the Queen's table and braised beef at
the Household dinner.
(Die mean cards used in Her Ma-
jesty's Palaces are white, and there
is a choice of two styles. One of them
wbich is used ear the Royal table, has
an elaborate border with floral em-
blems, and a dainty miniature of the
castle or palace within the lunette
formed by arching the Upper part of
the frame. fPhe Royal monogram and
crown are Introduced on each side,
while the arch is surmounted by the
coat of arms. The Osborne menu is
also distinguished by a shell device,
whereas the corresponding card used
at Balmoral bas a design of a stag's
head . At the household table a meet,
plainer card is used, wherever the
apart may be, and it bears only the
Royal crown as need upon the note-
paper provided for the ordinary use of
the inmates of the Palace,
Ons very amusing feature about the
menus is the indifferent quality of
tee French. Indeed, a Royal menu
above reproacb from the literary point
at view is rather a rarity, and one
interesting circumstance is that the
side dishes are always mentioned in
•
English, and some national plates,
each as roast beet, and plum pud-
ding, are never disfigured by being
turned Into bastard French.
The Prince of Wales uses for a menu
card a simple sheet of pasteboard,with
the plainest of borders and a crest
containing the Prince of Wales's Fea-
thers and the motto of The Garter.
As a general rule His Royal Highness
eentents himself with a brief dinner
of half -a -dozen courses, of which he
himself partakes of but few, and it
is all over vo. Ion t 'L ' hree-quarters of
an hour.
But there is one occasion during the
year when the Prince lays himself out
to provide for half a hundred guests
a feast fit for Lucullus. This is the
dinner given by him at Marlborough
House on the evenin g of Derby Day.
The menla oard for the occasion is
adorned with a picture of a mounted
jockey, and indeed the Royal host
seems to invite such a comparison by
offering his guests dishes which bear
such names as "Callas a la Lucul-
ins." It is a tradition, also that on
this occasiou the menu should include
turtle soup, venison ortola s, or an-
' 11
other bird 01 the kind and aspara-
p
gus.
On three occasions His Royal High-
nese has supervised his menus with
the utmost enthusiasm -we mean
those of the wedding breakfast which
oelebrated the marriage of three of
' •
hts children. The draft menus of these
were annotated by himself, and the
plan of SOnle of the tables written
out by las own band.

other ills. Of course, the increase
of ailment is, to some extent, due to
the inoiras,e In the swine. Disease
and mortality are always present to
a greater degree as the numbers af

after. You greatly injure chic,
by removing ehean Irate under Lha ben

away from their nest too soon. It
would be, bettor to allow them to re-
Lir the nest without food for 48l

to sat on them that length' of time.
Chicks thus treated will conoe off toe
