THE EDUCATION OF A PRINCE

The education Of a prince is usually
painful to the prince. His head is
stuffed with knowledge that must or
may be useful to a sovereign. The
course of study prescribed for Napo-
leon III. when a lad leaves the reader
wondering that he did not turn out a
dullard. The German princes OF to-
day are living proofs that mental
vitality will rise superior to tutors

Of his own on the subject of the edu-
cation of an heir to-the throne, for the

A Portable High Chair

When travelling with a baby one of
the greatest conveniences is a folding
high chair. This chair is light, COM
pact and safe. and there is no posi-
bility of the baby upsetting it or fall
ing out. 1t can be attached TO the
back of any ordinary chair or car seat
and is easily adjusted to any height.
Every mother who takes her baby
away from home should have one.

What Some Women Spend on Clothe,

WHICH SDtIlu OH &lOtntS
Members of the Chicago Dressmak-
ers' Club says that a few women in
Chicago spend $4,000 each on their
clothes; 100 social leaders spent $50
600 each; 10000 others get along on
$4,000; well-dressed clubwomen man
age TO worry along on $500 apiece;
the modest suffragists and church
workers, who Though few of us pro-
badly noticed IT'D must dress about
alike, spend the same amount, namely.
$500 Having various causes much at
heart, they have other uses for their
money than displaying it on their
backs. The social workers are, very
properly, more modest STILL spending
only $500. The stenographers shop
girls and factory girls spend, respect
lively, $275, $3.50 and 5000. AS the
wages of these girls can not average
above SIS, $40 and IS, respectively, it
will be seen that they spend too much
on their clothes, and yet they could
hardly present a decent appearance on
less. They lose something by not
making their own clothes, but they
must be very strong to sew much after
finishing their days work.-Leslie's

DIR. Able agreed emphatically with
the statement of Prof. William Duane,

chemistry and physics of radium. had
said: The wave of enthusiasm for
radiumtherapy is bound to be followed
by a wave of reaction, but IL is the
duty OF every scientific man not to be
affected by either of these waves, but
to Try to determine the boundary be-
tween the possible and the impossible
in the use of radium."
Prof. Duane, whose address was
technical, and not designed for the lay
miro, told how radium is being used
economically by the method of employ
ing its "emanation." He said in effect
that the rays which radium gives OF

GOOD FILTERS FOR ORCHARD
Excellent Practice Where Owner VIII
Remove Them When Main Trees
Begin Their Growth.

Many a man has put in filters" In
his orchard because he thought the
young trees standing 40 feet apart
were so far away from each other that
they looked lonesome. II we could al
ways picture in our minds eye just
how the full-grown tree will look and
how much ground space the spreading
limbs will cover we would not be so
anxious to put In the 'flllers."
Filters are all right; In fact, they are
the proper thing to use, If the orchard
owner would remove them when the
main trees begin to get their growth,
says an Illinois writer In Farm Prog
ress. That is the trouble; the "fillers"
are allowed to stand until they seri-
ously injure the growth and develop
ment Of the trees that are the main
reliance Of the orchard.
We used to plant cur orchard trees
too closely together. I was looking
over an old orchard the other day
where the trees could not have been
more than twenty-five feet from each
other. The limbs were interlaced and
the trees are of the old high-headed
type, with branches pointed upward.
They are hard to spray, hard to prune
and hard to pick fruit from. We have
changed our ideas of orchard trees
since they were set out and are plant
ing them much farther apart.
With the more distantly planted
trees has come the idea of filters to
use some Of the available space that
looks as though 1t were being wasted,
at least while the trees are small.
Where filters are put out they ought
to be Of the quick-growing summer
varieties.
The tree that makes an ideal filler is
one that is short-lived. When they be-
gin to die of their own accord 1t does
not hurt the tree owner when he has
to cut them out Of the way Of longer
lived varieties.
1t Is hard to cut down q thrifty
and bearing tree, but unless the own
er has made up his mind that he will
do this he should never set the filters
In the center Of the tree squares.
Where there is any market for plums
they make a good tree for this pur-
pose. When the plum is used, some
variety that is not too rank and Wig
orous In its growth should be picked
out.
Pears would make fine filters II It
were not for one reason. A pear tree
lives too long. 1t is likely to be just
at the beginning of its usefulness
when the apple trees around It begin
to crowd In and need more room. You
will get more satisfaction out Of

CHAPTER xxxIIi.
The Voice From the Past.


Though the doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his Of
fee. There, alone with Mrs. Dan
bridge while Shirley waited in the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs. cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands little packet OF
yellow oiled-silk which bore her name.
He noted that 1t agitated her pro-
foundly and as she thrust 1t into the
bosom Of her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen it When
he put her again In the Garbage, he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood. at length. alone In her
room, she sat down with the packet In
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had been
all afire with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was almost
afraid.
She tried to imagine that letters
coming to her-then. Thirty years
ago! A May day, day Of golden
sunshine and flowers. The arbors had
been covered with roses then, too, like
those whose perfume drifted to her
now. Evil news flies fast, and she
had heard Of the duel very early that
morning. The letter would have
reached her later. She would have
fed away with it to this very room
to read 1t alone-as she did now!
