The English ROYAL Succession

I hear that the Duke Of Edinburgh has
worried the queen considerably about
the question of the succession to the
throne in the event of Prince Albert Vic
tor and Prince George dying without
issue. The duke of -Coburg- Gotha
and the Empress Frederick are under
stood to be strongly of opinion that, in
order to prevent any possibility of dis
putes and troubles in the future, there
ought to be formal understanding on
the subject, 1t is undoubtedly desirable
that such questions should be properly
and publicly settled in good time, and,
human life being uncertain, the antici-
pated situation might arrive any day.
Lord Salisbury has been much to blame
for letting the matter slide in order to
avoid threatened disputes, as a formal
announcement ought certainly to have
been made TO parliament before the mar
riage took place.-London Truth.

left the front door ajar, and the watch
man coming round soon afterward
alarmed the house.
The flight was discovered, and DIR.
Child, ordering out his carriage, set forth
in pursuit. All night long and all next
day the angry father raced his Grant
daughter, and, as they neared the border,
he began to gain on the fugitives. Then
Lord Westmoreland drew his pistol and
shot Mr.. Child's leader dead. The victory
was won, the chase was over, and the
young couple were duly married by the
blacksmith. Meanwhile Dir. Child re-
turned in high dudgeon to London, and
made a will leaving all his wealth, over
his daughters head-not to her sons, for
SO he would have enriched the earldom
Of Extraordinarily to her eldest
daughter. Thus the principal interest
in the great banking house passed to
Lady Sarah Sophia Child Fame, who
married the Earl of Jersey and was the
grandmother Of the present peer. She
was for fifty years one of the best known
figures in the society of London, and is
graphically described by Lord Beacons-
field in ''Endymion," under the name of
Zenobia. Lord Jersey sold the house to
Lord osebery.-Murray' Magazine.

What Made the Goose Follow.

The old story of the Maine soldier who
was caught skinning the sheep and re-
marked that no sheep could bite him
and live reminds a contributor to The
Oxford Advertiser of a veteran of the
''unpleasantness' of twenty years ago,
who regularly draws his check from a
postofice on the banks OF the Androscog-
gin. At one time while in the enemy's
country the order mo foraging' was is
sued. About dusk cur hero might have
been seen on a very rapid retreat from
the rear of farm house near by, closely
pursued by a gander with wings out
spread, whose feet seemed to scarcely
touch the ground, and from whose beak
issued angry screams. The fugitive was
not at all treasured by the cries Of the
owner, "Hold on, soldier; he won't hurt
your The soldier never stopped until
he reached his friends, who, of course,
relieved him from his pursuer with the
aid of the butt of a musket. Who re-
moved the hook with the cod line at
tached from the mouth of the unfortu-
nate gander still remains mystery, but
several witnesses say it was there all the
same.-LewiSton journal.

Money Making Midgets.

The little people seem to have received
more brains to compensate for their
diminutive bodies. Nearly all of them
can make money well and easily and
most of them know how to keep it. Some
of the best known midgets on the stage,
all people of standing and most of them
possessed of wealth or something very
near it, are as follows:
Commodore Foote and his sister, Eliza
Nestrel, not deformed at all, but midgets
who travel widely and collect coin and
decorations.
Senorita Lucia Zarate, the most sue
cessful midget in the world, perfectly
formed, weight pounds II ounces and
height 264 inches, by New York Clipper
measurements.
Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, who was born
in Middleboro, Mass, June 2, 1S41, and
is 81 inches high.
Her second husband, Count Magri,
brother Of Baron Magri, both very small
and rich men.
Gen. Tom Thumb, now dead, of Bridge
port, Conn, 80 inches high. by Clipper
measurement.
Gen. Mite, who, by the same measure
ments, was found to weigh 0 pounds
and to be 20 inches high.
Little Tisch,' the grotesque clog
dancer with the duck legs, who comes
from England and makes plenty of
money.
Fish and Ralston, the shorter of the
Wesley Brothers, Little Mac, Maj. Jot
of Fitchburg, Maj. Littlefngcr and Ad-
miral Dot. All of these dots and tots
are brainy and moss Of them have prof
tied by it.-New York World.

4 Violet IunoL.aOn.

Here is the description in London
newspaper of a violet luncheon given by
q Chicago girl to her girl friends: 1.-THE
luncheon consisted of ten courses served
by caterer. The menu was matchless.
The Chicago people live well. There
was long, fat, narrow mirror down the
table, surrounded by border of blue
and white violets edged with a fringe of
maiden hair ferns. The corners of the
cloth were tied with white and violet
satin ribbon. The young hostess Whose
mother did not appear wore white cash
mere with cuffs and collar of violet vel
vet, and she carried white lace fan on
which was painted violets. BY the plate
of each guest was small gilded wicker
basket filed with violets white and blue.
A string band, harp and violins, played
softly whiie the girl guests ate and laugh
ed and chatted. Detroit Free Press.

THE ARMY OF TYPES. 4

Oh. aglorious fanels the fame Of the fray
For the banner Of Stars and ofStripesi
Butthe mighnest scldieIssot alI are they
Who march in the Army Of TyPesi
6ow they come ct theEvaveof thecaptain's hand
How they gather With rattle and click.
And leap to the ranks at the Silent command,
On the forming ground of'the stick!
And whether # storTp or whether it shine
And ever by day and by night,

And march away to the fight.
Each soldier moves on in his squad Of word.
To TIE drum Of the age in the van,
And armed with two edged, iDviStbis sword.
That cuts through the spirit OF man
Where Ignorance sits on her shcdowy thrones.
Built round by the walls OF ldn1ght,
They cFuTnbe and crush into powder the stones
And let in the legions Of light
Where Tyranny reignS with his foot anc his yoke
On the neck Of the poor and the just,
They cease not TO site till the letters are broke,
And rhetyrant is laid in the dust.
o, Army of Freedom! and Army of Light
O, host of our Godl battle on!
Till the people shall rule in their God given right
And the long night Of error Is goneL
Oh, glorious fame Is the fame OF the fray
For the banner OF Stars and Of Stripes.
But the lnigbtiest soldiers OF al are they
Who march in the Army Of Types

Physical Culture at College.

Every student is entitled to an exam
ination, and the most of them avail them
selves of it. The student is then required
to go through certain exercises, and
measurements of the different portions
of his body are taken. These are kept
for comparisons, and to show what adj
vance he is making. The gymnasium is
now so managed that a student is not re-
quired to compete with men stronger
than himself, but can exercise alone.
Gentle running exercise is recommended,
as it promotes circulation and starts per-
spiration. This renders bathing neces-
sary, which is very important for the
health of the student. Sponge or shower
baths are regarded as the best. Heavy
gymnastics are no part of the college
training, but are carried on by the stu
dents belonging TO athletic clubs. It is
believed that it is better to have 100 men
strong, healthy and athletic, than one
man, or team, who can break records.
There are in Harvard college PAS students
today who can surpass the tests applied
to the strongest men of 1880, Although
attendance on the gymnasium is entirely
voluntary there are 200 students who
make use of its advantages.-Dr. D. A.
Sargent.

The Egg Interest.

Poultry and eggs may not promise
much in the way of fame and fortune to
the average reader, but they would be
sorely missed by his stomach on Thanks
giving and Christmas days were the sup
ply unequal to the demand. In his first
report the secretary of the department of
agriculture demands the recognition Of
the Importance of this interest, and places
the farm value of poultry products in the
United States at 5000. 200, 900 for last
year, while no less than 19e, 100, 900 eggs
were imported at an average 6rst cost Of
over fifteen cents dozen; and for the
past four years we have averaged pay
ments of S2,a16,2 1926 per annum for for
eign eggs. Here are facts and food for
reflection and incubation.-Albs Jour

A Big Whale and His Mate.

The big whale which caused a commo-
ton in the bay last week reappeared off
Sausalito on Sunday with a mate as large
and frisky as himself. The two monsters
were more on business than on pleasure
bent. as they picked out the best places
in the channel for fishing, and kept at it
industriously all day Sunday and good
part of yesterday. The noise of their
spouting could be plainly heard in Sausa-
Ito. They were very shy, starting sea-
ward whenever approached by sail or
row boats. The abundance of small fish
was what doubtless tempted them over
the bar, and they divided the ground
yesterday with host of predatory peli-
cans, gulls and seals. 4 water front
whale sharp estimates the length of the
larger one at forty feet and of the smaller
one at thirty.-San Francisco Examiner.

Two Dog Stories.

Ny wife was followed-a few days ago,
while going through a new house, by
our bull terrier pug and by a collie dog.
Mug, the pug, became frantic when he
was unable to climb a high step. The
collie was deeply troubled, but in a few
moments lifted Mug up the step by the
nape of his neck.
For number of years my father made
western trips Of several weeks duration
His dog Jack would invariably meet
him at the station on his return. The
mystery TO us was now the dog could
tell of his arrival, unless, indeed, he
understood our talk of the day before

80. 50 Berkeler Sonare.

The house is not without traditional
interest, for it was in the last century
the scene Of a romantic elopement. 1t
was then the residence of Mr.. Child, the
opUlent banker of Temple Bar, who had
an only daughter, the heiress of his
enormous wealth. The Earl of West
moreland paid attentions to the young
lady, but his suit was not encouraged by
her father, who wished his daughter TO
marry a younger son, and form a new
family, which should perpetuate the
name Of Child. Nothing daunted, Lord
Westmoreland determined 10 make a
clandeStine marriage at Gretna Green
In order TO make good the heroine's es-
cape it was necessary TO evade the vigil
ance of her duenna, who slept IN the
room through which that Of the heiress
was approached So the old lady's poSset
was drugged. and she slept the sleep OF
the just while her young charge slipped
out into Berkeley square, where Lord
Westmoreland was waiting with his
travelling carriage. But. unluckily. In

Germany's Frisky Emperor.

The German emperor decidedly aston
ished the stolid Turk during his visit to
Constantinople. They expected to see
sedate, grave parsonage, always moving
in solemn state, as beftted 80 great
monarch, but instead they found brisk
young man, who preferred to ride on
horseback with few attendants and
rushed about from morning TO night
with his wife like the most curious tour
list. Emperor William often vexed his
escort by turning suddenly into by
streets which had not been done up for
imperial eye, and would ride down steep
descents at breakneck speed, with the
cavalry jolting after him in mortal ter
ror. His majesty missed two of the
most characteristic features of Constan-
tinople streets, for the dogs and the beg
CARS were closely shut up during his
stay. The dogs were housed N two large
buildings il the suburbs and the beggars
inhabited wing of the Stamboul prison,
being well fed at the government ex-
pense till the German sovereign depart

Horses Teeth.

More trouble with and Iaclc of condi-
ton of horses are due to liberated and
irregular teeth than is generally sup
posed. They should be removed with
forceps. There is no reason to do1bf
that a horse with liberated teeth suffers
as intensely from tooshache as human
subject. Irregular growth or fracture
of the enamel on the outer edges make
the teeth 50 rough IS to injure the inside
Of the cheek, sometimes causing ulcers.
In other cases some Of the grinders grow
more slowly than Others and fail to meet
those in the opposite jaw, cslsing what
is called guiding imperfect uaasoca-

the teeth INTO the proper shape. Horse
