Palace of Christiansborg.

This palace which was lately destroy
ed by fire has been the official residence
of the Danish kings a century and a
half, though the present ruler has
never lived there, preferring the less
magnificent but cOsier palace of Anna
lienborg, In the fashionable end Of the
city. ChristiansbOrg is massive,
granite structure, with facade of lofty
pillars, devoid of all architectural Orna-
mentation. fianked on the east by the
curious old Bourse and on the West by
Thorwaldsen's Museum. The castle
was built in 1888 by the extravagant
Queen of Christian VI, as the result of
political trick Money was plentiful
at the Danish Court despite the waste
that characterized il, and the Swedes
across the sound became alarmed, his
tory has 1t, lest the Danes should re-
snme their old amusement IN idle hours
of making war on their neighbOrs. To
prevent it the Swedish Government
hastily decided to begin building opera
tions on a large scale at MalmOe, and
let the intelligence go forth that great
castle was to be built, the greatest in
lllC llOl III. SUIT lAltN lilC btaAlAoh
would Immediately set about erecting a
greater and SO spend the money that
should have gone to pay the armies.
The bait took promptly and Christians
borg was built at an expense, the chrOn-
iclers of those DAYS complain, of 427
barrels of gold. The castle in MalmOe
never got beyond the show of digging
the foundation, and war was averted.
Two Danish kings have been born in
the palace, and one died there. In 1894
it was burned down and the people re-
built it by voluntary contributions.
The year after, when half the town was
burned, the King let the homeless shell
ter under its roof. Half of the burned
out population easily crowded together
in the vast building and its OuthOuSes
till the work Of rebuilding could be got
underway. In ChristlaRsbOrg the late
King, Frederick VII, received the pop
ulace on his ascension to the throne III
1S4s, and promptly granted their de
mand for a constitutional Government.
In its great hall the constitutional con-
vention sat and worked out its problem
and there both the houses of the Relgs-
dag have since held their meetings.
The Supreme Court also met there.
The palace was used by the present
royal family only on public festivities.
In the upper stories was the national
picture gallery, a collection OF very
great value, rich especially in paintings
of the old masters of the Flemish school
of art and in the works of modern pain
ters. The pictures number fully :, 900

When the Baby Wakes.

Did you ever watch a baby waking
from his morning nap? 1t is one of the
prettiest sights in the world. There Is
the crib, with its small preparations,
and snOw-white drapery that covers
something outlined, round and plump.
There is nothing to reveal what it is,
not the slightest movement of the pill
lowed whitenesS that is viSlble-uo
sound to indicate keenest actual life,
until the hour-hand of the clock that
stands sentinel, like yourself, has twice
made its circuit. Then there Is slight
pulsing in the white drapery, small,
pink, tremulous hand, fair as rose
bud, is thrust out and from the nest
thus broken into appears round dim
inutive face, with wide open eyes that
have not much speculation in them
vet. Soon, however, they cease to
stare, and become questioning, serious,
as if wondering what kind of a world
they open upon; and the head lifts IT.
self Just a little, and two snow-white
feet start up spasmodicaliy, with a
simultaneous movement, each one of
which has an attendant dimple. But
the head is too heavy-it falls back on
the pillow with its own sweet weight,
the hair all damp and golden, the
cheeks peachy, the mouth pOuted, as If
angels kissed it in dreams. The first
lingering go-o-O comes from its rosy
depths, sweeter than any birds song,
for it has a spirit tone and yet retains a
thrill of its native skies.

knowledge warth Having.

The knowledge which we crave and
work for which we look for and find,
which We think ont or dig out for
ourselves, which We rejoice in as in a
newly-fOund treasure - that Is the
knowledge, be it small or great, that Is
worth having. 1t is like the food fol
which We hunger; it gives us fresh
power and fuller life. it matters far
less even what this knowledge is than
the way in which it was gained. The
most systematic and well-prepared
course of study worried through by a
student whole only care is that he may
get his diploma, is of far less value to
him or to the world than the vital
thought of the young mechanic, who,
anxious to master the secret of his
trade, patiently studies its details, dis
covers its principles, and infuses into
it his own fresh and living force, per-
haps in the fern of some new inven-
ton, or perhaps in a NOR skilful touch
or more delicate finish than it has yet
received.

An Arcsdian Village.

Within radius of twenty miles OF
the city of Detroit, ON the Canadian
side of the river, there nestles among
the trees 4 village that for Arcadian
simplicity and for perfect NeOpolitan
Incidence is perhaps unequalled on the
American continent. Situated on the
north shore of Lake Erie, and on rich
walnut and oak soil, nature has been an
equal factor, by her very productive
ness, with the indolent, almost sOmnO-
lent disposition of the inhabitants, IN
making them the -go-lucky class
of people they are. Kingsville appears
as if it were a part of some med!eval
English village of fifty years ago.
The villagers possess conservatism
almost phenomenal, and yet they long
ago banished the idea that any person
was stranger after sOjOurn Of half a
day there. So great is the feeling of
fraternity among them that the utmost
cordiallty prevails, and such thing as
theft or robbery by one Of themselves Is
thing unheard of, even by ''the oldest
inhabitant. Any day from early
spring, basking in the sun, and through
out the summer sitting in the shade of
the stores, may be seen a group of half a
dozen to twenty men, smoking and lis
tening to the latest story brought by the
Toronto drummer. or to some wonder
full hunting tale that happened IN the
long ago when deer were plentiful in
those parts and could be shot any day
before breakfast.
Woe betide the man who goes mar
ketlng" in hurry and expects to get
served at once. He is doomed To dis
appointment, He must wait till the
story Is finished, or go without the de-
sired articles. Another characteristic
of the people Is their almost phenomenal
love for the game Of marbles. The
soil is sandy and absorbs moisture very
rapidly. The ground is nearly always
in a good condition for marble playing,
and so fascinating appears the sport
that middle-aged men, and some even
older, can often be seen playing mar
bles in shady corner. Nor is the Gus
tom considered undIgnified because of
its cOmmonness. Some OF the younger
members of the community are experts
in the manly games of cricket, baseball
and football, bnt the greatest luxury
Of the majority Of the people IS to lay
on the grass and smoke and watch
others play.

Firtt Saw Mill.

The old practice of making boards was
TO split up the logs with wedges, and
inconyenient as the practice was, it was
no easy matter to persuade the world
that the thing could be done in better
way. Saw mills were first used in Eu-
rope in the fifteenth century, but so late
as 1866, an English ambassador, having
seen a saw mill in France thought it a
novelty which deserved particular de-
scription. 1t is amusing to note how
the aversion to labor-saving machinery
has alwas agitated England. The first
saw mill was established by Dutch
man, in 1868; but the public Outcry
against the new tangled machine was
90 violent that the proprietor was forced
to decamp with greater expedition than
ever did a Dutchman before. The evil
was thus kept out of England for seve-
raj years, or rather generations, but in
l76S an unlucky timber merchant,
hoping that after so long time the
public would be less watchful of its in
terests, made a rash attempt 10 con-
struct another mill. The guardians of
the public welfare, however, were On
the alert and a conscientious mob at
once collected and pulled the mill to
pieces.

Cold Water.

1ne most expensive thing and the
hardest thing to get in Europe is plain
water. AT the hotels even in Switzer-
land where the ice-crowned Alps are in
sight, they charge you for ice water to
drink. There is no water on the cars,
and at the stations they look at you in
amazement if YOU ask for it. To pro-
tect myself now carry bottle of water
strapped to my carpet bag.
One day in the Bon Marche in Paris
where they employ at least 200 clerks,
my wife, who was making purchases,
asked the clerk to be kind enough to
give her a glass of water.
"A whatl" he exclaimed, IN utter
amaZement.
"a glass of fwater-plain, wet water"
repeated the wife.
There isn't such a thing in the
store" said the clerk.
''But in this great store what do you
do when you get thirsty?" asked my
wife.
"Why, we wait till noon or night and
drink bottle of wine"
But if it is hard to get glass of
water in France, Switzerland or Ger
many to drink, how much harder is it
to get enough for bath. The idea of
water enough to bathe in all over sets
them wild. AT Dresden, the bOasted
art center of Europe, my wife wanted
"a hot bath. In America, when guest
wants hot bath, he rings for the
chambermaid, turns on the hot water,
takes it, and finds % cents charged for
1t in his bill. Well, | went down to
the Office and saw the clerk about it.

bath, and went off to see the pr0prie-

"Yes, all over, i'll hot water"

throwing up his hands.
"Yes, a hot water bath, " said; "tell
the girl to turn on the hot and the cold

"But there isn't any hot water"
SAID the landlord; we'll have to send a
commissioner ard have 1t brought

"Whatp' 1 said, in surprise; "send

"Yes," he said, handing the Commits
sioner a note. sit will be brought here
in an hour"
then went up to the room and
awaited results The hotel was in an
uproar. 1t was great event to take
bath in Dresden, and I've experienced
the same trouble and surprise in Berlin
and Cologne. After waiting an hour,
there was a great noise and clatter in
the hall. Pretty soon man and wife
came to the door. They were carrying
something that looked like coffin. 1t
proved to be a long, black, rusty bath
tub. They placed it in the middle of
the rom, Then they went down two
pair ef stairs TO wagon standing In
front Of the hotel and commenced bring
ing up hot water in large Tin buckets
This water had been heated at the
bath-house a half mile away. They
soon had the bath-tub full and my wife
took her bath. Then the thing was
carried down stairs to the wagon again.
When | paid my bill L was charged
three marks tseventy-five cents) for
this bath and thirty cents for the COM
missioner. You can never get a bath
in Europe for less than sixty cents. 1t
Is five cents for drink of ice water
even with youth dinner in a Paris res
taurant.
