren's Alderman.
A couple of weeks ago ono of the.
leading 'items of English news was the
visit of the retiring Lord Mayor to Paris.
'fins 1 was practically the 1r!aledictory
function of his year, and it \vas a most,
successful one. • Now the , ppers are full
of the descriptions of the 'functions at-
tending the inaugutation el the Lord
Mayor for the coming year, Sir William
P. Treloar, heed' of the geeat carpet
honee of Treloar Sons. Unfortunately
the clay of the Lard Mayor's show was
dismal and rainy, .so that the pageant
waS somewhat spoiled.. However,this,
untoward event will not detract from tbe
popularity of the inctunbent or theoffice.
THE CHILDREN'S' ALDERMAN.
This year's Lord Mayor is one of the
most popular aldermen who have occu-
pied the chair during the present cen-
tury, and les popularity has been . won
not alone on account of his services to
the city and -corporation•Which have
conferred then highest honor upon him,
but because of his charity and his great
public spirit in a far wider field. For
years past he has •been knovet as the
Children's Alderman, because' of the
effortS'Which he.and, Lady Treloar have
made on behalf of the 'children ofethe
poor, ' especially the crippled 'children;
but it enuat always be remembered that
beyond this cbaritable kindliness his
knighthood was on when, 10 the year
1900, he threw hiniself with hisaccus-
tomed ardor and energy into the putrio-
tic task of aiding the Lord Mayor in
raising and equippeng the City of Lon-
don Volunteers -the C. I. V.'s. In that
3 -ear he was sheriffe and lie had been
elected alderman of his ward eight years
b
WIDENED LUDGATE I -TILL.
It is interesting to know that this
veritable merchant prince was Isom at
the loot of Ludgate Hill, in the heart, of
the city, and near where his warehouse
now stands, as in those days it was the
custom for merchants to live above their
Shops. Sir William took °vex -the busi-
ness left by his lather and built it up to
large proportions. His motto for busi-
ness success, phrased in the language of
the mill* operatives, is, "It's dogged as
does it" Though he has been a very
busy mail all his life, he-has.found time
to enjoy literature and art and to write
a book, "Ludgate' Mil,' giving a history
of that historic thoroughfare. His iri-
terest in the street is more than historic
because he was the per•son chiefly re-
sponsible for widening that street from
47 feet to 60 feet throughout its length
against vely' strong opposition._
NO SINECURE.
By no means a sinecure is this. posi-
tion. The Lord Mayor receives a .salary
of $50,000 a year, and is given rent free
the palatial -Mansion Houee for a resi-
dence, but his enormous expenses are
not 'nearly met by his salary, and lie is
obliged to draw heavily upon his pia -
vale resources. A poor man cannot be
Lord Mayor and uphold the traditions
and tequieements. •
There are numerous banquets and
other enteatainments to be given, and
innumerable .calle upon the official
purse. His public duties demand every
hour of thd Lord Mayor's time, •and a
retiring official is usually in need of a
long rest.
During the day he must preside over.
meetings for public or benevolent ob-
jects, and take part in many important
ceremonies. He., must open schools' and
hospitals, distribute prizes, inaugurate
measines for the relief of. distress.
ATTENDS PRIVY COUNCIL.
- At night he is constantly called upon
la entertain distinguished personages at
the Mansion House, preside at charity
entertainments or attendssocial or pub-
lic functions of various kinds. Several
times during his term he must give a
splendid ball at his official. residence.
- Upon the -death of a Sovereign the
Lord Mayor must attend the Privy
Council; at a coronation he is Chief but-
ler, and for his services is presented
with a gold cup end cover.
A justice ex officio the Loid,Mayor
holds court; he presides over the alder-
men, and has a number of other duties
to -occupy his time. ,
It is no eaey year` to which Sir Wil-
liam Treloar is looking, but it is be-
lieved he will acquit himself with dig-
nity and credit.

TO APPLY TOUCH OF BEADING.
On the new fur coats head -embroidery
is being applied M the form of an up-
right collar, belt, cuff 'bands, and eome-
dines strapping. The effect is pleasing
and • the work is not difficult to do at
home. A box of beads -gold, silver, or
cOlored-a fine long needle, and a trans-
fer pattern with some white net to take
the pattern on form the stock in trade.
An easier plan Ls to bead some lace mo-
tifs or insertion of lace, as tam' the
beading does not neeta to'be so closely
done to produce a good effect. 'When a
transfer pattern is chosen it is necessary
to thoroughly cover the ground mith the
beads anitclosely to mit away -the net
around the edges of the design. On a
lace foundation there is no such /woes-
sity.
A white ground, whether a eloth or
velvet, es' useful to make the foundation
of a vest, revers ahd cuffs covered well
with beading or with braid embroidery.
'rho white goes well with every color
and the tones of the beads or the ems-
broldery silks or braids worked on this
foundation will be chosen, to contrast
well With the Maincoloring of the
gown. With brown, dor instance, crim-
son is , available, white, pink, green,
blue, and mauve are etill successful as
brighteners up of a brown frock.
The mixture of two shades, breeve and
wine color, green ond royal purple, blue
and lieliotrope, violet and bottle green,
produees an effect quite different fro
that of any one shade when the shad
are ihterwoven in beads, braids, or e
broidery
