Tracing the Grns.hopner

W. d. Hunter, a special agent, has
reported to DR.. Howard the entomolo-
gist Of the agricultural department, in
regard to recent statement to the eff
feet that it was considered by entomol-
ogists that the Turtle noun tain region,
in North Dakota and Montana, proba-
bly, was a permanent breeding ground
OF the destructive migratory grasshop-
per, statement which accustomed
much alarm and Indignation on the
part of railroads and other land own
ers. This region, therefore, was care
fully scrutinized by Mr. Hunter, who
reports that the migratory grasshop-
per does not breed permanently in the
Turtle mountains nor in that vicinity.
The ground is perfectly unsuited to
breeding, and, moreover, swarms de-
scending further east have been traced
from far 70 The northeast Of that place.
The probable BREEDING ground, he
thinks, is on the Assiniboine river,
north and east OF Regina.

lish people he proposed to the duke of
Lancaster that he give him one of his
daughters. The duke was pleased. 1t
would advance his plans.
II have two daughters" he said
"Philippa, who Is 20. and Catherine,
who is II. Your majesty can have
which you choose"
lin these affairs of state 1t matters
little" said the king, sadly. Let it be
the older, to more nearly match my
own age"
The duke returned at once to Eng
land to prepare his daughter for this
royal marriage. He carried with him
portraits of the king. and described in
glowing terms his graces and virtues.
There was no choice for Philippa.
Fortunately, the fair English maid
was pleased with the dark beauty of
the king. She wondered If he would
admire her. She ad heard of his in
difference to women. and knew that
he had not even asked for her picture.
AT least he shall not know that
care at all for him" she thought for
she was high-spirited girl.
The marriage was by proxy. This
was not uncommon in royal families
long ago. The dignity of the king for
babe him to go from his own land to
seek his bride. Yet the Lady Philippa
of Lancaster was granddaughter of the
king of England. She must be married
in her own country.
The king sent as his proxy a great
archbishop. He travelled in royal state,
attended by many mobiles
After the ceremony Philippa, as
queen of Portugal. went, in care of the
archbishop and all his train, to the
husband whom in her heart she loved,
and whom she knew cared not for her.
On her al rival in Portugal she was
taken to a grand castle. where the mar
riage ceremony was to be performed on
the following day with the king in
stead of his proxy.
After Philippa had rested from the
fatgues of the journey. she prepared

Her ladies withdrew that the young
people might have no witness to their
meeting. She was alone.
From window the girl watched the
approach of the king. She noted how
handsome he was in suit of fine green
velvet with silver satin trimmings.
Yet she was angry with herself that
she admired him.
Nothing does ne care for mel" she
thought, bitterly.
She drew herself up with great dig
nifty as he entered the room. He bowed
low before her and commenced some
formal speech Then the words died
upon his lips The shock of a great
surprise kept him silent. Before him
stood the lady of the miniature. His
Joy may be imagined. He told the story
to Philippa. She in turn confessed her
love. The marriage next day was no

other day, I'VE were told by persons
who wanted us to be credit to our
country that we must be careful not
to dress too gayly over here, that nice,
genteel tailor-made suits were the
proper thing. So we bankrupted our
selves on 'tailor-mades' Of various
weights and colors-and we have
scarcely seen an Englishwoman wearing
one since we arrived. Even in the
morning at public meetings the most
delicate fa5rlcs are worn, with long
trains, deliberately trimmed and often
with thin kid slippers or white shoes.

in tile bottom of our trunks and packed
the steamer rugs on top of them. We
have been fortunate enough to see the

functions, and it has been interesting
to compare their dressing with that
of the fashionable women on similar
occasions in our own country. My

While the ham is cooling-for it should

then made in the ham with sharp carv-

the ham is baked until well done-an hour
