The "Slippery Elm" Crop.
Philadelphia Press.

Il Il -
The gathering of the slippery elm crop
of the New York and New Jersey dairy
farms begins early in February and con-
tinues until well along in May. TIL work
is at it's greatest activity during March
and April.
1t may surprise a great many people to
know that much Of the canned chicken
they buy ard not a small portion of the
chicken salad they order at restaurants or
take advantage of as free lunch are canned
chicken and chicken salad only by CONNER
cial courtesy. They are in reality simply
the compounded results of the slippery
elm product Of the dairy farms. This is not
the slippery elm Of grateful poultice fame
and of far-reaching popularity as the glib
"cud" of the rural small boy.
This slippery elm does not belong to the
vegetable world. 1t is OF the animal king
donna member Of the animal kingdom as
calIow as callow can be and more slippery
than the oyster. 1t is calves-calves so
young that they have scarcely had time to
become frightened at the first sound of
their voices. Slippery elm is the pleasing
and suggestive term by which these calves
are known technically among the producers
and harvesters of the crop.
They are more widely known, perhaps, as
bob veal.

NICTORIA'S EARLY DAYS.
Events That Followed Immediately
on the Death of William ".

n ehlSHlly INSNlSW.
William " was dead. The Archbishop of
Canterbury and Lord Conyngham were dis
patched to inform the Princess Victoria of
the fact. 1t was a warm night in June.
The Princess was sleeping in her mothers
room, her custom from childhood, and had
10 be summoned out Of her sleep. The mes
sengers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors from
that which was inhabited by the Duchess
of Kent and her daughter. The young girl
entered alone, in her night dress, with some
loose wrap thrown hastily about her. The
moment she was addressed as Your Maj
eSty' she put out her hand, intimatfng that
the lords who addressed her were TO kiss
IL and thereby do homage Her schooling
and her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self-possession combined with perfect
modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at IL o'clock in the
morning, the child Queen met her Council.
In the corridor at Windsor there Is a pic
ture which commemorate the event. Never.
ii has been said by an eye witness, was
anything like the first impression she pro-
duced, or the chorus of praise and admira-
ton which was raised about her manner
and behavior, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and ineXperience, and
the ignorance of the world concerning her
for she had lived in complete seclusion-
excited interest and curiosity.
Asked whether she would enter the room
accompanied by the great officers of state,
she said she would come in alone. Accord
ingly. when all the lords of the Privy Coun-
ell were assembled, the folding doors We're
thrown open and the Queen entered, quite
plainly dressed ana IN mourning, ana look
her seat for the first time, a young girl
among a crowd of men, including all the
most famous and powerful of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed 10
her by the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne,
in a clear and firm voice, and then took
the oath for the security of the church OF
Scotland.
Immediately the Privy Councillors were
sworn; the royal Dukes OF Cumberland and
Sussex first, by themselves. 1t was observed
that as these two old men, her uncles,
knelt before her, swearing allegiance, she
bluShed up TO her eyes, as IL she felt the
contrast between their civil and natural re
lations. Her manner was very graceful and
engaging, and she kissed them both, and,
rising from her chair, moved toward the
J Duke Of Sussex. who was too inftrm to
reach her.
