The Work of A. H. Howard, of Toronto - Commended--Modern Work, is Far Superior to That of Ancients. Wheneveg the futhers of the City ot Toronto Aave an August Personage to. receive and entertain, or a feudal de- voig "to extend to an Imperial Consol or Ag Royalty across the seas with its capital R, they very wisely seek in perhaps the happiest of their efforts the aid and sllegiance of art. Some- limes these well-meant endeavors mis- "ry, Sui for the last thirty years they have néver been open to vital objection when Mr. A. H. Howard, RLC.A,, his been entrusted with that branch of the ceremonious prepara- tion which he has made so genuine- ly worthy snd so peculisrly his own. The Hlumineted Address is a fortun- ate survival of the mediaeval period beiore typewriting was dreamed about in gven the most advanced monaster- iesy when script was laboriously pre- duced with a quill pen, and monks in §ton: cells poured forth their pent souls in elaboration of initial letters, paragraph ornements and marginal | complications of primitive design | Just as modern painting has devel- oped the simplieities and fer surpass- ed, the o'd eruditiss of the middle ages---whatever pedants end acedemic erftics may sey to the contrary moder illumination and «llegorical | desizn has broadened, matured and b! ssomed into subtleties of complex And refined beauty b-sides which the best excmples of the ancient mooks stem but as they are--mediacval These remarks are called forth by the fact thet recently two fine ex of Mr. Howard's work was presented on behali of the corporation oi the city Toronto end the Association of Canrda's Industrial Exhibition, re- { spéctively, to that fine old dog and foremost naval representative the Empire, Lord Charles Beresford For fully thirty vesrs Mr. Howard has beey 'evolving beautiful concep- tion: sul of formal resolutions ~nd ! polar expression' of lovalty end re t pect in behalf of the citizens of To- Yonto and representative bodies in- cluded among her people. All of the | Governors-Geneyal from the Marjuis of Lorne down to Lord Minto and the present tactful and justly popular vice-regent, Earl Grey, have borne away gilded compliments from the hand of the same artist, each one i absolutely a fresh conception, e¢::h one a thoughtful and sincere work oi ert. In England there must exist by now material for a considersble lib i rary of such volumes if the time evr 'came when for any possible reason they should be gathered together. The late Queen Victoria possessed one or more, King Edwerd owns at least one, Queen Alexandre snother, the Prince of Wa another, the Aber. deens received several, and appreciate | thom, too, as we have good reason to know. . The address to Lord Bergsiord pre- sented recently by the Ex sociation is a noteworthy example of | 'Mr. Howard's svmbolical treatment of the text and an especially beautiful specimen of colored elaboration rnd enrichment. It consists of a book of six pages of thick vellum bound in | genuine morocco in which is emboss- ed and inlaid his lordships' coat of arms. The first page bears the super- scription. in quaint lettering, 'with i the coat of arms and the two crests vichly emblazoned.

Mr. Menager, the head k at Buckingham Palace, occupies an im- Jortant post in the roval household. is salary is £2,000 per anpum, and | he is recognised as being one of the freatem culinary artisyé in the world. he royal kitchens and the whole kitchen staff ure wfider his complete control. Opening off she main kitchen at one side of it ate half a dozen smaller *kitchens, and on the other side there are four offices, where the clerical work in connection with the kitchen department is attended to. One these offices is Mr. Menager's private room. Mr. Menager does not live in Buck- ingham Palace, but has his private residence close to it. On arriving at the ace--usually 'about eléven o'clock in the 'morning--his first care is to inspect the lunch menu for that day, which has been prepared by his first assistant, and also the menu for hyeakfast the following morning. He then prepares. the din- ner menu for the following day--a task that occupies him usually a couple of hours. No two dinners at the royal table ire ever ihe same, Certain dishes are from time to time repeated, fre- quently by special request of the King, out what may be termed the general scheme of each dinner is al- ways different. One of the side kitchens is reserved solely for Mr. Menager's use, where he. carries out experimental culinary operations, and is constantly elaborating and working out new ideas. Some dishes have taken him months of prepara- tion before he has decided to put them into the menu. There is one particular sauce which Mr. Menager invented sorpe years 'ago fo which the King has a particular liking. Mr. Menager wat making experiments for over three years before he served this sauce to the royal table. There are many dishes, by the way, which can be tasted newhere except at the royal table. The secret of their preparation is known only to Mr, Menager, and he guards such secrets with great care. None of his assistants have the Jeast netion of how these special 'dishes and sauces are prepared. They simply have the handling of the -raw materials, and each assistant carries out different directions in its preparation for able. The dinner menu is submitted proval; but this is a mere matter form, for neither the King. nor Queen ever think of altering or interfering with Mr. Menager's arrangements. At three o'clock a report is laid before the great chef by the order- clerk of the various meats that have heen ordered in accordunce with Mr. Menager's instructions of the day before, and also what is called a kitchen report is given to him by the head assistant cook--which is a detailed statement of the manner in hich the dinner for that night is to be prepared. After seeing that every- thing is in order for the evening's work, Mr. Menager generally leaves the' palace about four o'clock, return- ing at half-past six, when he never fails to make a personal inspection of the various ranges, ovens, and stoves, and takes a careful note of the temperature in each. The preparation of the royal din- ner is then begun. Menager re- mains in the kitchen whilst the work is going forward, keeping a keen eye on everything and everyone, and issying from time to time instructions to his first lieutenant. At ten minutes to nine exactly a bell is rung, and the servants who are to bear the dishes to the state dining-room enter the Kitei®:n. At nine o'clock dinner is served, ind Mr. Menager's work for the day is over. He remains in his private room until ten o'clock, when he re- ceives a message from the King com- meénding the dinner. This is a cere- mony his Majesty never forgets to perform. Natural Mummies. ~ Natural mummification, the chang- ing of the human body into a dried is an extremely rare phenomenon. { In a ease reported by the Hon. S. Wolfisohn of - British Honduras, a I middle-aged ecoolie who disappeared was found more than a year after- ward in a corrugated iron hut, ag a perfectly preserved mummy. The ut, in a somewhat isolated spot at Sibun, was raised on blocks four or five feet above the ground, and had a door and three shutters, one shui- ter being open, while one had fallen out. The body was clothed in a cof. ton undershirt, dark jersey, and duck trousers, two pieces of rope around the neck proving selt strangu: lation. The desiccation seémed have. been favored by a a i of ' conditions--the season having 'heen extfuordinary dry, and the shall iron house excessively hot, though well ventilated, while the body was thin and attenuated as a result of mental disorder.

Those guardians gave their 'consent readily but the sanction of the Local Government Board hyd first to be obtained before any pulling down could be done. The Local Government Bard, fol lowing the orthodox and en course, directed that a {urther parish meeting should 'be held to consent formally to the sale. This meeting was duly held, and a poll pf the parish was pded. And." pow deman all, it was found that the estunaf value of the materials of the old cots tage was only $5 clear, while the cost of the poll would be $15 But, of course, there is a proper routine for all these matters, {and it must be adhered to rigidly. Two muegistrates--eall them A. and B.--reported on the structural cons dition of a public-houseé. These twa magistrates ordered certain work: to be done, that is, one ordered tiie work, and the uther approved, and agreed that the work was necedsary. Now, A. was a joiner, and, as a joiner, carried out the work of recon: struction to the hevse; while Bi wha was a plumber as well ae a; magpie trate, did the plumbing work under the orders of joiner-inagistrate A. And, of course, the wotk which A. and B, did was the work which they, as magistrates, had previously order- ed to be done, and which they--still as magistrates--would afterwards have to approve ot when it was finished. A familiar official farce judges on circuit, wasting time money, merely to receive a pair white gloves when there are to be tried at sssizes; and during the revision of the jury lists at North- wich, some little time back, an over- F seer produced a blank sheet of paper, | as there "was not a solitary juror within His district. Nevertheless, of: ficial rules compelled him to make a journey of eight miles simply to produce a piece of white paper and swear to it. n spending the national income, thé official mind is at its best. The War Oifice--shot at by most red-tape stories--erected a building at Alder- shot for a balloon-shed. The work of construction proceeded with true of- ficial "rapidity --very slowly, in fact-- and by the time it was finished other buildings in the neighborhood had been erected, with the result that it would have been impossible to get the balloon in and out of the shed. So the shed had to be taken down and rebuilt: elsewhere. That is merely one instance. One day recently a War Office official found, carefully pigeon-holed, an order for road- making material. The order was fut in hand forthwith, and presently a {raction-engine, with blocks of stone, gravel, and other material, was deposited at Aldershot, with a party of men, But no one there had any instruc- tions, or knew anything at all of any road-making roposals. Investiga- tions were made, and slowly the red- tape was unwound, when it was dis- Mvered that the order was fifty years old--forgotten, and now raked up and gravely executed! and of The Bushengo. The return is expected shortly of an expedition, organized by Mr. E. Torday, which left England in Sept.; 1907, for the Congo Free Btate, with the object of condueting -a scientific inquiry into the customs and culture of certain native tribes south of lat. 2 8., between the Kwilu and Lomami rivers. Of the tribes visited, writes a London Times correspondent, by far the most important and interest. ing are the Bushongo, the western tribes of whom were discovered in 1884 by Wissmann's expedition. = Lit- tle, however. has hitherto been re- corded wi. thew except their skill in handicrafts. The information now collected proves them to be one of the most remarkable tribes in 'Africa. In the first place they have preserv. ed » great deal of their tribal history, and a list of no [ewer than 128 great chiefs - was obtained; numerous gends in connection with-ghe reigns of certain of these rulers relate the migrations of the people, their wars with neighboring tribes, and the in- troduction or inventiow of variouk useful arts, How New Zealand Became British.
