It is a favorite country residence of the Dutch, being ve healthful and quiet. Oom Paul rises early, accord ing to his lifelong custom, takes a cup of black coffee the first thing in the morning, and when dressed re- pairs to the rden, where he re- mains as a rul 1 half past nine.

The Anointing of Kings. The question as to whether Ring Edward be anointed at his coronation and if so what form the ceremony would take is bringing to light some interesting stories to the way in which the rite was for- merly performed.

He Scolded the Youag Rats Who Got Caught, and Then Coolly Opened the Trap, A man from Paring, Me., came into Calais lately and unfolded a rat story that has by unanimous consent been placed first in the local book of fact and fiction. Daniel Pike, who told the story, declared that it was true to the last word, and offered to go before & justice of the peace and make oath to that effect. Mr. Pike had been bothered by rats in his barn, and after inspecting all the ancient and modern devices for the capture of rats, selected one of the ge variety.
