An Uncommon Royal Spectacle.

Apropos of grand dukes, it may be IN
teresting to state that the car has recently
given the rare spectacle of an autocrs attic
sovereign freely renouncing some OF his
privileges and reducing the amount OF
moneys attributed to members OF his lam
lily out of the State budget. The empress
VINO received annually 100000 rubles-a
ruble is nearly equal to eighty cents-will
get only 100000 hereafter. and In case OF
widowhood her dowry will be reduced oy
one half, if she resides outside of Russia.
Instead of 100000 rubles, the czarowitz
will have only 100, 900. and his wife 50, 0OO
instead of $50, 900, as now. On her hus.
bands death she would get pension II
100000 rubles instead of 300, 600, II
resides within the empire, and only D., -!
in case of her residing abroad. The d
dukes, brothers of the reigning car, VINO
received 100000 rubles as a pension until
now, will get no more than $4,000 The
daughters and grand daughters Of the EN-,
peror will receive from the State dot OF
LOCO, 900, and nothing more. Each son OF
the car will get at his majority appansges
bringing determined income and 600,
600 rubles toward the building and fur
nishipg OF palace. Similar reductions
have been ordered by the czar in regard tt
money appropriations made to other mem
hers Of the imperial family. YorI

When They Want Pennies.

"Will you kindly give me some pennies
in change7" asked gentleman rider on
a street car last night.
Glow many ?" asked the conductor.
ssOh, about ten," was the reply.
The transaction was made satisfacto-
rily, and the gentleman slowed the ten
pennies carefully down in the corner OF
his vest pocket.
SIS not demand for pennies rather I'M
usual 2'' was asked the conductor when he
had taken his place on the rear balcony OF
the car.
"No. On Saturdays we often have re-
quests for pennies, but on other days OF
the week people don't want them, and Of
ten absolutely refuse to receive five cents
worth of coppers. You see, men with
families find it profitable to be prepared
with pennies to give the children for Sun
day school and to drop on the plate. Ter
cents worth of pennies will go long way
but if man has much of a church going
family it will cost him quite sum If he If
| compelled to give them all five or ten CEN
pieces because he has nothing smaller.
"All the pennies dispense on Saturday
come back to me on Monday morning
There are twenty eight churches along
nv line, and | catch all the ministers go
ing down to the weekly meetings, an'
they all pay their fares in pennies. -

Habits of Ostriches.

There are certain old traditions about
the ostrich which, have been told by the
owner Of the California ranch, are falla-
cious. He saws that the ostrich does not
bury his head in the sand and imagine he
is unobserved by his enemies. On the
contrary, he is very pugnacious bird and
always ready for fight. Nor does the
female ostrich lay her eggs in the SAND
for the sun to hatch them. To do them
Justice, they are quite domestic and de-
serve q better reputation. Nor is the
ostrich ever used for riding, as he has an
exceptionally weak back; any person
might break it with blow from en- ordi-
nary cane.
His strength lies in his great breast and
he feet. He has one great claw and
a very small one, and with terrible pre-
clsion he can bring down the large claw
with cruel force that will tear open any
thing not made of sheet iron.
Savage birds at best, they are danger
ously so during breeding time. The
twenty-five birds brought to our Califor-
mis- ranch trusted to their instinct and laid
their eggs during the California winter,
which correspondent to their summer south
of the equator. 1t being the rainy season,
their nests were filled with water and the
eggs were chilled; SO the first season OF
their American sojourn was failure.
The ostrich makes it's nest by rolling in
the sand and scooping out hole some six
feet in diameter, and, excepting an incu-
bator house, the California ranch requires
no buildings for the use of the birds,
though the land is divided off into pens,
fenced in, each about an acre in extent, fol
the use of the breeding birds, every pail
occupying one such enclosure.
| The ostriches live upon alfalfa and corn
Alfalfa is grass cultivated all over tht
ranch. It resembles our clover and grows
to crop some six times year.-st Nsch

A Burning Question.

am curious to know what it is that
makes painting by one artist worth $1O.-
600, and painting by another, though
equally good, perhaps even better, worth
SiO. | saw some pictures recently by
painter who can just keep his head above
water, which are as well painted as are
the canvases of many artists who are on
the topmost wave of popularity. Perhaps
you will say they lack the sacred fire. On
the contrary, they possess it to a greater
degree than some of their more fortunate
fellow craftsmen. Aud yet they will lie
in unknown graves while the others have
lofty monuments reared above their heads.
I wonder what makes the difference.
Sometimes think it is enterprise, indus
try and tact-merely commercial qualities,
that have nothing to do with the intrinsic
merit of work of art.-1he Critic.

Housekeeping BOYS.

There were four boys in the family,
whose activity was exhausting.. me
mother was q wise little woman who be-
lieved that much ill directed force might
be utilized by judicious division OF labor,
which would spare her nerves and increase
the family comfort.
So the oldest boy washed dishes when
he was just tall enough to wear his
mothers apron tied around his neck. He
swept. busted, and even cooked little.
If storms or sickness kept them in the
house they were given needles, thread and
thimbles, and taught to replace buttons,
and set at other slight repairing, which
they learned to do quite skillfully.
When the third brother (who is the hero
of this story had grown to fit the apron,
the first was honorably released. His
deft- handed successor, more ambitious or
more teachable, became that rarest OF
artists, good plain cook, who was well
come at campings-out and other festivities
| of Bohemian character. He was uu-
damned by biscuit and triumphant over
steak This "third brother" could also
mend neatly, and even made his own neck
| ties to afford himself more variety.
A time came when this training was
worth small salary. He found himself
with an invalid wife, boy of three years,
and hand SO badly injured that he was
obliged to change his employment. Some
thing suited to his altered circumstances
was not easily or quickly found; but the
man who had washed dishes had other
resources.
He did not, SIS well-meaning friends ad
vised, give up his home and waste his
substance on hired nurses and boarding
houses.
Through whole discouraging year OF
waiting he nursed the sick wife, cooked
for the small family and kept the house
bright and tidy with an occasional days.
help. When the right position was Offered
at last, and the housekeeping fell again
into natural channels, it was evident tina
man could assist his own family withou
loss of dignity, and at the same time avoi'
the discomfort, and perhaps debt, cause'
by additional cares, while the real care
taker was unable to meet them.
In a partnership each member OF tn
: firm should be able to perform, or at leas
direct, the others work and there is n
reason why a man should not UNDERSTAND
, some of the details of housekeeping, or

The Brakeman's Loss.

There is danger that the modern passen-
ger brakeman will die of ennui. On the
Fort Wayne road there is now in process
of testing device which is to be operated
by compressed air from the engineers cab,
and which is, in effect, noiseless annun-
ciator, quietly informing the passengers,
through their eyes, not their ears, of the
name of the next stopping place. This, if
generally adopted, will rob the brakeman
Of the dear joy of shouting in an unknown
tongue. One by one this officials duties
have passed away. A decade ago he
twisted the had brake as vigorously, and
oftener, than did his co-worker on the
freight train. Air and the engineer now
perform that arduous duty. Now comes
that silent, air-operated station annunci-
ator. There are few privileges, how
ever, left to the passenger brakeman,
which the man in the engine cannot take
away. There are pretty girls to help on
and off, fat women, babies, old men and
packages unnum5 ered to LOOK after. But
the vocal training of the brakeman will be
totally neglected, and he will at times
sigh for the times when he could relieve
his feelings by splitting some passengers

How lay Gould Dispenses Charity.

Like most of the successful men of the
present age Mr.. Gould is extremely me-
thodical and systematic in his habits. He
rises every morning at precisely half past
seven, seldom varying from that hour
more than ten minutes. At 8 o'clock he
sits down to his breakfast, which in his
case is usually French rolls and cup of
coffee, and expects to find every member
of his family present at that meal. Break
fast over, his private secretary is called In,
and the numerous begging letters OF the
mornings mail are laid upon the table
Each member selects at random number
of these letters and reads them over. If
any one of them is impressed by any OF
the letters they are laid by for future
reference, while the others go into the
waste basket. Those letters which have
been laid aside are then taken up and dis
cussed, and if majority of those present
conclude that it is case which really de-
serves assistance the assistance is sure to
come within very few hours, in very
| substantial form and without the slightest
hint as to the identity of the donor

Queer Beliefs.

The Fiiian cannibal's emotions have
reference for the greater part to food, SO
he worships the god Matawaloo, who has
eight stomschs and is always eating.
The Tongans have very curious dogma
to account for day aid night being
twenty -four hours long. 1t used to be
less: the sun used to go down too quick
So one day man caught it with moose,
and it had to go,slower thereafter.
The ancient Peruvians believed that the
sun once came down to the earth and laid
two eggs and then went back again. From
these two eggs men sprung.
The American Indians had dogma that
the sun was the one m preme god, and the
moon was his wife. Une tribe inhabising
fearfully hot district worshipped the
moon alone, saying that they had no use
for the sun.
In the DAYS of Columbus scientific dog
mas asserted If ship should reach
India she could never get back again, be-
cause the rotundity of the globe would

Our stores are crippled by rum debts
