The Prince of Wales.
London Society.

In abiding to a few incidents in
the lives of the Prince of Wales, it
may be interesting to note, respecting
the birth of the first one, that, when
the messenger arrived at RAudian
Castle, where King Edward |. was
residing on political business, and
announced to him that his Queen had
given birth TO boy on the preceding
day, the 25th of April, 1894, at Car
narvou. Edward, in his joy, made a
Knight of the messenger, stuffed his
pouches with gold pieces, and gave
him house and lands to enable him to
support his new dignity becominglyp
Then follows the story, which every
school boy and girl knows, OF the
baby's presentation to the Welsh
chieftains, who vowed allegiance to
him aud accepted him as their Prince.
Some historians assert this TO have
been The occasion upon which Edward
was created Priace of Wales. On the
other hand, it is stated that 1.-THE
original letters patent by which he
was raised to the dignity Of Prince Of
Wales" bears the date of 1901. Be

Best success With Small Trees.

OAly occasionally, under favorable
circumstances, with the greatest care
and skill, are large trees successfully
removed, and the exceptional instances
are those in which the little feeding
roots-the only ones of much benefit
in sustaining life-are retained. But
a small. healthy tree may be dug
with all its roots undisturbed, so that
with care in handling when out of the
ground, and with due attention to
planting, we may reasonably expect
it TO grow vigorously, If not the first
season, assuredly the next. When
tree is debilitated from any cause,
especially by loss of the feeding roots,
it requires a long time to recover.
Even cutting off the tops to counter
balance loss of roots is only a partial
remedy, as nothing can fully compen
safe for the absence of these important
organs, During removal endeavor to
prevent the rapid evaporation which
is constantly taking place through
the branches. In large trees this is
so great that frequently all the sus-
tcnance is drawn from the roots be
fore the tree is planted. Wrapping
tops as well as roots in damp cloths.
when out OF the ground, and moisten

of value. Small specimens, having
so few obstacles to overcome, rarely

The Dance OF Death.
plzey winter in New York Graphic.


And now let us take the results of
two or three years of this confused and
exacting struggle. "The Dance of
Death, which we had given us few

and a sad one.

Teach the Colt to Walk Fast.

One experienced in the manage
ment of horses tells us that any colt
may be taught 10 be fast walker by
a little continued care in handling. A
fast walk in horse is the most valua-
Bile gait that training can acquire. 1t
is valuable ia . pillow horse, in team
horse, and particularly SO in a driving
horse. Some horses will trot along
very well until they come to ascend
ing ground, when you wish to relieve
him by letting him walk up grade.
He then falls into a slow. lazy walk.
that is very trying to the drivers pa
thence, bat a well-tfained walker will
step off briskly at the rate of four
miles an hour, and the driver feels
thathe has been detained but very little
by letting his horse walk up the hill
as he starts off at his usual trotting
speed, being relieved by the change
of walking up the hill. Colts should
be trained to walk fast before there is
an attempt made TO improve them in
any other gait. This may be accom~
phShed by commencing very young
and leading at a walk by your side,
urging additional speed little by little
without lethRg it break into trot;
but this must not be continued long
at time, so as to weary or tire. One
or two short lessons a day will soon
show a wonderful improvement, but
after lessons viii be required TO pre-

Grant and the Kentucky Ladies,

Merchants Exchange in 1875, when
President Grant was visiting the ST.

President asked her what they were.
She answered 1--WE have the fastest
horses, the prettlest women and the
finest whisky IN the world. The
President replied: "Your horses are
certainly justly renowned; | have
some on my farm near here; yourself
and party prove the correctness of
your second observation, but whisky
is one of the things that require age,
and your men consHme it SO fast that

ment with the following results: He

in the afternoon, and planting one
each hour until one O'clock in the
morning. Those transplanted during
the daylight shed their blossoms, pro
ducinC little or no fruit, while those
planted in the dark maintained their
condition fully. He did the same with
ten dwarf trees, after the fruit was
one third grown.
Those transplanted during the day
shed their fruit, those transplanted
during the night perfected their crop,
and showed no injury from having
been removed. With each of those
trees he removed some earth with the

experiments to test the value of corn

corn, in comparison with hay. He
found two pounds Of stock equal in

The corn yielded Fifty bushels Of

His experiments were in feeding the

When the Girls WOmld Miss Lots Of

New York Graphic

A famous woman suffragist asks:
''If women were milk cans would they
be promptly protected2' and answers
her question: "They would" That
may all be so, but it rs safe to say that
if women were milk cans they would
never be married; no young men
would ever buy them caramels or take
them to the opera. They would never
have silk dresses and new hats They
might secure considerable protection,
but they would miss lots of fun.
