Another Royal Pensioner.

Tomorrow Prince Albert Victor, of
Wales enters upon his twenty first year,
SO that it is possible that Parliament
may before very long have to consider
the question of a separate establishment
orhis royal highness In such case the
Legislature would be wholly unassFsted
by precedents directly in point. Never
vet in our history has the eldest son Of
q Prince of Wales come OF age during
his fathers lifetime and before his faith
er's accession to the throne. Frederic,
son of George H., who went nearest to
doing so, was twenty years and few
months old when, in 1927, the latter be-
came King. 1t would, however, be
misleading to compare the status of
Prince Albert Victor with that of his
ancestor, who never set foot on Eng,
land till year and half after he had
succeeded to the position ofheir-appar-
ent to the crown. Prince Frederic, in
deed received the garter in his fifteenth
year and peerage with the title OF the
Duke of Edinburgh in his twentieth;
but scarcely any other Official cogniz-
ance was taken of his existence as an
English Prince. No eldest son of
Prince of Wales. being such, has mar
ried; and there is only one instance of a
marriage being contracted by the
daughter of a Prince of Wales, Mutatis
plutandis, it is to be presumed that the
case of the Princess Charlotte would
have most weight with Parliament in
the event of its being applied to for q
provision for Prince Albert Victor. It
NAV be added that annuities have been
granted more than once in the present
reign to the children of younger son
of an English sovereign.-St. James
Gazette.

"A Massachusetts farmer who raises
asparagus extensively says that an APP
plication of salt is of no use whatever,
being only a practice that has been
handed down through several genera
tons. Perhaps the necessity for salt is
Iessened when asparagus is raised near
the sea, where the soil and atmosphere
are both impregnated with salt.

GettIng at the Exact Truth.

As a matter of fact. nobody ever
makes larger allowances for other peo-
pie, III the estimate of their yeraeity,
than the scientific inquirer. Knowing
himself, by painful experience, how ex-
tremely difficult matter it is to make
perfectly sure you have observed any
thing on earth quite correctly, and have
eliminated ali possible chances Of error,
he acquires the fixed habit of doubling
about one-half of what his fellow-creat-
ures tell him in ordinary conversation,
without for single moment ventllring
fu2ness. Children and servants, if they
find anything they have been told is
erroneous. Immediately jump at the con
clusion that the person who told them
meant deliberately to deceive them; in
their own simple and categorical fash
ion they answer plumply: That's a
lie" But the man Of science is only
too well acquainted in his own person
with the exceeding difficulty of ever
getting at the exact truth. He has
spent hours of toll, himself, in watch
ing and observing the behavior Of some
plant, or animal, or gas, or metal; and
after repeated experiments, carefully
designed to exclude oil possibility Of
mistake, so far as he can foresee it,
he at last believes he has really settled
some moot point, and triumphantly
publishes his final conclusions in sci
entifc journal. Ten to one, the very
next number of that same journal con-
tains dozen supercilious letters from
a dozen learned and high-salaried pro-
fessors, each pointing out q dozen dis
tinct and separate precautions which
the painstaking observer neglected to
take, and any one of which would be
quite sufficient to, Yitiate the whole
body of his observations. There might
have been germs in the tube in which
he boiled the water germs are very
fashionable just at presently, or some
Of the germs might have survived and
rather enjoyed the boiling; or they
might have adhered to the under sur
face of the cork; or the mixture might
have been tampered with during the
experimenter's temporary absence by.
his son, aged ten years Scientific OBJ
servers have no right, apparently, to
have sons of ten years old, except per-
haps Tor purposes of psychological re-
search; and SO forth, ad infnitum.
And the worst Of it I'LL is that the I'M
happy experimenter is bound himself to
admit that every one of the objections
is perfectly valid, and that he very like
ly never really saw what with perfect
confidence he thought and said he had
seen. CoT4oiilt Magazine.
