However, the lad became, immediately on the - eih of King Edward, duke of Cornwall and the possessor of immense .winded estates that yield a very large revenue. By statute, the duke of Cornwall Is subject to no minority, so the boy could, if he wished, take his seat in the house of lords at once and cast his vote. The duke of Cornwall must be a son of the sovereign as well as heir apparent. Prince Edward, like his father, is having a thorough training in the navy. ENGLISH EGGTRAIN Effort to Educate Farmer to Value of Poultry Industry. Agricultural Organization Society, In Which Agricultural Co-Operation of England Is Focused Is Orig inator of Idea. London —A campaign quite novel to England has started with the first of the English demonstration egg trains. Its official name is the Soi^th Wales demonstration train. It bears aloft its title in big lettering and on either side are the names of the two societies which have organized the endeavor. The Agricultural Organiza tion society, in w hich the agriculturist co-operation of England is focused, is one. The National Poultry Organiza tion society, whence the idea ema nated. is the other. The train is a pioneer. Since the value of co-operation in the poultry in dustry was discovered requests for depots have come In thousands. In the last six years the society has striven to interest a rather lethargic public and less than thirty def»ote were started. It is now ex pected that 100 will be organized be fore the year is out and this hundred represents only a percentage of eligi ble localities. So egg trains can be expected pres ently to travel east and north as well as west. The train which trav erses the south of South Wales is rather like the hare in a paper chase It drops literature behind it wherever it goes anc a large pack, it is hoped, will pick up the trail and follow the lead. The train is first and foremost mis sionary. Britain, as well as Wales, is in outer darkness from the point of view of the scientific poulterer, and in his dialect requires above all things instruction in "candling “ The c^arSe is that Wales does not know a gtod fowl when It sees it. which is seldom. It is innocent of the arts of cramming and of trussing even such fowls as it produces. It has yet to discover the value of the breakfast egg. and is totally unaddicted to the necessary precaution of passing each egg in front of a bright light before handing it on to the consumer. Welshmen are unaware of the dis cover?. which was wei! known to Ro man poultry keepers 2.000 years ago. that Infertile eggs remain "breakfast * eggs" longer than the fertile. It 6hort the poultryman's art is in a bac way westward. The missionary train is modeled ex actly on its American prototype. Prai rie farmers, hungry for scientifii knowledge, flock even from great dis tances to the stopping places of thi agricultural demonstration trains which are sent out frequently by ; | scientific government working througi scientific institutions. They find ot assembling at the siding just what thi Welsh farmers In the shires of Car I earthen, Cardigan and Pembroki will find at intervals. Before their eyes, as the side o the demonstration van is let down are unfolded the engines of the Indus ! lry the finished works of art ! The onlookers can themselves pass | before the Informing flames on th< patent lamp eggs carefully selectee | to exhibit all the vices and virtues o: ; the egg. i The idea of the co-operative depot; which the demonstration train is tt i Popularize has already appealed I strongly to the Welsh small holders i Enthusiastic meetings have been held and addresses delivered and a mas; of correspondence has reached thf headquarters of the National Pou’trj Organization society. So the egg and poultry train is giving its first dem onstration in South Wales. The ex Penses are largely supplied by thf money allotted by the government tc the Agricultural Organization society which admirably directs English co operation from its center at Dacr« house, Westminster. The organizing assistance of thf Great Western railway, which ha; made several attempts to help smal holders, has smoothed the working ol the campaign. It is hoped that thf success of this dashing experimeni will stimulate repetitions in othei parts of the country. North Wales too. is in outer darkness, and centra; Yorkshire is suffering from markei difficulties. The American trains ol •his pattern have wrought wonders They have brought before the eyes and to the ears of remotest farmers the latest knowledge on the most ele mental subjects of agriculture. Thf South Wales demonstration train is tc go a step further. It is to teach tht value of a great movement, as well as to demonstrate to ere and ear th« advantage of scientific methods. Thf occasion is new tn the ancais of ag ricultural organization in England. iSNAKES CATCH RATS Merchants of Detroit Place Or ders for 300 of “BulP Variety. Unlike Any Other Member of Rep tile Family He Inspires Feeling of Affection—To Prove Bene ficial in Moral Way. Detroit. Mich.—A local naturalist has placed an order with a Texas firm for’300 bull snakes, which are to be used to exterminate the rats of De troit. When the snakes arrive they are i to be given out free to all applicants, with the understanding that the first to come will be the first served. The snake is a native of the en tire Pacific coast country as well as the Lone Star state, but the south ern specimen Is said to be the best ratter, hence the placing of the order there. “He will make good, never fear,” says the man who has boosted the ; qualifications of the bull snake. It does not take a matador to put the ’ bull snake through his little stunt, i He performs of his own volition and 1 with extreme avidity. All you have ! to do Is to welcome him into your home with average politeness. He j will do the rest. Unless some of the rats are sick-a-bed and indisposed to roam in quest of food he will have them all in a week. Then he can be loaned to your neighbor. "And right there is where the diffi culty of the whole plan comes in. You won't wish to loan him. The bull snake is unlike any other member of the snake family in that he Inspires a feeling of affection and companion ship between himself and the people he meets. In contradistinction to the loathing and repugnance with which other snakes are regarded. “Out in the west almost every ranch has its pet bull snake. You can spur the cayuses. cuff the cat and kick the dog. but don't step on “Bill' or you'll get the dislike of the rancher, for the big serpent is his one best pet. The prime purpose of having 'Bill' present is to keep away the rat tlers which he will kill on sight and which will run their fastest to get ' out of his way. but he soon gets to be one of the family and is treated as such. It Is no unusual occurrence to see an eight foot bull snake coiled I in a chair at a rancher's table, with his neck stretched over the edge and his head resting on a plate, while his master feeds him tit bits of meats and pastry. He is sure to be popular in Detroit.” Not only Is the advent of Bill sup posed to mark the extermination or exodus of the rat, but he is to prove beneficial in a moral way. When you see a bibulous person with disheveled hair quivering In an agony of fear and horror, don’t tell him that it is a real snake he sees on the walk. Let - him think that he has the "Jimmies.” Perhaps it will cure him of the habit Several of the big Detroit stores have put in a requisition for a dozen of the bull snakes. The rats are t. cause of great monetary loss to local merchants, not only to the grocery - and meat man, but to dry goods men as well. Some of the more fastidious - rodents will pass up the best new vegetables and even cheese to feed ' on silk and satins. His appetite is often illogical. C. Hart Merriam. chief of the Biolog , ical survey, of the United States de partment of agriculture, at Washing j ton. and other eminent scientists in j the service are enthusiastic over the - try out of the bull snake as a rat catcher in Detroit. Doctor Merriam | has written that he is quite familial with the talent and ability of the ser ; pent and that he is satisfied that the experiment will not be a disappoint ment. “My only suggestion is a lit tle advice to the ladies to guard their coiffures," he says. "With Bill, a rat is a rat. and hairpins won't stop him." GIRLS NEVER SLEPT ON LAND _ Home Has Always Been on Sailing Vessel, of Which Their Father Is Captain. Seattle.

But Would Be Ar rested in That State. Trenton, j—j. Ogden Armour, supposed head of the great beef trust, has millions, but he will not be al lowed to spend any of his money per sonally in New Jersey. Nor will it be safe for him to ride through this state on a railroad train. If he wants to go from Chicago to New York he will not be able to take a Pennsylvania train. J. Ogden Armour. bnt must content himself with the New York Central or some road that does not run through New Jersey. The pleasure of the boardwalk at Atlantic City will not be among those Mr. Armour may enjoy. It may be said in passing that these same re strictions apply to Lewis F. Swift and Edward Morris, millionaire packers. Should they step foot in New Jersey and Pierre F. Garven. prosecuting at torney of Hudson county, finds it out they will be arrested. They are safe as long as they remain outside the boundary lines of this state and Mr. Garven cannot get his hands upon them. It is because of the ruling of Gov ernor Fort. Through the efforts of Mr. Garven the Hudson county grand jury indicted the Chicago packers re cently. Mr. Garven applied to the governor for a requisition on Governor Deneen of Illinois to bring the mil lionaires to Jersey City for trial. Governor F'ort decided that Mr. Ar mour and his associates cannot be re garded as fugitives from justice and he refused to issue the requisition. He accompanied the refusal with a care fully prepared statement of the grounds for it The fact that Mr. Ar mour was not in New Jersey at the time charged in the indictment is re garded by the governor as a sufficient reason for refusing the request of the prosecutor. His decision will probably put an end to the criminal prosecution, in so far as most of the individual directors of the indicted corporations are con cerned. It is not claimed by the gov ernor that Mr. Armour and his asso ciates have not committed a crime which might be punishable if they were within the jurisdiction of the state. HONORED BY NEW SULTAN Boston Banker First American to Get Decoration From Mehmed V. of Turkey. Constantinople.—Sebastian B.

When Her Faith in the Lord Failed. During the progress of a big "pro tracted meeting." for which the south is famous, an ardent sister of the church, who usually came in an old fashicned buck hoard drawn by the family horse, was late for a particular ly important service and was being severely censured by the pastor. Explaining the reason for being late the good sister said that the horse had taken fright at a passing train and bolted and that the wreck of the rig had prevented her from being on time. “My dear sister, such little things should not make you late for divine services. Tou should trust in the Lord." “Well, brother." she replied, and there was a look of calm peacefulness on her face. "1 did trust in the Lord till the bellyband busted and then I had to jump.”—Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
