IT is authoritatively announced that
Princess Victoria of Wales is engaged
to the hereditary prince of Hohenlohe-
Langenburg, Prince Ernest, born in
September, 1868, lieutenant of dra-
goons in the Prussian army. He is
the only son of the prince of Hohen-
lohe-Langenburg, and his mother is a
daughter Of the late prince OF Lem
ingen, so he is nearly related on both
sides to the English Royal family,
through the Duchess OF Kent, and he
is first cousin Of the German empress.
His family is not very wealthy, but he
possesses large estates in Wurtemburg
and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. His princi-
pal residence is in the schloss of Lang
euburg in Wurtemburg.

ROBERT T. LINCOLN, the new Amer
lean minister" says the London Star,
possesses a good many advantages
over his predecessors. He is more the
typical American. Coming from the
west, he brings with him its warm cor
diality and heartiness of manner. He
is rather tall man, with brown hair
and blue eyes. His face expresses
much earnestness and honesty, and he
has a low, agreeable voice in CONVEX
sation. Mr.. Lincoln will be ably as
sisted in his social duties by Mrs. Lin
coin, who has had large experience
socially, and is both charming and full
of tact in her manners. Every one is
delighted at the idea Of young lady
in the American minister's household.
Miss Mary Lincoln is very pretty, with
a strong individuality Of her own. She
has the pale, smooth American COM
plexion; quantity Of silver-gold hair
that soft, light hair of pale gold, with
the high lights all in silver. Her eye
brows are dark and piquantly arched,
and she has a charming smile. Then
she dresses like French woman; SO
the chances are that next season Miss
Lincoln will be an acknowledged belle,
and the American embassy gayer than
it has been for years"

CHARACTERISTICS OF WOOL.
Facts OF Interest 60 Every Farmer who
Raises Sheep.

Primarily the term wool Is applied to
the fine hair or fleece Of animals, and to
iino vegetable fihcrs, such as cotton. But
wool IS not hair, nor is hair wool Hair
is straight, crisp and hard. Wool is soft
ana wavv. Placed under n lens of high
m@Gnifying power, each fiber of wool
has the appearance of a continuous stem,
showing along its margin minute ecrra-
tons, like teeth of IN extremely fine
saw, continuing around the entire fiber
and pointing ii the direction from the
root towards the free extremity. 1t is
further observed that the ibers in their
growth have all permanently acquired n
form more OF less spiral, like that Of Il
CcrhsCrow. The contorted form of the
fibcrs disposc3 them to intcrlacc or lock
on TO each other, and the serrations
when they are brought close together in
ance to slipping and separation that is
Indispensable TO the strength OF the
fabric.
Wool is graded as superfnc, fine, me-
dunn and coarse. In grading, the actual
character and iineness OF the fibre de-
termines the grade, and custom has
brought the grades to nearly uniform
standards cast and west. Y, NX and
