WALES ABROAD.
Paris Always Welcomes Him With Open
Arms.

The Prince of Wales is almost a bou-
levardier. His visits to Paris for some
years have been shorter and less fire.
quent. He is the most popular prince
of his time in France They used to
say that if he were pretender, we might
expect a restoration Of the monarchy.
He must be like the duchess of Kent,
who had a deal of human nature Of a
kindly, healthy sort, and was fond, al
most to the degree of mania, of maxi
ing presents. The prince is always buy
ing jewelry to give away, and hardly
ever buys anything for himself in Rue
de la PaiX shops. He is quite free from
self-consciousness, is naturally affable,
and lets nature lead him. It has been
tact is never at fault. He never makes
one feel he is the prince Of Wales, and
never let's one forget it. Yet he is ur-
yielding on points Of precedence. The
prince is ocardier without being a jim
go. He stands by his colonies and
tulHhS tut hluSuOlll VI Ill5Iduu do eooON
as no matter what empire. At the ex-
hibition ceremonies in 1878 he always
walked abreast with Marshal MacMa-
hon, then head of the state. How he
did exert himself to give lustre to the
British section at that exhibition!
The English require Of the prince a
life Of busy idleness, dinner-eating phil
an.hropy and publicity. He does what
he can to satisfy them, and always
with a good grace. One wonders how
he has kept so much freshness and
COOL kumor. A less natural and genial
person must have long ago become mo-
rose or an unsympathizing "stick." A
society OF selfish and mutually repul-
sive units needs him to give them CO.
hesion. He is constantly going among
them to render that service. They are
material as they can be. What a mis-
fortune to be their central persorage!
Is it to lie wondered at if they never
seek to catch his sociable qualities or
lis unaffected heartiness? But the
gaHters, the patent leather boots, the
gardenia In the button-hole, the red
cravat are copied. What is astonish-
ing Is that the prince remains anus

vived in the man. comes out more fire.

To prevent wear of the edges of books
from sliding over shelves a number of
metal rollers are set in a frame and
are pushed back on the shelves, or an
endless web may be carried by two
rollers for the same purpose.

Tools for cyclers' use are placed in a
handy position for use by new holder

two sections and hinged to a central
frame attached to the wheel, the oppo-
site sides of the box dropping into a

hold the tools.
To assist cyclers in climbing hills a
brace and back support has been de-
signed, which is formed Of straps ex-
tending around the waist and over the
shoulders, a clamp being placed on the
head of the wheel, which holds the end

A Modern Cavalry Charge.

AS the opposing forces approach the
gallop is given, and closer and closer
they come. The old brigadier is I'M
front, motioning back his men with his
sabre so as to keep them steady and
together. Suddenly and Simultaneous
ly on both sides, the charge Is sound
ed
The two cavalries approach each 9TH
er like thunderbolts, each man pressed
on by those In the rear; the second line
is trying to force its way into the first,
and then-they meet.
The bursting of the two waves rem
ders one mighty crash to heaven. The
dust thickens, and under this heavy
pail of death all knowledge of events is
lost The cloud sways backwards and
forwards for full five minutes, when
an officer In command of our reserves
spies an opening; then in he goes, and
the enemy is literally hurled back. The
victors stagger forward, Keeling like a
drunken man.
With marvellous rapidity the enemy
have recovered; our officers are lit
orally beating their men into some sort
of formation, shouting, absolutely
shrieking with excitement the while
The troopers rise in their stirrups and
swear-well, like troopers. Then at
them again; this time they make no
mistake, but drive the enemy entirely
from the field.
The result, they have opened out a
way to examine the enemy; a dozen
miles farther, and they will see the in
fantry of his advance guard, and know
to a slight extent what he is doing. It
is as though they had torn a veil off a
woman's face, or unmasked villain.
Hello! / thought 1 heard some one
say cavalry were of no use nowadays;
well, perhaps / was mistaken. In half
day, or less, our general-in-chief will
know all about the enemy that we can
find out That is to say, that he will
be fully conversant with his move
ments at least twenty-four hours be-
fore he knows anything worth knowing
about us.-Pall Mall Magazine.
