Increasing surprise is felt in Eng
land that the duchess of Fife is never
officially described as princess royal"
1t is only since the accession of
George II. that such a designation has
existed, but that monarch's eldest
daughter Though she was born when
her father was only electoral prince
of Hanover) enjoyed it, and so d the
eldest daughter of George III, and t 6
Oldest daughter of Queen Victoria.
While the late Empress Frederick was
living there might have been good
grounds for Withholding the title
from the eldest daughter of King
Edward, for there has never been two
princesses royal alive at the same
time. But that difficulty is now re-
moved and why the distinction should
be allowed to drop is a question
causing much conjecture.

How to Diminish Crime.

In the opinion of Sir Robert Ander-
son, in an article on Professions
Crime" in the current issue of Nine
teenth Century, we now allow to be
wasted very large part of the knowl-
edge in the archives of Scotland Yard
and in the heads of it's principal Of
ficers, says a London paper. They
could put their fingers tomorrow on
some seventy professional criminal
who are the inspirers and organizers
of by far the greater part of what may
be called the skilled offenses against
property in this country, and if these
seventy men, all of whom have prob
ably been convicted many times, were
simultaneously seized and shut up in
prison or asylum for the rest of their
lives, there would be a drop in crime
comparable with the drop in typhus
cases from the end of the eighteenth
to the end Of the nineteenth centuries.

Vaccination in the Hub.

1t was at a dinner party. The
bright young man found himself priv
ileged to sit next to the young woman
with beautiful arms and neck. He
thought himself the most favored per-
sonage in the room. Suddenly his fair
companion exhibited signs of ner-
vousness. Two of his very best jokes,
saved for a special occasion, passed
by unnoticed. Her face wore look
of alarm. Apprehensively the young
man gazed at her, and meeting the
look she said:
Il am in misery"
"In misery?" echoed the young
man.
YES" she replied, 81 was vacci-
mated the other day, and it has taken

The young man looked at the beau
tiful arms, and, seeing no mark there,
said:

"In Boston" she replied, the smile
chasing away the look of pain.

The only herd of bison Of any i'm
portance now left in the United States
from the millions which a few years
ago roamed over the entire country
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains, consists OF about
fifty full-blooded buffalo, and the same
number of mixed bloods, all now the
property of James Philip of Fort
Pierre, who is known all over the range
country as "Scotty" Philip.
This herd is the product Of a hunt
twenty years ago, when Frederick Du-
pree, an old French trapper, foreseeing
the early determination of the species,
started for the Little Missouri country
to capture few calves for the purpose
of raising a herd. In this hunt he LED
a band of Indians and halfbreeds, who
only accomplished the purpose for
which they set out after long ind
dangerous search among the few small
punches of buffalo yet known to be
roaming in that COUNTRY. Only half a
dozen calves were taken alive, and
AiOm lhe5e the present. uSlu mas 6iN'"h'
Mr. Dupree allowed the buffalo to
range practically wild on the Cheyenne
river, with no further attention than
to see that they did not get out of that
part of the state, where they were
kept until his death. In the settlement
of the estate none of the numerous
heirs cared to take them as his share
Of the estate, and they were sold to
"Scotty" Philip, after an Intellectual at
tempt to dispose of them to the general
government.
Just what the value Of the herd is is
problematical, but as it is the only
herd left in the country on which to
draw for specimens, this will give it
an increasing value as years go by.
Having had practically the same
freedom as in their native state, the
specimens Of the herd are somewhat
different from those usually seen in
parks and menageries. One bull out
of this herd was sold for show pur-
poses about ten years ago for $1,000.
