The Prospect Before Him Not an En-

On the 18th of May last. baby was
.,orn in Madrid whose birth was an
nounced to the people of that city by
the firing of cannon. This child was
the little King of Spain. and his birth
rejoiced the loyal subjects of his late
father. In few hours the whole civ
ilized world knew that a son had been
given to the widow of Alfonso Kill,
and that this boy is the newborn King
of SPAN.
This little baby, so helpless and in
nocent, has already caused great eN-
citement in the country over which he
is expected to rule. The first thing
was to procure nurse, or nurses
rather, for him. Women came from
all parts of Spain to offer themselves
for this position. Two were selected
for the young King. each of the others
receiving = present of two hundred
dollars as an indemnity for her loss of
time and trouble in coming to Madrid.
Among the refused candidates was the
wife of rich merchant, who did not
care for the good salary which is given
to the nurse. but was very DESTROYS of
the honor of being nurse to the King.
This baby, born in the magnificent
palace of Charles ", one of the finest
palaces in the world.-has. besides the

side world, but they form only the
smallest part OF its female population.
As far az wit, beauty and culture are
concerned the working-women of
Washington are equal to those who
pose as leaders of Washington society.
The Government clerks, for instance,
come as rule from good families, and
form the best society of the towns or
cities from whence they come. They
are often the daughters of old families,
now reduced in wealth. but high in
education and social culture; they are
often, in fact ladies to the manner
born. whereas your Congressman's
wife gets her social standing through
her husbands position, and her career
has often been that of Hannah Jane"
without the nobility of Hannah
James" nature. Still there are many
bright women in Washington society,
and there are many women of cosmo-
politan tastes and culture. 1t is curl
Gus society in that the old woman fig
ures in it as much as the young one,
and that the mother is courted and
adorcd while the daughter often stands
in the background. Life in Washing
ton, whether in work or in pleasure,
has a tendency to broaden the woman
more than that of other cities. The
people met are so various in their tastes
and localities that the general topics
rather than personal gossip has to form
a large part of the general conversa-
ton. The fate of friends and of the
women themselves depends SO much
upon the political situation, upon the
bearing OF public questions. and the
character of prominent men that these
largely take the place of talk about the
neighbors and the troubles of house.
keeping. There is stimulant for
reading. and the meeting of so many
strangers is an education in itself. The
result is that the average Washington
woman has all her faculties sharpened
and her nature broadened by her life.
She is the best product of the advanced
American civilization of to-day

to me to see them flying in flocks. oft

parrots flying about the white marble
minarets of the glorious Taj-Mehal,
or darling about, frolicking in the ex-
piring rays. TO me they were the
most lovely of lndia's birds. One
scene connected with parrots is, from
its perfect beauty often present in my
mind. At a certain residency, one
of the finest in Northern India, there
is fountain constantly playing, and
in the early morning the parrots gather
together in vast mum bers to drink and
batne in its running waters and basin.
To see their graceful curves and up
ward flights before dashing through
and just skimming the surface of the
water, with their unbounded Joy and
delight in so doing, was a picture Of
ecstatic, ideal, living happiness diff

residency are almost tame, for every

FEMININE WASHINGTON.
Women Who Make . Comfortable Living
by Renting Furnished Rooms.

by Renting Furnished Rooms.
The boarding house women of Wash
ington are numbered by thousands.
There are two classes of these. The
first merely rent rooms, and the second
give board as well. 1t is a great bssi-
ness here at Washington to take large
houses, paying from S75 to $500 q
month for them, and then to sublet the
rooms to single gentlemen or to fami-
lies, as the case may be. They receive.
as a rule. as much for their ground
floor rooms as they pay for the whole
house, and there have been instances in
which women have made themselves
independent by room-renting. One
hundred dollars and more Is not an un-
common sum here for couple of fur
nished rooms in a good location, and
$50 and S75 are often gotten for two
rooms on the second hoor. A good
third floor front room will bring $25.
and a house that rents for 500 a
month, nniurnished. will often bring in
$500 or $25U, if furnished and subict,
besides giving room for the landlady.
A number of landladies make money
keeping boarding houses, and the one
who entertained w. d. Howells during
his last sojourn In Washington has been
able to buy the house in which she
lives. which is worth about $40, 900,
and is now starting new hotel near
the treasury. OF course her success is
phenomenal. but there are numerous
others who are doing well in smallea

THE CHILDREN's PLAN.
Sad Failure of an Attempt to Fly with
Borrowed Feathers.

Borrowed Feathers.
It was bright, warm day. Mike
was threshing in the barn, while the
sunshine streaming in at the open door
turned the grain dust to gold. Out
side, in the yard. were the children and
the chickens-the former idle enough
and the latter running here and there
and scratching vigorously as if their
lives depended upon their own exer-
lions. Presently Winnie picked up the
dish in which she had brought the corn
and went back to the house, but the
younger children fingered, declaring
that the pleasant autumn day was just
like summer. From watching the
chickens they began watching the
doves on the roof of the barn.
I'D rather be bird than chick

I'D like to be bird said Nell,
ireamily. Then I'd fly away up in
the sky. Ib'lieve l could most fly to
Heaven, any way. I'd go way off

"Why can't we fly?" asked George,
wonderingly. Il never thought about
that"
"'Cause we don't have any fezzers,

his post of observation by the barn
door. 81 -

now" declared Teddie, jumping down
from the steps and beginning to pick
up some of the feathers scattered
about the yard, ''then I'll fly way of. "
That was brilliant idea! The little
girls opened their eyes in wonder for
minute, and then they followed Ted
, dies example, and three pairs of little
hands worked busily. They stuck
feathers in their belts, feathers in their
hats, feathers in their shoes, and then
with a great bunch in each hand they
= climbed to the top of the chicken
house ''to get good start as George
SAID.
IL don't know how" admitted
Teddie; rather doubtfully, as they
stood in row Oh the roof of the low
building.

hands wildly; land when 1 say
Three" we'll all jump off and fly.
One. two, threc!'
The jumping was easy enough, but
alas for the flying. Down among the
straw and hay of tie barnyard tumbled
three disconsolate little figures, and
Teddie, striking an arm against an old
wagon box, set up cry of pain which
brought Mike from the barn.
And why couldn't We fly?" repeated
Mike, when he had heard the story.
-'Why because the wings was none of
your own, and nobody can fly with
borrowed ones. If yell just remem-
ber that, it'll be something worth
learnin', for there's plenty of older
folks than you that's thryin' 10 do it.
They fly into splendor on other peo-
Piles money. and into good society on
the responsibility of their families. and
some of 'em even think to fly into
Heaven on the goodness of their

do it; it's nothing but pickin' up

An Incompatible Winter Resort

There is no question that as win
ter resort, especially for ivalids and
convalescents, Bermuda has no equal
this side the Atlantic. Only three
days from New York by the present
line, which might be reduced to forty
eight hours with faster steamers, the
climate is as different as December
from June There is never any frost
here: at least, the last one, and not
much of one at that, was on Christ
mas, 1910. The usual range of the
thermometer during the winter
months is go deg. to 70 deg. Being
only semi-tropical, therefore, there is
none Of that oppressive heat that so
debilitates in the West Indies. There
is always a bracing breeze from the
sea, sometimes Loo bracing; but
though it blow you off your feet there
is no chill in it. Young men wear
white serge suits in January we'll as
July, and the gardens are blooming
with roses every month in the year;
while such tropical fruit as oranges,
lines, lemons, sapadillas and banan-
as, especially the latter, flourish in
great abundance. And in March,
when the farmers Of New York and
New Ensland are just beginning to
think about ploughing and planting,
their Bermudan brothers are busy
digging their potatoes, planted IN De-
cember, and shipping them to the New

matoes and other vegetables, and
thanking their stars(at least they
ought to be) that with other Ameriy
can guests the potato-bug has not yet

An Elephant Kills a Man.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A man named David Watkins has
been killed by an elephant at Aber-
dare. For the past two days Bostock
and WombwelIs menagerie has ex-
hibited in this town. April 8, the ele-
phant Madame'Jumbo, only inch
es less than the renowned Jumbo HIM
self, was stabbed in an enclosure at
the back of the White Lion Inn
Some boys managed to get into this
place, and proceeded to feed the ele-
phant with biscuits. Others, more
mischievous, gave the animal supply
of stones. This SO angered it that
it attempted to wreck its vengeance on
its tormentors. The boys, however,
managed to escape over a wall. The
elephant then turned upon Watkins.
an old man of sixty-five, who had
been an amused spectotor OF the
proceedings. He, unfortunately. was
r7able to make his escape, and the
elephant seized him with it's trunk,
dashed him violently to the ground,
and then pummelled him severely.
The cries OF the old man brought the
keeper to the spot, but he was in turn
compelled to seek safety in flight and
obtain assistance. Watkins was
eventually rescued, but he was found
to be terribly injured. and died.
