Remarkab1e crossbred Apples.

What is regarded as an epoch max
ing event in the pomology of the Unit
ed States is the recent crossing Of the
Newtown Pippin, one of the finest of
American apples, with Rhode Island
Greening, Northern Spy and Russet.
All of these crosses have proved to be
long keepers. and this. in combination
with other excellences of quality, size
and attractive appearance, makes their
future a matter to be watched with
eager interest by apple growers. These
apples are the work Of Mr.. Underhill, a
Hudson river grower. who recently ex-

How to Grow and Flower Fine Lars

How to Grow and Flower Fine Large
Specimen Plants.
Two sowings of seeds should be
made, the first about the middle of
June and the second about the middle
of July. Take as many six inch pots
as there are specimens required and
after draining them well fill to within
an inch of the top with mixture Of
loan and well decayed manure well
broken up. Press it down rather firm
ly, sow the seed thinly and cover with
finely sifted soil. Place them in a
frame or under hand lights. After the
seedlings are up give more air night
and day.
The plants will soon become strong
enough for the first thinning to take
place, which should consist of the
weakest plants. In short time a sec
ond thinning will be required, leaving
from five to seven of the strongest
plants at regular distances over the
surface of the pot.
The plants may be allowed to grow
until they have rooted well, but at the
OalluC lAAnC must tlOL NC dliOWCu " SCt
pot bound, as if so the stems become
hard, and they will attempt to bloom.
and their future growth will be check
ed in consequence. At this stage they
will be fit to put into the pots in which
they are intended to flower. This large
shift is necessary, because mgnonette
does not thrive well when frequently
IL. l.
inch pots will be found good size for
specimen plants. The pots should be
perfectly drained and quite clean.
AS to soil, nothing is better than
turfy loan well decayed. This will
without any addition grow the plants
well. Pot them firmly and water at
once. Keep the sun from them and
stand the pots out of doors or in cold
frame on a cool bottom of ashes and
protect from strong winds. Stake each
plant firmly, and when they have
grown an inch or two pinch out the top
of every shoot. This will cause them
to break two inches or three inches
down in the stem. These shoots in
due time will need stopping and tying
as the plants advance until they have
| formed the outline Of good specimens,
when they may be allowed to flower.
At the latter part of the summer,
| when the plants are taken under COW
err, they should have light, airy place
in greenhouse temperature. When the
| plants are we'll set with bloom, give
occasional waterings of weak liquid
| manure.

"ALBERT EDWARD"

George IT., the king whose gen. erals Washington had defeated. had four sons. Two of them reigned as George ". and William ". The fourth son married the widow of the Prince of Leiningen. Mary Louise Vie toria, daughter of the Duke of SaXe- Coburg. To this couple was born at kensington palace. May 24, 1919, Alex andria Victoria. destined through the death of other heirs, 10 become queen. She was carefully trained by her mother. She was taught regular habits and strict economy. She sang. danced, rode and excelled with the bow and arrow. She studied Latin, French and Italian. At 15 she was allowed the society of her cousin, Prince Albert of SaXe- -Coburg-Go and the young people found each other highly agreeable, to the satisfaction Of their mothers.
 At 2:3o on the morning of June 20. 1S3T, William IV. was 10 more. At
 . the same morning the messengers. one of whom was the Archbishop or Canterbury, had reached henSlngton palace. and the princess of IS, iii loose white nightgoWn and shawl. slippers and tears. with hair down. appeared in the receiving room. and the great Victorian era had begun. She was small in stature. without much pre- tension to beauty, bur with graceful manners and T good appearance. Up to this time she had never slept out of her own bedroom. nor been alone with any one except her mother and the Baroness Lehgen. Her mother had wisely determined to keep her daughter uncontaminated by the court life of 1ne four Georges
 She was proclaimed queen and ap- peared on the throne in the house of lords to prorogue parliament. A year later June 2S, 1888. she was crowned amid much pomp and splendor.
 Strangely enough the first political issue came out of the question of jupons' short petticoats). Peel tried 10 change the ladies of the queens bedchamber to tory women: they were
 whig women. The queen would not do it, so Peel resigned and Melbourne again became prime minister. Daniel O'Connell who hated both whigs and tories. was delighted. He called on the powers above to bless the little creature'' who had stood out for her feelings against q great nation of per
 secutors who desired to introduce pol l itics into her very bedchamber.
 The queen personally announced her forthcoming marriage January H, 1S4O, in parliament. The wedding took place February 10. Prince Fran cis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanu- el of -Coburg Gotha, besides giy- | ing a name to our long coats, also be- came Albert the Good. A nobler con | sort has not existed. Eight children l were born to them, as follows: No vember 21, 1S4O, Princess Royal, who | is the present empress dowager of Germany; November 9, 1S41, Prince of
 Wales, who will now be known as
 Edward VII; April p, 1843. Princess

next went to Borchard's on West Por- ter street, and to the Railroad hotel, after leaving Dunphy's. After break fast they went to Thomas Ferriss on Liberty street. He could not say If the party had had any drinks between the time they left Washington avenue and entering Ferris's. The question being repeated, he said he thought he went to the South End hotel, and had glass of beer with breakfast. but was not positive, because it was not in his memorandum. He thought that having drink with q meal and with out meal made all the difference in the world. This was his explanation for not entering that he had a drink, as he thought, with breakfast. Before going to work for Le Clair witness said he was employed by F. \. Peck, at 7l9 State street, New Haven, for five months, and before that with the Be attic Starch company, same city. for one year. At this point Mir Pierce stated that he wished for time to get an amended certificate from Clerk An ketelle of the superior court in New Haven, showing that the accused con- ducted the saloon mentioned on the date in question. and the court, being in doubt on the point, said he would grant MT PiercG's request after which the case was adjourned to Wednesday of next week, the defense thinking this the best course to pursue.
 The case against John F. Duncan, first for selling liquor to be drunk on the premises under q druggists license. was called next Mir Duncan plead ed~not guilty and was defended by At torney Lawlor. Adams was sworn. He testified that with Bedell. Ecklend. Roberts and two others, whom he did not know, he went to defendant s drug store at 12:3O on September 23, and stayed there until 12:3G. They asked for WhiSkey and were given it and as they were drinking it the clerk said, put it out O sight and they did so with remarkable dispatch. In all the places except. one in which witness was that day he drank whis- key. He did not identify MT Duncan as the one who served them! Bedell
 was then put on. He corroborateu Adams and added that one of the two
 unknown men was named keGfe. lie did not know the other man. He de- nied that either himself or Adams wore
 any disguise. except that he was un- shaven and had no collar. This closed the states case and MT Pierce was about to ask an adjournment as i'll the above case, but on looking at the
 certificate from Clerk Anketell he found that it stated Duncan had ll- cense 'on'' the date in question. MT
 Lawlor reminded the court it was his clients first otfense and asked for len iency. A fine of $l5 and costs was i'm
 posed. An appeal was taken under |; bond of $l0O.
 William H. Borchardts case fol lowed. He was charged as in the first case. keeping open and selling on September 23. The only difference Ill | the evidence in this case and the others was the nature of the drink consumed the means of entering and the time. Borchardt put in no defense and was fined S1O and costs on each count. Patrick Holian. 93 Railroad Hill street, faced the same complaint on two counts. selling and keeping open on September 30 The same ground | was gone over by the two detectives in | almost every detail.

 Some conception of the growth of the British empire under Queen Vic toria may be formed from the follow ing. In addition. it must be remem- bered that in 1857 the Indian territory, even indirectly under British sway, included neither of the great frontier provinces of Burmah and the. Pun jaub. Their acquisition followed the transfer of rule from the British East India company to the crown, brought about by mutiny. Racially and relig- iously, India is more heterogeneous than Europe yet, despite that and pestilence and famine, railways, reservoirs, q system of justice and other vast i'm provements show the firm, civilizing hand of it's one ruler.
 Attention has been centercd on the British colonies as never before by reason of their active loyalty during the Transvaal war. Representative government was granted to all the im- portant colonies in 1856. Distress in the British isles during the early, years of the reign led to 2 wave of emfgra- tion to the lands across the seas. In the case of Australia, new impetus was given by the discovery of gold. Canadian Federation began in 1867, and the dawn Of thIs year saw the union of AQetfa1fe ta1e e{ect.
