PRINCES ON SHIPBOARD.
Bow th Soma of the Heir Apparaat Con-
, ducted ThemMlvea u Middle. ...'.
A gentleman whose office is in a Pine
street fire insurance company of this
city was a shipmate of - the late : Duke
of. Clarence and of his brother. Prince
George, on' board "" her majesty's ship
Britannia. He has a clear remembrance
of the day they joined the ship and of
their reception by their fellow middies.
In speaking of that eveut he said:
"At 8:15 on Jan. 18, 1877, on board her
majesty's ship Britannia, training ship
for gentlemen cadets, stationed at Dart
mouth, Devon, the bngler sounded
"quarters and all hands, in full uniform,
were mustered to receive the two newly
appointed, cadets, the . royal . princes.
Captain Fairfax, commanding, was
standing at . the head of the gangway
with the hrst lieutenant, in full dress,
and as the steam pinnace came along
side, the ship's band struck up 'God
Bless the Prince of Wales. -'.
; ''Captain Fairfax, having introduced
each of the wardroom officers and all
the instructors to their royal highnesses,
sang out: 'Attention! by your right,
dress; eyes front! Gentlemen cadets of
her majesty's ship Britannia. 1 now col
lectively present to you your new shin-
mates,1 their Royal Highnesses Prince
Albert Victor and Prince George of
Wales, with whom 1 will, now leave you.
Two paces, forward right about, turn,
dismiss! -
"Then began all the usual boyish
chaff, or "running,' as I believe it is
called at. Annapolis,, followed by the
task of showing our new shipmates
over the ship. As soon as they reached
the upper deck the senior cadet captain
said to them: 'Mates, it is an old cus
tom that each "new," on joining, shall go
aloft, over the futtocks, avoiding the
lubber's hole as he would the bottomless
pit Which of you two will be over
first? So over the futtocks and down
again went the two princes, . finally
joining in a game Of 'swing the monkey'
until the bugle sounded for cadets to
put on mess uniform for tea.
"At the sound of the bugle call two
venerable family retainers advanced to
our new shipmates, with every outward
sign of civilian respect, but no nautical
tug of the forelock to inform them that
their mess uniform was prepared. A
shrill voice called ont:
" 'Who are your ancient chums.
Wales?
" 'Why, don't you see,' some other wit
replied, 'one is the wet nurse and the
other the dry nurse."" ; ..
"The main difference between . the
Wales and the other cadets was that in
stead of sleeping in hammocks they had
large cabins knocked np for them on the
main deck, sleeping, dining and working
rooms being provided. They also bad a
special tutor, who was appointed a naval
instructor, the Rev. J. N. Dalton. who
afterward accompanied them in ' her
majesty's ship Bacchante on their voy
age around the world. -
"A favorite cadet. joke, was to get
Prince Eddie to 'stroke a pleasure boat.'
and when the coxswain allowed an 'easy
all,' some one would say, 'Wales, when
yon are indeed my ruler, I would very
much like it if you would make me a
duke:'
" 'Make yon a duke, you ewabf 111
make yon a shoeblack.'
"He would then be taken by the legs
and ducked till he agreed and gave his
'royal word of honor' that each member
of that boat's crew should be a duke
when he came to the throne.
"Although without the high spirits of
his younger brother, a sweeter tempered
and more unassuming cadet was never
entered in the books of her majesty's ship
Britannia, and those characteristics he
always retained. " The last time 1 saw him
was in 1888, when he was serving as a
captain in the Tenth Hussars, at York,
and he gave me the same cordial greet
ing that he always had given ten years
before, when we were brother cadets.
"A time honored custom on board the
Brittanuia is that cadets in their first
term 6hall 'fag' for cadets in their third
and fourth terms, and that cadets in
their second term shall 'fag' for those in
the fourth or final term. This rule was
in no way abated with the Wales boys,
and I have seen them on several occa
sions hauling a 'cadet of the necessary
seniority up the hill to the cricket
field on a broiling day, with the perspira
tion rolling down their royal brows. It
was good discipline." New York Times.
,Th Basking Shark. .
The ferocity of sharks is - not necessa
rily in proportion to their size. - For ex
ample, there is the great basking shark,
so called because of its habit of lying
motionless at the surface of the water.
It often attains a length of nearly forty
feet, but its teeth are small compara
tively, and it probably, never attacks
man, depending upon small fishes and
Crustacea for its diet.' Another name for
this species is "sail fish," because of its
great back fin, which shows out of the
water like a sail when it is basking. .,
Although sluggish ordinarily, and eas
ily harpooned, it exhibits great activity
and enormous strength when struck, div.
ing immediately to the bottom and re
quiring a great length of ' rope to hold
it. These basking sharks are caught
for their livers off the coast of Iceland,
and the oil obtained is nsed to adulterate
cod liver oil. Washington Star. .
: Fighting Parasites. . .,.-.;' ' r r
Only a beginning ..has been .made bf
the government in the work of fighting
the parasites of animals. - By always
condemning the pigs which are infected
with trichinae the disease will be ren
d?ied less common.- Heel flies and gad
flies are combated successfully and de
stroyed by spreading tar ointment over
the bodies of the beasts attacked. In its
labors the bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture devote
its attention first to studying the life
history of each parasite, in order to find
ont at what stage of its existence the
enemy can be attacked : to the best ad
vantage. Having procured a full knowl
edge of the habits and manner of exist
ence of the adversary it is comparative
ly easy to interfere with its operations.

' When WBMBsrtlMi Advantage.
Whatever disadvantages, .a .woman
lawyer may be under in the practice of
her profession, she has certain compen
sating advantages which her brothers at
the bar can never enjoy. A- little inci
dent in the chambers pari of the supreme
courrthe other day will illustrate this
point. It was Monday, which is always
the busiest day of the week in this
branch of the court. ' There was an un
usually long calendar this day, -'and al
though it was almost 1 o'clock the court
room was still crowded with fifty or
sixty lawyers, who had been waiting im
patiently since 11 o'clock to argue their
motions or to get "ex parte" orders
signed.' There was an unusually large
pile of these orders on the judge's desk
waiting to be signed, because bis honor
had been so busy that he had . been un
able to attend to them.
A modest looking, neatly dressed young
woman came into, the courtroom with
some legal papers in her hand. She
walked, up to the rail, while the clerk
quickly " came: forward, all attention.
He took the papers which she carried
and handed them to the judge, immedi
ately, while the court officers hustled
around and brought her a chair. . The
arguments of . the legal lights were
stopped, his honor took the papers,
glanced over, them ' quickly and put
some hieroglyphics, which stood for his
signature, at the bottom of them, the
clerk handed the documents back to the
young woman, and in .less than five
minutes after she entered the court
room", the woman lawyer had accom
plished her object and gone back to her
office. .
Just as she was disappearing through
the door a lawyer's plerk came up to the
rail
"Has the judge signed that order
which " 1 banded up this morning? he
asked. ;
"No," was the leply. "he will not sign
any orders before 2 or 8 o'clock." New

... location In Switzerland.
The system of education. in practice
among the Swiss is enlightened and far
reaching. Not only are pupils under a
strict, and . kindly discipline" while at
school, but they are also made to feel
that the warning and protecting care of
their tutors is pver them whenever they
are'outside the father's, house. Ajs soon
as the child is in the street .be has passed
from the circle of his home, and that
moment begins the school's authority.
Regulations, printed on slips and
dropped in every house, contain, among
a score of others equally sensible, the
following rule relating to outdoor man
ners: . . . -
" "Delay of any kind between the
scholar's home and school is not al
lowed. No, whooping, yelling, throwing
stones and snowballs, teasing children
or ridiculing age and deformity can be
endured. Grown persons shall be met
with civility as they pass. Thus shall
honor be reflected on the school." . -'
Once :in the classroom . the pupil is
taught deportment as well, as his three
"R's." He is told how. to walk, stand
and speak,- and a blot upon his book and
a smudge on his . face are regarded as
equally bad. Youth's Companion. .

Many Commonplace People..
It takes absolute self reliance and not
a little courage for a chap to make the
start from just where be happens to. be
when a project presents itself to him. A
majority of us not only desire to wait
until things shape themselves to our
wishes, but we insist upon making that
wait. The - man who says "111 do it."
and keeps his word, is phenomenal; the
one who makes the promise and tries to
keep it. sometimes failing and some
times succeeding, is exceptional, and the
one who -says he will achieve the result

Many people complain that they can
not drink milk without being distressed
by it.-. The reason is that they drink it
too fast. If a glass of milk is swallowed
nastily u enters ine stomach, and then
forms in one solid;' curdled mass 'difficult
of digestion. 'At least' four; minutes
should be occupied in drinking a glass .of
milk, so that in reaching the stomach it
