HIS LITTLE MAJESTY.
The Autocratlc Way In Which He Raiss
the Roost wherever He May He.

the hoost Wherever lie May Nc.
When His Little Majesty reaches the
age of two years, he becomes very en-
~thusiastic, and his enthusiasm leads
him to do many of those things which
he ought not to do.
And the trouble is, that when he Is
caught at his misdeeds he is not pun
ished. He has the faculty of appear
ing very cunning at the proper time,
and of evading sundry applications OF
the well-merited slipper.
He V e has a keen appreciation OF
the cleverness of his tricks, for he will
lead you smilingly to the spot where
he has been pounding cinders in your
stove-pipe hat, probably thinking the
relations existing between the stove
pipe and the stove justify the combi-
nation. When the hat full of cinders
looms up in your vision, the baby
dances with delight, and laughs as
though his heart would break.
You know just what ought to be
done with him, but you can't make up
your mind to do it. On another occa.
sion, you will catch him humming
some baby song while sitting on the
dining-room table, emptying a bottle
Of chow-chow down the lamp-chim.
ney.
Even his mother laughs, in spite Of
her efforts to appear angry. when she
finds him on the back stoop standing
by the ice-cream freezer, which has
been prepared for expected company,
and observes him pouring the contents
out OF the coal shovel for the cat and
kittens, and only regretful that the
dainty is still warm.
He will take out the silverware
basket, and walk about, scattering the
spoons and forks like seeds. as though
planting a silver-plated mine. He
takes special delight in getting the
carying-knife, and walking about on
the slippery floors with it, where a fall
might prove fatal. And when at the
railroad station, he will walk off a
platform twenty-five feet wide to get
On a narrow-gauge track, where he
may enjoy the felicity of being in
jeopardy.
He also has a habit of hiding things
away, or rather leaving them where
they don't belong. That is the reason
you find your h%air-brush under the
andirons, and a jar of marmalade in
the c%hitfonniere, on your dress skirts.
He will throw jewelry in the fire and
ki~ndling-wood under the bed-clothes.
He cheerfully allows the Irish setter to
take from his hand the ginger-snap
that he would not surrender to his
father, and he amuses himself by tying
his white Tam O'Shanter on the same
animals head. and making him look
like the Wolf in Little Red Riding
Hood.
Sometime he will lather the good
natured beast with his fathers shay
ing-brush, and the dog will not vince,
even when the soap causes tears to
run down his cheeks. and his eye-balls
to split like popcorn. He is always
up to something, is this mischievous
mite of humanity; and, somehow or
other, the worse he is, the more love
and affection are bestowed upon him.
His capacity for mischief is his real
capital. He can have all the candy |
and attention he can stand at the time
that he is caught riding downstairs in
his carriage, or cleaning the goldfish
globe with his favorite tortoise-shell

A Singular Water-Caye Near the Banner
CITY of the Aborigines.

A Singular Water-Cave Near the Banner
CITY of the Aborigines.
More than half a century ago a great
cathedral was commenced in this out
of-the-way hamlet. says a writer de-
scribing a visit to Merida, in Yucatan,
under the direction Of some long-dead
curate. 1t is needless to add that the
poor Indians, who a barely keep soul
and body together, could eve Com
plete it. One end has been rooted and
rudely fitted up as a chapel, and be-
You'd are the high, uncovered walls,
fast crumbling to decay. Sitting upon
an adobe bench in the little plaza
which occupies the center of the town,
we we're greatly astonished by what
looked like a series Of mysterious dis
appearances. There was a continuous
procession Of women, going and COM
ing, each with a big "cantero." or water
jar, upon her shoulder. As they went
from us they suddenly passed out Of
sight at the distance Of a few yards
while others as suddenly appeared,
with faces toward us, as if they had
risen out of the earth. rubbed my
eyes, thinking it an optical illusion.
But no; there they were, appearing
and disappearing in constant pro-
c~ession, like so many phantoms or
jacks-in-a-box.
Determined to solve the mystery, we
joined the procession and quickly
came to a wide opening in the level
but rocky surface of the ground, in-
visible at a little distance, which we
at once recognized as the mouth of a
cenote, or water cave. There being
no other stream or we'll for miles
around, this subterranean reservoir
supplies all the inhabitants with water.
The descent is by regular steps cut in
the limestone, now worn into hollows.
Overhead extends an immense wall of
stone, and five hundred feet from
the mouth is an inexhaustable supply
OF clear, cold water, which has 10
current, and whose source il q
mystery. They tell us that it
rises a little during the rainy season,
but never falls below q certain point
at any time OF year. Around tlls
mouth of the cave birds and bats wero
and darling, and the Egyptian
looking figures, ascending and descend
ing with the water-jars, made a scene
as picturesque as romantic. Luckily
there are few strangers and no drunk
ards in Telchaquillo-fOr, as "all roads
lead to Rome" the paths everywhere
lead through this plaza, and the east-
est thing in life would be to tumble
the broken roof into the bot
LOmless gulf beneath. The ruins Of
Mayapan are found upon the hacienda
Of San Joaquin, which forms part Of
the vast estate known as Xcanchakan, |
once the property Of Don Jose Maria
Nemesis, q former provesor Of the
Church Of Yucatan. This place is
supposed to have been the capital Of
the Mayas, and is spoken Of by the
early historians as FL Pendon de los

ines, Louisville Courier-J0uyaat.

WHY A REPUBLICAN.

The w. G.. T. U. for the state of Iowa,
at its recent annual convention at Des
Moines, reelected Mrs. j. Ellen Foster
as president, giving her 226vo against
twenty-one for Mrs. Carhart, the repre-
sentative of the Prohibition party of that
state. Mrs Carhart favored and strongly
urged upon the convention that it openly
endorse and commit the W. c. t. U. to
the Prohibition party for the pending
campaign, but Mrs. Foster opposed the
proposition, giving as her reasons the
following array of facts based upon his
tory. The result of the election for
president of the Union for the ensuing
twelve months was as above stated,
showing the influence the reasons assign
ed by Mrs Foster had upon the conven-
ton. Said Mrs. Foster
l am Republican by hereditary in
fluence, past environments and present
convictions. Because
!. The Republican party in the past
has stood for all that is liberal and pro-
gressive in legislation.
3 The Republican party freed the
slave.
B. The pronounced and emphatic legis-
lation on moral questions has come most
largely from Republican legislators.
f. The Republican party has always
been the champion of protectlon-pro-
lection to the citizen, protection to the
negro, protection to the ballot box, pro-
lection to the wage-earner, protection to
the wage-payer, and now, in line with
past professions and performances, it de-
clares protection to the home.
5. The friends of the liquor interests
in the ranks of the Republican party are
few and far between.
6. The Republi an party has stood for
the most advanced temperance legisla-
ton which the people demanded, and in
very many states has made open declara-
tionS of enmity against saloons.
Z. The Republican party deals with
conditions of the temperance work, not
theories. The ideal is not always in
stantly attainable; it is better that the
majority of the great, struggling. groan-
ing mass should gain one inch Of altl-
tude than that a few should, by separat-
ing themselves into 'holier-than-thou'
party, attain supernal heights.
s. The Republican party by reason of
its powerful position in this country, is
able to consistently promise the redemp-
ton of its pledges, while the so-called
Prohibition party, even if the sincerity
of its pledges be admitted. cannot for
many years at least, fulfill any one of
them.
/ o. The best types Of American man
hood are represented in the persons of
Benjamin Harrison and Levi p. Morton.
10. The record of the Repu blican
party proves it to be made up of men
out of whose brain and heart reforms
have come in the past, and are likely to
come in the future.

SILK CULTURE No. 10.

To theEditor of the EAGLE:
In a state of nature insects select such
food plants as are most natural to them
but often in their desire to seek new
fields or by adverse winds get out OF
range of those natural food plants and
are compelled to adopt the next best as
a substitute. This Is doubtless where
the silk worm was found when discover
ed and given the name Of the mulberry

because several varities of mulberry are
poisonous to it. 1t doubtless never &C.
Cured to the first discoveries that there
was a plant like our Usage orange on
which it more naturally belonged.
