Always of a combative disposition and a natural fighter, un- der the instruction of ,Tank Dempsey, he soon developed into one of the greatest little fighters of his time. He first came luto prominence on the western coast when he met and defeated Billy Armstrong, the Mon- treal instructor, for the lightweight of the Pacific Coast, before the Oct dental Club in San Francisco, in 1892.• Armstrong remembers the boy well. When asked about him, Billy said: "Oh, yes, I remember 'Mysterious Billy Smith. He was on the coast when I was there in the nineties. There was another Billy Smith there at the time, known as Australian Billy. and It was to differentiate him from the latter that the nickname 'Mysterious' was appled to the St. John boy, but not altogether for this reason. It was in part applies; because of the sudden, nese of his rise to prominence. When he first broke into the game he was a fresh -faced youngster of not more than nineteen or twenty years of age. His first victories were won against Frank Purcell and Spider Kelly. Then he defeated me in the fourteenth round"of• a battle for the Pacific Coast title. After this he went to Portland, where he defeated Shadow Matter, and then returned 'FlYsco where he married a M.1s,S Merchant. "Smith was getting over the -light- weight limit then, but was equally suc- cessful in the welter class, His fleet victory in this division was against Danny Needham on the coast. After disposing of everything In his class in the west he came east, where his lights with Tommy Ryan and Joe Wal- cott are still remembered as the most terrific of the period, his 25 -round draw in '98 being a particularly good example of the various battles these men fought whenever they came to- gether. After fighting for a few years in the east he returned to the coast, nominally the welterweight champion of the world. He settled in Portlaud, and the Last l heard or hint he was keeping a hotel in that city."

The most common mistake of poul- try fanciers lies in the selection of breed. A few rough, barndoor mon- grels are purchased, and expected to thrive and to pay'their way with little or no attention. Variety counts for much in the poultry run, and the An- cones are about the best class one car, obtain for this purpose. They are active, hardy birds, splendid fora- gers, excellent winter .layers, and, though small, plump, useful table specimens. Plymouth_. Rocks, which are black - and -white, come next in choice among suitable breeds; they, too, are hardy, and good layers. Black Spanish, with plumage of the metallic sheen, are ex- cellent; and so are their cousins, the Black Minorcas. White birds of alt varieties are out of place in the su- burbs. Strictly speaking, the housing plays a most important part In the question of egg production. The roosting - place should be as lofty as possible within reason, and, whilst it must on no account be draughty, it must be well ventilated. The best system Is to allow fresh air to enteithrough an aperture near the ground, and to escape through a vent under the eaves of the roof; this ensures the free cir- culation of air. The perches should be about twenty-two inches from the ground, and two inches square, and should be set so that they. are perfectly hori• zontal-viz., not higher at one end than the other -otherwise the birds will crowd together at the higher end. Neat -boxes should be placed well away from the perches, and the nests sbodd be tirade from clean hay, and not, straw., As for the flooring, it inay be 01 natural earth or of concrete; a wood- en floor is unsanitary, and should be avoided. The run should naturally be as ex- tensive as convenient, and it will save ranch bother if the top can also be roofed in with wire -netting; a small portion -say, six feet -should be covered 'with weather boards, so that it may be thoroughly dry during the fainter. In this space the household ashes should be sifted, for there is nothing like a dust path to keep feathered stock in good condition. A fregrent cause of, failure is over - [ceding. "Killed by kindness" should be the epitaph to many' back -yard' fowls." A. hen that is over -fat call never lay normally. SIGHT RESTORED.

It was owing to such despotism and abuse .of the Royal power that the nation forced the famous Magna ;Chaeta from the wily King John at Runnymede is the year ,1215; and ' slater came the famous Bill of Rights of ,168% - which enacted, amongst !other things, that the suspending of, and dispensing with, laws by regal authority without the consent of. Pan - 'lament was illegal. Legally speaking, the King, as a Ring, can never be considered as a minor or under age, and when refer- ring to the Icing in this respect it 1s meant the'political King, and not the ICing as au individual. Power that Never Dies The King never dies -that is to Is, en say`, the power never dies, but f , the Ring's demise, immediately trans- ferred to the next heir. The King can do no wrong; to the extent that no crime or other misconduct must ever be Imputed against the Sovereign per sonally, and so whatever course of action he pursues he escapee punish- ment of any sort. No, action can be brought against the Sovereign, even r thesimple but � rets o in civil matters, fp has that he 'e v reason t very effective e supremacy over all the Courts of Jus- tice, us tice, and therefore" his jurisdiction is of the very highest. Quito true, has acts may be tom teary to law and invalid, but even then, shell is the respect that Is shown to hila that these acts will not be treated as wrongs, but inertly that the King "was deceived" in the mat- ter. 11 is within the province of any ' member of either 1lonae of Parlia• 1 melt to mention therein matters con• i eeruing the King, and about which the member feels aggrieved, but it is I clone with marked delicacy and re epee', More. than one member has been sent to the Tower for mention• ing matters concerning the Ring In a manner not considered courteous or respectful, The law holds that the Ring is not responsible for any negii• 0t'nc•e. The Ring is the Chief Magistrate of the nation. He has the sole power of sending Ambassadors to foreign states, and of receiving Ambassadors at home, and it is within his preroga• tive to matte treaties and alliances with foreign Powers, but if these affect the. private rights of the sub- jects, Parliament must give its. con, sent thereto. The Fountain of Justice He can make peace and war, and can grant passports to any individual to come into this country or to enter into any of its possessions. He can. reject Shy Lill in Parliament if he think such Bill improper, though it must. he Meted here that the Crown's prerogative in thie respect has become obsolete, and, as a matter of fact, has not been exercised for over two ban dred years. The King is first 1n mil'- tary command, and he has sole powef of raising armies and fleets. Perhaps one of the most important prerogatives of the King, so far al tine liberty of the subject is concerned, is that of keeping the subject within the kingdgom or recalling hint when absent.

WHY HIS TITLE iS DUKE. NOT PRINCE Some misconception appears to pre. veil In abate:' nsrters as to why the Goveruottuenera) is called Duke of Connaught when. as a Dan. of Queen Victoria, he was born a Prince of the Blood Royal. The explanation is as, follows: All the Sovereign's children, and .ell their cltlldren (unless they themselves marry below Royal rank) are, of coarse,. born Princes and Princesses. But the title of Prince or Princess 10 merely what is known as a courtesy title and 'carries with it no principality' em kingdom -except, indeed, in the case of the Prince of Wales. Accordingly it haw always been the cestota of the Sovereigns of England to oonfer on, their sons the title of D lte-=-which is the highest in the Peerage -in order to give them the right to sit end. vote In Paella. mein, althosgit, sus a matter of fact, this is a rrlght which they now seldom exerelec. Three of Queen Victoria's sons drew their titles from the four countries of the' United Kingdom. The eldest, who "WAR Prince 'of Wales, also bore the EOngiish title of Duke of, Cornwall. Tho second was created Duke of Iidlnburgio, in compliment t.t Scotland. And tee third (our Gov- ernor-General); was made Duke - of Connaught, as a mark of licher to Ireland, for which same reason he was also christened, among o. her names, Patric!-:.
