city school children will no longer be
alowed to give presents to their

Why the King Dropped Albert.
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.

That I am weak, that I am still

In woe I turn to Him again,

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

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.

Onteome of Anti-Canteen Folly.
In a letter to his father at Spring

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."
