Ring Edward's grandchildren were immense' favorites with him: Often, • early in the, morning; be. would walk over to York Cottage,' ;where his arrival was received with shouts of delight, and spend some hours in the prettily -laid -out gar- dens there,smoking his cigar and. watching the children at play, en- ` tering into their enjoyment with obvious delight. Queen Alexandra once remarked that His Majesty was as "great a chill as anyone," and his delight was unbounded when the news of the birth of the present Prince of Wales was an- mounded to him. His first action was to telegraph to the late Queen Victoria and re- quest that the old-fashioned bassi vette that had been used for him- self and his brothers and sisters might be sent for the occupation. of' the new arrival. This is neither hung, as is the modern style, nor is it on rockers. To it is affixed a silver plate with the, inscription :— "This bassinette was made for Vic- toria, Prihcess Royal (the late. Exna press Frederick of Germany) in 1840, and was used by all her Majes- ty's children, and was given by the Queen to the Duchess of York in 1894." READY FOR NEXT. It was beautifully furnished for the use of the Prince. The sheets were of the, finest Irish lawn, em- broidered in the corners with the Royal arms, surmounted by the crown and trimmed with Valen- ciennes lace. The pillows were to match. The blankets were of white Yorkshire wool, likewise bearing the badge of the Royal :arms, and several eiderdown quilts accompan- ied the gift. In this dainty cradle dl e each of the children of Ring George and Queen • Mary has Islept, and her Majesty has passed many Happy hours by its side. It has now been carefully stripped of its hangings and packed ayrav until such time as the Prince of, Wales can have it passed on to hint, PRINCE'S "HAT TRICK." asa,n interesting story is told in the same ssrtiele concerning Prince Al- inert. Kitig George's second son, who is tli cricketer of the family, and among whose most treasured possessions is 'a ball, now mounted on a .silver stand, with _which he clean bowled with successive balls Ring George, the Pril%e of Wales, and Prince Arthur of Connaught. One day 'the late Icing • Edward was prevailed upon to play in a game at Windsor, between sides captained respectively by the Prince of Wales. and Prince. Albert. His Majesty agreed to take a place in the Prince, .of Wales' team, provided he was not called upon to field. There was every prospect of a very close finish, and when there only re- mained his Majesty to bat, little Prince, Henry expressed his fear to Prince Albert that they were going to be beaten. "Pooh !" said the latter, "there is only grandpa to come, and I can bowl him any time." His words proved ,correct, for Ring Edward succumbed to the first ball sent clown by his second grand- son. IIA7'S WORN A,T TABLE. This .Rale or 1'tinueite Laid l)osrn ' in 1673. • Seventeenth century etiquette prescribed that hats should be worn at table. •• "The Rules o • Civility, or Certain Ways of Deportment," published 1673, gives some direc- tions on this point. Under the sup- position that "a person of quality detains you to dine with him," it is laid down 'that "when the person invited is seated he must keep him- ' self uncovered till the rest sit down, and the person of quality has put on his hat" . . . If the person of honor drinks a health to you, you trust be sure,to be uncovered. If he speaks to you, you must likewise be uncovered till you have answered ihim. If one rises from the table before the rest, he must pull off his bat." A trace of this etiquette lingers in the House of Commons, where a member is always allowed to wear ,his hat only when seated.—London "Chronicle." To. Br PRECISE. New Cook—When. I serve dinner should.I say "Dinner is ready" or "Dittoes. is' served ?" Mistress—If it is as bad as .last night, just say "Dinner is 'spoiled." TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE INTERESTING COSSIP . FROM THE QUEEN CITY. A Clergyman's Mistake -The Race electing --Premier Borden's Visit -Beattie Nesbitt's Return. (Vila have arranged for a weekly letter about Toronto' ,affairs,. which, .wo believe, will be of great interest to many of our readers. These letters will be from the peri of one of Canada's foremost, joarnie lists, a man who has covered some of the world's greatest happenings anu now oe. enpiee a, leading position oil oeo.. of the Toronto elailies,i Rev.

IIe boasts that he turns all the fees over to his church fund, but the fees as a rule from his patrons are not large, thougli the' Chinaman. gave.him $10. /.ir. Morrowhas been using plenty of other methods of raising funds. Snorting organizations, in reoo,",nition of his in- terest in athletics and his former =twines as 0 sprinter, have raised a goodly sum, but the goal is still a long way off. Some of the wealthier congregations have given generously, and when Mr. Morrow gets a chance to go in another minister's pulpit ho tolls a touching story of his work among the down and outs and his strug- gle with the financial question. But large subscriptions are infrequent. Apparently to many people Mr. Morrow is eccentric. WOODBINE GAYETY. Possibly the gayest social function, in the Toronto calendar is the opening of the 0. J. C. spring meeting at the Woodbine. It is a scene not to be duplicated any- where on the American continent. United States race meets Lire not society func- tions. They draw a sporting crowd pure and simple, And none of them has the beautiful- setting that the.Woodbine pro- vides -the lake across the meadow, the unsurpassed green sward, the stately elms and the flower beds. Given May sunshine and May breezes the whole Betting is idyllic. The crowd is the most cosmopolitan that gathers in Toronto. It cuts society in a vertical section., The highest in the land is there. So is the lowest. About the stables one may see some rare specimens of humanity. So, also, in the public stand and betting ring. Some are, no doubt, attracted thither by the love of' "man's best friend," but most have the fever of gambling in their veins. PREMIER IS DEMOCRATIC. The first visit of the Right Honorable R. L. Borden to Toronto since his acces- sion to the Premiership was the occasion of a warm welcome, as was natural in a city which is so strongly devoted to his cause and party as is Toronto. While Mr. Borden's character seems on the sur- face to lack something of warmth, news- paper men know him to be one of the easiest public men in Canada to inter- view. His predecessor. Sir Wilfrid Lau• rier, refused always, and still refuses, to be quoted in an interview about anything. Mr. Borden, on the other hand, rarely de- clines to be interviewed, though, natur- ally, he does not make important an- nouncements by this method. To say that he is easy to interview does not mean thathe is a seeker of publicity, or has not a keen sense of dignity. Quite the contrary; Sir Edmiaud;:Ogler, his host during- his visit, has" always'eipreeeed hinfeeit as a warm admit of Mr. eloxden,a .obilit`_3ts and oharae l' ;Sir ntttnutlix -14 one or Canada s w lthiest. men, the :Canadian Pacific and Northwest "'lands having fur, niched • liime with. the means of fortune - building. LIVE WIRE IN LACROSSE. The lacrosse situation has been touched by a live wire this season, said live wire being no less a personage than our old friend R. J. Fleming. General Manager of the Toronto Street Railway, whose chief hobbies heretofore have been Jersey cows and Sunday school activities. Until last year "Bob" Fleming did not know a lacrosse stick from a baseball bat. "Then he had the Toronto Lacrosse Club given to him. It was literallyforced on him. The owners had been losing money. They saw no way of getting even. Thor had been playing on the Toronto Railway Company's grounds at Scarboro Beach, and so they went to the railway's man- ager and calmly informed him that it was up to him to take the team oil' their hands. He went to ACC his boys play. They lost. Ile decided to get some new players, But, he was informed that under the rules of the N. L. A. he could not engage new playere at that stage of the season. The incident shows what a novice he was, But this year he was not to be fooled nen the Appetite Lags A bowl of St Totstks with cream hits the right spot.

Now. to get from' the Chicago train to the jail without running into .0 reporter. or a photographer was a problem 'that rave a new turn to the game of life, but as a game which offered some measure of enjoyment it appealed to the jovial doctor, and as such he entered into it with his accustomed zest.

At the present .ime the Toronto and Montreal stock exchanges are showiug the , greatest activity for • some months Past. Several' important investment and semiinvestment securities like Rio de Janeiro Tramways, Sao Paulo, Winnipeg Electric anil Toronto Railway -not to men- tion C. P. R. -have been strong and ac- tive. Of late, however, there has been a decided prominence given to the common sharea of a number of industrial coin- - 'sanies, which inay be justified from a speculative point' of view, but which no one should -purchase under the inipree- Won that he was investing in the true ^ sense of the word. For those who can ,afford to take chances, and can dispense with income from their investments for some time to comb -several years, per- - haps-there is something to be said for well chosen purchases of industrial com- mon stocks. Anyone, however, who is suf- ficiently well versed in the financial situ- - ation to make such purchases with pro- per discrimination requires little further in the way of general financial education. For the average person --particularly those away from the chief centres, where information (of a sort) more or less hi - formed may be had for the asking --it is the reverse of wise to "dabble" in the stock market. That, of course, is all they would be doing were they to purchase these securities at the present time. The most recent of the common shares to move were those of the "Steel Company of. Canada." Most of this stook was given away to the promoters and as a bonus to underwriters of the bonds. As such ,it represents merely the value placed on "goad will," and at present, and for some years to come, is chiefly "water:" that is stock created for various pur- poses for which no money is paid, and, therefore, represents 00 investment of 'cash in the plant. When in years to come tho increase in the value of the Plant and other assets has justified giv- ing a value of par for this stock the "water" is said to have been "squeezed .Ont." The earnings on "Steel of Canada" cont- nion shares are about 3.8 per cent. It should be some years before :any diva dead is attempted on the eomnion shares g acid so they are not worth what they are selling for to -day, though the specula- tive chalice that a d x ui xv do d paid maybe 1 sooner than generally expected gives them a value in the market quite dis- tinct from that which one would give them from an investment, point of view. • Spanish liver Pulp and Ontario Pulp and Paper Companies' common shares have also been moving excitedly for some time neo' but as those interests closest rte: the inside are at. a loss to justify the cent prices- for as yet carr, lours do not til; blast . though they may before long ' 4 xz.t nxueh 10 : be said on chld r, agar+te like Sawyertelesr.ey eerie ere 'moving upwards too.- The S;i.w- l:asse> -common stock is doubtless nearer dividends than many others more recently 'issued, but the water hasn't vet ',been ,squeezed out in a sufficient degree to justify -the purchase of the stock as an fevestmont, albeit an an remunerative one, •fot =there is no dividend in sight for :some. years on that stock either. The policy of not paying dividends un- til a good substantial reserve is built up is a sound one, and any shareholder who urges Ills company to net otherwise is so eager for the fruits of the present that he ;iroparclizes the possibilities of large crops, in the future. And so, anyone who buy, non -dividend industrial common stock. at the present time', unless he bias rca.ou to think the period of reserve building is at an end, is not invest ng wisely.

Sunday morning in Holland is ! stran,wely different from the same l occasion in this country. In the first place, a great many of the church- goers travel to the place of worship In their boats, and the canals are often ,packed with people in their full Sabbath attire. The Dutchman is a very devout church -goer, but he takes his religious service with con- siderable, ' comfort. In the first place. • except when devotions arc actually in progress, he smokes his pipe . or ei a2 within the sacred building.:. Whilst waiting for the service to begin the congregation talks in ordinary tones, discussing matters of interest, and new-com- two doctors, and many remedies, without finding a eure, 1a.s there seemed to be no let-up to the plan. Finally I was advised to try'•Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I began their use. Soon I found the pains becoming less and after taking the pills for some weeks the trouble en- tirely disappeared and has not since bothered me."

Hippocrates Wrote 'Treatises on ' Fractures and '4'6'0111 5. There is no doubt that some rough form of surgery must have existed from very ancient times, but it is strange to find that so coma plex and delicate an operation as trepanning is one of the oldest. So far as actual records go, Hippo crates gives us the earliest account. He wrote treatises on fractures, dislocations, and wounds of the head, in which he described the method of procedure to be followed in the case of a fractured skull. His direction was to cut away a piece of bone so that the pressure on the brain might be removed. There are also records about this time and later of a file being Used for this purpose, which at a time when anaesthetics were undreamed of.lnus't have been, to say the least, painful. According to lDr, T. Ince Holmes, the operation cif removing pieces of bone was performed long before historic "times. The effects on the skull are easily seen after death, and are visible as long as the bones are preserved. From inspection of certain skulls of the later Stone Aye in Ancient Britain Dr. 1rloimes has. come to the conclusion, as he an- nounced in a leoturo at the Royal, Institute, that some of these had undergone the operation, which must have been performed with a . stone implement.

They offer the strong security of first mortgage on 6,oao square miles of pulpand timber lands—which are insured at Lloyds against fire. The earnings of the Company at present approximate Twice the bond interest. The new pulp mill in course of construction will double this earning power. Purchased at their present price they pay interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The best posted investors in Canada and England have purchased these bonds.
