DURING the last fifty years all the
newly created thrones in Europe, or
those in which the male hereditary
succession had from any cause lapsed,
have been filled by princes of German
dynasties. A prince of the House of
Saxe-Coburg was elected ruler of the
newly formed kingdom of Belgium,
shortly after he had refused the title of
King of Hellenes, which had been
offered him. Princes of the same house
married the Queen of Portugal, Maria
II da Gloria, in the year 1886, and
Victoria, Queen of England, in the
year 1910; and their sons have become
heirs to the thrones of those States.
All attempts to fill the thrones of Spain
and Roumania with rulers not proceed
ing from German dynasties have proved
a failure. Both King Amadeus 1t of
Savoy, and Prince Couza, born Rou-
manian, were, after brief period of
rule, compelled to leave the coun-
tries of which they had become the
sovereigns The throne of Greece was
first occupied by Prince of the Bava-
rian dynasty, Ohio L: and after his de-
thronement, by George I, Prince
of the Sleswick- Holstein-S n-Sonderburg-
Glucksburg line. The present ruler Of
Roumania is a Prince of the House Of
Observation-Disclosures, and the new
Prince of Bulgaria is also of German
origin. Fifty years ago the privilege
of filling vacant or newly-ereated
thrones belonged almost exclusively to
France and Austria; several thrones in
Italy were held by Bourbons and Haps-
burgs only twenty years ago.

A Thrilling Adventure.

We find the following account of a
thrilling adventure in the Oakland
Radiator: "The Noble Grand Humbug
of the Sazeracs burst into this Office
this morning, his face covered with q
deadly pallor. and his limbs shak-
ing in every joint. Something terrible
has happened: Sst gsEks .
Gimme four fingers bird loadl "
he Pasped, between chattering teeth.
The jug was handed out of the cup
board, and its contents administered in
broken doses. Fe was soon sufficiently
soothed to tell the following terrible
tale:
? @Well, you know" he said, that there
has long been talk of heavy deposits of
gold in Milpitas. The other day two
prospectors from the Black Hills were
wandering with their picks and pans
around the suburbs of that classic city,
when they discovered cavern of mar
velms appearance. They took no heed
of the surroundings in their thirst for
gold, but boldly entered, and their eyes
we're greeted with scene that beggars
description. A borrid smell pervaded
the caverrous recesses, and they found
hinge howlders and snags of a substance
resembling quartz. After removing the
rubbish their picks struck in, vast pock-
cts of solid gold, and they soon sue
,eeded in filling their sacks with all
hey could carry. just as they were
preparing to leave" here the eyes of the
Noble Grand rolled wildly, rendering
three more fingers necessary, "there was
d violent upheaval. The ground under
their feet was thrown into terrible con-
yulsions and rose nearly to the roof of
the cavern. Then it opened again, and
the bold prospectors found themselves
flying through the air at the rate of
$4,000 feet second. They landed in a
marsh five miles from the mouth of the
cave. comparatively uninjured.
WAS it a volcanic eruption?" inno-
Gently inquired the youngest reporter.
"Volcano!" shouted the Noble Grand
scornfully. "Why, you burned fool,
they had crawled into the mouth of q
Milpitas girl while she was asleep and
were digging away at the plugs in her
teeth, when she sneezed them outl"

quette-circle the other night, and, when
she wasn't flirting with the gentlemen
whose faces she could see, che was dis
cussing the people on, the stage. She
was beautiful blonde, with dark-brown
eyes, and her face attracted much at
tention. A fair, white skin; rosy, dim
pied cheeks, lips like the cherries that
grow nearest the sun, ii the top of the
tree; pearly teeth, the regular rows of
which showed themselves whenever she
chose to let her musical laugh be
heard (Which was often) and pretty
shaped head, crowned with wealth of
golden hair and the cunningest of hats
She talked aloud, and even made up
faces at the gentlemen who stared at
her. Ordinarily such a character, even
though female beauty, would have
been unpleasant at the theater, but
somehow everybody seemed pleased
with the lady. If T. Ga glass did not
deceive him, she was about 4 years
old. The only portion Of the play she
seemed to understand and appreciate
was love making scene.
When the laughter that followed the
exit of the lovers in the play had SUBJ
sided, the little one turned to a young
lady and said in perfectly-audible
voice:
@Della, ats dess e way Cousin Deorge
tissed 90 e uver day"
The star was much disconnected to
hear roar of laughter from a portion
of the audience just as she made her
tragic entrance on the next scene; but
the tribulation was Insignificant by COM
parison with that of q certain couple,
who will henceforth leave the alittle
firt" at home when they gostr HIe play.

Simedee.

Mr.. Christian X. Ross 6se father of
the lost Charley, received not long
since an offer from an intelligent and
apparently honest old Pennsylvania
farmer to find his lost boy for him by
means of simedee, which he declared is
a mysterious power to see past and
future events in bottle, which the in
terlocutor must hold over running
water, while the seer stands on the other
side. The power, he said, is possessed
only by persons born i'll the season of
advent.
Mr.. Ross states that scarcely week
passes in which he does not receive
similar superstitious offers, made ap-
parently in good faith, from persons
claiming to possess supernatural power.
We are apt to speak of superstition
as belonging to "old times" but the
truth is that it assumes more frequent
and varied forms among Americans than
any of us would like TO acknowledge
In the farming districts of the Middle
and Southern States there is supposed
by many people to be supernatural
cure for almost every disease. The more
ludicrous they are, the more positiveis
the faith of the ignorant in them.

DOcfOrSs Fees.

The Prussian Minister of Public In
struction has laid plan before the So
ciety of Medicine, according to which
the regulation of doctors fees is to be
done away with. There is to be tariff
by which Judge can decide when ap-
plications are made in court; but in
general doctors are to demand what
they like. The tariff in question is two
marks, or 80 cents, for first visit, and
one mark for every successive visit.
When consultations are held, every
doctor is to get five marks for the first
time, and three marks for the succeed
ing. In the physicians house 37i cents
is the charge for the first consultation.
and 18 cents for every succeeding one.
