(i TIES OF MARRIAGE. Our King and Queen Connected With Pretty Nearly All of Europe -- England "Has a String on Most of Continental + 'THrolies. London, June 8.--The marriage of King Alfonso of Spain, and Princess Fna of Battenburg, has added an- other distinguished country to the list of Britain's relations by marriage. Many centinental rulers during the last fifty years have secured their brides from among the members of the voval family, and, as a result, King Edward and Queen Alexandra are con- nected by the closest ties of kinship to the sovercigns of nearly all / the principal states of Europe. King Al forso has thus many precedents/to go upcu in marrying one of Britain's dauvhters. Tt is interesting fo note that by this marriage the king of Spain "will become related to the czar, the German emperor and the mon- archs of Denmark, Norway; Sweden, SON ROWAL NATION STRENGTHENED BY months dgo the eldest son of the crown pringe of Sweden, When the daughter of the Buke ui Connaught as: cends the theron ® hic will have the pleasure of knowing that® her first cousin is queen of Norway, and this should unite the two countries in af- fection if not in government.

But then, nearly all the minor motiarchs of Germany are relatives of the king by marriage.

The czar of Russia is a nephew of Queen Alexandra, while the czarina is a niece of King Edward. The czarina before her marriage--which took place in 1894--was known as Princess Alix Victoria, a daughter oi the late grand duchess of Hesse, who was a sister of our king.

In addition to being a nephew of our sovereign, the czar is 5 cousin; while the merous uncles and cousins have com plicated matters etill further.

As the brother of Queen Alexandra, the king of Greece will always be esteemed by Englishmen. The king of Denmark is another of Queen Alexandra's brothers.

New Orleans Times-Democrat. Considerable interest attaches to the cement filling in the trunks. of the great oaks near St. Charles avenue, and many questions have been asked about this method of arresting the do- cay of trees, Horticulturists haye found that hey have been able to prevent limbs from decaying by wrapping them in cloth, This helps to exclude the dampness. Carrying their experiments one point further, it was found that cement would preserve the trunks of trees from rotting, just as a filling in a tooth prevents further decay. The question arose last: year as to what would be done to preserve the great oaks at Audubon Park, which were. losing their growth. and verdure by reason of big holes in their trunks, end it was accordingly decided to fill tht apertures With cement. Several carloads of sand, mortar, and brick were used in the operation, which has been attended with great. success. Old oaks regained their strength, new branches began to grow, and alto ftir they put on signs of renewed ile, The art of "arboreal dentistry' has since then been perfected to such an extent that even a' now bark can be' given tp a tree. It is proposed at some future date to cover the filling! with a layer of cement the color of} th oak's bark, which can be so work | «d as to resemble a natural covering. It is said that this will preserve the! trex even better than will ordinary ce ment, while at the same time 'it will add to its beauty by hiding the mor- tar. EUN IN THE HOME.
