one OF the wholesale merchants, prices on
most lines OF goods are at the bottom fig

where prices are now lower than ever be-

kets are all easier and prices weak in tone.
The provision market also carries an easy
tone. Poultry. eggs and butter are steady

HOW. WALES MET THE PRINCESS.

There is n more than usually interesting
article in the London Woman at Home,
illustrated by fifty portraits, on the life
Of the Princess of Wales. OF the first
meeting of the prince n his future
bride, we read that the Prince Of Wales
was Willing away a long summer after
noon with W or three congenial spirits,
young men of rank sufficiently near his
own as to make discussion of private
affairs possible, when the approaching
marriage of one of the gentlemen became
the topic of conversation.
He drew from his pocket a photograph,
as he supposed, of his ~iancee, to show 1t
to his companions, but produced instead
the carte-de-visite of a charming girl,
wearing a simple white gown and a loose
white Jacket, with a black velvet ribbon
around her throat, and her hair smoothed
back from her brow, leaving the beauti-
full young face in its simple l~ove'iness.
When the prince saw the picture he
asked who his lovely country" eirl
might be, and received the answer, 1.-THE
daughter of the Prince of Denmark
The prince now contrived to waive off
the German matrimonial alliance which
was being projected for him, and, telling
his secret to n confidential fr'e"d, dis
missed him with credentials to tho court
of Denmark to ascertain If the princess
was as lovely as her picture represented
her TO be.
A glowing accounted the princess was
forthwith dispatched to the anxious
young gentleman at Windsor, who lost
no time in acquainting his royal mother
with the fact that he was deeply cram
ored with a young lady whom as yet he
had not had the felicity Of meeting, The
result was that the future lovers caught
the first glimpse of each other in the
cathedral at Worms.

LONDON IN TIE PAST.


-
Independent.
Some eight years ago when ] was In
London for the first time, Women did not
ride on the TOP of buses; that is, not all
women. They might ride inside If they
did not MIND suffocating; but only the
lower class ever climbed to the roof. 1t
was a climb in those days. But all this
Is now changed, and the bus tops have
as many women as men on them. A
well-built little stairway run to tre top;
and, IL the conductor does not give the
signal to start before you get to your
seat, you accomplish the a7cent with case
and grace. At first you may be a little
awkward, and, II you have an umb ella
in one hand and q parcel in the o her,
you are apt to trip over your skirt. v h'ch
makes you grit you teeth or sigh for q
bicycle costume. Practice, however, sur-
mount many difficulties, and you VIII
soon learn to run UP and down the stairs
with the agility of a sailor on a rope
ladder. You finally become so acc"m-
plished that you don't lose your balance
even though the bus starts while you
are yet climbing the stairs. There are
ratings everywhere, not only a'ong the
stairway, but at the back of the seats;
and If you clutch one in time your con-
fdence as well az vour ea-ilih-'um is
liIlIIltbldltly ItSlOIths vi Jul SOh
meet all sorts and conditions of men OH
/the bus tops, but you don't T'nd I al in
the open air. The men smoke pipes.
That's WhatstEey get up there for; and
the women do well If thcv get the front
seats, for then they rave only the divers
smoke to dodge. Sometimes he doesn't
smoke: then they are in luck f"~ The
front seat of a London bus is as eXlilar-
ating a place as the PROV Of a ship You
are away up above the crowd, and you
can dc what you can't do from a haosom
cab, unless you are the driver; you can
see over the garden walls. London
from the bus tops Opened uD a new
world to me, a world behind the garden
walls, among the window boxes and the
flower gardens. Nor was that all, If I
came down to oxford street alnng Hyde
Park terrace at about II O'Clock, ! got
glimpses of dainty breakfast tables. OF
cleaning silver, of steam'ng teapots and
toasted mullins. AS to this latter | VIII
not say positively, but it is the usual ac-
compartment of the Britieh breakfast
table with dry toast and m%armadale as a
rounding off. cor If l happened to re on
the top of a Piccadilly bus l could see
over the Duke of Devonshire's wal, which
was not n very interesting sight from
the Plccadilly side, or into Lady Pu' dett-
Coutt's breakfast room. English break
fast rooms are usually at the front of the
house, and as they are in the second
story, that is one flight up, they come
Just On about n line with the bus tops.
No one can see 1t from the s~'oe"alk,
and from the bus 1t Is the merest glimpse
and you are gone.
