CALLS FOR . STEADY HNERJE Duty Devolving on Cook for East African Monarch Can Not Be i Cailed a Sinecure. The Reyv. John Rpscoe, rector of Ovingtori Norfolk, kept members of the Royal society wondering for more, than an hour while he lectured on his journey through East Africa, where he went on a tour of investigation on behalf of the government and the Royal society. : King George was amused by the traveler’s description of the royal servants at Bunyoro, one of the places Mr. Roscoe visited. He described their duties in his leeture in London.

“The king's chief cook has a very trying job,” sald Mr. Roscoe. “The custom I 8 that every morning he brings to the king a pot of specially prepared meat, with iwhich he must walk all around the royal enclosure. With his face whitened he enters the presence, and in a dead silence throughoiut the court, which may not be broken by ceughing or sneezing on pain of instant death, the chief cook puts a plece of meat at the end of a fork into the king’s mouth. “He does this four times, but if by chance or nervousness he touches the king’s teeth with the metal fork he dies instantly. ' “These servants find the ordeal so trying that they can only carry it out for a few days, after which they are sent away for a six weeks’ "hodlday. That is all the meat the king is supposed to have in a day and for the rest he lives on milk.”—London Daily Mail. v

POODLE IS MAIL’S GUARDIAN

Small Kansas City Dog Dirty and Shaggy, but as Faithful as « They Make Them,

' He is just a little shaggy poodle, and as black as coal dust and smoke can make him, but he is very devoted to his self-imposed duties. He may be seen each morning waiting at the rear door of Post office Station C, 3021 Independence avenue. ; ;

He draws ne salary from the post office department,. but- is as regular in his attention to his task as though he were: receiving ‘the" top wage. Someone is always-at the door to admit him. Then, after a casual inspection of the office, he hunts up his chosen friend, Ed Easton, carrier 109, and commences his daily duties as guardian and friend. : _He waits at each stop for Ed to unload his mail and accompany him back to the station, staying till Easton goes to lunch. Then he will trot off te his own home for a rest, and at one o’clock may be seen' on duty once more. : i -

Even Sunday mornings, when his friend does net come to the office, he will run up to the door, wait patiently till he is tired, and then will disappear and not be seen any more till Monday at the wusual hour.—Kansas City Times. : '

He Had the Proofs All Right.

High School John’s three spinster sisters were all sentimental. They treasured all the relics’ of their early romances—*trash” that John would joytully have discarded so that he could have more room for trophies, ete.

One night he scornfully called the family’s attention to a gayly decorated clock on the mantel. “It’s no earthly good,” he said. “It won’t run and It's out of style,“too. Let's get one of those mahogany ones like - the Browns have.” : Ak One of the sisters looked at the relic. “Oh, let’s don’t,” she simpered. “Let’s keep it for memory’s sake. It has ticked so many happy hours for all of us girls.” “Yes, I'll say it has,” John agreed scornfully, “and according te present evidences it has sounded a good many alarms, too.” ) : ,

Keep Control of Temper.

~ Repeated outbursts of violence have the same effect on your delicate mental and nervous mechanism that they have on the machinery which controls the energy generated by the waterfall. . In a very little time the person given te violence will be unable to control his energy. It will burst forth at all times; as in the case of a badly spoiled child. And then there will be little work and no thought. All the energy that is generated by the mysterious processes of life will be wastsd, never again to be recovered.—John Blake in Chicago Daily News.

Freeze Fruit to Keep It

Strawberries, grapes, cherries, raspberries, and other small fruits, as well as tomatoes and some other vegetables, can be kept a long time intact from the germs that bring about decomposition. Germs may be present in the air and In the fruits, but their activity is suspended ‘'by freezing.

’ The department of agriculture. has lound that fruits frozen to a temperawure as low as 10 degr&es Fahrenheit or higher, up te 32 degrees, and then stored in a temperature not above 16 jegrees, will keep for several months. —Popular Science Monthly, =

RHODES NEVER WOMAN HATER

But Celebrated “Empire Builder” Had Little Time to Devote to the - . Gentler Sex. ;

Cecil Rhgdes had the reputation of being a woman hater, but he was by no means & - misogynist, though he might have been regarded a misogamist. He was wedded, it was said, by his friends, to Africe. But hig life would have been more complete and no less full of achievement if he had been married to the right woman—at least so says my wife and other ‘women who knew him, ‘While I have said Rhodes was not a woman hater, he was averse to wasting his time on women of mediocre intellect. <Rhodes excused himself for not marrying by saying that he had not the time to give a wife the attention she was entitled to receive., -

«:In his magnificent house at Cape Town there was only one picture. It was a’_painting of a young woman, beautiful and modest of aspect, by Sir Jeshua Reynolds, and hung in the dining room above the fireplace. He loved to look at it and frequently told how he had gained possession of it. As a boy he toek a great fancy to this picture, which belonged to a relative, and his love for it increased as he grew o manhood. - Hventually he boyght it. 'He always wound up the stury by saying: “Now I have my lady, and I am happy.”—John Hays Hammond in Scribier’'s Magazine,

PAY HONOR TO GOD OF FIRE. Japanese Religious Observances That Take Place in Coldest -Season g of the Year. e A Japanese religious observance pes culiar to the coldest season of the year is that of bathing in cold water and wearing to and from the bath a single ‘kimono of pure white, with a white band about the head. The ceremony, says' the Japan Advertiser in a- recent issue, is out of respect-ta Fudo-san, the god of fire, primarily, Those observing the custom ' carry & lantern and jingle a small bell as they go ialong the street. The season cons tinues for thirty days. | The first fifteen days of the season is called the daiken, or great cold, and the second fifteen ddays the shokon, or small cold. Most of those who go through the ceremony are young men, apprentices In_some trade, who run. to and from the bath, repeating the words, “Rokkon Shojo,” as they go. ' The principal temple and bath is the one in Fukawaga-ku. The cold water bath there K was recently rebuilt at a cost of 300,000 yen In anticipation of the cold season. It is open for women only until 8 o’clock in the evening, but at all hours in the day for men. Among the women are many young actresses, who pray earnestly for success in their profession. Another Fudo shrine is near ‘Meguro station. : R

Wealth in Beads.

Probably the choicest and most valuable beads in the .world are those possessed by the natives of Borneo. In many cases they are very old, and have been kept for centuries -in one family. ) . Some are thought to be of Venetian origin, while others resemble a Roman variety. - ' bl

It is difficult to induce the natives to sell their beads, which they guard as heirlooms. A rich chief may possess old beads to the value of thousands of pounds. o When children are small they are carried on the baeks of their mothers in a kind of cradle, which is often elaborately adorn®dswith beads. One chief possesses a cradle valued at £2OO. : : '

Practically Unbeatable,

“My wife,” pridefully said a citizen of the Ozarks, in the cross-roads store, ‘splits the kindling every morning of the world, packs in the stovewocod, builds thg fire, milks three cows, gets six kids ready for school, sews, mends and bakes, and then has the¢ house all redded up before it comes time to put the dinner to cooking. And I'd Jjust sorter like to know ‘who ean beat her e . : :

“Well,” returned & bystander, “as she’s. prob’ly tollable muscular and I hain’t been right well myself since way long last spring, and she hain't my wife, no way, while mebby I could beat her, I'm yur to say that I hain’t got the slightest idy of trying it.”’— Country Gentleman. : )

Ancient Pictures.

Mankind, has always loved pictures. Races, without a written language, have left behind them rude carvings and murals to attest the fact. When an industry arose that appealed to this ancient appetite with pictures that moved, it did not have to wait long to see whether it would die or flourish. A dozen years ago the motion picture business, as we now know it, did not exist. Today the American public supports 16,500 moving picture theaters, makes 5,000,000,000 visits to them a year and spends $750,000,000 annually fér the amusement—The Nation’s Business. :
