Many theories have been put for ward with regard to King Edward’s choice of name; that is, the dropping of the appellation "Albert.'’ It is, how ever, no secret that the king never lied the name of •'Albert,” and It was only in deference to his mother's wish that he signed himself "Albert Ed ward.” More than once he asked to be allowed to sign himself "Edward, but the queen was obdurate. The king knew that the name of "Albert'' would not be congenial to the British nation, and as soon as Queen Victoria had passed away he communicated to Lord Salisbury bis wish to be known as Edward VII.

S. E. Kiser. Journal of a Contented Woman. BY SARAH ROGERS. (Copyright, 1901, by Dolly Story Pub. Co.) November 1—1 have decided today to become contented, whatever my earth ly lot. I have been so discontented lately that any change will be wel come. And has not Shakespehre said: My crown is in my heart, not on my bead; Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to bo seen—my crown Is call'd con tent: A crown It is that seldom kings enjoy. So 1 am going to be contented and wear my unseen crown upon my heart, knowing that few kings enjoy a like privilege. Fate has made me the only relative ► well-groomed, ordinary business man. of a business brother. Now at tne very start in order to explain, if not justify my discontent, this is not in the least what I should have apportioned for myself. 1 am not even, determined that 1 should have selected a brother ns a solitary relative, but if 1 had, he should have been a distinguished, uni versity bred person, cultured to his finger-tips and president of Harvard, no less, and given to entertaining the greatest litterateurs of the day. What Destiny has chosen for me in the shape of Tom is a handsome, well-groomed, ordinary business man, devoted to the manufacture of silver-plated table ware. The Creighton knives and spoons and forks are the best In the market, as Tom is certainly the very dearest fellow in the world, even though I say 1 should not have selected him for a brother if I were ordering one. Nor would I have chosen Orton as a place of residence, preferring rather to reside at Cambridge with my presidential brother. Orton is a mass of factory chimneys which spell out the word commerce every day in the week except Sunday. I have never seen Cambridge, but 1 imagine it a cloistered, ivy-clad colony of ancient buildings faithfully guard ing ali the traditions of culture. And so here is the problem which Destiny has set me, and which I can solve only by putting my invisible erowm firmly on my heart. Orton has one salient advantage; be ing given over to commerce, it is com mercially situated; it is a seaport town. There is a distinct profit for a person who loves sunsets and moon-rises; for j a bit out of the town where the fac- j tories have not yet penetrated there is l a superb stretch between the salt i meadows and the sea. One can walk directly into the very heart of the sun set—the changing, mysterious heart of the sunset which has always had a strange fascination for me. What a wonderful picture l saw there the other evening as I took my solitary stroll along the ‘'loud-sounding” sea! It was extreme low- tide, and the sand flats lay in long, dark-brown reaches amidst tranquil pools of water which reflect-d , faithfully the thousand brilliant colors of the west. Far out at sea the waves were breaking in a white line against the dark, sharp lines of the sand. A wholesome tang of salt was In the air, which blew in freshly across the wide expanse of delicate sapphire-tinted sea. The sun had disappeared behind a bank or rose-colored cloud, and no | words of mine can express the glori 1 ous symphony of golds and purples and | scarlets and pale-green and radiant ! blues, which changed and deepened and brightened in the sky, aud threw itself deep down Into the peaceful beauty of the salt pools, among the long stretches of black sand. Such things must be seen to be appreciated, but no one can look upon such divine loveli ness without becoming a better man, I felt as if I had been In church and had heard the angels singing. When the last triumphant note of color bad died away in the deep sky and night was settling down tranquilly over the sea and the meadows. I turned back agRin toward Orton with a feeling tliat my crown was very firmly lodged upon iny heart, and that all Orton couldn’t shake it off. All Orton was probably too busy to try. The factory chimneys were all standing thick and tall and black against the opal aky exactly as I had last seen them when I turned my back upon them for the sunset and forgot them. Little golden tails of fire were flickering and darting from their mouths, and I felt a great and sudden compassion for the thousand toiling men and women who were there at work in those grim, gaunt buildings, so far away from the glories of the sun set. 1 felt all the sorrier because 1 knew if by some sudden caprice on the part of the boss a holiday might be theirs, they would not waste it in tame ly walking along the meadows by the sea at sunset, but would fly to the bar gain counter among the haunts of men. What would they do with my leisure, my well-to-doness, my certainty of an excellent dinner at the end of my long walk, my solitude, uiy books, my The “loud-sounding sea.” thoughts? Not one of my beloved Ideas j would they adopt, and as I looked at the thousand dancing little tongues of flame I seemed to see the toil and sor row and loss of all those who were less fortunate than I, but who would never know it. and the lust for gold seemed to write itself all over the sky in those flickering flames, and to cry down the glorious wonder of the great sun which had set. 1 felt of my crowm in order to make I quite certain that it was still In my | heart, and then I fell into line between i the rows of prosaic houses and went j prosaically home to dinner. It is so much easier to be prosaic when the sun has gone down and darkness is upon the land, so I was not so shocked as 1 might have been when Tom told me triumphantly that the sliver business was booming aw'fully, and that an or der for three thousand spoons had just come in from Chicago. Jap* Find a New Inland. According to the Japan Times a new’ j island has been discovered in the Sea j of Japan. From a statement appearing j in the Niclii Nichi it appears that the island is situated at a point between t'l-long-do Island, off Korea, and the J Oki Archipelago, off the coasts of tho ! San-in-do, the distance from either si :e being 30 miles. No maps ever pub- j lished contain any refernce to the isl-' and, which is reported to be about two j miles in length and about the same in breadth. It was about a year or two ago that the Island was first discovered by a fisherman of Kyushu, who found the waters in its neighborhood full of sea horses. New FiiKtnncI Fmnom for Tobacco. There are in the I'nited States 700, 000 acres of land devoted to tobacco, ol which 1,000 acres are in New England. The annual yield of all kinds in the country Is about 500,000.000 pounds, ol which New England raises 19,000,000. The average yield per acre throughout the country is 700 pounds, but In New England it is 1.700 pounds. It is inter esting that all the tobacco raised in the country belongs to two or three botanical species, yet there are more than sixty varieties grown commercial ly—all of them finite distinct in shape, color and qaulity of leaf.—Harper's Weekly.

According to a government publica tion, the cocoa bean from which choc olate is manufactured is produced in its finest form in tha republic of Ven ezuela, though various otlr-r parts of Central and South America grow and export large quantities. Two crops of the beau are gathered each year, and the manufacture consists simply in grinding up the b**ans into a meal and then adding sugar and arrowroot, with the necessary flavor—generally vanil la or cinnamon. The mass is then moistened until it is in a semi-fluid state, after which it is run into molds of the proper shape.

In a letter to his father at Spring field, Mass., Frank Dellinger, a soldier serving In the Philippines, bitterly de nounces the temperance people for having brought about the abolition of the canteen. Deprived of beer and whiskey, many soldiers accustomed bo drink have taken up the vlie Filipino drink, ’‘beno," as a substitute. It not only physically wrecks those who drink it, but in many instances makes them permanently insane. Dellinger cites cases where soldiers have gone crazy from indulging in "beno."
