I see that the news associations have been authorized by the Prince of Wales to deny that the Dnke of York was mar ried previous to his union with Princess May of Teck. Tho Prince of Wales was qnite right to make the denial; the Viorning newspapers were quito right to publish it . Permit mo to quote tbe prince's stajtemcnt, which was issued by his private secretary, Colonel Sir Fran cis Knollys. Then I wish to add a rider: London, Aug. 15. A letter signed by Sir Francis Knoll ys, K. C. M. G one of the grooms In walling upop tho Prince of Wales, Is pub. 1 shod today, saying that the Prlnco of Wales directs him to say that there is not a ehadow nf foundation for the report that the Duke of York was married previous to his union with Princess May of Teck. The letter odds that tho lepoit of a previous marriago was obviously livented to cause pain and annoyance to tho loung couple. There is moro than a "shadow of proof" for tho duke's marriage there is tho record ia tlto English church in Malta. The inarringo took place four years ago, when Prince Gecrge was with tho Mediterranean squadron. At that timo his eider brothor was living and .was heir to tho throne. There woutd pevcr have boon a question of tho legal ity of tho niKrriago had not Collars nnd Cuffs" died. His death mado tho Duko of York Prince George, as ho was then heir to the dignities of his grand mother. His marriage to a commoner was out of the question. Now, mark the odd course of events. Tho Duko of Clarence "Collars and CcCs" had been betrothed for niio months to the Priucefs May of Teck. When ho died suddenly, his brother. Prince George, was ordered to keep tho engagement. Ia spite of all his resistance I19 was mar ried to his brother's fiancee. His own wife his morganatic wife, if yoapksaso -forced her way into tho church oatho wedding day and created a scandal which was only half suppressed, tho was his tf ifo, the mother of his two children. Had he not been forced by circumstances into tho direct succession to tho throne there would havo been ro question of the legality of that marriage ceremony performed by . tho English chaplain at Malta. Cut tho woman was repudiated. Ebe was a Miss Tryon and the niero of onp of England's famous sailara a man nnder whom tho "sailor prince," this charming Duko of York, bad learn ed his seamanship. When Admiral Try on learned ot tho shame cast upon h!s name, he was half mad. The drink he took did not mollify him. Tkoouo thing bo could do was to kill himself, nnd ha committed suicido by sinking the finest man-of-war in the English navy. He drowned hundreds of men, sank a mil lion pound irouclad and went down laughing drunk on tho bridge. The Prince of Wales denies? Kot even tho Prince of Welea can bnrv that scandal. Tho Duko of York's morganatio wife bas been pensioned. She is living at Richmond with her two children. Ia tho latter part of June sho obeyed crfers and mcrried a poor gentleman -whom the Prince of Wales provided. Now that everything ha been "covered" in these days wbca Uie Lroko of 1 ark is rejoicing over a son and heir to tlia throne tho cry ia raised that the "ecil or prince" has been slandered.

A curious phenomenon occurred in the northern portion of tho county Thursday , afternoon. , Shortly after 8 o'clock a shower of live frogs began fall ing. .The shower of living creatures con tinued for five minutes and covered a 10 acre field on the farm of Ezra Willbnrn. 1 Tho frogs fell only on Mr. Willburn's farm, and at the time they fell the sky was cloudless. Mr. Willburn's small son was tho only person who witnessed the shower, and after recovering from his surprise at such a strange occurrence ho informed his father of tho affair. Tho Willburns at once began catching tho largest of the frogs and enjoyed a regal repast of delicious hams for sup per. The neighbors were also liberal iy supplied. The cause of the shower is somewhat a mystery, although it is said that the frogs could bare been drawn from a distant pond by a strong whirl wind and carried through the air to a point over Mr. Willburn's field. -Mun- cio (lad. ).

From a study of the climate of Egypt recently mado by Dr. J. llano, says the London Globe, it appears that for three or four days in March or April a hot, dusty wind visits Cairo and de stroys the foliage of many of tbe trees. During summer hot winds the Etesiaa vfinds of the ancients, to which Thalcs, ascribed the rise of the Nile blow from the north, but, although dry, they are clean. Toward September a damp ness of the air accompanies the rise of the Nile, dew falls occasionally and tho heat becomes oppressive, owing to the moisture. October and November bring snow and then a morning fog or a shower of rain; but after that the weather be comes pleasant and steady, snow is un known, frost is very rare and rain is also infrequent " The highest temperature recorded at Cairo during the seveaty-one years end ing 1SSS was 117 degrees Fahrenheit, in August 1SS1; the lowest was SS. ao prees Fahrenheit in February, 1SS0. The mean uppi temperature was 70.5 decrees Fahrenheit In 1SS7 the rain fall was only .67 inch, and in 1SSS it was 1.07 inches. Hail and thunder storms are exceedingly rare, -ATTAR OF ROSgS.

As he entered the floor he espied two men sku trying off to the other end of the dye-house.. At the summons, "Stand, or I fire!" they both jumped into a vat which they thought empty, but which was filled with some- color liquid. Standing in the blue bath, they both cried for mercy.

Nearly all the attar of roses in the world comes from the por tion of Europe which used to be a part of Turkey, but which is now under Rust slan influence. To secure a pound of essence it is necessary to have an entire acre of ground covered with roses and to have a good crop even then, and then the cultiv '.o.-s cannot rely on receiving more than seventy or seventy-five doU lars a pot .d. : Tho luoor of cultivation is "very ar duous, and plucking the roses is even more so, the work being done by wom en, whose hands are torn all to pieces by tho work, and whoso pay barely suf fices to buv food. Roses have been cul tivated in other countries for a similar purpose, but the return is nowhere so large as in tho neighborhood of the Balkans, where the soil and climate ap pear exceptionally adapted for the pur pose.
