an English schoolboy who was the other
day invested with the honors and insignia
OF crown prince of Siam, in place of an
elder brother who had died His name.
Chowta Maha Vadjira Vudh, is rather n
hard nlouthful, but its owner is quite a
pleasant little chap, judging from his smiI-
ing portrait.
A number of Siamese grandecs came
over to England to perform this agreeable
ceremony, which must have been an enioy-
able one to the youthful prince. For. be-
side the inevitable speech, il consisted of
decorating him with the gold chain. the
Jeweicd collar and yellow sash of the royal
order OF the White Elephant. To him was
presented also a commission as lieutenant
OF the kings body guard, two ancient and
magnificently jewelcd swords which are
the badges of the crown prince of Siam.

Dspa ON Journalism.

Now. Mr.. Greeley is my great cxempiar
in Journalism. He thought newspaper
man was of little use who did not know
inst the number of votes in every township
i'm the state of New York and in every Not-
inc nrecinct and who could not tell wheth-
ar Tive ret,.-,,s from the second district OF
Pound Ridge. in Wcstchestcr county, were
CORRECTLY reported or not without sending
to rho place to find out how many votes
had really been cast. That was one of his
great poirsss of distinction and success, but
/ would not advise you to labor after that
sort of kn )wledge unless you have inherit
cd a natm al talent for it. But you shouid
understand and appreciate the theory OF
the American government. You should
know where this republic began, where
it came from and where it belongs IL the
history OF mankind and what part il is
destined t, play in tho vast drama of ru-
man existence That is the sort of pol
itics that must appeal to any Intelligent
man and tnat will surely test his utmost
powers.
: And while we are on this point we may
say in passing that an American who
thinks another country is better than this
should not 90 into Journalism. You must
be for the stars and stripes every time, OF
the people of this country won't be foryou,
and you won't sell enough papers to pay
your expcn,es.-Charlcs a. Dana III bic

May in the Poultry Yard.

1t you have not already hatched all the
chickens you intend to this year, do it this
month without fail. This Is natures time
for reproductions eggs will be fertile now.
IL ever, ana the chicks, if given a fair
chance, will thrive and grow as in no
other month in the year. The new and
tender grass, and the insects and worms
are plentiful, and if eiven their liberty
the chicks Will find for themselves a large
and the most important part of their liy-
ing. One can almost see them grow.
1t is very important, us the weather gets
warmer, that both coops and chicks be
kept absolutely clean and free from lice.
you cannot afford to raise chicks to feed
swarm of lice with. There will be many
sudden showers and possibly u cold rain
this month; see that there is handy
place into which the chicks NAV run
The cockerels, if old enough to distin.
guish. should be separated from the flock
md pushed ahead for all the growth they
can make, and sold for bruilers when
about twelve weeks old The bullets
should be kept thriftily growing. and
hat is all. DO not force them, let them
oome to maturity under natural condi-
lions, but do not let them stop growing
single day.
II the henhouse has not been clcanfd

pared from the field and do it. Not to

1t Will do both good. Nature seems to
iave taken the most of the work pertain

A DIMES WORTH OF DATES.

That delicious dried fruit the date, Is,
as far as observation goes, quite rarely

the latter. A box of dates, If put in a

The Lake of Blood,

Every polar expedition and whaling yes
sci which visits the Baflin bay region puts
in Mt Yaureke bank, so as to allow cxplor-
ers and scaIncn to visit the celebrated Lake
of Blood. OF it the author of "My sum
mer in the North says: "It is a lake of
considerable extent, lying only few feet
above the level OF the sea, and appears Of a
deep -. rk blood red. Careful examination
proved, however, that the water itself WAS
as pure and clear as possible, the red effect
being due 10 the fact that the bottom and
sides OF the lake, as well as the few stones
which were scattered about in it, were
coated most perfectly with the red snow
plant. In some places, where the water
had cvaporatcd, the withercd rcd plants on
the soil and rocks looked exactly like dried
