brought him to the palace with much pomp
and splendor.
The prince was a most handsome young
man, and no sooner had he and the princess
met than they were filed with love for each
other, and each soon felt that there could be
no pleasure away from the other The beauty
Of the princess far exceeded the expectations
Of the young prince, and he declared that no
more lovable person than she ever Lived.
When the prince had been at the castle for
some time he discovered the wonderful pearl
Of the princess and asked Of her how she had
come by it. Upon her telling the story Of the
fairy's gift he was overioyed and showed her
a magic diamond that had been given him in
the same manner Thereupon the king was
told the circumstances and, all knowing that
the prince and princess were intended for
each other, the betrothal was at once an
nounced throughout all the land and the
most brilliant wedding ever known soon fol-
lowed
The prince proved such good and wise
man that before the king died he gave him
the place Of ruler, while he quietly enjoyed a
very happy old age. And the country ever
afterward continued to be well governed
peaceful and very prosperous.
The precious legasies also descended from
generation to generation, as the fairy had
foretold, even unto this day, and are now
known, the diamond as Honor and the pearl
as Virtue. Translated by George Wagner
from the German of Billinger -Willfred for
The Philadelphia Times.

Homes Tint Are No Hnnes.

Charles Lamb says the children Of the very
poor do not prattle. 1t is none Of the least
fright6ul features in that condition, that
there is no childishuess in its dwellings. Poor
people, said a sensible old nurse to us once, dc
not bring up their children; they drag them
up. The little careless darling of the wealthy
nursery, in their hovel is transformed be
times into rejecting person. No one has
time to dandlo it; no one thinks it worth
while to coax it, to soothe it, to toss it up and
down. to humor it. There is none to kiss
away its tears If it cries, it can only be
beaten. It has been prettily said that baby
is fed with milk and praise. But the aliment
Of this poor babe was thin, unnourishing.
Tho return to its little baby tricks and efforts
to engage attention, was bitter, ceaseless OBJ
jurgation.. It never had toy. 1t grew uu
without the lullaby Of nurses. It was q
stranger to the patient fondle, the hushing
cares. 1t was never sung to No one ever
told it nursery tale 1t had no young
dreams 1t broke at once into the iron reali
ties Of life The children of the very Door
have no young years 1t makes the heart
bleed to overhear the casual street talk be
tween poor woman and her littlegirl. 1t is
not of toys, Of nursery books, Of summer
holidays 0itting that ages it is of manglina
and clear starching, Of the price of Goals OF
OF potatoes. The questions Of the child, that
should be the very outpouring Of curiosity in
idleness, are marked with forecast and
melancholy providence. It has come to be 8

A Dnke,s Danghters.

Macmillan, Duke Of Deux Points in Ba-
varia, died in his SD year Duke Max was a
bluff, hearty, homely old man, and a good
deal Of an Old King Cole He enjoyed his
pipe and his beer to the end. Nothing pleased
him more than to play some musical instru-
ment at village dances. The music he per-
formed was generally Of his own composing
and was Of a kind to put life and mettle in
the heels Of the dancers He lived much more
in the old secularized abbey Of Tegernsee
than at Munich. His homo was in itself pic
turesque, and stood ON the edge of q romantic
lake. The lovely daughters of the duke were
brought up like wood nynphs and free as air.
The second Of them is now empress of Aus
tria. The only attendants allowed to the
princesses when they went out to walk or
ride were dogs specially trained to take care
of them and strong enough to repel aggression.
His daughters were all fondly attached to
him. The eldest of his sons, to make a love
match, renounced his right to succeed to the
duchy Of Deux Points in favor Of his brother.
Charles Theodore, the renowned oculist. The
third son is married to a daughter Of The
Princess Clementine of Saxe-Coburg. The
other daughters are the Princess Of Thuru
and Taxis, the cx-gueen of Naples. the
Countess Of TTipani, and the Duchess d'Alen-
con, who has just come out of mad house
They are all passionately fond of dogs and
horses, Their true vocation was to be circus
riders. 1t is, however, just to add that they
are, notwithstanding their horsiness, women
of refined appearance and manners. They
had all fine figures of the slender, flexible
sort and astonishingly, fine heads of hair,
But they have found life full of disappoint-
ments The empress Of Austria looks upon
her husband as the head clerk in a great sys-
tem Of bureaucracy. She would have liked
to marry some hero worthy to figure in an
opera of Wagner's.-San Francisco Argonaut.

A nIrsterIous pisannenrnnce.

If every one would faithfully report the
experiences of his life what vast collection
Of incidents, startling and otherwise, would
be recorded, from which the patient ana
lyzer might make large additions to the evil
dence pertaining to many departments of
inquiry that now so largely engage the at
tention Of inquirers into the secrets Of nature.
l had an experience about 1868 that perplexed
me not a little for a short time.
In the month Of April in that year was
engaged in developing a mechanical idea,
and to do this it became necessary to obtain
some brass castings, for which l made the
patterns While engaged on these one day
in a shop, of which and the tools had OBJ
tanned the use, was making pattern about
one inch long, three-fourths of an inch wide,
and about three-eighths deep. l had nearly
completed it, when, having occasion to 20 to
another part Of the shop, l left the bench for
perhaps fifteen seconds. On my return ex-
pected to take the piece to complete the I'm
ishing process, when, lOl it was gone. The
bench had been kept clear Of shavings, bits Of
wood, etc, where J knew laid the pattern,
SO there was nothing to screen it from view
I looked for it carefully on the bench, among
the few chisels and some other tools living
about, removing each one separately, to be
suro it was among them ] then looked the
few shavings on the floor over by removing
them with my fingers one by one, until fully
satisfied it was not on the floor. 1 carefully
examined the bench again, but could not find
it, and concluded l must make another pat
tern. went about ten feet to get another
piece of wood, and when I returned to the
bench again there was the piece in-the same
place laid it down The question is, where
was that piece while the search was going on,
and how did it get back. For, where I found
it, it was impossible it could have been there
all that time. There was no one in the
shop except myself. -Electro-Philosophica

Cbean Food

1t is false economy that induces people to
uso cheap butter, cheap meat, cheap -four,
and other cheap articles Of food In nine
cases out Of ten, cheap articles Of food are
either damaged or odulterated, and are dear
Mt any price, They are seldom what they
purport to be- and if not really dangerous to
use, generally prove unsatisfactory to the
purchaser or consumer OF all cheap things,
cheap articles of food should be most care
fully avoided Bread that is heavy or sour
has passed the bounds Of redemption. Butter
that has become rancid cannot be regenerated
by the addition Of colormg, Meats that are
tainted can by no chemical process be re-
stored TO their original condition, and the
secret of infusing freshness into stale vegs-
tables and decayed fruits remains undiscov-
cred. To use low priced stuff for food is not
only cxtravagant and foolish but criminal
1t is fragrant violation Of the laws of
