BRITISH BANKRUPTS. PRIVILEGES WHICH ARE ACCORDED BY LAW TO PEERS. Some English Legal Decisions as to What Constitute the Necessaries of Life—They Widely Differ From Duke to Ordinary Mortal. Recent bankruptcy cases in London have brought up various legal decisions which have been reached in England on the subject of what are necessaries of life for men of various stations and degrees who are not in command of their own incomes. A duke, for instance, or even a marquis or an earl is entitled by law to one bottle of champagne a day if his trustees hold the money to pay for it. In the case of the former Duke of Manchester the law decided that seven bottles of champagne a week are necessary to a duke whose affairs may be in the hands of trustees and that if he had not the control of his own income he must be allowed to have a carriage with one horse, a riding horse as well, one manservant and a house with a rent of not less than £250 a year; otherwise he must be allowed to have the use of £2,000 a year, while the rest might be allowed to accumulate for the good of the estate till the trustee period expired. A viscount or a baron is allowed by law to describe as necessaries things which smaller fry might struggle along without. But a viscount's income provided there is anybody to pay it—is fixed at £1,500 a year and a baron's at £1,000. He is, supposing any guardians have a few thousands a year to pay out to him according to discretion, only entitled to claret as a beverage, for his yearly wine allowance only runs to £60, which would not keep him in champagne unless he drank it very seldom. The duke's wine bill may run to £150. The viscount must have a carriage, but it may be attached for debt, and he cannot force his guardians to give him a horse. Of course, if he has no guardians, nor any income, either, he must do as other people and go without, but these things are considered necessary to peers. A manservant is allowed to a viscount or baron, but the house rent need not exceed £200, nor can it be less than £150. A doctor is better off than a viscount CINCH WENT FISHING HE USED HIS HOOK AND LINE IN A BIG CLOVER FIELD. It Puzzled His Comrades to Discover What He Was Angling For, but He Finally Landed the Prize For Which He Was Striving. Some young men who enlisted during the war with Spain, but never saw any active service, were talking over their days in uniform one night and old, interesting stories of camp life. The young man who had been a hospital steward told this story: "A month in our camp in Georgis was enough to drive a man to despair, for not only was it hot, but every day increased our belief that the government had no intention of giving us a chance to get into action or to let us go back to our homes. It was a mighty tough predicament for a lot of young men who had left business and everything else in a burst of patriotic enthusiasm and expected to get into a scrap in short order. The men worked every wire they could to get their discharges, but it was at a time when the man with a pull couldn't get any more than the man without a friend. After awhile the boys gave up trying to get their discharges and made up their minds to grin and bear it. "As a hospital steward I used to hear a good deal about the health of the regiment from the surgeons, and one day I was very much surprised to hear one of them say that he was afraid Cinch of Company C was going to lose his mind. I knew Cinch as a big, good natured fellow, who tried to get a discharge as soon as he learned that we were not going to have a fight. When he failed, he became sullen and moody. The more we watched him the more convinced we became that something was wrong with him. Every time we came around we found him muimbling to himself, and one day a crowd of us found him seated on a stump in the middle of a big clover field, holding in front of him a long pole, attached to which was a piece of cord, on the end of which was a pin bent to resemble a fishhook. He would drop the hook into the long grass and let it stay there for a time. Then he would make a cast and when the hook fell would sit and watch the end of his line intently. Every once in awhile he would jerk the HE SLEPT IN SECURITY The Tonie a Small Boy Used By Weak Feeling. There is a 5-year-old boy in chusets avenue who is of the British patriots. His grandfather was the Mexican and civil wars, and there was also a soldier, consecrated little fellow has heard much talk in his short life and has ideas of its protective qualities was the baby of the family till recently and occupied a crib because mother's room. When the new came, Harold was put to sleep room adjoining his mother's, and had never slept alone before his soul was filled with nameless which he was too proud to tell it. "It's mighty lonesome in her ma," he called the first night he had been tucked in his little wiener. "Just remember the angels at you and caring for you," replied ma from the outer room. "But, mamma," he objected, acquainted with any angels, and scared of them if they came round, same as I would of any stranger." "Now, Harold, you must go quietly. Nothing will hurt you." "Can't I have the gas light here?" "No; mamma doesn't think she sary, and it is not healthy." There was silence for some time then the small voice piped up "Oh, mamma!" "Yes, dear." "May I have grandpa's flag?" "Why, what for? I want your right to sleep." "Please, mamma!" and a smug gowned figure appeared at the "Just let me stick the flag up head of my bed, and then I'll go to sleep, indeed I will! You either night grandpa said at the ring that 'under the protecting the flag the weakest would and I feel mighty weak, mama." He got the flag, and when he looked in on him an hour later fast asleep, with a fat little tail of the "protecting" flag.—Wy Star. for his yearly wine allowance only runs to £60, which would not keep him in champagne unless he drank it very seldom. The duke's wine bill may run to £150. The viscount must have a carriage, but it may be attached for debt, and he cannot force his guardians to give him a horse. Of course, if he has no guardians, nor any income, either, he must do as other people and go without, but these things are considered necessary to peers. A manservant is allowed to a viscount or baron, but the house rent need not exceed £200, nor can it be less than £150. A doctor is better off than a viscount in one way—his carriage cannot be seized in most cases, nor can the expenses of it be reckoned in his income tax returns. In selling up a doctor for debt he may retain one horse, and two of his carpets are considered as necessaries to his business—the hall and consulting room—and reckoned at £20 apiece. He may have surgical instruments and medical appliances to the value of £1,000, and these cannot be seized. An ordinary man can retain nothing but his clothes, his hairbrushes and a few stern necessaries of that kind. No wine is allowed to a doctor, but if a student in the hands of trustees, he can demand a couple of servants and a house rent of £60 per year. The son of a well to do merchant or tradesman making about £1,000 a year can demand neither wine nor horses nor servants, but the law may allow him a rent of £50 and another £150 or £200 to keep himself on, supposing he is in the hands of guardians, whether under or over age. As to debt, he can be sold up, bar his personal necessaries and his clothes, though he is not generally allowed to keep more than six suits of the latter. If he has more a judge might allow them to be taken with the other chattels, and he can be left without a clairt to sit on or a spoon to eat with. Jewelry, if he has any, can be taken; but if he has say, two pairs of valuable sleeve links he can keep only one of them. In the same way he may keep a dress suit, but if he has two an order may be made to sell up one of them. A lawyer can have 500 books on legal subjects or in some way pertaining to law, and these have to be left alone by the brokers. There are extreme cases in which everything, even necessaries, may be taken, but the lawyer may also demand exemption even in such cases for his wigs, or at least two of them, and two gowns. As a student in the hands of guardians he can make them pay him £80 a year for chambers, and they must pay his examination and other fees. A clergyman or minister of any kind is worst off of all and can keep very little for himself. He can make his guardians come down with the fees his profession needs, however, and if he lives in the country as a curate and has some trustees and also a guardian he can make them supply him with a gardener. Why She Wept. Among the Mainnotes, descendants of the Spartans, thieving is considered a very honorable employment. An English traveler, being entertained at the house of one of the mountaineers, took some silver articles from a packing case he had with him to cat his dinner he became sullen and moody. The more we watched him the more convinced we became that something was wrong with him. Every time we came around we found him mumbling to himself, and one day a crowd of us found him seated on a stump in the middle of a big clover field, holding in front of him a long pole, attached to which was a piece of cord, on the end of which was a pin bent to resemble a fishhook. He would drop the hook into the long grass and let it stay there for a time. Then he would make a cast and when the hook fell would sit and watch the end of his line intently. Every once in awhile he would jerk the line out of the grass as though he had felt a nibble. Once one of the boys stepped up and said: "What are you fishing for? He got no answer. All Cinch did was to turn a pair of hollow eyes on him and then resume his fishing. After that a gang used to go out and watch Cinch every afternoon. They would hide in the grass and almost burst with laughter at the seriousness with which the poor fellow would cast his line of wrapping cord and his pin hook and then sit and wait for a bite. Every once in awhile one of the boys would saunter out and say: "What are you fishing for, Cinch? It got to be the regimental saying, and I suppose that the question, 'What are you fishing for,' was thrown at the man from Company C a hundred times a day. By and by the news got to the officers that Cinch was going fast. They heard about his fishing in the fields, and one day the surgeon major went out and witnessed the performance. He went back and reported to the colonel that unless Cinch was discharged at once he would be hopelessly insane. The result was that his condition was telegraphed on to Washington and discharge papers were returned at once. The colonel in the goodness of his heart went to look up Cinch and give him the news. He found him sitting on a stump in the field fishing away, while around him sat about 50 of the regiment, one of whom would yell, 'What are you fishing for, Cinch?' every few minutes. The colonel stepped up and touching Cinch on the shoulder said: "Cinch, we think your health demands that you leave the service, and so we have procured an honorable discharge for you. Here it is," and he handed Cinch the papers. "Cinch dropped his fishing pole and grabbed the papers. He gave one look at them, and when he saw that they were all right waved them triumphantly over his head and shouted at the top of his voice: "This is what I was fishing for, dang ye all. This is what I was fishing for, and I got it too.' And with that he went dancing over the field, leaving us standing there, the first gleam of the truth creeping into our brains. "The colonel looked foolish, and by and by we began to sneak away one by one. There was no doubt but what the regimental question, 'What are you fishing for, Cinch?' had been answered in a most emphatic and surprising fashion. Cinch was as sane as anybody, but when he found he could not get an honorable discharge in one way he tried for it another."—New York Sun A clergyman or minister of any kind is worst off of all and can keep very little for himself.

THE SLEPT IN SECURITY. There is a 5-year-old boy in Massachusetts avenue who is of the blood of patriots. His grandfather was in both the Mexican and civil wars, and his father was also a soldier, consequently the little fellow has heard much "flag" talk in his short life and has exalted ideas of its protective qualities. He was the baby of the family till very recently and occupied a crib bed in his mother's room. When the new baby came, Harold was put to sleep in a room adjoining his mother's, and as he had never slept alone before his small soul was filled with nameless fears which he was too proud to tell in full. "It's mighty lonesome in here, manna," he called the first night after he had been tucked in his little white bed. "Just remember the angels are near you and caring for you," replied mamma from the outer room. "But, mamma," he objected, "I ain't acquainted with any angels, and I'd be cared of them if they came rustling sound, same as I would of any other stranger." "Now, Harold, you must go to sleep quietly. Nothing will hurt you." "Can't I have the gas lighted in here?" "No; mamma doesn't think it necessary, and it is not healthy." There was silence for some time, and when the small voice piped up again, Oh, mamma!" "Yes, dear." "May I have grandpa's flag?" "Why, what for? I want you to go right to sleep." "Please, mamma!" and a small night-towned figure appeared at the door. Just let me stick the flag up at the head of my bed, and then I'll go right to sleep, indeed I will! You know the other night grandpa said at the meeting that 'under the protecting folds of the flag the weakest would be safe,' and I feel mighty weak, mamma." He got the flag, and when his mother looked in on him an hour later he was fast asleep, with a fat little fist under his red cheek, holding fast the end of the "protecting" flag.—Washington Star.

Chinese Restaurants There Tolerate a Free and Easy Etiquette, and Everybody Does Just About as He or She Pleases. In the last few years a surprisingly large number of Chinese restaurants have made their appearance in up town districts in New York. The tawdry outward decorations of red and blue lights and huge gilt Chinese characters are in every case the same. The same, too, are the unattractive entrances, the walls decorated with colored pictures of pretty Chinese girls and marvelous specimens of landscapes, the little tables covered with white oilcloth, the general dilapidation of the establishment. Nothing about them seems attractive, and yet these places thrive, and their number increases with astonishing rapidity. The reason is not far to seek if one is at all familiar with the facts. There are several characteristics of the Chinese restaurant which recommend it highly to certain classes and seem to indicate that its popularity is not a mere fad. In the first place it should be understood that most of these places are really what they are supposed to be, eating houses carried on under Chinese management. The cooks are invariably true Celestials, and in only a few cases are the proprietors Americans. The food is prepared, therefore, according to the most approved methods of the Middle Kingdom, with the result that in cheapness and savoriness (if you like it) it can easily outclass similar places run by American cooks. The Chinese is a master of the art of making palatable dishes out of next to nothing or rather a little of everything. Not even the French cook can rival him. The insipidity of cheap chop houses and the sameness of the dairy lunch counters are thus escaped by frequenters of these restaurants. Moreover, in spite of appearances the food is prepared in an extremely cleanly manner. No one is debarred from entering the kitchen, and a visit thither sends one back with renewed appetite to the untidy eating room. So many who while possessed of a small share of this world's goods still affect "sport" A CASE OF LAW. The Decision That Was Rendered by a Basuto Solomon. Law is a complicated thing, and some of its decisions seem not to be founded in equity. Probably most readers will pass that criticism upon the case recorded below: Basutoland, being broken and mountainous, was until recently the resort of lions, leopards and other wild animals. Now, however, the hillsides which were once the resort of these savage creatures are the pasture grounds of tens of thousands of cattle. Nearly all dangerous animals have been driven away from Basutoland, but not long ago a leopard appeared on the outskirts of a village. The animal soon became as badly frightened as the villagers and sought safety in flight. The next morning the inhabitants turned out for a hunt. One of the hunters was climbing a steep rock when he suddenly found himself face to face with the leopard, whose retreat was cut off by the rock itself. Neither the man nor the animal could escape the encounter. The dilemma was an awkward one, for the climber was unarmed. Realizing his danger, he put forth his hands and in desperation caught hold of the leopard on each side of its jaw, holding it at arm's length and calling for help. The leopard clawed and tore his captur, but the man held on till help arrived, and the beast was speared. Now came a question of law. By Basuto law the skin belonged to the chief, who must reward one of three claimants—either the man who speared the leopard or the man who held it so that it was possible to speak it or the man who, being warned by the barking of his dog, first discovered the animal in the village. The Basuto Solomon decided the case as follows: The man who speared it could not have done so but for the man who held it, and the man who held it could not have known of its existence if the dog had not first warned the village; therefore the credit for the killing belonged to the dog, whose owner was entitled to the reward.

Any one who feels like it may stroll into the kitchen and try a little pigeon English on the cook. The proprietor will teach anybody to use the chopsticks and roar with laughter over the failures of the novice. Everybody does as he or she pleases within certain very elastic bounds. The limit is reached sooner in some places than in others, for while some of the houses are before midnight at least perfectly well conducted others, are of more than questionable respectability. It is curious and interesting to note that under American management the tone of these places is lower than when the Chinese are in sole control. These new up town places are not so good, either in a moral or a culinary way, as those down in Chinatown. It is usual to speak as if Mott and Pell streets were the city's sink of iniquity, and so they are in some respects, but there are no Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood as disreputable as one or two up town. The clientele of the down town places is above suspicion as a rule. Chinese drop in for their meals, and dwellers from up town come either from curiosity or because they have learned to like good Chinese cooking. Up town the bills of fare are more limited. "Yockaman," "chop, suey" and "chowman" are the pieces de resistance. They answer the purpose certainly, for 25 cents' worth of some kinds of chop suey served with rice will make a toothsome dish for two people.

There is also a free and easy atmosphere about the Chinese eating house which attracts many would be "Bohemians" as well as a goodly share of a class below the lowest grades of the city's many graded Bohemias. Visitors loll about and talk and laugh loudly. When the waiter is wanted, some one emits a shrill yell which brings an answering whoop from the kitchen, followed sooner or later by a little Chinese at a jog trot. Any one who feels like it may stroll into the kitchen and try a little pigeon English on the cook. The proprietor will teach anybody to use the chopsticks and roar with laughter over the failures of the novice. Everybody does as he or she pleases within certain very elastic bounds. The limit is reached sooner in some places than in others, for while some ofthe houses are before midnight at least perfectly well conducted others, are of more than questionable respectability. It is curious and interesting to note that under American managementthe tone of these places is lower than whenthe Chinese are in sole control. These new up town places are not so good, either in a moral or a culinary way, as those down in Chinatown.

IT'S AN ILL OMEN, Thinks the wife, to have the wedding ring slip from the finger. "Something is going to happen." Something is happening. That ring could hardly be pulled from the finger when it was put there a few years ago. Now it slips off by its own weight. How thin the fingers have grown! And the fingers don't grow thin alone. How thin the face is and how thin the once plump form. Almost unconsciously the wife has been fading and wasting away. The strength given to children has never been regained. Drains which should have been stopped have been neglected. That is a common experience with women, unless some friend has shared with them the secret of the strengthening and healing power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It regulates the periods, dries the drains which undermine the strength, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It makes the baby's advent practically painless and gives vigor and vitality to nursing mothers. "Words cannot tell how grateful I am for your kind advice and good medicines," writes Mrs. John Cooke of Hastings, Northumberland Co., Yearly. "I have been in poor health for four years back and this spring got so bad I could not do my work. I went to the doctor and he said I had ulceration and falling of the internal organs, but thought I would try your 'Favorite Prescription.' I took five bottles and three of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and one vial of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and I can safely say that I never felt better in my life." A Ladies' Laxative—Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One single, small pellet is a laxative dose. Why "Wedding Breakfast?" "In all my experience of wedding breakfasts," said a guest at a wedding, "I have never understood why the feast was called a breakfast and not a luncheon. Now I have learned. It is from the custom in the Church of England, where the bride and bridegroom always receive the holy communion before the ceremony, receive it fasting and remain fasting until after the wedding, when the meal which is served is really a breakfast."—New York Times. Punching In London Parks. Nearly all the London parks are well stocked with eatable birds, and it is the easiest thing in the world for the loafers to kill them, clean them and carry them off to the nearest hot plate for roasting. A story is told by Londoners of a couple of imbecious Scotch black and white artists who took a garret in Lincoln's Inn Fields and lived for a week on Law court pigeons, which are plump, lively, plentiful and tame and would doubtless make a good meal. In addition to punching in the parks, there is also good reason to believe that many of the rare birds sold to shady bird dealers are snared there. Glasgow News. Encouraging Her Consin.

Yet because the preacher is a leader it is natural to give weight to his statements. His very position and responsibility to his people and the world at large not only forbid the thought of untruth in him, but lend emphasis to any voluntary declaration of fact which he may make. If a pastor says to one of his congregation who is coughing, "I cured a very bad cough once by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," he could offer no stronger endorsement as to the value of that well-known medicine as a cure for coughs; and if such a pastor makes for the time the world his parish, and puts out the same testimony he is only enlarging the scope of his benefaction. For if the world at large knew and was persuaded of the wonderful curative powers of "Golden Medical Discovery" in cases of diseases of the respiratory organs, it would mean a great increase in the general health and comfort, not to say a probable saving of a great many lives. AS TRUE AS GOSPEL." It is "as true as gospel" that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs, bronchitis, weak and bleeding lungs and such diseases of the respiratory organs as through neglect or unskillful treatment may find a fatal termination in consumption. It is also true that the limit to a possibility of a cure cannot be set. When people who have had fourscore hemorrhages of the lungs are cured by the use of the "Discovery," there is certainly hope for one who may have had ninety hemorrhages. When some one is taken from the condemned cell into which the local practitioner has shut him, and from a weak, emaciated "I took a severe cold wipe the bronchial tubes," wrote Hay, of Nortonville, Jefferson sas.

The bell on historic old St. John's church, in Richmond, where Patrick Henry made his famous speech prior to the American Revolution, rang in the twentieth century. This bell is thus given the distinction of being the only one in this country, with the possible exception of that on old Liberty hall, in Philadelphia, that has rung in three centuries. Old St. John's bell has an interesting history. Many years ago, when the old structure for which it was made was repaired, the bell was removed and sold. Later its last owner presented it to the Virginia Historical society, by which it was restored to the church. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Shopping. Shopman—This matches your sample perfectly, madam.

It is the record of such cures which has given Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a pre-eminence among all preparations for the cure of diseases of the organs of respiration. "I desire to send you this brief, unsolicited testimonial," writes Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman of Barium Springs, Iredell Co., N.C. "In 1898, one of my daughters was suffering on account of a severe cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lungs. I promptly gave her Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with gratifying success, and she now enjoys excellent health. This experience caused me to recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who, without exception, used them with favorable results. This being true, I hereby heartily endorse your medicines." It can be truly said of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery that it always helps and almost always cures. Ninety-eight per cent of all who use "Golden Medical Discovery" are perfectly and permanently cured. The remaining two per cent, though not cured acknowledge benefit. They cough less, eat better, sleep better and feel better for the use of the "Discovery." THE IMPORTANT POINT. While extreme cases of disease are cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery," the important point is not to neglect the slight cough. From such neglect fatal results have Something In A Name. The advantages that fall to the lot of a man whose surname occurs early in an alphabetical list are well known. As a candidate for office upon an Australian ballot, for example, a man named Abbott has a far better chance than the most eminent Zwelgler. But the benefit that comes from the possession of a short name has not heretofore been generally recognized. Not long ago the promotion of one of the auditors of the treasury department at Washington created a vacancy to which, upon a formal recommendation to that effect, the candidate having the shortest name, being also a competent man, was appointed. His chief duty is to affix his signature to accounts, and as he needs to make but six letters in signing he can do twice as much in a day as a man whose name contains 12 letters—Youth's Companion.

From such neglect fatal results have come to many thousands. It is useless to try the mere "cough medicine," or palliative, which soothes but does not cure. The one thing desirable is to be cured quickly and permanently, and it is in such cures that the "Discovery" proves its value. "I took a severe cold which settled in the bronchial tubes," writes Rev. Frank Hay, of Nortonville, Jefferson Co., Kansas. "After trying medicines labeled 'Sure cure,' almost without number, I was led to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took two bottles and was cured, and have stayed cured. When I think of the great pain I had to endure, and the terrible cough I had, it seems almost a miracle that I was so soon relieved. That God may spare you many years and abundantly bless you is the prayer of your grateful friend."
