FORETOLD HIS OWN DOOM.
Lord Kitchener (Felt That ,He Would
Lop. His Life at Sea.
Lord Kitchener had a sort of fore
boding of an accident at sea, So much
was this the case that he never cross-
ed from Dover to Calais without wear.
bag a life belt waistcoat, one that he
had specially made for him in Egypt
before he made bis famous advance to
Khartum.
Though so often on the sea and an
excellent sailor, be detested sea trips
and never felt comfortable on board
tiny ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in any part
of the world in wbich he might be, he
took care never to allow his purchase
to be on the vessel on which he was a
passenger.
When Lord Kitchener was in prance
a few months before he lost his life
at sea oft the Orkney islands be was
visiting the British front. There he
met his friend, •the naval Captain
Testu de Balfncourt, then on service
at Dunkirk, whom Lord Kitchener ask-
ed to be his special aid if he should
need one later during the war.
Lord Kitchener told his friend how
a heavy 'shell -bed burstclose to him
while on this visit, but added, "That
did not disturb me, for I know that I
shall die at sea," -New York Sun.
STREETS OF LONDON.
A Name System That is Confusing
Even to Residents of the City.
When it comes to confusing street
systems London should not -be over-
looked. Some consider it the most con-
fusing, even Londoners not always be•
lig sure of locations.
As an example of what one meets in
the British capital a man once asked
to be directed to a certain house on
King street. He was sent in one di-
rection. When lee did not come to
King street as soon as he expected he
asked again for Bing street and was
sent in an opposite direction. Again
not sure of his direction, be asked .a
third time for King street and was
asked which King street he wanted.
The question stumped him, not know,
Ing that London has nineteen King
streets. This number does not include
the King streets in London's suburbs.
If this man who wanted King street
bad asked for Queen street hie predic-
ament, would have been even greater,
for there are thirty-fourQueen>,etrapes

One of the traditions of the British
Royal Yacht club is of Lord Yarbor-
ough's Falcon, the crew of which were
paid extra wages on' condition that
they they submitted to the usual rules
in force on British vessels of war.
These included flogging under certain
circumstances, and it is said that in
consideration of the additional sum
paid by Lord Yarborough some of the
crew cheerfully submitted to the oc-
casionaldah„appl'atio' oLth"e cat-o-nnee

willingness to undergo the experiment
whenever it was deemed necessary for
the preservation of good order."
Superstitions About Hares.
There have been at various periods
all neer of queer superstitione.
about hares, which would' to in-
dicate that the believers were them-
selves madder than any bare that ever
gamboled in March. Its brains were
believed to make children's teeth come
quickly and painlessly; those who ate
its flesh became lovely and gracious
for a week after; a waistcoat made of
hare's skin straightened the bodies
both of young and old, etc. Even to-
day there are those who take as an
evil amen the crossingroad of the be-
