failing here for so cents gallon. They sold

greatest oyster consuming cities in the

bivalves are to be exceedingly scarce for
some time.

SPANS LITTLE KING,
a Baby Monarch Who Leads a SingularIy
Happy Life.

The little fellows life at San Sebastien
is a singularly happy one, and he enjoys far
more freedom and liberty Of action there
than at Madrid. Every morning, punctu-
ally at o'clock, when the guard is re-
heved, he steps out on the low and spacious
balcony of the royal chateau In order to
listen to the music Of the regimental band.
There is always a crowd of children assem-
bled to see him appear, and as he knows
many of them personally by name, he leans
over the balcony to talk to them, and the
quaintest kind of conversations ensue.
They are generally interrupted by a tap on
the window, on hearing which the little
King cries: Adios, au revoir; | must go
in, mamma is waiting for me. p" Shortly
after nine o'clock he appears on the sands
escorted by Nine Tacon, Raimunda and a
couple of footmen, and plays around in the
most thoroughly democratic manner with
his sister and other children of his acquain-
lance At II o'clock, after having dug
and romped and padded about bare
footed in the water to his hearts content,
he returns to the chateau for luncheon, and
on his arrival the palace guard turns out
and the bugle sounds, a noise which His
Most Catholic Majesty often tries to initiate.
At o'clock he goes out for drive, and as
he comes down the steps to the carriage
the Royal halberdiers range themselves,
one on each step, on either side of the
stairs As soon as he is seated in the car
riage he turns to Col. Loigorri, the chief of
the halberdiers, and In obedience to the in
structions which he has received, eXclaims
with the utmost gravity: LET them re-
tire At o. clock, the little fellow, who
is in splendid health, is put to bed, his
mother being invariably present to say his
prayers with him and to kiss him good
night.
While passing a weighing machine the
other day on the esplanade at San Sebas-
ten, with the children, the Queen took it
into her head to get the whole party weigh
ed. The scales tipped the beam at the
following figures: King Alfonso weighs
35 pounds; his mother, the Queen Regent,
is; his eldest sister, the princess of the
Asturias, As, and the Infanta Maria The
resia, As. That is to say, the entire fami-
ly weighs just three pounds less than the
old, but not venerable, Queen Isabella II.
The Regent while at San Sebastien spends
much of her time in driving spirited
four-in-hand team harnessed to an English
break. She handles the ribbons with thor
oughly Austrian skill.

A Sarcastic Monkey.

In a recent lecture NJ. Romanes is report
ed as having strongly denied the existence
of even a trace of any feeling of the ludicr-
Gus in the renowned chimpanzee ''Sally.
1t may be worth while to record a small fact
observed by me lately, tending think, to
favor an opposite view. Being alone with
a friend in SallY's house we tried to get
her to obey the commands given by the
keeper. The animal came to the bars of the
cage to look at US, and, adopting the keep
er 5 usual formula, l said: Give me two
straws. Sally" At first she appeared to
take no notice, although she had been eying
us rather eagerly before. l repeated the
request with no further result, but on a
second or third repetition she suddenly
took up a large bundle of straw from the
floor and thrust it through the bars at US,
and then sat down with her back to us.
Our request was perhaps unreasonable,
seeing that we had no choice morsels of
banana with which to reward her. She
did not however, seem i'll tempered at our
PRESUMPTION and the next instant was as
lively as ever. 1t seems to me that her
action on this occasion certainly came very
near to an expression of hunor. Rather
sarcastic hunor perhaps it was, but she
certainly appeared to take pleasure IN the
spectacle of something homogeneous, and
this surely lies at the base of all sense of
the ludicrous.

ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT.
Ashland Sports Have Little Fear ofHoard's
Proclamation.

ASHLAND, Wis. - Governor Hoard's
proclamation does not seem to have
staggered the sports here, as prize fights
are occurring here regularly. Seldom
has a more bloody or stubbornly contested
fight been witnessed than the one which
took place here about l o'clock Saturday
morning, on the stage of the Casino thea
ter, between Frank Keller and Charles
Kimmick, both 160-pound men. The fight
was billed for ten rounds with four
pound gloves. In the fourth round Kim
mick punished Kellar severely. The lat
ter was knocked down several times, but
he came up every time though very grog-
gy. The call of time saved him at the
end of the tenth round. Neither man
was knocked out and referee called the
fight draw. Kellar was fearfully pun
ished, his lips being cut and his body be-
spattered with blood. Several Ashland
County officers witnessed the disgusting
spectacle
