The King has five eons end a daughter. By virtue of his rank he holds these title; Earl of Cheseer, Duke of Corn. 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. Queen Marv—bet full baptismal name is Victoria hfary Augusta Louisa Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes—was born at Kenefunton Palace). London, May 243. 18674 at one minute before midnight. Her parents Were the Duke and Dueh- ess of Teck. and she iedocended on her mother'e, side from English royal stock 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 wonian'about the medium height, of good figiire, possessing considerable grace. In type'she wail distinctly Han- overian—that Is to say, profuse, fair, oval -faced, full -eyed, with a long finely. shaped nose; juet a little retratrese, gen- eroue mouth, somewhat heavy chin, mid high' oheek bones. Her mouth lais trick of curling up at the left side, whieh, with a look of suppressed merri- ment, in her eye& in her younger days, • gave her face a decided interest. In her carriage, and dress, she resembles the preaent Queen -Mother. Before her marriage she lived the life Of the young Englieh girl of high birth. She had a large share of the social and philantheopic cerentonlets that go to Make up the life of every member of the royal family of England. It was because of her oharitable worke and her pleasing personality that she Was so popular with the peaple.

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. ' 4 • e Itfre. Youngbride—Hew do you mane fige to have itteh (Witham meat?

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. The term on which surveys are made are explained In Bulletins 1,74 and 175, which may be had free from the Depart- 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. C. F. W. 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.

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.

THEY WERE ALL "PILLS." - (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. -4-44 • 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. •.• NOT A FAN.

An interesting event took :place re- cently at Seville, Spain, which shows that a new period of tolerance has aris- en in Spain, after 430 years. This event was the Bartnitavah of it lad named Sol- omon Sabel, in the synagogue, and that the ceremony partook of a public char- acter is evidenced by the presence there- at of a large number of Christians, in - eluding the Mayor, several city council- lors, and an ex -Cabinet Minister, 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 averted all danger of a pogrom (Jewish massacre), but the real Ruesian press and even the &erica' organs continue to disseminate much dangerotia and in- ft:Anil-nanny literature, 'The Liberals are Vigorously combating this, in which they are aided by the hical head of the Kieff Dioose Bishop allehael, who has strongly denouneed the whole affair in no uneertain terms. The jewiell com- munity is instituting proceedings against the anti-Semitic newspaper's. But there are many drawbsteke to be cOnsidered. The attack of certain anti-Semitic papere in Germany on the Jewieh com- munity have receiviel s nide setback by a reeent court deeleion. A newspaper made a statement whiell was regarded as it libel by the Jewish community, and an action was taken against the offend- ing paper, and the latter appealed the case, wheat was finally decided by the Supreme Court. The decisfon of the Su- preme Court is remarkably clear end fair. It declares that the statement Inade thy the offending paper was clear- I.v a dungerous libel, and gave eubetant- la( damage e to the Berlin community, - Polo attacked Jews in several Gen- tian towns during the campaign for the election of deputies on account of open declaratiotes of Jetve that they wottid only vote for those candidates who favor Jewish interests. At leskeb, Turkey, a Jewish society lute been formed to provide Jewish sold- iers with the means of spending the Sabbath among Jewish families. • Baron Lambert de Rothschilde, of Brusaels, has been promoted commission- er of the Order of the Legion of Honor. 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.

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. or their neglect to take their share of the burdens that have to be borne.

There was the haughtiness that goes with pride 'of' birth, which multiplies Ito own Oda posed excellencies and exaggerates Me own importance..
