ANECDOTES OF The QUEEN.

he Approved of a Trouncing That Was
la4 Administered to Wales.
Apropos of the queens recent sojourn
t Balmoral q north of Scotland news
'aper has been cleaning from among
he Deeside peasantry some new stories
bout her majesty's early visits to her
Highland residence. One of these re-
ates to the boyhood of the prince of
Wales, says the Scottish American.
The prince on one occasion, when he
lad temporarily escaped from the sur
reliance of the parental eye, played a
rick on q young country lad whom he
saw approaching with basket of eggs
IN his arm, the result of the trick being
20 break all or most of the eggs The
sad was tough Aberdonian and could
not brook this injury, SO he turned to,
and, doubling his fists, gave the prince
a thrashing, in spite of the latter's pro-
test that he was the prince of Wales.
Prince an a though We be- said
the boy, '.ye'd nae business tae break
my cggs.'' just then the queen APP
peared, having seen part of the fray
She quietly said: 'sYou are quite right,
my lad; he had no right to break your
eggs, and he richly deserves what you
have given him." Her majesty after
ward made inquiries about the boy and
sent him to school at her own expense.
Another story relates to her majesty's
visit to the cottagers in the neighbor-
hood. On one occasion, when she. had
been making calls among the cottage
women, she dropped in, on her way
back to the castle, at the house of an
old woman who did not know her
visitor. The old lady was both talk
ative and querulous, and, referring to
a fete at which the queen had been
present that day, complained about
people, including her own household,
'1.u1Esiag like mad to see a common
clay 1yc.1an.'' Her grievance was that
she had 20 wait till her folks returned
in order to get her tea, for she was too
feeble to mako it herself

An interesting operation was witnessed
recently at Bradford, England, when DIR.
Frederick Lchncr's process of making ar
tificial silk was shown to number of ex-
perts and others. The idea is not abso-
lutcly novel, but DR.. Lehner has arrived
at happy solution of the difficulties in
volved in tho process and appears to have
produced q substance remarkable both for
its texture and glossy appearance. The
silk fibers were made up into various
goods, such rs trimmings, gimp, sewing
silk, handkerchicfs and lengths of the ma
terial, the effect being excellent. Another
merit of the artificial silk is that it will
stand washing and ironing without any
alteration in it's color or texture. The proc
ess through which the silk passes before
arriving at its finished state of perfection
is in the beginning purely chemical, the
vegetable fiber being by means of acids
and alkalis converted into cellular tissue.
The second part is mechanical and con-
sists in spinning the long threads into the
textures. This latter process is automatic
and once started goes on without inter
ruption. The experts to whom samples Of
the silk and estimates of the cost have been
submitted have testified that the materials
are of good substance and quality, and
the cost of production is very moderate.
