a pleasure to serve because he is so human"
The Countess OF Mimic is even more popular
with Canadians than her husband She is
pretty woman, almost as young looking as her
grown daughters, and she sets the women of the
Dominion many neat fashions. She is short. with
charming figure, dark hair, brilliant color and
expressive eyes When the Prince and Princess
of Wales. at that time Duke and Duchess Of
Cornwall and York, visited Canada a garden
party was given for them at Government
House. 1t fell upon Lady Mimic to conduct
them about the grounds and select those who
should be presented. Her selections were not
all made from those who considered them
selves most fit. as this pretty story shows.
This old gentleman was once an officer in the
navy she said, pausing the prince beside
bent old man.
The old officers hat came off in a jiffy, and he
insisted on standing bareheaded III the presence
of his future king. Though the prince asked
him to put on his hat, he did not do so until
Lady Mimic placed her hand on his arm and
seconded the request Of royalty with one Of her
smiles
During recent official visit to Montreal Lady
Minto visited most of the charitable tnstitu-
uoas IN that city, and at all the babies homes
spent so much time playing with the little ones
that the aides s-de-camp whose duty it was to
accompany her were in a humorous state Of
revolt During her visit TO the Montreal Ma
ternity Hospital she was taken over the build
ing. In one of the wards she discovered a
negro baby two days old. 1t was as ugly as
possible, and insisted on crying until it seemed
all mouth The little atom Of humanity ap-
pealed TO her excellency, not only from curiosity,
for she had never seen one before, but simply
! on the grounds that it a baby In a twink
ling that chocolate colored infant was out of
the nurses arms and into her exceuency's S.
where he made the prettiest possible picture
curled up among the delicate Iaces and en-
brOideries Of her gown. The contrast between
the white fox fur Of Lady Mintos wraps and the
face Of the baby ludicrous. The baby ap-
preciated the honor done him and ceased to cry.

other members OF the solar system Jupiter and
Mars are the most conspicuously marked Of the
lot, the former with alternating bands OF light
and darkness, parallel with its equator. and ths
latter by shadings suggestive OF seas and con-
tinents and fine. straight lines resembling canals
The sun itself develops dark spots occasionally
as we'll as bright ones, both being regarded al
indicative Of some form Of eruptive action
Nothing Of the sort is observed on Saturn. whose
only superficial eccentricities are OF the kind
just mentioned
From the fact that some OF these white spots
have apparently changed their positions at times.
the suspicion is excited that the planet Is not
quite so solid the earth Inasmuch as these
portions of the sun nearest its equator revOlVe

around in about twenty-six days and the other
needing twenty -nine-it may be inferred thai
the surface Of a Semi-1iuid mass, or an atmos-
pheric shell fun of luminous clouds is presented
to the eye by that body. Only slight inequality
Of the same nature has been observed On Saturn
and Jupiter; but even this has led to the i'm
preston that perhaps these two planets were
more nearly IN a molten state than the earth,
and hence more nearly allied to the supposed
condition of the sun.
Miss Agnes Al. Clarke mentions several reasons
for thinking that Saturn is younger and hotter
than it's giant neighbor. Jupiter. One Is that for
its size 1t appears to be wonderfully light. Its
density Is less than that Of water. or of any
other planet 1T may be concluded" says she,
without much risk OF error, that a large proper
ton of this bulky globe. 1900 miles in dame

and agitated circulation by the process Of cool

Saturn is in the constellation Of Capricornus at
present, and rises at about p. m An hour or
two later it may be identified as being little

rounding their arrival the lordly youngster
slipped out of the carriage and was of through
the ruins on a personal tour Of investigation
Just about the time his mother was beginning
to worry he returned much worse for his ex-

and, strangest of all. he was without his shoes
Where are your boots, Melgund?" his moth

way along in stocking feet.

to keep a coat or his back. AS an immense
number of persons lost all they possessed in the

more pride than in her own children. Her eld-

their first visit to Canada as Lord and Lady

WHITE SPOT ON SATURN.
Il Pua@Iing and Unusual DeUeIop-
nlent on the Hinged Planet.

Professor z. E. Barnard. Of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, Williams Bay, Wis, reports having
seen a white spot on the planet Saturn short
distance north Of the equator last week AS soon
as the word was passed around among profes-
sional star gazers they began to speculate
upon the nature of this phenomenon, and some
of them probably proceeded to look for 1t
themselves Although no one can witness this
exhibition without a reserved seat in some OBJ
servatory no doubt thousands Of wide awake,
thinking people will be curious to know more
about the matter
similar marking was discovered in 1876 by
Professor Asaph Hall, probably at the naval OBJ
servatory in Washington, where there is
26-inch glass. It was close to the equator. He
followed it through sixty rotations, and thus
was able to compute the time required for
rotation Of the planet at ten hours, fourteen
minutes and twenty-four seconds. The only
previous estimate Of Saturn's aerial movements
was made by Herschel in 1874, and he put it at
ten hours and sixteen minutes. Mr.. Denning,
English amateur, obtained results closely con-
forming to Professor Halls in May and June,
1891 For his study he had many ten
spots, but they seem to have been less conspicu-
GUS than those seen at Washington and Williams
Bay.
What has always made Saturn unique
among the planets are the wide, thin rings
which encircle that body. The surface is much
