The Queen of Italy.

The Queen of Italy, was recently driv-
ing to the royal wood of Licalo, when the
coachman mistook the lead, and one OF
the gentlemen asked a acountryman the way.
The man, seeing the fine carriage and
horses, thought he was being fooled. ''As
if you did not know :" he said, with big
grin. The Queen laughed, and assured
him they were lost. Then only did the
countryman condescend TO point out the
way, after which he walked off, as if fear
ing to be laughed at again.
''GIve him twenty francs for his trouble, y
said the Queen to one of her escort, who
going after the countryman said to him {:
Here, my man, is little present from
the Queen of Italy, who thanks you"
''The Queen!' cried the countryman,
returning to the carriage. ''Forgive me
that did not know thee. But had never
seen thee before. Thou art as beautiful as
a May rose. God bless thee" And the
carriage drove off.
Now the countrymap, who had once
seen the Queen, wanted to see her pretty
face again, and the following day he pre-
sented himself at the palace.
81 know her, you know" he added mys-
teriously. 81 spoke to her yesterday. and
want to speak to her again"
Thinking he had to do with madman,
the porter was about to have the poor fel-
low arrested, when the very gentleman
who had given him the twenty francs ap-
peared and, recognizing the man, told him
to wait. He informed the Queen of his
presence. ''Bring him here, by all means, !"
was the answer.
When the man was, for the second time,
before the Queen, he said: ''Yes, tits
thou. thought had seen fairy. Thou
art just an angel. | did not tell thee yes
terdsy that have two little ones without
a mother. Wilt thou be their mother 2"
''That will" said the Queen.
Then there's the twenty francs thou
gavest me yesterday. thank thee, but |
want no meney.' And he went away,
crying and smiling like child.
The Queen has adopted the two little
ones, and they are in an institution, under
her special patronage.

The Nightingale.

One of the most celebrated of song-birds
is the nightingale, or night singer. 1t Is a
migratory bird. Do you know what this
isl 1t is a bird that visits its northern
home early IN the spring, and quits it for
the south early in the autumn. 1t mlgrates.
This famous bird is common in nearly
all parts of Europe. 1t haunts woods,
thIckets, and gardens. 1t migrates into
Egypt and Syria 1t has been seen among
the willows of Jordan and the olive trees
of Judea. In 10 part of Europe isit more
common than in Spain or Italy; but even
in these southern regions the bird is mi
gratory.
The nightingale is shy in its habits. Its
nest is placed low, and hidden from view.
Its eggs, five In number, are of an olive
brown. Its food consists of insects. In
color it is brown, with u reddish tinge on
the back and tail.
AS songster, the bird is unsurpassed.
Though its notes are heard at intervals
during the day, they are poured forth in
their greatest perfection on quiet evenings,
an hour or two after sunset; and when the
moon is nearly full, and the weather is Sc
rene, the melodious song of the nightingale
may be heard at midnight.
The late Bishop Stanley, of England,
gives an account of one that he raised from
the nest. 1t was kept in a cage two years;
then the cage was hung open at the door,
and the bird was allowed to go out.
| At first it returned regularly every even
| ing. As the season advanced, it sometimes
stayed out all night In the garden; but il

A vikings War ship.

An interesting discovery has been made
al Sandeherred in Norway, of Seandina-
Wan war vessel. Buried under a hillock.
sailing vessel was found, which is thought
to belong to those terrible highwaymen of
the ocean, the Vikings, OF Norwegian
pirates. 1t measures about seventy five
feet in length, and is an almost perfect
state of preservation. 1t was armed and
equipped as though it had been abandoned
where found when on the point of sailing
on some adventurous expedition. All the
apparatus used by nautical Norsemen are
met with in this ancient craft, the most of
which is still pretty well intact. There
are fragments of sails and cordage remain
ing, as well as many specimens either per-
feet or incomplete, of utensils and instru-
ments, which have been eagerly ex-
amined by authorities. Among other things
are number OF pieces Of oak
wood, peculiarly shaped, followed out in
the centre TO admit of ropes being passed
through them. Spades and shields, or
bucklers, have also been found, or rather
the iron portion of the bucklers, for the
wooden part is entirely gone. Near the
rudder the skeletons of three horses were
discovered. The form of the shields, and
also the manner in which they are sus-
pended round the interior of the ship, is
absolutely the same as one sees represented
on the beautiful tapestry of Bayeux, In
Normandy which date back to the eleventh
century

Remarkable Case OF "Graftin.. -

Lucy Osborn, who had her scalp torn
from her head by getting her hair caught
in revolving shaft in button factory at
New Milford, six years ago, is still an inmate
of st. Luke's Hospital in New York. Dur
ing the past six years the doctors have been
grating on new scalp by slow process,
and the operation as a whole has been sue
cessful. The material for building the
scalp has beer furnished by hundreds of
volunteers, and OUer fourteen thousand
different pieces have entered into its
construction. In the accident in which
she was injured the scalp was taken clean
off, the skin being peeled from the bone,
and taking with it piece of the integu-
ment of the right ear. The process of in
ducing the scalp to grow is a slow and
tedious one, and out of three hundred and
fifty gratis which had been planted up to
May 1, 1875, but forty had taken. In 1877,
grating ceased for a time, and the head
was strapped with adhesive plaster to draw
together the newly formed skin, which ap-
peared In patches over her head. The pa
tient was discharged as improved July l,
1876, but returned in the following Sep
tember. She then had two uncovered
spots on the head, the larger four and one
half inches long. More grating was done.
nearly covering these spots, and the patient
went home. September she returned with
two ulcers on the back of her head, and is
again undergoing the grating treatment.

Material Cantankerosity.

Two eminent men of one of the Cam
bridge colleges were one day taking walk
in their delicious grove. They had an ar
gument, in which one of the men could
not do justice to any view that confiicted
with his own Il tell you what it is, my
friend" at last said his opponent, ''the
fact is that you have got twist in your
mind" The man of twisted mind has
since become very famous, but many Of
his friends consider that the twist is very
palpable. 1t was a favo-ite saying Of
Lessing, the philosopher, which his biogra-
piers call upon us to admire exceedingly,
that if the truth were offered him on the
one hand and the search after truth on the
other hand, he would prefer to search.
Now here is a case of ''the twist" l hum
bly, think that this is case of mental can
tankeroslty. If truth were worth the
searching for, it might be supposed that it
would be worth the having. All those
who have followed the .Socratic dialogues
of search know the great and peculiar
charm of this method of investigation.
Still, truth Is the first thing necessary, and
the second thing necessary, and the third
thing necessary; and the man who could
have talked this way must have been can
.ankerous, at least to the extent of not
caring for the truth, an opinion which
seems to gain ground the more one under
stands Lessing.

They Spit on the Spider"

1t was in smoking-car on the hudso,
River Road. A New Yorker was exhi

when an old farmer with settled look oi

said:

He paused here to wipe away tear,
and then continued:

1900, 900 creased rags were in use in this
country five months in the year. $4,000
barrels of grease were used up greasing

six greasers; 1000 bushels would make
enough to supply the country. all that
was needed was TO cut them out in fancy

the demand at ten cents each"
''There was money in it"
= "No. there wasn't. 1 bought hundred
bushels of turnips- $50 worth of wire, and
hired two men to go TO work, and then

to see how it would take. They wouldn't

A Terrible Country.

The Valley of Death, spot almost as
terrible as the prophets valley of dry bones,
lies Just north of the old Mormon road to
Callfornia-a region thirty miles long by
thirty broad, and surrounded, except at
two points, by inaccessible mountains. 1t
is totally devoid of water and vegetation,
and the shadow of bird or wild beast never
darkens its white, glaring sands. The
Kansas Pacific Railroad engineers discover
ed it, and also some papers which show the
fate of the last Montgomery train,' which
went South from salt Lake IN 1850,
guided by Mormon. When near Deaths
Valley, some came 10 the conclusion that
the MormOns knew nothing about the coun-
try, so they appointed one of their number
a |. ader, and broke off from their party.
The leader turned due West; 50 with the
people and wagons and tiocks he travelled
three days, and then descended into the
broad valley, whose treacherous mirage
promised water. They reached the centre
but only the white sand, bounded by
scorching peaks, met their gaze. And
around the valley they wandered, and one
by one the men died, and the painting fiocks
stretched themselves in death under the
sun. Then the children, crying for water,
died at their mothers breasts, and with
swollen tongues and burning vitals, the
mothers followed. Wagon afLer wagon was
abandoned, and strong men tottered and
raved and died. After a weeks wander
ing, dozen survivors found some water in
the hollow of mountain. 1t lasted but a
short time, when all perished but two, who
escaped out of the valley and followed the
frail of their former companions. Eighty
seven families, with hundreds OF animals,
perished here, and now, after tnirty-one
years, the wagons stand still complete, the
iron work and tire are bright, and the
shriveled skeletons lie side by side

The Rotchscnilds.

The Rothschilds have been attracting no
little attention to themselves here In Paris
by the announcement of the extension O.
the act of partnership, which expired Septem
Der, so, 1880, to 1905. The Paris branch of
the famous family is quite large. The
Dowager Baroness Rothschild, who lives
in he family mansion in the Rue Laffitte,
had five children-Baroness Alphonso, who
is at this date the head of the family:
Baron Solomon, who died a long time ago;
Baron Gustave, Baron Edmond and the
Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild. The ven-
erable dowager is veritable fountain of
charity. She gives away hundreds OF
thousands of francs every year. In sum-
mer she lives in q splendid country house at
BJulogne where apartments for each OF
her sons and daughters are kept constantly
in order. Baron and Baroness Alphonso
Rothschsld live in the old mansion in the
Rue Saint Floreutine, where Talleyrand
once resided. They are gay and extremely
fond of society, and are seen everywhere
in the monde; the Baroness is one Of the
most accomplished equestriennes who fire.

His widow has daughter who will, 1t Is
ssid, be the richest heiress in the Paris
family. Baron Gustave is the only one
who has married outside the family. One
of the sons of the late Nathaniel Rothschild
