Will Another King Reign Over the Frenchmen? The Prinoe of Wales' Visit to Paris and Royalty. Great Wave of Patriotism Passing Over Nation. (From London Home Chet.) The visit of the Prince of Walea to Paris has befelleu at wbut looks rather like au auspicious time. For those who know say that our friends the Frencli are hovering on the verge of having a royel family of their own again, of throwing their Republic overboard a,ntl. going in for a king or an emperor once more. T4re is a new 'spirit on the rampage in France jut now. There is a violent and intense reaction against the old, anti -patriotism rend anti -militarism. The people, they es.y, lire diseoutented with the way the Republican form of Govern- ment is working over there-aer sick of mess s and muddle and mismanagement. They want someone to rule them, THE NEW SPIRIT. There is a thrilling revival of patriot - tem. We over here have not known any- thing quilealike it since the Boer War, 'The present Minister of War Imo revive ,ed the "tattoos" through the streets of paris which previously had not been Neal .for thirty years. in every other garrison towu in France they are held rep/Maly, to keep up patriotic feeling rind an interest in the army. But in Paris, for some reason or other, they were 'allowed to drop., and lave never been revived till now. Every Saturday night the bands of the regiments stationed in the gay eity eeeorted by detachments of troops with their regimental tri -colors, march ehrough the • streets, playing the stirring nuirelies of the French army. "OH, LISTEN TO TB -F; BAND!" And the enthusiasm with which the Parisians greet them is something sue Crowds of pepole-men, women and ;children, bankers and bricklayers, clerks and coal -heavers, throng round them, :march along with them shoulder to aboulder, singing and whistling the tunes they play, cheering to the crash of the chums, shouldering walking sticks as if they were rifles, following the band for miles. Only the other night a crowd estimat- ed at fifty thousand people, thronged round one band and insisted on its playing the "Marseilles." And they stood bareheaded in the ramn. and sang the anthem as one man. HOW SHOULD WOMEN SALUTE? A fervent discuseion is going on as to bow the -women of France shouid salute the Tricolor when it passes, A famous lady novelist suggests that they should give the military salute A popular actress insists that they should ra.iee the right hand. above the head as the Scandinavian women do. Others'pro- pose that they should bow, ourteey, smile or clasp the hands as in prayer as a symbol of the sacredness of their country's flag. Then look how the Mis- tress of the Air campaign -has been tak- en up. It was started as a rather half-heart- ed, hesitating appeal to the publics to subscribe enough funds to buy aero- planes for the army, so that France could be Mistress of the Air as Britain Is Mistress of the Sea. It "caught on" at one. It spread like 'fire in a stubble. The whole French ublic rushed in to give what they could ,o the fund-workmen'students, clerks, actresses, waiters, postal servants, po, lieereen, soldiers, from every town and -village and commune in France. HOW THEY RAISE MONEY. The Director of the Nice Observatory is inviting people to peep at the stars through his telescopea at a franc a time, the money to go to the fund. The children in the selloole are sub- scribing a sou apiece, and raising sub- setaritial Sums by it. The 'women are even more enthusias- tic than the men. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt steps down and takes a eoliection among the audi- ence at her theatre every evening to. wards the fund. She has taken as much Alt £50 in one evening. Several ladies prominent in Parisian society have oub- scribed es much as £600 apiece to the fund. The wife of a prominett balker, being ieiffered a gift of Jewels by her husband, ,suggeeted that he 'should give the money to the fund instead. The very wor1c. girls of Paris have dubbed together to buy one aeroplane. to he called the "M1 dinette." Altogether they have raised ' ongh money to buy a hundred aero- pHtrs. WILL' THERE BE ANOTHER NAPO- LEA' ? Of eottree, to us, this doesn't necear- fty to mean that the French people are hankering after having a king or an emperor again. But those who know France and the 14`ronelz say that it is it frame Of mind Oita is quite likely to lead to the over - Throw of the Republic and a lamorous demand for the restoration of either tile :Nionarchy or the Empire.

A man of fifty, he is not altogether unlike the great founder of the family In face, though he wears a heavy mous: tache that rather spoils the resemb- lance.

Some tine ago a "chicken mai*" was laughed at because ito asserted that the egg received a secretion frm o lethe hen's body proceos of incubation twhieli assisted the chicle to grow and 'batch and that he had secured. some 4e1 ale eeeretion by meena of which he 'was getting equally a$ good results lin the incubator as under hens. Eight year later the Oiregim Expariment Station says in Bulletin No. 100: "It is quite evident that the eggs on which a lien has been sitting llaVe a small, oily deposit on their surface, and •eintee egge from incubator at same stage of incubation show only small - - fraction of this amount of oil it is plain that the oily matter is not de. posited on the exterior surfeee of the shell through evaporation in process of incubation, but is a natural secre- tion from the hen. What the function of tide F:eeretion its, or whether it has any particular function other than to potesibly check evaporation, is not yet determined, but some tests are no uu. der way in hie conueetion which will be reported later." At this station Prof. Bradley experi- mented aa follows to dieeover the amount of oil on the egge: All loose material was brushed off the egg shell, which was then held in tongs and the shell washed with a jet of ether, the washings being caught in a weighed watch glass, The ether was allowed to evaporate, the residue dried and weigh- ed. From hi fresh eggs, three milli- grams of oil were Seettred; the same amount was secured from 12 china eggs two weeks under the hen, while from r 12, hen eggs two weets under the hen 28 nulligt.aint of oil were seeured, and but 4.0 milligrams from 12 hen eggs two weeks in incubator. Whether or not this oil has a function to perfoem in the proeess of ineubation is art itt. terestieg question. It is to be hoped the chicken crank who bottles this se- cretion has the satisfaction of reading this bulletin, which in a way confirms hie arssertion.--Wallace's Farmer. It Jame- be that the above will inter - eat some of the cranks down this way. We are all quite seve there is yet to be discovered the reason why fully devseloped chickens die just before the hateh. We are all experimenting and thinking, trying to dievover the cause, but So far none of us has made much progreee in our investigations. If the above mentioned erank is on the right trailaent trees the game, we will be happy. Mit; tee:r ; ke••••• DOES A 1 -TEN "SPIT" OR "SIT"? An, old subject of diecueeion has been revived and there are signs, in, the ac- rimony of certain editors of Florida, of a serious rebellion against the lexico- graphers. The qbestion refers to to the proper verb to use in describing the net of a hen when she obeys her maternal instinct. It is as important as the re- ligioue schism that rent the empire of Lilliput -when the Bigendians persisted in making it a matter of conscieuce to break their eggs at the larger end in defiance of the eczlenea proclamation of the law that all eitizees of that land of little men 'should break them at the other end under penalty of severe pun.- lehmeht. The dictionary is the court of last resort in all disputes as to words, Of course, dictionaries do not always agree. But we find no lack of concord in this matter. Taking Webster's tambridged as the first authority to be quoted, we find the following defination-so far as applies in this ease: Sit. 7.
