So the child who was to have bean such
great things never had any title Or empire or
fortune or anything else. He was kind of
harger on at the court of his grandfather, and
nobody cared much for him or showed him
any particular respect. He who had been 80
beautiful child became a pale, serious
youth, with not very good health He
was melancholy, rather. He could not
forget he was the great Napoleon's
son, and that he was quite helpless to do any
thing worthy of the name. He did not know
what to do with himself, and that, perhaps,
was the reason he did not live long He said
Of himself once: My birth and my death
that is my whole history One would think,
with all the work there is to do in the world,
that he might have found some way to be OF
use, but he did not. He died at Schonbrunn,
one of the Austrian royal palaces, near
Vienna, when he was 21. Nobody seemed to
care.

Medically considered there can be no doubt
that, while we cannot expect its health i'm
parting properties to cure all the ills that
flesh is heir to, yet its action upon the system
Is attended with beneficial results, since
analysts and members of the medical pro-
feSsion have said that the fruit is exceedingly
wholesome, and used freely, either raw Or
cooked, must of necessity do vast amount
of good Besides all this it is admitted that
it does act in a stimulating manner upon the
liver, and if for no other reason than this it
becomes invaluable as an article of diet, and
especially so in hot seasons when the liver Is
more inclined to become sluggish. Another
point while in this line of thought which
should not be overlooked is this, it is easy,
very easy, of digestion, and may therefore be
freely partasen of even by invalids without
hindrance or fear.

great interest materially centers now i'll the

quantities sufficient to produce miniature

Sow spinach for next springs use and weed
that already up. Sweet potatoes should be
dug as soon as frost touches the leaves; handle
carefully that they may not be bruised or cut;
when dry, place in barrels and store in
warm place. Sow grass on winter grain and
brush in. Timothy is almost universally
sown. Try orchard and rye grass, each by
itself, sowing clover in the spring. Rye or
dinarily is sown later than wheat. 1t does
not matter much, but its season is longer and
the plant is stronger. 1t Will make a crop on

The New Flowing sleeve.

The new open sleeves reach just below the
elbow, fit easily at the top, have but one seam
that inside the arm, and slope open to about
three-eighths of a yard in width at the lower
end. The upper half is gathered in to the
under side about the elbow, giving diagonal
effect when stripes are used For striped
sleeves, as in the dress just described, velvet
ruffle about four inches wide is shaped to trim
the edge, and is lined with the striped silk.
The lining or facing of such sleeves is an i'm
portant part, as it shows plainly next the arm
and is always made of one of the materials of
the dress; for instance, green velvet dinner
dress has pointed flowing sleeves without a
ruffle, but faced deeply with old rose brocaded
satin on which are green velvet leaves. Lace
ruffies appear again in such sleeves, made of
point desprit or of Alencon or Valenciennes
lace four or five inches deep, and this lace
alone covers the upper part Of the wrists,
where the sleeve is sloped shorter to make a
pointed effect below.

The Preparation of Sealskins.
Few people who see a sealskin sacque
or wear one have any knowledge of the
process by which it is put on the market
in its perfected beauty. / was talking
with Lewis Lewis, of Vancouver's Island,
about the seal industry, and he gave me
some points about the preparation of the
skins for use in wearing apparel When
first taken from the animal they little re-
semble the warm, glossy and uniform
surface which they present upon the
streets Of the great cities in winter time.
Until they are dyed and cured the skins
are of a light brown color and generally
full of sand. In the process of making
them valuable the fleshy side is pared
down until it is no thicker than paper.
The long hairs are then pulled ont and
the fur is dyed. The cost of the article
consists principally in the labor that is
expended on the skin. The dying and
finishing are all done in London and have
never bean attempted in this country
with complete success.-New York Tri-
bune.

fringe and wide border of contrasting color
to the main part of the shawl, as gray on
blue, red, or black, and this border forms the
trimming. For instance, the corsage is made
with a surplice drapery from the right
shoulder to the left side of the waist, and the
border forms this fulness; two rows Of the
border are down the fronts of the long
drapery, with the fringe dropping between,
and another border extends up the back in
the Bedouin drapery which hooks on the cor
sage back. Velvet collar and deep velvet

THE MELANCHOLY STORY OF A
GREAT EMPeRoR'S SON.

Two Little victims of a BaId-Headed
Mans Joke-The Pretty Boy who was
to he, but Never Was, Emperor Napo-
leon II.
Napoleon the great thought if he had
only son to rule after him that he would
found a mighty empire that would be ruled
over by the Bonaparte family for ages.
There would be a Napoleon I, Napoleon ii,
Napoleon III, Napoleon ", and so on until
perhaps there would be as many as there had
been King Louises in France, as many as six
teen and more.
At length in the year 1911 a son was born
to the EmpEss Maria Louisa, Napoleons
wife. Then NE soldier emperor thought he
was very happy. But suddenly wars broke
out again. His empire had been built by
war and by war it fell to pieces. 1t melted
away like fairy frost figures. The little
prince was called, for title, the king of
Rome. When he was year old his father
set out with a great army to fight Russia
Then the empress had the little boys portrait
painted. He was a very beautiful child, as
you see by the picture here. 1t was made by
famous French painter named Gerard.
The beautiful portrait had painted upon it
the decorations, ribbons and stars that indi-
Gated the titles the great emperor meant for
his son. 1t looked odd tn see such things
upon baby year old The likeness was
sent to Napoleon, and he got it just before a
battle He tenderly loved the child, who, in
deed, seems to be the only creature he ever
did care much for.
But the warrior star went down. When
the king of Rome was years old it sunk to
rise no more. Napoleon became an exile at
st. Helena. The empress went back to her
father, the emperor of Austria, taking her
son with her, and his father never saw him
any more. In Austria the boy who was to in
herit a great crown, and be the emperor
Napoleon ii, was not even allowed 70 keep his
own name. He had been called after his
father, but the Austrian ruler hated the name
of Napoleon Bonaparte so much that he never
allowed it to be mentioned To the boy was
given the name of Franz Won Reichstadt

Wherever there is small natural body of
water, it can be utilized. A pond 100 by 50
feet will be large enough to supply family.
though one of an acre or two will enable the
owner to sell fish. Let willows fringe the
banks and pond lilies grow in the waters.
1t can be made in pretty ornamental shapes,
round, oval or Maltese cross pattern. A run
ming stream or swampy ground at the foot of
hills can also be utilized for fish pond.
The illustration shows a pond of very sim
pie construction. In making it, a writer in The
Southern Cultivator says that he simply built
dam as high as he wanted it, and saw how
far the water would back Next, he writes:
Il then went far enough above and started a
ditch to take all the water from around the
pond, except enough to supply the pond and
keep a small stream running off. In the
figure d is the dam; A is water way with a
wire gauze across it TO keep in the fish; B
Is ditch running above the head of the
pond; e is the feed pipe which may be opened
or closed at will With this arrangement
high water never affects the pond.
Fish eat up "wigglers,r and so keep of
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and malaria are said
always to exist together, and it is quite pos
sible the carp will also eat the vegetable
germs which are believed to produce malaria
The ponds must have an outlet and an inlet.
The outlet should have across the mouth
some kind of perforated covering, to prevent
the escape af the fish. Wire cloth screens are
recommended in carp ponds" Mr.. Smiley
uses three Of these, of different fineness, placed
at intervals The water must be drawn off
once or twice a year to get out rubbish,
snakes and outsiders destructive to carp.
Ice ponds may he well utilized for fish.
Ponds should be not less than three feet in
depth in their deepest part, says the govern
ment report, and they should gradually lessen
to depth of one or two inches, to provide
the shoals required for spawning. Small
knolls and islands should be removed, as they
generally afford harbor for the enemies Of
carp.

And said May, How wish that we couldT'
And old Mr.. Spring, who was fond Of joke,

Just see my poor head; it's as bald as your hand
Come, why can't you give me your curlss"

But the two little darlings did not.
