Many Englishmen will probabl: dispute the decision recently arrives at by the judges at a debate on thi subject before the Soéclety of War wickshire Folk in London, who, afte listening to the champions of cele brities of thirteen counties, gave thei verdict {n favor of Lancashire. a No doubt the County Paldtige which boasts that ** what it thinks to day England will think to-morrow,' has produced a goodly number o: famous men. Lancashire was the na tive county of John Bright, whosé or story fascinated and enthralled men Among other famous statesmen whict it claims being Gladstone, who was born at Livetpoo!, Sir Robert' Peél born near Bury, and Lord Morley Who claims Blackburn as his native place. In literature the county is very strongly represented: De Quincey, Mrs. Hemans, the famous poeteds Hall Calne, Harrison Ainsworth, and Richard LieSiajieate, being among other famouns| authors who were born in Lancaghire.. Nefther musi one forget Siri Richard Arkwright the inventor of the cotton-spinning frame; Romney, the famous painter; and such actors as John Kemble Sothern, and Edmund Kean, three o the greatest who ever appeared op the English stage. Hampshire is proudly referred tc by its people and, admirers as the cradle of the English race--the cra- dle of the ecclesiastical system, cradle of the English navy, and the cradle of the national game of cricket Palmerston, Thosas Arnold, Charles Dickens, George Meredith, Millais, and Tennyson, who, though he was born in Lincolnshire, had his favorite residence in the Isle of Wight, are men who have. added lustre to little Ha 'shire. Mr. Morice Gerard (Rev. J. Jessop Teague), author of many pepular books, proudly claims for Derbyshire that it is the county which started everything. In other words, that its famous men were the pioneers in all things. It produced James Brindley, founder of canals; Sir Francis Chan. "frey, one of the finest sculptors who ever lived, and who left $500,000 to found the Chantrey Bequest; Merbert Spencer, the founder of that school in which Huxley and Darwin gradu- ated; Sir Hugh Willoughby, the first of a long line of explorers who se out In the six'renth century from Deptford to find the Northwest pas- sage; Sir James Outram, the Bayard of India; and last buts not least, "Little John," Robin Hood's great small man, -On. the other hand, Warwjckshipe claims to have produced Robin Hood himself, and among other greater celebrities Shakespeare, acknowledg- ed to be among the greatest of Eng- lishmen, Walter Savage Landor, George Eliot, Sir Edwin Arnold, Dav- id Cox, SIF Fraiiels Galton, Burae Jones, James Watt, Richard Baxter, and Cardinal Newnian. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain was cer tainly born in Camherwell, but his finest work' has been dome in War wickshire, where he had spent the greater part of his life. Warwick- shire's list wants a good deal of beating. Gallant little Sussex, however, not only claims to have produced the man who evolved the mangel-wurzel, but such men as Cobden and Shelley-- the latter was born near Horsham; and ig also not a little proud of the fact that ¥. W. Lillywhite, one of the fathers of cricket, was a Sussex man. But the Channel Islands do not feel inclined to givé way to any English county in regard to sporting cham- plons, fdr it was from Jersey that those two wonderful golfers Ray and Vardon came. Good old "Zummerzet" claims Henry Fielding, father of the English novel, who was born a few miles from Glastonbury. It also produced Roger Bacon, father of science; Chat- terton, the boy poet; Sebastian Ca- bot, the great explorer; Sir Henry Irving, too, came from Somérset, as well as John Locke, one of the great- est philosophers of his time, not to mention John Bull, who was erron- eously believed to be the author of "God Save the King," and who was a Somersetshire man and a notable musician.

Sir Erpest Cassel Was a Liverpool Bink Olefk Bit Didn't Stay. Hall a century agh there way in a bank in Liverpool a young Geérniad clerk from Cologhe named Cassel, Erpest Cassel bad done his one yea¥ in the German 'army before ledVing his native city on the Rhine' His father sent him to England fortunes less and with hig' way to nfake. He fell in with a youlizg min named Her ring, who worked io a butchér shop, and another young Jew namied Bis: choffscheim. Théy all becamé multi- millionaires. # "Mr, Bischoffscheim became a powef in London, and it was with hima that George Herring began to show that tarving beef wasn't the limit of his capacity. And when the time came that these two brilllant financiers came into association with Ernest Cassel things. began to m "on Change." These three for mahy Years always had a ouve-third share each ni their joint enterprises, afi®l their industrial propaganda became world wide. It was in 1871 that Ernest Cassel went to London, and by 1879 he was already greatly interested in several railway enterprises in America. No grass was allowed to grow under the feet of this one-time 'office boy from Cologne. Backwards and forwards he went between New York and Lon- don. His financial eminence soon? became so gréat that Mexicd ap- proached him, and soon his railway men were making that wild and In- accessible country get-at-able from all pointe. Then his genius was used by Pirfirio Diaz, the Mexican Presi- dent, in order to raise funds. But other gigantic schemes were already claiming the attention of the enterprising' Jew' There was, for in- stance, the Nile Barrage! Soon Caire made personal acquaintance with Sir Ernest, who, having looked over the ground and spent four nights in Egypt, was soon on his way back to London to sefure the fundg for pro- secuting the work. Meanwhile the late Sir John Afrd was able to breathe freely once more, for Sir Ernest had proniised all that was required. In consegitenice of the ablé co-operation of Sir Ernest, the great dam at As- souan wa$ actually completed before it was expectéd. Sir Ernest's reward for this gréat piece of Empire build- ing was the Knight Commindership of St. Michaél and St. George, while the Sultan of Turkey presented him with the Order of the Medjidieh. Ih Cassel is a friend and close finan- clar adviser or King George. The Black Watch. The famous Black Watch (42nd | Royal Highland) Regiment -- to which the 5th Royal Highlanders of Canada (Montreal) are allied--was raised in 1729 with the idea of mak- ing use of it as a means of proteet- ing the cotintry which was then in an unsettled state.' The duly of the regiment consisted in carrying out the "Disarming Act" and preventing depredations; for this purpose the men were quartered in small detach- X HDC VA of the. coun~ try, chiefly' in thé more troubled dis: tricts of the Highlands, the various companies' acting indépemndently of each other. In 1740 the Government increased the number to 1,000 men, Up to that period each company was dresséd in tartans selected by {ts commander, but as the companite were now to act as one regiment, it Was necessary to have a uniform dress. The first colonel, Lord Craw-/ ford, being a Lowlander, and having no tartan of his own, a new tartan different from any othér was mianu- factured, this being composed of various shades of black, green and blue This ultimately became the well-known 42nd or Black Watch There are two regular battalions-- the 42nd and the 73rd Regt.--and a militia battalion, Royal Perth Mili- tia. The events in the last South African war show that neither the officers nor thé men of to-day have los one iota of that traditional dash, determination, and bravery which have won for the Black Watch so glorious a place in British military annals. Lady Church Bell Ringers. At the Parish Church of Appledore, Devon, Eng., worshippers are called to the services by lady bell-ringers. A wealthy resident recently pre- sented the church a peal of eight bells. Séveral lady church workers at once placed their services at the disposal of the vicar, with the result that an expert ringer gave the ladies lessons in ringing. At Easter this year the lddies gave their first public performance by ringing a peal at a wedding. The laddids now ring regu- larly every week, Some idea of the work miay be gathered from the fabt that the tenor bell weighs 11 cwis, and yet through all the training not even a stay hd¥ beer broken. This is another branch of work whiéh' women are takidg up on behalf of the church. The OM Tie Daddy. From an English newspaper print- ed in the year 1777 is the following description of a dandy: "A few days ago a macarod made hig Appédrance in the assembly roby at Whitehaven d in & mixed silk coat, pink ot Sirti! and brééches covered with an eldffant silk net, white dllic stockings with pidk clocks, pink satin shoes' awd large pedrl buttons, a mushroom colored stock coverdd with fine' polit lace, hitl> dressed remark- ably high and stick full of peur! pins." % ara eels A Poor Aunlogy. Major Hatldnd Bowdén, the Unlon- ist candidate inh Northeast Dérbyshire, who condemns a: meetings the haste with which, as he alleges, thé In- Surdnte Act was rushed thréugh, made a neat reply to an inteérjéction the_othér night. He wis eflargiig in his usual style on the imperfections of the act, "Romie was tot built in a day," came a voice from the audience. "Utfortunately, thé Insurance Act was," retorted tlie major. « ------ The man who, déthands favors us ually has nothing to return for them.

When we get aceustomed to some lofig-established" fashion we are apt to think that it is founded om thé nature of things, something that has always been so, and must forever re- main so. Let mie give an example-- blué is' the chief and predominant color in naval uniforms, and no doubt most péople will say, "Of course it is." They will argue tbat blue is the obvious color for the dreds of a sailor bethtise the ses Is blue, says the writer of "Sab Rosa" in The Daily News and Leader (London), and is described 'as 'the azlire main." The putaseés "navy blue," 'bluejacket," and ultra:marine all show that we accept the idea that blue is necessar- ily the color dor those who have to do 'with the sea. Let no ome suppose that 1 question the appropriateness of such a choice, but there was a time whén our naval officers dressed themselves up in all sorts of gay colors, . Before 1748 there was no naval uniforih; and the captain of a warship dressed himself and hig officers as he liked. There were paval "nuts" in those days --- for ipstance, Captain Windham and the officers of the Kent, a ship of 70 guns, wore (in 1746) gray and silver, faced with scarlet togethed with check shirts and petti- coat trousers! Now at or about that time there was a club of sea officers who met every Sunday evening at Will's coffee house in Scotland Yard, for the purpose of watching over their rights and privileges. It is the fixed view of nearly every naval man that Alfred the Great founded the navy, and that it has been going to the, dogs ever since. On one memor- able Sunday night the assembled he- roes determined that "a uniform dress wal useful and necessary for the com sioned officers, agreeable to the practice of other nations." So they formed a committee, and it wait- ed on the Duke of Bedford, who was at the head of the Admiralty, and His Grace brought the question be- fore King George II. The monarch agreed with the pro- posal, and in the end Mr. Forbes, then admiral of the fleet, was sum- moned to attend the Duke of Bed- ford. He went and found.the room decorated with all sorts of different naval dress, and he was asked his opinion as to the most appropriate. The admiral's view was that the uni- form should be red and blue, or blue and red, as these, he sald, were the national colors. It was then. that the duke remarked with some compla- cency that the King had determined otherwise, and hs went on to say: "Having seen my Duches§ riding in the park a few days ago, in a habit of blue faced with white, the dress took the fancy of His Majesty, who has appointed it for the uniform of the royal navy." Probably the duch- ess little knew when she ordered that riding habit that her choice would have so great and so lasting a result. Lucky Name for Sailors. Among niany English seafaring men there is a tradition that no man blessed with the name of Hugh Wil- liams will ever die at sea--a tradi- tion based on one of the most re- markable series of coincidences ever recorded in the logs of those who go down to the sea in ships. Perhaps the most remarkable in- stance of this immunity of the Hugh Williamses from death at sea occur- red in 1889, when a coal barge was caught in a storm in the North Sea and went down. There were nine men on board, and all were lpst except two, who were uncle and nephew, and each of whom was named Hugh Williams, In August, 1820, a pleasure boat | collided with another vessel and went down. There were twenty-five per- sons on board, most of them chil- dren, and all were drowned save one, Hugh Williams, a lad of six. In 1785 a Hygh Willlams alone survived out of 61 and in 1664 only one man--Hugh Willlams--was sav- ed out of 80. Diet of Nuts For Arctic Explorers. Sir Ernest Shackleton's expeditior to the Antarctic will live on a Spar- tan diet, and the food has been care- fully thought out. For breakfast the explorers will have 1 oz. of dried milk, with some proteid wheat. For lunch they would have Brazil nuts and almonds with dried milk, and dinner will be the same as breakfast. The expedition had, said Sir Ern est, about 900 miles to go before they arrive@at thé South Pole. Thelx object wis not to reach it, but tc travel through country unexplored The whole of their journey would be about 1,800 miles, For the first time they were going to use aerial pro pellors on. motor slédges, which could travel at between 15 and 2( miles an hour and carry about 1§ men each. Much Married. The following, taken from "Evelyn's Diary," refers to a Dutch: woman who lived in the seventeenth century: "Toward the end of August I returned to Haarlem. They show: ed, us a cottage where, they told us dwelt a woman who had been mar riéd to her twenty-fifth husband and being now a widow, was prohibited to marry in the future, yet it could not bé proved that sWe had ever made away with any of her husbands though the suspicion hdd brought hej divers times fnto trouble."

British army circles, and, indeed, a large section of the general public, looked forward with curiosity to the first appearance fu public of the four new colonels-in-chief-in-petticoats of British regiments. The gazetting of the Queen, the Queen-Mother, the Princess Royal, and Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, to their new ap- pointments was the first instance in British history of women of any rank whatsoever being honored with mili- tary rank, although the custom is, of course, in vogue in several Euro- pean qountries. The departure is be- ing taken as a recognition of the greater concern that women are manifesting 'in the service of the country. Up to now the association of wo- men, of however lofty rank, with the British army has been limited to cases in which their names are asso- ciated with certain regiments, such, for instance, as the Yorkshires, who long have had the privilege of call- ing themselves Alexandra, Princess of Wales' Own. Queen Victoria, as sovereign, was, of course, at the head of the army, but curiously enough, the only military title which she possessed, was a German one, and the same, up to now, has béen true of Queen Mary. Queen Victoria was colonel-in-chief of the 1st (Qteén of .England's) Dragoons of tlie Guards of the German army. It is a famous regiment that has for itd proud motto, "With God for King and Fatherland." During a visit of the German Emperor to England in 1888, he conferred the distinction upon Queen Victoria, who was very much pleased with it, and showed afterward a keen interest in the regi- ment to which she presented a mag- nificent pair of ketrledrums. A de- tachment of the regiment came to England and was assignéd an im- portant place in those august and moving ceremonies of the great Queen's funeral. As for Queen Mary, she is colonel- in-chief of the 5th Pomeranian Hus- sars. This is an historic gorps, for it wag raised as the 9th Regiment of Prussian Hussars in 1758, and much latér was reorganized as Prince Blucker von Wahlstadt's Own, It joined Blucher's main army in 1815, and was one of those to receive the thanks of the British nation after Waterloo. The British regiment, of which the Queen now has become colonel-in- chief, is the 18th Hussars, who carry the Peninsula, Waterloo, South Afri- ca, and the defence of Ladysmith among their battle honors. Their uniform is blue, as is their busby- bag, whose plume, however, is gcar- let and white. The Quedn-Mother's name already is associated with both the 19th Hussars and the Yorkshire Regiment. Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, who becomes colonél-in- chief of the Argyll and Sutherldnd Highlanders, has an especially ap- propriate recognition, for her work in providing for the Scottish con- valescents after the South African war was of great value. In the German army, the Kal§érin, the Crown Princess and the Duchess of Brunswick are all' honorary col- oriels, as is also the Queen of Greéce, The Empress of Russia is cclonel-in- chief of the Lancers of the Guards, and looks remarkably handsome in its long cloak and the much-plumed helmet. Quite recently, too; the Czar has made the Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaévna colonel-in-chief of the 3rd Elisavdtgradski Hussars, and lets, the broad belt and the plumed helmet with a girlish grace. Her younger sister, the Grand Duches¥ Tatiana Nikolaevna, has correspon! ing rank in the 8th Vosnesendki Lan- cers, and her tunic is heavily braid ed, while the narrow beit ends in a curious tassel. The helmet is of low rounded shape, the bunch of feathers being in the centre over the brow and clasped with the device of the regiment Will the Leck Go? There is at leddt one patriotic Welshman who doés not mean to give up the leek without a struggle, dtspite Mr. Lloyd Geéorge's repudia- tion of that vegetable as the Welsh national emblem a yedr or two afo. Mr. Lloyd George may préfér the aesthetic daffodil; but Mr. Tomley, of Montgomery, has made a surcess- | ful protest against the omission of the leek from a suggested cover de- sign for the almanac of the Man- chester Unity of Oddfellows. Shakespeare himself recognized tho leek as the national emblem of Wales when he wrote Fluellen's part in "Henry V."; and if that ig not ehough for the doubters apd daf- fodil lovers, Caxton wrote of Welsh- men that: They have gruell to potage And leekes kind. to companage. And of the Welshwoman that: Atte mette, and after eke Her solace is salt and leeke.

The captain of the Southern Cross, the steamer which contributes great- ly to the splendid work of the Mela- nesian Mission, once headed by the martyred Bishop Patteson, relates some surprising and highly interest- ing stories concerning the habits and customs of the Islanders. "There is one small island," says Captain Sinker, R.N.R., "where the women always proposes marriage to the men, and if the man refuses the woman must kill herself. A young native who had been con- verted to Christianity visited the island, and a girl fell in loye with him and proposed marriage. Un- luckily, he was already engaged, and had to refuse. The girl quietly re- signed herself to death, but the idea 80 revolted the young Christian na- tive that be 'tonsulted a missionary, and asked what he of t to do-- whether he ought to allow the girl to kill herself, or whether, to pre- vent this he ought to marry her, In the end it was agreed that he should marry her, in spite of his engagement in another island, and they became a very happy couple. There was no doubt that the girl would bave killed ferself. The peo- ple of the island would have insisted on it. Captain Sinker does not belleve In clothes for natives. "Usually a Mel- anesian native"s great ambition is to possess some European garment, He thinks that if he wears something which thie white man wears, he is much more important and powerful. What the garment is doesn't concern him at all. He will put on anything he can get hold of. The resilt is often mest ludicrous. A native wo- man once made a public appédrance wearing thirteén petticoats, and a chief appeared In a battered top hat and a waistcoat. . This passion of European clothes has a bad effect on the natives' hedlth. When a man has a complete sult his great ided is to spend the rest of his life in it, and he would be aghast if ysu suggested to him thpt he might occasionally take fit off. Even when he swims he insists on keeping his clothes on, and when he comes out of the water he makes no attempt to dry either himself or hid clothes. They will sleep in the same clothes that they swim in, and they never seé any necessity for washing them. The missionaries don't encourage them to wear clothes. It has been found that they are bet- ter in évéry way if they wear only a loin cloth. In one island it is the custom for the men to grow their hair very loug, and to make an elaborate affair of it on the top of the head, but the am- bitlon of the women is to be per- fectly bdld. The difficulty is to cut the hair off. I have oftén seen wo- men scraping their heads with pieces of broken bottles and gashing them- #élves badly in their efforts to get the right effect. There are still a fow cannibals and head hunters in the less accessible parts of the islands. The canni- bals' idea is not so muck to have a good 'meal as to gain power by eating some important personage. When' two tribes fight, the plan of campaign is to kill the enemy's chief, and when by'is killed the custom is for the victors to make a meal of him. By eating so powerful a man, they think they will gain power them- selves. It is this outlook which is liable to make tho position of the white man among cannibals rather a nerve-racking one. He never knows when he will be needed for tonic purposes. Venom as Antidote. Extracting venom from snakes for the purpose of making an antidote for the poison is being carried on at Parel Laboratory, Bombay. The poison is sent up to Kasaull, where it is injected In small quantities into horses and In course of time a certaln amount of blood is drawn off. The blood corpuscles are sep- arated from the serum and the lat- ter is an antidote or antivenine as it is called. Several lives have been saved in Bombay by means of this antidote. A watchman at Cumbalia Hill was recently bitten and though in a state of collapse and paralysis when the injection was made, he recovered entirely in twenty min- utes. In another case a few days ago a Mall was bitten by a poisonous snike, but recovered after treatment, At the laboratory there is now enough of vemom fo supply all the demands India is likely to make, and i is now being sent to Germany and America, Cobra venonl belong very useful in' experiments connécted with the blood.
