Limitations of the Prince

The bishop of Durham, the Right Rev. Brooke Foss Westcott, D. D., Is perhaps the most learned bishop on the bench, says a London correspondent. It Is well known that pr. Westcott re- fused over and over again to be made a bishop. However, after much per suasion, he accepted the bishopric of Durham. The salary attached to this see is f7.0O0 and of this Dr. Westcott gives away fJ,000. Dr. Westcott Is a great favorite with the Prince of Wales, who recently said to the Duke or Devonshire:
 ''There are only three people living whom 1 allow to lecture me-my mother, the queen; my wife, the prin- cess, and the bishop of Durham"

PERFECT COW STALL

Is inct;S wide. 9 inches deep at plat us the greatest satisfaction.
 We find that platform 6 feet G inch es from ditch to the piece across the front of the stall is just right for a COW weighing l.GO0 pounds. For shorter COWS decrease the length, the idea be- Ing 10 fence the COW back to the ditch so that all her voidings will fall into the latter, which insures a clean ami nal. For the managers use two by studdng and lay them full length of stalls, so that the feed trough will be Is inches wide and f Inches above plat form after placing tight bottom of either an IS inch board or matched flooring. The flange board next to COW is inches wide, being just 10 inches from top to floor.
 The opening of the manager at the top ought 10 be Is inches wide. At this point all feed. grain, silage, hay or fod der Is fed. The last slat at the bot tom should be only 6 or inches wide from the slanting back of the manager, so that nothing but grain or cut feed will pass into the IS inch trough. The cows are tied with a common swivel tie chain. The partitions for the stalls are 3 feet inches long and feet wide and width of stall feet 3 inches from center to center. The partitions do not follow through past the five foot post to the slanting back Of the manager higher than one foot above the feed trough. This is done so that green corn or corn stover can be fed more easily. which to many farmers Is an item. The feed bin Is an adjunct which many have attached and run the full length of the feed alley with door to door, as shown. This feature saves many steps In a whole winters feeding and holds large quantity of feed

THE KING PROCLAIMED.
Medieval Ceremonies In the City oI
 Innxfnn


 London.
 Londoners awoke on Thursday morn ing to find the route between St. James palace and the city lined with troops numbering about 10000. After the proc lamation at St. James palace the off, cials took carriages for Temple Bar, es- corted by a detachment of horse guards, a picturesque procession.
 The contingent from the College of Arms comprised three kings-at-arms. four heralds and eight pursuivants. The costumes of the heralds and pursuivants were gorgeous beyond compare. They wore tabards, heavily embroidered with gold silk lions, the royal coat of arms and flowers in bewildering confusion. There was the rouge dragon, the blue mantle and the maltravers. with all the armorial bearings of the College of Arms. At Temple Bar a silken line across the street where the griffin stands marked the city barrier.
 As the clock struck the appointed time the officer in command of the troops gave an order. and the rife stocks came down with click upon the pavement, and two gold laced trumpeters appeared at the griffin's side. The lord mayor and sher- ifs, mace bearers, chaplain, remem- brancer and the white wigged judges of the city courts left their carriages and grouped themselves together between the lines of troops.
 Then the city marshal rode up to the barrier.
 The Norrey kng-at-arms, whose green and gold tabard outshone those of his colleagues. appeared at the imaginary bar and his trumpeter blew a shrill blast. which the lord mayors trumpeter an swered.
 The city marshal demanded:
 "Who goes there:"
 The Norrey king at-arms replied:
 "The kings herald to read the procla- nation"
 Enter, herald" said the marshal and conducted him to the lord mayor and al- dermen. who were still grouped in the street.
 The herald then read the proclamation. The trumpeters blew a blast, while the crowd stood bareheaded and silenced. Then a military band struck up God Save the King" and the crowd took m the words.
 The procession now advanced by way of Ludgate hill to the Royal Exchange in front of which the final proclamation was to be made. The square before the ex- change, with the prisonlike walls of the Bank of England on one side and the off cial residence of the lord mayor on the other, was sober stage setting that be- fitted the ceremony. There were no dec orations except flags at half mast, save the city's red cross on a white field over the Mansion House. The royal standard hung above the exchange, and over the surrounding business buildings flew the union jack.
 A flourish of trumpets imposed silence on the throng. As the lord mayor. un- covering, stepped forward all hats came of. The lord mayor read the warrant of the privy council to the herald, and as he closed with the words, His majesty King Edward VII" the crowd for the first time cheered feebly, but without unison.
 Then the herald again read the procla- nation. When he raised his voice at the end and shouted, God save the king.' the populace responded heartily with cheers, many people echoing the shout and waving their hats.

A Bridegroom In ChnIna.

A sad wedding has taken place here. The bridegroom is a clockmaker named Obschenski, who immediately previous to his marriage was sentenced to ten years In the Siberian mines for eoining false money.

STALLS FOR COWS.
Auch Care and Ingenuity Require

E
 In Their Construction.
 ThCrr is nothing about the dairy barn that requires so much care and ingenuity as the construction of COW stalls. says George E. Scott in The American Agriculturist. Contemplat- ing the wisdom of an invention that would give not only perfect comfort to dairy animals, but insure perfect clean Illness, constructed one that has prov ed to he a grand success after a test of seven years. Since my stall appear ed thousands of dairymen have placed them in their dairy barns and where constructed according to the plans shown In the illustrations have always given perfect satisfaction.
 The construction Is simple and the plans easily followed. If a carpenter is employed. see that he makes no changes. as any deviation will result in running the whole plan. The plat form is made of inch oak doubled, with broken joints and a two inch fall at ditch. This piaIform may he made of cement instead of plank or boards. The ditch should he made water tight. l have found that where considerable quantity of ahsorbents are used a ditch

Threads of Faith.

Again, in mending our nets we need also to put in the threads of faith and tear out all the tangled meshes of unbelief. Our work is successful ac- cording to our faith. The man who believes in only half a Bible, or the Bible in spots; the man who thinks he cannot persuade others; the man who balts, doubting about this and doubting about that, will be a failure in Christian work. Show me the man who rather thinks that the garden of Eden may have been an aIlegory, and Is not quite certain but that there may be another chance after death. and does not know whether or not the Bible is inspired, and I tell you tha; man for soul saving is a poor stick. faith in God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and the absolute neces- sity of a regenerated heart In order to see God in peace Is one thread you must have in your mending net or you will never be successful fisher for men. Why, how can you doubt? The rottenest thread to tear out of your net Is unbelief, and the most important thread that you are to put in 1t h
