Kntiinnccn that Have Figured In the
OthcrwUe Cut-nuri-Vrlcd I.lvca of
u 1'oiv of tlio Great Killers of the
Continent of Kuropc.
Mnny people are possessed of the
Idea Hint, nt royal nnirrhiges have
generally to be nrrniigcd u.i innlm of
Htutu, the prospective bridegroom Iiiih
no occasion to woo bis bride as tlio
average iiinii would do. TIiIh, how
ever, In n totally erroneous Men, is
will bo found on rending the following
ntitheutle accounts of how and wheru
hoiiio royalties proposed to those wlio
ultimately became their wives, says
Loudon Tlt'ltlts.
It was at Rosenberg, the palace of
the Danish royal family, that Klnir
Kt'wnrd VII. proposed to and was ac
cepted by our gracious queen. Ills
majesty then, of course, Prince of
Wales first saw bis wife In the cathe
dral of a continental town, and was
so Impressed with her beauty that be
determined to secure an Introduction
on learning who the princess wns. The
result of that Introduction was that a
short time afterward the prince went
over to Denmarlc and made a formal
claim for the hand of the princess.
A ('banning story Is thnt told regard
ing the mannct' In which tlio Into Em
peror Frederick of Gcrmnny, then
crown prince, proposed to tho princess
royal (the Into Empress Frederick).
The two became separated from the
Vest of n royal party, who wcro tak
ing n wnlk over a Scotch moor In the
vicinity of linlmornl. Suddenly the
crown prince spied n bit of white
heather, and, picking It up, gnvo It to
the young girl beside him for the
princess wns barely 18 years of ago
at the time. Hho knew, however, the
meaning of the slmplo gift, and whis
pered "Yes" loud enough for her com
panion to hear. During the remainder
of their lives Hnlmornl always bnd
great attractions for too emperor and
empress.
Whlto Lodge, Richmond Park, was
tho place where our present Prlnco of
Wales wooed and won the heart of
Princess May. Tho prince went on n
visit for n few weeks to his Bister, tho
Duchess of Fife, who lived at Sheen
House, nenr the park gates. Every
day his royal highness could bo seen
strolling down Sheen lane, lending to
White Lodge, and It was In tbo gnr
dens round thnt mansion Unit he put
the alblmportnnt question.
In describing how the Marquis of
Lome, now, of course, the Duku of Ar
gyll, proposed to Princess Louise, one
cannot do better than quote the rec
ord made of the event by Queen Vic
toria In ber "Leaves From the .Journal
of a Life In the Highlands." Our lute
queen wrote:
"This wns an eventful day. Our
dear Louise became engaged to Lord
Lome. 'I be event took place (luring
u wall; from Die (iinssiiit Klilel to
Loeb Dint. We got home by 7. Louise,
who had got homo siiinii time after,
told mo that Lome had spoken of bis
devotion to her and proposed to her,
nttd thnt she had accepted blin, know
ing that I should approve."
It was at the same place, I. e., Rosen
borg, tbo seat of tbo Danish royal
family, where our king proposed to
the "daughter of tbo sea kliius," that
the present czar asked Princess Alls of
Hesse In 181M to be his wife. He bad
made up bis mind long before that If
he married It would be to whom he
pleased rather than one commended
to him by his counsellors for state rea
sons. Ills choleeafell upon Princess
Alls, and a party wns arranged nt
Rosenberg to allow Nicholas to meet
this royal lady. Accounts differ re
garding tho actual spot where tho
proposal took place. Somo say the
czar proposed during an evening party;
others that be did so In tho gardens
round the palace while out for n walk
with tho princess. The latter nceouut,
however, Is generally regarded as cor
rect.
PLANTS THAT IMITATE KIN.
Method y Which Inunluiuto Thlnga
Secure Protection.
Tim methods of plants by which they
protect themselves from their enemies
by mimicking other plnuts which have
adequate protection are Interesting In
deed. Itov. A. 8. Wilson writes In
Knowledge, Loudon, as follows:
Mimicry Is perhaps more frequent In
tbo seed than In any other part of tho
vegetable organism; It occurs, however,
In other organs, and even the entire
plant body may assume a deceptive ap
pearance. A well known example Is In
tbo white dead nettle, which so close
ly resembles tho stinging uettlo lu stzo
nnd In tbo shape and arrangement of
Its leaves, lu systematic position the
two plants nro widely removed from
each other, but they grow lu similar
situations and nro enslly mistaken;
anyone who has occasion to collect
quantities of latntum is almost sure to
get bis bauds stung by urtlca, an ex
perience calculated to convince otio of
the oillcney of protective resemblance.
Among animals It Is species provided
with formidable weapons of defense
thnt are most frequently mimicked by
weak, defenseless creatures. Tho sting
lug nettle Is therefore n very likely
model for unprotected plants to copy,
A somewhat analogous case Is the yel
low bugle of the Itlvtcm, which bus Its
leaves crowded and divided Into three
linear lobes, some of which nro ugaln
divided, lu this the plant differs very
materially from Its allies. It has, bow
over, acquired a very striking resem
blance to a specie of euphorbia, abuud
aut ou tbo Riviera. The acrid Juice of
Many persons who would not think of going to see a real cock fight would
be glad to see the kind wlilcb mny be played in a parlor. It is played by two
men, who nre sented on the ground, opposite each other, , nml It Is called "a humau
cockfight," because the tactics of the combatants arc not unlike those of two
cocks In n pit.
The legs of each man must he tleJ above the feet, the knees must be drawn
up to the chin nnd the hands must he crossed In front on the shins. When the
men arc In thLs attitude n cane Is iihored under their hams In such a manner
that Its ends will rest on their arms, and then the combat begins.
The object of each combatant Is to shove the tip of his foot under thnt of
his opponent, for If he can once do that he can easily give him a shove that
will place him "hors dc combat. One in the nccompanylng picture has accom
plished this feat, nnd must be considered the winner, since his fallen opponent
is unable to regain his position.
The rules of the game require that the hands shnll be fastened ns well as
the feet, but this Is seldom done when the light tukes place in a drawing room or
parlor.
tho euphorbias secures them Immunity
ngalnst a host of enemies. As the two
plants grow together there Is little
room to doubt that, llko tho dead net
tle, the bugle prollts by Its likeness to
Its well-protected neighbor.
Ono of the pineapple family grows
on trees In tropical America, nnd has
a resemblance to a shaggy lichen ho
marked thnt It Is generally mistaken
for n il nut of thnt order. The fly aga

fungus, according to Dr. Plowrlgbt, Is

dcscrlbo tho feat as tho "revenge of

Tho race occurred on tho Promenade

most perfect racing course In France.

TURKEY HUNTING AN ART.
Wild Fowl Can DUtlnuiiUh Murka of
Uiuuuit lleliiif.
The successful turkey hunter Is prob
ably the most scientific sportsman lu
tho world. He matches himself against
tbo acutest of all feathered things.
Tbo turkey Is not only gifted with
extraordinary sight, hearing, wariness
and alertness, but It knows the woods
better than any mere mnn can know
them, and It has distinctly the faculty
of disutility or reason. A turkey knows
not only that tbo appearance of a cer
tain part of the ground la not right, but
also why It Is not right.
It will distinguish readily between
marks of passage inude by a wild ani
mal nnd a human being. Negroes as
sert thnt It can smell powder, Just as
they believe that a crow can smell
powder, but tbero Is no evidence that
Its sense of smell Is specially devel
oped. Its power of flight Is not great, nor Is
It enduring on foot There are many
animals which prey upon It and can
out run It. It has bad to depcud for
preservation upon Its Intellect, and this
Intellect has come to bo remarkably
developed.
The turkey Is not hard to find and
kill wt It Is gobbling from a tree top
In the early spring morulug, but the
person who goes after oue later In the
day must kuow bis business. It la
sometiBiM takes ta traps made of logs
and roofed with branches, thcro being
an entrance under the bottom log. Onco
Inside, having been tolled tbero by
pnrched corn grains, It travels around
nnd around looking for nn exit higher
than Its head.
It Is sometimes slain, too, by being
led to a shallow trench dug In tlio
woods and sprinkled with parched
corn, a V-shaped blind having been
prepared thirty yards away. If shot
legitimately, however, at any time
savo at daybreak or when flying Into
Its roost at night, It must bo called to
tho hidden gun, mid In tills tho sclenco

An Underground Photograph.
There are thousands of people who
hnvo desired to see what tho bottom
of an oil well looked llko after a hun
dred quart glyccrlno torpedo bnd been
exploded In If. Rut no ordinary mor
tal could crawl down a six-Inch holo
to the depth of two thousand feet If
ho wanted to, and no sano ono would
want to If ho could. So tho curious
oil seeker has heretofore been com
pelled to guess ns to the effect of the
torpedo shot.
An oil country photographer furnish
ed tho desired picture. Tho successful
experiment was mndo at Warren, Pa,
Tho Instrument was let down to tho
bottom of a seventeen hundred foot
well, which had been subjected to a
torpedo explosion.
When tho camera touched bottom a.
bright flash lit up tho cavity, Impress
ing a perfect plcturo on tho negative.
A cavity fourteen feet broad and seven
feet deep below tbo oil sand was re
vealed. Into tho cavity, enlarged by
tho forco of a glycerine explosion, from
the ordinary six-Inch drill hole the oil
trickled nnd accumulated, ready to bo
pumped to the surface.

"My first purchase lu Siberia," writes
a traveler who recently mndo the
transcontinental Journey, "was a post
ago stamp; nnd, living In n country
whero otllclals nro public servants, It
seemed strnngo to mo to stntul with
lint removed, before a counter, behind
which a man snt with bis cap ou,

ciously consented to sell mo a stamp.
Great as the postmaster is, bn Is noth

ono extremely hot day on tho Amoor,
n wealthy merchant wns lylug ou a

ordered him to put ou his coat lu tho

steamboat, but to no effect."
Throw Cold Water on Him.
A titled lady warned ber gardener
that her husband hnd an Irritating
habit of disparaging everything be
saw In the greenhouse, nnd of order
ing, lu a reckless maimer, new plants
to bo bought.
"Hut ou no account humor him," she
said. "Whatever he says, throw cold
water ou him, or ho will ruin us with
his extravagance,"
At this point the new gardener turn
ed ou her a white and startled face,
"Mn'nm." he naked, "If ho orders
me to pitch every plant In the place
on the rubblsb-heap, I shan't ever have
the pluck to douse him In cold water.
Won't It do Just as well If I get a
drain of warm water out of the boiler
and let It trickle gently down bis
neck?"
