LAST Of an Historic House.

Prince Charles de Beauveau-Craon, whose
marriage 10 the daughter of the Count and
Countess de 81. Aldegonde has Just taken
place in Paris, is one OF the few great
french MOBILES who IN addition 10 their
konors are grandees OF Spain and princes
q the Holy Roman Empire. and therefore
sntitled by the latter high distinction TO be
addressed as serene highness. He is the
sixth prince Of his line, Is about thirty four
wears old, and like the fairy tale hero OF
or childhood, the famous Marquis de Cara
has owns a great number of chateaus. in
eluding the ancient castle Of Craon, In the
DEPARTMENT Of Meurthe-et- Moselle, which
has been the home Of his family ever since
1870, when Pierre de Beauveau married
Jeanne, last of the then already ancient
house Of Craon. The present prince is also
MARQUIS de Beauveau and Marquis de
Crson. his title of prince OF the Holy Ro-
man Empire having been registered by
teuis XIV, who added thereto that OF
french prince.
The family OF Beauveau, who came orig
inaly from Anjou has furnished 10 France
field marshals, ministers OF state, ambassa-
doris prelates and men OF letters. Prince
Marc de Beauveau-Craon was made the
mentor of Duke Francis Of Lorraine, and
when the latter became German Emperor,
as husband Of Maria Theresa, he was ap-
pointed Viceroy of the Grand Duchy of
TUSCANY. which Francis had exchanged for
his Duchy Of Lorraine.
Prince Charles another Of the family,
ven fame as a soldier in the latter part Of
ne eighteenth century, and eventually be-
x..- I..o fv,tp nf
Louis XVI. meeting his death IN his sew
tnty-fourth year on the scaffold In the
Place de la Concorde with the perfect calm
that had always been one Of his distinguish
oe traits
ths present prince is the only male sur
wvor Of his line, and unless his bride pre-
rents him with son in due course another
rreat historic French house will become ex-
tnct, since none Of his German or French
honors can In this case pass on TO female
heirs.
The one blot on the escutcheon OF Craon
Is the fact that his paternal great-grand-
mother was the famous Nine de Cayla' the
fsyorite OF Louis XVIII. One Of her daugh-
ters by Louis XVIII married the third
Prince &c Beauveau- Craon. and brought 70
him the immense wealth given to her MOTH
er by the King.
Nine. de Cayla was the daughter OF Ad-
'ocate General Omer Talon. and was edu-
Gated at the famous school OF Nine. cam
pan. where she had as companions Hortcnse
De Beauharnais, mother Of Napoleon III
Caroline Buonaparte, a consort Of King
Murat Of Naples: Mile. Leclaire. -ho oe-

To Grow Early Cucumbers.

Early cucumbers, like almost all 9TH
err vegetables and fruits, are in strong
demand at handsome prices early in
the season. The first on our own olcal
the season. The first on our own local
later they sell for three for dime. and
still later at two for a nickel AS soon
as everybody begins to bring them in
they soon drop to n comparatively low
figure and remain low the rest of the
season There is seldom any profit TO
speak of in the late crop, except for
pickles.
To secure early cucumbers that will
bring the highest market price.they must
be started in a hotbed or dollhouse ear
lier than the usual time for planting
them in the open. Some gardeners that
make specially of growing cucumbefs
for the early trade, use wide hotbeds
heated by fire. one 80 to GO feet in
heated, although much longer ones are
in common use. a common hot-bed
without artificial heat, however, will
give good results in starting the early
plants.
Choose a sheltered and sunny situation
for the hotbed for starting early cucum-
bers. Use enough fresh manure to give
the desired bottom heat. according to
the latitude and climate. Make the sur
face slope or 4 inches to the south.
The seeds are to be planted in hills
in the hotbed in boxes or bands so that
each hill can be lifted and reset at plant
ing time in the open ground without
disturbing the plants in any way. Com
mon strawberry boxes are perhaps the
best and most economical for this pur-
pose although finch paper flower pots
which are used extensively for starting
early plants, may be employed Where
strawberry boxes can be secured in the
better, and may be used without the bot
toms or lacking the rims. Place the
seed boxes together within the hotbed
frame and fill with fine, loose fertile
soil. Very fine and even soil must be
