Prince Charlie,

He was q young Prince Charming,
beautiful, brave, capable Of enduring
hardships and, till his misfortune soured
him, not only kind, but Of an uncom-
mon and almost impolitic humanity.
Well might Walton, the spy, pronounce
him, with the blood Of John Sobieski in
his veins, "a far more dangerous enemy
to the present establishment Of the gov
eminent in England than ever his IA
ther was"
In those days, when "a king Of some
sort was a necessity, England seemed to
have in Charles a king born to be
adored. But the tendency Of things wa
invincibly against him. He appears, I
own to myself, to have had better quail
tiles than>any man of his line since the
fourth James fell at Flodden. There
was nothing in his Scotch expedition,
till the fatal morrow of Culloden, that
did not become a gentleman and a king.
The Cameronians, a feeble, but virulent
remnant Of the auld leaven of the COW
enant, publicly blamed his foolish
lenity and pity" to the "redcoats whom
Providence put into his hands"
If his courage is accused, SO has that
Of Marlborough been, and the evidence
Of Malcolm Mcleod, "never was a man
not a coward so prudent, nor a man not
rash SO brave" may be taken as dispos-
ing Of a childishly m%alevolent accusa-
ton. He was gentle and c~onsiderate till
misfortune taught him suspicion and
hope deferred made the heart sick. The
exposure, which he bore SO CALAMITY in
the highlands, and the habits Of thas
country, taught him his fatal vice, which
corrupted and debased a character nat
urally noble and generous. -Scribner'.'

An Imagination.

When a Third street man came into
the house the other evening, they were
manipulating something in the kitchen
that filled the halls with an odor which
could scarcely be called sweet.
"Whew!" he exclaimed to his wife.
"What the mischief is that that smells
so?"
why" responded the wife, who had
got used to it, "it's nothing but your
imagination"
well, I guess not, he said indig-
nantly. IT I had an imagination that
smelled like that, I'd take it out and
have it disinfected at once" detroit

NECKTlES ALWAYS NEW.

Mr. Feathers Learns the Secret Of Mr..
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.
Il am somewhat curious by nature"
said Mr.. Feathers recently, land some
time ago l was struck by the remarkable
number Of new neckties worn by young
Mr.. Ginks, who sits opposite me at our
boarding house table. I proceeded to
study them, and after a week or two l
discovered that they were not only al.
ways smooth and fresh, but that their
appearance was regulated according to
their hues. For two days he would wear
q black and gray tie, for instance. Then
a black Powered red ground affair would
creep out from his bosom, and then two
or three more combinations would be
worm. At last I could restrain myself
no longer, and I asked Ginks to explain
to me his necktie system. He looked
mysterious and beckoned me to a Sc
cluded corner.
Mr.. Feathers, he said earnestly,
i feel that / can confide in you thor.
oughly. The scarfs you have SO kindly
admired are five in number and are all
l have. wear one until it gets soiled,
and then drop it in gasoline outside of
my window. After the liquid has evap-
Grated l take the scarf in, and every sign
of dirt has disappeared. By doing this
in rotation with the five ties l keep up
al appearance that would cost more
than l could afford if l depended upon
new ones
Il thanked the young man for his
very interesting information" said Mr..
Feathers in conclusion, land I do not
doubt that many others like him know
the value Of gasoline as a cleansing ar.
ticle and put it to good use. l hope
they all use it in the open air, however,
as it is a very volatile and inf1ammable
liquid and is liable to explode if exposed
in a room where there is q gas light or
n fire. "-Washington Star.

sensation among the members present.
Edmund Cook, of Wilmot, replied to
Mr.. Greene, and denounced his accusa-
.tions in most bitter terms, stating that
the senator would be justified in bring
lng an action for libel against Mr.. Greene
and that he wished to withdraw from
the association.
The members Of the association feel
very bitter towards Senator Kyle for the
reasons stated by Mr.. Greene, but they
did not deem it wise to denounee him

SWEET POTATOES.
Some Interesting Facts About Their CuI-
tivation and Use.


tivation and Use.
The sweet potato is most commonly
propagated by means of buds from
roots planted in hotbeds, and the
shoots as they develop are planted in
the field. Cuttings from these vines
are often rooted and transplanted for
the main crop. The plant rarely ma
lures seed in the United States. Ninety
days after the sets are transplanted
early varieties will be ready to dig for
use. The best growth is made in
warm, sandy, well-drained, and even
dry soil. The greatest care in harvest-
ing is necessary to pre- vent bruising the
roots in handling, for the skin is very
tender and wounded roots are sure to
decay. They are best preserved by
being kept in temperature of seventy
five degrees for a fortnight after dig-
ging, and then lowering the tempera-
ture and keeping it during the winter!
at from fifty to sixty degrees in dry
atmosphere. +
Rather more than two-thirds of the
weight of the sweet-potato root is
water. Three pounds of the roots af-
ford as much dry matter as one pound
of corn, out only about half as much
protein. On sandy soil, however, more
dry matter to the acre can be secured
with a crop of sweet potatoes than
with crop of corn. The young leaves
and tender sprouts of the plant are
sometimes prepared and eaten like
spinach, and the vines. although they
are usually left to decay in the field,
can be proitably used as food for cat
tie. They are better fed green than
cured into hay, and they cannot be-
successfully made into ensilage.-N. Y

BILE. When it is hot it is very hot.
Some time, between March and Octo-
Der, there is a continuous spell of hot
weather that causes an increase in
profanity. Then it is hot, hotter, hot
test, Hottentot, Hottentotter, Hottetot-
est, hot as one oven, hot as two ovens,
hot as = blazes. In the dog days the
New York weather is beastly.
We have to contend with three dis
tinct brands of heat, and, consequently,
the mean temperature is very mean in
deed. First of all there is the direct
heat that comes straight from the
bright orb that hangs resplendent in
the blue vault above. This is rein
forced by the reflected heat from the
paved streets and the rock and brick
houses. But the most insidious and
diabolical heat of all crawls up from
the kitchens under the sidewalks. It
is aromatic with the flavor of fried on
ions and other tempting viands. When
all these different heats are saturated
with eighty-fve per cent. of humidity,
you feel as if breat tbs of fresh air were
being sold at auction, and everybody
was outbidding you.
The next thing to be done is to get
out of town as suddenly as possible.
Those who do not keep their elbows
perfectly straight are apt to get sum
struck, hence there is an old-fashioned
exodus whenever it is sultry.
There is any n1mber of inland re-
sorts in the vicinity of New York, but
the fact is that while they are destitute
of the comforts and conveniences of
large city, the temperature is not much
lower, so the average Gothamite makes
a bee line for the Atlantic ocean, where
it is always cool and refreshing. In
other words, he goes to Coney Island,
in which term are included the resorts
of Manhattan beach, Brighton and
Coney Island proper, or rather improper,
judging by the number of arrests that
are made for violating the excise law
and some other laws.
Manhattan beach consists of large
hotel, a splendid music pavilion, a bath
house, a bicycle track, and that is about
all. Everything, except the low, sad
moan of the sea is very high. The

BEES FORM FRIENDSHIPS.

Experience Of a Young Man to Whom
They Took Liking.
81 always loved bees" said the young
man in gold-bowed glasses behind the
dairy counter as he handed down a
honeycomb for the inspection of an
idle customer. When l was on the
farm" he continued, ''T could go all
about the hives and not get stung, and
none of the others dared go near the
bees. We used to have an old farmer
come around and tend to the swarms,
but one day when l was boy work
Ing in the fields / heard great hum
ming noise up in the air and saw a
swarm a-coming. Well, picked up a
tin pan that was there and hammered
On it till the bees settled on the end of
fence rail. Then 1 thought could
tend to the swarm as we'll as the old
farmer, so got an old hive, washed it
put with honey and water, rubbed my
hands and arms with burdock juice
and honey water and went at the
bees. 1 got them off that rail by the
handful and they never stung me.
''After that I regularly tended to
the bees. Whenever there was a
swarm rolled up my sleeves, took off
my shoes and hat and went at them I
have taken them from all sorts of
places, but 1 was stung only once.
They'd light on my head by the dozen
and crawl through my hair. That
used to send cold chills down my back.
Sometimes my arms were so covered
with bees that from wrist to elbow you
couldn't see the flesh. The one time
when I was stung / had found a swarm
On a high limb and was saving it off
and at the same time holding on to
it so that it should not fall to the
ground with the bees. In doing this
squeezed one of the bees and it flew
straight at my temple and stung me
Just above the eye. Since | left the
farm the folks have given up the bee
business. There's no doubt about it,
bees like some folks and hate others,
and don't know any reason for the
difference. IN. Y. Sun.

SHEEP FOR BEGINNERS.
Best Time to Buy, According to This
Writer, Is in the Fall.

Writer, Is in the Fall.
It is easy to muddle the novice with
! variety of advice, and to get away
from the possibility of doing that l
wish to offer the following hints as the
most valuable and concise that occur
to me. Study your farm conditions and
learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it. If you are not able to
purchase even a small flock of pure
bred or high grade sheep, then put all
you eau advantageously in pure bred
ram, and after that do the best you
can in buying ewes Start right, even
upon a small scale. The sheep will
rapidly increase. Ia purchasing ram
get one fully developed, strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
of his breed and sex. l have always
had an intuitive liking for the lamb
that will leave a group of his fellows
in the field and boldly front you. Do
not purchase sheep that you have no
trust in for proper development. 1t is
only the experienced breeder who can
forecast development. Never take an
ill-doing sheep, even if it is cheap, with
the expectation that it will become
| right. In selecting sheep, andle them
SO that you may know how much of
their form is due to themselves and
how much to the shears. Select as
critically as you can to a chosen type.
Uniformity is a cheap feature for you
to buy and yet a valuable one in
flock. There is no sheep that embodies
perfection in sheep qualities. Judging
between different sheep is checking
Of weakness and balancing of quail
ties. Be inclined toward the sheep
that appears better every time it
catches your eye. The purchaser will
find it to his interests to select from
the field fitted for show. The best
time to buy is usually in the fall. Pro-
vision may be made with the seller to
have the ewes served by ram of diff
ferent breeding from the one you buy,
and thereby you add another seasons
use to the ram of your fCck.-J. A.
Craig, in Colman's Rural World.
