\. "^ 1! i KIM EDWARD AM FAMILY SOBtE INTEEESTING STOSIES A30XJT THEM. Anecdotes Which Show the King's Character â€" Prince ot Wales at Sea. King Edward is a very quick â- wulker, and his pace sometimes taxes the power of his at lenidajnts. One dumb companion, however, nev- er I'iiils to keep at his .side, nud tlisvt Is I'eler, a French bulldog, which for many years has been everywhere with him. During one of his voy- ages with his royal masiter poor Pet- er suffered so much from swasickness that lie strained the nitisclea of the back of his e.ves, and in consequence becaaue blind. It is most touchilig to see I oor blind Peter following the King about the grounds at Saad- ringham as unerringly as though he could see. King Edward, while staying as a guest at a certain countj-y man.sion a few months ago, entered the vil- lage -school one morning ciuito unr expijctedly, and in his usual pleasant way aaked the children a few ques- tions. 'Now, my young friends,' said King Edward, cheerfully, 'I daresay Bome of you can toll me the najues of a few of o.ur greatest kings and que»"is, eh?' _ With one accord they cried out â€" 'King Alfred and Queen Victoria, Bir.' Just then a tiny slip of a boy, to whom the schoolmaster had whisper- ed .something, stood up a.nd raised his hand. 'Do you know another, my boy?" asked the King. 'Yes, Your Ma-egty. â€" King Edward VII.' His Majesty laughed, and again nskod: 'What great act has King Edward 'VII. done, pray'?' The boy lowered his head, and Btammered out: 'I don't know. Your Majesty!' 'Don't be distressed, my lad,' said the King, sniiling; 'I don't know either.' As a midshipman, Pi'lnce George, now Trince of Wales, was as full of high spirits and as fond of a prac- tical joke as boys mostly aj-o. VValk- ing through a Portsmouth street with some brother middies, he no- ticed a grocer stroking Ivis loiig beard In a very complacent manner. The boys considered, entered the shop, aud Prin.ce George as!;ed the grocer to servo him with two pounds of treacle into his extended rap. The grocer did as requested, ?uspectiiig a joke, but not a per- sonal oi». The Princ-e immediately slipped a sovereign in the man's hand, and slapred tlie cap of syrup on hisi head, and while the sticky compound traveled down the long bearf the boys sctUiipercd olt. The o;riicor quickly got over his conster- nation, and, being a sensililo man, entered into the joke, put up 'Pur- veyor to Royalty,' above the shop door, and considers that his trade has henceforth taken a turn for the better. King Edward won tlui reputation for being quite a machinist not long ago, when taking lUi tvutouiobile ride near Wiesbatien. The motor ran out of wat<."r and th<> boiler was lillod from a wayside i^pring. By- and-b.v tlie motor would not work, and his comparuon, who was an ex- pert, could find no" reason for its faiUire. I wonder," he suggested. in tentative fashion, 'if that water we took in has anything to do with it? You know these Geruuin wa- ters generally have some sort of mineri'l proi>crties in them. The boiling may cause crystjillization. and s« choke the piston.' The pis- ton rod was immediatel.v inspected, and, .sure enough, it was so crusted that for all d'-iving purpo.scs it might as well have been heavily co-ited with rust. Saaidpuper was usod, some unadulterated water found, and the journey was con- tinued. Queen Alexandra, when Princess of Wales, and her tltreo daughters', the latter being quite childreai, were staying at a quiet watering place. On returning from a short snil the princess had just stepped ashore, and th.' little princesses wero preparing to follow. One of Uie little girls was on the plank, and au old sailor instinctivel.v said: 'Take care, lit- tle lad.v.' The diild divw hersvU up haiiKhiily. and said: 'I'm not a. lit- tle lady â€" I'lu a princess.' The I'rin- CCKS of Wales, overhearing the kind- ly injunction and the ansAvor. said. with great sweetness; Tell the good old sailor you nro not a litUe latiy yet, but you lio?e to be one day." I.iltle Prince Edward of York Is already .showing a delightful sturdi- ncs.s of character. Ho has a pro- found dislike for oritlunetio, and shares the opinion of the biu'd who laid down tl:e axiom â€" 'Midtiplica- tlon is vexation' Many thnesi has the future King of EnglaiHl been â- put in the cornen-' owing to this; and rccentl.v, when he saw the hat- ed preparation of slates and arith- metic teiivg made to start the day's lcs»ins, he rose from the table, with a sigh for the impeudinu Inevitable Catastrophe, and !«ai(l quietly to his tutor: 'T don't think I'll do 'lith- nietic to day. 1 think I'll go into the corner again instead. If you don't mind.' Breathing Disease. Infectious diseases are breathed into the system from those affected with disease or from bad smells; yet how many women breathe daily the olTenBive steam from common soaps made from rancid fats, and keep their liands for hours in such solutions, and the clothing from such soap suds Is worn next the tender akin. No â- wonder disease and eczema are prevalent ! Users of Sunlight Soap â€" Octagon Barâ€" know the difference between that and the pure, health- ful smell from the vegetable oils and pure edible fata in Sunlight Soap. 208 have a sailor's liking for the truth, plain and unvarnished. At the time of tlie royal colonial tour a maga- zine mentioned the fact tltat Mr. So-and-So had suffered acutely from mal-<ie-mer. Captain So-.and-So had tieen seasick, and His Royal High- ness the Dulce had been sJightly in- disposed. When the Duke read this he blurted out: 'Hiunbug! Slightly indisposed indeed! Why didn't they aay at once that His Royal High- ness had been horribly seasick, and had spent a good part of one day in the greatest misery? That would have been the truth!' The story is told that when Prince Edward was with Queen Victoria at Cimiez he was playing in the Queen's room when the hour for bed arrived. The floor was littered with toys, whicli the nurse insisted on the prince putting tidily away before go- ing te bed. To tliis the prince ob- jected, but finally effected a com- promise by appealing to the Queen. "I will put them away if granny â- will help me.' he said, tunning his bright little face to the Queen, and together the great white Queen and the little baby prince picked up the scattered toys. Lord Bonald Gower tells a good story of little Prince Edward which suggests that he po.=!sesse9 some of his grandfather's well-known tact. Some one (Sir Stafford Northcote, it is said) was rather boring him a.nd his brother by a long story, so that at the end Prince George be- gan to show signs of weariness. Prince Edward (he was only four years old at the time) turned to him authoritatively at the conclusion, staying: â-  'Smile!' « SHIP'S BELL FOE THE KING. It Bears the Legend, "Prince of Wales, 1740." When the EingUsh schooner Attrac- tor. Captain W. Scott, ai'rived in Jersey City recently with a cargo of cocoanuts from Kingston, Jamaica, the Captain brought from the tropics an interesting tale of recov- ered treasure and showed to persons who visited the ship a brass bell bearing the inscription "Prince of Wales, 1740," which is to be sent to King Kdward VU. of England. The bell, which, judging from its size and shape, was formerly a ship's bell, formed part of the treasure recover- ed from the deep. "Close on to five weeks ago we anchored in the harbor of Kingston,' said Captain Scott, "and learned that two lishermen who had been lishing from a reef a few i '.es from Kingston had made an important discovery. This spot, generally as rough a bit of sea as is found any^ where, was calm this day, and the fishermen gazing down saw some- thing glitter on the bottom. This excited the curiosity of the men and one ot them stripped and dived to the bottom to invef^tigate. He came u( with a gold Mexican coin beat^ iiig the date ot 1700. 'They peered again into the water and saw more coins, and one of the lishermen, being a loyal svihject, con- cluded to notify the authorities at Jamaica. He did so, and the Britr- ish authorities upon investigation, recovered more than §10.000 worth of gold coin from Davy Jones' locker. They took it to Kingston. Most ol the Coins were Mexican, bearing dates between 1700 and 1735. There wore also several Spaii- i.sh, French and Knglish coins in the tlnd. "While picking up the gold, tho divers employed by the ofl'icials found the brass bell imbedded in a rock. They tried to lift it out. but it was held fast and they had to us© dynamite cartridges to blast the rook. This cracked the hell, hut when they discovered the inscription they concliKled to .send it to King Edward. believing that he would appreciate it as a coronation gift. The Attrnctor being the rir.«it shif out of port, they sent tho bell over to me and. as I w.ts about ready to raise sail, they told mo to pack it in a case upon arrival in New Y'ork and ship it to tOngland. I will fol- low out those instructions. "Kroin what I cotild learn of the story. I l>elie\e that the coins • and hell were taken from an V'nglish ship by pirnlos who. iqion being pursued, wero forced to dump tho plunder , overboard. 1'hey, no doubt, selected the reef ns the most likely spot, be- caui'e the.v would be nhio to recover it later. Why they didn't come back for it is soweihing that oven a siailor wouhtti't attempt to explain." HE COULD WAIT. In many Scottish families tho old man-servant is someUiing of an in- stitution. He enters the service of a particular family when a boy, adheres faithfully to his place for a long number of .vears. and only re- signs when the iulirmities of age are upon him. In time he becomes ra- ther imperious in tone, and claims as his rights little things that wero at first granted to hiui as favors. If any objection is urged to his de- mands he usually asserts himself with a spirit of independence. A lady tells an amusing story il- lustrative of this. Her coachman â€" a crusty old customer who had been in the service of the family in her father's time â€" gave her great trou- ble and annoyance on dilTerent oc- casions by not carrying out her iu- srtructions. At length the matter became unbearable, and she deter- mined to s:ee what effect dismissal would have upon the umtinous ser- vant. Calling him into her pre- sence, she said with as much as- perity as she could command: "I cannot stand this any longer, John. You must look out for an- other situation. You will leave my service at the end of tho month." The old servant looked at her in amusement for a minute, and then the characteristic "loyalty" cams to the .surface. "Na, na, my lady," he said. "I drove you to the kirk to be bap- tized, 1 drove you to your mar- riage, and I'll stay to drive you to your funeral!"" HAD TO BE LIFTED. A HELPLESS CRIPPLE IS EE- STOEED TO HEALTH ANT> STEEITGTH. Lame Back Had This Slan a Pris- oner for a Long Time, but at Last He Fonnd a Cure Though Giv- 1 Up by the Doctors. Napanee, Ont., July 14.â€" (Spe- cial) â€" The doctors told Simon War- ner that they could do nothing for him. He had tried many medicines and treatments with no. good re suit. He was a helpless cripple with lame back, and for a long time lUs wife had to lift him in and out of bed, the pain in his back wus so very severe. In this extrexnily a friend's ad- vice .saved him. lliis man had suf- fered with backache himself, but had been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, thus when he heard that Mr. Warner was so bad he went to his home and recoumiended this medicine to him. Mr. Warner and his good wife were at first inclined to be somewhat doubtful, but here was tJio evidence that Podd's Kidney Pill.s do cure Lame Back right bofi^re their very eyos in the person of the m.an who had been cured. Surely it must be ti-ue. So after some deliberation they decided to try, and now tJiey are very much pleased that they did .»o, for in a short time Mr. 'War- ner's backache had vanished. lie grew gradually stronger and better •And at present enjoys the best all- round good health he has had for many years. There is not a trace of lame back reuLaining, not a S'ingle symptom, and the helpless man who used to be a burden to. hinxself and. his wife is now strong ^nd a comfort to his faithful helptnato. He says: "We have used in all about twen- ty-five bo.xes of Dorfd's Kidney Pills, and given some away to our neigh- bors. I find that when they use a box they themselves are about as string in their recominendaUons as we are. "I Can certainly highly recommend Dodri's Kidney Pills as o. snire cure for Lame Back, for they cured me. and I never heard of a worse case." . ^ The biggest clock ever made by one man has just been finished in Chicago.
