Whipping a Prince.

Osborne, Isle of Wight, is Queen
Victoria's seaside residence.
Many years ago, when the Prince OF
Wales was lad, he was one day play
ing on the beach, when he spied bas.
ket of fish. Thirsting for fun, he over
turned the basket and sent the fish
sprawling into the water. The young
owner-a boy about the princes age
soon returned, and, enraged at the loss
of the days tolls, attacked the perpe-
traitor, giving him vigorous beating; (;
whereupon his Royal Highness flew
angrily to the castle.
"Know we, lad, who ye've been lay
ing hands on ?" asked fisherman, ap-
preaching; "it's none other than the
heir to the throne v'
CONSERVATION filled the mind of the
boy and all his family, still more
when, in the evening, a summons
came from the Queen to that youth, to
present himself at Osborne Castle.
The little fellow started with trem-
bling, thinking over all the freside
tales that his child-ears had heard, of
chains and dungeon keeps" tortures
and the AK, cheerful musings to &C.
company his slow, reluctant steps up
the avenue to the castle. His agitated
little brain was trying to frame a
speech in defense; but, when he was
ushered into the royal presence, every
word deserted his lips, and he could
not lift bis eyes from the floor.
"Are you the boy that dared whip
my son, the Prince of Wales?" asked
the Queen. sternly.
II be, y'r Maj'sty," he replied, trem-
bling in every limb; land I beg y'r
pardon, y'r Maj'sty."
You don't even try to evade the
TRUTH" said the Queen. "What pro-
voked you TO do it?"
"They-they-" the boy hesitated,
still trembling, "they was my fathers
fish, y'r Maj'sty. Didn't know twas
his Royal Highness."
"Ah, L begin to understand" Then,
turning to the prince, she asked,
"What did you do to his fish ?"
"Wanted to see if they'd swim,"
said the heir apparent, examining the
figures on the carpet; $50 tipped the
basket little"
The Queen turned to the fisher-boy,
and said: "You are brave Lad for de-
Tending your fathers possessions. OF
such metal may my army be made ?
Here is guinea for your fish, and
next time the prince, in his eagerness
for knowledge, overturns your basket,
give him another whipping, and you
shall have two guineas from his
purse"
A ighter-hearted boy never went
out of castle-gates, and a ight-hearted
father was ever after loyal to Eng
lands justice-loving Queen.-Treas-

Man In the Bible.

Perhaps some Of our good sisters,
who are inclined to be jealous of the
alleged supremacy of man, may find
comfort in the following little dia'
logne:
vor of women, John. I thought that
the Israelites kept their women in
background, but if they did, the BIZ
BILE, which is their history, doesn't"
Husband-"Humph! The Israelites
did well by keeping their women in
the background, that's where women
should be-"
Wife-"But stin the Bible says
that'-
Husband-"Oh,I know there are a
few women mentioned in the Bible
there was Jezebel, she was wo.
man."
Wife-"Yes, and there was Ahab,
he was a man. And there was."-
Husband-"Its no use talking, Ma
ry. The Bible is a history of men.
Women are mentioned only inciden-
tally as they had influence on the &C
tions of men. The Book says little
about women compared to what 1t
does about menW
Wife (musingly) )-"You may be right,
John, now when T come to think of it.
There is one thing, at any rate, it says
about men that it does not say about
women"
Husband (smilingly)-"I thought
you would come to your senses, Mary.
What ia it the Book says about men
that it does not say about women?"
Wife-"It says all men are liars"
Th,n the husband arose and put on
his hat, and went out to see what
kind of night it was. The Voice.

stimuIants for Pot Plants.

The successful florist has more faith
In giving stimulants when the plants
really need them than in keeping the
roots in soil made rich and almost Of
fensive by strong manure. When
roots are few and the plants are al,
most at rest the purer the soil and the:
less stimulant the plants receive the
better will they thrive when their
roots come to draw up larger supplies.
of nourishment.
Moisture Is needed to soften the soil
and to allow the roots to extract nonr-
ishment from it, but when all the vir-
tue Is out of the earth and the plants
begin to show signs of distress all the
watering in the world will not give
vigor to the exhausted functions, but.

pared manure be mixed with the wa

The Brightest Gift.

One day when the studies were over,
the schoolmaster took from his desk
an odd-looking box with pictures of
birds painted upon it. He called the
boys to his desk and told them that he
had brought each one of them a little
present. Then, while they stood
around, he drew out of it some white
and pink, shells and some pretty toys,
which he gave to them with kind and
pleasant words.
But the most lovely thing of all was
little statue of an angel. She stood
with her small white hands folded
over her breast, and her face uplifted,
and appeared 80 fair and 30 pure that
the children gazed at her with eyes
full of joy. They had never seen any
thing like it.
"This little angel is too lovely to be
given to any child who is not good
and true of heart. But the one who
brings me tomorrow the brightest
thing on earth shall have the angel for
his own"
The children looked at each other.
not feeling sure that they understood
the master. But he said no more, and
they went home.
The next day, after the lessons were
finished, the children gathered around
the master to show him what they had
brought. Some had picked up spark
ling stones by the roadside; one had
polished small piece of silver until
it shone like mirror; another had
brought a watch-crystal which his fa-
ther had given him and Henry, the
merchants son had brought breast
pin, with stone set in its center that
shone like diamond.
"Ah, mine is the brightest p cried
Henry.
"But where is little Carl?" asked
Master Lewis, looking around. awe
cannot decide until Carl brings his Of
fering."
At that moment little Carl, the ba-
ker's only son, came running into the
room. In his hands, held up lovingly
against his neck, was a snow-white
dove. Some red drops upon it's downy
breast showed that it had been hurt.
80, master" cried Carl, II was
looking for something bright when
came upon this poor dove. Some cru
el boys were throwing stones at it, and
l caught it up quickly and ran here.
o, am afraid it will die ~
Even as he spoke the dove closed it's
soft eyes; it nestled closer to Carl's
neck, dropped its little head and died.
Carl sank upon his knees beside the
masters desk, and from his eyes there
fell upon the doves broken wing two
tears, large and bright.
The master took the dead bird from
his hands and laid it tenderly upon
his desk. Then, turning to the school
boys, he said: My children, there is
no brighter thing on earth than ten
der, pitying tear"
"Give the white angel to little
Carl p cried the boys. "We know
now what you meant; and his offer
ing is better than any Of ours"

OPPORTUNITY 1t is related that a
famous sculptor once showed a visitor
the treasures of his studio. In 1t were
many mythical gods. One particular
ly attracted the VISITORS attention.
The face was concealed by being COW
cred with hair, and there were wings
to each foot. "What is his name ?'
said the spectator. "Opportunity,'"
was the reply. "Why is his face hid
den ?n because men seldom know
him when he comes to them" why
has he wings upon his feet'?" "Be,
cause he is soon gone, and once gone
he cannot be overtaken."

Give YOUR boy an education, q 6

Give your boy an education, q good
education; all the education he is
willing to take. It may cramp you
financially to do so. 1t will matter
very little whether you leave him a
fortune, if you have given to him that
preparation for life which no change
In external circumstances can take
away. You may be rich and may
think that he will never need to work
for living, but suppose your riches
should take to themselves wings and
your son have to 60 out into the world
without the training which a good ed
ucation will impart. If the choice is
between leaving him money and edu'
eating him, you ought not to hesitate

MCDOUGALLS' SHEEP DIP.

McDougalls non-polsOnous sheep DIP and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect eX-
terminatOr on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
in this county for several years. 1t instantly
eXterm1nate, all ticks, lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at IL
special strength talso waterproots the tieeces,
thus afforling the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United states,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-having to Il large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.
