The Master of the Rolls and the four Lords of Appeal in Ordinary rank next, with 0 a year each: while no fewer than twenty-six puisne Judges receive £5000 | a year each, or the same salary as a Cabinet Minister of the first rank. Including with these the Attorney | General, whose official income last year was £13,306, and the Solicitor General, with £9163, the thirty-five leading offi- cials “in the law” receive an aggregate salary of over :”Ov 000, or an average income of £5737. The fifty-six lawyers who have se- the haven of a County Cou Judgeship are passing rich on a com- e of £84,300. The Stipendiary Magistrates are al- most equally blessed. The twenty-six lawyers who administer justice in our | police courts together are able to subsist on £38,500 a year, of which amount twenty-four receive £1500 each, an. one £300 a year more. But the chief prizes in the law are not to the Jignified occupants of the bench. There are in England at least a dozen counsel whose income is nearly double that of the Lord Chancellor him- self. Sir Edward Clarke would count it a bad year which did not bring him £20,000; and Sam Pope, Mr. Littler, Sir “Bob” Reid and at least half a dozen | metropoli others could forfeit the joint salary at- | tached to the woolsack and yet save money. At least twenty other men at the bar make an average income of £5000 a vear, and probably fifty others can rely on makSng half this amount. Rich as their rewards are, it Is only one man out of twenty who 1s among the “called.” To the remaining nine- | teen, many of them of equal ability, such good fortune will never come and for them these figures can yield no de- lights.—London Malil —e————— PRAYING UNDER COMPULSION. A curious story is told in “M. P. as to the way ll;:ywhlch the Sirdar dealt with a case of clerical intolerance dur-| ing the Soudan campaign. The occasion | was the ever-to-be-remembered ceremony | which took place at Khartoum, when the triumphant British and Egyptian_armies | solemnly and !p]endldli crowned their | campaign of ves ¥ celebrating the imposing rites o rdon’s funeral.” By | common consent, lhe various chaplains | attached to Kitchener's forces—Anglican, | Metrodist, Romanist and so forth—had | agreed, with one exception, to r!cna a sp«:lnuiv1 compiled prayer during the serv- ice at the tomb. The one exception was a strangely obstinate cleric. Klu:han:r. hy that the reverend gen uestion had refused to otn in fi.nfi e nyet. promptl; lcnt for: him, the rumor which had reached "Cumnly"' weas the cleric’s uncom- promising reply. “Very well, then,” sald Kitchener, tak- out his watch, “I give you just five B ekt cousioer wheiher you will Joie in reci this prayer or not, and, if you don’t, I march you down to Calro under arrest.’” Before the five minutes were up the had decided that was man the Sirdar was concerned, and it is satis- factory to know that at Gordon’s tomb, at all events, the mruenuUm of nor- mally wflxex‘g sects were absolutely unan- imous in their petitions to heaven. ——e——— Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush and Larkin sts.

Place in a Naval Officer’s House. | n the delightful home of a well-| known officer of the United States navy, | household purest anu most unvarnished man-‘o- The naval officer is a deep- water and heavy-weather man of so many years' standing that his talk is y, and all of the membe ife, grown daught unconsciously picked t from him. _ “How X do dread the task of ‘break- | ing out’ my fall and winter eclothes| arain!” said one of the young women of the family to a young woman caller | the other day, and it took her quite five | i to explam that in the navy, “breaking out” means unpacking, re-| moving, overhauling gear from a store- room. When one of the naval officer’s young | sons wants the boy from the next house to make his appearance out in front for playing purposes, he gives a shrill whistle, like unto the blast of a bo’s'n’s | pipe, and then, in a voice pitched in as| deep a key as his treble ix capable of | handline h ha-a-ands | to quarters me boy has been | often reprimanded, when there is com- | pany in the house for evening tea, focr| walking through hall, when the meal is about to be served, and stnging | out, “All hands lay aft for grog.” ‘When, as occasionally happens, the| | naval officer and his wife are emzagadi in havin~ a trifling tiff downstairs over | | some minor matter or other, one of the| | young women of the house has been known to walk mischlevously through | | the upper hali, singing out, “All hs.nd:‘ | bury the dead!” “Stand by!” is the ordinary phrase in the naval officer’s home when the ut- terer of that ship command wants to gain attention for some remark. When one of the young women of the house | is ready to start downtown on a shop- | ping expedition and wants to know if there are any commissions that she can execute for her mother or sisters, she takes up her station in the front hall and sings out: “All o' youse men that’s got mail for the United States wants to know that the mail orderly is about to go over the | side with the mail!” When the mother and daughters are about starting out for an afternoon drive, the boy afore- said generally pipes “them away by singing out, bos’n’smatewise: “Al hands abandon ship!” When a coupie of his sisters get at momentary logger- heads over some little matter or other the same boy yells: *“Collision quar- ters!” and bolts for it. There are no such- words as “front” and “back” in this house. It is *“for’ard” and “aft.” | “Willie, run up for'ard and see 1f [ left my gloves there,” one of the youngar women will say to her little brother. “I saw ’em aft on the mizzenrail awhile ago,” the boy will reply, meaning that he saw them on one of the windowsills in the back parlor. When one of the young women wishes to hold up her father for a bit of shopping money, she puts the proposition to him something like this: “Papa, suppose you play pay- master, and we lay aft to the pay office and you serve out monthly money. I need some small stotres.” When the younger son of the honsa i has been derelict and his mother wishes to threaten him with an interview with his father, she says: “Willie, I've a | great mind to take you up to the mast.” { When the boy is kept in the house for misconduct, he teils the boy next door | from the window of his room that he’s I“dr)h:lg a trick in the brig.” When his father wants his carriage orderel for a ride somewhere on business, the lad whistles the proper ship’s call and givee the coachman the word, “Crew of *the captain’s gig lay aft.” When the boy himself is bound for morning school, he | signalizes his departure by the ship’s word, “Up anchor.” There is no such a thing as a "“floor” {in this naval officer’s house. All of the floors are “decks.” The basement is the berth deck, the main floor is the spar deck, and so on. Nothing is washed, it is “swabbed.” A cuspidor is a “spit. kit.” The water cooler is the “scuttla. butt.” And so on. A retired old man- o’-war's-man who would take a job as servant in this naval officer’s establish- ment would never become lonesoma.— "mb" ‘Washington Post.

Full line of lead: Beware of Imitations Among the passengers is Jack Carr, Yukon mailcarrier, who left Dawson November 21. He says the population | of Dawson City has materially de- creased, it now being estimated at 15,- 000. Cost of living has also decreased, good meals costing but a dollar. There | will be no food shortage this winter. There is little hope of the mail service being kept up between Dawson and the outside world this winter. The body of J. H. Cadenhead. a Dominion land surveyor, was found frozen in the ice on the Klondike River near Dawson, October 27. He had left Sulphur Creek the day previous and in the night had broken through the ice. Unable to pull himself out, he slowly froze to death, with his hands soread out on the ice. Before losing con- sciousness he took his field notes and papers from his pockets and threw them from him, so that they might be picked up and saved. E. W.

He came across the man a short distance this side of Dawson, and as he was poor offered to assist him out to the coast. The man apparently | gratefully accepted, and the two there- after traveled together. ‘When near the mouth of the Hoota- linqua river, Sandison’s mate is said to have suddenly raised an ax and at- tempted to brain him. But Sandison was too quick. Seizing the man by the legs he hurled him to the ground be- fore he could injure him. Seeing the impracticability of attempting to do anything with his assailant, Sandison feigned forgiveness and the two trav- eled out together. But as soon as the police post at Lake Tagish was reached | the man was turned over to the ofi- cers. Restores VITALITY LOST VIGOR, CHUTES AND 700! EVERY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
