Is not counted king of the house OF
| Oldenburg, he is of Oldenburg stock,
great grandson Of Frederick v. His
spouse, who really stood nearer to the
thrown, renowned her right in favor
of her husband.
| The children of their union were six,
the eventual marriage of whom maze
| Christian a father-in-law and Louise a
mother-in-law of Europe. Frederick,
heir apparent, married Louisa, daugh-
ter of King Carl XIV, of Sweden and
| Norway. The Oldest daughter, Princess
Alexandra, married the Prince OF
Wales, is now queen of England.
Prince Wilhelm rules as king OF
Greece. Marie Dagmar married Alex
ander Ill, is now empress dowager OF
Russia. Princess Thyra married the
immensely wealthy duke of Cumber-
land, cousin of Queen Victoria. Prince
| Waldemar espoused Princess Marie
d'Orleans, eldest daughter of the Duo
de Chartres.
Carl is the second son of Frederick,
heir apparent, There is nothing more
bewildering and wearisome than try
! ing to unravel the tangled threads of
European royalties relationships, try
+ ing to remember what kin this prince
ling is to that; but without undue eff
fort we may keep few facts clear con-
corning Prince Carl. He is son of Den
marks heir apparent; on his mothers
side, granddaughter of King Oscar of
Sweden; and son-in-law of King Ed
ward OF England.
Though father-in-law of the might
est of Europe, Denmark's king has
been a most democratic sovereign, his
court marked by simplicity; and by,
what we are pleased to call a concom-
liant of the simple life, purity. The
eldest son. Frederick, has brought up
his large family in an unpretentious
way, though he and his wife are very
rich-she inherited $15,OO0,00O from
her maternal grandfather, and, as only
child, the entire wealth Of her father,
the king of Sweden. Carl is half Swede
and half Dane, both Bernadotte and
Oldenburg.
In an article in the Popular Science
Monthly by DR.. Frederick F. Woods on
Mental and Moral Heredity in Royal
ty." we find anent the evidence from
Denmark" these conclusions: Good
natured, upright and not more than
ordinarily gifted is fair estimate for
our 81 members of the Oldenburg fam
ily, taken as a whole. In the ped
igree of the Oldenburgs, there is 30
hapsburg, Bourbon or Romanotf in
sanity or moral depravity. There is
no Orange or Hohenzollern genius" 1t
appears to us pretty good for king,
as kings go, to have the chance of be-
ing normal, an average man. And
whatever the other strains may be-
uueath him, Carl may think not I'M
kindly on the Oldenburg inheritance.
Having spoken at some length OF
forbears and connections, let us con-
slider Carts own career. He is still
quite young man, was born In CCpen-
hagen in 1872; with his bro hers and
sisters was reared in the old feudal
castle of Amieliensberg, near the CAPT
tai: as we mentioned before, brought up
in an unpretentious manner. He was
educated in the public school, passed
examinations with honoTS; later be-

monkey with YOU"
Bolivar went out in the street and
moved a wide swath, with pa after
him, hooking him all the time, but he
paid no attention to pa. He put his
head under the side of a street car
loaded with negroes that had come to
see the show, dressed in their Sunday
clothes, and tipped the car over on the
side, and the negroes crawled through
the windows and went uptown yelling
murder, while Bolivar went in front of
a grocery store where there was pile
of watermelons, and began to throw
them at the people in the street, and
the negroes thought an elephant was
not so bad. so they came back and had
a feast.
Pa tried to head off Bolivar at the
grocery, but Bolivar took half a
watermelon and put the red side on
top of pas head, and squashed it down
so the seeds and juice and pulp run
down pas shirt and neck, and he
looked as though murder had been
committed, but pa wiped his face on
his shirt sleeve and showed game, be-
cause he kept mauling Bolivar with
the hook. Bolivar broke up millinery
store by throwing tomatoes at the
women in the windows, and he went
into a yard where a woman was
washing and sQuirted the bluing wa
ter all over the woman, and all over
pa, and then he chewed the clothes on
the line, and drove the family over the
fence.
You'd a died to see those milliners
climb over a htxh board fence head

PLAN OF CABBAGE sTOREHOUSE.

PLAN OF CABBAGE STOREHOUSE.
similar to those in use on silos. TightA
fitting bevel doors, also with an air
chamber should be made for the in
side, opening in, while the outside
doors open out. The gables need have
but one air space. All windows should
be double glazed, tightly fitted, ard
with board shutters to be closed in
very cold weather. The roof should
be one-fourth pitch, and any good
roofing material used. 1t may be nee
essary to cell with boards on under
side of rafterS, but there is little dan
ger of frost at this point II made snug
at the plates. Ventilators which can
be closed should be N roof, one for
every "a feet in length. Also a win
dow, which can be readily opened in
each gable. Iron rods, with turn
buckles, should be put In at intervals
to prevent spreading of the building.
1t should be wide enough to allow for
ten-foot passageway for wagons
through the building lengthwise. The
bins are constructed on each side of
passageway, a wall of concrete six
inches wide and six inches high being
laid for the partition of each bin to
stand upon. The bins are four feet
wide, inside measurement, and SO ar
ranged that one Of the ventilators
through the foundation wall already
described will open Immediately under
the center of each bin. The bottom Of
the bins is made of 2x6 hemlocK laid
lengthwise, the building two to three
inches apart, and resting for support
upon the six-inch transverse walls al
ready described, and which are four
feet six inches apart from center to
center. The studding for the parti-,
lions is AKA, and may extend upward
to the rafters; they are Slated up on
both sides with 1x4 stuff, so that an
air space of four inches is between
each bin. This provides for perfect
circulation of air, which is very essen
tial. When the bins are filled to the
height OF seven or eight feet slat
frame is used, resting upon the Stats
of the partition, and the bins are then
filled as high as desired This is done
to avoid having too much weight on
the cabbages in the lower part Of the
bins. and also help ventilation. The
building may be 80 or sc feet wide, and
as long as desired. The inquirer may
construct the building with the pass
ageway wide enough to admit of lay
ing a track and running freight car
into the building, but, says the corre-
spondent of the Rural New Yorker,
think he will find it more satisfac-
tory to load his cabbages with wagons
and teams, especially if re wishes to
weigh them.

sToREHoUsE FOR CABBAGE
How It Can Be Constructed So as to
Withstand Very Low
Temperature.

The construction OF StorehouSe for
cabbage, which would be safe when
the outside temperature was 20 degrees
below zero, is a difficult proposition.
1t can be made so as to withstand that
degree of cold for a short time, but if
such temperature continued artificial
heat would have to be resorted to.
The foundation of the building is built
preferably of concrete. A trench
should be dug deep enough for solid
ity, and the wall should not exceed 16
inches in height above ground. 1t
should be Is inches thick. Ventilat-
ing 1ues, simply wooden boxes six
inches square, are built in the concrete
near the top of the wall four and one
half feet apart, with slides for closing
them both outside and inside. When
closed the fues should be practically
air tight. The superstructure is built
of wood. The stills are 2xS herllock or
pine bcdded securely on the wall.
The studdihg is 2x4 doubled, SO as to
make AKA when extra strength is need
ed rafters, ties and plates of 2x6
stuff. The studding is erected as
the outside, over which novelty siding
of good quality is nailed for the out
side of the building, which should be
painted. In our illustration, a, a, a,
shows ventilating shafts in foundation
walls; b. b, b, the bins.
On the inside of the studs use an
other layer of tarred paper, and board
UP with boards, which should be of
planned timber, but need not be-
matched, but should be free from knot
holes. Inside of this fur out two
inches and cell with paper and
boards as before. This will give two
air spaces, which is considered suffi-
cient in our climate. II much 20 de-
gree below zero weather is feared it
would be we'll to again fur out one
inch and cell with paper and boards,
making three air spaces. The inner
ceiling shoull be of matched pine lum-
Der. The outside doors should be
made of matched pine, with an air
space of at least two inches, with pa
per on each side, the edges beveled

rounded up, don't forget my number,
cause can knock the spots out of any
animal except giraffe" The crowd
cheered pa again and he got down off
the elephant, took off his fire extin-
guisher, and handed Bolivar piece of
rag carpet, and said: Eat it, you old
catamaran, or I'll kill you" and
Bolivar was so scared of pa he eat
the carpet, which shows the power of
brain over avordupois, pa says.
The regular keeper of Bolivar heard
he was on the rampage, and he came
back on the run to conquer him, after
pa had got him back in the tent, but
Bolivar looked at him with a PARKWAY
look in his eyes, as much as to say:
Seems to me l have met you some
where before, but new king has been
crowned" and he took his old keeper
by the back of his coat and threw him
toward the monkey cage. The mon
keys gave the keeper the laugh, and
Bolivar put his trunk lovingly on
pas shoulder, and seemed to say: "Old
man, you are it, from this time out. I"
Pa looked proud, and the old keeper
looked sick. The people in the show
are going to present pa with loving
cup, and I guess he can run the menag-
erie part of the show.
When the freaks heard of pas brav-
cry, the fat woman and the bearded
lady wanted to hug pa, but pa waved
them away, and said he liked the ele-
plant business best.

could belong to circus, and go away

that it would be pretty near going to

first, and Bolivar actually seemed to
laugh. Bolivar run one of his tusks
through a barrel of gasoline, and il
run out on the street car track, and an
electric spark set it on fire, and the
fire department turned out, but the
engines had to all go around Bolivar
cause he wouldn't bulge an inch, but
seemed to say: "Let 'er rip, boys;
this is the Fourth of july"
The circus men began to come with
ropes and club, to tie Bolivar and
throw him, but he escaped into side
street and watched the engines put out
the fire, and he swung around with his
trunk and his tusks and wouldn't let
anyone come near him but pa with the
hook, and he seemed to enjoy the prod
ding, but l guess that gave him cour-
age to keep on doing things.
The principal proprietor of the show
came along, and when he saw pa with
watermelon and bluing water AL over
him, and perspiration rolling down his
face, he said to pa: why dok't you
take your elephant back to the lot,
cause the afternoon performance is
about to Begin" and that made pa
mad, and he said: "You go on with
your afternoon performance, and I
will have Bolivar there all right" and
then everybody laughed, but pa knew
what he was about.
Pa dropped his hook and went to a
hose cart and took a Babcock extin-
guisher and strapped it on his back
and went up to Bolivar, who was tip
ping over some dummies in front of
clothing store, and pa said: "Boli-
var, you lay down." but Bolivar threw
a seven~dollar suit of clothes at pa,

Grease. the Lice Killer.

1t would not seem necessary to buy
insect powder for putting on hens when
common lard may be cheaply had and is
death to iice Lice breathe through
pores in their bodies. 1t does not take
rauch grease to stop up these pores,
when the lice perish for lack of the oxy-
gen of the air. Lice may be killed by
grease, both when they are found on
chicks and when they are found on old
hens. 1t is something of a task to doc
tor a lot of cid hens with grease, but il
IS cheaper and better than having the
lice about. 1t is not necessary to mix
kerosene with the grease, as the grease
itself is entirely effective.

May 6.-We had the worst time at
Akron last week and pa proved himself
a hero, though he was swatted good by
the rogue elephant before he got his
second wind and went for the animal.
We have male elephant that is al
most human, cause he gets on a tear
about once a month, like regular
ugly husband. You can't tell when
his mind is in condition for running
amuck, but suddenly he will whoop
like a drunken man, strike his poor
patient wife over the back with his
trunk and grab her tail and try to
pull it out by the roots, and jump up
and crack his heels together like a
drunken shoe maker, and below as
