The latter, though Victoria died January 22nd, 1901, and King Edward mounted the throne at once, did not be- come Prince of Wales until November That was a wait of nine and one- half months. Young Edward had to wait but 43 days. The title of prince of Wales does not belong to the heir to the throne by right. He becomes Duke of Cornwall the mo- ment his father becomes king, but the latter is uncer no obligations, save by an- cient custom, to make him Prince of Wales. The title dates from the year 1284, when it was conferred upon the young prince who afterward became Ed ward II. This Edward was born at Car- narvon castle, in Wales, and was the sec- ond son of Edward I. At the.time he was made ince of the Wash was Jot expected t he would ever sit upon throne of England, but later, the death of his elder brother, Alphonso, made him king, and so the title became merged in the crown. Since then it has been the custom for the reigning monarch to be- stow it upon his first-born son, though in several instances kings of England have ected to do so. e title carries no domination of rev enue with it, but its holder has a seat in the house of lords, and he may occupy that seat and cast his vote even during his minority. But this lege also be- longs to him as Duke of Cornwall, and so he gains nothing by being made Prince of Wales. The late King Edward did not he was 40 years old, and King George, so far as is recorded, never cast a vote there at all. The young prince, it is probable, least 10 years. The fact that no income accompanies his new dignity need not worry him, for the revenues of the duchy of Cornwall are ample for his needs, and it was but a week or so ago that King George informed parlament that there was no necessity for making further pro- vision for him.

With the increasing acuteness of the food question and the consequent neces- ; | sity of developing new sources of food | supplies the American farmer might profitably undertake a more careful cul-' | tivation of the water areas of his prop- | rding on | erty. If his lands inclose or border on a | and lake,around or along an unpolluted stream | | he should make his water iots yield crops as | i regularly as those he gathers from his’ fields and orchards. It can be done simply | by pianting fish and looking after them ' ! with even less care than he gives to his | corn and wheat. A 10-acre pond proper- {ly stocked with black bass and yellow : perch and carefully attended to ought to | i yield at least as much revenue every year | !as a similar area planted in oats and ! corn. | Many States are encouraging farmers | i to farm the water by supplying them i with fish for planting, cither free of | charge or at a nominal price. Pennsyl- | | vania appears to lead in this respect, and { this State, according to an official re- | port, has this year produced more young | ‘trout for distribution than have been i turned out by the great hatcheries con- | ; ducted by the Federal government, the : i Sumber being estimated at nearly 12,000, | In addition, the Pennsylvania hatcher- | lies have produced 223,000,000 pickerel, | | 426,000,600 yellow perch, 93,000,000 pike perch and 143,000,000 blue pike, besides | + 19,000.000 shad, 39,000,000 lake whitefish | and 120,000,000 lake herring. Unfortun- | ; ately the out put of black bass is not stat- i | ed, but it undoubtedly runs into scores of | millions. The farmer who proposes to | ! farm the water should give first attention l | to the black bass. The latter is one of i | the hardiest,cieanest and most wholesome i | of all fish, and his bravery as a fighter | invariably lures the paying angler to the | | waters where his species has its abiding ! place. | i | | | Women are to Blame in a great measure for home unhappi- | ness.

He said that he | had lived comfortably and enjoyed all the | pleasures that a reasonable man could | ask for. He spoke highly of the climate | and the character and hospitality of the le. “Australia is practically an undeveloped country.

It is somewhat curious that so use ful an invention as the visiting card should have been unknown to socieiy Yet 150 years ago the carte de vieite did not exist. The belles of the seven. teenth century used nothing in the shape of an name ecard, or “ticket.” as it was afterward called. Invita- tions to routs and drums as well as names and addresses were written across the backs of playing cards, which in those days were made with 2 white reverse and innocent of the {intricate pattern familiar to us in modern times.

DAILY THOUGHT. | The foundation of every noble character is sin- cerity.—Anon, We all remember the wedding march + in “Lohengrin”"—how the long file of pages and maidens carried aloft the ail waxen tapers as they marched before Elsa de Brabant and her mysterious defender— and perhaps it has occured to some of us that the bridemaid’s boquets seem rather a frivolous substitution for the big sol- emn tapers. To such as may have thought 80 it is a pleasure to know that this an- cient custom of bearing candles before the bride has been Tetons and that in the , South particularly the “candle-light wed- ding” has been chosen by many of this | year's brides. At one wedding in Atlanta the bride candles as her principal decoration. And in deference to the old impressive ; custom she selected six young gir rang- | in age from 10 to 15 years, to bear tall ca- thedral candles before the wedding par- | ty. Following these came the bridesmaids, | carrying shower boquets of maiden-hair ferns, tied with white silver gauze ribbon. | Rows of tapers were placed all over the house—on the mantle—and the result was an effect which everyone declared to be more charming than anything they had ever seen, Too many Clothes.—It is a mistake to buy too many clothes for fall and winter wear. Better have a few nice ones and keep them well pressed and cleaned than to have too many. The fashions change quickly and this year's styles cannot made over to advantage. A good tailor- ed suit with several shirtwaists will be sufficient for many a woman who goes but a little. Or if she prefers the one- piece dress, then a long coat of color, cut and material suitable, both for street and evening wear is an excellent purchase, This, of course, refers to the woman, who buys as few clothes as she can possibly get along with, and that is much wiser than buying too many. The girl who makes up what she terms “stacks” of un- derwear will find it would have been bet- ter to make a smaller number of gar- ments, for the dainty lingerie becomes yellow when laid away. Individual Towel.—It is coming more and more into general use. It is a pleasant and dainty custom. It costs no more in the longrun, requir- ing but a little extra care in sorting the laundry and arranging the towels in the proper places for eachmember of the fam- ily. These towels vary in size from 16 by 27 inches to 18 by 30 inches. They may be simply marked with the initials of the owner, or they may be | elaborately embroidered, as they are when offered as a gift. | This individual towel also solves the | problem: “What shall we give the men | for Christmas?” | Almost every man travels some time | during the year, and nothing is more con- | venient than a few of the small, easily { packed individual towels for the traveling 2. i When the fashions changed so quickly | this autumn, from plaited skirts to | straight ones, from long coats to short { ones, from gathered sleeves to tight ones, i a woman looked at her last year’s coat ! suit in dismay. | She thought it hopeless to try to alterit, | and she wondered where she was going | to get the money to buy a new one, when | there were curtains needed in the parlor, | a carpet in the living room, and new china ! for the table. ; And there is no woman so entirely care- | less of the fazhions that she doesn’t wish | to look as though she knew what they | were even if she has to follow them afar. | She wants her clothes cut by the right | lines, which is far more important than to { have them made of expensive stuff. The American woman of every class is intesely ambitious about her clothes and her house, and she wants to have a little of the best in each. When she found that her last winter's suit was all wrong in October—as it wag— she had a right to feel hopeless. She ma have put a deal of money into it with the full expectation that it would last two seasons. She waited awhile to hear that the fashions would revert to what had been, but as this rumor didn’t start, she made up her mind to see what i could be done in the way of alterations. Hereis what can be done: If the skirt is plaited all around, with the material cut away, so that it cannot be made over, she wants to add a band of the same fabric, or one that harmonizes around the knees. The width of this is determined by the figure. If it is possible to take any fulness out of the back in order to give it a flat line from waist to hem, it should be done: at any rate the plaits should be stitched down to the foundation, to the lower edge of the applied band. It is assumed that the skirt is short, so that it will not have to be altered. - It wants to be cut off about three inch- es from the floor. The coat should be cut off to a becoming | line below the hips. About three inchesis good measurement, but this is not al- ways becoming to every kind of figure. If there happens to be any flare in the back, or at the side seams, the fulness should be smoothed into the seams and taken up. The long shawl collar should be re- moved, and a short one put in its place. The wide sailor is in first fashion, and smartens up an old coat in a remarkable way. oS double-)rgusted i i. but thi il gle-breasted fastening | gra Sf ilk; butter fast fis ofan 7 i an hour, stirring to ing.
