WHY GEORGE DIDN'T COME.
Papa Wales Was Afraid Some American
Belle Would Capiivnfe Him.
New York World !

Papa Wales Was Afraid Some American
Belle Would Captivnte Him.
New York World.l
1t Is positively asserted by an English
man of eminent official consideration in this
country that the failure of Prince George OF
Wales to visit Newport was the result of q
direct prohibition from his father. 1t may
be remembered that some years ago a story
got into print according to which it was pro-
posed to marry one of the young Princes to
an American heiress. The report was ab-
surd upon its face, but it travelled and kept
persistently alive.
Probably no one in America believed it,
but in England it aroused perfect howl of
indignation. The idea that wives for the
Princes could not be found at home set the
lighter-witted Britons, who will swallow
any fable to the discredit of America, fairly
crazy, especially as it came directly upon
the marriages of number of titled or So
cially prominent Englishmen with Ameri-
cans of money, to the desolation Of good
many English girls without that desirable
commodity. So violent did the expression
of popular opinion on the subject become
that the court found it actually expedient
to authorize what amounted to an official
denial OF it in order to secure its own peace
of mind.
It is to avoid another such explosion, says
this authority, that an interdict was placed
by the Prince OF Wales upon his sons ac-
ceptance Of the wild hurrah of hospitalities
with which the loyal Americans Newport
proposed to receive him. 1t was not feared
that some American girl would capture the
Prince and elope with him, but it was an
ticipated that the mere fact of his accepting
these American attentions would give the
anti-American party in England an excuse
for new and annoying outbreak against
the court, and arouse the opposition party in
the colonies to vindictive fury.

HUNTING WHITE-CoATs,
Methods Of the Atlantic Sealers That Ger
tninly Approach Cruelty.

Methods of the Atlantic sealers That Cer-
tninly Approach Cruelty.
New York Tribune.1
The chorus of fear set up by the "white-
coats" or Atlantic seals at the first signs of
the approach of foe, is often the first indi-
cation hunters have of the presence of their
game. Soon, however, the black spots on
the ice appear in the distance. and the ship
is thrown at once into the widest confusion.
Craftily, like a cat charming bird, she
moves through the icefeld, creeping along
until it is plain that the men can safely
reach their prey. Then she lays to, and at
once a swarm OF hunters 200 or 300 OF them,
spring upon the ice, and, with gaff and
knife, they rush at the "white-coats."
The shouts of the men, the low but never
ceasing grinding of the ice, like distant
thunder rumbllng in the sky, the inluriated
roars of the mother seal, and the terrified.
pitiiul cries of their cubs, for all the world
like the sobbing of child in distress, pro-
duce confusion of sounds that is dreadful
to hear.
1t is the young seal, the cub, that was
born only from three to six weeks before
that the hunters are after. The skin is then
in its finest condition. The coat is white
and almost fur-like, and the heavy lining of
fat directly under the skin by which the
carcass is protected against the cold, con-
tains its greatest percentage of oil. A
single blow with the gaff on the white
coats" nose is enough to stun and often to
kill him. That delivered, the hunter whips
out his knife and in another second the skin
and fat are stripped away and the poor
little creatures carcass is left steaming,
bleeding and quivering ON the ice.

BIRTH OF THE MINT JULEP,
A Traveller Initiated a Farmer Who Forth.
with Drank Himself to Death.

A Traveller Initiated a Farmer Who Forth.
with Drank Himself to Death.
St. Louis Republic.J
Mint juleps are the most refreshing beY-
erage known to modest drinkers this very
warm weather. There is much demand for
the essence of the sweet-smelling leaf, but of
all those who smack their lips after tasting
the delicious mixture there are few that
know the origin of the very pleasing drink.
Some years ago when passing by farm in
the State of Kentucky, traveller stopped
at the farmers house on the road side and
getting off his horse asked the smiling old
lord OF the big estate if he could have q
glass of water.
"Why, yes" was the reply, "snd maybs
you would not object to little Of the good
old stuff in it.
''Not bit. my friend" answered the trav-
eler, and away the old man went to supply
the wants of the weary rider. While on his
mission of charity the travellers nasal organ
came in contact with the sweet odor that
emanated from large bed of mint in the
adjoining kitchen garden, and on being
given glass of clear spring water with q
bumper OF genuine old grog" thrown In,
he asked his beneiactor if he would not
kindly give him a bunch of the mint. He
got it and dipped it into his glass several
times until nicely favored and then drank.
The old gentleman was surprised and
asked what in the name of heaven he had
done that for, to which the thankful trav-
eler replied by asking if he would permit
him to mix one for him. The farmer con-
sented, and after drinking smacked his lips
and said, 'Grand." The traveller continued
his way after thanking his host for the hos
pitality shown him, having mixed the first
mint julep heard of.
Four years later he passed the same way
again and stopped at the same old farmers
house for glass of water. Instead of his
old friend he was met at the door by an old
lady wearing a nicely bordered cap. May
/ have glass of water, ms'amP asked the
traveller. Certainly" was the kind reply.
"But where is your husband" asked the
stranger as he drank glass OF plain water.
'Well, you see, sir, about four years ago .
stranger passed this way and taught my poor
husband how to drink his whisky with grass
in it. He never drank his whisky after that
without grass in it, and when the grass gave
out he died"

They have no root, stem or Leaf, and are of
different shades of color, from light brown
to black. They are more or less globular in
form, and vary in size from that of flbert
to that of large ducks egg. Their surface
is knotty or warty and covered with skin,
which forms a sort of net work Of serpentine
veins.
In some parts of TRANSCRIPTION and Per.
igord, for instance-pigs are trained for
trufae-bunting; and there need be no great
wonder at the employment of pigs in this
business, for these nearly omnivorous ami
mails are amongst the most keen-scepted of
quadrupeds. The animals are nuzzled so
they cannot eat the tempting morsels, and
thus they have their labor for their pains.

KEEPS WELL TO THE FORE.

Mira. James G. Blaine. Jr., One of the Relxs-
Ing Ladies of Saratoga.
New York world.1
Although Mrs. James G.. Blaine, Jr., has
only been in Saratoga a matter Of two or
three weeks she is already one of the most
familiar and attractive features of life at
the springs. After dinner in the afternoon
she is to be seen on the piazza overlooking
Broadway, watching the moving panorama
of the avenue with eager and interested
eyes. Surely it is a delightful change to
this charming woman after an entire winter
spent within the four walls of sick room,
whose monotony was only varied BY the con-
sultstion of physicians and the operations
they felt called upon to perform.
Mrs. Blaine tells me that she expects thai
another operation will be necessary, and
this will be accomplished some time in De-
cember, after the return of DIR. Bull. It is
to be hoped that this operation will restore
her rheumatic limb to its normal condition,
and that ultimately she will regain her
strength. .. In the meantime Saratoga simply
has done wonders for her. She has gained
something like II pounds since her arrival,
aud her face has taken on a roundness and .
dainty color that have long been absent
from it

WRITTEN ros THE prsrArcH.i

fWRrTTEN FOR THE DISPlTCHl
All the world is covered thick with the
dust of ages. What of that? Nothing; only
the dust,of ages-much of it's the dust Of
dead people. In dry weather we sprinkle
the ground to keep down the dust of remote
ancestors. In wet weather we wade through
mud compounded of forgotten generations.
We are curiously thoughtless of all that.
We fence in our cemeteries and protect the
graves there with reverenr care. The man
who carelessly steps on a sodded mound
feels that he has desecrated the home of the
dead. Yet he will tramp for miles along
roads and across fields with never q thought
of the mortality beneath him.
Plenty of people are afraid to live near
or even to pass through, grave yard be-
cause of possible ghosts. If ghosts rise
from graves. think of the disembodied In
dians and Mound Builders likely to e1hale
from every cellar in Americal We moral
ize over the skull OF poor Yorick, because it
happens to have kept its shape. But when
the dead Caesar has turned to clay we plas-
ter up crack with him, never bothering
our brains aboutthe wonderful man he used
to be. Well, that is as it should be. 1t is
natural, inevitable and very desirable. For
there would be small cheer 10 life for any of
us if we had to keep thinking of the dead
people who count up the largest total of the
human census. There are SO many of them
that we never could think of anything else
if we thought much of them. And in COM
fortably forgetting them we may justify
ourselves, if We choose, with this reflection.
A thousand years from now our posterity
will be dealing with us precisely as we are
dealing to-day with those old ancestors Of
ours.

Beyond TrndIfion's Grasp.
That fact, IL we would consider il, VIC

That fact, IL we would consider it, would
help us to a point of view from which we
might see many curious things. As We are
to-day 50 was every man, woman and child
thousand or a million years ago. At
least, allowing fopthe eras of barDarism
sandwiched in between civilizations, a
goodly proportion of forgotten humanity has
been such as we are. Every individual of
every generation had his life tragedy and
comedy and romance, as we have. Every
one of them held himself as important as
any of us. Every one of them aspired and
grieved, and loved and hated, and hoped
and despaired, and rejoiced and suffered
Just as we do. When one of them pros
pered he thought the world was advancing
and growing much better. When one of
them failed in his purposes he thought the
world was going to the dogs.
And the world has kept calmly on with
its spinning, and has forgotten all about
them. Multitudes Of them were very wise
and very great. Other mult1tudes were de-
structively crazy and phenomenally bad.
All of them figure now simply as indistinct
factors in the worlds great average. As in
dividuals they left not a trace in the dust
that overlays the earth. History is a very
modern affair; tradition is only a little
older. Stretching away beyond the farthest
and faintest milestone tradition set up be-
fore history began its measurements, is
vast desert Of human life and human inter-
est of which we have no geography at all.
History names a few nearby mountains for
us. Tradition hints at few little farther
off. Beyond them are fog and mystery.
Had the world of men no greatness, then, in |
that forgotten past? Men as imperial as
Cesar lived and ruled, we may be sure.
But we know nothing Of them. Even ira
dition had forgotten them before our tradi-
tions began.

They could not get away just then, how
ever, for the course was being cleared for
the race; so they fingered there until they
saw, far away on the open river, two small
objects like water insects, with slender
quick-moving legs, coming rapidly along.
The dull murmur of the crowd became y
