On the 9Th of May the little crown
prince of Germany, eldest son of the
emperor, was ten years old. Now, for
this brave little fellow, and everyone
agrees that he is a fine boy-for this
little fellow to be ten means a great
deal for him, a great deal for the king
dom and very great deal for his father
and mother who love him. In the first
place, from this day forth he is to have
an independent household, with his diff
ferent tutors and drill and riding mas
tiers, his military governor, and do not
know how many others besides. He Is
never to have any more nurses or gov
ernesses, and, while until he was ten no
one was permitted ever to address him
as his royal highness, now every body is
supposed to give him his title.
The best and most delightful Of all.

TELL HIM HE Is NOT FAe~r TING.
efforts to look as nice as D. IDLE are a
sort of homage to their discernment and
appreciation. This is a great mistake.
1t is not their powers of discernment
which are the incentive with us to
appear at our best, but those of our own
sex. Our eyes are far more constantly
occupied in examining women than men.
Observe, for instance, at church, at the
rheater, in ballroom, or in street
car the ordeal to which the last woman
to enter is subjected by those already
there. Within a few minutes, nay, even
seconds, the feminine eyes in the place
or conveyance will have taken her
measure, appraised her, fixed her social
position, according to the sliding scale
of dress, and have noted each defect or
advantage of the new comer's attire,
couture, face and figure. 1t is with the
object of issuing forth VIGOROUSLY from
this critical, searching inspection on the
part of members of our own sex that we
take snch trouble to "look nice"
Men have no idea of the power pos
sessed by the feminine eye of rapid con-
centration, of measurement, of weighing,
of estimating and counting Indeed,
the capabilities of the masculine optic
appear so weak and petty in comparison
that we often feel tempted to ask its
owner, where on earth his eyes are!
When, for instance, we enter strange
house, while our mouth is smiling, and
our lips uttering pleasant words, our
eyes are taking in every detail of the
room, and of its occupants. We notice
il the gems worn by the ladies are pinch
beck, instead of real, the character of
the furniture; indeed nothing escapes
our searching eye.
The latter do their work without ap-
pearing to see, differing therein and
rising superior to the Puralind optics of
the ''sterner sex, which appear to see,
and make pretense of doing So with
out really succeeding in seeing anything.

CARING FOR THE FLOWERS.

Do not, crowd the plants in window
boxes.
ROTATION is advised in the flower gar
den as well as in the vegetable garden.
BE sure and set the young plants in
fresh loose soil and do not forget to
firm the earth close about the plants.
WHENEVER this is practica BILE do your
transplanting after sunset and Just
before a rain. Remember that short
stocky plants make the most vigorous
growth.
The results of experiments on hasten
ing the termination of seed show that
camphor and oxygenated water appear
TO be the most energetic excitants. not
only as regards the acceleration of ger
mination. but as affecting the vigor of
the plants.

But folks around here just call it sea-

Now, / could have told that learned
man all about ''sea-pork," for am one
of those live creatures myself. Our
name is "Tunicates," because we are
covered by kind of leathery tunic or
coat. Some people call US "Ascidians, :"
which is very good name to describe
us by, for it comes from an old Greek
word that means ''sl1in bottle"
We do look like some queer sea fruit.
Some of US are six inches long, others
only one inch.
Long, long ago there was man who
has been called the Father of Zoolo-
gy." His name was Aristotle, and he
tried to find out whether we Tunicates
should be called animals or vegetables.
You know that when we are fully
grown we have stem that fixes US to
rocks or mud, and that makes US look
like some queer vegetable growing.
Aristotle was sharp old fellow, and
he knew how to use his eyes. So he
looked. at US, and at last he said that
we were animals, and not vegetables.
And he spoke the truth.

Nor is man wise or justified in claim

and our physical stamina are Of far
higher order than those of man. Com
pare, for instance, the powers OF en-
durance of female sick nurse with
those of a nurse of the male persuasion,
and it will invariably be found that
those of the former carry the day. Ask

his wife's gaze, Of the wide and extern
sive range of her vision, and above all
of the indubitable fact that neither the
mental nor physical eye of man can
compete with the sex he so often affects
to regard with plying condescen-
sion. The most artless of bread-and-
butter misses, the most naive aud
ingenious of school girls sees things
about the youth who is paying atten-
ton to her in patronizing sort of way,
the revelation of which would humil-
late and mortify him unspeakably.
But when the youth blossoms into the
married man he is apt to lose that
sublime belief that he is fascinating.
He gets told as much, not, perhaps, at
first, but when the fresh gliding of the
union begins to wear off a bit-and
then he at once appreciates the range of

l am prepared, however, to admit that

But, then, it is precisely the absence of
these so-called qualities that constitute
one of our principal charms and attract
ton. Men are monotonOus, commonplace
and uninteresting just because of their
logical and consequent turn Of mind.
With them you can always calculate in
advance just what they are likely to say
and to do, whereas with women this is
impossible. One never knows what we
are going to do or to say next for we defy

possesses infinitely more penetration
and intuition than his. A common
weakness of man is to believe all men
honest until they find them to be the
reverse. Women rarely make this mis-
take as regards men, and never as re-

w title of a volume which
has recently been published simultane-
eusiy in England and this country. Its
author, Mr. Malcolm Salaman, writes
agreeably enough, but in somewhat too
patronizing manner of our sex, and it is
easy to perceive from his remarks that,
Notwithstanding his commonplace and
hackneyed compliments, women, when
seen through his masculine eyeglass,
appear creatures OF an altogether in
terior order of intellect and physique,
whose range of vision is exceedingly
limited and who possess neither the
logic nor the consequence of the sterner
sex.
1t is easy, for US women at any rate,
to gather from this the conviction that
the author of "Woman Through
Mans Eyeglass" is an unmarried man,
and the confession contained in the
preface Of the volume to the effect that
"bache lorhood has become chronic''
with him, is, under the circumstances,
altogether superfuous. No man blessed
with helpmate in the form of wife
would, for instance, ever dream of as
serting that the Grange of feminine
vision is limited" He may fondly
have imagied that such was the case
while still minated. But as soon as
the honeymoon is over he begins TO
find out his mistake and becomes pain
