ed Auecdote of George, Primo q
Wales.


When Prince George OF Wales was
"A mldshiplnan he was present at a
ball AT Portsmouth lie was dancing
with a young lady who had not
caught the name OF her partner, and
who did not choose 10 dance icnor-
antly.
What is your nance" she inquired,
with smiling dircctnesS. Il never
do get hold OF peoples names when
they are introduced. Ii is stupid not
knowing"
"Oh," said the Prince, my name
is George"
II don't mean your Christian
name What is your other name?y"
she persisted.
We'll" said the royal sailor, lin
not often called 10y my family name
l am generally called George"
The young lady grew suspicious.
She scanned his n.form narrowly.
''Why, you're only a midshipman."
she cried. ''why 1 thought you were
Il real officer"
YES" admitted her partner, Il
am only "A midshipman. DO you mind?
Perhaps you only dance with real
or1icersY"
The young lady declared uncom-
promislnglv that sucn was the case;
and almost Immediately she COM
planned of fatigue and heat, and
begged her p%artnert TO take her Ia her
chaperon.
The Prince Immediately sought his
equerry, and indicating his late rart-
ner, sent HIM 10 that lady with a
message.
"Go and tell that young lady-the
one 10y the window IN the pale green
drcss-that my family name is
Guelph" said Prince George.
The eQucrry looked astoIished but
the future Duke OF York and heir APP
parent OF THESE realms reiterated his
command.
"Nhe wants TO know. Go and tell
her"
The c ucrry presented himself, and,
bowing low before the lady, fulfilled
his mission.
IL am directed by his Royal High
ness 20 Inform YOU" he said, that
the family name OF his Royal High
ness is Guelph"
Perhaps her ~cbapcron had already
told her something. She betrayed no
embarrassment, and replied:
"Will you thank the Prince for his
message, and tell his Royal Highncss
that | am quite rcstcd?'
This message vas also delivered 20
Prince George, who had, however,
Just given his hand 10 another lady.
Thank that lady for me-" he re-
piled, and tell her OF my satisfac-
ton ia hearing she has recovered
from her fatigue. But the room is
suill very warm, and ] AN about To
dance with this lady-who does not
dance only with real ofccIs."

AT that late hour to do them harm?
MI. Zane moved near 10 his rifle,
and with a glance OF the eye intimat-
ed 10 his wife 10 have the butcher
knife ready 10 aid in defending them
selves
Meantime, Captain Jack sat gazing
into the fire for a full hali-hour.
SPECIFICS and motionlesS AT length
he rose from his seat and fixing his
keen eyes upon MI. zane, he said:
Brother, i eat salt in your house
many time, and many time you give
me blanket 10 make me warm. In
dian don't forget You my brother.
! come q tell you be killed before
morning. Indians come soon. 1 eat
now"
He sat down, ate "A few hurried
mouthfuls OF venison, asked for the
pipe, took few whiffs, and then eX-
claimed, Go, Go To fort quick"
and went hurricdly away.
Mr.. zane and his wife seized such
things as were within easy grasp, and
ran with all speed toward the fort
They were none too soon, for scarcely
were they half a mile on their way
when, looking back, they saw their
cabin in flames But for Captain
Jacks timely warning, they would no
doubt have lost their lives.

Stables Under Straw stacks.

Provided the stack is held up by
strong wooden supports, a stable un-
der the stack makes one OF the best,
cheapest and warInest winter shell
tiers for any kind OF stock. II should
be built So that animals cannot eat
away the stacks where il has no sup.
ports, as they will often do when
forced TO get their living from a
stack. In olden times stacks OF hay
were often left to be eaten away bv
young stock, with the result Of
wasting a good deal OF the hay and
toward spring having an overtu; ned
stack, killing calves and sheep i'm
prisoned under it, There is little of
this kind OF wastefulness among
farmers now. The wonder is that
such management could ever have
been so common as it undoubtedly
was.

PETER CooPER's ILLUSTRATION


How He Cured u Merchant Of the Habit OF
borrowing Mt Kuinous Rates.
Mr.. Cooper was always a careful
and prudent business man. He was
always opposed TO the methods Of
many merchants, who launched out
In eNtravagant enterprises Oh Dor
rowed money, for which they paid
exorbitant pr.ces OF interest. Once,
says the New York Evening ! Ost,
while talking about q project with an
acquaintance, the latter said he
would have TO borrow the money for
six months, paying interest at the
rate OF 3 per cent.
why do you borrow for so short q
timer" Mr.. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers will not ne
gotiatc bills for longer"
well, II you WISH" said Mr..
Cooper. Il will discount your note
at that rate for three years"
'Are you in carnest?" said the
would.b borrower.
Certainly l am. l will discount
your note for $40, 600 for three years
at that rate. viii you do it?"
"Of course i WILL" said the mcr-
chant.
Very WE'LL" said Mr.. Cooper,
lust sign this note for SIC, 600, pay
able in three years, and give me your
check for $500, ana the transaction Is
complete"
"But where is the money for me?"
asked the astonished merchant,
you don't get any money" was
the reply. Your interest for thirty
six months, at , per ccntum per
month, amounts TO los per ccntum,
or $40, 500; therefore, your check for
$500 just makes us even"
The force OF this practical illustra-
ton OF the folly OF paying such an
eNorbitant price for the use of money
was such that the merchant deter
mined never TO borrow at such ruin
Gus rates, and he frequently used to
say that nothing could have SO fully
convinced him as this rather humor-
Gus proposal by Mr.. Cooper.

CuCumbers Under Glass.

Narnum Frost OF Arlington, gives
the following as his method OF rails
ing cucumbers in his house OF forced
vegetables: The plants are set two
in a hill, and hnally thinned to one.
The hills are two feet apart. About
three cords Of horse are
placed in four trenches, |! feet deep
by Die foot wide. running the length
OF a house 1914 feet long. The ma
lure is covered with about seven
inches OF soil. Cucumbers are picked
in seventy DAYS from the sowing OF
the seed. Mr.. Frost's forcing house
is 25Xl9i feet. Each year he raises
therein two crops OF lettuce, n crop
OF cucumbers and one crop Of French
breakfast radishes gown with Gu
cuinbers. The following are the APP
proximate crops: Lettuce 100 dozen
each crop, cucumbers, IL. 600, rad
ishes 500 punches. He uses steam
heat. Plants raised from selected
seed are SO started as TO time that
n crop follows another without in
remission.

The Circus a. a Political Agent.

"Perhaps the most brilliant ruse
ever attempted was practiced down
in North Carolina a number Of years
ago" said a politician yesterday.
lat the time there Was a possibility
OF the Republicans carrying the
state and they worked hard for sue.
cess According 10 the law the poll
taxes were required TO be paid al
most a year before the registration
took place. The Republicans, in
order To secure their votes, paid the
poll tax OF each colored citizen, pre-
senting him a receipt The Demo-
Gratis heard this with dismay. 1t was
a move that seemed harl TO beat.
The tax receipts were in the hands
OF the colored people and IL looked
a. though every one OF them would
register. The Democrats met the
difficulty, however. They had John
RobinsoI's circus go through the
State ana advertise that poll-tax re-
ceipt. would be taken as admission
tickets 10 the show. 1 doubt IL "A
single tax receipt remained in a coli
ored mans possession by the time the
