MUST JOIN ARMY OR NAVY.
English Princes Detailed for Active
Service in Their Youth.

FROM ffarperS weekly.
The princes of the English blood royal
have never been allowed to saunter through
life as mere do-nothings. Custom and
monarchical dignity. of course, severely
limit the number of things to which the
heir apparent and his younger brothers
may apply themselves. Practically two
professions only are open to them-the
army and the navy. But with at least ore
of these callings the future king is tx
pected to ally himself. Bismarck once
sneered at King Edward VII when Prince
OF Wales as being the only heir to a Euro
pean throne whom one would never by any
chance expect to encounter On a battlefield
1t Is true that English etiquette and opin-
ION do not exact from a royal prince any
very serious application to his profession;
nor however keen and capable he might

American officer proposed the toast of a

civil war: 'War1ike In peace peaceful in

who Is thrust into the strict democracy of
the services is getting an invaluable educa

No. 6, in the hymnal Rev. ]. ". Smith of
Bethel Academy, near Warrenton, preach
ed the sermon. taking his text from st.
John. 9Th chapter and Goth verse Rev.
Smith spoke of the fact that Jesus came
not to establish earthly kingdom but a
heavenly one. and that he came upon earth
working miracles and teaching, and 1t was
after such an occasion upon retiring to rest
and the people searching Him out, He
spoke the words of the text
1t was evident he said, that the people
were looking not higher than personal help
when they ought to have recognized Jesus
as the gtver of spiritual life. Accordingly
He rsbuked them. Jesus Christ performed
miracles as a proof of his messiahship and
a seal that He came from God. How
shallow must have been the perception of
these people that they did not recognize
this. They had eyes but saw not: ears ears
but heard not. They should have known
him better.
God is the common Father and we are
brothers. said the preacher. Man ought to
use the means whereby he can be nearer to
God. Christianity will bring out the best

TULIPS AND HYACINTHs.
Now is the Time to Plant If You Want
Them.

From Country Life in America.
Il should like to procure some plants
like those beautiful ones in boom in the
park, Is an order given to the scotsman
many times daily during the ST. ng, while
hyacinths. tulips, narcissi and ntl spring
noWering bulbs are delightins ne spec
taIors with their gorgeous hues
The same old answer has to 5e repeated
again and again: The flowers y u describe
are produced from bulbs which must be
planted in the fall; they will then flower
the following spring. 1t is now entirely too
late.
1t is really surprising how few people
realize that while their gardens are in their
autumn glory it is also the proper time
to order and plant hardy spring-fowering
bulbs, without which most gardens will be
bare OF flowers Tor many weeks the fol-
lowing season. In fact, there are many
people who do not know what bulbs are.
For the benefit Of such I may state that
towering bulbs are like an onion. The
roots and foliage die away. /. e., "ripen
on. leaving the naked bulb. in the heart
of which are stored incipient flowers, stems
and leaves, which are therein sustained
while the bulb remains in a dormant con-
dition. During the dormant season bulbs
may be dug up, shipped, stored and re-
planted, like so many potatoes, and after
their term OF rest has expired. conditions

A good rule to FOLLOW as to the proper
time to plant hardy spring-fowering bulbs
IN the open ground is from four to six
weeks before freezing nights are expected.
Then the under soil Is still warm enough
to induce root-action. while the cooler
surface and air checks top-growth until
spring.

New Electric Car.

From the Scientific American.
A new electric car has been undergoing
severe tests In England. the results OF
which have been highly satisfactory, as the
vehicle has succeeded in covering 100 miles
without recharglng. The car itself Is made
by Krieger of Paris, but the electrical 1T
tings are supplied BY London firm. The
electrical installation consists OF two COM
pound motors, which drive the front wheels
Independently. The battery comprises
forty-four Leitner cells of 800 ampere hours
capacity, and is capable Of running the car
100 miles without recharging at q speed OF
forty miles per hour on level road When
travelling down hill the motors are reversed
and become generators and recharge the
battery Another interesting feature OF this
experiment is that by converting the motors
into generators an excellent braktnE erect
is produced. and in the majority OF IN
stances is suficient to hold the vehicle IN
heck without aeeesxitating the applica-
ten of the necaaaica. brakes

A POUND OF COAL,
The Wonderful Energy Which It is
Capable Of Producing.

From the Baltimore American.

hcient to pull a large express train a dis
lance OF one-sixth Of a mile. going at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour" said an ex-
perienced locomotive engineer yesterday.

at the wonderful amount Of work which
the energy from this small quantity Of coal
can do. For the purpose Of explaining,
take. for instance, pound of what might
be called average coal, containing about
10000 heat units. This would be somewhat
smaller in size than a mans fist If this
pound of coal could be burned compIeteIv

heat should go into the water, a tempera-

Bear Mothers Unjust Chastisement.

A friend of mine returning to camp after
days shooting. suddenly came in sight
OF big she-bear with two cubs following
in single file, proceeding along a ridge, the
forms of the three being sharply silhouet-
ted against the sky. 1t was a very long
shot, but he determined to try it, so drew
a bead on the old she-bear and fred. The
result was curious. The procession stop

Balfour,s Clothes.

From the Londen Tailor and Cutter.
There is an idea that Mfr. Balfour is more
careless than his Uncle Salisbury in sar-

style of coat to the creaselsss tin soldier

In five years Japan win be building

vessels, according to Kokio Mat
sukata, who is in this country to
study the American shipbuilding in
dustry, as part of tour around the

subject. He has visited the South
Chicago (Ill) plant, and will inspect
the Cramps establishment in the
east before going to Europe. His
home is in Kobe, and he is connect
ed with one of the leading Japanese
companies.
"In recent years our people have
made wonderful progress in this
line" he said. "Our merchant ma
rine is prosperous, and has expand
ed beyond our own hopes. The gov
eminent gives heavy subsidies and
encourages the business in every
way possible. Until recently we have
been obliged to go abroad for our
vessels, buying them chiefly in Eu
rope. But we have studied ship
building, and already have plants
that can produce almost any sort of
craft. Soon we VIII be building every
class of vessel except the heaviest
battleships, and in few years more
will be making them, TOO"
