President of the I'nited Slates,
and lln> secretary of commerce

No less than 770 delegates at

Among the smaller delegations
China appeared with 12. Hardly
a nation on tli«i wide earth,
whose commerce with sister na
tions was of material value, fail
ed to appear, and loo lake part
in the discussions. ■
It was a wonderful gathering
—and the harmonious meeting of
rivals in trndc, and the univer
sal effort for adjustment of vary
ing practices and rules and reg
ulations was the keynote of their
liberations.
The special subject on I be lirsl
day was llie promotion of an in
ternational court of justice for
suits between individuals and
foreign stales. This brougbl up
(be establishment of an inler

THE PRINCE AT OXFORD.
Kill# fJeorge, of England has
done many sensible tilings—none
more sensible than Iho sending
of the Prince of Wales to Ox
ford. with no special privileges,
no favors, no exceptions to the
common rule of university life.
The young prince has taken
up his residence in Magdalen col
lege, in such rooms as would
fall to the lot. of any undcrgrad
uate. Two sitting rooms, a bed
room and a bath room make up
the suite. His tutor, Mr. Hon
sell has a like set on the same
old staircase.

night. If he comes in after that
hour he must knock for adniis.*
sioi\ and pay his fine. He dines
every evening "in hall," not as
a distinguished guest at the high
table, but on the benches with
his fellow students, lie will mix
with them freely in the junior
common room, lie is known to
he fond of cricket ami will be
often seen on the college ground,
one of the most beautiful fields
in the world «»f smooth clipped
turf.
His studies are to he in the
uiiidern school, where history,
Knglish literature, and modern
languages are prominent, lie will
attend the usual college lectures,
alid very likely some of the new
iuler-college lectures, where
some professor of special repute
meels I he shideuls fi;oni four or
live colleges.

president of Magdalen now is IJr.

sily professor of poetry ami is j
one of the most eminent of the
Jialliol men when Jowett Hour- j
islicil. Two years of such Irain
iiiK will leave on Ihe young prince |
an imlellihle hallmark.
This whole episode in Ihe ed
ucalaiou of Ihe heir-apparent to
the British throne is an entire
ly new departure. 'Heretofore the
efforts of their parents and of
their teachers and governors has
heen to keep llicm in cotton wool,
wrapped from Ihe free air of
heaven. This young man is
learning day by day thai he is
made of common human clay, like
the rest of us—lo lake the knocks
that come to him in commerce
\vith his kind—lo learn from men
as well as from books, to share
in Ihe plays and pastimes of a
healthy English lad. King f.eorge
is starling to make a. real man
iif his young son.
The lnc«nse Industry.
Frankincense is a varie«> «.r
gum that frequently foM s <1
component of inocese. but the
term is met with in commerce,

The incense-Ire • seldom «»I -
tains a height excye ling 15 feet,

sightly growth an i thrives in
desert regions. Dealers grade
incense according to color-,
bright yolloV, medium and dark
yellow. The'chief market for it
seems to be Aden, whence it is
taken by Somalis during the win
ter months. . }
Middle Names.
In England middle names were
once illegal. English staules of
other days were most definite as
to 11h> naming of children, as
will he seen from Coke, who
states that " a man cannot have
two names of baptism." "It is
requisite," slates the old English
law, "that the person be named
bV the name of his baptism and
his surname and that special

bapt ism."
Persons of royal extraction in
England have always been allow
ed to possess more than one giv
en name, but, it is said, so late
as the year 1000 there were but
four persons in all the kingdom
who possessed two given names.
Even one hundred and tifly years
ago double nan es were very nil.
