Prince Edward, the grandson of
Great Britain's king, although only
seven years old, has already dis
played such a liking for the sea that
it has been decided to make a sailor
of him, and he will go on a training
ship in few years. His present edu-
cation consists of a few short daily
lessons, for the king is strongly OPP
posed to overburdening the youthful
intellect. His recollection is keen of
how unpleasant it was to be a walk
ing dictionary" at 20. Prince Edward
is precocious youngster. At a juye-
nile party, in the presence of the
duke of Cornwall, he was given toys
of wood, for which he solemnly
thanked his playmates. So seriously
old-fashioned was his expression, that
his father eXclaimed: The little
wretch. he speaks better than | do
which was not far wrong, for the
duke of Cornwall is VIGOROUSLY nerv-
Gus and untitled for public speaking.

THE OFFICIAL MEASURER.
Man wbo Watches width of Loads
Crossing Brooklyn bridge to
Prevent BIockndcs.

The "Official Measurer of the Brook
lyn Bridge" is an overworked man on
Sunday morning between the hours OF
one a. m. and dawn. During the week
his work is not heavy, and he only has
TO keep an eye on the big trucks, which
approach the New York entrance, to
see that no vehicles which would block
the wagon roadways are allowed oD
the structure. His badge of office is a
rod about II feet long. When truck
approaches the entrance which seems
to be loaded so as to exceed the width
allowed by the bridge officials, the rod
is brought into play, says the New
York Times.
"You are altogether too Sioad," the
official measurer will yell at diminu-
tive truckman, probably or his way
from Harlem to Brooklyn with load
of furniture.
Then follows a bandying of words,
in the end the driver being ordered to
go back and arrange the load on his
wagon according to bridge rules.
Oftentimes words lead to -he arrest
of the truckmen, who plead, in the city
hall station, ignorance of the rules.
The official measurer of the bridge is
a policeman assigned to this duty on
each tour of the bluecoats stationed
at the New York terminal.
Late on Saturday night the Brooklyn
theaters are nearly all stripped of the
scenery of the plays which have been
produced during the week, and the
wagons loaded with them start for
theaters in New York, or for railway
stations on this side of the bridge. The
official measurer then has to have his
stick in hand nearly all the time, for
if wagon is allowed on the bridge
with too great breadth. blockade
may last for hours. Many times the
measurement is brought down to 8
quarter of an inch, and it requires a
quick eye to determine whet her a
wagon will pass over without accident.

He Loved Animals

Charles Kingsley's love for every
thing that had life was remarkable.
He spoke OF all living creatures as his
friends, and saw in them the handi-
work OF God. On his lawn lived a fam
lily OF natterjacks drumming toads) that
dwelt from year to year In the same
hole in a green bank which a scythe
was never allowed to approach. He
had two little friends in a pair Of sand
wasps that made their home in a
crack OF the window frame In his
dressing room. One OF these he had
saved from drowning in a hand basin
taking it tenderly out into the sun
shine to dry. Every spring he would
look eagerly for this pair of wasps
or their children, watching for them
to come out from or return to the
same crack. The little fycatcher that
built its nest every year under his bed
room window was a constant joy TO
him. He had also a favorite showroom
In the churchyard, which his parish.
oners were warned not to kill under
the mistaken idea that slowworms
Were poisonous. The same love for
Gods creatures was encouraged in his
children. He taught them to admire
and to handle gently every living
thing. Toads. frogs, beetles and
worms were to them not repulsive
things, to be killed as soon as seen
put wonders from the hand OF God.
