ICIND QUEEN.
Mere are many stories told of
the Queen of Italy's acts of kind-
ness to her poor subjects. The fol-
lowing, however, shows that even
the good intentions of queens are
not always fulfilled. Efer Majesty
recently noticed a pleasant -faced
little girl and spoke to her. There
was a ehort conversation, and the
Queen asked the child what she
could do in the way of needlework.
Queen of Italy.
"I can knit stockings, signora," re-
plied the girl. "De you know who
I am?" continued the Queen.
,"Yes, eignor.a,; you are the Queen."
"Well then, make me a pair of
stockings and send them to the pa-
lace," A few days afterwards the
articles arrived, and the Queen in
return for the gift sent the child a
beautiful pair of silk stockings, one
filled with sweets, the other con-
taining money, Next day the Queen
received a letter from her little
a,s follows : "Signora, your

father took the money, my big brce
ther took the sweets, and as for the
stockings, why, mother took them

TIIE 'VISION OF VULTIJItES.
-
A Soldier's Experiencee Aloog the
' Mexican Border.
Compared with our human eye-
sight, the vision of birds of prey is
marvellous. The bird etudent is
often aniseed at the immense dis-
tances at which hawks, eagles and
vultures ca.n distinguish objects.
It is a well -authenticated fact that
vultures do not find their food by
the sense of email. Many years ago
Ohar/es Darwin experimented with
the carrion binde Peouth America.,
and found that no long as the food
W.9.15 oonceitled from eight, no mat-
ter how putrid and illennelling it
was, the birds failed to detect it.
Other observers have. rea.ehecl the
sameoonclusion. A earrespendent
of The Youth's Companion writes:
I was _detailed for,.eervice with
some troops that were moving
along the Mexican border. " One
evening we earaped near a small -
stream on the western slope of the
hills east from San,Diego. During
Ole nightoene of Cie wagon mules
died. We took tbe body a abort dis-
tance from camp and partly con-
cealed it in a clump of willows,.
T,he next morning, after the 4301A131112
had resumed its :march, I rodeeto
the -summit of the 'highest hill, some
three miles from our camping
ground, and swept the . country
through a pair of powerful binocu-

The Pririoe of Wales is about to
make his debut as a, Ea.riller, • He is
to start a ,home farm in Cosnerall
for Ole breeding of shorthorns and

It ie a tradition that a British
monarch ehould be a, farmer, and
irt is natural that the Prince should
start in the Duehy of Cornwall, ,.
which provides him with some
2500,000 a year.
Early in the nineteenth century
Cornwall had tome fitenoue short-

breeding, due :to the ,geographical
isolative of Ole county, the general
etocks deteriorated. To remedy
thie the Prince's farm of 300 acres
at Whiteford "will breed So XIOW
stock for the benefit of breeding
throughout the duchy, as the Prince
will specialize in stock of the best
pedigree and thus afford the whole
duchy the advantages of sires and
