Dona Christina has begun at Aranjuez
TO initiate her son in his royal duties,
taking him often to see an institution
founded by the late kipg-an asylum for
the orphans of officers and non-commis-
stoned officers who have died in service.
The crown gave up one of the largest
buildings on the royal domain for this
asylum, where several hundred orphans
of both sexes are brought up at the ex-
pense of the state and with money CON

these children, whose fathers are lying
on the hillsides Of north and central

to her son: "You must love them and be
good to them, because they are like you

man get out of the car and go with
them to the mail car. w. q. Beel. the
mail agent, suspected a robbery going on
and tried to get into the baggage car with
a number of registered packages OF mail.
Just as he stepped to the end door OF the
car the robbers intercepted him. The
rohber leader faced him with a pistol in
hand and finding Beel's arms full of
packages said. dump those here on my
left arm" There were uwenty-four pack
ages and Beel dumped them as requested.
The robber made Beel hand him then the
registered pouch which he carried off
with him. The pouch was made up at
Meridian. The contents and value are
unknown. Just theu Billy Scales, the
conductor. armed with a Winchester came
.out and shouted: What's the matter?''
The robbers fired two shots at him, crying
out: Come up here and you'll see what's
the matter" The train was then allowed
to proceed and the robbers disappeared.
A posse was sent in pursuit.

THE COOKING SCHOOL.

Another very large class greeted Mrs
Ewing yesterday in her fifth lesson. The
art of broiling was taken up and thor.
ton Mrs. Ewing used a beefsteak and
while the lesson was progressing she de-
livered short address on the relative
merits of porterhouse and sirloin steaks.
From this she spoke Of sirloin steak being
the most economical steak for large fam
lily. She then thoroughly explained how
the steak should be prepared for the fire,
saying that it should not be seasoned be-
fore being broiled as salt had tendency
to draw up the juices OF the steak After
she had spread little butter over the
platter which was to contain the meat, she
then sprinkled q little pepper and salt;
she said the platter was then ready for the
meat. Another point she made during the
progress Of the lesson was that if the
beefsteak happened to be thick, as is very
often the case, the cooking process could
be continued in the oven. This point she
also illustrated.
In chicken broiling she first described
how the age of a chicken could be told,
which in her words was, when the breast
bone of chicken was timber then the
bird was fit for broiling." Placing it in
the oven the teacher allotted certain
time for cooking, and during that time no
attention WAS paid TO il by the
teacher. When the time had arrived in
which she said the chicken would cook in
she, without looking near the article, said
1t was suitable for serving. Then taking
