PRINCE NOT A CENTAUR.
During His Military Career King
Edward Took Many a Nasty
Tumble.

The intense love for all kinds of
sport by the king of England has by
no means rendered him anything ap-
preaching capable performer in any
branch of it himself. He never could
learn to play cricket, which, strange
ly enough was popularity also of
both of his brothers, the duke of Con-
naught and the late duke of Edinburg.
His majesty has done more than any
man in Europe to promote and encour-
age horse racing, yet he is VIGOROUSLY
poor horseman, and during his mill
tary career he had many nasty tum-
BILE. In his subaltern days in the crack
regiment, the Tenth hussars, he was
continually falling out of the saddle,
and if it had not been for his rank and
position the riding master of his COM
pany would have pronounced him a
hopeless failure.
No one ever doubted his courage,
however, and by the advice of the late
Queen Victoria, who was made ac-
quainted with his incapacity in the
saddle, he was forbidden to mount any
thing but the quietest horse that could
be procured. The queen also insiAted
that he must take no part in hunting
or in any form of sport in which there
was an element of danger.

The ubiauitou. Flea.

She was pretty and winsome little
colonial lady of four summers, but she
began her first conversation with the
gentleman just out from England in
this unpromising fashion:
1.-THE fleas bite me lot in the night"
Dear me, that is very sad!" Then,
wishing to administer consolation even
in these trying circumstances, the gen.
tleman from England added: do they
bite you in the daytime, too?"
NO
why not?"
We'll, you see In the daytime they's
busy biting grandma"
Grandma lived in England. Then,
little by little, the visitor from that
country got at the little girls theory,
in which Imagination and geography
were queerly mingled, Knowing that
it was night in England when it was
day In Australia, she had pictured the
flea as a wandering Jew, daily hopping
the world in pursuit Of his laborio.<
livelihood. -CornhfIl Magazine.
