TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE.
Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf-
ficient to Lead Hearers to Ex-
pect the Worst.

The Shakespeare club of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once social celebrity, with gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting had only four words to say:
1.-THE queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vcciferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in high
pitched voice: "The swoon has
queened."
There was roar of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an
other attempt:
"The sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fall
setto, as he was assisted off the stage,
he screamed: 1.-THE coon has

BESTOWED Kiss of Homage

There is no other living doctor who
has had so many honors showered up
on him as has Lord Lister, the discov-
erer of antiseptic surgery, who cele-
brated his Sind birthday the other
day. Of all the tributes to his
genius, however, probably the most
touching was that paid to him by Pas
teur, the famous French scientist. At
a meeting of savants in Paris many
years ago, Lord Lister was present,
and his brilliant achievements were
explained to the audience by Pasteur.
AS he progressed in his speech, he be-
came more and more emotional, and
at last he was so carried away by his
own eloquence that the tears stood
in his eyes. Finally, he stepped down
from the platform, took Lord Lister,
who was in the front row of the audi
ence, by both hands, led him bask on
to the platform, and kissed him on
both cheeks--after the manner of the
French-in full view of the assembly.
Few could have looked on unmoved 1T

Many ideas in regard to women
have entirely changed, and among
the better and wiser changes is that
old thought that the women who
were given to good works must needs
be dowdy. 1t is undeniable that

ness as sort of hall mark of vir-

is merely mark of bad taste and

Good results from mulching fruit
trees cannot be expected unless suffi-
cient amount of mulch is provided to
prevent the growth Of grass. 1t should
be eight inches deep over a circle the
diameter of which is at least two or
three feet greater than that of the
branches. Many of the failures where
mulching has been tried have been
due to the fact that the mulch has
been packed about the trunks of the
trees or spread so thinly that it had
little effect upon the growth of grass.
