Whenever the Princess Of Wales grows
weary Of tho stiif fOrmalities OF life, she
visits her papa and her mamma, and Il b
the same with the Dowager Empress OF
! Russia. During the life Of the late Gear
these visits TO his father and M0ther-in-law
were his only relaxation. With them he
felt fairly safe from the fear Of being dy-
namited, and with this terrible burden lift
ed from his mind, he romped and play like
big boy.
There are always number Of young
princes and processes stopping at the
Kings palace, and the late Gear entered
into their juvenile sports with bOister0us
pleasure. He was possessed of immense
physical strength, and he liked to display
It all times. One 1T his favOrlte amuse-
ments was to stand In the center OF . big
crowd of these princes and peincesses, and
invite them all to jump on him and try to
force him to the ground. The play was
pretty rough at times, as his numerous rel
atives were not overawed by his great title,
but the harder they thumped him about the
more he enjoyed 1t.

OF Interest to Dairymen.

The department of Agriculture has pub
lished as Its latest farmers bulletin an in
teresting and valuable paper by Charles s.
Plumb, professor Of animal industry and
dairying in Purdue university. ON the sub
ject of silos and silage. This document
will be found especially interesting by the
dairymen of the country, as it gives COM
plete analysis Of the uses OF the silO, and
the selection and culture of silage crops
that are of the greatest utility to dairymen.
The paper gives q historical account of the
use Of the silo from the earliest
times ard the results that have been at
tanned by the best experiments In several
states In this country. The paper also
gives some directions with reference to the
construction of silos and methods of filling
and also some comments on the compost
ton and feeding value Of silage, including
results with dairy cattle, beef auimals,
horses. sheep and swine. The paper Is H.

process of constructing and filling the
same. This silo Is highly commended by
Prof. Plumb. Various plans for construct
ing silos and the best materials to be used
are fully discussed. Tables are presented
by Prof. Plumb concerning the composition
aud feeding value OF silage OF different
varieties, and from these tables he deducee
the fact that .'m0re digestable food per
acre is secured from green fodder than
from silage than from field cured fodder. "
As an illustration of the utility Of silage
feeding among dairy cattle. Prot. Plumb
mentions the following experiment at the
Wis. station: AT the Wis, station daily
ration OF four pounds Of hay and seven
pounds Of grain with corn silage, or field
cured corn fodder was fed to twenty cows
for ssxteen weeks, During the .ilage feed
ing 10, 013 pounds Of milk were produced
and 10, SOL during the corn fodder feeding
Taking into account the areas Of land from
which the fodder and silage corn were
produced, It Is shown that the silage would
have produced 243 pounds more milk per
acre than the dry fodder, or this equivalent
Of twelve pounds Of butter, gain Of slight.
~ over 5 per In favor Of the silage."
The results at experiments at various
stations throughout the country are gwen,
and PrUf. Plumb sums up the testimony q
follows: The popularity OF the sllo with
owners Of dairy cattle has increased very
greatly. Few owners Of stock Of this class
who have properly builtssil0s and we'll pre-
served silage, would discard sllage as "a
adjunct to feeding. Silage certainly pro-
notes milk dow. One great argument Ia
favor Of Its use lies In the cheapness OF
production per ton and the ability to store
and secure . palatables nutritious food TN
weather conditions that would seriously In.
lure hay or dry fodder" The paper gives
complete information Is to the uses OF the
silo and instructions in the feeding Of
silago to prodoce the best results.

MANY BEAUTIES IN THE FAMILY.
Lady Helen comes from q stock that
has given England many beauties.
Her great-grandmother on her mother's
side was known as "the beautiful Miss
Linley," and became the wife Of Rich
ard Brinsley Sheridan, author OF the
Rivals" himself q very g0od-l0oktng
man. Other descendants OF Sheridrn
noted for their beauty were Lady Sey-
mour, afterwsrd Duchess Of Somer-
set, ct one time Englrnd's crowned
queen Of Beauty" and the mother Of
the present Marquis Of Du6erin. And
all these women not only inherited the
good looks for which their brilliant
ancestor was noted, but olso some,s at
least, Of the wit that made his fame.
Lady Helen Vincent was the bright
est Of the Duncombe sisters and did
not make the mistake Of marrying for
love and position alone, like her late
sister, the Dutchess OF Leinster. Her
Grace, while in the flesh, was always
hard pressed for money, and was very
glad Of the several hundred pounds
per year which the enormous sales Of
her photographs yielded her. Sir
Edgar Is millionaire and Is growing
richer every day.

Negiecting a Duty Which Ought to be
Done Now.
On general principles there Is no
more foolish method OF taking life
easy than by deferring an obvious
duty. Especially foolish is the per
son who postpones the work OF cleans
ing his blood. There are many rea-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea
son. and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing is due TO a vitiated condition of the
vitNl fluid. The pimples and other
eruptions which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled at
once. In no other way can health be
maintained. Now there is but n true
blood purifier prominently In the pub
lie eye to-day. and that Is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. by taking n few bottles or
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up so
that when the warn weather comes
the system will be able to- resist the
debiiiating effects of he heated sea
SOL. Those who start with good health
In the spring, given them by a thor
ough cleansing of the blood by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known ut that season before. The
work Of cleansing the blood In the
spring Is one Of the most important
duties of the season, because pure
blood means good health, and good
health Is essential both TO happiness
and to the highest usefulness In the
world.

Tigers are frequently found fast asleep

been known to track them after a kill"
TO the place in which they were lying
fast asleep and gorged with food and to
shoot them as they lie. When taking

is little disturbed the tiger does 0 al
ways retire to a place Of security, like

Language Of a Dogs Tail.

1t is no doubt a startling conclusion,
but DIR. Louis Robinson, who has been
investigating the mysteries of canine
language, has practically set up the
theory that a dog speaks with his tail
tip. In the case of all hunting dogs
which pack together the tail is carried
aloft and is very free in movement.
There is no doubt that fox hounds habit
ually watch the tails of those in front of
them when drawing a covert. If a
faint drag is detected, suggestive Of the
presence Of a fox, but not sufficient to
be sworn to vocally, the tail of the finder
is set in motion, and the warmer the
scent the quicker does it wag. Others
seeing the signal instantly join the first,
and there is an assemblage of waving
tails before ever the least whisper is
heard. Should the drag prove adoubt-
full one the hounds separate again and
the waving ceases, but if it grows
stronger when followed up the wagging
becomes more emphatic, until one after
another the hounds begin to whine and
give tongue and stream off in Indian
tile along the line OF scent. When the
pack is at full cry upon n strong seen.
the tails cease to wave, but are carried
aloft in full view. -Lond0n Dispatch.
