Much Like His Grandfather.

The elder members of the royal family,
and more especially Queen Alexandra.
are extremely interested in watching how
the present Prince of Wales is develop
ing many of the characteristics Of his
grandfather. In some respects he is eH-
tremely like the late king when his
ma jesty was the princes age He has
much of his grandfather's impetuosity
and frankness Of manner, and the same
thorough, hearty way of laughing when
he is much amused, and he has, by the
way. fallen into habit of clasping his
hands behind his back when laughing at
any incident or story that greatly amuses
him, habit that he has certainly IN
herited from his grandfather.
In appearance the Prince Of Wales in
many respects recalls that of the late
king when he was boy. But he is OF
slighter build. and he inherits his fea-
lures more from the maternal than from
the paternal side of his family, but his
eyes. though of a darker blue. are very
like King Edwards, and his whole eX-
preston. especially when the prince Is
much amused " interested. isSvery like
that of the Prince of Wales OF half d
century ago.

Good Memory for Faces.

One of the most notable characteristics
which the prince has, in common with the
late king, is a remarkable faculty for re-
membering faces. In this connection an
interesting little story was recently told
to the writer which is, perhaps. worth
repeating. The prince, with the king and
the Princess Mary, was travelling to
Sandringham, and was standing on the
platform at ST. PancraS when man
passed who raised his hat TO the royal
party The prince smiled and nodded to
him pleasantly, whereupon the KING
asked the heir apparent who the man
was Oh replied the prince, II don't
know his name, but L know his face
quite well. He is one of the railway
people. ! remember talking to him a
couple of years ago and asking MIN iot
about signaling He was quite correct
though he had not seen him for two
years he recollected his face instantly.
The prince has only quite recently
opened a private banking account, but he
has had accounts with various traoes-
people for clothes, boots, etc, for some
time, which. SO far, have been paid by
the king. His royal highness, though not
at all what might be termed a DANDY
dresses extremely well, and Is. moreover
excessively particular about the manner
in which his clothes are cut. and exhib-
it's in his attire that wonderful sense OF
what might be called proportion III
matters Of dress which was SO marked d
chara cteristic of his grandfather. At all
the public and private functions at which
he has appeared since King Edward
death he has hit upon exactly the style
of dress most suitable to the occasion,
and 7 do not think he has done so as
the result of suggestion. but simply by
following his own judgment
The prince. Of course, will not for some m.
little while have a separate househoio.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. July To- 1911.
Very few young princes have so promi-
nently figured in public at SO early an
age as the Prince of Wales, who has
recently been very much before the public
and who will very shortly pay visit
to the court of Berlin and make tour
Of the world. with a possibility of taking
in the United States by the way. The
prince is shy and boyish. more boyish
perhaps than many lads of seventeen.
This is because until this year he has
been kept in the background. but he
has courage and is bright and Is said to
be more observant than his father.
The present heir to the throne was
brought up in freer and less artificial
atmosphere than was either his father
or his grandfather. This was done at
the suggestion of the late king, with
the hearty concurrence Of the boys par
ents. During King Edwards life, he. OF
course, as sovereign had supreme con-
troll over all questions relating to the
education and upbringing of the future
heir to the throne. and since young Ed
ward was seven years old the arrange
ments made in the matter OF his educa-
ton were finally decided upon by the
late king 1t was particularly the wish
Of King Edward that his eldest grand
son should be accorded as much liberty
as possible in the matter of selecting
his friends. He took this line because
Queen Victoria exercised her authority
very strictly about Albert Edward s
friends. and there Is no doubt that though
II was done with the best intentions in
the world the late king had several
friends forced upon him with whom he
had little or nothing in common and
whom he never personally much liked.
Allowed Great Freedom.
Young Edward has been practically al
lowed absolute freedom in choosing his
personal friends, and in young Lord
Wendover and Mr.. Edward Knollys, son
of Lord Knollys. the prince has found
two intimates whom their majesties would
probably themselves have most desired
to be his companions. Beyond these two
the Prince of Wales has no very init
mate friends outside those of royal
rank. though no doubt he will soon be-
gin to enlarge his circle of friends.
He has been fortunate in his tutor, Mr..
Hansell an Oxford man, who has had
charge of the princes studies for seven
years now. Mr.. Hansell was given prac.
charge He was strict disciplinarian,
but a very wise one, and though the
prince has passed from his charge
great friendship exists between the two.
and when the prince is at Balmoral or
Windsor his former tutor Is his constant
companion on shooting and fishing eX-

School of His Own.

1t has often been said that Sir Ell
don Gorst belonged to this or that
school of diplomacy This is to be
doubted. Rather did he found a school
of his own, and one In which he had but
few followers. Possessed of unwearying
tact and patience, there could have been
but very few problems to which he could
not have found an acceptable solution.
Down to the day he quilted Egypt he did
not despair OF one day bringing round the
leaders Of the nationalist party to his
way of thinking. Certainly he was pre-
pared to confront them as dauntlessly as
ever.
Rebuffs and betrayals had no effect
upon him. He did not arrive at any
decision with that swiftness that so often
characterized his immediate predecessor
in Egypt. Rather was he disposed to
examine a question from every possible
standpoint before making up his mind
to the proper line Of conduct to pursue.
1t was this trait in his character that
led to him upon many occasions being
accused of being slow of thought and
action and very wavering in his conduct.
This was distinctly Unfair. He possessed
that rather rare quality on the part Of
diplOmatist of being quite willing to &C.
knowledge that he had made q mistake
and that he was prepared to adopt quite
a new line of action when the occasion
demanded 1t. Once he had made up his
mind, however. he would be as inhexible
as drawn steel and would break before
he would bend.
The bowls from both Egypt and Lon
don that greeted his Sanction of the press
act concerned him not I'm the least. He
had devoted more months of earnest
thought to the subject than his detractors
and opponents had hours. and he knew
perfectly well that the moment of drastic
action was we'll ripe That drastic action
he did not hesitate to take, despite any
disapproval that he might meet with
from his nominal superiors at home
very notable figure is removed. He has
not always been understood as he de-
served to be understood. Possibly pos
terity will pass more faithful. and q
more Just opinion upon his endeavors.

Birth of Aaronautica,

It was on Aug 1, 1767. that the Scotchman Black of Edinburgh filled little bag with hydrogen gas and watched 1t rise to the ceiling of his room. and 1t was right then and there that the science of aeronautics was born. Cavendish had only a little while before proved that hydrogen gas was about eleven times lighter than common air. and it occurred to Black that, such being the case. light bag inflated with it would ascend. The experiment in his room in Edinburgh showed that his surmise was correct.
 It was not long after Black made his demonstration that Montgolfier sent silken balloon up into the heav- ems and watched it careening through space, and the following year, 17S3. the ontgolfiers-Joseph and Stephen made a successful ascent in a bal loon. The same year Charles ascend ed in a hydrogen balloon to the height of 9.770 feet. Ballooning was a suc- cess. and in an amazingly short time it became popular in an lands.-New York American.

A Poet Who Dreaded Fire.

Thomas Gray, author of the "Elegy," had weakness in the form of a nerv- ous dread of fire. His chamber at St Peters college. Cambridge, being on the second floor, be thought 1t likely that in case of fire his exit by the stairs might be cut off. He therefore caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms projecting from the outside of his win dow, designing by a rope attached thereto to descend in the event of a fire occurring. This excessive caution led to practical joke by his fellows. One midnight a party of students thundered at his door with loud cries of Fire, frey' The nervous poet flew to his window and slid down the rope to the ground, where he was hail. ed with shouts of laughter. The win dow, with its iron apparatus. Is still shown. it is said. Gray's delicate na- ture was so shocked by this rough joke that he changed his lodgings.

The Bitter Bitten.


 A Philadelphia man went to dealer to purchase a dozen homing pigeons and was both surprised and delighted at the extremely low price asked for the birds. The bargain was finally concluded and the pigeons delivered. Two weeks later the gentleman hap pened to be passing, when the dealer stopped him and asked him how the birds were getting on.
 "I don't know" replied the gentle man. T have not heard from my friend"
 "Your friendw
 "Yes; I bought them for man in San Francisco"
 The dealers jaw fell in dismay. and then. with a rueful laugh, he admitted that be had sold the birds so cheaply because he knew that on being releas- ed they would immediately return to their old home. But from San Fran ciscoi 1t was clear case of the bitter being bitten.-St Louis Globe-Demo- crat.

Tsnnyson's careIessness.

Tennyson. like Thackeray, seems to have been careless about his manu- scripts. Some weeks after leaving his lodgings in Mornington place, Hamp- stead. he wrote to Coventry Patmore from the Isle of Wight telling him that he could not find book of elegies- a long. butcher ledger-like book" and that he had some obscure remembrance of lending it to Patmore. ''If so," he concluded. "all is well; if not, will you go to my old chambers and institute a vigorous inquiryY Patmore, not hay ing the book, went to Warrington Place, but was assured by the landlady that no such article had been left there. He insisted, however, on going to his friends old rooms, up two pair of stairs.'' to search, and there in small cupboard where Tennyson had kept bread and tea and butter he found the lost "book of elegfes"-the manuscript of '1n Memoriam."-London Spectator.

LAWSUITS AGAINST
 BISHOPS ARE SELDOM
One Now Pending Against Bishop Moore In Which Complainant Is Woman

Lawsuits against bishops don't come along very often, but wondrous Kan sas reports one. The Methodist wom- en of that state have two home mis- sionary societies, it appears the younger organized and run by Mrs. Carrie E. Cope of Topeka. The story goes that in some way this younger society got hold of 8 beQuest-or part of a bequest-to which the older laid claim; this made trouble Then Bish- op Moore wrote a letter to one of the older society's officials, that made more trouble. 'I think" he wrote. you will never see cent of the be- quest and a dangerous precedent will be established unless you energetically sustain the Kansas conference in pushing the matter to a legal conclu sion." Of Mrs. Cope the bishop said in his letter: "As to the bequest. nothing comes of all her promises. Nothing will, in my judgment. MT. Jackson, while seeming to act for her. has set on the heirs to bring suit for the property. You are juggled, trick ed and beaten" Mrs. Cope demanded a public apology, and didn't get it. She appealed to the board of bishops for satisfaction, and didn't get that. Then she brought civil action for li- bel She complains that she has been pained. humiliated and injured by Bishop Moore's letter "as citizen, as a wife, as mother and as a Christian she asks for $50,000 dam ages--Hartford Courant.

I;f. of Gown.

"A lawsuit in which women's clothes are the center of litigation teaches even a woman many things she never before suspected about the clothes she wears" said a well dressed woman. Hast week was present at trial in which woman was attempting to secure full insurance for gowns dam. aged by fire, In the expert testimony 1t was asserted no dress has a money value in law after it has been worn ten times. According to that theory, every gown owned by the plaintiff had outlived it's usefulness before the fire came along to complete its destruction and with the exception of a trif1ing sum representing the actual worth o1 old material the insurance company was absolved from its obligations.

Birds anu F,shs. and cIass.

A correspondent recently reported what he described as the ''curious freak" of blackbird flying against a trarlor window many times at the same spot continuously. Such an incl dent is not uncommon. Birds have been known to fight for hours at a time. day after day. with their own image reflected in pane or glass, pecking and nuttering against the pane and quite exhausting themselves in their fury to demolish the supposed rival It is another instance of how the arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the birds. 1t Is the same with fishes. Darwin tells a story of a pike in an aquarium separated by plate glass from fish which were it's proper food Tn trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned. It did this for more than three months before it learned caution. Then when the glass was removed the pike would not at tack those particular fish. but would devour others freshly introduced. 1t did not at all understand the situa. ton. but associated the punishment 1t had received not with the glass. but with particular kind of fish.
