The Prince of wales's Sons.

For so pretty woman the Princess
of Wales has the ugliest daughters and
one of the stupidest sons imaginable.
The oldest son of the Prince-the one
commonly known as Cuffs and Col
lars" because of his fancy for exces-
sively high collars and his inclination
for that remarkable action known as
shooting his cuffs-is as stupid as he is
ugly. The second son, Prince George,
is most delightful aud great favoriIe
among the English people. Very
earlyin life he displayed his independ-
ent spirit. One day the roval family
were at dinner, and the children were
brought in at dessert. Prince George
was then in petticoats. After they
had been made much of for a while
they were taken out, but suddenly the
nurse returned to say that Prince
George was missing; he couldn't be
found anywhere. 1t was suggested
that they look under the table, and
from out of it, at this hint, walked his
small Royal Highness, totally Invested
OF his clothing, his face smeared with
some fruit from stolen tarts, and about
him that air of conquest only possible
to baby boy. To him is credited the
advice given TO his stupid brother,
when it was necessary for him to fill
up the time, that he should Ego in

Lamps.

Oil has been burned in lamps for
many centuries, but no real improve
ment in oil lamps was made till about
100 years ago, or about 1888, when NJ.
Argand, Il Swiss who lived in London,
invented the cylindrical wick and burn
er, which has since borne his name.
Soon after the glass chimney was in
troduced and lighting by oil was fully
revolutionized. These two improve
ments multiplied the light TO be OBJ
tanned from II lamp and by producing
a perfect combustion of the oil, obviat1
ed the smoke aud bad odors previously
inseparable from the use of oil lamps.
Other improvements followed, one of
the most notable being the placing of
the reservoir of oil below the burner
instead of above, making the lamp
much more convenient. This was a
discovery of Philippe Giraud, a
Frenchman, about 1907. Another
Frenchman, Carcel. contrived IL me-
chanism to regulate the supply
of oil, but his cOntrivauce was
superseded by the moderator lamp, in
troduced about 60 years ago. Some
further notifications of lamps followed
the discovery of petroleum, but these
arc the principal features included in
the lamps of the present day. the Ar
gand principle being substantially un-
changed. Good HOuSekee6iJl0.

Duties of the Nurse.

The instinct of self-preservation-
one may as well call it by a high
sounding name-makes perfect vam-
pire of sick man. 1t is not altogether
watching, or care, or constant service.
or the keen sense of responsibility
which exhausts a nurse, nor all Of
them combined. 1t is the presence Of
the patients famished body, taking in
at every pore the nervous energy of

your hand. Send the full charge of
your, human battery along my veins
That is better than wine, better than
the broad, impersOnal warmth OF the
sun. 1t is the quickening of pulse by
pulse, the kindling of life by life.
Strange and unaccountable are physi-
cal influences, but more potent IN this
world than men are willing to own.
They are unheeded in the hurrying
crowd, where electricity passes con-
stantly with the jostling of elbows.
But the sensibilities of the insulted iu-
valid quiver like pith-balls when
brought into contact with positive aud
negative forces. Certain persons give

which is his carefully boarded treasure.
He rebels against proximity with one,
and clings like a frightened child to
another. To say the well and strong
are the attractive is not enough. Often
they repcl by those very Characters
ties. Goodness and virtue have little
to do with it and sympathy is but a
moderate factor. The feeling is almost
wholly unreasonable.-ScT $ Mug

Fond of JeweIry.

Because a man displays no iewelrv
upon his person it does not signify that
he doesn't care for such things" said
Editor R0thschild. of the Jeaoelers'
Weekly. the other day.
There are plenty of men who are as
passiOnately fond of Jewels as any
woman who ever lived, but they seem
to regard the feeling as a weakness
which they are half ashamed of. Some
men will own right up, but they don't
like to display their treasures, because
it is not considered good taste to wear
much jewelry.
81 know half a dozen business men
and professional men who do not
wear so much as even watch chain;
yet they carry about in their trousers
packets thousands of dollars worth of
unset jewels. This is a little out Of
the ordinary, but it is fact neyerthe-
less.
The late Henry Ward Beecher used
to carry in his pockets a number of
beautiful diamonds, pearls and pre-
cious stones, which he would some
times take out in his hand and gaze at
in admiration for several minutes at q
time. He explained this habit by say
IL luAb tHCLO SOLlcLHAuG SD pure
aud beautiful about the gems that
they delighted and fascinated him. He
used to say that it was one of the
traces of our far-back barbarian origin
the innate fondness for bright gems.
81 know of a physician uptown
who. while riding about in his carriage
on sick calls, entertainS himself byE
jingling lot of unsetdiamonds, rubies
and emeralds in his hands. He some
times groups them on the seat opposite
and looks at them. while his face is
lit up with admiration and pleasure.
do ladies have this habit? Well,
think not. | never met a woman who
cared TO hide her jewels in her pockets.
On the contrary. they always like to
have them set and displayed as con-
spicuously as possible. They don't be-
lieve in hiding the light of their gems
under a bushcl."

Soap Mines.

John Van Valkenberg, of Owens
lake, California, arrived in the city
yesterday. says the San Francieo Er-
dnltner.
1--WE are about to begin the working
of an extensive natural soap mine on
Owens lake." said he to an Eranaiper
representative. 1T sounds odd to
most people to hear of soap mines. In
fact, they almost to man doubt that
there are such things. Nevertheless.
there are extensive banks of soap on
the margins of both Owens and Mono
lakes.
1.-The soap is made from grubs which
breed in the waters of the lakes and
eventually become flies. Now, in all
this water there Is a solution of borax
and soda, and this, with the alkali, has
its effects in soapmaking. The flies
drift ashore and cover the ground and
edges of the water to the depth of a
foot or more.
"The oily substance of the flies
blends with the borax and soda, and
the result is a layer of pure soap.
These strata, repeated from year, to
year form the soap mines, and these are
now what are going to be worked with
large forces of men.
There is another queer thing
about the waters of these lakes. You
shoot duck there, and fail to get it,
and in a little while, when it drifts
ashore, YOU find that its fat breast and
sides have changed to elegant toilet
soap, and you can chip it off and use
il, and it is Just as nice as any refined
soap you ever saw.
'.The spoOnbill duck up there feeds
upon this grub and gets very fat. 1t
is so tainted with it that it is eaten by
/ nobody hut Indians, white men killing
! it oul, f II IFS oil.
i THUS, are Inc kind of ducks that
are Oftenest transformed into this
fine soap. Many of them are shot on
! the water that are not rescued unit:
they drift ashore, when they are about
, half soap. The feathers are found Il
be almost all eaten of by the alkali
and the bird is generally So transformed
that you would hardly know it at first
Where coal oil and bOrlN and sod;
can be found you usually find snal
mines, and if You find coal oil near
hot spring, which has alkali aud soda
say, you will get better quality u
soap than i'm any other way. Th,
heat of the water tends to purify th'
soap.
There are several natural soal
mines in Wyoming and Dakota. W
are looking forward to the production
of many lnnS of soap each month frUn
Mono and Owens lakes.

ool. wintersmith Tells Snake Story.

Col Dick Wintersmith listened with
apparent good-natured disgust to some
of the snake stories which the young
sters were trying to crowd down his
throat the other evening at Chamber
lain's, says the Dallas Meas. AS yarn
after yarn was unwound by the enter
prising narrators the colonel seemed
to get restless, until finally he broke

That's all right. boys, but the

they are not"
"Well, suppose you tell us one that

II will" said the colonel promptly.
And then ..Dick' told how he had
found himself travelling one hot after

Suddenly his pony stopped. and he was
, nearly thrown over the animals head.
II got off," Col. Wintersmith went on
; to say, land looked about to see what
the trouble was, and soon found, about

across the roadway, his head down the
slope on one side and his tail in the
gutter on the other | tried TO make
the pony jump the snake. but he
wouldn't bulge. There wasn't stone
