Why the King Droppad Albert. Many theories have been nut for ward with regard to King Edward's tnuice or name; that is, the dropping of the appellation "Albert." It Is, how ever, no secret that the king never j lied the name of "Albert," and It was -. nly In deference to his mother's wisn that he signed himself "Albert Ed ward." More than once he asked to he allowed to sign himself "Edward," hut the queen was obdurate. The kins kufcw that the name of "Albert" wouiu not be congenial to the British nation, and as soon as Queen Victoria had passed away ho communicated to Lord Salisbury hla wish to be known aa Eav.-ard VII. Onljr Una I'otwolloper. Tbo parliamentary register for 3836 showed tbRt there was then only one potwalloper In all England. One see ing the term for the first time might easily imagine that a potwalloper was a KpedoB of ichthyosaurus or some other reptile of a past age. It will bo discovered upon Inquiry, however, that the term "potwalloper" is liter ally one who boils a pot, and waa applied to voters in certain boroughs of Knglnnd, where before the pansazn of the reform bill of 1832 the quallflca. tion for suffrance was to have boiled (walloped) hiH own pot In the' parlbh for six months.

If we don't lay and eat, we will eon be alaln aaa devoured. Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod, And wails to see it push away the clod, He trusts in God. Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky, "Be patient, heart, light brcaketh by and by," He trusts in God. Whoever sees 'neath winter's field of snow The silent harvest of the future grow, God's power must know. Whoever lies clown on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. Whoever says "to-morrow," "the unknown," The "future" trusts unto that power alone He dares disown. The heart that looks on when the eyelids close, And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. AY ft XV Wanted An Attic. BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ. (Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) "And, as you said the description of life In a suburb of working people was the only weak thing in the book, I am going to spend three months in a cottage attic and get the atmosphere, Mr. Morris." The lawyer looked up from his desk and back again before he spoke. What be glanced at was a pale man of 28 or 29, who looked older. His face waa sensitive and was rather too sweet for a positive manliness. When the lawyer finally spoka it was to say: "It will not hurt you or the book. Have you given up your trip across and to Vienna?" Van Vlict looked uncomfortable. "Can't do both, can you?" "No and really the book comes first If it is all right but that, why not put myself in the way of making that right." Mr. Morris thrust his hands Into his pockets and walked up and down the room. "Look here, Van, I am pretty certain the Astranhams count on your going over. It is actually a question between Gwendolen and the book because Mr. Astranham Intimated to me that De brett King wanted to Join the party and we all know what Deb Is after." A rather peculiar look came about Cecil Van Vllet's mouth. "So It Is the book or the girl con tinued the lawyer. A dreamy smile flitted over (he face of his hearer. "And which one Is It, Van?" Then came a quick movement from the silent man and then a decisive ut terance. "The book then I like the girl, bet ter than I wish I did. But maybe the book can win the girl but the book first at all hazards." a a a a In the sloping roof of a small white cottage there was set a deep dormer window that looked over fields of em erald wheat and on the brown clods The German Woman Sowed Seed, that, later, would be covered with waving corn. On a gentle slope to the left there were orchards where pink and 'white waves of bloom stood out against a sky of the palest blue. On the hill was an old brown house and here went on the panorama of pastoral life as before the city crept out. It was a rtmnant of the paat century. Here the dawn amoke roee, the mn went H"rj-4- 4 4 4, 4 41 4! 4 4 forth to plow, the noon bell rang for dinner, the night lights glowed through the small window panes, the dog barked at the night passer. Below and around this remnant farm, there were small houses, some of them mere shanties and cabins of boards and de brls. It was the vanguard of civiliza tion, the first roll of the wave that meant the growth of a city. In the attic of the white cottage Ce cil Van Vllet had taken up his abode. He Sat Under the Tree. He left bis old life behind biro, as though it was a thousand miles away. Ho wore what the college boys had once dubbed "hand-me-downs" and a cheap suit of that clothing. His per sonal belongings were all in a small and cheap trunk. The room he oc cupied was like a dry goods' box, walls, floor and door of unpalnted pine. A strip or two of rag carpeting partially covered the floor. There was a cheap Iron bed, a cheaper table and washstand covered with white oil cloth. He was expected to "wait on himself" which meant to fill his water pitcher from the cistern and make his own bed except on Saturday when the housekeeper from below took posses sion and cleaned things up. From the window at which he wrote on a small table with wobbling legs the panorama of life unfolded to Ce cil Van Vllet's wondering eyes. He saw the dally routine of life among the great struggling masses, he saw suffer ing, merriment, misery, death and the happiness of the youthful and careless. In the small yard below the German woman spaded and sowed seed and set out plants and vlncB. He often went down to help her and was rewarded by hot bread and coffee. He took long long walks and lunched or dined at wayside places. Sometimes he rode on hay wagons passing in and out and sometimes he walked miles under the starlit heavens, almost feeling his way 1 . the dark and yet with a conscious ness that never before had he been awake. In a month the old life had fallen from him. The charm of simplicity waa with him day and night. This return to primordial things had awak ened the truest life In hlra and while he grew more robust and the color came Into his face, he drank In real life bs a thirsty muti takea long draughts of water. In behind the alope but quite out of sight of the white cottage lay the school house, a frame structure sur mounted by a bell which calls the children together. It was a favorite walk of Cecil's, for he liked to see the fluttering colored aprons and gowns of the children over the green sward and the trim form of the Little Teacher. She had amooth brown hair and blue eyes, cheeks red as roses and she wore print gowns such as Cecil Van Vliet bad never seen before. When she sang with the chil dren it was In such a sweet and hap py voice that It thrilled the heart like a wild bird's song. That waa the rea son be liked to stay where he could bear It and he so often sat on the bench under the beech trees that the teacher, as well as the children, came to know him. To them, as to his cottage housewife, he was a medical student, living cheap over the summer. Even that made the people somewhat In awe of him. The Little Teacher lived in the brown farm house that had survived the tidal wave of progress. After a time Cecil walked home with her and sat with her under the low brown porch. The martins built in boxes nailed there for them. Roses that seemed to hold the perfume as well as all the wealth of color In the air and sunshine nodded from bushes that were routed deep and strong. The old life was a dream, but Cecil lived in a dream. All that he had written of a sup positious suburban life had lone since been burned. What he wrote to re place it was alive and human it was what he saw, what he felt, what was and is. The Little Teacher's simple existence, the joy, the sorrow of every day was painted with the zest and in terest and charm of novelty. There came a day when he closed the last chapter and, his heart beating with enthusiasm, tied up the package and sent it into the great city from which he had been over four months an alien. It was the end of summer. The orchards were fruit-laden, the red rose hips scarlet on the bushes. The wheat fields had been shorn and were becoming green again. The year's work was being completed al80. It was har vest time. It would be two weeks before he could expect to hear from Mr. Morris. How should he employ this time? The old ways, the sweet ways with rest and peace. Then the armor must be girded en for the work of the world. But fust, first, he must go to see the Little Teacher. "I cannot take my eyes from you," declared Lawyer Morris, "you are an other man in every way. And the book. Shake hands you have made me shed 'he first tears I ever shed over a novel." , Van Vliet's eyes shone. "You are sure?" "Sure! Yes, I am! I don't nind tell ing you that I h?rs let a publisher have a peep at it.j it's anything, the 1 of the year., Well, I'mViadl, I'm : ovel elad! I've some 'tews for you ) also Uwvndolrvjfuged Deb King jpoint olaAk" xhe Astranhams are onj the way me. Now are you happy?" V "Wethat don't make me any Hap pier bege because O, hang.it all, Morris, i want to injrpW- you to sorue one !.& . ythV for me! Don t go away." V He was back In five minutes, nerv ous and radiant. With him was the neatest of gray-clad small females, red-cheeked, blue-eyed and blushing like a shy child. "I'm very glad about the book," reit erated Cecil, "but it Isn't the book or the girl this time. It Is the girl first and then the book and both are suc cesses, I'm sure you will say, Mr. Mor rls." For Btnlna oa Marble. In the treatment of stains much de pends on what has caused tbem. Mar ble is one of tho most difficult sub stances to deal with whei removing stains. Even the weakest acid will attack the marble, and should not be employed except in the hands of an expert, sayB the Ladles' Home Journal. The following treatment wiil remove many kinds of stain from marble: Dis solve half a pint sal soda in one pint of boiling water; stir into this half a pint of quicklime and enough whiting or fuller's earth to make a paste like thick cream. Spread this on the mar ble and let it remain two days or long er. Scrape off and wash clean. If all the spots are not removed this treat ment may be repeated until the mar ble Is quite clean. Thirty-Bcvan Cbllilran. Salzburg, Austria, now puts in a claim for the record birth rate of a single family. Johann Sterner, a farm er, married his wife, Martha, nlnetet years ago, when he was 52 and she was 25. In the nineteen years since they have had thirty-seven children trip lets three times and twins twelve times, while the babies have come along singly four times. Of the chil dren thirty-four are living, and they are all healthy and normal. The thirty-seventh child was born a couple of eeks ago, on the day on which the father celebrated as his 72d birth day. The mother Is still In robust health. Who knows of a record to beat this?
