Bobby's eyes were bright as he weut bomjeward, and Maggie met him at the door with a face as happy as his own. "Oh, Bobby," she cried eagerly, "I show- ed Mrs. O'Brien my flower this after- noon, and she said if I kept it in water maybe it would grow roots, because it's got sucb n long stem aud so many leaves to it."

Sure enough, after a few days of care- ful watching and tending, tiny white roots appenred. Then Maggie filled an old can with earth, and the little silp was gently placed in it. It grew and flourished, and with it the friendship be- tween Bobby, the flower lady-as he call- ed her-and the young mon in the hrown ulster increased.

ROYAL PERSONAGES.

The queen bas a magnificent collec. tion of the photographs of celebrated sctors.

Siam's crown prince has matriculat- ed at Oxford, and has gone into resi- dence us a member of Christ church. The queen's will is engrossed on vellum, quarto size, and is bound as a volume, and secured by a private lock. King Oscar, of Sweden, is a musical monarch, who may often be henrd for bonrs improvising on the piano, and more particularly on the organ-an in- strument which is almost unknown in private circles abroad. His majes- ty is also a great lover of glee singing. It is contrary to etiqnette for the czar or czarina of Rnasia or any of the grand dukes and duchess to pay a visit to anyone who is not of royal birth, and in consequence no visits are paid them by those who are not mem. bers of the nobility, and should the rulers wish to see them the invitation comes In the form of a command.

The duke of Cambridge. cousin of Queen Victoria, has received more army pensions than any other mem- ber of the English royalty. In 1950, on the death of his father, the conn- try voted him an annuity of $60.000 a year. At 1% years of age be became a cotonel, at 26 a major general, in 1854 a lieutenant general, two veare later a general on full pay, and in 1562 a field marshal at $22,500 a year. He occupies his residence rent and tax free-the equivalent of $12,500 per an- num.

IN VARIOUS PLACES.

Leather money was in circulation in Russia as recently aa the time of Peter the Great.

The water of Modder river has heet analyzed and pronounced to be of ex- cellent quality.

Among Japanese a daily hot bath is the rule. When people are too poor to have a bath in their own houses they patronize the public batha.

The highest Prussian court has de- cided that the American "itle of "doc- tor" cannot be used in Prussia with- out a special permit from the govern- meut.

Plum aud apple selling hy hawkers was illegal in the sixteenth century in England. The reason was that serv. ants and apprentices were nnable to resist the sight of the fruit. and con- sequently were tempted to steal their employers' money in order to gratify their longing for these dainties.

Fishermen in Ilolland kill all fish as soon as they are landed, while French fishermen, on the contrary. allow theui to die of asphyxiation. It is urged that the Dutch cuetom is the right one, not merely because it Is the more humane. but because fish that are prompily ki led are in better con- dltion for the table.
