December tbe 11th jg now as solemn
a day in tbe life of ber majesty as it
was over ZO years agn, when the oele
trated tbo first monrnful anniversary
of tbo d-'ath of her beloved consort.

alone at tbe tomb, then tbe rejoins her
family. Lot she seldom interchanges auy
word with them for some time after the
podls of tbe shrine hare closed behind
her. During the afternoon Ehe visits the
rooms chiefly occupied by tbe prince in
his lifetime, two of which have Lieu in
every respect preserved intact. Nothing
has been altered within their walls, and
tbey are always kept locked, the doors
never being opened except fur the pur
pose cf cleaning, or whe-u her majesty
in person crosses tbe threshold. At in
tervals she introduces some visitor into
tbe apartments, but this exception is
only made iu favor cf kif.ua iieur rela
tive, and even then it is cf rare occur
rence. In tbe evening cf the 14tb her majes
ty sjviuls most of her time iu reading
over the letters she received from tht
prince fche has carefully preserved ev
try lino he ever addressed to bcr. These
are divided into three series. First,
those the prince consort wrote to her
during his brybood and early youth,
when there was no idea cither on tha
jart of the writer or the recipient,
whatever their (seniors may have pro
posed, that the tie cf consulship be tween
them sJioqiJ be changed for a warmer
lind. Then coma tbosa written during
tha riipup,eMcut, which were probably
lllled with doubts and fears similar to
""s.ulIi as are experienced by young lovers
tif Its'S exalted petition, for we have
learned from her majesty herself that
the was not easily won, aud that even
bfter she bad promised to become the
iriuee's brj.lii she still hesitated, trying
with her own huppinr.sg aud talking of
further preparation and continued post
ponement. In the end, as she soon ad
mitted was right ho should, the young
prince said he n:cst l.ae :i definite time
named for the marriage, and he prob
ably added that he ce;uld not settle down
to make his lift eithrr nseful or pleas'
aut while this oncertaiufy continued.
The third pile of letters-, the smallest
of all, are thrwe written by tbe princf
after bis marriage. He was so seldom
separated from his queen wife that
there was little call f.?r correspondence,

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The Party Tbey Didn't Have.
"Well, Jark, di yen know it is about

"Oh. dear," said Mr. Frost, "it

"Yes," said his wif, "but we nin't

"Well, let me think. Wo will hava

"Ye, acd doa't forget my dearfrleDd

"Oh. no!" replied ber busbaud.

First came Mr. Northward and Miss

though Mr. Southwind would not have

What Ktliel Saw.
Oca day as Ethel was si'ting at the
front window waiting for it to stop
raining, so she could go out riditrg with
her mother, she saw a little carriage,
drawn by six ponies and driven l.y a lit
tle fairy. He told Ethel to get in. which
sho did. In a few moments she saw a
little house, from which strains of mn
sio and tbe merry peals of laughter were
coming. They stopped in front of tbe
door, and the fairy jumped out and told
Etbel to follow, but she said: "1 cannot
pet through that door. I am too largo."
The fairy bunded ber a bottle, from
which be told ber to drink. She t:xik a
drink and felt herself growing smaller
aud smaller, aud at last she was small
enough to go through the door.
Wben she pot in tbe room, she saw a
merry sight, the fairies dancing, talk
ing and having a very fim time. The
fairy that had driven her there intro
duced ber to the Cjnnen Curly and King
Curly.
Tbe queen introduced ber to many
other friends, and she had a very Cue
time.

Ethel woke np and found it bad stopped

Alfonso's Santa Class.
Santa Claus comes to little Alfonso
regularly iu tbe palace at Madrid as he
comes to the commonest child here. The
entire court of Madrid makes a gift to
the little king, first collectively, then
individually One year the court gave
bim a crown jewel to replace ono that
bad been removed during tbe previous
reign and never replaced. After the
'.'removal" of the gem tbe Spanish king
Ubver dared to wear his crown iu public
and it lay in tbe vaults for ten years.
Fcr many years it bad a lopsided ap
peainuce. Lut the father of Alfonso
had a piece of glass, a diamond pasta
jewel, s6t in the pap, and so the crown
has remained unlil the court replaced
the gem a few years ugo.
Alfonso's favorite personal gift are
animals and n:eel nnical toys. He owns
a navy that must be au aggravation to
the Spanish cabinet.
Personally the little king has few de
sires, for beyond dressing well in regn
lation dr.'ss be is a modest youngster,
who is contented with tbe gronnils of
the paiate cud I he society of such chil
dren as are selected fcr him from tbi

Sona Pe3ti Tbit Hare Ca:iMacli
Kiom the I'hil idli.hU T.,rd.
At a ricent meeting of tbe stale.
i.rt i. oral society, iu Philadelphia,
Prof. W. T. FYrnahl, state econoinist
and 7.TohgisI, gave au iiiterehling talk
on '-.Some of the Ii:sect Pests of Shade
Tret s and How to Control Thetu."
Out of the maiiy hundred varieties
of these pests, heselecKd a the subject
of his remarks those which had prov
ed most destructive ia tbid city l..st
year.
It was quite evident that the pro
fessor was no friend to the Kngli.-h
sparrow. He regards hiui as having
Uen naturalized tinder false pretenses.
He neither .tt the caterj.il In rs, w bicll
be witi credited with being f..nd of,
nor h-ei: 1 c ht our nntive bir !i live in
tbe city, ti. any of whom did have a
lasle for the crawling peats. For this
reason very many varieties of moths
and ca'trpiliaia aie multiplying in
our ciiict, which the foreign spar
rovf has pre emi ted for a steady resi-dem-e.
Tbe canker wt.rm, of whieh there
are two varieties (tbe fall and spring),
are the most troublesome of the tree
ptsta in tbe city. Tbey feed upon the
folinge of the maples, elms and other
shade trees. The fall variety lay eggs
on tbe twigs in the fall. They hatch
iu the spiing and soon strip the tree of
its leaves. Wheu full grown, they spin
down to tbe ground or craw l dowu the
tree, and go into the ground, remain
ing until fall. The moth comes up in
the fall, and tbe female, being wing
less, crawls up the tree and lays its
eggs in tbesptitig, the worm spending
the w inter in tbe ground.
The l-est r ruedy for these worms is
quite arpat nt, vi. ; The prevention cf
the w bole process. Wben the wingless
moth appears band tbe tree with heavy
paper, covered with printer's ink, to
w hieh the moth w ill stick, keeping the
band iu a sticky condition. If the eggs
are laid on the tie-e scrape them ctTand
burn them.
Tbe tussock moth caused much trou
ble last July. It produces a hairy
caterpillar with & red head, four stiff,
short, upright tufts e.f cream white,
two black tufts extending forward and
one extending backward. It passes tbe
winter in the egg. In the sprirg the
caterpillars batch and pass to the leaves
When full grown tbey spin cocikiis,
which in ubout two weeks develop tbe
nn.l!i, the female of v lib h is w ingles.
She l:-y lid eggs alorg-id.j the e-"-cisiu,
from to "ts.1 These soon
hutch and ase coli.l brm.d of eaterpii'.urs
is product d in late August or Septem
ber. These alo spin cocoons, which
they attach to the larger branches of
the 'ree-s, and ihey rtm.iin iu 'bat state
ovtr inter.
Then there is the bag er basket
worm, which spins a bag which it car
ries about with Itself, gradually filling
it with egg?, and finally attaching; it
to the twigs of the artor vine and
other evergreen trees. Tbe remedy
here is to cut off tbe bags and burn
them.
West End people were much troubled
lust year w ith the elm leaf beetle, a
Ilurc pean ptst which was imported in
1H;M, and has now sprrad as far west as
the Allt ghenies, and from Massachu
setts to North Carolina. It flies to tbe
elm trees in the sprirg ar;d makes
round boles in the? leaves. In five or
six weeks it lby its eggs, which are
very small ai d orange colored, on the
side cf the leif, hi clusters of from live
to twenty. Tin y soon hatch, an! ti e
young tat out the under side e.f ll:e
b-af, not cutting through to the upj r
side. Toe remedy is to use an arseni
cal spray of Palis green, wetting tbe
under side of tbe h'aves. It should he
d ne when the leaves tirst open, so a
t have the p;ison ready for the yourg
worms. -The usnnl way of -.pray ing is
ti let the spray fill n tbe tops of the
leaves. Spraying with arse nical solu
tions is a very elFctive way of de
stroying th-; worms which chew the
leaves.
