SPANS LITTLE KING,
A Baby Monarch Who Leads a SinguIarly
Happy Life,


The little fellows life at San Sebas.
tien is a singularly happy one, and he
enjoys far more freedom and liberty ol
action there than al Madrid. Every
morning, punctually at eight o'clock,
when the guard is relieved, he steps
out on the low and spacious balcony OF
tho royal chateau in order to listen to
the music Of the regimental band.
There is always q crowd Of children
assembled 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 con.
versations ensue. They are generally
interrupted by tap o. the window. on

In the most thoroughly democratic
manner with his sister and other
children Of his acquaintance. At
twelve O'Clock, after having dug and
romped and padded about barefooted
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 attempts to imi-
tate. At five o'clock he goes ont for a
drive, and as he comes down the steps
to the carriage the royal halberdiers
range themselves, one OF each step, on
either side OF the stairs. As soon as
he is seated in the carriage he turns to

took it into her head to GET the whole

beam at the following figures: King
Alfonso weighs 35 pounds; his mother,

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Amy crop suitable for feeding IN
iss green state will make good silape
but the corn plant is superior to any
other.
There are few methods by which
the small farmer can more easily In.
crease the profit derived from the
farm than by keeping sheep Western
Rural.
Sheep relish good proportion Of
leaves and twigs in their food at all
seasons. and will live and do we'll on
plants that cattle do not like and horses
will not eat.
Don't let earth or rubbish accumu-
late around the sills OF the barn or
sheds; II you do it will not be many

The strawberry can ~ grown on
small plats that will not afford room
for tree, and as it produces fruit in
one year from the time the plants arc
set out, it is one of the most valuable
fruits for the family that can be grown.
Give winter protection to the small
fruit. The thing to do is to select the
best varieties, even if tender, and then
go to the trouble OF protecting them.
Hardy varieties are often like the scrub
COW, tough, but mighty Improbable.
If the land is heavy clay pillow it
this fall for the spring crops. Freez-
ing and thawing will greatly benefit
the soil, especially if an inch OF the
sub-soil be thrown to the surface.
Soils that are very sandy will not be
much benefited in this way;
When a tree is to be transplanted,
never leave more branches than are
wanted for mains, four or five at most;
never grow mass of unnecessary
limbs to be crowding, which must be
cut out afterward. much to the injury
OF the tree; remove them from the
head at first.
Young horses should not be allow
cd to remain in pasture so late as to be
injured by cold weather. If exposed
TO cold storms or left out frosty nights
they may suffer serious damage, and
will certainly lose flesh, aud thus be-
gin the winter much less advantage
eusly than il kept in prime condition
from the start
Some kinds of seeds may be kept
q long time and very large per cent.
Of them will grow; another class will
germinate fairly we'll, while of others
but very small per cent will grow.
Some lose their vitality the second
year. Wheat retains its vitality for
long time, aud can be used when more
than one or two years old. but it is not
advisable, only when fresh seed can
not be secured. But rye must be fresh.
Some Western farmers complain
that sorghum is not what it once was.
that it has lost its sweetness and looks
different. In fact IL has run out"
This Is undoubtedly due to careless
ness in selecting seed. Neither sor-
ghum, broom corn nor the common
kinds of corn should be grown near
each other. The pollen of one will, to
some extent, affect those with which it
is mixed. And as the admixture in
seed does not show until the
plant natures, it is worth while to
take extra pains to get it pure. Amer.

II the object of a school education be

en- we can think of no part OF their in
struction upon which more stress
should be laid than upon that which
relates to department When there ore
dozen applicants for a position in
business house, the best-mannered boy
or youth of the lot is invariably select
ed. Well-marnered boys rarely re-
main long in the messenger service in
our cities, for the reason that business
men offer them better positions and
secure their services. The best
hammered statesmen and saleswomen
sell the most goods, and are
In greatest demand. Good-mannered
men make their way in politics, in the
professions, in business life and in So
ciety to far greater degree than the
boorish and uncouth. though the latter
may be equally diligent and quite as
competent in all respects save that OF
deportment These indisputed facts
show clearly that the child who is not
instructed in manners is being de-
prived Of the most important part of
an education. 1t is true that manners
should be taught at home. But in
many homes the parents would need
teaching first before they could teach
their children. To the children OF
such homes the school affords the only
opportunity they will ever have OF
learning the rudiments of common po-
liteness II the school fails in its
duty in this respect the children must
grow up as boorish as their parents.
The children of cultivated homes will
likewise be all the better II required
to practice in school the politeness
they are taught at home. Par
ents who have been careful to teach
their children good manners at home
have frequently found cause to com.
plain that their efforts in this direction
were largely neutralized because no

Of these is the fashion OF teaching chill
dren to be courteous and polite at

fallen into decay. and it should be re.
