BRITAIN'S NEW KING.

'Biographical SKetch A of Edtoard VII.

The death of Queen Victoria and the ascension to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland of the Prince of Wales brings another striking personality into the ranks of the world’s sovereigns. A glance at his life’s biography will therefore be of interest, especially since he has taken the title

G.. eldest son of Victoria and the Prince Consort, born at Buckingham Palace Nov. 9, 1841, received his early education under the Rev. Henry M. Birch, rector of Prestwich; Mr. Gibbs, barrister at law; the Rev. C. F. Tarver and Mr. H. W. Fisher, and having studied for'a session at Edinburgh, entered Christ Church, Oxford, where he attended the public lectures for a year and afterwards resided for three four terms at Cambridge for the same purpose. His Visit to erica. .■ His royal highness spent most of the summer of 1860 in a visit to the United States and Canada, where he was most enthusiastically received, was in 1858 gazetted to a colonelcy in the army, and joined the camp at the Curragh in June. 1861. Accompanied by Dean Stanley, the prince traveled in the East and visited Jerusalem in 1862. His royal highness is a"K. G.. a field marshal and a colonel in chief of the Household Cavalry Brigade, colonel of the Tenth Hussars,, and has t»e titles of the Duke of Cornwall (by which he took his seat in the House of Lords in February, 1863, in the peerage of England!; Duke of Rothesay. Baron of Renfrew and Lord of the Isles in Scotland, and Earl of Dublin and Garrick in Ireland, and enjoys the patronage of twenty-one livings, chiefly as owner of the Duchy of Cornwall. His Marriage to Alexandra. His royal highness married March 10, 1863, the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, by whom he has issue. The Prince of Wales became president of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in April, 1867. Towards the close of the year 1871 his royal highness was attacked with typhoid fever, and for some weeks his life was despaired of, but he slowly recovered and was able to take part in the Thanksgivfng service in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Feb. 27, 1872. He was elected Grand Master of the Free Masons in England in succession to the Marquis of Rlpon in 1874, and on April 8. 1875, was admitted to the office at a lodge held in the Albert Hall, South Kensington. On May 5, 1875, he was installed at the Free Mason’s hall as First Principal of the Royal Arch Free Masons. Visited India in 1875-7. In 1875-76 his royal highness visited India. The great interest he took in the Paris exhibition of 1878 contributed in no slight degree to render it a success. He attended the court festivi-

the Princess, made a tour through Ireland. In 1889, with the Princess and their sons, he visited the Paris exhibition. and in October of the same year he was present at the wedding of the Duke of Sparta at Athens.

many victories. He was present in April, 1894, at the wedding of Princess Victoria Melita of Coburg, and with the Princess of Wales attended the marriage of the late czar's daughter at St. Petersburg. In July, 1894, as in the Jubilee year, the Prince and Princess were present at the Welsh Eisteddfodd, on which occasion the Princess was admitted a Bard. Interest in Exhibitions. His royal highness has taken a great personal interest in all the exhibitions recently held at South Kensington, and was executive president of the Colonial and Indian exhibition opened by the queen in May, 1896. He also originated the Royal College of Music, and was the chief mover in the Jubilee scheme

some opposition, he at last succeeded in establishing in 1893. In 1888 the Prince and Princess celebrated their silver wedding. Visiting the “Russian Court. During the autumn of 1894 the Prince and Princess and the Duke of York hastened "to join the Russian imperial family at the time of the death of the late Czar, and the Prince, by the courteous attention to Russian etiquette and constant attendance at the prolonged funeral ceremonies, won the affections of the Russians to a marked degree. His Visit to the Vmted States. The people of this country were too thoroughly engrossed in a presidential campaign to pay much attention to the Prince of Wales when he came here in 1860. He was sent over by Lord Palmerston, the British premier, on a secret mission, the real purpose of which had never been divulged. No official recognition was taken of his presence but many receptions were given in his honor by society in Detroit, Chicago. St. Louis, Cincinnati, Boston and Richmond and at Washington where he was introduced by Lord Lyons to President Buchanan and' Miss Harriet Lane, and was elegantly, but privately entertained at the white house. Washington was a village “of magnificent distances” then, and the president showed the royal party over the public buildings without being incommoded by the crowds that had half frightened, half flattered them since their arrival in America. His visit in this country lasted from September 17 to October 20.

‘Danced tvith “Daughters of the Fishermen. While attending a reception in his honor at St. Johns, Newfoundland, in 1860, the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII. of England, soon left the official circle and danced with the wives and daughters of the fishermen. The Lanciers was a new dance then, and the prince not only explained the figures to his partner but called out to the other dancers: “Now, you follow me,” “Now, forward, march.” Of course, he won all hearts. The next day he was taken through the factories in which cod liver oil is made. There is a custom that a visitor to the factories must have his boots greased by the employes and “pay his footing” in drink money, and the prince cheerfully submitted to these exactions, and laughed heartily when the dignified duke of Newcastle, the polished General Bruce and the gallant Major Teesdale were compelled to gc through the same forMalities.

There has been much discussion in England lately among the parochial fathers of Rothephithe as "to the disposal of an ancient tobacco-box, which was discovered a few years ago in an iron safe, and had been given a place

RING EDWARD VTI. AND QUEEN CONSORT.

If no man is a hero to his valet it cannot be said that Sir Redvers Buller was not a hero to his orderly. Corporal George Ashley rode behind his chief from the time he arrived at “the front" and returned with him to England. Corporal Ashley, who belonged to the military mounted police of Natal, entertains unbounded admiration for Sir Redvers. He cites as an instance of the general’s coolness under fire that, when a shell passed only a few feet away, he turned to his orderly and, with a grim smile, quietly said: “Did you get that?" It is a great thing in a commander’s favor when one and all who have followed him feel so stwag an attachment for him.

of honour in the Vestry Hall. It has now been decided to transfer the to-bacco-box to the public library, where It wii* be under the care of the librarian. This interesting Rotherhithe relic is octagonal in shape, and stands about twelve inches high. It is a box within a box, the outer shell being intended to hold tobacco, whilst in the interior were placed the balloting balls used at the election of “The Amicable Society of Churchwardens and Overseers" a century ago. The box is beautifully engraved, and contains a panel with a silver medallion portrait of George 111., and is inscribed in commemofation of the Grand National Jubilee, celebrated on October 23, 1809. There is a panel recording Nelson’s triumph at Trafalgar, and another in commemoration of the victory obtained over the French army at Waterloo.

Coolness Under Fire.

Disorderly Conduct in Scotland.

The Scottish judicial statistics for the year are not altogether pleasant reading. Serious crime has been decreasing in Scotland for some time. The period 1895-9 shows a decrease of 26% per cent as compared with 1870-4. That is satisfactory, but while the serious crime is diminishing, the “huge volume of drunkenness and disorder,” to quote from the report, “which marks Scottish statistics so unfavorably as^com pared with those of other countries” seems to be steadily increasing. The number of persons charged with drunkenness and disorder rose last year to 112,033, which is a record figure. Drunkenness and disorder, indeed, account for more than 60 per cent of the whole of the police offenses in Scotland. , Those are eminently offenses of the larger towns, though at the same time some of the smaller burghs in this respect apparently try to compete with their larger neighbors? In counties the general average is 83.7 per 10,000; in burghs with a population of 50,000 and over it is 439.5; and the average decreases in the various classes till in the case of burghs with a population of under 2,500 it is 250.3 per 10,000.—Chicago News.

A NURSE’S STORY.

A Graduate of Laknids Hospital, lak( Geneva, Tells an Interesting Experience. Peshtigo, Wis., Jan. 26, 1901. —(Special.) —One of the most popular nurses that ever graduated from the Lakeside Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is the Vice Templar of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and organist of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her twelve years’ experience as a trained nurse she has had many opportunities for observation, and her opinion in all medical health matters is held in very high esteem by the thousands who have learned to know and love her. In speaking of her experience she says: “During my twelve years as a trained nurse I have often observed how many different physicians give their patients Dodd’s kidney Pills in cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble. About three years ago I myself suffered some months with a weakness and continual congested condition, and I decided to try what the Pills would do for me. r soon found that they built up the affected parts and Testored harmony to the entire system, and although I often lose much sleep and rest while attending severe cases, I find that I was never in finer health nor had more endurance than since I have used these marvelous Pills.” Clergymen say they are good, Senators and Congressmen have added their evidence as to the wonderful curative properties of this Medicine, hundreds of physicians recommend them and use them in their daily practice. The most skilled trained nurses advise their use and use them themselves, while tens of thousands of sick and suffering people are being cured every day by Dodd's Kidney Pills. They should cure you. They will cure you. them.

Zweibach for Children.

In families where children are given to the munching habit, better than sweet or cheap crackers or cake will be found zweibach, or twice baked bread. On account of this thorough baking it is easy to digest. Meats used at the children’s table should preferably be boiled or roasted. Boiled meat, unless very carefully prepared, is apt to lose its nutriment, and the part left, through overcooking, is not easy to assimilate. Soft boiled eggs are the only kind that should be served to young children. They should not be cooked at a high temperature, as the sudden violent heat toughens the whites.

•tacUttft When a cow fails to concalra It may be that she is too fat from the feeding of com and lack of exercise, but we also find that where a cow is ran down in condition she may net breed until she is kept up and got Into good condition, not by the feeding of corn, but by a free use of a nitrogenous ration. The very fat cow should be turned 4 out of doors and put upon a snare diet until she comes m heat, when she will' be likely to conceive when bred. It sometimes helps matters to give her a full dose of epsom salts before turning her out, and some go to the extreme of giving onedrachm doses of iodide of potash two or three times daily, but this is unnecessary unless there is disease of the womb or of the ovaries. In chronic cases of sterility among cows it is usually found that the womb or its mouth are diseased or there is a catarrhal discharge whlcn must be removed before the animal will breed, and it is a somewhat simple matter to treat these cases. The owner should provide himself with a fountain syringe or with a tin can holding one gallon and to which has been soldered a tin pipe, to which may be attached a long rubber hoee. The can is to be filled with a warm 1-1000 solution of chloride of zinc; the free end of the hose is then inserted into the vagina and the solution allowed to run freely into that organ so as to wash it out thoroughly. This should be done twice daily for a few days, then three times a week, and soon all discharge will cease, and the animal will be likely to breed successfully. This should always be |one with every cow just after calving, when it is possible to also cleanse out the womb before it closes, and if this were made a practice upon every stock farm there would be much less trouble from sterility and abortion than is now the case. Where abortion has been prevalent the genitals of all pregnant cows should be washed once daily with the solution mentioned above, and no cow should be bred when there is discharge from the vagina. The same solution will be found equally effective for the washing of the sheath of the bull, and this should also be attended to where abortion has been troublesome. We also find that in many cows that fall to breed the mouth of the womb has become closed by an incrustation which it is difficult to remove by the injections mentioned, and where this is found to be the case the os uteri should be carefully opened by working the fingers inwards in shape of a cone, after which it is possible to introduce a dilator, which, if allowed to remain, will render the new condition permanent and at the same time allow a discharge to come away from the womb, which is a common result of this operation, so that the womb may then be washed out with beneficial results. In other cases there is an acid discharge from the womb and vagina during heat which has the power of rendering the act of breeding ineffective and it has been found that this may be corrected by the injection of an alkaline solution, just before breeding. A solution of one tablespoonful of bicarbonate of soda in a quart of water Will be found effective and it should be injected into the vagina of all shy animals half an hour before copulation. The solution should be milk-warm when injected. The animal after service should be placed in a perfectly quiet box stall away from the sight and sound of other cattle and should remain there until all excitement has subsided.

Australian Batter Supply Limited. Information to hand by cable is to the effect that the price of Australian butter is firming in consequence of it having become apparent that the supplies of the present season will not be so large as was anticipated, says the Australasian, of Australia. Before the season opened the prospects were such that dairymen, exporters, and the government expert, Mr. Crowe, were led to believe that the exportable surplus for 1900 would amount to fully 6,000 tons more than was sent away last year. The prolonged winter in the principal grazing districts of Gippsland, whence a large bulk of the Victorian supplies come, has diminished the output there considerably. The season has not been so severe in the northern and other milder districts, and the supplies from those parts will be heavier than before. It is, however, the opinion of a gentleman connected with the trade that the falling-off from Gippsland for the season will be sufficiently great to more than counterbalance any increase from the north, northeast, and west. He anticipates that the price for the rest of the season will keep moderately firm, and he bases this opinion upon the fact above-mentioned. Last year the season opened well in the matter of price, and fell gradually; this season it was inclined to be low at the outset'. In consequence of the idea prevailing in London that the export would be very large. The fact that it will probably not reach that of last year must therefore have the hardening tendency our informant expects. Indians m Farm Laborers. There are now in this valley something like two hundred Indians who are working in the sugar beet fields. They receive six dollars per acre for pulling and topping. Every day from ten to twenty of them can be seen on our streets ambling along from me store to another where they soon exchange their cash for merchants wares. The Indians are a much more desirable class of field labor than the Chinamen because they spend nearly all their earnings here. They wttl wind up the season's work with a grand war danoe for which they are now preparing by providing themselves with the brightest of blankets and gaudy trinkets Oregon Observer.
