WHEN King Edward. as the youns

high spirits and good looks won him
golden opinions everywhere. There is a
Philadelphia woman-she is, alas, an ole
woman now-who sometimes tells her
grandchildren Of a compliment that the
young prince paid her.
He stopped at the Continental Hotel dur
ing his visit, and he went to the Acad-
envy of Music to hear Patti sing. In
the foyer of the Academy, she. who was
then the belle of Philadelphia's debu-
tantes. was presented to him, and for
a quarter Of an hour he and his equerry
paced the foyer with her.
The eQuerry, wag, turned the con-
versation to the subject Of beauty.
Sir he said to the prince, 81 am dis
appointed in the beauties of America

English girls. Don't you agree with me?'
NO" said the prince. 81 don't I have
seen here in America more exquisite
beauty than I've ever seen at home"
Then he added. leaning slightly across

fudge BEN. B. LINDSEY of the IA
J nous Denver juvenile court said in the
course of a recent address on charity:
Too many Of US are inclined to think
that one misstep made. the boy is gone
for good. Too many OF Gs are like the
cowboy.
IAN itinerant preacher preached to
cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.
He described the foolish prodigars ex-
travagance and dissipation; he described
his penury and his husk-eating with the
swine in the sly: he described his re-
turn. his fathers loving welcome, the
rejoicing and the preparation of the fat
ted calf.
THE preacher In his discourse noticed
a cowboy staring at him very hard. He
thought he had made convert, and.
the cowboy personally, he said
from the pulpit:
my dear friend. what would you have
done II you had had a prodigal son re-
turning home like THAR
Me? said the cowboy. promptly and
I'd have shot the boy and

cattle are from the north, and especially
the milk used by the natives comes
largely from buffaloes. Some OF our finest
cattle are fro mthe north, and especially
from Rajputana. Mysore has some fine
breeds, but the cows are poor mixers.
There are also good cattle in Madras
and in Central India. One of the best
milk breeds comes from the Cir hills
and others are from the Sind, where
they are owned by Mohammedans. who
drive them in herds from one jungle
pasture to another. The Punjab has
good dairy cows, but those OF Bengal
are poor.
We are having trouble in improving
stock OF this kind. The Hindoos look
upon the cows as sacred, and keep them
when they are MANNED, old and worth
less and give no return for the food
they consume. This reduces the grazing
for the younger animals. We have tried
to improve the stock by distributing fine
bulls to the. district boards, but so far
no valuable results have been reached
We find that the half-breed cattle are
more subject to diseases, and we now
have veterinary departments in each
province. We have also government
breeding farms stocked with COWS and
bulls of the pure native breeds. Upon
one of these a thousand cows Of one
breed are maintained. In Mysore the
best breed of cattle has long been kept
up by the state
Have you, many fine horses"
Our horse breeding is chiefly for the
army. We have government farms. and
several hundred stations which are dis
tributed to the districts where horses
are bred. We find that the Arabs anu
thoroushbreds form the most desirable
sires. We have also thousands OF regis
tered mares. Horse breeding is encour-
aged by prizes offered at fairs. and by
the purchase of good stock by the gov
eminent. We have altogether a million
or SO of horses and ponies in India. We
also breeding mules for military Dur
poses and have something like 500 donkey
stations, many of which have been i'm
ported from Cyprus and Italy. We get
them. also. from Spain, Persia and Amer
lea. We have about 25.Goo pony mares
and a large number of donkey mares as
well.

managed by experts from Sweden. There
are also dairy farms in the United
provinces, and little creameres. where
milk is cheap. All dairy machinery Is
admitted free, and of late separators
churns and butter workers have been
largely imported. Much of the cream
goes by rail to the cities. and is there
made into butter, which is sold fresh or
put up in tins and shipped over India
The native butter. or Chi. is also made
in large quantities, as well as some con-
densed milk. Much Of our butter goes to
Ceylon. while the CHI is exported to other
countries for the Indian emigrants. Some
of these dairies have been esta blished on
the military cantonnent farms. They
