MEMORIAL, AT SALISBURY.
Marble Tablet to Americans Killed
In Train Wreck.
In the ancient and beautiful Salle,
bury cathedral, Ambassador Whitelaw
Ilei4 recently unveiled a handsome
marble tablet in memory of those hill -
ed is the terrible accident a ;rear ago,
when by the derailing of the Ameri-
can line boat train 29 persons, meet-
ly Americans, lost their lives. The
ceremony, the impressiveness of which
was emphasized by the presence of the
widows and children of the strainmen
killed in the disaater, all in the deep-
est mourning, was attended by many
dignitaries of the church, the mayor
and members of the corporation in
their robes of office, the American
consul at Southampton, Mr, Slant;
the United Stutes consul at Ports-
mouth, Mr. Maim; numerous visitors
and a large congregation of citizens
of Salisbury, through whose generos-
ity the memorial was made possible.
At the conclusion of the formal cere-
mony of the unveiling, for which the
tablet was draped with American and
British flags, the bishop of Salisbury,
Dr, Wordsworth, dedicated the tab-
let in a short address, concluding
with the words:
"May God accept this gift at our
bands and bless it as a token of love
that binds our kindred nations one to
another,"
In his address to the congregation
in behalf of the American nation, Mr,
Rid recalled the incidents of the
calamity by which "of 47 passengers
to London half were stoppedhe
re to
await the final trumpet," making spe-
cial reference to the `hapless young
bride" (Mrs. Frederick Henry Cos-
sitt, daughter of ex -Judge Duero of
New York), whose bereavement was
specially mentioned in the Queen's
message of sympathy. After a refer-
ence to the "Sympathy shown on
every hand" and "the multitudes of
manifestations from all classes and
conditions," the ambassador con-
cluded: -
"They reach a fitting climax to -day
in the memorial you are setting up in
this cathedral to be a testimony while
these walls endue to that quick com-
munity df feeling which, in spite of
distance and circumstance in our
deepest sorrow as in our highest joys.
binds us together as almost one great
family still. We do not understand
in the least the terrible event we re-
cord, yet I am persuaded that not
even its mystery or awful severity
will keep a people of one blood from
clinging still to a single faith. The
American poet (John G. Whittier)
says:
"'I know not where his islands lift
"'Their fronded palms in air;
"'I only know I cannot drift,
"'Beyond his love and care.'"

MONEY IN RUBBISH.
City of Glasgow Gets Good Income
From; its Sale.
How money may be made from the'
offal and rubbish of a city is shown
in the annual report to the cleansing
committee of Glasgow corporation, of
Superintendent McColl, of that city's
garbage department.
At the outset, Mr. McColl states
that the estimated expenditure of
$710,725 was exceeded by $10,310, an
increase really duo to three items, the
chief of which was created by the ex-
ceptionally., heavy snowfalls, The ex-
tra world in this connection cost the
department $6,365. •
On the other hand, the estimated
revenue was $191,600, while the in-
come received was $6,290 above that
sum, which was really due to the ex-
tra revenue derived from the sale of
tins, scrap iron, and other material.
Although showing a decrease from
those of last year, the sales of both
city and stable manure wert: slightly
in excess of the estimate.
IThe refuse, manure, rubbish, and
street sweepings collected amounted
to 255,040 tons, or an average ,daily
quantity of 1,299,52 tons. Food un-
fit for consumption was destroyed,
amounting to 55 tons 3 cwts„ com-
prising fruit, vegetables, beef, tinned
meat, biscuits and eggs:', The eggs
alone weighed 30 tons 141-2 mate.,
which rbughly means that fully half -
a -million eggs were disposed of as un-
efit for human food.
, From the sale of clinker, waste
paper, bottles, scrap iron, galvanized'
iron, and tins, no less than $20,920 was
added to the revenue of the depart-
ment.
On `their estates the crops of pro-
duce sold yielded $5,930, the remain-
der, valued at $23,305, being used in
the stables of the cleansing and oth-
er departments in town or on the
farms. The value of .the heritable
property of the department is $1,473,-
385, and of the movable $353,925.

The King's Privileges.
King Edward VII. possesses many
extraordinary powers and privileges
which few persons are aware of, and
which even His Majesty himself prob-
ablydoes not realize. He is the sole
proprietor of the beds of all British
tidal rivers, such as the Thames, the
Mersey, the Dee, the Tyne and many
others. That part of the shore all
around the coast which lies between
high water and low water mark also
belongs to His Majesty, and he may
put it to any kind of use which he
thinks 111, while theoretically every
,inch of ground in the kingdom be-
longs to him and not to the landlords.
The King has the sole right to prime
the Bible, the Book of Common frays
er, and all nets of Parliament in the
United Kingdom; and if he liked ho
`could forbid the printing of any or
all of them anywhere within the Brit -
mit dominions,
Death Rate Among Infants.
Dr. McGarry, chief food inspector of
Montreal, states that as a result of
the careful inspection of milk cabs
which has been made this year by
the inspectors of his department the
death rate among children this sum-

This improvement is especially due
to the placing of men at railway sta-

UNHAPPY SNAILS.
Yorkshiremen Now Include Them as
an Article of Diet.
Sad tidings for snails conies from
Yorkshire. Hitherto it has been
commonly supposed that the virtues
of the snail as an article. of diet have
only been appreciated bylou: French
neighbors, but this is a mistake, for
in the coal mining village of Knott-
ingley, Yorkshire, a few 'miles from
Wakefield, the. snail appears to be so
eagerly sought after as a table deli-
cacy that a snail famine is feared.
It is estimated that for many years
snails have been consumed in Knott-
ingley at the rate of nearly a quarter
of a million. The origin of °the cus-
tom is curious. The local medical
dispensary was in need of funds, so
an enterprising local publican hit up-
on the happy idea of offering boiled
snails at six a penny to his customers,
the proceeds to go to the dispensary.
The Yorkshire miner is not extraordin-
arily particular what he eats, and
his sporting instincts are keen, there-
fore contests as to who could eat the
most snails soon became popular.
Other public -houses in the district
took to making similar delicacies, and
in this way considerable sums were
raised, one public -house alone raising
$45 a year in this way. Once started,
the taste for boiled snails developed,
and now Knottingley, Brotherton,
Castleford, and many other mining
villages in the district have their
population of snail eaters. Interview-
ed as to the effect of the food upon
the health of the people, one of the
best known medical men in the dis-
trict expressed the opinion to apress
representative that snails were not
clean creatures. "But I must admit," ,
he said, 'that they do not appear to
have produced any ill effects upon the
people." There is a firm local belief
that a snail eaten alive is a certain
cure for consumption if taken in the
early stages of the disease. The snails
are gathered from the walls and hedge
sides, and so great has the demand
been, one public -house alone provid-
ing 13,000 of them last year, that they
are now becoming scarce, and the dis-
pensary fends are suffering in conse-
quence. The dispensary authorities:
it should be added, have no direct
responsigility for the practice:.

AN UNOPENED PADLOCK.
Vienna's Strange Relic That Defied th.
World's Locksmiths.
In 1810 a blacksmith went to Vienna
and locked an iron band around a tree
with a padlock. ,What be did with the
key no one knows to this day. There
is a mirthful legend to the effect that
he carelessly threw it into the air and
that it never came down again- At
anyrate,the key could notn
k d o found,
u
b
y,
and the Austrian government offered
a prize of 500 ducats to any one who
could make a key that would turn the
bolt in the lock without breaking it.
Many have tried to win the prize,
but nobody has won it. Eventually it
became the practice among the con-
testants -to drive a nail in the tree and
the heads of some • of the nails bear
the initials of those who drove them.
The practice of driving nails into the
tree sealed its fate. The lower part tot
the tree in a few years assumed the+
appearance of a solid mass of iron.,
One spring the leaves failed to comet
out, and later a summer storm blew)
the top away.
The historic stump was cut oft midi
placed on a pedestal an one of that
prominent street corngta in Vienna.t
At the same time the iron band wast
cut in two and put around the stump 1
to hold it In its niche, leaving the pad-
lock in its original position. And
there the old stump stands to this day
an object both of the curiosity of tour -
1
Isis and the venerationof the rests
dents of Vienna. Incidentally, a street,4
