The Baby King.

On a dark December afternoon, when
the days were short and the winter at
its hardest, little wailing infant,
weakly from it's birth, though born
Prince of Wales and heir to the most
powerful of European Kingdoms, was
born in Windsor Castle in the year
1921: Henry, only child of Henry ",
the conqueror of the age, and grandson
of Henry w., one of the most wise of
English kings. He himself was not
destined to be either brave or wise or
fortunate. His mother. Katherine of
France, had been won at the sword s
point and the marriage was supposed
to give some claim of right to the SOW
ereignty of France, which Henry v.
had got by right of conquest before he
married her. What her own feelings
were about it, or whether she loved
her bold English husband and her fee.
bic English baby we'll enough to be
willing that her brother should be dis.
inherited for them, and her country
brought under a strangers rule, no
one knows-fOr it is always difficult to
make out what the poor woman felt
about it, who have to take a passive
place in history and say nothing about
what they are thinking. Anyhow,
poor Katherine, one would imagine,
must have been sad enough in those
dull wintry days at Windsor-her hus-
band far off in France, fighting against
her family and her people, and doing
all he could to crush out every germ of
freedom in the conquered country ;
for in those days, and even in orr days
a man may be very fond of freedom
for himself and for his own country,
who is quite ready to call the love of
liberty rebellion in other people.
Henry V. was a patriotic and popu.
lar monarch, doing everything he
could to enrich England and secure
her peace by running her neighbor, as
the most of us have lived to see an
other great nation do. BIT Henry did
not succeed, and hope the. other enc
He was far away In France. at his fav.
orite work of fighting. when he got
the news of his sons birth-his first
and only child. 1t seems that brave
Henry hadin him some touch of sup r
stition, as is not very unusual with
fighting men; and he did not wish his
child to be born at Windsor, no doubt
from some idea that it was unlucky or
unwholesome. When he heard where
the event had taken place, he turned
to his chamberlain, Lord Fitzhugh, and
gave vent to a dreary prophecy Il,
Henry, born at Monmouth, shall small
time reign and much GET said the
foreboding King, ''and Henry, born at
Windsor, shall long reign and all LOST
=, It as God wills, 80 be it, This was
Henry Wis welcome into this cold
and wintry world. And, after while
his mother went away to France, and
the baby was left solitary in the great
silent Castle; so great and powerful,
heir to two kingdoms, yet so feeble
and helpless and small. You cannot
fancy greater difference than there
was between this poor little atom, of
humanity and his position and if he
had died then in his cradle, or been
suffered to grow up among the grooms
in the stable, humble servant of the
Kings household, one cannot but

The poor little baby prince was but
eight months old when his father
died, and he in his swaddling clothes
became King of England and the first
time that history shows us glimpse
of him is in a strange, gorgeous scene
which took place in the September
after his birth, when procession OF
spendid noblemen in all their robes OF
state, bishops and archbishops, and
the great officials of the country. came
thronging into the castle to bring the
Great Seal of England. the highest en-

Waco (Texas) Examiner.
About two weeks ago an individual
appeared in the Childer's creek neigh.
borhood, in this county, who gave the
name of Tom Johnson, and claimed to
be the son of a prominent citizen of
Comanche county, but afterwards
proved to be a young woman in male
attire. She was in the neighborhood
several days before her sex was dis
covered, during which time she acted
the part of a fast young man to per.
lection. She associated freely with
young men, called on several young
ladies, and carried the part of beau
admirably. She proved herself an ex.
pert horseman, and an adept in the use
of the revolver and Spencer rifle. She
! attended 4 camp meeting which was
being conducted by Rev. Mr.. Melugen,
of this city, and Rev. Mr.. Harris, of
Childer's Creek, and on two occasions
went forward to the anxious seat and
asked for the prayers of the congrega-
ton, all the while representing herself
to be ''TOm johnson. from the old
mans stock rancho Oh the frontier. -
Her sprightliness and pleasant manner
attracted the attention of everybody,
and she was fast becoming popular

neighborhood, when by an unfortunate

From the Rural New Yorker.
It is well known that the specific
gravity of milk from different cows
varies, and this can be readily under
stood, since there is a great varience
in the quality of milk yielded by dif.
felent cows. But rather singular
feature in respect to milk is that re-.
corded by the well. known chemist, Mr..
j. A. Wanklin, member of the Royal
Bavarian Academy of Sciences. Wish.
ing to note the difference, if any, In
the specific gravity Of milk drawn
from different parts of the bag of the
same cow and at the same time, he Sc.
lected cows in a dairy that were we'll
cared for and fed on meal, clover and
other food calculated to give good
quality of milk. The milk was drawn
directly into the sample bottles from
each quarter of the udder, and on
carefully testing them to determine
the specific gravity, at temperature
of 600 Fahrenheit, the samples gave
the following Milk from the right
! side front quarter exhibited specific
gravity of lO2O.4, while the left side
front quarter gave milk having 4 spe.

NOn.Heading Cabbage.

Last autumn was mourning over
an unusual numbar of half.developed
cabbages, which were only fit to be fed
to the COWS, land mentioned TIE fact to a
Duchess county farmer, who is in
business in New York, and has lately
bought farm near us, asking if his
crop had turned out badly. Ills ans.
wer was that he had no more soft heads
than he waited, or to the effect
that he would feel disappointed if !n
had not a considerable number. Now
we, neither Of us, raise cabbages fol-
market, but fur our own consumption
mainly, and was utterly at a loss to
know what he could do with quarter
Of his crop which failed to make heads.
He told me that he dug a wide trench,
80 deep that after some top soil was
thrown in he could set the cabbages
could stand, and their heads would not
come up lever with the top of the
ground. When planted, he covers
the trench with boards and brush,
corn-stalk, salt hay, and earth
on the top, keeping it open at the ends
or elsewhere until cold weather, and
then covering it in close. He said
they would all have, solid heads in the
spring. tried it, and this spring we
are enjoying the best cabbages we
ever ate. They are rather small to be
marketable, say four and half to six
inches in diameter, solid and sound,
crisp and tender, as delicate as cauli-
flower, and what is most remarkable,
never know we are going to have
cabbage for dinner until l see it on
the table. The great objection I have
to this most wholesome and de.
icious vegetable is, that it usually fills
the house with it's detestable odor, so to
have cabbage without this drawback
IS worth all tho trouble it costs.

Usefulness Of Sparrows.

Now that the sparrows are begin.

parts of this country, and here and
there the opinion is expressed that in.
stead Of being useful they are very in
furious, in fact as bad, or worse, than
the worms they are intended to de.
stroy, we again raise our voice in their
favor, recalling the time when there
was, in the summer season, scarcely a

often attaching themselves to the
clothes of the passers.by, and thus
creating general disgust. This has all
passed away since the practical appli.
cation of one of the provisions in the
economy of nature that birds living
on insects are intended and may be
used to check their too large multiple
cation.
"Get all the sparrows you can pro
cure from neighboring countries, and
make as many holes as you can in the
walls of your houses and churches
each hole will become the temporary
abode of a pair of sparrows, and each
pair, to feed its offspring, will have tc
destroy thousands if insects, which
you cannot yourself put down. You
will raise the objection, that when har.
vest time comes, your fields will be
covered with sIarrows and the de.
struction of grain will be enormous
but this you can very easily avoid.
Young sparrows just before they are
able to leave the nest, are a delicious
meal. Visit the nest regularly, take
all the broods except the last one,
which will come after you have stored
your crops and will feed ON what has
escaped your notice; the loss will
therefore be scarcely perceptible. This
