NAMING THE PRINCE OF WALES.
Life of Edward. the Original Holder
of the I'll tie.

About six hundred years ago there
was King of England-Edward T.
who subdued the people of Weles,
which, you know, lies just west of
England. After conquering the Welsh,
he was anxious to get their goodwill.
and so, when it happened that his first
baby prince was born in Carnarvon, in
Wales, he had bright idea. He an
nounced that his boy was a native of
Wales-one who could speak Welsh
just as well as any other tongue this
was true, as the baby was but few
weeks old), and he should therefore
be the peoples own prince, Edward,
Prince of Wales.
Twenty-three years after this baby
became King of England, and about
fifty years later his grandson had as
signed to him, as the third Prince of
Wales, the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings
sons who have since that day had the
title. The crest is three ostrich feath-
ers, and the motto is the sentence,
''Ich dien"-''I serve" 1t was given
to the Black Prince, boy of great
promise, who fought bravely at the
battle of Crecy.
The present Prince of Wales is the
oldest son of Queen Victoria, and is a
man whose Oldest son has already be-
come Of age. Some people think of
kings and queens and princes as
wearing magnificent crowns and con-
tinually making great display; but if
you were to see the London house
where the Prince of Wales lives you
would be surprised at its plain ap.
pearance--on It's outside at least He
has sons and daughters who are being
brought up very sensible and simple
way. The boys are not allowed to
"put on airs" because of their high
birth. aud the dresses Of the young
girls are made in a style much more
plain than are those of many silly
schoolgirls in America.
There is book written by Queen
Victoria that would be interesting TO
any one who likes to know how the
home life of a royal family goes on.
1t shows the reader that the great
ones Of the earth have Just as many
trials and struggles and heartaches as
the lowliest. 1t let's you see that the
Queen of England is loving mother
and sincere Christian. Forward.

A Solid Man.

"Take look at that man." The
head of the house had just returned
from the kitchen and was talking to
an old friend whom he had left in the
library. "Notice his carriage; head
well back, step firm, shoulders
squared and his whole air suggestive
of important business. They just
called me to see him. As a result he
has half dollar of my money, a hat
and an overcoat that is yet good for
season or two.
Told q sad story, I suppose?"
"Not specially sad, but it's his
whole manner. He has the composite
spirit OF the warrior, philosopher aud
man of the world. 1t is not one man
in twenty that gets better than curt
dismissal from the woman in the
kitchen. She declares that she can
tell from a knock what kind of man
is giving it. If it be nervous. timid
or vacillatine, 'stammery,' as she calls
it, the applicant is sent about his
business before he can get his breath.
All the servants turn up their noses
when they hear that weak and aut-
tering request for an admission.
"But this fellow swung around to
the rear as though he was going to
storm the castle, gave bold, auda-
cious knock as if with the hilt of n
sword, stepped inside as the door
opened and asked IN a commanding
voice if the man of the house was at
home. Don't disturb him till I get
warm, and he pulled chair to the
side of the range, put mis- miserably
shod feet into the oven and asked il
he could glance over the morning
paper. The pie smelled like the pie
he used to get at home, and they gave
him generous section to sample.
He praised the roast till he got
slice, told the cook that she ought to
set up as an exclusive caterer and then
asked for me. He did not whine or
cr;nge, but talked Just like solid
business man, looked me straight in
the eyes and captured the goods and
chattels I've mentioned. That chap
knows the world and can live easier

it. detroit Free Press.

parish minister of Inchinnan, in Rem

Shirring Revived.

A great deal of shirring is done on
the lighter gowns. Cashmeres and
veilings this season are often shirred
about the waist to represent a corse-
let belt, the gowns cut in princess or
redingote style, the shirring done be-
low as well as above the waist line.
In organdies aud lawns entire fronts
are shirred, while shirred yokes of
thin white stuffs are put into coored
gowns. Net skirts are shirred in sew
eral rows at the top and the fullness
falls loose and straight over the silk
foundation.
