THE STRAWBERRY.
1t Was First Cultivated by a Blind
King of Hungary.

1t Was First Cultivated by Blind
King of Hungary.
Where Eperies, the picturesque Hun
garian town, is now surrounded by
beautiful gardens and fruited fields
there was at the time of King Bella IL
nothing but thick wilderness. Once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
travelling in his realm. It was a hot
sultry summer day, and while search
ing for a shady spot in which to rest
ne became lost. Deadly tired in con-
sequence of his long wandering, he
asked his attendants for drink Of
water. They seated him on the soft,
green grass in the cool shade of big
old trees, and then the cavaliers sep
arated to hunt for refreshing spring.
Meanwhile the king wanted to find
out more about his resting place and
began to grOpe about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them; SO,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The king Chen said to his attendants:
"Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re-
freshing strawberries, Here shall rise
a town whose name shall be Eperies
strawberry in remembrance of this
day for all time"
AS the king commanded so it was.
The wilderness was cleared, and in its
place is d town whose arms carry the
stra wberry even today.

A RHYME TO PHYLLIS.

When Phyllis walks along the sands
Clad in her bathing suit, and stands
And gazes out upon the sea,
I wonder not that nightly
The ocean RACES for space
To hold her in his cold embrace!
When Phyllis for a moment kneels
Upon the beach the wavelet steals
I'D closer there to snatch kiss
That fills it with such utter bliss
That as it rushes back to sea,
It seems to dance in ecstasy.
When Phyllis, when her dip is done,
Lies basking in the yellow sun,
Who wonders as she rests out there.
That suddenly the summer air
Grows languid and the breeZeS die
Away just like a lovers sigh?
And Phyllis daily came to me!
All, would I were that wavelet small
No laggard would / prove at all!
All, would / We're the little breeze
That comes to kiss her from the seas!
Or yonder sun that smiles above
And dowers her with stores Of love.
ESad, I'd even be that grave
Old lobster hiding meath the wave,
That when my princess leaves the shore,
Just nips her toe and asks no more!

Arms and the Tax.

There are sufficient people in Eng
land and Scotland paying the annual
tax imposed by the inland revenue up
on the use of armorial bearings to pro-
duce a sum of $3.50, 900 each year. The
great bulk of this sum is paid by peo-
pie who care not an atom either about
their family of their arms, but pay the
tax regularly simply because they have
carriages or plate heraldically decorat-
ed. The really old families Of the
realm. however, use armorial emblems
for decorative purposes to an extent
almost incredible in the eyes Of those
familiar with them only on note paper,
table silver and carriage panels.

THE LITTLE GRAY DONKEY RAN FASTER AND BETTER

along the highway on her gray donkey,
and Pippino's hand held the bride with
the golden bells.
But there came a day when the prin-
cess royal refused to smile when she
rode.
To-day 1 must choose a prince as
my husband she told Pippino. From
all over the wide world the princes
royal are coming to try for my hand.
The king has prepared a test of speed
for them, and he who wins shall have
my hand and half the kingdom. Each
prince rides the swiftest steed in his
kingdom, and they are to race for love
of me from the steps of the palace to
the giant oak at the base of the Black
mountain On the topmost bough of
the oak hangs but a single curl from
my head, and he who returns first bear
ing it must wed me. 1t is not always
a happy state being a princess royal"
She sighed as she spoke, and Pippino
looked into her eyes.
81 will bring back the curl of golden
hair, princess" he said. The gray
donkey shall bear me in the race
So when all the princes of the blood
royal drew up on line before the steps
of the palace PippinO and the gray
donkey took their place with the rest.
and, though all the princes and the
whole court scoffed at him, still Pip
pino held his own and raced with the
others when the princess dropped her
handkerchief. And the strangest thing
happened, for as they raced the little
gray donkey ran faster and better than
all the rare and splendid horses of the
princes, and it arrived first at the base
Of the Black mountain. On the lowest
bOugh of the tree perched common
sparrow, bat PippinO greeted it in
friendly fashion.
Brother, if thou wilt bring me the
lock of hai< from the topmost bough,"
he said, 81 will give thee piece Of the
royal wedding cake the day marry
the princess"
The little sparrow was delighted, and
he few at once to the top of the tree
and brought down the lock of golden
hair to Pippino just as all the long line
of wearied, painting horses came into
view. And Pippino laughed at them
as the little gray donkey turned and
sped back to the palace like the wind.
But the minute he reached the steps
and knelt at the feet of the princess
and the king with the coveted curl the
gray donkey vanished and in its place
stood little old fairy godmother
''FOr thy kind heart Pippino, thou
hast come from beggar to prince. Rule
with love, Prince Pippino, and forget
not the little gray donkey"
''Nor the piece of the royal wedding
cake" sang the sparrow overhead.
and Pippino remembered both when
he married the princess royal.-New

friends with it. And thereafter up and
down the flower bordered highway
clear to the gates of the kings palace
Pippino would ride the gray donkey
and laugh defiance at the taunts of the
pages on their royal white ponies.
But one cay when the long double
line of ponies began to wind along the
highway PippinO noticed all at once
that something was different about 1t.
It didn't look a bit the way it did on
ordinary days. All the white ponies
had rosettes of pink rosebuds over
their ears and diamond buckles on
their crimson and gold harness, and
the pages all wore long. sweeping, rose
colored plumes in their caps, and two
buglers rode at the head of the line
and played most beautifully on their
bugles.
Pippino was delighted, but very
much puzzled. He stood knee deep in
the wild flowers along the roadside,
one arm around the friendless gray
donkey's neck, and looked with all his
eyes to see the reason for all the pomp
and royal Splendor. And suddenly he
found the reason. The Princess Royal
was riding by.
And there she was, sitting inside the
little golden carriage, among cushions
of pale blue velvet with little gold tas-
sells on them And her hair hung in
lovely long curls over her dimpled
shoulders and looked like tangled
Shreds of sunshine And her eyes were
so blue and tender, and she looked
right out of the window at PippinO
and the gray donkey and smiled.
Just think of having really truly
princess smile at you! Pippino nearly
tumbled over himself staring straight
back at her. but all the pages called
out to him:
'Bow. beggar. bowv'
81 won't bowr' cried Pippino rebel
liously, and then he did a terrible
thing. He DOTTED his ragged cap and
threw a kiss straight at the princess.
She only laughed, the sweetest. mer-
REST laugh in all the world, and then
she blew a kiss right back TO the little
ragged Pippino standing beside the
gray donkey.
"Come hither, beggar lad" she
called, come hither to me-"
Pippino did as he was told.
Thou shalt be a beggar lad no long
err" said the princess. mo one who
has had a kiss from princess thrown
to him can remain a keggar, you know.
have never in all my life thrown a
kiss to any one before. Therefore you
are the most favored lad In all the
world. What wish does thy heart long
to ask of me?"
PippinO thought fast, and his heart
beat so wildly that he was afraid the
princess would hear It. And he tried
and tried to think of something to ask
for himself. but he could not. Then he
looked at The poor little gray donkey
with the chain of dandelions around
It's neck, and he looked from the don
