PRINCE UNPOPULAR.
SON OF KING EDWARD LACKING
IN TACT AND GRACIOUSNESS.
u Has Ring Of Guards When He Is
Travelling Which offends the
Irish-His Princess Is
Clever.

The operation on the prince OF Wales
was a trifiing one for purely local
and common affection, from which he
had suffered for some time. His gen.
eral health is good and he will be about
next week, says London dispatch OF
recent date. The news Of the opera
ton was published simply because the
king feared, if the fact should leak out.
the public would jump to the conclusion
Of something serious which there were
strong reasons to conceal.
The prince is mere name, a shadow,
to the British public; he has no presence
or personality, and has only limited in
telligence In public he always pre-
sents wooden appearance, and is en-
tirely destitute of the graciousness, good
nature and tact which make the king
so intensely popular. When visiting
Ireland recently, he travelled every
where In a ring fence Of detectives,
and kept absolutely aloof from the peo-
pie.
Although entirely Indifferent to him,
they resented the suggestion that he
went in fear of his life among them.
The king when there went about wholly
unprotected, and responded eagerly to
every manifestation Of good feeling.
The king is strongly liberal in tend
ency, the prince equally strongly con-
servative and reactionary so far as he
knows how. The princes whole idea
of conversation is to ask questions,
which usually display an amazingly UNI
informed mind. He is thoroughly do
mesticated, and worships his father.
though disappearing Of the latter's
friends, whom he studiously avoids. His
passions are fishing and shooting, and
he is one of the best sporting shots in
England.
The princess is clever and ambitious,
and has tried desperately to push her
husband to the front, but is foiled by
the stupidity against which even gods
are powerless.
Though she is by far the cleverer OF
the two, she is not liked, and the SYM
pathies of the people are all with the
prince, this being due largely TO tho
now common knowledge Of his own love
affair, which resulted in his marrying
in Malta to Miss Seymour, and oftheway
in which Queen Victoria forced him to-
ignore this marriage and wed Princess
May
Still, this sympathy is not Of the kind
that is mingled with respect for the
average man and woman say that II
the prince had been man enough to in
sist upon standing by the woman he
loved, and having her recognized as his
wife, he would have carried his point,
especially as he had the moral back
ing of his father and mother, and must
have known that such defiance OF
Queen Victoria would have endeared
him to the hearts of all the people. So
while they sympathize, they are rath-
er inclined to despise, and the prince
has done nothing yet to change their
attitude. (

SPRING HOUSEKEEPING.
Plan the Campaign Thoroughly Be-
fore Beginning the Attack Of
Seasons Renovating.

Begin with the cellar; have 1t thor
oughly cleaned, burn up all Of the rub
bish or have 1t carted away then have
the ceiling and walls whltewashed;
have it we'll ventilated, then-begin at
the top of the house Take one room at
q time. Begin by washing all the knick-
knacks and ornaments that may be in
the room and packing them away.
Any upholstered furniture should be
we'll beaten, brushed and busted and
removed to some other room; the cur
tains should be taken down and either
sent to the cleaner or laundry; the
bed should then be taken down, the
mattresses should be put out in the
sun and beaten and brushed, the wood
work should be washed off, and II
there be any sign Of bedbugs it should
be vanished, the Stats and springs
also. The varnish will dry in in
comparatively short time, and the bed
will be proof against bugs for a year.
Now take up the carpet, and either
send this to the steam-cleaner or have
it thoroughly brushed and beaten in
the yard, and then well swept Rugs
can be treated in the same manner.
After removing the carpet dust down
the walls and ceilings, wipe off the pic
ture frames and paint. scrub the wood
work and floor with sapolio, clean the
shutters and windows. Closets should
be treated to as thorough an overhaul
ing as the room proper. When the room
is thus far completed the carpet may
be relaid and the furniture moved
back.
This process should be continued un-
til each room on the floor is cleaned.
Then the floor below should be pro-
ceeded with. The halls and stairs
throughout the house, with the excep-
ton of the cellar stairs, should be the
last to receive consideration.
If heusecleaning be done in this sys-
tematie way, but one room is disturbed
at a time, the house Is not upset, and
the task is accomplished without dis
order or friction-American Queen.

CULTURE OF NARcISSUS.
A Considerable Family of Bulbs Come
Under This Name and What
the Members Require.

The name narcissus covers not only
the plants known by that name, but
also daffodils and jonquils. Plant sew
eral bulbs in a pot, being guided by the
size, which varies greatly. Use earth
from the garden without the addition
Of fertilizer, If 1t is moderately rich.
Bulbs should be set so only the top
shows above the soil, and after water
ing thoroughly, set the pots in a cool,
dark place in the cellar.
They should be watered two or three
times during the six or eight weeks
they remain there, and when the roots
have reached the bottom OF the pot,
the plants can be removed to a sunny
window. They require liberal supply
of water, especially after buds begin to
show, as otherwise many Of the buds
will blight. From the time the buds
are half grown until the flowers fade,
the soil should be kept wet like mud.
Bulbs can also be grown in bowls Of
water, being more strong In that way
than when grown in earth. The poly
anthus sorts are especially valuable for
this purpose, and as florists often keep
dormant bulbs on hand, almost all win
ter, one can buy them and start them
into growth at any time. Six bulbs Of
the paper white, or three Of Chinese
sacred lily, are used for six-inch bowl.
A half~inch layer of sand is placed in
the bottom of the bowl then a few
pebbles, on which the bulbs are placed,
more pebbles being scattered among
them to hold them firmly in position.
Water should be poured into the dish
till 1t comes up to the middle Of the
bulbs, and the bowl be set away. in a
shaded situation for three or four days.
After being placed in sunny window,
the leaves will grow rapidly, and in an
incredibly short time the plants will be
in blossom.
Plants grown in water are much more
easily hurt by heat, so one must be
careful, and after buds begin to grow
large, the bowls should be removed to
a cooler situation or many of the buds
will blast before opening.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN.
Very Attractive Things This Spring
Are offered for the Little Ones
in Materials

Children's spring clothes are lovely.
They will wear as many checks and
plaids as their elders, black and white
shepherds plaid receiving special ia
vor. For early spring nothing is prets
tier A touch of bright red in the trim
ming relieves the somberness OF the
black and white, and makes the plaid
more youthful. Mohairs, because OF
their wearing qualities and dust-shed-
ding powers, are highly recommended
for children's gowns. Little girls
gowns are trimmed and embroidered
nearly as deliberately as their mothers
There are one or two points OF differ
ence to be observed. Young girls do not
wear elbow sleeves, nor are their party
gowns made with low necks. For one
thing a growing girl is usually thin, or
at any rate her figure is uniformed, and
low necks are not becoming. Again,
they are considered to be in bad taste be-
cause too dressy. A half-sleeve might
be permissible on very dressy occas-
ion, provided long gloves were worn.

"ENCLISH" OF AMERICANS.
Forms Used Which Are Not Alto
gether a Corruption of the
Old Language

American Is by no means always a
degradation of English, as many sup
pose. In some respects, says T. P.s
Weekly, the new" country is more con-
sentative than the "old" one. 1t retains
forms which we have forgotten Got
ten," for example. When the professor
says he has gotten cold, one is back in
the times of James l., when He hath
holpen his servant Israel" was COLO
quail, and longs to ask a wife across the
breakfast table if she will holpen sec
opd time to backon. But the preserva-
ton of the subjunctive mood is the most
remarkable instance Of American con-
servatism. Here is one instance from
the telegFapAic note of reporter sent
to write up lynching case 'The
crowd demanded that he promise not to
send the negroes to Savannah" Is
there a reporter on any English pro-
vincial paper with such a reverance for
the delicacies of language when in a
hurry with the wire? On this side we
have almost dropped the subjunctive; it
lives In the new" country. Many fine
old words live in their fine old signih-
canoe across the Atlantic, jostling the
new ones. AS an instance of the jost-
ling, | may mention the two girls from
Kansas City who were coming up the
stairway to the sun-deok of an Atlantic
liner. Hurry up!" said the one be-
hind, showing. There was a friendly
struggle. From my deck chair lazily
remarked that there was feud brewing.
WELL" said the girl in front. IF any
one tries to boss me l get spunky." She
was talking English literature and
American slang in breath.
But America has developed some fine,
swift. short and effective expressions of
its own to atone for the unnecessary
length of its elevator The railway
train is 1.-The cars" the permanent way
is the track" and the non-alcoholic
beverages you take on the way are soft
drinks" For the Latin pavement" Is
substituted the English Sidewalk" and
a splendid triumph of brevity comes
with grip" which is the, bag in which
you carry your nights kit on the ears"
The two people who invented the one
lift" and the other grip" should
be one in language and love.

THE VOGUE OF LACE.
Many Kinds Are Employed in Divers
Ways of Trimming and Some
Can Be Made at Home.

This is a wonderful season for lace.
Hardly any kind of lace is out OF fashion
altogether, even Irish lace, which was
temporarily retired, having been re-
stored to full favor. In robes and sep
arate coats heavy embroidery and lace
are combined with excellent results.
French crochet lace and English eyelet
embroidery were combined in moder-
ately expensive robe. The skirt was
round and had two circular fiounces, and
the waist was bolero to be made up
over finer lace or chiffon blouse.
Trimmings Of hand embroidery com.
bined with real lace are very beautiful
and often very expensive. A clever
woman could make these trimmings her.
self, perhaps using bits of boarded lace
and thus bringing down the cost. In this
connection, it is suggested that instead
OF buying lace and embroidery inser.
lions, 1t is often economical to buy the
all-over embroidery and cut 1t in strips.
A little fine scanning or beading on the
edges adds to the effect The economical
woman is likewise recommended to
study the many collar and cuff sets
marked at such extravagant figures, and
to observe that plenty of them are quite
possible to get up at home for half the
money or less. OF course, the woman
who can embroider, and does not con-
slider the time wasted, can make almost
any kind Of a collar and cuff, but those
who cannot may combine embroidery
and lace to good effect. Transparent
yokes and sleeves are also possibilities
for home manufacture. The ones in the
shops must be carefully studied, and a
pattern perhaps will be necessary. The
rest Is a matter of patience.

that the professor, who happened to
appear on the threshold of his room
at the moment at which she appeared
on that of her own, took flight pre-
cipitately and ueemed 1t more prudent
to address her from the protecting
shelter of his door.
MRS. CoDO," he called out in an agi-
tated voice. some one has been play
Ing foolish trick upon me. A bag of
carefully-selected celts that had in
my room has been removed. l would
not have lost them for anything. They
are certainly preglacial and therefore
of the utmost value. Please ask Mr..
Cobb to come and"
But" interrupted the lady, fearful
ly, Mr. Cobb amt ere. | don't know
what's become of I'm. Ali" she cried
as her eyes fell upon a scrap of folded
paper that lay upon the chair at her
side, whats this?"
Adjusting his glasses and coming
close to the window to get the full
benefit Of the morning light, the pro-
fessor read:
Deer Martha: always sed as wat
was cut out for sumthin more than
grocery an now It's hear | have took
the professors bag of gold he wont
miss 1t as he nows ware to find plenty
more don't bother about me as ime
running away ime going to London to
lede a gay life your loving husben
Elijah Cobb.
The professor looked from the paper
to Mrs. Cobb and from Mrs. Cobb to
the paper Then the absurdlty of the
situation got the better of him and he
broke into roar of laughter till his
mirth was stopped by fit of coughing.
Mrs. Cobb, brought back from her
hysterical grief about the same time.
started to her feet, prepared to de-
nounce in free and easy terms the be-
havior OF people who hold the misfor-
tunes OF others up to ridicule. But as
soon as the professor got his breath he
spoke quietly and to the point.
Your husband is making q fool of
himself, Mrs. Cobb. Don't be alarmed.
We will have him back shortly and
ask him for an explanation. Get
some one with trap to drive me to the
station. He can't have had a very
long start and he will have to walk
slowly with a heavy bag like that.
Gold. indeed! My good woman, the
contents of that bag have no value at
all to the people he is likely to meet.
II he had only taken the trouble to ex-
anime his booty first he would have
found that out for himself"
Mr.. Cobb returned and spent several
days in the effort to convince people
that the whole thing was nothing
more than an elaborate joke that he
had got up on his own initiative at the
professors expense. But nobody be-
lieved 1t then and nobody thinks of
believing 1t now. Still, as l have said,
since that time Mr.. Cobb has strenu-
ously endeavored to live down the one
blot on an otherwise spotless career,
and wish him success in his effort.

Chicken Pot-Pie.

Gut up a chicken Cor an old hen).
put it In three pints of water to loll.
When it is done there should be about
a pint of water in the kettle. Add a
pint of milk and one cupful of cream,
if you have it, if not rich milk will do
with four tablespoonfuls Of -four, salt
and pepper to taste. Set on back OF
the stove, as 1t burns quickly after
the -four and milk are added. Just
before putting in the milk make a
crust of one quart Of flour, one-half
cupful lard, one teaspoonful salt, one
teaspoonful soda, two cream tartar.
Add milk enough so you can spread in
a pan, bake in a long sheet. When
done cut in squares and put on platter.
Turn the gravy and chicken over it.
Serve with mashed potatoes, celery
and squash. A three-pound chicken
cooked this way makes dinner for ten
persons, and is no loss for a smaller
family, as the crust can be wet and
set in the oven, while the chicken is
warming, and be just as nice as be-
fore.

Birds That Save.

All birds of the crow tribe, rocks espe-
cially, exhibit tendency toward win
ter-like squirrels and some other ami
mals-to lay up a store of provisions for
their sustenance against a season OF
scarcity While jackdaws select holes
of trees and old buildings to store away
such provisions, rocks convey them away
to their rookeries. There in last sea-
sons nests they deposit them. Toward
spring time, when they begin thinking
about setting their houses in order, they
visit their rookeries and, when rebuild
ing their nests throw out the unused
store. Thus it is we often find an accu-
mutation of acorns, potatoes and what
not on the ground under their nests

A NOVEL RED LUNCHEON.
Hostess Should Have Not Only Can
dle-Shades and Flowers, But the
Food in Color Harmony;

Red is a color grateful to the senses at
this season of the year, and dinner all
in scarlet would be, l should think, a
particularly pleasing affair, and one
which the hostess whose resources are
not unlimited could manage successful
ly herself.
The candles can have shades OF red
silk with the fringe Of beads so popular
now; or they can be of red crepe paper
decorated with one of the flower species
(also In the tissue) that you have en- en-
ployed as table trimmings.
Again, a simpler shade cut OF rough
water color paper in the colonial shape
may be hand painted with poinsettias or
roses or carnations, as the case may be,
Single brass candlesticks are much in
favor just at present, and there is re-
viyal of the fairy lamps used decade

If SCOT falls on the carpet, cover it

The most satisfactory method OF
sprinkling clothes is to use a good

1t will remove all spots.
To clean black cloth-mix one part
