ming to build the Distant Shore, as the
new challenger will be named.
Rose is well known on the other side
as a horseman and as the owner of the
fast yacht Satanita, which was designed
by j. M. Soper, the expert who has
been commissioned to build the Distant
Shore. A number of years ago Rose was
one of the notable athletes Of Montreal.
He was a fleet runner and ranked as the
best man at mile in the vicinity of
Montreal One of his opponents was the
late G. d. Armstrong, an athlete con-
sidered one of the fastest men in Canada
inside of 600 yards during his best days.
Rose is native Of Montreal and is a
man about 40 years of age. His father
was born in Scotland, but was educated
in Canada, and there began his very
successful business career, the fruits Of
which now enable his son TO indulge in
the expensive luxury of international
yachting. Sir John Rose removed to
England about 3 years ago and assum-
ed the management of the Prince OF
Wales financial affairs in the duchy OF
Cornwall. He was shrewd business
man, and, it is said, greatly improved
the financial condition of Albert Ed
ward during his regime in Cornwall
That his son is thorough sportsman is
evidenced by the fact that his challenge
is absolutely unconditional.

Miss Felicite Oglesby, Her Common Sense
Education and Her Love Of Music.
Miss Felicite Oglesby, who will soon
wed George M. Pullman, Jr., son of
the Pullman palace car magnate, is the
only daughter of Ex-Governor Richard
J. Oglesby of Illinois. She is a very at
tractive and well educated young wom-
an of 90 and is just yeal younger than
her prospective husband. She is a
brown eyed, brown haired girl, with a
round, full face and the resolute chin of
her soldier father. She has never at
tended school, except for six months
while in Paris, and her education has
been given her by private tutors. In the
usual American way she has been fin
ished' by travel in Europe and is PAL
ticularly well versed in music. She
plays the harp and sings admirably, and
she is also an accomplished pianiste. AT
Oglehurst, the palatial home of her
father in Elkhart, Ills, harp, violin
and large pipe organ are evidences of
the love Miss Felicite and her brothers
have for music.
Like many other strong, healthy
girls, she is fond Of outdoor sports and
is a graceful and fearless horsewoman.
She plays tennis with skill, speaks

Among the many stories concerning
the intelligence displayed by elephants
few can be better than one related by
Sir William Gregory. The act was wit
messed by Sir William himself while
governor of Ceylon. Two Coburg
princes were visiting the island, and
had expressed desire to see elephants
at work. There were no elephants be-
longing to the department of public
works at Handy, where we were stay
ing, but the guardian of the tenn
pie lent us couple. They did every
thing thoy were ordered to do, with
their usual intelligence, carrying large
stones wherever they were told to
place them, fixing the chains to the
stones and unfxing them. One of
them, a tuslSer, apparently of his own
accord, performed an act which great
ly struck all of us. He was carrying q
long and very heavy stone down a
steep declivity The stone was sus-
pended from his neck by chain, and
as the chain was too long the stone
struck repeatedly against his knee. He
stopped, made what sailors call a
blight of the chain, gave it roll round
his tusk, and having thus shortened it,
carried the stone to its destination
without further discomfort. Youths

made us sit still, and wouldn't let us

"You sweet little rebels, will you be
quiet?" the silly mother whined, ap-
pealingly; but the luncheon bell ring
ing, they fed to the dining-room with
out ceremony, leaving Elsie face to face
with her employer.
I'm afraid you'll find them little
troublesome - they have such high
spirits" the great lady simpered.
"They utterly lack discipline" Elsie
said, gravely and bravely. "They
would be much happier If you would
allow the person in charge Of them
complete control Of their actions. In
fact, If they are not to be taught
wholesome obedience, shall decline at
once the Office of governess."
"Good' graciousl What an extrapr-

ming by securing the friendship and
help of this young lady--is it bar-
gain?"
And thus Elsie gained little triumph
over the illfortunc that had dogged her
footsteps. Her position, while full of
small crosses. was ameliorated by the
continued support Of the old gentleman
who had SO opportunely offered her
protection. The children, quick to APP
preciate the new state of affairs, ac-
corded their young teacher first sullen
obedience, then willing respect, and at
last, won by the evenness Of her tenn
per, and gentle, affectionate disposi-
tion, loved her with all the ardor Of
their young natures.
Long before Uncle Marcus visit came
to an end Mrs. Grindlay had begun to sec
what treasure she had in her COVER
ness; bnt Elsie's heart was troubled,
for the kind old man who had done her
such service announced his determine
ton to leave them.
~ cannot tell you, my dear" he said
on his farewell visit to the schoolroom,
chow much appreciate what you are
doing for my nicce's family. Now l
want you to feel that you have per-
manent friend in me-"
:.'For which, sir, 7 am indeed CRATE

dress will not be difficult to remember" :"
''Oh, shall never forget you"
81 wish my dear wife were near at
hand to offer you her counsel. Well,
who knows? Perhaps some day you
may come on visit with the children.
So now, good-by. God bless you, my
dear"
And he was gone.
If Elsie Whitford had heard him
chant her praises in his home in Buff
falo, she would have blushed crimson
with honest pride. According to him
there never was SO pretty, so charming,
so sensible young woman as his
niece's new governess. Mrs. Woodgrove
declared that she was getting quite
jealous of this gay Lothario of hus-
band of hers, and that divorce court
was looming up very largely In the
near future.
AYE, Grcy!" the old man chuckled,
III you could only win such girl for a
wife you'd be the luckiest dog in the
union. Tell you what, I'd good mind
to invite her down here. 1t would be
all up with you, man, If once you saw
her."

must first enjoy their respect, as to a

only be accomplished by your cordial
support"
"Ah, and what next?"
Sand that if / remained should in
sist on there be no tale bearing, no inn
pertinence, no rude conduct, no small
ness of any kind. They must be trained
to habits of neatness, gentleness and
courteous bearing"
"The most extraordinary young per-
son ever met" for the third time Mrs.
Grindlay gasped.
'And the most sensible" q mans
voice added, with loud-toned emphasis.
Theladies started in surprise, for they
had not noticed anyone's approach.
''Oh, Uncle Marcus, how you made
me jump!" Mrs. Grindlay calculated
with little move of petulance. "Why
do you come creeping in in this fash
ion?"
The newcomer was an old man with
strongly marked features, plainly
dressed, but who bore an mir Of author
ity that bade Elsie hope for an ally,
who would be able and willing to do
fend her.
"My dear Marion" the elderly man
said decisively, "you may thank your
fortune that your old uncle did come in
at this minute, for you were about to
lose an opportunity which might not
occur again in your lifetime. If you
have any regard for me you will not
hesitate to secure this young laily's
valuable services"

would do anything to oblige you, but

"Nay, no butts; let INC have my own
way in this matter. Since poor Clar-
ence's death your children have run
riot. You are, like hundreds of other
American mammas, spelling them, my
dear. Why, if they were angels instead
of little bits of human clay, you -"
"Oh, Uncle Marcus, how can you go

to promote the happiness Of the little

Curvature OF the Earth.

Generally speaking, we say that the
curvature of the earth is about seven
inches to the statute mile. More ex-
actly, it is 6. SO inches to the mile, or
1852 inches for a geographical mile.
The eye, even though artiicially as
sisted by the most improved optical
instruments, cannot possibly detect
or perceive the least iota of curvature,
though the gaze be directed from the
highest known point. This is because
the eye is not capable of comparing
heights and distances. Let US make
little experiment: Take down your
globe and place a book against its
side. You will instantly see that there
is a very small point of contact be-
tween the two. Now let us suppose
that the earth is as smooth as bill
lizard ball, and that We have a NAM
moth book or other large, fiat surface
to press against its side. At one geog-
graphical mile from the point of con-
tact the fiat surface used would stand
out nearly eight inches from the earth,
at three miles they will lack six feet
of touching, and at nine miles fifty
four feet, and SO on, the number of
feet separating the two surfaces at any
given point being equal to two-thirds
of the square of the number of miles
for any observable distance. - st.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Stations are cheap.
Developed speed is in demand.
Brood mares are selling for a song.
A sandy soil is the best location for
a poultry yard.
A few carrots or apples are excel
lent for horses.
Muddy barnyards are largely re-
sponsible for scratches
Why not cover the bits with smooth
leather for winter use?
Make the stable comfortable if you
would keep down expenses.
If sheep is kept dry it will stand
cold much better than heat.
There is a profitable market for
handsome, useful, half-bred hackneys.
If orchards are to be made profit
able, they must receive as good care
as crops.
Should you stop anywhere during
the cold days don't forget to blanket
the horse.
Be careful not to feed the colts or
horses dusty hay. The trouble can
easily be remedied by shaking out the
hay well and then dampening it.
The early purple Guigne cherry is
probably the earliest OF all cherries.
It is ripe here towards the close of

any other; and it is of good quality.

THE BEECH AS A ROADSIDE TREE.

Nurserymen propagate and trans
plant beech trees in large numbers
without experiencing any great diff
Guilty in making them grow. The
transplanting, however, is usually
done while the trees are small, or
from five to eight feet high, for
larger specimens are rather difficult to
handle, owing to their widespreading
roots. We certainly do not know of
any good reason for the almost general
neglect of the American beech, for it
is surely one of our most beautiful
and graceful trees, and SO hardy that
it thrives even far beyond the limits
OF our territory to the northward.
Small trees found in open woods and
fields may. be transplanted by giving
little care to the preservation CT the
roots, and then severely pruning the
branches before or as soon as planted.
The trees selected for street, roadsides
and parks are mainly the choice Of
nurserymen who have stock of the
quick growing and cheapest kinds. If
the beech, chestnut, walnut and hick-
DRY were planted in the streets and
parks of our cities their nuts, when
ripe and falling, would be a great
temptation to the small boy and his
sister, and this would never do in this
age of high moral culture in cities.
We advise you to plant row of beech
trees, and then enjoy thinking what a
good time the children of the neigh
borhood will have a few years hence
gathering the delicious nuts.-New
York Sun,
