By virtue of his rank he holds these

wail, Duke of Itotheetty, Earl of Car-
4/11e- rick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the
•Isles and Great Steward of Scotland.
Baena he was twelve years old the
• future King of England had passed hie
examinatioa at the Royal Naval Col-
lege, Greenwieh, and, in company with
his brother, he wite entered all a paval
eadct on beard H, M. S. Britannia at
Dartmouth. After four yeare on the
Britannia, the two Princes were trams-
ferred to the Bacchante. They had: now
attained the rank of midshipmen, and
to the younger brother at least, "a life
on the ocean wave" was beginning to
offer considerable allurements. R was
while on the Bac,chante that Prince
George first made the acquaintance of
the Greater Empire of Bribain beyond
the Seas. The ship was ordered to the
West Indies. She touchedat Gibraltar,
arriving at Barbados on the Christmas
Day .of 1879.
On the 14th *of September of the fol-
lowing year the Bacchante set out on
a more extended cruise across the At.
lantk.
On May 1st, 1883, Prince George was
gazetted a midshipman on board the
Canada—the Duke of Clarence having
in the meantimes ben entered at Trin-
Re- College, Cambridge. The Prince's new
ship was attached to Admiral Sir E.
Commerll's squadron for service on the
North American and West Indian Sta-
tion.
On the return of the Canada to Eng-
land; Prince George went up for his
examination as a sub -lieutenant. He
seeured a first-class in seamanship, and
afterward a entered at the Royal Naval
College, •Greenwich, He was gazietted as
full lieutenant on October 8th, 1885, In
the following year he received an ap-
pointment on the Thunderer, and he
served in addition on H. M. S. Dread-
nought and H. M. S. Alexandra, the
flagship of the Duke of Edinburgh, who
was it that time in command of the
Mediterranean Squadron.
In 1889 the Prince assumed his first
independent command ds officer in
eharge of "Torpedo Boat .79."
In January, 1892, the nation passed
through le great loss. The Duke of Oar-
* ence, heir apparent, succumbed to a long
illness, and Prince George, who had
looked forward to a sailor's career, was
called upon to fave new responsibili-
ilea On relinquishing the command of
the hielampus he was created Duke of
York,- Earl of Inverness and Baron of
Killarney, assuming some time after-
wards his traditional title of Prince of
Wales. The next important event in
his career was his marriage in July:
1893,- to the Princess Victoria Mary of
Teck, who, ae the "Princess May" has
endeared herself to the English peo-
ple.

ess of Teck. and she iedocended on her

and on her father's side, is a direct de-
scendent from King George IL Her
mother. who .died a few yeara since, wee
the .darteheer of Adolphus Frederick,
Duke of Cambridge, the seventh son of
George IIL. whose father waa Frederick,
Prince of Wales, eldest son of Cleorge
IL, and Caroline of Anepach. The title
of Teck comas from an old castle, near
the Danube, indicating the Gernutp strain
in the family.
The early days of the Queen's life
were for the 'most part, uneventful, At
the age of eixteen or seventeen, after
being educated laegely at home, she was
taken to Florence, Italy, where the en-
tire family remained about eighteen
months. It was in the Italian city that
the young priheesa enjoyed her first ball.
While in Italy, Princess Mary became
much interested in Italian art, and had
already given evidence of considerable
niusical talent. After being confirmed
by the Biehap of St. Albans, she attend-
ed her f irst drawing room in 1886 and
during the entre period appeare4 at
two state functione.
At the time of her marriage to Prince
George, she was a mature -looking young

GERMAN GARDEN CITY.
The One Near Dresden the First of
Its Kind in That Country.
Just on the outskirts of Dresden there
has sprung into existence during the
last two years a garden city, the first of
it kind in Germany. Berlin has made
attempts in this direction, says the Daily
Consular and Trade Reports, but they
were more as a form of land speculation.
Hederau is in a healthy location, two
miles distant and about- 300 feet higher
than Dresden. The wooded parts are
preserved as much as possible. The 345
acres are divided into one section for .
cottages, the other for villas. The
streets are already laid out and all are
to be provided with gas end water con.
neetions and with drains. Arrangements.
will also be made for a supply of elec-
tricity.
The cottage section is built by the
Helleratt Building Society and the house's
are rented to members only. Member-
ship is seeured by taking a share equal
to $47M0 and the liability of the mem-
bers ends there. Interest up to 4 per
cent. is paid on these shares and any fur-
ther profits are divided among the com-
munity. Tenure is fixed and the tenant
may leave at a year's notice.
Cottages are built to rent at $62 to
$150 annually. Each cottage has a gar-
den, a large cellar, separate scullery with
built in boiler, pantry, water closet on
the ground floor, easily accessible attic,
gas for cooking, electric light and bells,
water connection, and, if needed, accom-
modation for domestic animals. The
smallest cottage consists of four rooms,
kitchen and living rooin on the ground
floor and two bedrooms on the upper
floor, large enough for a family with two
or. three children. During last year 150
of these cottages were built and are now
occupied. For 1911 an additional 150 are
already planned.
In the villa quarter residences are to
be had at a rent of .$200 to $500 and
over, with steam heat, warm water to
the bedrooms and other conveniences.
• Construction is undertaken by the Gar-
den City Company according to the
wishes of the intending tenent. The
• house and grounds are then let at a rent
proportionate to the cost of building and
the value of the land (5 1-2 per cent. of
the former and 6 per cent. of the latter).
The land is valued at 13.2 cents per
square foot (in the cottage quarter at
9.3 cents per square foot.) The tenant
must provide four -tenths pf the cost of
building and 4 per cent. interest is paid
on this sum.
An artistic uniformity of building is
guaranteed by a building commission,
the sanction of which is required for all
plans. Electric light is supplied from
the power station of the German Insta
tute of Technical Arts at a cost of 9.5
cents per kilowatt hour; gas costs 45.4
cents per 1,000 and water 30.8 cents per
1,000 cubie feet.
Preparatory schools are provided for
the younger children; there is an Instis
tute of Technical Arta, and a small nurs-
ery which undertakes work in the gar-
dens of new houses and a email school of
gardening could easily be attached to
this. There is an electric car service
from the city ont to Hellerau, the run
taking about twenty minutes.

TO DRAIN OR NOT TO DRAIN.
LIR piza
mce
Prof. W. II. Day has reeentiy been
making loom calculations on the finale.
cal aide of drainage. A farmer bas elfty
acres that ie rather wet, but although
not drained it gives, say, ;15 per acre.
The value of the crop for five years in
succession, together With c*mPound
in-
tereat, would be $4,144 at the end of
the five years. lf, however, he were to
draM ten acres of the land oak year,
and If the drainage increasea the- value
of the crop by $10 per acre (which- is
a low estlinete), then the value of the
crop for five years, with interest, would
be $5,748. After paying for the drain-
age'with interest, he would have left
$4.124, the nine within $20 as if he had
not draiued, but if he drained the \thole
59 acres at onee then the five crops, with
interest, would be worth $6,908. This,
'after paying for the (treillage would
'leave him a balance of $5,121, withal is
$977 more than if he had not draened.
During the next five-year period drain-
age by the austallmene plan would net
hhu $1,604 more than not to draM at
all, and the complete drainage would en-
rich him by ;2,764 more than no drain-
age.
The price allowed for drainage in the
caleulation was ;28 per acre and the in-
crease In the crop was placed at ;10 per
acre. As a matter of fact the increase is
usually worth much more than this, SO
that the computation ie, somewhat un-
fair to drainage, however it is better to
err on the safe side.
But the increase in crop is not the only
return from drainage. The value of the
land is largely incerased. This Is illus-
trated in the case of a certain farm in
Lincoln County. It was bought for $6,-
000 about two years ago.. Last year $2,-
000 waa spent in drainteg it, and it has
since been :told for $12,000.
The Department of Physics 0. A. C.,
over which Professor Day has charge,
has a large staff engaged in making
drainage very busy. Those who whet sur-
veys made this fall should apply at once,
as there are nearly as many applica-
tions in as can be attended to this sea-
son.

are explained In Bulletins 1,74 and 175,

ment of Agriculture, Toronto.
DAIRY RECORD CENTRES.
The new extension work of the Dairy
Division, Ottawa, Is causing many en-
guirlea to im made. For the benefit of
our readers it may be explained that of-
ficials are, now located in Peterboro',
Lanark and Oxford counties, Ontario;
St. Hyacinthe and .tironte, Quebec; and
at Kensington, P. E. 1, with a view of
gathering specific information as to the
.exact standing of the dairying industry
iu the district. Each such distriet is
termed a dairy record centre. .Each
farmer within a certain area will be call-
ed on, and there .will be obtained from
him a statement as to the number of
cows, the type of sire, the weight of milk
sent to the factory, the milk used at
home, the cost of feed, and so on: When
these statements are compiled there will
be definite and valuable information for
the encouragement of other dairymen. It
is intended to follow up this work aloe-
ly for some years, both inthese and in
other sections.
The recorders are paying special atten-
tion to the encouragement of cow testing
in these districts; they are already col-
lecting weights and tests of about four
thousand cows, so that it is evident that
a tremendous impetus is being given to
cow testing by this new forward, move-
ment.
A special bulletio on cow testing is
available to all applicants. Forms for
recording weighte of milk are supplied
free by the Dairy Commissioner, Otta-
wa. When epplying, state the 'number
of cows, and whether forms are wanted
for weighing daily, or on only three days
each month.

AID TO THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS
During recent years many appeals
have been made to the Honorable Syd-
ney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, by
horsemen anxious to bring about an
improvement in the quality of our
light horse stock and who are of the
opinicha that for this purpose an infu-
sion of thoroughbred blood is essential.
Recognizing the force of these appeals
as well as the importance of the sub-
ject, Mr. Fisher had decided to grant
assistance under certain specified con-
ditions to persons maintaining thor-
oughbred stallions for service in
various provinces.
The conditions under which assist-,
mice will be given are as follows:
(1) All horses on account of which
aid is given by the Department must be
registered in the Thoroughbred Stud
Boon of the Canadian National Live
Stock Records.
(2 Horses shall be of good size, qual-
ity and conformation and shall be free'
from all hereditary unsoundness; these
conditions to be ensured by submission
annually to a thorough, careful examin.
ation either at the hands of the veter-
inary direetor-general or such other
members Of the veterinary staff of the
department, or ether persons as the
Minister May front time to time ap-
point for this purpose.
• (3) Horses so approved shall be duly
and properly advertised to sated for
serviee of mares, under the ordinary
and general conditions usual in the dis-
tricts in Which they ere to be kept, at
an annual service fee (except In the case
of thoroughbred nearest of not more
than $10 to insure, such service fee to
become due and payable when mares
prove to be in foal.

ing or controlling any thoroughbred
stallion in regard to which all of the
conditions above set forth shall have
been duly and properly fulfilled, shell,

American Magazine. "When one

further north from New York than
New York is from Tampa.

than one would dare wear in New

In the big onflagration which m-

hundred, voncerna time of them hive,
wome medium and some small itt ito,
were praetkally put out of business.
In the former eines E. W. Gillett Co.
was numbered. A few months after the
fire they moved into their fine up-to-
date factory, which, at that time, look-
ed to be suffithiently lenge for it good
many years. The demand, however, for
this eompany's goodOltas been so great
that they are now forced to either erect
it new plant or enlarge their patient
tine. The latter could baVe been done,
as they owned adjoining vacant proper-
ty, 00 feet frontage by 186 feet in
depth, but even the additional apace
gained in this way would only likely be
sufficient for the next four or five
years. The, management of the com-
pany decided to deal with the question
in a huge way, ead placed their proper-
ty on the market. Within a few dates
it sale had been made to the old reli-
able W. R. Broek.concern.
The Gillett Optimally are now dealing
With plans for it large, new pleat, whielt
will be located somewhere on a railway,
and this plant will likely consist of sev-
eral buildings. Besides manufacturing
Magic aBkipg Pawder and their other
well known speeieltiee, it is the Wen.
tion to manufacture boxes, tin cane,
paper boxes and eVerythine., of this kind,
as well as to grind coin aed other raw
materials used in the business. The
company calculate it will take about
fifteen months to get their new plant
into ruuning order.
THE CENSUS MAN.
(Toronto Star.)
Ilo asked me did I have a vote, and were
my children grown,
ft Was a green-eyed census man who
paused before ray dour,
And when I came. he asked me things
I'd never been asked before,
And did I ever have the pip, and were
xny teeth my own.
And had I married more than once, and
was I married yet,
ALd Was zny wife a red-haired blonde
or was She a brunette:
And did I ever take a drink, and did I
ever swear,
And had I pimples on my neck, and was
my father fair,
And did I keep a Thome seat and were
my boys all girls,
And did I ever wear a wig and wera
times+ reel curls?
And then he tout:hat on baseball lore,
end asked wee I a fan,
And lied I seen Tim Jordan's leg, and
did I like their man.
And then religion caught his eye epon
his lengthy list,
He asked was I a Protestant, or just a
Methodist.
And had I ever been In jail, and if I
hadn't, why
And If I used touch squareface gin, or
lager beer and rye; •
And did I ever cut my corns, or ever
take a bath,
And did I owe the landlord much, but
here I rose in wrath,
And with a club I swatted hint, and
. broke his blooming neek,
"Now ycu will bother ne one else," I
loudly said, "By heck!"
And If you In nIS garbage can should
cast a, wary eye,
You'll see what eeiletts man's remeins
Just where I let him Ile.

(Musical World,)
One of tile fashionable East Side
churches recently witnessed a funny inci-
dent at a choir rehearsal. They were
preparing for the following Sunday morn-
ing a beautiful selection, the first words
of which were "I Am a Pilgrim," It so
happened that the music: divided the
word "Pilgrim," ir,id made a pause after
the syllable. The effect was most amus-
ing. The soprano sang In a high key,
"I am a PII—" and stopped. The tenor
acknowledged that he was a "Pil—" anti
when the bass came thundering in with
a like declaration, "I ant a Pil—" it was
too much for the gravity of the singers,
and they roared. No amount of practice
could get them past the fatal pause with-
out an outburst, and the piece had to be
gly.tn up.

KING GEOHGE'S DIFFICULT
TASK.
(N. Y. Journal of Commerce.)
The occupant of the British throne has
one of the most trying positionx in the
werid. At his peril he must not over-
pass the limits of constitutional sover-
eignty, and must constantly remember
that his true function Is to reign and not
to govern. But neither must he forget
as ministers come and go and parties Ilse
and fall that he Is the only stable rep-
sentative of the State. There is always
a British policy, as distinguished from a
Conservative or Liberal policy, and the
deprsitary of the reasons for that Pol-
ley, to which successful Cabinets bring
their contribution, and from which none
may widely diverge, Is the wearer of
the crown.

An interesting event took :place re-

that a new period of tolerance has aris-

was the Bartnitavah of it lad named Sol-

the ceremony partook of a public char-

In connection with the "Blood Ac-
citeation" which has created etich a stir
throughout Ruseia, the ligorous mos:
urea of the Govtanor ef Kieff have

and even the &erica' organs continue to
disseminate much dangerotia and in-

they are aided by the hical head of the

strongly denouneed the whole affair in

There is an important proposal on
foot to reform "The Chalukah," that
source of much mismanagement devoted
to the welfare of the Jewish population
of Jeresalem, which, instead of asei,st-
ing them, has pauperized them. It is
estimated that the Chalukah amounts
to over $1,750,000 per annum. • Proper-
ly spent, this .money could do immense
good. It is proposed that when Rabbi
Meir takes over the office of Chief Rab-
bi of Jeriatalern that an efficient board
of management be appointed for Jerusa-
lem, and that this board appoint col-
lection agencies in every country of the
world. In this way indiscriminate char.
Hy would be obviated and most belle -
ficial resulta obtained. The taunt of
the late Turkish Grand Vizier that there
are 40,000 Jews in Jerusalem unable to
pay taxes would be without justifica-
tion, and Palestinian institutions and
population would flourish.

WHAT.SHALL WE DO?
Tile prophet must expect to meet with
hostility. eThe true prophet will never
measure his emcees by his popularity.
He disturbs the present order or dis-
order. He announces a coming judg-
ment, a present judgment, and beeoroes
party the author of it, ita instrument as
he turns on the searchlight of God's
truths. He uneovera the hyprocisy, and!
exposes the self-righteousnese of his
clay. This is not popular. Even the vie-
• tims of oppression and dishonesty resent
the intrusion of the reformer. The
slaves hug their chainemore tightly and
cry out to the remancipator: "Let els
alone, who Made thee a ruler or judge
over us?' Men like to hear pleaeant
things from the prophet. They want
the service restful, soothing, aesthetic,
to be so general and indefinite as to
touch no conseience. They are pleated
when local pride or family or church
pride is gratified. But let them not be
disturbed by anything that might sug-
gest the sharp deals of the week or
remind them of their crooked walk.

the burdens that have to be borne. No
