Queen Victoria'a Family Name.

A friend the other day asked me if l

"Why, Guelph, of course" ooh,
no." answered my friend, "not at ALL.
While the members of Queen Victoria's
are Guelphs by descent, Her Majesty S
marriage with Prince Albert would give
her his surname, as is usual in such cases.
And what was the family name Of the
Prince Consort2" had to confess that
| did not know. "Well," said my
friend, "you arc excusable for not know
ing, l suppose, since only short while
ago the same question was asked at q
dinner party in London, attended by q
number of personages of rank, some Of
whom were very near royalty, and not a
soul of them could answer it. except the
propounder of the question. The name
in question is 'Wettin, and the domip-
ion of saxony came to this family in
1920. Therefore, without her crown
and kingdom, Queen Victoria would be
simply Mrs. Victim. '"-NeO York Star.

Remarkable Armor Piercing.

The remarkable progress which is be-
ing made in gunrery is illustrated by a
group of shells now on view at the royal
military exhibition at Chelsea, England,
consisting of eleven six inch cast steel
projectiles fired as proof-rounds at Shoe
buryness, against nine inch compound
armor plates. Each shell had gone in
tact completely through the armor-plate
and through from five to eight feet of
oak backing as well. In the centre Of
the group stands a 90 inch shell, which
is simply steel casting, neither rolled
nor hammered, and which has gone un-
broken through two feet of wrought
iron and twenty feet of oak backing.
Another notable case is that of pro-
iectile 1875 inches in diameter, which a
six inch wrought iron plate Immediately
back of it, thirty feet of oak backing,
another wrought iron plate, 1913 inches
in diameter, and, finally, a fourth
wrought iron plate two inches thick, or
total thickness of 36.5 inches of armor
plating. The projecti!e was found broken
in the last plate Commercial AdUertissr.

The Oldest Vessels.

Speaking of the age of ships, John
Reece, of Recess Captains Rooms, said
"The Vigilant is not by any means the
oldest vessel aaoat, although she may,
perhaps, be the oldest vessel trading on
the coast. The bark TruelOve, built in
Philadelphia in 1770, is still aaoat, and
the old Endeavor, that the late Captain
Cook commanded and made one of his
famous voyages around tine world in, IS,
am told, still in existence as a coal car
rier between Newcastle and London.
The most extraordinary instance, how
ever, of the longevity of ship comes
from France. About ten years ago a
bark was condemned to be broken up at
Bordeaux that had the date 1884 carved
on her main beam. So old was she that
all record of her had been lost prior to
1890. She had been patched up, re-
named and altered again and again.
There was no question as regards her
age, however, for her build and model
all spoke of past centuries. Strange to
say, the main keel, lower part of gripe
aud after deadwood were found as sound
as the day they were put in. The oak
had got as hard as a stone and broke
augers when they tried to bore into it..
The vessel was originally called, believe,
La Refine Marguerite, but when broken
up she went under the name of La Cert
Volant. She was anything but a flyer,
however, for she was veritable old tub
to sail. "-Philadelpaia Inquirer.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
GOOD BUTTER.

IN addressing the Vermont Dairymen's
Association, Professor Cooke gave the
following practical suggestions
"The best butter is that which best
suits the taste Of the person for whom it
is made. The keeping quality is no longer
considered essential. The consumers
want to be as near the churn as possible.
They no longer want high favored ar
ticle, but most persons Of refined taste
like it nearly like sweet cream in taste.
Agents urge the merits of their various
systems of butter making. By following
out the season it will probably be seen
that every one has taken a first prize,
perhaps several. Every one has also
made abominable butter. The man, the
COW, and the feed have more influence
than the system. Dairymen are wisely
changing their herds so that they may
engage in winter dairying and so come
up to the times. The methods of to-day are
very different from those of twenty-five
years ago. Less labor is required, while
the quality ismuch better. A man whose
taste for good butter is educated is will
ing to pay for it, but will demand three
things. A clean COW giving healthy
milk, good feed, and cleanliness in every
stage of the process. As regards ensilage-
fed butter, no expert can tell this in the
world if properly done, unless the odor
is absorbed by the milk after it is drawn.
When this is fed the stables must be well
ventilated and free from the odor. The
cream should be churned Is soon as the
acid appears SO as tON ct that creamy
~tsste. In the winter the cream will
churn better if thinned with warm
water.

The Lovely and Stately Hollyhock

OF all the summer flowers none can
compare in statelincss with the hollyhock.
If the rose is queen then this dignihed
and commanding plant is her chief mar
shall in the border Rising each year
from its green base, it attains in July
height of from six to eight feet and be-
gins to open along its fine r6ette stem
the beautiful flowers which add so much
to the brightness of our gardens. Their
colors are very pure, ranging all the way
from white to the darkest crimson and
including some fine shades Of yellow. On
the whole the single and half double
ones are the most picturesque, as they
arc the most delicate, though the massive
blossoms of the very double ones convey
more fully the idea of masculine strength.
When full grown, in strong soil, the
the plant will reach height Of eight or
nine feet and is of royal appearance in
deed.
The hollyhock. as every one knows, is
one ofthe oldest inhabitants. Our grand
mothers knew it well. 1t has, in fact,
been in use in Europe since 1878, when
It was introduced to occidental gardens
from its old home in China. Though,
strictly speaking, a biennial, the holly
hook Calthoe rosea may, by attention to
drainage, winter covering, etc, and espe-
cially by the division of the root, be
made to continue indefinitely. 1t needs
deep soil to do its best, for it is strong
feeder and does not mind all the sunshine
you can spare, 50 long as you keep its
feet cool and moist The greatest enjoy
ment of the flower comes probably to
those who raise it from the seed of blooms
fortified and crossed by the bees in their
own gardens.
The innumerable surprises which come
from such seed are source of Interest,
which few, perhaps, comprehend who
have not tried the experiment. Those
proposing to do should lay the founda-
ton by sowing the best seed procurable-
both single and double. Charters strain
of the latter is still unrivaled. SOwn in
garden loan in March or April, the young
plants will be large enough to transfer
into permanent positions by September
A shoyelful of sand placed around them
before winter closes is great benefit,
preventing tendency to rot about the
stem in early spring. The plants will
flower the second year from seed. The
seed from these first blooms, being care
fully ripened and planted in the same
way, will afford great many novelties
if the collection is at all numerous

FLOWING DEEP.


All soils cannot be treated alike, and
because one farmer finds it best to pillow
deep should not be accepted b., every
one as conclusive evidence that deep
blowing is the best under all circum-
stances, and especially is this the case
where shallow blowing has heretofore
been the rule.
1t is not a good plan, in old ground es-
pecially, that has been plowed shallow
for a number of year, to all at once bring
several inches of subsoil to the surface in
which to plant crop. And yet this
would not imply that if properly done
deep blowing would not be more profit
able. Either one of two plans should be
followed-the blowing should be deep
ened gradually, or, if plowed deep Tor
the first time, the work should be done
considerable time ahead, so as to give the
different elements time to act upon the
soil. If the land is plowed deep in the
fall for the first time, usually by spring
If will be in a fit condition for planting,
or if plowed in spring it can be sown In
the fall. But some soils should not be
plowed deep, even when this plan IS fol-
lowed; while with others the deeper it is
turned the better.
The character of the soil should largel.
determine the kind of blowing tina
should be done, and land that has been
previously cultivated, if deep blowing is
the best, should be deepened gradually,
turning up a little subsoil at each plow-
ing, until a great depth has been stirred.
Generally, if done properly, deep plow-
ing and shallow preparation and cultiva-
ton will be found the best, and deeply
stirred soil viii induce more vigorous
growth, while the plants will be able to
stand moisture better than when only
plowed shallow. So that when the char
acter of the soil will admit, the better
plan is to plow deep and thorough, tax
ing care to do the work in good season.
The action of the light, heat, cold,
rain, snow and air is to render available
plant food that is already in the soil, and
if the subsoil is brought to the surface in
this way in sufficient time to be acted
upon by these, the work can be done
with benefit.
But before blowing deep, understand
the character of the soil and know that
it will stand deep stirring.-Prairie
Farmer.

my arms around tho editor. Others

Cost of FirInu a Bin Gun.

According to a calculation made by
the Econ9miste Beige, the cost OF firing a

divided as follows: $50 pounds Of pow

silk for cartridge, s17; total, 1892. But
this is not all. The 110-ton gun, it APP
pears, can be fred but ninety-fve times,
and after that becomes incapable Of being
used, and requires repairs. Now, the
cost of'the piece being S82, 400, it is
necessary to estimate the cost Of wear at
