On the 18th of May last, baby was
born 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 a few hours the whole civ
ilized world knew that son had been
given to the widow of Alfonso XII,
and that this boy is the new. born King
of SPAN.
This little baby, so helpless and in
nocent, has already caused great en-
element 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 u 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 a 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.

palace OF Charles v, one of the finest
palaces in the world. has. besides the

HUNDREDS OF PARROTS.
Queer Antics OF the Most Lovely of All Of
India's Birds.

Queer Antics Of tho Most Lovely of Al OF
midas Birds.
We went TO India, and | was com-
pletely fascinated by the crowds Of
green parrots we saw in the plains. II
was neverfailing source of delight
to me to see them flying in flocks, oft
en- hundreds at a time. with the rays
of the descending sun glistenng on,
their emerald green plumagc; or to
see tree destitute of leaves made
green by reason of the multitude of
parrots that had settled on its branch.
es; or again. at sunset, to see the green
parrots flying about the white marble
minarets of the glorious Taj-Mehal,
or darling about, frolicking in the cx-
piring rays. 10 me they were the
most lovely of midas birds. One
scene connected with parrots is, from
its perfect beauty often present in my
mind. At 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 numbers to drink and
batne in its running waters and basin.
To see their graceful curve, and up
ward flights before dashing through
and just skimming the surface of the
water, with their mbounded Joy and.
delight in so doing was picture Of
ecstatic. ideal, living happiness Diff
cult to surpass. The parrots at this
rcsidency are almost tame, for every
morning four or five Gagged ones are
let loose to be fed, and down come all
the wild ones to share their feast
The early morning is the time to see
these birds at their brightest and best.
At the first glimpse of the rising sun
they forsake their nights resting
places and fly shrieking forth in search
of food, and on many tree they may
be seen pulling of the precious berries
and fruits. Alas! the mahli's (garden-
er's) heart does not warm to parrots,
for their nature is TO work destruction
wherever they go, snd they pick of
and destroy far more than they eat-as
the unripe manages lying at the foot Of
mango tree will testify. Cor,astH

There is no reason why the green.
pea season on the farm should be con.
fined to two or three weeks at furthest
Like that of sweet corn, it can be pro-
longed by successive planting. The
only drawback to latc-grown peas is
their liability to mildew. But this can
be guarded against in part by seeding
thinly in the rows and giving a good
brushing, so as to keep them well up,
so that the air will circulate freely
through the vines. For such late
paintings the large marrowfats are
better than the small, early varieties. -

PIaying.Cards in England.

An official return just issued gives
some interesting information about the
manufacture of playing-cards in En-
gland. At present there are nineteen
manufacturers in the United Kingdom,
who pay license of 20s., and who pro-
duced 800, packs last year. This did
not meet the demand of the English
card-player, so half as many again
were imported from Austrian and
American makers. The stamp duty
imposed on those cards is now a fairly
important source of revenue. Last
year it amounted to nearly El5,OOO.-

THE CH!LDREN'S PLAN.
Sad Failure Of All Attempt to Fly with
Borrowed Feathers.

1t 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-thc former idle enough
and the latter running here and there
and scratching vigorously as if their
lives depended upon their own exer-
tons. 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 a chick
en," said George.
I'D like to be a Bird said Nell,
dreamily. "rhen I'd fly away up in
the sky. Ib'lieve l could most fly to
Heaven, any way. Id so way of
| over the ocean,
"Why can't we fiy!' asked GeOrgie,
wonderingly. Il never thought about
that
"Cause we don't have any fczzers, "
explained Teddie, turning round from
his post of observation by the barn
door.
That's tive haven't any feath-
ers or wings" said Nell; ''if we had,
! guess we could fly
I'm going to have some right
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 off "
That was brilliant idea! The little
girls opened their eyes in wonder for
a 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 great bunch in each hand they
climbed to the top of the chicken
house Ito get good start as George
SAID
Ill don't know how admitted
Teddte; rather doubtfully, as they
stood in row on the roof of the low
building.
"Why, you must flop your wings
just this way said Nell, waving her
hands wildly; land when l 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 m arm against an old
wagon box, set up Il cry of pain which
brought Mike from the barn.
And why couldn't We Ay?" 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 yen just remem-
Der that, it'll be something worth
learnin', for there's plenty of older
folks than You that's thryin' 70 do it.
They fly into splendor on other PEG.
pies 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
fathers and mothers. They'll never
do it; it's nothing but pickin' up
feathers in the barn-yard, and it end
in tumble"
Mike went back to his work. and if
the children did not quite understand
him, Nell caught part of his mean
ing, for she said: swell, if we can't
make good birds I guess we can make
good children, and we'll have to wait
till God gives us wings. Morning
