ENTANGLING ALLIANCES.
Even royal young people, now days.

son of Macallum More! London society is

Louise will ere long become the sistar-in-

So" The Tories have long dstrustcd his
auburn haired Grace of Argyll. He has
been but too plainly playing with the dan
gerous fire of radicalsln what iconoclastic
crimes he has been supposed to be contem-
| plating there is no distinct assertion, but
the whsperings have been gloomy and fore
boding.
When the Lord of Lorne his heir, welded
the Queens fourth daughter, Argyll seemed
to have become grappled to the throne with
hooks Of gold. The blood of Macaium
More was deemed not unworthy to mnglc
with that of royal Guelph. But this latest
development Of ducal radicalism has fairly
taken away the breath of the West End.
"swart son of toll" will thus, perhaps,
become the grandsire of hereditary noble;
at least, the self-made Milne, who used to
eat his daily 'snack" Of bread and treacle
between work, down in the iron country,
and who even now is quantity ungrammati-
cal in speech and proletarian in manner,
must sit at the groaning boards at Inverary
and sip his old port and curacao, elbowed
by Duchesses and COuntesses on either
hand.
But the grand old times when the sons of
Kings and mobiles werewont to be disposed of
by deeds of settlement and handed over
with the allowances Of trousseans as a mere
matter of nOtarial bargain, have passed
away. There are few of the younger gene
ration Of European princes and princesses
who were thus automatically disposed of.
The CzarOwitch loved the Czarevna before

Hnmbert was long. desperately and vainly in
love with his cousin, the pretty Princess
Marguerite, before he could get the paternal
consent; the marriages of the Prince Of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prin-
cess Alice and the Princess Louise were ali
VIGOROUSLY love matches, as were those of
the King Of Greece and the late King of
Spain. The satircal report of Bis
marck's speech, on being consulted
about the marriage of Lord Walter
Campbell, with Miss Milne, might very
well be true. Royalty has descended il IA
large degree of late years to the justified
condition Of private families. AS long
royal alliances are no longer fraught with
consequences Of war and peace, of the rise
and fall of thrones, the modern Cophetua
may, if he likes, marry the irresistible beg
gar-maid. Dukes end dowagers will be
shocked; questions of. court etiquette and
precedence may become embarrassing the
base-born bride may he intentionally re-
minded, now and then, of the inevitable
turgidity of her blood but it may be hoped
that domestic felicity will, to some extent.
make up for the petty annoyances of blue
blooded Indignation. The sons of Argyll
in becoming tradesmen and the sons-in-law
of self-made men have taken courageous
course; who knows if theirs has not been
the first wedge which s to bring down the
old barriers of social prescription and ex~
cusveness and the beginning of new era
in British society,"
BUTTER FACTORIES Perhaps three fourths
of all the butter marketed might be made,
with proper care and system, worth twenty
per cent. more, and at actually less expense
this sort the butter-makers must do to com
pete with the artificial product. 1t can, in
our judgment, be accomplished by the farm
ers adopting some plan of cooperative but
termaking, as is done by cheese factories.
We do not say that the same plan may be
suited to every locality, but the principle
in some form, is applicable to every section.
Where the population is sufficiently Dense
the regular butter factory, taking the milk
directly from the farmer, may be adopted.
Where the difficulties Of transporting the
milk are too great to admit of this plan, the
farmers might churn their cream and carry
the raw bntter itself to a central factory to
be manipulated by some such method as is
proposed by the Dake process. by which all
the different grades of butter could be
thoroughly worked over, and a uniform
quality and color obtained. Factory butter,
like factory cheese, now commands an extra
price.-dm. Grocer.
