He presents a most astonishing con- trast when made up for a state cere- mony and when taking his comfort in one of the walks of which he is so fond: King Edward has always been a handsome man, despite his lack of stature, and gray hair and gray beard have really added to the gentleness Array- ®. of his office a most impressive 3 a ba king, in fact.

The favorite clothes of His Majesty on such occasions of comfort, when the cares that oppress a king have been put aside, are those that are large and roomy; especially does he lean to homespuns and 3-oteh tweeds. It has been said thay when he goes to the Derby, an event he seldom misses, thousands of men there are arrayed in more costly garb than he. The Prince of Wales is much like his father in this respect. In appear- ance he has the characteristics of the line of which he comes, though not nearly so good-looking as his father. But take away the admiral's uniform, which he wears in most of hia favorite pictures, and present him as a plain citizen and he looks a little like. the man who will seme day succeed tr the throne of the Hanovers The prinee is noted for his resem blance to the Tsar of Russia. The Tsar depends almost entirely for his kingly appearance on the rich garb rmitted to him by the treasury of is autocraey. Divested of his royal robes, he.is a most insienificant and pitiable little ereature. Hiseshoulders are shrunken, his eyes ever'shrinking from meeting the gaze of another. Alfonso of 8pain also owes much to his royal regalia. Like the Tsar, he is very frail of physifue, to the point of fmaciation, His nose i, long and 4 eyes poor an is com- plexion bad.

Of the many strange sects which find followers in some portion or oth- er of the globe there is none more eccentric. or more Spartan in self discipline than the Doukhobors. It Ji a sect which responds to a call that brooks no caviling, no hanging back The people who voluntarily aceept its obligations impose upon them- selves a penance which is calenlated to test the limit of their endurance. Humiliation of the flegh is part and parcel of their ereed. To such ex- tremes do they carry their fanatical beliefs that they are frequently to be seen marching through scorching heat or bitter cold with practically no clothing beyond a loin cloth to cover them. The . Doukhebors make sacrifices which surpass in severity those of the most rigid asectic. They have been ordered by their leaders to sell their cattle. They have done so. Now their children are dying for want of sustenance. Last autumn they were ordered to sell their sheep, and they disposed, of '16.000. They then sold their chickens. Now thev are pauvers. Their leaders have abolished time. Nearly $8,000 worth of watches and clocks have been taken away 'from the people by their head wen. Mir rors have been forbidden; to make sure, special agents have collected all the looking glasses. Tea, cofiee, sugar and pancakes are under the ban, and their food is now narrowed (down to potatoes, carrots, onions and® turnips. According to the statement of a correspondent who has' stedied ' their customs, 500 Doukhobors¢live in two houses. Every man andJwoman has a space allotted. which /is just four feet wide. They have togget into their beds from the foot, soecramped are their quarters. All eatgat big tables in the centre. The ydung men sleep like. sardines in the garret. And, underwa ne no Doukhobor may own jmore than one shirt. 80 poor and indigestible is their food now that most of the Douk- hobors are really' ill andediseased. They let the law go.asta dead let ter, and births, deathssand inarriages go unreporded. They live in northwesterne Canada, these strange fanatics.

The old schooper Erie Belle, which has lain in the harbor at Chippawa for the past degen years, is now be ing dismantlgd. Her works over the waterline will be destroyed, and the portion of the hull that Lies below the water will be fixed up and used as a tool scow, The Erie Belle was at one time the belle of the lakes. She was a three- master with double topsail and top- gallant sail. She was the only sechoon- er on the lake with five jibe. Om her masts there were three bells in Feoken of her name She was built by Youell, of Port Burwell, in 1873, and -was sajled by her owner, Capt. John MacDermott, a Highland Scotchman. She was next under the command of Capt. Duncan Macleod, and during his time she onge met with a serious mishap on Lake Erie. Ina heavy storm she was dismasted. The tug Muy took her to Port. Huron ine rupairs. Her last owner and mas- te was Capt. Duncan Manson, who oy lives retired in Brantford. She ha. . taken a load of pulp to La Salle, and while unloading the crew went on strike for unpaid wages. The story runs that the captain, seizing a fav- prable opportunity, single-handed, ran her out into the Niagara river, and getting the help of a friendly tug, slipped down to Chippawa and tied her up. Here she was seized by a Port Hope bank that held a mort- gage, on her; and it was destined that she should never sail again. She was a trim schooner on the day she reached. Chippaya, and as the weeks and months went by she rotted to pieces. To-day you could crush through her timbers with your foot. Were yon to jump on the deck you would be in danger of going through. The Frie Belle has been sketched and photographed a thousand times. One artist came all the way from California for the purpose.

Mr. Frederic Villiers, the famous acitve service as any living army vet- eran. He gained his first experience as a war artist in Servia as far back as 1876, and sinee that time he has traveled nearly all over the world. In 1882 he was on board the Condor with Lord Charles Beresford at the bom- bardment of Alexandria; he apcom- ranied the Nile expedition for the re- ief of Khartoum; he went through the South African campaign; and md some thrilling adventures during the recent Russo-Japancse war. Mr. Vil- liers was the first to introduce the cinematograph camera on to the bat- tlefield, and he was also the first cor- respondent to use a bicycle during a campaign. Mr. Villiers and a friend, who fan- cied himself an artist, were once visit- ing a tea-house in Japan; and a little Japanese girl brought them each a tiny cup. of tea, and waited demurely for further orders. The visitors tried $0 explain that they were both ex- ceedingly hungry and would like a substantial meal; but their limited knowledge of Japanese quite failed to make the waitress understand their meaning. At last Mr. Villiers suggested that his friend should try her with pic- tares. "Draw a fish, an egg, a loaf of bread and a bottle of beer," said he; "she ean't misunderstand you then." So the hungry visitor got out peneil and paper and did as he was bid When he had finished, the girl smiled, nodded, and disappeared with the drawing. instead two folded bath gowns, a cou- ple of towels, and a eake of soap!

This raises a wall of ashes betwee n the nre- pot and the coals, just where the hottest part of the fire should be. To heat the house properly and economically, these ashes must be removed whenever the furnace is attended to. : In most furnaces, all the grates are geared together. They must all be shaken together. As the coal burns unevenly, either good coal must be shaken down with the ashes, or the fire slightly shaken and the ashes and clinkers raked down with a poker. In the "Hecla" Furnace, each of the four grate bars can be shaken separately. When ashes accumulate on the sides of the firepot, shake only the side bars. This means getting rid of all the ashes aving coal--keeping the fire clean--and doing away with sifting ashes. When. the furnace is almost out, you can shake down the ashes farthest from the fire without disturbing the live coals, and quickiy have a blazing fire Clinkers cause no trouble, as they do with grates that we fastened together and must all he shaken together.
