a FUTURE KlNG.-The English people
have but just awakened to the fact that
the elder of the two sons of the Prince Oi
Wales is a probable heir to the throne, and
/ that he is, rs such, an interesting person
At the same time they remember, with a
mixture of amusement and amazement,
that they almost nothing about him. In
fact, they are rather puzzled, when it is
necessary to speak of him, TO know how
he is to be called. He is, in full, Prince
Albert Victor Christian Edward. He used
to be styled Prince Albert Victor of Wales.
Popularity he has been known as Prince
Victor. When he was studying on board
the Britannia he was called Prince Ed
ward. Out of the abundance of titles it is
not easy to make choice, and the British
public seems to be as much "at sea-"
metaphorically us the prince now is liter
ally, In attempting TO discover anything
interesting or gossipy about one who, if
re lives long enough, will be the ruler of
vast empire. The Prince was born at
Frogmore Lodge, Windsor, on the Sth of
January, 1864, and has therefore nearly
completed his sixteenth year. He was
born and has lived, that is all the Eng
lish people know abont him. Occasion
ally he has accompanied his parents in
their travels here and there, and his foa-
lures have excited some mild interest in
the family photographs. But, in general,
his history and his person are unknown,
and his life has been almost us obscure AS
that of any boy in the kingdom.
What has now drawn attention TO him
is his sailing in company with his brother,
whom all English folks know rs Prince
George of Wales, on voyage round the
world. The two princes have been train
cd on board the Britannia, and now they
go as cadet midshipmen on the ship Bac-
chante, which sailed from Portsmouth
harbor on the 18th of September, and pro-
ceed TO Portland, where after a week
spent in drill, the ship was to depart for
short cruise in the Mediterranean, and to
pass the winter in the West Indies. OF
course. Il very little will be heard from
the young princes while they are absent
on this voyage, and they will return
year or two hence tall striplings, one of
them just coming into manhood. AS they
are the only sons of the Prince of Wales,
the succession would pass, in case CT their
death, to the daughters, and once again
the British throne would be occupied by
woman. .--Frone The Boston AduertiSer.

"SoMEBoDY LOVES ME."-Two or three
years ago the superintendent of the little
wanderers home, in R, received one
morning, request from the Judge that he
would come to the Court House. He
complied directly,and found there a group
of seven little girls, ragged, dirty and
forlorn, beyond what even he was accus-
toned to see. The judge, pointing to them
(utterly homeless and friendless), said:
"Mr. T-,can you take any of these?"
Certainly can take them ALL" was
the prompt reply.
"All! What in the world can you do
with them?"
"Tll make women of themw
The Judge singled out one, even worse
in appearance than the rest, and asked
again:
"What will you DO with that one?'
"Tll make q woman of her," Mr.. T
repeated, firmly and hopefully.
They were washed and dressed and
provided with IL supper and beds. The
next morning they went into the school
room with the children. Mary was the
name of the little girl whose chance for
better things the judge thought small.
During the forenoon the teacher said to
Mr.. r in reference to her her:
never saw child like that. l have
tried for an hour to get smile and have
failed"
Mr.. T said afterward, himself that
her face was the saddest he had ever seen
-sorrowful beyond expression; yet she
was very little girl, only five or six
years old.
after school he called her into his
office and said pleasantly:
MARY | have lost my little pet.
used to have little girl here that would
loved her very much. A kind lady and
gentleman have adopted her, and should
like for you to take her place, and be my
pet now. Will you?"
A gleam of light fitted over the poor
chlds face, and she began to understand
him. He gave her ten cents and told her
she might go to store near by and get
some candy. While she was out he took
two or three newspapers, tore them in
pieces and scattered them about the room.
When she returned he said:
Mary, will you clear up my Office q
little for me, and pick up the paper and
see how nice you can make it lookP"
She went to work with a will A little
more, of this kind of management-in fact
treating her as a kind father would
wrought the desired result. She went
into the school room after dinner with
SO changed n look and bearing that the
teacher was astonished. The child's face
was absolutely radiant. She went to her
and said
MARY, what is it? What makes you
look SO happy?"
ooh, I've got some one to love me-"
the child answered earnestly, as if it were
Heaven come down to earth.
That was all the secret. For want of
love that little ones life had been so cold
and desolate that she had lost childhood's
beautiful faith and hope. She could not
at first believe in the reality of kindness
or Joy for her. 1t was the certainty that
some one had loved her and desired affec-
ton that lighted the child's soul and
glorilied her face.
Mary has since been adopted by wealthy
people and lives in beautiful house; but
more than all its beauty and comfort,
running like golden thread through it
all, she still finds the love of her adopted
father and molher.-Phiiadclpbia Price

CHEAP EXCURsIoNs.-Th booa of cheap
granted by railway managers enables
many persons to go abroad and see places
and sights which otherwise would be to
them as closed book. In the past the
cheap excursion has been altogether too
unfrequent a thing, and it is pleasing 10
notice evidences of improvement in this
regard. Our own Grand Trunk Railway
has done considerable in this way of late,
but it could be even more liberal and still
make money by it. The Vermont Rail
ways have been offering wonders in the
way of inducing the inhabitants of the
Green Mountain State to travel this season.
The Passumpsic carried hundreds of peo-
pie on several occasions from White Riv-
or junction to Lake Magog and back for
$3.50, the distance covered being about
200 miles. The managers Of the Central
Vermont, however, seem to have been
taxing their ingenuity to discover how
cheap a trip they can get up. Excursion
has followed excursion from every mag
Unable point to every other and at all kinds
of prices. But the climax has been
reached in an excursion to Montreal from
all points along the line from Bellows
Falls up, at proportionate prices, accord
ing to distance. An idea of the cheapness
of the trip may be had in the fare from
West Hartford to Montreal and return, a
distance to be covered of about 400 miles,
for $3.50. The tickets are good for five
days and to reture by any regular train.
That the people who seldom travel ap-
preciate the liberality of the managers of
the road ,abundantly manifest by the num-
ber of our Verment cousins who throng
our streets to.day.-MontreaL Daily Star.

NINELAND, IN, D., OCJ. 4, lSiJ.
Vneland is level country; no hill,
can be seen. The soil is sandy and gray

would be II failure here. Fruit farms are
numerous; and, as one rides through the
country in the vicinity, pear and peach
orchards and vineyards indicate the lead
ing farm industries.
This is a comparatively new place, for
eighteen years ago there was scarce q
settlement in the place. Chas. X. Lands
is considered the founder of the place, and
the main business avenue bears his name
This avenue extends east and west, in q
Straight line, ten miles; and nearly equally
divides the city proper, which is laid oui
upon plat Ii mile square, nine streets
running north and south, and twelve east
and west. Upon each Of the corners ol
the mile plat is school house, while in
the center is the excellent new brick high
school building.
There are many fine residences, with
grounds tastefully laid out and with flower
gardens, hedges and shade trees. The
streets are abundantly lined with fruit
and shade trees, so an observatory view
gives the residential portion of the city a
beautiful, sylvan appearance.

ONLY MoTuER.-The meeting of Mrs.
Grant and her son Ulyssus in the harbor
of San Francisco is thus pleasantly des-
cribed by the Sa Francisco Chronicle
The party on board the tugboat stood
under the awning aft, and when the steps
were finally adjusted there was moment
of respectful waiting us Ulyssus Grant,
Jr., came forward and mounted them.
From the time when the Toxic was des-
cried he had stood in the wheel house
with field glass in hand, with which he
eagerly watched the steamer, ostensibly
for the general, but in reality, as every
one on board knew who watched his face,
to see the mother, whom he parted with
two years and a half ago, and had con-
versed with since only by letter. Long
before the Toxic came alongside he des-
cried her on the bridge, and waved his
handkerchief as greeting, She stood also
with glass in hand, scanning the tug, but
mt first did not see him. When she did
she waved the handkerchief for moment,
but she could not wave it long, for it went
up to her eyes and staid there despite the
efforts that the mothers hand made to
wave it against the mothers tears of Joy
that made the meeting of her son the
central and sole picture in all the grand
scene. The Millen Griffith slowly drifted
toward the iron hulk, beside which it
seemed so insignificant, Before the steps
could be adjusted young Grant mounted
them-the first man up-and hastily ran
to the gangway, where Col. Fred waited
to meet him. Arm in arm they passed
along the deck, reached the stairs, and
hastily traversed the bridge. The general
was passed with a hasty and affeclionate
salutation of d" father," but the mother,
who stood behind, received kiss that
somehow is the same from palace to hut,
and an embrace that told that while she
might be Mrs. Gen. Grant to all the wait
ing world of America. she was only
'mother" to the son who met her after an
absence of years.

CURE FOR BoILs.-Dr Simon, ply
sician of Lorraine, states that as soon as
the characteristic eliminating point of a
boil makes its appearance, he puts in a
saucer thimbleful of camphorated alco.
hol. and dipping the ends of his fingers
into the liquid, rubs the inflamed surface,
especially the central portion, repeating
the operation eight or ten times, continuing
the rubbing at each time for about half a
minute. He then allows the surface to
dry, placing slight coating of campho-
rated olive oil over the inaamed surface.
He states that one such application will,
in most all cases, cause boils to dry up and
disappear. The application should be
made morning, noon and in the evening
He AYERS that the same treatment will cure
whitlows, and all injuries of the tips of
the fingers. AS soon as pain aud redness
appear, the fingers should be soaked for
ten minutes in camphorated sweet oil.
The relief is said to be immediate, and
three applications are generally enoug gh to
effect cure.-Od Paper.

Too Much READING.--There can be no
doubt that too much reading leaves man
no tune for thought. The artist does not
study colors and drawing all his life, and
never paint. He is taught how to start,
and then learns how to paint by painting.
The artisan doesn't spend lifetime in
training his eye and hand. and Accumulate
ing muscle; he gets his tools and goes to
work. That part of the intellectual work.
mans education which comes from read
ing is to teach him how to use bis tools,
that is, his mental faculties. 1t wings his
imagination; it tames his fancy; it en-. &.
lightens his judgment; it arms his reason !;
it enriches his memory. And when his
mind is thus developed and equipped. it is
as ready for beginning its life-work as the
blacksmith S arm is when he gets strength
and skill to WELD the hammer, Too many
students make of the world gymnasium
instead of workshop; they are forever
getting strength, but never using 1t to any
purpose except to try and get more

The Oldest specimen of pure glass bear
ing anything like a date is little nodded
lions head bearing the name of an Eevp-
tian king of the eleventh dynasty, in the
Slade collection ut The British Museum.
That is to say, at II period which may be
moderately placed as more than 200O year
B. c., glass was not only made, but made
with skill which shows that the art was
nothing new. The invention of glazing
pottery with a finn or varnish of glass is
so old that among the fragments which
bear inscriptions of the early Egyptian
monarchy are beads possibly of the first
dynasty. OF later glass there are numer-
GUS examples, such us bead found at
Thebes, which has the name of Queen Ha.
tasoo, or Hashep, of the eighteenth dv-
nasty. OF the same period are vases and
goblets and many fragments.
1t cannot be doubted that the story pre-
pared by Pliny which assigns the credit of
the invention TO the Phenicians is so far
true that these adventurous merchants
brought specimens to other countries from
Egypt. That the modern art of the glass
blower was known long before is certain
from representations among the pictures
on the walls of II tomb at Bcni Hassan, of
the twelfth Egyptian dynasty; but much
older picture is among the half obliterated
scenes in chamber of the tomb of Thy at
Sakkara, and dates from the time of the
fifth dynasty, a time so remote that it is
not possible, in spite of the assiduous re-
searches of many Egyptologers, to give it
date in years.-Ihe SATURDAY ReUie0a.

in which they were growing was very
low. When the water is higher we pull
them with potato hook. put in the

covered all with layer of coarse sand or
gravel just to keep the muck quiet when
the water is disturbed. Then fill the tub
