1t appears that the Queen. in going
out driving, the first time the Duchess Of
Edinburg accompanied her, placed, as
usual, the Princess of Wales beside her on
the back seat, so that the Duchess and her
spouse were forced TO sit opposite with
their backs TO the horses, which was all
very well for the Duke, he being man
and In his mothers carriage, but the proud
and petted daughter OF the Car of all the
Russas had no idea Of beirg made TO yield
the first place To any one. On her return
from the drive, therefore, she informed
Queen Victoria that she had never occupied
the front seat In carriage before, and that
she would not submit 10 be placed there

Duchess that the Princess of Wales, as
the wife of the heir 10 the crown and the
future Queen of England, was, of course,
entitled To take precedence over the wife

Princess Beatrice, as an unmarried English
Princess, still under the immediate protec-
ton of the Queen, was also entitled 10
take precedence over any of the other f.
male members of the royal family. Il Re-

VI. Il. Bateham, in the Horticuiterist.
says OF the reports made of recent expert
ments in the use of sulphur on Caiawba
vineyards on the Islands: Ii was stated
by one of the apegrowers from there.
that sulphuring the vines had been prac-
tced to some extent tor several years past.
and that when judiciously doae. it was
found "A certain preventive of mildcw and
rotting of the fruit, and also of the blight
ing OF the foliage and where this was
practiced. in 1872. the vines ripcned their
wood so well as TO suffer but little damage
from the winter, and thus produced half
crop. while vineyards not sulphured bore
no fruit at all. These facts will cause "A
very general Us, of sulph r hereafter. and
much Improvement /, expected therefrom.
The practice j. to mix the sulphur with an
equal quantity of fine. air-slaked lime. and
apply the powder with a bellows Of which
they manufacture a very cheap style for
the purpose. The first application Is made
as soon as the blossoms are fl In June.
and repeat once month or 50 during the
summer. The labor andexpense are quite
small compared with the benefits; and the
practice is recommended To grape-growers
generally, especially foi varieties that are
subject to mildew or blghting of the ioli-
age. Let us all give the experiment a
trial and report the results next year.
