It meant that the house had been recognized by the Queen as the leading concern in its line in Scotland, and that thereafter it would be entitled to the use of the legend, “Jewellers to Her Majesty.” Every business house in Great Britain longs for and works for the privilege by using these words in connection with its special line of trade. Such an or- der from the Queen may entail very heavy expense, but this is more than offset, as a rule, by the prestige gained by the free advertising that follows, and by the customers that flock to a store which enjoys the Queen’s patron- 380‘ the ceiling.

It is not conceivab' e that the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of In- dia could enter a shop like an ordin- ary mortal, but as it is necessary that she should shop occasionally, she, ihstead of going to the shop, issues her request in the form given above, and the shop goes to her. At her leisure she makes her selections, and in due course the hill is audited and paid by the comp- troller of the royal household. Per- haps the only man in America at this time who has waited upon Queen Vic- toria as a salesman is Charles Lytton Scale. who was sent to Balmoral as the representative of the Edinburgh jew- ellers summoned. This is the story of his first and only direct communication with royalty : the royal patronage, and it had been the great ambition of the firm to en-1 joy that distinction. Accordingly noth-l ing was omitted that coulld make a fa-‘ vorable immession upon her Majesty. her household. officers, attendants, and servants. I was selected to represent the firm and was directed to make and : prepare a selection of goods that would 3 attract and please the Queen. 1 was in- . structed to spare no pains or expense in making my visit a success. Direct profits were not to be considered for a moment. I secured carte blanche to distribute money, jewels, or favors wherever they would do the most good, for it was thoroughly understood that friends at court must both be made and retained. Whi.e this was expen- sive, it was one of the pcsalties inci- dent to the Queen’s patronage. I stor- cd my sample cases with the choicest of Scottish jewelry, such as gems, rings, dirks, crosses. from Iona, skene-dhus, tackles, scarf-pins, bracelets, watch-es, breastpins, chains. and such articles as were peculiar to Scottish manufacture. My selection was valued at £50,000. “On the date indicated [arrived at the castle gate with my precious case in a heavy snow storm. I was received by a porter, who asked, not unpleas- antly, 'What do you wish 'i’ I replied, 'I wish to go to the cast.e on business with her Majesty.’ I was then conduct- ed to the lodge, where I was met by another porter, who inspected me care- fully, and read the letter from Qen. ..- vâ€" ‘uLIJ , uuu Gum“ vvvvvvvv Ponsonby, which served as my creden- tiais.

He was a most pictur- esque figure in his Highland costume, which he always wore when at Balmor- 3.1.

As the Queen’s favorite was a good deal of a factor in the in- ner social life at the castle, he was an important individual {or me to cultiv- ate and know well.

His suite consisted of a reception room, parlor, bedroom and bathroom, all finished in light oak, and handsomely, even rich- 1 furnished. Costly rugs covered the [car and the tables and mantels were profusely decorated with souvenirs and mementoes in the form of jewels, mulls, clocks, and vases. which had been pre- sented to him from time to time.by royal personages or high dignitaries. The walls of the rooms were a study, for they were literally covered with pic- tures, paintings, engravings, and photo- graphs of the reigning family of Eng- land and of nearly all the living rul- ers and statesmen of Europe, and of many who were dead. I was told that his collection was the most comprehen- \sive gallery of portraits in England,and ‘its value was enhanced by the fact that almost every picture had the autograph- ic signature of the original across the lower edge. Brown was very proud of his collection, which had taken many years to gather. I have often wonder- ed what has become of his unique gal- lery since his death. "With true Highland hospitality he first offered the snuff from a silver mull. It is etiquette in that country to accept snuff with your host, and to refuse is regarded as particularly churlish. I had in my pocket a parâ€" ticularly handsome, bejewelled skeneâ€" dhu, or Scottish dirk, valued at some- thing over £50. As the old Highlander was very much pleased with the bauble, I. asked him to acept it as a souvenir of my visit. This he did without the least show of hesitation, and forthwith the article found a place with other gifts or tips about the room. He was my ready friend during the rest of my sojourn at the castle, and proved of no small assistance on one or two OCCaSl- ons. I subsequently made liberal gifts to all the upper servants including the steward, and to many of the lower serv- ants also in pursuance of my instruc- tions. in every case they were accept- ed quite as a matter of course, and were ,‘tividently regarded as legitimate per- ‘quisites of office in the royal household. My account for gifts made in this manner footed up over £400, but my firm, regarded this as money well spent, .and I was congratulated on my action in‘ _thls regard, “ I had been at the castle a full week before I received any word from the Queen. On the morning of the eighth day a special messenger called for me and said her Majesty would see me, and that I was to bring my jewels. I reâ€" sponded at once to the summons, and was conducted to the Queen’s apart- ments. or at least to what I took to be a music room. Here I spread my wares on several small tables and the grand piano and waited. Presently the door opened and the Queen, preceded by John Brown, and followed by Miss MacDonald, entered. I bowed as any gentleman would bow to a lady enter- ”18‘. and the salutation was returned in an easy. unaffected manner.

I had been cau- tioned beforehand by Brown not to speak until I had been spoken to, and )n no account to address the Queen unless she spoke directly to me. These 'nstructions I followed faithfully throughout. “ The Queen commented on the dif- ferent articles as Miss MacDonald hand- ‘zd them to her. one after another. The ‘onversation was generally in French. mt, as I understood the language, all that was said was perfectly intelligible to me. Her remarks were of an ordin- 11'y character, and such as a well-bred ady might be supposed to make while ,n a shopping expedition. While exam- ining a brooch she asked Miss MacDon- May the 18 never aId what the price was. whereupon the lady turned to, me and repeated the question. I answered ‘Three hundred guineas.’ M’ss LiacDonald then turn- ed to the Queen, and repeated, ‘Three hundred guineas, "39,3111; _ ‘1‘ L c â€"â€"â€"vâ€"â€"' “‘Oh. exclaimed the Queen. ‘that seems very dear,’ as she laid the ar- ticle down. Sometimes she would ex- press satisfaction, “and occasionally would criticise an article by saying: :This is very tasteful,’ or ‘ I think that is quite artistic,’ or again. ' 0h. I think that is very ugly.’ At one time she had quite an animated discussion with John Brown over the merits of a silver statueite. Brown freely and almost bluntly expressed his opinion, although it was quite the reverse of that held by the Queen. “ After selecting eight or ten of the most expensive articles, with the sim- ple formula: ‘ I will take that,’ or ‘You may lay that aside,’ she turned her at- tention to the lower-Priced EOOdS- These she examined with less care, but asked the price of each before deciding. Af- ter selecting about ten of these arti- cles she nearly took my breath away by saying to Miss MacDonald: ”‘1 will take a dozen of each of “ The shopping had lasted about three quarters of an hour. when she turned abruptly to Miss MacDonald and said: ‘ That will do for the pmsent.’ She then bowed and retired. but suggested to Miss MacDonald as she passed out that I had better remain at the castle a few days. until the Prince of \Vales and Princess Maud returned, as they might wish to see my display. At this part- ing. but pleasant suggestion was re- peated to me the door closed and the Queen’s shopping expedition was end- ed for the day. The total purchases made by her Majesty amounted to about A- A these! £810. “As the Queen’s suggestion that I remain a few days longer was equiva- lent to a. command, I sojourned in my gomfortqble quarters ‘fO‘I; gnothex: wepk. luocnlating the Soil WI“!

Besides buying well-selected fertiliz- ers, the progressive farmer of the fu- ture will also provide himself with bot- tled billions of the microbes which en- able plants to obtain nitrogen from the air. It was a long puzzle to chemists to learn how nitrogen is absorbed. It. was clear that under ordinary circum- stances plants are unable to appropri- ate directly from the air the nitrogen they absolutely require for their are not capable of. causing it to become a constituent of the sap or fiber. Le- guminous plants, such as beans, peas and clover, require a great deal of nitrogen, and it was of special inter- est to provide them artificially, if pos-, sible, with this important constituent, The mystery was dispelled by a re- cent discovery that the roots of plants capable of absorbing nitrogen bear lit- tle protuberances, and it is through Ithese protuberances that the nitrogen {is taken in. Further study with the help of the microscope revealed the fact that the protuberances contain millions of bacteria, and that it is these bacteria that absorb the nitrogen and give it to the roots of plants ina form in which it can be used by them .To the activity of. these beneficent bacteria, plantsâ€"particularly leguminous plants -â€"owe their vigor and perhaps their ex- istence in their present form. ll‘he plant life, in this view, is a; result, an incidental products, of the vital pro- cesses of microbes, a million of which could swim with comfort in A SINGLE DROP OF \VATER.

Years Afterwards the Guilty Man Makes a Full Confession of the Terrible Crime â€"Why Portugal Abolished the Death Penalty. Parada, the once famous prisoner of the Relacam prison, in Oporto, Fortu- gal is dead. News of his death in Af- trica “has recently been received. Dur- ing fifteen years the mysterious convict, whose only prototype in the annals of famous prisoners was the romantic pris- oner of the Bastile, the “ Man \Vith the Iron Mask,” Suffered in solitary confinement for a crime he never com- mitted. Somet‘hing over twenty years ago all Europe was shocked by the details of the murder. of a Catholic priest who had charge of. the diocese of Barga, in North Portugal. The priest was con- ducting early mass, when a young man suddenly sprang to his feet, and, drawing a knife from his belt, rushed towards the priest, shouting:â€" “ You 'have wronged my family! Un- der your stole beats a. craven ‘heart, and I will tear it out !” Friends seized him and dragged him down the aisle into the street. He raved and shouted backsâ€"- “ I will kill him yet! He will be dead before sunset. I will kill him even if I have to crawl into his bedroom to do it I" THE DEED \VAS DONE. No one believed he was serious, but. nevertheless, more out of a, spirit of mischief than in expectation of seeing a crime committed, a crowd of about twenty young men and women gath- ered in the vicinity of the priest’s house between five and six o’clock that evening. They were about to disperse when they saw the figure of a man leap from a window of the priest’s house. He landed in the garden, and. raising him- self, started for the hills. It was Pa- rada. Many started in pursuit, but al- though the entire village was roused he got away. \V h-ile one crowd was chasing Para.- da. another thronged about the priest's house. and some of them entered.

But King Peter V., of Portugal, was impressed by Panda’s earnest plea of innocence, and changed the sen- tence to_impr_i_sonme£t for life. uvuvv v Thereafter Peter V., received regu- larly, twice a year, just before Good Friday and before his birthday, a let- ter, each time from some foreign port, written in the same handwriting, and consisting only of these words:â€" "Parada is innocent.

Statlsum of Foreigners and Emigration in Various Countries. There is only one country‘in the world, so far as official figures Show. in which the number of foreign resi- dents is exactly the same as the num- ber of natives living abroad. That country is the republic of Switzerland. which, by the last enumeration by cantons, was seen to have a foreign population of 290,000, whereas the to- tal number of natives of Switzerland in other countries foots up the same figure, 105,000 of them being residents of the United States and more than 100,000 being residents of the replib‘ lic of France. Though a century ago the Swiss who left their homes for official or military service in other countries were known for their alle- giance to royalty and monarchial in- stitutions, the Swiss of to-day residing away from home go by preference to republican countries. There are very few natives of Switzerland to befound. as the reports show, in countries under monarchical rule. Russia. is the EurOpean country from which, in proportion to the total pOpu- lation, emigration has been smallest. The total number of Russians in all the countries of ‘the world, excluding Poland from the computation, is 200,- 000, and the number of foreign resi- dents of Russia is very nearly as large, 175,000. The other extreme is reached in the case of Ireland. The present popuiation of that country is about 5,100,000, and only 100,000 of the inhabitants of. Ireailnd were born in other countries, and of this number only 20,000 111 countries other than those inciuded in the United Kingdom. Though there are only 20,000 foreign.- ers in Ireland, the number of natnges ,of Ireland resident in other countrles iexceeds 5,000,000. There are .2,000,000 [natives of Ireland resident in the United States, more than 1,000,000 in Canada, nearly 500,000 in Australia, 700,000 in England, and nearly 300,000 in Scotland. _ ~vv ‘7 .vv--‘.- The number of foreigners resident in France is 1,200,000, and the number of French residents of other countries. ex- clusive of French colonies, is materially less. There are fewer than 125,000 .na- tives of France resident in the United tates. The Argentine Repubic con- tains about the same number, and in the various countries of Europe there are about 200,000 more in all less than 500,000 natives of France resident in other countries less than one-half the number of foreigners residing in France. ‘ Engishmen and Seotchmen are, of course, to be found in every part of the world, but the total number of them residing on the European Con- tinent is surprisingly lowâ€"less than 100,000. There are four times as many foreig‘ngborn residents in Engiand and “Tales as there are Englishmen, Irish- men. \Velshmen, and _Seotchmen raid; ing in the whole of EurOpe outside or the United Kingdom. There are thirty times as many Seotchmen in Canada. aione asthe total foreign population of Scotiand, and there are 200,000 na- tives of Scotland resident in Australia.

The Germans are very much in ear- nest about electric ploughing. Their National Agricultural Society has ar- ranged a prize competition among power-driven ploughs, intended spe- cially to encourage and develop the ap» plication of electric power to the work- ing of ploughs and other agricultural implements. In the trials non-electri- cal ploughs will also be tested, so that a comparison may he made of. the re- lative efficiency of the different sys- tems. Only ploughs will be tested, as it is considered that the power could easily be applied to other implements With but siighet alterations. Special at- tention will be paid to the conveyance of.the outfits from field to field. One przze of 3000 marks and another of 1000 marks will be given for the best plough driven by any kind of power, and there will be a special prize for the best electrically driven plough. A piece of heavy and a piece of light land will be assigned for tilling to each competitor.
