ABQUT TITLED PEOPLE.
The duke of York recently sold his fa~
mous collection of postage stamps to
one Of the 'Rothschilds. It'was insured
for $000,000.
Whenever the prince of Wales alludes
to his mother he always uses the words:
“My mother, the queen.” When his son ‘
is under discussion it is: “My son, the
duke of York.” This simplicity of
speech ,is never heard on the continent,
where full titles and elaborate stiffness
is the rule.
A cousin 'of the German emperor,
Countess Fritz Hohenuu, has startled
Brussels by introducing this winter the
custom of women riding astride when a
hunt is in progress. She has organized
a class of aristocratic young women
vx ho pledge themselves to adopt. this
si y le. ‘
Sundow has a rival in an Austrian.
Archducbess Maria Theresa practices
daily with dumbbells and can lift a man
with one hand. Recently a heavy iron
column fell on a man and she lifted it
high enough to enable him to be‘wit-h-
drawn. In spite of her strength she is
n delicate looking woman. She is 31
and the mother of five children.
Queen Margherita of Italy is well
known to the public though her nu-
merous photographs, but. recently she
was riding through a portion of the
p. ark of \lonza which is denied the pub
lic. A curbineer stopped her, repri-
manded her and then asked her to give
him her name. Later in the day the
queen sent him her photograph, also.
one of the ten-franc pieces which hear
her picture. .
JUST ABOUT DOGS.
In old England it was said that one
bulldog was a match for a bull; two
could. meet a wolf; three overcome it
bear, and four a lion.
- The taste of the dog is exceedingly
dull and perverted. Even the most lux-
uriously fed pets often resort to a. diet
of offal or carrion.
The most famous St. Bernard dog was
named “Barry.” He saved 40 lives, and
his stuffed skin is now preserved in a
Borne museum.
Everywhere in the Bible the dog is
mentioned in terms of contempt, the
reason being probably found in the
character of the oriental dog.
The Suliotc of Germany, also called
the bourhound, is one of the largest dogs
known. Many specimens are four feet
high at the Shoulder.
Many varieties of wild dogs have been
crossed with wolves, juckals and foxes,
and thus have. produced great numbers
of hybrid varieties. ‘
The lower canine teeth of. the dog
close in front of the upper, which git cs
that animal t 1e tightness of grip so re
markable 1n the species.
The Alpine, or St. Bernard, is believed
by some naturalists to be a variety of
spaniel, while others consider it a dc-
scendunt of the Newfoundland.
The. bulldog has less brain in. propor—
tion to his weight than any other va-
riety of dog, a fact which renders his
training almost- impossible.

K4TTEN MOUNTS AN OSTRICH.
It Mistakes the Bird’s Legs for Saplings
and Pay; Dearly for Its Folly.
The ostrich at the Philadelphia. Zoo-
logical garden stood in the long yard
adjoining its cage in the deerhouse the
other .day. It gazed contemplatively
through the bars of the fence at the
world beyond, and shivered once in
awhile as the cool breezes swept down
upon it. A playful kitten came through
the fence into the yard. The kitten
went running along the yard until it
came to the ostrich. Thinking its
long, thick legs were young saplings,
the playful kitten gave a run and
quickly climbed up them, and-was soon
on top Of the ostrich’s back. The huge
bird did not knew what to make of it
at first, and went centering around the
yurd_'a.s though the plague were after it.
Round and round it went until. red in
the face, it came to asudden stop. The
kitten never moved. It had taken a
firm hold of the ostrich’s feathers, and
did not propose to be shaken. Finding
that the strange beast refused to be
thus disposed of, the ostrich became
less scared and more angry. It curled
its neck and twisted its head so as to
get a. fair loo { at the kitten. The kit.-
ten never winced. It began to think it
had barked up the wrong tree, but it
was determined to see the matter out.
The ostrich aimed a blow at the rider,
but the cat dodged. ' It tried again, but
the result was the same. Again and
again the agile head and long neck
rained sledge-hammer blows at the
tricky little kitten. It escaped them all,
though some came rather too near for
comfort. Finally the kitten got scared.
It ran out on the ostrich’s neck to get
out of the way. The ostrich could. not
hit it there. \Vith a. sudden movement,
however, the ostrich stretched its neck
backward, encircled the kitten around
the waist, and squeezed it until it was
dead. Then it. unwound itself and
placidly looked at t‘ 1c dead animal.
After a. moment 01 two of contempla-
tion it picked up its victim and flung it
as far as it could.
EARLIEST OF ROSES.
The Provence or Cabbage Bose Described
by Herodotus.
In a learned article on roses the Quar-
terly Review. says: he earliest cer-
tain trace in Greek literature of the
rose as a cultivated flower is to be-
found in Herodotus, in his account of»
the rise-Of the house of Macedonia.
The sons of Tcmcnus, he says (book
viii.. 138), fled into another pzirt of
Macedonia, and took up their abode
‘near the gardens of Midas. In these
gardens are roses which grow of them-
selvcs’—that is, we suppose, without
much attention to pruning 01' budding
—— so sweet that no others can vie with
them in this. and their blossoms have
as many as sixty petals apiece.’ ”
Every 10segrowei will at once recog-
nize in this the most venerable of all
rose records, the original rosu centi-
folia, still more than two thousand
years afterward one of the sweetest in
many an old English garden—the Old
Provence or cabbage wise. And it is a
curious illustration of‘llerodotus’ ac-
curacy in unsuspected details that
Pliny describes the same rose as found
principally in much the same district,
in the- ncighborhood of Philippi, the
people of which, he says, get it from
the neighboring Mount Pangueus, and
greatly improve it by transplantation.
In the long history of roses the Pro-
vence or hundred-leaved rose seems
chiefly to have formed the backbone of
continuity.
LOST FOR AGES.
Discovery of a Buried City in Turkest’an
' by-a. Party of Prussians.
In Turkestan, on the right bank of
the Amou Diara, in a. chain Of rocky
hills, near the Bokliai‘an town of
Karki, are a number Of large. caves
which, upon examination, were found
to lead to an underground city, built
apparently long before the Christian
era. According to efligies, says In-
formation, inscriptions and designs
upon the gold and silver money un-
earthed from among the ruins- the .ex-
istencc of the town dates back to some
two centuries before the birth of
Christ.
The underground BOkharan city is
about two versts long and is composed
of an enormous labyrinth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by
houses‘and other buildings two or three
stories high. The edifices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases and so forth. In some of the
streets falls of‘earth and rock have Ob-
Structed the passages, but generally
the visitor can walk about freely with-
out lowering nhis head. The high de-
gree of civilization attained by the in-
habitants of the city is shown by the
fact that they built in several stories,
by the symmetry of the streets and
square, and by the beauty of the clay
and metal utensils and of the orna-
ments and coins.
Draining a Lake.
Tne Fanfulla. of Rome announces
that the project of the draining of the
Trasimenian lake, which has been
talked about for more than two thou-
sand years, will at last become a. fact.
A syndicate of capitalists has bought
up the territory surrounding the lake,
and the immense undertaking will be
started this year. The circumference
of the lake, in which there are three
small islands, is more than thirty
miles. Its depth averages nine feet.
It is proposed to finish the work inside
of two years, and it is to cost twelve
million lire (two million four hundred
thousand dollars).
Treasure in a. Burial Ground.
Near the battlefield of Marathon, in
Greece, a. prehistoric burial mound re-
cently opened yielded eleven Old
Mycenman vases, two of them go (1, and
some gold earrings. At a. place called
Krikella, where the Ga-uls were driven
back by the Greeks in 279 B. C., and
over twenty thousand of them slain, a
bronze helmet. has been found, and at 4
Lycosura the mosaic floor Of the temple
of Despoina has been laid bare. In the
center two lifelike lions of natui :11 size
are depicted, surrounded by successive
