Queen of Spafn.

Maria Christina, the widowed queen Of
Spain, who rules as regent during the minor
ity of her infant son, has kind heart. Upon
the death of the sister of CASTELAR,, the Repub-
lican leader and orator, the queen, knowing
between them, sent the following message by
the president of the council:
1Tell Senior CASTELAR, that I forget that he
is the head of the Republican party, to re-
member only that he is a national glory,
great orator, an unrivaled artist, and that l
share his sorrow an Spaniard and as
queen"
A Spanish poet waged war against the
queens regency SO bitterly that at last he
was tried, condemned and exiled Being de-
pendent on his pen for his livelihood, his wife
and children left behind were soon reduced
to poverty. For their sake he solicited the
queens pardon. 1t was granted at once and
he returned to Spain. He then begged the
favor of an audience that he might express
in person to the queen his gratitude, and was
graciously received. After a few kind words,
the queen suddenly said:
"You are not very rich, senior; literary
men OF genius rarely are, and you have
large family, I am told"
II have six children, your majesty"
ssSixP' said the queen. "Well, there will
be three for you and three for me-"
'From that day. writes the author of
Cosmopolitan Recollections," ''the three
daughters Of the poet were educated at the
regents expense, under her own personal
supervision, and monarchy counts one loyal
subject more. "-Youth's Companion.

The Oatmeal Craze.

It may be interesting to many delicate peo-
pie to know that popular scientist declares
that the Scotch race owes nearly all its hardi-
ness of brain and body to its national food.
Now everybody is eating oatmeal, and, n4'
like the majority of fashions, this happens to
be one which every one should be induced to
follow One firm, manufacturing brand
known to newspaper readers all over the
United States, is even said TO have great diff
Guilty in supplying the demand. A member
OF the Arm said the other day that the de-
maand was nothing less than an oatmeal
"craze,a and that no rslan or woman who as
pires to live correctly nowadays would think
Of emitting that savory dish from at least
one meal during tbs day,-New York Tele-

The Late Empress Augustus Tact.

Gle. Her royal highness one evening entered
into conversation with me- Among other
things she said she was very fond Of reading,
but sometimes had difficulty in getting inter-
esting books. With the innocent inexperi-
ence Of an American replied: "Why, your
royal highness' palace adjoins the Royal
library" had sense enough to perceive that
had made mistake, but, as Macbeth says,
retreating is worse than going ahead, l fin

''And there apo 100000 volumes on its
shelves" In German this speech would not
have been very leniently judged But, With
tact and grace, she answered very kindly:
"That is true, but we sometimes want new
books" I think she was rather pleased with

To Get q Divorce in Switzerland.

Until within few years curious custom
has obtained in Switzerland. When husband
and wife expressed q desire for q divorce they
were required to enter room and live therein
together for a fortnight, during which time
they were neither to see nor to converse with
anybody else; their food was passed to them
through narrow opening in the wall, and all
communication with the outside world was
shut off. If, at the end of a fortnight Of this
confinement together, the couple still elamorad
for divorce, it was granted without further
ado.-Cor. Chicago News

There are a greater number of clerks en-
ployed in the treasury than in any other de-
partment, and more women are at work there
than elsewhere A Miss Douglass was the
first woman to be given position. This was
in 1851, Secretary Chase, during Mr.. Lin
coins administration, having been the first
officer to suggest the appointment Of women.
Miss Douglass was put to cutting money, and
handled the scissors SO well that regular APP
pointments of women were made in 1862
while Gen. Spinner was treasurer Miss
Keller, who entered at that time, still holds
position in the department..
1t was in the redemption division where
Miss Douglass scissors became famous and
opened the way for womens work in the
treasury. Ladies were first employed in cut
ting notes at salaries of 5000. In 1864 con-
gress passed bill raising the amount to 5000
But soon after this a machine was Invented
for cutting the money, which made it I'M
necessary to employ manual labor. Then the
ladies were given the work of counting
money, and $50 were employed in this way
until the fractional currency was discon-
tinued, and these women were gradually dis
charged until only about forty now remain.

A Curious Flower Garden.

A peddler who has just returned from Win
ston county, Ala, tells a story which, if not
true, evinces an imaginative power which no
one would ever suppose him to possess.
A farmer named Greene while in town was
persuaded to buy few Chinese lily bulbs,
which will grow if placed in bottle or jar
They resemble in appearance a diminutive
steers head, and sell on the streets for mere
trife.
Farmer Green took fancy to them and
bought dozen of them. When he reached
home he had no bottle or jar to put them in
and threw them into the hog lot with bucket
of spoiled potatoes.
A few days afterward one of his largest
hogs became sick, refusing food and laying
down in corner, grunted as if in constant
pain. No signs of disease could be discovered,
but few days later the hog died. The cause
of death was discussed in the usual family
council around the supper table and it was
finally concluded best to cut up the hog and
find out, if possible, whether OF not the dis
ease was contagious.
This was done and the cause of death was
instantly apparent. The animal had swal-
lowed a Chinese lily bulb whole and there
was sufficient moisture in the stomach to
cause it to grow. The bulb had not only
swelled and sprouted, but leaves had actually
formed. The animal was not adapted to the
purposes of flower garden and died-Phila-
delphia Times.

That tin plate manufacture has be-
come an accomplished fact in the Unit.
ed States, recent advices from Pittsburg
would seem to leave very little doubt
says the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
This is an enterprise upon which the
American mind has long been bent,and
it is not easy to see what a serious diff
Guilty stands in the way of its taking
root in the country.
Ii the undertaking were DELAYED
through the lack OF skilled labor, that is
an obstacle which "A few months could
easily remove, for there must be many
hundreds Of good workmen in South
Wales who would be found ready tc
cross the Atlantic for the higher wages
which their services would command in
the United States.
Then there is a certainty that as soon
as ever the industry is fairly started tine
government will be willing enough tC
give it all needful protection by placing
"a prohibitive duty on imported tin
plates.
This is a very agreeable prospect for
the American tin-plate manufacturer
but it is rather a doleful one for the
British maker, whoi is at last confronted
by the impending loss OF a market Of
which he has for many years enjoyed
the exclusive monopoly.
This is an event which has been long
predicted, but its realization, though
often threatened, has been delayed un-

How to Entertain Wen.

A hostess should think twice before
She invites people to her house. She
should be so generous as to let her
friends alone, unless she wishes to treat
them well. Then, having made up her
mind to invite them, she must remem-
Der that, from that moment she is their
slave, says u writer in the Ladies' Home
journal. She is to be all attention and
all suavity. Ii she has nothing to offer
them but n cup OF tea, she must make it
a 'beaker full of the warm southn by
her manner. In the smallest house, the
humblest surroundings, the hostess is
queen, and she must be gracious. III
she is not, she is a snob, a vulgarian
and a poor creature, no matter il
her husband is a millionaire. a
president or n great scholar.
A lady should be very particular to
specify whom she wishes to see, and no
lady should go to a strange house unin-
vited on the spoken belief of some
oyher person that she will be welcome.
Still less should a gentleman presume
too much. A young gentleman may be
taken by IL married lady, who Is all
powerful, to a ball, as she is supposed to
endorse his responsibility, but it is
always better for him to leave his card.
and for him to receive an invitation,
il, however, through any misapprehen-
sion, a person gets into n house unin-
vited, a hostess should never show by
wor or manner that she observes it.
The very fact that "A person has crossed
her threshold gives, for the moment,
that person Il claim on the %pollteness of
q hostess.

What "E. & W. Means.

The old, familiar trademark, 'E. &
w." on n collar or cuff, means some
thing else besides the firm name of Earl
& Wilson. 1t means that the article is
not only perfect in form, claim the MAX
ers, but of superior quality and finish.
For years they have been used be men
who know how TO dress, who know how
important it is that a becoming and
thoroughly correct collar should sur
mount wen the most expensive coat.
They have been worn by men who cling
to the good, old-fashioned shaped that
never seem to change their curves, and
by the younger generation who buy by
the million the latest thing they see
with the E. g. w. mark on it. The lat
est advertised novelty of the firm is the
Otsego collar, which has been bought
by the thousand dozens as a practical
holiday present for any young man,
either in or out of the family. In cuffs,
those thick, handsome, board-like wrist
bands OF splendid linen, everything that
meets with the approval Of the day, can
be found in the anne brand" To
know them and their wearing qualities

Musee.

Musee.
The crowds at the Eden Musee dur
ing the past week have been so large
that many have been turned away, the
utmost capacity of the house not being
sufficient to entertain all who came.
The chief attraction was Jonathan
Bass, the ossitied man, who is described
by all who see him as the
most remarkable creature ever seen in
the west: A well known clergyman of
this city says: Everybody should see
hin and learn one of life's great les
sons" Bass is the wonder OF all and
has baffled all the surgeons and scien-
lists of the day. In reality he is a liv-
ing statue of bone. Because of his
great interest Mr.. Lawler has consented
TO retain him another week in order
that those who could not see him last
week may yet do so.
The ossitied man will remain one week
longer. But this is not the only attrac-
ton of this week. All of the seven
mammoth departments will be replete
with features. The two theatres will
present unusually good bills. Loatie
West, lreland's queen Of song, will be
one of the features. Charles Schilling
will appear in his latest musical novelty.
Morris g. Lamar, the greatest of all
mind readers, will astonish the IN asses
and puzzle the scientists. And all
over the popular family resort will be
features of exceptional interest. Man
ager Lawler has succeeded in arranging
one OF the best shows ever given in the
west, and as usual one dime will admit
to all.

Irrigation IN C,ufornin.

Wherever the water comes from, it is
usually conveyed into a tank or n reser-
voir, and then piped Or ditchcd about
over the farm wherever needed, says n
writer in the Popular Science Monthly.
A hand pump is a rarIS in southern
California. A wtndmill pumps the
water into a high tank, which gives 1T
Hydrants are placed at the house, at
the barn, in the garden, in the orchard,
and at other points. With plenty of
hose the fire protection is admirable.
The farmers wife is as we'll off as her
city cousin in the matter of water con-
veniences.
Running through iron pipes near the
|ssurface of u blistering hot soil, the
water gets warm, not to say hot, and so
it does standing in the tank over the
we'll. When wanted for drinking, it is
put into n porous earthen jar called an
ALA, and the evaporation of the large
part which soaks through the jar cools
the contents. Always in the morning,
and nearly always throughout the day,
you al get q drink as cool as the
stomach ought to have. Sometimes a
barrel, covered with a cloth kept wet,
is used for the same purpose.
The water thus piped to various
points on the farm is sometimes carried
from the hydrants through bitches
which run along the highest parts of
the ground. The bitches are the sim
plest possible in construction. They
go winding about like natural streams.
Sometimes a furrow of q large farm
plow answer every purpose. For the
capillaries of the circulation the fur
rows made between the lows of vegeta-
bles in c~uitivating them are quite suf-
ticient. When you have irrigated a
few rows, a hoeful or two OF the earth
applied to each furrow stops the water
from them, and the dam is removed
farther down the main stream. and
more rows are irrigated in the saw way.
