Pretty Little Scene.

There was pretty little scene when
the party landed and came up. the
broad steps to the pavilion. The prince,
tall, slender and boyish- looking, but
still with an erect, military carriage,
handed his bride proudly up. Then he
presented to her. with a stiff, military
about. All bowed deeply, but the Eng
hsh girl shook hands with each quite
simply and naturally. She is a pretty,
dehcate-featured little woman, who no
more than reaches her husband IS Shout

thing white, wore a simple garden hat
and carried a bunch of roses. AS one

was originally intended for the bride
of Germany's crown prince, but was
rejected because the Germans did not
want another English princess on the
throne, one could not but wonder
whether this was a love match and
whether there was happiness or sor-
row ahead for the. dainty little Con-
naught- in her new home. She looked
a bit weary, but not in the least nerv-
ious.
Is The Worthy Burgon1aster.
The last man to be presented was the
worthy burgomaster, who was very APP,
back a bit and delivered his address of
welcome in a loud voice amid intense
silence. The prince had evidently
foreseen some such emergency, for he.
too, was ready with speech which he
thersupon delivered with great apEomb.

FRUIT TREES PLANTED
ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Unique Beautifying Methods Adopted
at Baden, Germany, Which Pro-
duce a Revenue.

The people in the grand duchy of
Baden, Germany, have adopted most
interesting plan for identifying the
country without any ultimate expense
20 the taxpayers. Almost any man Is
glad to see his section of the world
beautified and made more pleasant to
live in, if it does not increase taxes
This plan in operation in Baden is
the planting of fruit trees along the
government highways. Along the pub
lie pixies in this historic German king
dom have been planted cherry. apple,
pear and walnut trees.
One of the most beautiful pictures and
at the same time home-like, is presented
TO the traveller in the fruit season as he
rides or walks along the road, with the
trees burdened with red cherries and APP
pies. and later on ripe pears.
The most interesting part about the
system, however, is that it pays its own
expenses When the fruit is ripe, the
public auctioneer proceeds from tree to
tree and auctions the fruit to the high
est bidder. The fortunate man has to
harvest his own fruit, and he is held
liable for the careful handling of the
tree.
The amount realized from these sales
goes toward the maintenance Of the
system, the propagation of young trees
their planting and cultivation, and other
expenses.
In 1902 the sum of 9,055 was realized II
this manner, and in 1903, a bad year
the amount of S5,371. The cost of main
! tanning the system in 1902 was $3.50, and
| in 1908, $3.50, showing d surplus in the
| two years Of $4,4e5 and $371, respectively
