Ia SPITE OF Royal Pageants She Found
Time % Play with Her Children.
The recent visit OF the German
Empress and her boys to Felixtowe
was evidently an extremely pleasant
one. A correspondent writes TO a
London paper;
The five little Princes Of FeliXtowe
won all hearts by their unaffected
boyish manners, but, now that they
are gone, no one speaks of them with
greater affection than the donley-boy
Joe, who, every afternoon, proudly
ran behind his three ileeteSt dOnkeys.

sailor suit. The Crown Prince par

insisted on his taking away. Too

other day, when riding, the Crown
Prince, trying to urge his donkey to
q faster galiop, caught Joe a good
hit across his forehead. He was so
distressed at having hurt him that he
was reduced TO tears, and it was some
time before he could be cOmforted. re-

They wanted him to go back tC Ger

TO do, and If you ask him the reason
he says he does not like going 50 far

The little fellows bathed whenever
1t was fine, and swan well one
could not help a feeling of astonish-
ment to see the way they were al
lowed to bathe-with9ut any ropes
and no one i'm the water with them.
One day as the donkey boy was lean
ing against their gate, the policeman
tried to push him away At that
moment the Empress happened to
come up, and, noticing this, She held
up her hand and said TO the policeman
in her pretty English: "You leave the
poor boy alone." At another time
Joe was on the beach. and to his sur
prise the Empress went up and shook
hands with him. lie says: Il never
felt so ashamed in my life! Why. be-

They seemed devoted TO their mother

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The asparagus fem is one OF the best
plants for decorative uses, being ex.
tremeiy graceful aud very lasting.
The sheep shoull have good dip.
ping before winter sets in; it will saya
trouble, suffering and death durin..
that season.
One of the best fertilizers for the
window garden is the coffee lett over
from breakfast. 1t should be applied
cold. Coffee grounds are often recon-.
mended, but | have found that they
have tendency TO mold.
The peIunia is very satisfactory
plant for window box. 1t is well TO
Mi a window with them, as they re-
quirea cooler room than some window
plants and plenty OF sun. Then, too.
the massed effect OF them is good.
The best palms for home growth are
the sturdy India rubber tree, the par!
Tor palm or Aspiiistra luri In, and the
zebra palm Euluii1. These are hardy,
and are easily kept clean, and wifi
stand the heat of the living room.
Nasturtiums can ,bo readily grown
IN water, the same as the ,hyacinth or
Chinese lily. The jar should be half
hlled with charcoal before the water is
poured in. The plant is started from
sIps and soon presents beautiful APP
renraLce.
The following is recommended when

yasaline or lard to Que part acetate OF

that may affect the feet through the

seem to thrive under the conditions oil

cles OF fowl, or bird, that prospers
and multiplies while surrounded by
fields, pastures and orchards. We
refer to the guinea fowl, bird that
came ID us originally from Africa.
FlaInly 1t Is OF the same family as the
grouse, pheasant and prairie chicken,
and 1t Is superior TO them inasmuch
rs 1t takes kindly to domestication.
Ga meas might be raised by the
dozen or even by the hundred, where
only few are raised to-day. They
take naturally to range, will forage
Tor a living, make their nests out in
the brush, and hatch aud raise their
young without any care to speak of on
the part of their owners.
1t would take but little effort on the
part Of the farmers OF any community
to stock their outlaying premises with

true, but so is the hesh of any other

OF the guinea as game to some extent

nEaN WITH TIE FEST STOCK.

It is very difficult for a farmer who
is inst beginning in this business, and
who finds all sorts of expenses accumu-
lating, to make up his mind to
secure only the best stock, no matter
what it cost. Yet if he really under
stands his business this is what he will
do il his purchase has to be restricted
to single animal. Breeding from
this lie can SOON stock mp to the extent
that his farm requires, and his profits
on his live stock ipcrease will DO gem

and sale of crops. 1t is the advantage
of the live stock On the farm that If

all the time made richer, and that
thus 1t will make the growing of crops

Don't WORK prFonE nRrAKrAsr

A bad custom is prevalent in many
families, especially among our farmers,
writes j. L. Jersey. 1t is the habit
OF working an hour or two before
breakfast, doing the chores, hoeing,
cutting wood, etc. This is convenient
IN many cases, but is not conducive to
health. The common notion that TIE
morning air is the purest and most
healthful is wrong, for Mt no hour is
the air moro filed with dampness and
fog than about sunrise. The heat of
the sun gradually dissipates these as
the day advances. An early meal
braces up the system against these ex-
ternal influences. - New England
