"Yes- terday was the great day of the visit of the Prince of Wales, I wish he could have yed longer. It was very exciting, really seeing him. One has heard such heaps about him that it seems impossible that he can be real, a very natural and young look- ing boy. We saw quite a lot of him, oven though he was only here one day. He got a very good welcome from the Bangalese, I am glad to say. I believe he enjoyed his day here as much as anywhere, although we had nothing very grand for him, We saw his procession in the early morning, He arrived at 8.30; then thery was = parade of the troops, at which, I belleve, he was very pleased.

Dredge the meat with 1 tablespoon of the flour, and sear or brown it all over in the butter and drippings combined. Then place the meat in a deep kettle with the hot water and the diced vegetables, and let simmer till tender (about four hours), adding more water if necessary as this boils away. The kettle should be closely covered, for every bit of escaped odor means that just s0 much savor ig lost from the meat. (Some housewives use a brick or flat-iron to weight down the cover.) When temder, place the hot meat on a platter, thicken the liquid with the remainder of the Triour, mixed to a paste with cola water, pour this gravy over the meat, and serve. Ragout of Turnips: Pare and dice raw turnips uitii you have one quart. Chop 1- small onion finely.

Then add two cups of sugar and simmer for another hour. Now add 1-2 cup of cider vinegar and bofl 5 minutes, cool, and serve.

It is a plaintive melody breathing the regret that the harp, once the proud leader of music in the Emerald Isle, is heard there no more, In mediaeval daye the harp Was popular in many countries {in Europe. Why is it that # is now so seldom heard? The reason is that its place has been taken by its successor, the piano. The harp is an instrument of particularly sweet and entrancing tone. It is strung principally with strings of gut. Some of its heavier strings are of gut wound with cop- per wire. The cost of a set of strings is comparatively large, and though the instrument can be carried from place to place by the player, it is too heavy to be an easy load. It is bulky, too. For these reasons it now finds but few performers, Harp music 4s produced by pluck- ing the strings with the fingers, and it is interesting to note that in the spinet, an. early predecessor of the rlano, the notes were produced by Httle perpendicular "jacks," to witich pieces of feather rib were at- tached. When a key was struck the feather rfb was pressed against the string and produced a vibration eim- flar to that caused by plucking the string with the fingers, In playing the harp, the fingers ot |bave to stop the vibrations of the CASTORIA For Infants and Children InUse ForOver 30 Years Aware bears Sighacams of strings as well as set them in motion. into cold water and wash well.

"It inter ested me when passing down a street of small houses one Sunday," he writes, "io hear the melodious strains of 'The Lost Chord' mingling with the ragtime refrains which have occupied all the planos in the street on Sunday for some years, "I thought #t must be a little more than coincidence when one Monday morniniz I heard 'The Lost Chord' being sung in a hostel for students which I'pass on my way to business. "My idea that the old songs are coming bak was strengthened when, later in the day, I found showers of pennies descending on a band com- posed of ex-service men who were also playing 'The Lost Chord." Of coiirse, the revival of the Gjibert and Sullivan opéras may have conscious ly reminded a great many people of the Sullivan song. "On the other hand, however, I have often been delighted to hear some of the songs we used to sing years ago. I have stopped outside a house more than four or five times in one week to Hsten to the sweet music of such old favorites as 'Just a Song at Twilight' and 'Queen of the Earth'."
