STOCKING THE ROYAL LARDER
-Provision for Kinjr K < Iward's House
hold Fill a Quarter of an Acre.
The amount of food consumed Ir
Tthe royal household is truly prodigious
and consequently .the most spaciout
Jarders are necessary to contain it
says Pearson's Weekly. As a mat
er of fact , the larders , cellars ant
dairies cover an area of nearly a quar
ter of an acre.
At all the king's residences excepl
Buckingham palace the bread is pro
duced in the royal bakeries and wher
the king and his suite are staying al
{ Windsor an average of nearly twc
; sacks of flour a day is converted into
bread by the five bakers in the house-
hold. There are six bakings a week
' and as the loaves leave the oven they
- ' are stored in the underground pan
tries. A great deal of cake and con
fectionery is also made daily , but the
lung shows a preference for a lighi
teecdcake which Is dispatched everj
day from a.small , shop in the high-
lands.
It is somewhat surprising to lean :
.that approximately a ton of meat is
consumed every week at Windsor , a
good deal of which comes from the
* king's farm at Sandringham. So vari
ed is the meat supply that his majesty
could , if he wished , be served witL
almost any joint he desired at nn
hour's notice , though It is very rarelj
he selects anything not found in the
kitchen. The i eat , on arrival , is stor
ed in the ice-houses and cut up by
the king's buichers.
Sandringham also supplies the royal
dairies with a large amount of but
ter and eggs , which are dispatched
from the king's Norfolk home daily.
The butter is sent in quarter-pound
pats , stamped with the crown. Eigh
teen gallons of new milk alone are
consumed at Windsor every day , be
sides an equal proportion of cream. A
great deal of tfee cheese comes rom
Somersetshire.
A daily supply o fish is received
all the year round , and tvrk-e a week
during the season some splendid sal
mon are sent from the king's fish
ings on the Dee. Scotland is also
responsible for the marmalade , Avhich
is never omitted from King Edward's
breakfast table.
India contributes its quota to the
royal larder , for regular supplies of
spices , chutncys and other prepara
tions are sent from Calcutta , together
with native cordials , for which the
sovereign has a great liking. In fact ,
every quarter of the empire sends
something to the king's larder even
Malta , whence come at intervals large
quantities of sardines and pickled pil
chards.
ART OF BATTING THE BALL.
Brcsnahan , the Giants' Rest Hitter ,
Gives Points en the Game.
Confidence and good eye are the prin
cipal tilings a bastfball player must
possess if he wishes to become a good
batter , together with the ability to
judge from the location of the oppos
ing fielders where they expect the man
at the bat to hit the ball. The man
who stands close to the plate while at
the bat and bears in mind that every
pitcher , no matter who he is or what
his reputation may be , must put the
ball over the rubber , can , with prac
tice , become a geed and , I may saj1 , a
dangerous hitter , even if lie has not
the natural ability of swne of the
great batter of the past and present ,
says Roger Bresnahan in the Illus
trated Sporting News.
One very bad fault many young
players have is the habit of pulling
away from the plate , as it is called ,
when a ball looks as though it might
possibly hit the batter. How many
times have you seen a man step back
from a curved ball which a second
after "cut the plate" and was called a
trike , much to his discomforture ?
The remedy for this , I think , is a sim
ple one , which can be mastered by
nny young man possessing the neces-
Bary confidence : It Is simply to step
forward and meet the ball before it
crosses the plate. In this "way the ball
is always in front of the batter , and he
is , so to speak , on top of it before it
breaks.
Many pitchers have a pwraling drop
ball which looks easy and fades away
from the bat when you strike at it.
On the other hand , many of the best
boxmen are now using a rise bail
pithced with a side arm motion. A
batter has a much better chance to kill
either of these balls by stepping into
them to the limit of the batter's box
as they approach the plate. The same
thing applies to balls either on the in-
Bide or the outside of the plate.
It is much easier to hit the ball by
running in on IL By meeting the ball
early it can be sent in the direction
of the left field. Tlij old theory that
If you wish to strike a ball toward the
right field you must strike at It after
It has crossed the plate is pretty well
exploded. By stepping In and meeting
the ball in front of you It is just as
easy , if not easier , to drive it toward
right field as it Is to pull it Into left
leld.

HALIFAX , N. s. , Oct. 29. The
declaration that the existing relations
between Canada and Great B'itain
cannot ex st much longer was made
yesterday by the Halifax Chronicle ,
the leading newspaper supporter in
the maratime provinces of the liberal
party. In the course of an unusually
outspoken editorial on the recent
Alaska boundary award , the Chronicle
expresses what it says is the unanim
ous dissatisfaction of Canadians at the
action ot the British'government in
this matter. The paper says :
"This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations to the
empire cannot be continued much
1 nger. We are even now at the part
ing of the ways. Our subordinate po
sition has been so clearly and humiliatingly -
atingly revea'ed that it must speedily
bee me utterly unendurable. "
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open for Canada ,
comp'ete legislative it dependence
within tne empire , acknowledging the
sovereignty of the king of England
alone , or , the status of aa independ
ent nation. The paper says there is
'much to commend the latter step in
particular because it woul 1 free Can
ada from the danger of ever being
embroiled with the United States on
account of its European connection ,
and at the sarue time it would secure
for the dominion the benefit of the
protection of the Monroe doctrine.
LONDON , Oct. 29. Chief Secretary
for Ireland Wyndham , speaking at
Dover last night , said that unless
England was prepared to lose her
prestige she could not afford to see
Canada dominated by American capi
tal. With the fiscal reform as pro
posed by Mr. Chamberlain , said Mr.
Wyndham , Canada cnuld become the
granary of Great Britain. He strongly
urged the linking of Canada directly
with the mother country. This , he
paid , must be done , whether it is ac
complished by Mr. Chamberlain's
method or some other.
