Princess and Shoemaker.

On one occasion at Bournemouth Prin-
cess Maud went into shoe store and
purchased a pair of rubbers, or, as the
English call them, "galoches." The
storekeeper was a little abrupt, and as
the rubbers were inexpensive he declined
to send them home. The princess ac-
cordingly carried the parcel herself, but
within q few minutes she was met by
one Of her suit in search of her, and the
dismay Of the churlisb tradesman when
he heard who his customer had been can
well be imagined. He had, however, the
cool impertinence to place the royal arms
with the crest Of the Prince Of Wales
feathers above the shop window and in
scribed in large letters on the plate glass,
''Patronized by Her Royal Highness the
Princess Maud" This so Disguised her
little highness that she had a special in
junction served on the man, which re-
suited in his taking the arms, etc., down.

I once heard of lady who wrote

by this kind Of mechanical contriyanco
to be enabled in some sort to dismiss
the subject from her mind. The paper

A Cure For rheumatism.

A we'll known member of the bee
keeping fraternity has been lecturing in
Northumberland on that particular form
of small industry TO which he has de-
voted himself, and in the course of his
address he dwelt not merely on the fnan-
cial but the hygienic advantages of
bee culture. He informed his audience
that he was the father of twelve chill
dren, all living, and ascribed this fact to
the liberal use of honey as an article Of
diet, adding that hegets a good deal more
money from the local doctor for honey
than the doctor gets from him for medi-
cine.
More than that, he has derived another
personal auyantage from keeping bees
in his complete freedom from rheuma-
tism, from which he previously suffered,
and has no doubt that this pleasing i'm
munity is entirely due to the beneficial
influence of bee stings. We have heard
Of people hagellating themselves with
nettIes, but the beauty of the bee cure is
that there is no necessity for any exer-
ton on the part of the patient.-West-
ern (England) Gazette.

TRAGEDY AND COMEDY.
What New York Reporter Found Out on
His Strange Assignment.

Els Strange Assignment.
It was Sunday evening, about 8 by the
clock, and the usual calm Of that one
night in the week brooded over The Press
Office. A stranger entered. Hesitatingly
he thrust forth little pack Of grimy
cards written on with ink and rapidly
said: Gentlemen, I'm a writer Of jokes.
I've got some here I want to sell I'm
desperately hard up. It's a horrible
The little man stopped short.
Are you q professional jo-ah-hu-
morist?" asked a reporter
Yes, sir" said the stranger. Eat any
rate, I was q month ago. Now I don't
know what I am He spoke the last
sentence with half groan.
Then the visitor continued: "Seven
years ago I was employed as Il railway
clerk. / had little turn for writing
funny paragraphs. So I left railroad
ing. I've written jokes and paragraphs
and verses for nearly every paper there
is in town. Sometimes I made $50 a
week and sometimes double that amount.
But since the new year began haven't
earned a $40 bill. I have a wife. Well.
we've been pretty nigh starvation, and
the landlady wanted to put us out for
not paying our rent only yesterday. Oh,
Lord. this is what I've come to! Yes,
yes; I saw that you gentlemen looked at
my shirt. I know my degradation and
you needn't be afraid Of hurting II y feel
ings. There aren't enough left to be
hurt"
The reporter sent him to the night city
editor. That gentlemen dived into his
pocket and produced q shining half dol
lar. The entire staff contributed, and a
small amount Of money was realized.
The reporter who had first talked to the
stranger was assigned to go up to the lit
tie mans home and do what was best
with the money. AS if dazed, the man
in the flannel shirt followed him.
A short walk brought them to his
home. Strewn over the sidewalk lay the
scant household goods of the family of
two. The reporter interviewed the land
lady, while the little man sat down in
one Of his own chairs outside with a
blank look on his face.
THAT COUPLE the burly landlady was
meanwhile saying. "Why, they're the
most worthless lot around. They haven't
paid for a month, and tonight l just put
their things out in the street. The wife?
Oh, she was taken sick or something, and
they carried her to the hospital in an
ambulance"
To the hospital the reporter rushed,
leaving the husband still sitting in a
chair on the walk. The house surgeon
came to the door. 'This case from 30
D. street," he asked. Dead; died 10
lack of care, together with exposure. In
plain English" cheerfully explained the
doctor, ''that is starvation. Look at the
book if you like"
Then the reporter broke the news to
the bereaved husband and returned to
the office.-New York Press.

A New Fad.

Certain society girls have carried with
them constantly this season pretty little
ivory covered notebooks with gold pen
ellis attached by means Of fine gold chains.
At any of the fashionable gatherings of
the winter they would be occasionally
discovered in all sorts of out of the way
places hurriedly joting down items that
excited much curiosity as to their ma
ture. Such secrecy was observed, how
ever, that only recently have the true
facts leaked out. Each book contains
365 pages-one for every day in the year
and under the proper date is neatly re
corded every complimentary speech from
the opposite sex received by the owner.
IF the girls compare notes, they will I'M
-doubtedly discover many duplicates, and
many gallants will be at a loss to ac-
count for a sudden GOODNESS on the part
Of some of their lady friends.-New York

The Safe Path.

I read Of q minister of the gospel who
was very fond Of climbing among the
Swiss mountains. One day he was climb
ing among very dangerous places and
thought himself all alone when he heard
q voice beneath him say: Father, look
out for the safe path ] am following. -
And he looked back, and he saw that he
was climbing not only for himself, but
climbing for his boy. Oh, let us be sure
and take the safe path! Our children are
following; our partners in business are
following; our neighbors are following;
a great multitude stepping right on il
our steps. Oh, be sure and take the right
path! Exhibit a Christian example and
so by your godly walk compel the peo-
pie to come in.
I think there is work also in the way
Of kindly admonition I do not believe
there is q person in this house who, if
approached in o kindly and brotherly
manner, would refuse to listen. If you
are rebu@ed, it is because you lack in
tact and common sense But, oh, how
much effective work there is in the way
OF kindly admonition! There are thou
sands of men all around about you who
have never had one personal invitation
to the cross. Give that one invitation,
and you would be surprised at the alac-
sity with which they would accept it.
I have a friend, Christian physi-
clan, who one day became very anxious
about the salvation Of brother zphysi-
clan, and SO he left his Office, went
down to this mans cllce and said, rs

young man waiting. ''The doctor is not
in. = We'll" said this physician,

The Cheese Mite.

It appears that the cheese mite under

g ''hypopus' stage. The mite, original
" soft and easily killed by heat or ex-
posure, in this stage suddenly becomes

and also to live a long time without
food. It is also then provided with spe
cial adherent organs, SO that attached

An Italian Idea.

From the American AgriculturSt.
Two Italian hoticulturists pro-
pose to prevent the loss of ammo
MIA from stable litter and other or
ganic manures by mean of sulphur
ic acid, employed in the form of a
composition, which they call
arotol. This is formed by pouring
sulphuric acid on dry sawduSt,
chopped straw or similar vegetable
substance. Great heat is evolved,
and when that SUBSIDIES the charred
vegetable matter or charcoal is
dried and reduced to powder. This
powder is freely sprinkled on the
manure and arrests fermentation.
Strict precautions are necessary in
its preparation to guard against
the corrosive action of the acid.

Mistakes of Breeders.

Lack or knowledge of the char
acteristics of the breeds has caused
many failures. The country is full
of farmers who have used the Jer-
sew breed to improve their herds
with the view of increasing the
flow of milk, and this mistake has
occurred with those who make a
speciality Of shipping milk to the
cities. AS the Jersey is not noted
for large yields of milk many Of
those who made the experiments
became dissatisfied and refused to
further improve. Before using a
breed the farmer should determine
for what purpose he intends to use
it, and should therefore aim to Sc
cure the breed most suitable for
his object.

A Forty Eight-Rour Working weel

From the London Court Journal.
The Government employees at
Portsmouth, Chatham, Sheerness,
Deptford, Davenport and Pembroke
on Monday began working under a
scale which establishes an average
working week of forty-eight hours.
The rates of pay have, of course,
been readjusted in proportion, but
no change has been made in the
overtime rates. This seems wise
provision, for If shorter working
day is to mean employment Of
more people, overtime must be
discouraged. Now the hours are
fifty per week, but in December
and January they will come down
as low as forty-two. The duration
OF the working day on Saturday is
five hours throughout the year.
