made for her than either of her sis
ters enjoyed during their girlhood.
Princess Victoria is SO years old
and has lost the girlish prettiness
which she once owned. She has an
alistocratic face, but her features
lack animation, and the general effect
is rather heavy and dull. She is very
reserved, prefers books to balls, and
a quiet country life, with dogs, horses
and a few chosen friends, to the gay
round of society.
Their is a romantic story concern
ing Princess Victoria, which purports
to account for spinsterhood. 1t is
said that she fell madly in love with
handsome young Indian prince who
visited the English court some years
age. The darll-slinned Prince
Charming was amiable, enlightened,
highly educated and fabulously rich,
and he returned the princess affec-
ton with ardor. He was enter
tanned at Sandringham, and in the
course of a walk in the garden found
an opportunity to propose to the
young woman. She accepted him, pro-
visionally, of course. A princess can
DO no more. The prince of Wales IA
vored the alliance, but the princess,
remarkably proud woman, by the
way, opposed it bitterly. The queen
was also against the lovers. However,
it was not deemed wise to refuse point
blank so powerful ruler, even if he
were OF a subject race, so he was adj
vised to return to India and let the
matter be discussed by the princess
family. He went, and within a very
short time died-a victim to the
plague. The members of the royal
family not directly concerned breathed
signs of polite regret and private re-
lief. Princess Victoria suffered deep
~ She has never been very strong
since and has appeared but little in
society. She wished to become an
army nurse, but princess is denied
the solace of hard work, which has
done so much for aching hearts the
world over. She wears always a SOU
venir of her prince-a ruby ring
which was brought her after his
death by a servant.
Lately gossip has betrothed her to
Prince George of Greece, but there
has been no official announcement of
the engagement. If she remains I'M
married, her long seclusion will have
to be broken now. The pomp and
maonificence of Edwards court will
force her to take her proper place as
the only unmarried daughter of the
house. The queen, it is well known,
suffers from deafness, and shrinks
from all except imperative public du-
ties, so that Victoria will be called
upon to represent her mother as
Princess Beatrice did so often the late
queen.-Detroit Free Press.

Vaginne." Then, when school is dis
missed, she carries the child across
the street to her home and puts her
to bed.
A most kindly spirit of friendship
exists between the young and old
pupils of the school. They mingle to-
gether on terms of perfect equality
and the games of childhood they play
appear to be enjoyed equally by both.
The younger pupils do not taunt the
older ones with either their age or
color, and, on the other hand, the
older ones take no offense when
coached by the younger ones in their
studies.

TO RULE HUSBANDS.
Startling Development of the So
Called New WOmnnhoOd Among
the Wives of Berlin

Germany has of late years been the
stronghold of masculinity. The Ger
man women have been held up as para
CONS of all domestic virtues and stead
tasty opposed to new womanhood.
But even in Germany the throne of
man is shaking.
Berlin now has an Association of
Married Women for the Control of
Husbands. The constitution and by
laws haven't been made public, and the
meetings are private, but the name
alone opens broad vistas of specula-
ton as to the functions of the associa-
ton.
Presumably the women will all read
papers and compare experiences. and
the discussions will take on remin-
iscent and anecdotal character that
will make them even liveler than So
rosis election day.
OF course, American club women will
look pityingly at their Teutonic sis
ters' effort to throw off the yoke. Or
gained effort toward the control of
husbands isn't necessary over here.
As the Wonderland Red Queen would
say: "Oh, we passed that long ago"
Each American woman controls her
own husband with an ease that leaves
her time and energy for problems more
vital. Still. the German women have
made step in the right direction.
What the feelings of the German
husband are when he sees his wife set
ting forth to meeting of the A. NJ. w.
r. c. Il. is beyond conjecturing.

PLAN FOR HOTBED.

be sheltered from heavy winds, and
with a full exposure to the sun. In
preparation for a bed the fresh
manure and long litter are collected
from stables and drawn together to
the location of the bed, where it is
placed in conical pile. As the manure
is thus thrown together it is packed
down by treading on it, the treading
being repeated as the bed is raised
few inches at a time, until the pile is
finished off to point at the top.
After a few days it may be noticed
that the pile is heating by seeing
steam rise from it. 1t is then custom
airy to handle over the manure, shak-
ing it out and again making it into a
pile and tramping it down as before.
In two or three days the signs of heat
ing will again be evident, and ii is then
ready to be made into a bed. The bed
should be made large enough to ex-
tend at least a foot outside of the
frame at the sides and ends. In throw
ing the manure into shape as the pile
rises in height every few inches it

of the fork so that the material will
be of uniform density. The bed should
be two feet or two and one-half feet in
depth. The deeper it is the steadier
and longer continued will be the heat.
Win the bed is finished evenly on
top the frame can be set on and COW
cred with the sashes. In a few days
strong heat will rise, and when this

Gates only IS or so degrees, layer of
rich, mellow soil that has been pre-
viously prepared should be placed in
the frame and spread evenly over the
bed to depth of about six inches.
The bed is now ready for use, and
seed sowing in it can commence. In
the management of hotbed constant
reference must be made to a shaded
thermometer kept inside, and air
must be given sufficiently to keep the
temperature down TO about 70 degrees.

THE FAMILY ORCHARD.
Apple Trees Had Rest he Planted in
the Spring and Afterward Culti-
waited with Care.

Something of my experience may
be of benefit to some one like myself
who is trying to have a family or
chard and succeed in raising apple
trees. ! have found that it does not
pay to set tree that is not thrifty
and vigorous, no matter what the age
may be. / have had good success
with four-year-old trees and also with
two and three year trees. In setting
the tree l dig the hole large enough
to accommodate all the roots, throw
in enough well puiverized soil to
cover the roots well, and then pour
in about one-half gallon of water to
settle the dirt firmly around the
roots and exclude all the air, then
fill up with soil. My trees never fail
to grow. l think spring the proper
time to plant. The greatest trouble
with me has been to keep the borers
from killing the trees. To prevent
this 1 wrap them with paper, letting
it extend an inch or two below the
surface of the ground. l do this
early in the spring after examining
tree to see that no borer remains in
there to Ie wrapped up for the sum-
mer. A young fruit tree must be
cultivated. Don't expect a tree set
in sod to grow and bear fruit. II
left to shift for itself the result will
be stunted dwarf that will drop out
about the time it should begin O
bear if properly taken care of. Go
through the young orchard some time
during the winter and pick off and
burn all those little lunches of leaves
seen hanging to the twigs. Each one
contains an egg that as soon as warm
weather comes, ard the tree begins
to bud, will hatch into worm that
will eat the leaves off your tree
faster than they can grow. Remem.
Der that in raising an orchard, as in
a great many other things, untiring
vigilance is the price of success.--J.

OLD DARKY AT SCHOOL.
Mrs. Jennie McCOrkeI, of Omaha,
Neb., Is 6S, But Not Too Old
to Learn to Read.

Mrs. Jennie McCorkel (colored),
aged 6S years, is attending night
school in Omaha, Neb., her purpose
being to learn TO read.
II want to go to Heaven when 1
die" she says, land if I'm going to
do that I've got to read the Bible.
But l never learned to read when
was little, so I've got to learn it now.
All I'm going to school for is to learn
to read the Bible. That's all l want
to know"
What is true of Mrs. McCorkel is
% also true of Mrs. Linnie Copeland, co
years old, and of Benjamin Jones, So
years old. All are members of the
colored colony down on the river bot
toms and all are attending the night
sessions of the Cass school.
They began three weeks ago, and
thus far have learned the alphabet
and to read words of two and three
letters. They don't care to learn to
write. Arithmetic is not in their cur
riculum and they consented to learn
spelling only when told that they
could not we'll read without it. As
textbooks they use Bibles, of which
each has a handsome volume, bound
in leather, with index and marginal
notations.
Ignorance is the curse of God.
knowledge the wing wherewith we
fly to Heaven" is favorite quota
ton of Mrs. McCorkel, and though
her teacher has frequently told her
that this is from Shakespeare and not
from the Bible her answer invaria-
bly, is: "Well, if it amt in the Bible
it ought to be there. It's true, any
way"
There are 40 pupils altogether in
the school attended by the ancient
trio, their ages ranging from seven
to 6S years. All work during the day
and study at night. Mines. McCorkeI

THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.
Though StiIl Unwed, Has Had a
Pretty Love Romance

What Princess Beatrice was for
many years to Queen Victoria-her
closest friend and confdante, the
youngest daughter of Edward VII,
one of the late queens numerous
namesakes, will be to Queen Alex
andra. Victoria disliked intensely
three things; gas, cats and old maids.
and it was a source of extreme an
noyance that the youngest, cleverest
and least plain of the Wales girls in
sisted upon remaining unwed. But
the father and mother of the willful
young woman, whether they abetted
her design or not, were at least ac-
quiescent, and it is fact that she
had a much more generous provision
