valet. Should Sandown, or a little
luncheon " somewhere " with Charley
Beresford, be down in the days bill of
fare, the latest thing in wonderful
chessboard checks is called for, but
whatever suit is offered to him, the
prince is sure to reject it if it has been
worn five times before. His royal high
ness never wears pair of trousers
more than six times. As soon as he is
arrayed in purple and fine linen the
prince has Sir Francis Knollys in, and
over the first cigar of the day instructs
him as to the proper treatment of the
pile of opened letters. Then he makes
his way to his wife's morning room,
where he is sure to find the princess in
the daintiest of morning toilets hard at
work on " crewels," with two of her
daughters making wonderful garments
for the Sandringham poor, while the
third little maid is reading aloud either
from the Times or Morning Post. The
papers and the crewel work are both
laid aside when the prince enters, and
when his youngest daughter has brought
him the weight-carryingest chair in the
room half an hours chat follows.
During the season this is all the home
life the Marlborough House people have
together. Unless he has dinner party
at home or some function to attend
which entails the presence of his wife
and daughters, the prince sees them no
more till next morning.

Home Life of the Prince of Wales.

At Sandringham the prince break
fasts with his wife and daughter, but at
Marlborough House his habits are less
regular, and as often as not his first
meal consists of sardines on toast, with
a cup of coffee, or on occasion-tell it
not in Gath-a brandy and soda. This
small and early" is partaken of in the
ARREST of costumes, before the dressing
room fire, and during its progress his
royal highness sorts and reads his let
tiers. Half the arrangements for the
Colinderies were made or sanctioned
in that cosy little room looking out on
the Mall between the nibbles and sips
of the princes breakfast The next
business-always an important item
with the Prince of Wales-is the choice
of the suit of clothes he means to wear,
and the selection is to him matter of
much care. 1t depends, of course, on
the programme for the day If his
diary tells him that he has to open a
hospital or attend " heavy" meeting
of learned professors, or run down to
Windsor to see mamma" as he still
calls her most gracious majesty, the
black frock coat, with the silk facings,
with pair of quiet unmentionables to
follow, is the order given to his trusty

Decoration and Vulgarity.

The sense for color of the army of
amateur decorators has gained wonder
fully within few years. But this i'm
provement in color of our painted dec
orations, of our stained glass, of the
work of our societies of decorative art,
makes their shortcoming in other re-
spects the more conspicuous. There is
tinge of the barbaric in it. 1t wakes
the kind of admiring dissatisfaction
with which one always sees art that sup
plements conspicuous beauties with
conspicuous defects. When we 90 be-
low the best of it, and look at the
things which fill the common shops and
attract cheap buyers, we are disheart'
ened and long to barter the gaudy ugli-
ness of our day for the quiet ugliness
of our fathers. OF course the present
condition of things will not last. AS
color becomes popular it also becomes
vulgar in any people which has not q
hereditary instinct for it.-William p
p. Lonqello,c, IN Scribner'S Magazine.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-05-09

There is a girl-and | love to think of
her and talk of her-who comes in late
when they have company, who wears a
pretty little air of mingled responsible
ity and anxiety with her youth, whom
the others seem to depend on and look
to for many comforts. She is the girl
who helps her mother. In her own
home she is a blessed little saint and
comforter. She takes unfinished tasks
from the tired, stiff fingers that falter at
their work; her strong, young figure is
staff upon which the gray-haired,
white-faced mother leans and is rested.
She helps mother with the spring sew
ing, with the weeks mending, with a
cheerful conversation and congenial
companionship that some girls do not
think worth while wasting on only
mother" And when there comes day
that she must bend, as girls must often
bend, over the old, WORKOUT body of
mother lying unheeded in her coffin,
rough hands folded, something very
sweet will be mingled with her loss,
and the girl who helped her mother
will find benediction of peace upon
her head and in her heart.-Ne,C Or

The Founder of Girard College.

Stephen Girard was a remarkable
man, and one who certainly holds a
place among the prominent men of
America He was the son of dis
tinguished naval officer, and was born
in Bordeaux, France, in the year 1850.
In IVA he sailed for New York, and
in 177G first arrived in Philadelphia.
In the latter place he was very success
full in all his ventures, and so the
Quaker city became his home. Girard
was man who would not brook DISC
bedience. He sent young supercargo
to the Dead Sea in charge of cargo,
with orders to sell it at port which he
named. The enterprising young man,
finding he could make $4,000 more by
selling his cargo at another port, did
so, expecting to please his master by
his business capability, and proudly
handed Mr.. Girard the extra thousands.
But the Frenchman, so far from show
ing delight, informed the officer that
this disobedience would compel him to
dispense with his services in future.
In 1888 the yellow fever broke out in
Philadelphia. There were four thou
sand thirty-one deaths in the city
from the LIST TO August to the 9th of
November. Here the nobility of Girard
was shown, for when many of the rich
fled he remained and performed most
humble and self-sacrificing offices for
the sick and the dying, devoting many
hours every day to nursing in the hos
pital. In Mr.. Ingram's Life of
Girard " is quoted an extract from the
United States Gazette of 1882, in which
a merchant records that he saw a car
riage drive up to house during the
pestilence. A short, thick-set man
stepped from the coach and entered
the house," and on emerging from it
Ibis arm was around the waist of a
sick man, whose yellow face rested
upon his shoulder, as he carried the in
valid, and the sick mans feet were
dragging helpless along the pavement"
He was driven to the hospital in the
carriage of the man whom Philadelphia
looked upon with dislike. A few years
later Girard opened bank bearing his
own name. We learn from Ingram
that during the war of 1912 g Girard's
bank was the very right hand of the ma
tional credit, for when other banks
were contracting it was Girard who
stayed the panic by timely and liberal
eXpansion-and frequent were the calls
made upon him by the government for
temporary loans, which calls were in
variably responded to Immediately
In 1914 Girard risked his whole for
tune at time when all the prominent
capitalists held back and failed the gov.
eminent in its time of need Girard
was warm friend of Joseph Bona
parte, the brother of Napoleon |. They
dined together very often in the mer
chants quiet home in Philadelphia,
Prince Murat and Baron LallemanC
were also intimate with Girard, who
had few friends among the natives OF
the country of his adoption. When he
died, in 1881, at the age of eighty-one
the city gave him public funeral
Flags were hung at half-mast and {

Odd Manners in Cuba.

Two other incidents illustrating So

third time. This was followed by a

universal Cuban custom, and in its mo-

universal German custom, when one

by responding with the unctuous and
expressive " GeSundheitp' Again, a

the fair senora's fan moved little more

that matter, anything at all about it,

common occurrence upon the street

sociological excuse for it is that beauty

A Mothers Calendar.

I-sPRGNG.
New life is stirring in every bough,
And nutter of wings is in the air,
And my eyes with happy tears are dim,
As watch, in the tall old trees cleft limb,
A busy motherbird that there
Fashions her nest of moss and hair.
The days go by, and the leaves grow green
on the tall old tree where the nest is made;
The mother-bird folds her tireless wings,
And my heart, as watch her, sings and sings
Its happy song, and is not afraid,
For the sweetest joy is Joy delayed.

The patient broodng days are DER
There's stir of life in the soft brown nest,
And share It, too the mothers joy,
When my weak arms hold my tiny boy
And gather him closely to my breast,
When he softly murmurs and sinks to rest.

How fair they are in these sunny days!
New cares may come and fresh demands
on the weary heart and the feeble hands,
But strength comes. too, and song of praise
Goes up with the birds sweet morning lays.

The leaves are dying and turning brown,
The red sun peers through the morning mist
And a mist clouds over my boys blue eyes,
That once were clear as the summer skies.

And the fever flush on the cheek kissed!
outside in the tree, mid the falling leaves,
The mother has taught her brood to fyi
They must flee away to warmer cline,
From the coming chill of the winter-time
The thought holds back my heart-sick cry,
How can live if my boy must die?'

When the eddying snow-hakes round it sweep
And they fall, know, on tiny mound
In corner nook of the church-y yard ground,
Where my baby lies in his last long sleep.
And away to my quiet room creep,
For the heart will ache, and be numb and cold
Frozen by grief, like earth's hard clay,
Though our Father careth and knoweth best
When each bird must fly from its mothers nest
And we know they singing far away,
