rounded us on every side. Dust storms

Distant gleams of glittering Ice from

“But here, in a land where there is
almost no fuel, and where few crops
besides hay and turnips can be raised,

have not always found in populous
cities.
“There are no schools, to be sure,
outside of Reykjavik and one or two
other small towns, for children cannot
walk ten miles each way to a school
house, and even such a schoolhouse
would accommodate but two or three
families. But the itinerant peda

carrying his store of learning with
him, and leaving behind much intel

“They were great chess players in
the lonely farmhouse where we stayed
and they were keen to play with us.
Although my companion considered
him? if a fair chess player he was ig
nominlously beaten by the angular
lady of the household. They had a
Bible too and an Icelandic hymn hook.
We went away from our short visit to
the lonely farmhouse of the Sog with
the impression that the home life in
the typical farms of Iceland might
well be envied by dwellers in more
favored climes.”
POPE’S HEAVY MAIL BAG
His Holiness Gets Greater Number or
Missives Than Any King or
Executive.
If one were asked to speculate as to
the sovereign whose daily mall bag
was the greatest one would hazard
the kaiser. But po. Then most will
say It ought to be. On on unim
peachable authority of a Paris con
temporary we learn that the pope Is
the recipient of the greatest number
of missives.
The mall of his holiness consists
on the average of 23,000 letters, news
papers, etc. To go through this mass
35 secretaries are kept employed.
The president of the United States
receives nearly 1,000 letters daily and
about 4,000 journals and books.
The kaiser’s mail consists of 4,000
letters and frequently the same num
ber of books and papers. Our king,
we learn, is favored with 1,000 letters
a day and over 2,000 newspapers and
books.
The czar Is not overworked in this
respect for a sovereign, his majesty’s
mail being given at 650 letters, etc.,
per day. The kings of Italy and
Spain have to deal with about 200
letters each.
Queen Wllhelmlna Is still more fa
vored with 150 letters, etc. But Pres
ident Fallieres is still more fortunate,
for we are told that he receives few
letters and hardly any papers.—Lon
don Globe.
Badge of Servitude.
Would-be artlstocrats in America
who are wont to decorate the hats of
their coachmen with cockades are
probably ignorant of the fact that from
a European standpoint the cockade is
only used to show that the wearer is a
servant of royalty. Across the water
the cockade can be legally worn only
by servants of royalty, including naval
and military officers, diplomatists, lieu
tenants, deputy lieutenants and high
sheriffs of counties. As worn by these,
the color is black. The black cockade
was introduced in England by the
house of Hanover, although previous
thereto it had been worn in various
colors. A scarlet cockade was in
vogue during the time of Charlos I
His son adopted white, the badge oi
the Jacobites, while orange was the
color of William of Orange. Orange
! remains the color In the Netherlands.
} Black and white Is the color in Ger
many, black and yellow In Australia,
tricolor In France, scarlet in Spain,
blue and white In Portugal—that Is
before the revolution—and black, red
i and yellow in Belgium. The word
“cockade” comes from the French “co
crrde,” originally applied to the feath
ers of the ceck worn by Croatian sol
diers serving in the French army.

Chinese Will Take Part.
Dresden is planning for an exposi
tion devoted to the cause of hygiene,
sports and their allied interests. Ac
cording to advance information this
exposition, which hitherto has not
i been very much talked about, is likely
to surprise by its perfection of detail
and architectural beauty—as might be
; expected of Dresden.
That the exposition will be world
wide in Its scope is evinced by the
fact that the executive committee has
just received plans from the Chinese
for the erection of an Imposing Chi
nese section. It is proposed to erect
a largo hall for this purpose, and an
imposing pagoda will he erected as a
demonstratio of Chinese n'chitec
t$Ura' development.
