A PRINCE IN THE AIR. « £ ROWN PRINCE AND MR. WRIGHT. The distinction of being the first Prince •I'Wid future monarch to take a trip in an aero- plane belongs to the Crown Prince of Ger- itnany, who on Saturday was a passenger Mr. Orville Wright. The machine rose amid the cheers of the riSro-wd,- keeping at first about 18 feet from the ground. At the urgent request of the .Crosvn Prince, however, Mr. Wright rose to (•tif feet, and flew for eight minutes, the 'Prince acknowledging the cheers by waving his hand. Then the aeroplane glided back to 0ts starting place. The Crown Prince warmly rthankcd Mr. Wright, congratulating him on -the easy motion of his aeroplane, and pre- sented him with a souvenir of the occasion- flilliioiid and ruby pin. The same afternoon Mr. Wright macl-e a -•world's height record of over 1,000 feet. Mr. 'Orville Wright estimates that he ascended to :) height of 1,630ft. It took him 15 minutes •to ascend and only five minutes to descend. ] JH> says: Downward the sneed was simply tterrifying. The whole machine shook as I ^rushed through the air."

-_ø_ .4. --Of BUDGET BULL'S-EYES. (FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) Th3 Budget Bill has now p rosed through Committee, and tho first stage of the gret struggle is over. Some days will intervene before the Report stage, and the bill will be published in what may now be taken to be—allowing for certain changes on Report —almost its final shape. This will give the country an opportunity of surveying the proposals of the Government in their com- plete form. Looking back on the debates, one cannot help being struck by the extraordinary con- trast between the two lines of criticism brought to bear on the Government. One has been — "What tyranny! What ob- stinacy!" According to that theory, the Government have been deaf to reason, and have granted nothing. The other has been What changeableness What fickle- ness!" According to that theory, the Gov- ernment have never known their own minds from day to day. They have always been changing. Now, one of these theories may be right; but they cannot both be right. « # The result of this contradictoriness in the Opposition attitude is that the critics of the Budget seem rather divided in their claims. There are two outstanding. One is the claim to martyrdom. See what a fight we have fought against a stubborn and un- yielding Government! See how we have been treated The other is the claim to victory. See how successful we have been.! Look at all the concessions! They are all our prizes of war!" There, again, the opponents of the Bud- get must choosy. For it is clear that they cannot have it both ways. The real facts of the situation lie some- where in between these two extremes. The .Government has been both firm and reason- able—firm on principles and reasonable on details. They have stood to their guns, for instance, on. the main features of land taxes; but they have granted a large num- ber of concessions, especially to the small men. |, Now that the bill is through Committee, we can see what these concessions amount to. Taken altogether, they extend to the new taxes the abatements already granted to payers of Income-Tax. The general prin- ciple4s that there should be a level of pro- perty below which the tax does not fall, T1 e taxes are not meant to fall on mere sub- sistence, but on large and substantial values. For that reason agriculture, being notori- ously depressed, and not having recovered from the prolonged period of difficulty, is exempted from the bill. And with it all agricultural values appertaining to unde- veloped land. In addition to that, all small freeholders of any kind, whether of urban or rural land, are also exempted. The limit is placed at fifty acres of rural land, and for urban properties the freehold limit is placed at -240 in London, £ 26 in towns of population up to 50,000, and £16 else- where. Similarly, all small increments and short leaseholds are exempted, including incre- ments up to 10 per cent. and leaseholds up to twenty-one years. Similarly, all land devoted to large pub- i lie purposes is free of the taxes. That free- j dom will be extended to land, held by chari- table institutions or friendly societies, and' to land in the actual occupation of schools and colleges. « Doctors, for iJlsta, am public institu- tions for the healing of the siek and the re- lief of suffering. So doctors will pay only j half the usual licence-duty on their motor- cars. Extending the same principle 'to the other taxes, there is to be no increase in death duties on small estates up to £ 5,000, and practically no increase of licence-duty 0:] the small village public-house. Up to B20 annual value the increase of duty will be little more than 10s. a-year. While considerate to the small man, the Budget is also very tender to the public. The public well-being is exempted at every turn. No tax falls on public parks, re- creation grounds, and playing fields. Private grounds can also obtain exemption as a reward for giving access to the public. There is the same tenderness all through to genuine industry and real commerce. Motor-cars used for commercial purposes, for instance, are relieved of the tax on motor-spirit. There is an extension of the relief to earned incomes, which will pay on Income-Tax only 9d. for incomes below £ 2,000, and Is. 0d. between £ 2,000 and £ 3,000. There is a special provision of ex- emption for land actually in the process of development, so that the Land Tax will only fall on land which is really held up from the market to the obvious detriment of society. That land certainly ought to pay, and it is the object of the Budget that it should pay something towards the common good. A d. in the £ is surely not too much. Finally, the Budget is kind to children, who will be able to know, as they grow to years of knowledge, that they come as a boon and a blessing to their parents. For each of them carries to every small man a "ten-pound note" of exemption from assessment on Income-Tax. By the accidental discharge of an old gun, which her husband is said to have been clean- ing, Mrs. Jones, of Stapleton-road, Bristol, was lulled. Thousands, of persons attepc)ed :th.funeral at Fleetwood of David Leadbetter, for 25 years a lifeboat man, who had assisted in. saving 104 lives.

b. FUN AND FANCY. ol Reporter: "So that absconding cashier got away by sacrificing his beard, did he?" Detective: "Yes; I missed him by a close shave." Friend: "You took your son into your establishment some months ago to teacli him the business, I understand. How did it turn out?" Business Man (wearily): "Great suc- cess. He's teaching me now." Friend: "Hallo, Pat! I scarcely knew you with your whiskers off." Pat: "The same wid me, me bhoy. I didn't know meseif when I looked into the glass, except by me voice." Confidential Clerk: "Your wife is in the 'outer office, sir, and would like to speak with you a moment." Employer: "Yes. Ah-er- Jenkins, just see what my balance is at the bank, will you? "Is the baby strong?" "Well, rather. You -iiow what a tremendous voice he has?" "Yes." "Well, he lifts that five or six times an hour." Suett, the famous actor, was one day alighting from a coach after a long journey in the pouring rain, when a friend who had come to meet him asked, "Are you Suett?" The immediate answer was, "No, I'm drip- ping Mamma: "What is that bock you are read- ing, Willie?" Little Willie: "It's a book called Cl-iild Training' that I borrowed." Mamma: "Do you find it amusing?" Little Willie: "Oh, no; I merely wanted to see if I had been brought up properly t" "Is your husband up yet?" asked an early morning caller. "Yes, I believe he is," replied the stern-looking wife. "I'd nne to say a few words to him," said the visitor. "I'd like to say more than a few. He hasn't come home yet!" "Did your husband have any luck on his shooting trip?" asked the friend of the family. "Yes, indeed," replied the knowing lady. "He managed to get home without shooting himself or anybody else." "Don't you know, my boy," said the clergyman, gravely, "that you should not play football on Sunday?" "That's all rigiit, sir," was the cheery response. "We ain't playing; we're only practising for to- morrow's game." "You are positively the most conceited man I ever met!" said a young lady to her brother. "I conceited! exclaimed the youth. "Why, there's not an atom of conceit in my body Another man with half my ability would be unbearably proud!" Among the witty impromptus of the late Justice Mathew this holds prominent place. It is related that a certain counsel, after addressing the court for two hours and a half, said, "And the next point, my lord "The next point, Mr. inter- rupted his lordship, rising for lunch, "we will take at a quarter after two!" When the register was being signed the yicar asked the bridegroom: Have you had any hail this morning?" The man blushed and hesitated, but at length replied, "Weil, sir, I did just have a glass afore I started." Old Gumleigh (to conductor, who has just given him a ticket): "Young man, I laid the first foundation of my fortune by saving tram fares. I-" Conductor: "Ah, sir, that may be so; but you must remember that a conductor couldn't do that sort of thing nowadays with these bell-punches and the check system." The Actress: Dear me I have lost the handbag containing all my diamonds. What shall I do?" Her Manager: "Oh, don't make a fuss about a little thing like that." The Actress: But the handbag also con- tained a sovereign." Her Manager: "Great Scot! I'll telephone ior a detective at once." "Did I hear somebody in this crowd say I was a liar?" blustered the village bully, approaching a group of men he thought he knew. "Where's the guilty party?" "Maybe it was me," quietly rejoined a husky stranger, who measured fully 6ft. and looked to be stronger than an ox, as he pulled off his coat and proceeded to roll up his sleeves. "Oh, that's all right," continued the bully, as he hurriedly backed away. "Keep your clothes on; I didn't say I wasn't." "I never saw anything like this tide!" said he. "Here I've been pulling steadily for ten minutes, and we don't seem to have moved a foot." "Oh, Mr. Stroker," said she., after a pause, "I've just thought of some- thing. The anchor fell overboard a little while ago, and I forgot to tell you Do you suppose it could have caught on something?" A lady was applied to for charity by a well- dressed woman. "Are you married? was the question. "Yes." "What is your hus- band? "Out-o'-work." "But what is he when he is in work?" asked the lady. "You don't undier stand, miss," was the reply. "He's a regular out-o'-worker." A negro was under suspicion for chicken stealing. He was called before the pastor and deacons of his chapel, and evidence was given as to character. Tbe parson inquired of one of the witnesses "Now, do you think that Brother Sambo is the man who would be likely to steal chickens? "We41," sa-id the witness, "I would not like to say that, pastor, but if I was a chicken and! Brother Sambo was about I should roost high!" A gentleman, the son of a well-known M.P., was riding recently Dellr Edinburgh, when he overlook all ag-icultural labourer driving an empty ,c:.lt. Thinking the oppor- tunity favourable for sciieiung the man's views on political matters, lie asked him several questions, but found little encourage- ment. "Do you go in fbr polities about here?" he at last asked in despair. "No," said the man; "A'm gaun for gas-pipes." Mistress (angrily): "How dare you talk back to me in that way? I never saw such impudence. You. have a lot of nerve to call yourself a lady's maid." New Maid: "11 don't call myself that now, ma'am; but I was a lady's maid before I got this job." r

"o:I -¡ HO'ME HINTS. Finely powdered bath-bt moistened with vinegar, makes a lasting polish on cop- per utensils. To entirely remove corrai irush me corns with a tiny brush dipped in turpentine. Be careful not to touch the surrounding skin. When cooking or baking, especially with a. gas-stove, if a large oven-cloth is wrung out of warm water, and suspended above the oven, it will absorb all the greasy steam, and entirely prevent any disagreeable odour. Also, the kitchen walls and ceiling will last clean much longer. An egg that has been too lightly boiled may be put into the saucepan again even after the top has been taken off, if an ordi- nary pin be dropped into it in a conspicuous place, when it will be found that none of the egg has been lost. Care should be taken to remove the pin. When a knife-board is employed in lieu of any of the patent machines which represent so much saving of labour, it should always be warmed before the f re before it is used. This has the effect of considerably hastening the operation of polishing the knl.<19. TRUE MANLINESS. Teach your boy to be true to his word and work; to face all difficulties with courage and cheerfulness; to form no friendships that can bring him into degrading associations; to respect other people's convictions; to reverence womanhood; to live a clean life in thought and word as well as in deed; that true manliness always commands 6uceess; that the best things in life are not those that can be bought with money; that to command he must first learn to obey; that there can be no compromise between honesty and dis- honesty. CLEANING WATER-BOTTLES. Water-bottles, decanters, etc., if not cleaned out frequently are very difficult to keep nice. You will find that a raw potato, cut into small pieces and put into the vessel with equal parts of vinegar and water, and shaken about for a few minutes, will cleanse the glass better than anything else. Especi- ally is this treatment valuable where hard ( water has been kept in gla«s jugs, as it re- moves every trace of the brown deposit which is one of the dis tinguishing properties in hard water. ECONOMICAL. In sending A dress to be dyed or cleaned, oversew the rough edges of the material, and it will not draw or strain. A rusty black felt hat may have its colour restored by sponging it well with cold tea, which has been strongly infused. A pretty screen for an empty grate is made by a bright Japanese fan of the largest size, costing between sixpence and a shilling. Blacking bottles, Aspin ailed or painted with bronze paint, make artistic- looking jars for holding pampas-grass, pea- cocks feathers, etc. PERFECT CONFIDENCE IMPORTANT. When a mother and daughter stand on proper terms with each other there is a firm friendship underlying the natural love. The mother, with the memory of her own girlhood days in her mind, is not too severe on the mistakes that the young daughter is sure to make. And the daughter, sure of a ready sympathy and comprehension, is not afraid to confide in her mother. The same rule ap- plies with father and son. Perfect confidence between father and son is quite as important as it is between mother and daughter, and the experience of the parents can often save the young people from many mistakes.
