UTAN THE QUEEN'S HOUSEHOLD WOMEN WHO OCCUPY POSTS OF HONOR IN IT. • Ditties of the Eight Ladies Who ]gill the High and Honorable Positions. The ladies of Queen Mary's household aro divided into four classes. First come the mistress of the robes, then the lathes of the bedchamber, usually styled ladies in waiting, women of the bedcham- ber and maids of honor. Queen Victoria as a • reigning sovereign had eight ladies of each class in her household, says the Gentlewo- mean. The number retained by a queen consort„ however, varies according to ber pleasure and convenience. Queen Mary has at present in her service one lady in waiting, three etxra ladies in waiting and four women of the bedchamber. Maids of honor had not been appointed at the time of writing. The office of mistress of the robes to a queen regnant is a political one'and changes with the Govern- ment but that of a queen consort is in her own gift and may be held for an indefinite period. The mis- tress of the robes must always be a duchess, whereas in case of a queen consort a widowed duchess may be appointed if more convenient. MISTRESS OF THE ROBES. The duties of a mistress of the robes are limited to State teem - ion. This high official is in the royal suite at courts, palace balls and at the meeting of Parliament. At such times she stands behind the Queen, and she walk behind her royal mistress in any state pro- cession. Also when a procession drives through the streets the car- riage in which she is seated follows next after the state carriage of the sovereigns. Her duties are many at the time of a coronation, and during the ceremony she is in close attendance on her royal lady:. When. their Ma- jesties aro in London a mistress of the robes resides in her own house and is conveyed to and from the steno of her duties in ono of the royal carriages. But if the court is at Windsor she remains under the roof of Windsor Castle. The Duchess of .Devonshire, who has been chosen to fill this high post, is the elder daughter of Lord and Lady Lansdowne. She is tall and fair and .dignified, fond of home life and a devoted mother to her seven children. She has the grand manner antiedill no doubt be one of our leading hostesses; but on account of mourning Devonshire House has not as yet under her reign been the scene of any soci- ety entertainments. A LADY OF THE BEDCHAMBER to either a Queen Regent or a Queen Consort must be a peeress. Her "waiti" varies from three weeks to emonth, according to the Queen's convenience. And whether she is at her own home in London er staying at Windsor Castle she must always hold herself in readi- ness and consider her time as en- tirely at her royal lady's disposal. She would be in attendance on the Queen at halls, dinners, weddings or, any other -formal entertainment and of course at all state ceremon- ials, Extra ladies of the bedchamber are appointed according to the royal pleasure, but they have .no salary and no fixed "waits" in at- etendance. Ladies who take office as women of the bedchamber must ' have rank, but they need not be peeresses. Their "waits" are ar- ranged in the same way as those of ladies in waiting, Maids of honor are usually the ladies youngest in age in the Queen's household, They must be eithei the daughters of viscounts. er barons, or else the granddaugh- ters of peers. The daughters of. dukes, marquises and earls are of too high rank for the position. Maids of honor do duty in con - pies, The time ofwaiting is four. weeks, and each maid is in attend- ance for that period about three times. in the course of twelve months, When the Court is in Lon- don the maids of honor reside in thole own homes, and not at Buck- ingham Palace, but ars in the naso of the other court ladies, a royal carriage is sent to convey them to and from the scene of action. A MAID OF HONOR does not drive with the Queen or attend her Majesty at dinners, but she is often en duty at the opera, and on all state occasions she forms part of the suite or takes her place in the royal procession, When the court is at Windsor a maid of honor i'ecides at the castle and is in rather close attendance, One graceful duty is to hand a bouquet of flowers to her royal mistress when the state procession passes on its way to the dining room. • Maids of honor receive much kindness from their royal lady, but a few wise rules are made which needless to say, are carefully re- spected. "Pieture" hats and an outre style of dress is not allow- ed, and a maid of honor while on duty may not play cards for money or go out alone on foot in the streets of London. She must ei- ther be accompanied by a friend or by some sort of duenna, A maid of honor is expected to be clever and accomplished. She. must be a good linguist, talk well and be a practised reader aloud. Also she should be bright, quick and obliging> -and possess that po- liteness of kings—punctuality. It is also assumed that her lips will be sealed as regards the private -af- fairs of royalty and the ways and manners of the household. If a maid of honor chances to be a peer's daughter she of course bears the courtesy title of "hon- orable," hon-orable _' but if not she is invested with that style and title immedi- ately after her appointment. And this she bears for life, whether single or married. And she receives a badge of office, which takes the form of a miniature of the • QUEEN SET IN DIAMONDS. In everyday life this can be worn as wished, but whenits owner is in waiting it must be attached to the left side of the bodice and used as a decoration. And the badge is retained for life and not given up on marriage or when leaving the royal service. The office if maid of honor is highly esteemed, as it gives much social status and in the end often leads to a successful mar- riage. Queen Mary has appointed Lady Shaftesbury as her lady of the bed- chamber. Lady Shaftesbury has many charms and graces and as Lady Grosvenor's daughter it may be guessed that she is clever and cultured beyond the average. She likes hooks and rending, is fond of music and when in town may often be seen at the opera and at con- certs both public and private. She is a good hostess and receives many parties at St. Gi]es's House, in Dorset. To write of jewels sounds hack- neyed, but it may be said that Lady Shaftesbury has one most cherish- ed- ornament. This is the brooch given her by Sir Thomas Lipton when she christened his yacht Shamrock III. It shows the Sham- rock's flag in emeralds end the flag of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club in enamel and sapphires, while be- tween these are a shamrock and the figure III. in large diamonds. Lacly Shaftesbury has two little girls and a son and heir, Lord Ash- ley. Queen Mary has chosen Lady Airlie, Lady Bradford and Lady Lamington as her extra ladies in waiting. Lady Airlie is sister to Lord Arran, Lady Esther Smith and Lady Salisbury. She suffered a sad bereavement in the death of her. husband, who was killed in the Boer war, and she now resides with her youthful son, the present Lord Airlie, at Cortachy Castle in Scot- land. Her still young and beauti- ful face is framed in a cloud of soft gray hair and oho has a gentle and most attractive personality. Some time ago she went to South Africa to - visit the grave of her husband,. as he was by his own will buried where be fell on Diamond Hill. Lady Airlie is fond of flow- ers and at her Scotch borne has made a garden'of friendship, where every flower has been planted by a personal friend or a visitor of distinction. Lasting fame means doing things so often that the world doesn't get a chance to forget, MODERN FOOD SUPPLIES CHANGES IN OUR INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMS. Disappearance of . the Millstone—. Mennen/3 Brcal•Malring Menne Oho Sante, The remarkable changes of the latter half of the nineteenth cen- tury in the means of communica- tion and transport have enormously altered commercialand industrial relations. Improvements inna- chinery and vastly increased com- petition have also made a lasting impression, The appearance of railways, the post office, tele- phones, sounded the knell of small and local enterprises and prepared the way for gigantic combined in- dustries. A review of these changes as they affect the preparation of feeds and food -stuffs has recently been made by Prof. Lindet of the National Agronomic Institute of France. Reference is chiefly to French in dustries, but some of the points, says the British Medical Journal, are of general interest, In the manufacture of bread the old mill- stons, which had done duty, for centuries, hoe since 1884 rapidly been replaeed by more efficacious and economical machinery. This has caused the disappearance of the old country 'nri\lls and has ,insured the production of A MUCH FINER FLOUR. In the actual baking of bread there has not been 00011a note- worthy change; the necessity for the early delivery of fresh bread every morning still enables the lo- cal baker to maintain his place. Attempts at wider organization and co-operation have only been to a certain extent successful, but great- erprogress in this direction may be expected with the cheapening of motor conveyance,• In the wine industry similar changes have been effected. Keen competition, bad years, the ravages of vine pests and the introduction of many chemical novelties have gendered the old family vintages, famous for 'centuries in many cases, unable to keep abreast of the times with the usual result that they have been bought up to form part of larger concerns. With large oa-. pital these have been able to meet successfully various emergencies and to apply scientific methods to what has become a national indus- try. DAIRY PRODUCTS. Of more interest to us are the facts with regard to milk, butter and cheese. The growth of towns has necessitated bringing the larger part of their milk supply from a considerable_ distance and has led to +he great increase in milk traffic on railways. Two-thirds of the milk supply of Paris is brought in by rail. This has called for elab- orate methods of keeping the milk fresh and pure. The establishment of large milk companies has tend- ed largely toward the standardiz- ation of the milk supply for instead of receiving the milk from one or two cows the customer obtains a .uniform mixture from thousands of cows, and he has the assurance that it will always he pretty mucic of the same strength and quality. Private butter making is giving place to commercial enterprises on a large scale. Butter making has become such a fine art, involving so many 'complicated processes, that the individual has been unable to afford the latest improvements in machinery. Much the same ap- plies to the making of cheese, al- though in both cases certain cir- cumscribed localities and small dairies with a well established re- putation are able to maintain their place on the market, BUTTER SUBSTITUTES. The manufacturers of margarine, and other substitutes for butter, has had an important effect on the butter trade and has led to much legislation with the object of pre- serving agricultural interests. In France in 1908 the amount of but- ter substitutes manufactured was more than one-fifth of the amount of butter. The production of su- gar, unlike that of butter and cheese, has never been an indivi- dual business. It has always in- volved costly plants and a large number of hands. Even; here, however, the tendency for business to grow and for smaller ones to be merged in them is very marked. In 1870 there were' in France 620 manufactories, each prnc- ing an average of 770 tons. To -day there are only half that number, but their average production is four times as great. Such is the movement --gradual, it is true, but none the less cer- tain—which is creeping into our in- dustrial customs, and which owes its initiation to the demand for bet- ter and oheaper production. Its future developments will be inter- esting to witness, and perhaps we may live to see the realization of E, bida's facetious scheme for lay- ing in food supplies by means of a tubo from a groat eentrnl kitchen. A man known but little if he tells the ;nissur li3l he knows. SOIENOEE NOTES, What dile Scientists el the World are heing, The word "caloriculture" has been coined to designate the riew system of horticulture which is de- signed to replace the old French style of intensive fruit and veget- able forcing'by soil cultivation. Within the last • two centuries about fifty metals have been discov- ered by chemist explorers, but use has been found for only a few of them. Only about one out of every fif- teen persons has both eyes in per. feet condition. A rapid growth of the finger nails is considered to indicate good health. Paper may be made a good elec- trical conductor by impregnating it with carbon: A school devoted exclusively to the study of motor boats has been started at New York. Paris has thirty-two miles of ue- derground railways and the con- atruction of twenty-three more miles has been authorized, The safest way to destroy black gunpowder is to throw it into water thereby dissolving the saltpetre. The average annual death rate of the armies of the world in time of peace is leas than -one per hun- dred.. A species of stiff grass, which grows abundantly in India, is used for sticks in the manufacture of matches in that country. The use of wall paper containing designs in vertical lines will make' a room in which it is used look both larger and higher. An .experiment ozone plant will be established at St. Petersburg to purify the city's water supply, drawn from the River Neva. One of the most ingenious avia- tors is trying out ,a combined dirig- ible.balloon and aeroplane, a cigar shaped gas bag helping to raise and support the machine, Tests made by army officers indi- cate that projectiles fired from the heaviest guns when they penetrate concrete do socleanly, without splintering or scattering it. In connection with the celebra- tion of the centennial of the inde- pendence of Venezuela this year therewill bo established national military, nautical, and normal schools. .TiRUPPS MAKE AWFUL BOMB. New Destroyer Which Scatters Poi- sonous Gases. The Krupps have invented and are making for the German Gov- ernment a new kind of siege gun said to be more terrible in its pos- sibilities of destruction than any- thing hitherto in use. The new type of : ordinance is called a "bomb -cannon," and is intended for use by besiegers during the fin- al storming of fortresses, when the besiegers' own guns cannot bo fired owing to the danger of hitting their own men. The bomb will supplant the hand grenade so much used during the storming of the forts at Port Ar- thur. In addition to the damage it causes by explosion it will spread poisonous gases. Krupp's daughter who is his sole heir and who is responsible for the management of the works, is said to have protested at first against the "bomb -gun," especially the ar- rangement by which poisonous gas- es are spread. She is understood to have become an ardent secret friendof the Carnegie propaganda for peace by arbitration. The experts in the gun works represent- ed to her, it is reported, that the "bomb -guns" are mainly to be made as seige deterrents. —�5• SCOTCH BARONET A SAINT. Gives Yip Estates and Labors as Missionary Monk Until Blind. Although British baronets have the reputation of being wicked, probably owing to the fact that the villain of almost every melodrama is "a bald, bad baronet," there are some of them who are almost saints, To the latter category be- longs Sir David Hunter Blair, a barefoot monk of the Order of St. Benedict, who, after. spending a number of years laboring in the swamp districts of the Amazon River to convert the natives to Christianity, has now returned home to Europe perfectly blind, in the faint hope that some miracle may be accomplished toward the re- storing of his eyesight by the world fanned ooculist, Professor Pagen- stecher at Weisbaden. The baronet graduated from Ox- ford and married. Upon his wife's death he obtained special permis- sion from the Pope to take orders and fawned over the family's Ayr. shire estate to his brother, a naval captain. Sir ])avid, who is the fifth bar- onet of his line, has also done'mis- sionary world in Patagonia. He is the only monk on reeord who be- longs to any clubs, having retain. cd his membership in the Caledom- ian, in Edinburgh, and of the Con- servative, !d, London. NEW 'TERROR FOR FORGER Crime Can be Deteetdi1 by Ibis Pulse Beats; A new means of deteeting forg- ery is promised by Dr, Lindsay Johnson, a London ophthalmic surgeon and author of many amen. tine works, who has just elaborated a new theory with regard to viduality in writing, Ile maintains that in certain dis- eases a person's pulse beats are individual and that no one suffer- ing' from any such diseases can control even for a brief space of time the frequency or peculiar ir- regularities of his heart's action as shown by a chart recording his pul- satlon. Such a chart is obtained for medical purposes by means of a sphygmograph, an instrument fitted to the patient's wrist and supplied with a needle which automatically records on a prepared sheet of pa- per,the peculiarforce and fre- quency of the pulsation, Dr. Lindsay Johnson holcls the opinion that the pen in the band of a writer serves in a medified do- gree the Caine end as the sphygmo- graph and that in a person's hand- writing one can see by projecting the letters, greatly magnified,on a screen the scarcely perceptible turns and quivers made in the lines by the sppntaneous action of that person's peculiar pulsation. To prove this the doctor carried out an experiment at, Charing Oross Hospital. At his request' a number of patients differing from heart and kidney diseases wrote the Lord's Prayer in their ordinary handwrit ing, The different manuscripts were then taken and examined mi- croseopieally. By throwing them, highly magnified, on a screen, the jerks or involuntary motions dole to the patient's peculiar pulsations were distinctly visible. The handwriting of •persons in normal health, says Dr. Lindsey Johnson, does not always show their pulse beats, What one can say,' however, is that when a document purporting to be written by a ter- taie person contains traces of pulse beats and the normal handwriting of that person does not show them, then clearly the document is a for- gery. HOME RULE FOR SCOTT AND. The Movement is Steadily Gaining Strength. The movement in favor of home rule for Scotland with regard to its purely local affairs is steadily gain- ing strength. , The Scottish Nation- al Committee, which is composed of a number of the leading Scottish M. P.'s, has issued a striping man- ifesto, in which it says :— The settlement of the constitu- tional question will offer an oppor- tunity for reorganizing Parlia- mentary business on a basis of de- volution. Ireland's claim to self- government is not likely to be over- looked; that of Scotland is, in its own way, no less urgent. A policy of devolution for Scot- tish affairs involves a break with the antiquated procedure of two centuries. This procedure was im- posed upon us at the union, when Scotland was practically delivered into the hands of bureaucracy. Scotland is frequently legislated for as an afterthought. Clauses dealing with her affairs aro unex- pectedly tacked on to bills intended to deal with purely English ques- tions. Such Scottish legislation as is introduced is initiated by the permanent officials of the different boards, is prepared in London, and becomes a Government bill before Scottish members have had a chance of discussing their views be- fore those responsible' for its in- troduction, This has been the fate of Scotland under all Governments. The problem before lis is to devise some system of representative con- trol over Scottish affairs in Scot- land, a principle which, if applied to the different parts of the United Kingdom, would provide for a true expression af.its own affairs, leav- ing the Imperial Parliament free to transact the business of the Em- pire, ANCIENT BRITISH SHIPS. One is 122 Years Old and Another Ten Years Younger. Some ancient ships that rival even the celebrated American schooner Polly must be placed to the credit of Great Britain. First in order of age is the Jenny of Car- narvon, 122 years old. Tho next is the May, of Whitelraven, some- times called the Molly Ashcroft to distinguish her from other ]days, The May was built at Cowes in 1798, so that she is 112 years old, ten years older than the Polly. Her present owner regularly fish- es in her with a crew of three or ker. She is a jigger smack. She was dismasted in a gale last w5nter but she is in first-class trim to -day and her owners sPeek highly of her seagoing qualities. Eighteen years ago the May was practically rebuilt, but a boat mast be essentially sound to stand exten sive repairs, and the fact therefore does not really detract so much as one might think from the wonder of her immense age. REAL RULER 01 GERMANY IS vomit' NEWSPAPERMAN, WIIO WIEJJJ)S GREAT POWER IPammann Controls Press 'Depart ment of German Foreign Office, The assumption of his official duties by the new German Secre- tary of State for Foreign'. Affairs, Herr von Kiderlen-Waeehter, which lids just taken place, serves to ennihasizn the fact, says the Berlin correspondent of The Len - doe Daily Express, that the real controller of Germany's foreign policy and the virtual "boss" of the Imperial Government is an ex, journalist ---Privy Oouncillor Ham- mann—now the senior member of the permanent staff of the Foreign Office. Herr Hammann, who is a•man of academie education, and possesses the degree of doctor of laws, was a comparatively unknown newspa- per writer when, souse seventeen years ago, he attracted the atten- tion of the Imperial Ohancellor of that period, General Count Omp- rivi, by writing a pamphlet on the best methods of combating the alarming growth of THE SOOIALIST MOVEMENT in the Kaiser's dominions. Count Caprivi was so impressed by the talent revealed in that essay that he brought about Herr Hammann's appointment to control the Press Department of the German Foreign Office. The department exists to enable the Germain Government to keep a close grip both en the home and foreign newspaper press. It ful- ly recognized in Berlin that Press inspiration is one of the most im- portant adjuncts of government, and that it is worth while maintain- ing a separate department of the Foreign Office simply and solely for the purpose of influencing the newspapers of the world in a way calculated . to serve Germany's in- terests. This task has been under Privy Councillor Hammann's manage- ment for a decade and a half, and in discharging his duties he has made himself the most powerful man in the German Empire, next to the Kaiser, and there are good reasons for believing,that William II. himself stands somewhat in awe of the CONTROLLER OF THE PRESS. Privy Councillor Hammann wields more power behind the scenes than the Imperial` Chancel- lor himself, and it is an open sec- ret that he ejected the last Secre- tary of State for Foreign Affairs, Baron von Schoen, from office. Having disposed of the last Sec- retary of State, Privy Councillor Hammann gave a fresh proof of his power by creating the new Secre- tary of State, Herr von Kiderlen- Waechter. Privy Councillor Hammann cre- ated and maintains bis influence by his grip on the newspaper press, and thus indirectly supplies the proof that even in the semi -abso- lute monarchies of Continental Eu- rope the newspaper is a potent in- strument of government. There is a certain irony of fate in the rise to power of a penman in a. coun- try in which the sword has always been regarded as the supreme ar- biter of the nation's destinies. LONDON'S POVERTY. In June Last There Were 116,010 Paupers in That City. London does not hide its poverty, and London's poverty makes no ef- fort to hide itself. According to official statistics there were in Lon- don an June 25 last 116,016 pau- pers, persons in receipt of relief from public charities. This pro- vides a ratio of pauperism of 24 per thousand of population. The number of paupers in re- ceipt of relief in England and Wales on June 25 was 762,111; indoor pau- pers totalled 260,449; outdoor, 501,- 662. The rate of pauperism to po- pulation in England and Wales is 21.3 per thousand. It is encouraging to observe that the rate is slowly diminishing. There ars various causes suggested for the existenceof this vast num- ber of paupers, but the economists cannot agree upon any single cause for it. That it •exists is fact enough for the average Londoner. --e ONE MAN'S WISDOM. Newed—"I inserted an advertise - meet for a plain cook last week and there wasn't a single applicant showed up."

One of the most famous of Bor- der sheep breeders, Mr. Rt he rt Clark, Oldhamstoeks Mains, died recently, During the past year 62,400 free midday meals were sefved to poor scholars at the Leith schools. Fifty medals and three challenge trophies are offered as prizes for piping at the annual Highland games at ,Coeval. Mary Hirshelwood, a shop girl, was killed by a gun shot which was fired at a shooting booth at Brodick ' Fair, but went wild. A jury in the Court of Session has awarded $10,090 damages to the daughters of a Glasgow man killed by a motor car here. The Glasgow police dogs have frightened away the suspicions looking individuals who used to haunt quiet suburban, nooks. About 1,400 persons took in the annual fete given by Mr. and.

The grouse season on the Scot- tish moors promises to he a record breaker this year, as the weather during nesting time has been 'fav- orable. The effects of the Lloyd George budget with its tax on whiskey were felt in Scotland last year in a de- cline of 27 per cent. in drunken- ness. Principal George Adam Smith, of Aberdeen University, has announc- ed that Lord Stratheona, Chancel- lor of the University, had given £10,000 for the founding of a Chair of. Agriculture in the university. Saughton House, the fine old man- sion which was a feature of the last Exhibition at Edinburgh, is to be put in a thorough state of re- pair and improvements made in its immediate neighborhood. While workmen were engaged digging in a. field in the neighbor- hood of the Tower Braes, Clack- mannan, recently, they came upon about two pailfuls of pennies, prin- cipally of George III., and some of Queen Victoria. An interesting addition has been made to the valuable collection of relics at Burns's Cottage. It is the old stone trough which was in use in the Tani o' Slianter Inn in the time of Burns. The trough was re- moved -.from the inn forty years ago on the introduction of the new water supply. It 'vas given to e farmer, and subsequently passed into the, hands of an Ayr contrac- tor, from whom it has now been ac- quired. SENTENCE SERMONS. A jellyfish has no collisions. A loose tongue often indicates a tight fist. No man is old enough to be' an- other man's conscience. Character is seen in motives, but it never stays there. The see -me -suffer saint is a twist- eded sign on the Zion road. Many fail to do any great good because they will not do liitle kind- nesses. Many preachers would reform if sentenced to read their own ser- mons. No man is really trusting provi flabby. dente who is letting his muscles get This world knows nothing real or worth while without dreams and. visions. You cannot really love men un- less you are making it possible to live with them. No man can long be content to measure his possessions by the pov- erty of other people, The first thing some folks will want to do in heaven will be to elect a new set of officers. Tt is far easier to praise the for- giveness of enemies than to practice the forgiveness of friends. Many a conscience that works well at the second person notch, gets out of gear at the first person singular. The minister who speaks from a -monk's experience would preach a good deal better for .a'course as a merchant. It seems to make some folks won- derfully comfortable to tell tle; Lord just what they think of dile an- other, Tho saddest case in this world is when one thinks the almighty has destined him to be happy at the prize of another's misery, 1 •
