to clean the windows in the Empress
own sitting-room, and accordingly an
hour later the housemaid appeared
with an assistant, who, on en-
tering, started back, seeing the Empress
sealed at her desk, but with her pleas
antest manner. Her majesty prepared
TO leave the room, saying to the startled
hnusemaid as she was Withdrawing: e:
You know now, my child, what the
Empress looks like"
y tendency toward practical joking
In the haiserin sometimes ANNOYED her
husband. On one occasion he sent
from well-known jewelers. a costly
bracelet to certain lady connected
with the court, with whom his rela-
tions were more than friendly. At the
same time ring belonging to the En-
press had been reset and was to be sent
home. The jeweler, by mistake, mis-
directed the Tarcels so that the Empress
received the bracelet and the favorite
or the house her Majesty's ring, which
she took for granted was present to
herself. a levee was held that after
neon, ard both ladies wore the jewels,
the Empress, who thoroughly under
stood Countess IS position, recog-
nizing her ring at once. Upon this
lady devolved the duty of holding her
Majesty's gloves and fan, and as the
Empress handed them to her she re-
marked in the Emperor's hearing as
well as that of the group about them:
when had my ring reset, Countess,
| had no idea how becoming it would
be to you; but probably the Emperor
consulted 1 you upon the subject"
Confusion, of course, followed; but
there was nothing to do or say, and a
few hours later the Empress found
upon her dressing table the ring in its
box, and her husband was compelled to
explain the mistake, which led to
Countess - s dismissal from court
attendance.
Nothing pleased the Empress more
than attention from her husband, and
when, during the last war, he sent heI
the famous kilograms which all the
world read and knew came through her,
her delight was positively ch,ldlike.
From this point dated a renewal of
their friendly relations, the one bone OF
contention being Bismarck and his fac
ton.
She was at no pains to conceal her
animosity toward the Chancellor, and,
although he knew her Importance, Bis
marck did not try in the least to curry
favor with her. An instance of good
breeding was when large fair for the
wounded soldiers was held and the
Chancellor's wife was disputed to assist
the Empress and her daughter in-law
one day at one of the stalls. The ar
rangement had been made without her
Majesty's knowledge, and, although
knowing 1t to be q political trick, she
treated Nine. Bismarck with unfailing
courtesy, in fact, allowing her on vari-
Gus occasions to take the lead; but. as
the Crown Princess afterward told a
friend of mine, 1T was a triumph over
inclination such as she had not believed
even the self-controlled Empress to be
capable of"

our hostess proudly assured US was
homemade.
Il might have guessed that by its
honesty said Jack Briggs, gallantly;
1T is four times heavier than anything
l ever saw from bakery. Nothing
like weight, my dear madam
Matthew Martyr was looking across
the table at me, with a piece OF whor-
tleberry pie upon his fork.
More dough for the ribs and lungsl'
he whispered, with wan and spiritual
smile; and the piece of pie d sappearei.
My friends Briggs and De Vavasour,
taking advantage of the absence OF
Mrs. Skillet and her daughter, who
were in the kitchen, penetrated that
apartment of mysteries. What they
saw there shall never be revealed in
print; but they returned with blood i'll
their eyes, and fierce anger in their
hearts. The next day, at breakfast,
they made themselves so disagreeable to
the hostess that she decided to refund
to the three of US the money we had
advanced if We would only leave the
house at once. This was satisfactory
to US, and we soon after left her select
and aristocratic house forever.
As our baggage was being driven
away, and we shook the dust from our
shoes at the foot of the stately brown
stone stcop, thin, transparent hand
waved a farewell 10 me from sky
parlor window. 1t was that of young
Mr.. Matthew Martyr, and 1 sighed
cOmmlseratingly, for l felt convinced
that the only vehicle that would ever
convey him from the mansion of Skillet
would be hearSe.

The Beauties Of AndaIusIa.

As regards her stature and mold, the
Anialusian girl is almost invariably a
petite brunette, and, although not all are
plump and many are too stout, the ma.
Jorlty have eXquisitely symmetrical
tapering limbs, well developed bus. S
(tidt chested women are almost un-
known in SPAIN, and the most dainty
and refined hands and feet. Regarding
these feet, Gautier makes the most as
founding assertion that, without any
poet C eXaggeration, it wound be easy
ere in Seville TO find women whose
feet an infant might hold in its hands.
y French girl of seven or eight could
not wear the shoes of an AndaluSian of
twenty" L am glad to attest that, if
the feet of Sevillian women really were
50 mOnstrously small fifty years ago,
they are so no longer. 1t is discourg-
ing to see man like Gautier fall into
The vulgar error of fancying that, be-
cause a small foot is a thing of beauty,
therefore the smaller the foot the more
beautiful 1t must be. Beauty of feet,
hands and wais is matter of proper
tlOn, not of absolute size, and too small
feet, hands and waists are not beauti-
full, but ugly. We might as well argue
that, since a mans foot ought to be
be larger than woman's, therefo-e e the
larger his foot. the more he has of manly
beauty. If Andalusian women real Y
had feet SO small that baby might
hold them in its hands, they would
not be able to wal. at all, or at least
not gracefully. But it is precisely their
graceful gait and carriage for which
they are most famed and admired. All
spanish women are graceful as COM
pared with the VIC men of other nat ons,
but among them all the Andaluslans
are pre-eminent in the poetry of motion
and this is probably the reason that, al
though regular facial beauty is pei haps
commoner i'll Madrid than in Seville, |
found that you cannot pay greater
compliment to girl in Northern Spain
tlIan by asking her If she IS an Andalu-
sian. IL would be useless TO seek among
land animals for gait comparable to
that of the women of Seville, CadiZ.
Malaga and Granada; and when you
compare it with the motion of a swan
on the water, a fish in the water, bird
IN the air. it is the birds and fishes that
must feel complimented.- .-ScrtJner' q

WITH a third of the Winter gone
and not a pound of ice harvested any
where In the country, the outlook tor a
crop Of the cooling material for next
summer is anything but bright. Even
when in other neIghborhoods the pros
Pect looked dubious at this season,
Maine and New Hampshire could lie
depended upon to furnish ample sup
ply. This year, however, those two
States were as destitute Of ice on the
urst OF January "a the district around
Philadelphia Is. Last year at this time
there was a third Of the crop left oveI
from the large supply gathered in the
previous winter. This reserve added
10 the scant crop of last winter proved
70 be enough for the demands OF a cool
summer. But there will be no stock
left over this year and the country will
have to depend upon what can be gath
cred between this date and spring. So
the prospect is more than usually du-
blous. but Jack Frost may have some
meteorological surprises in store.

THERE is no complaint of a want oil
"seasouanle' winter weather in the
Rocky Mountain region, where trains
are blocaaied and some passengers are
reported to have died from exposure.
Snow storm follows snow storm, and
the arduous work Of releasing a train
may be uldone in a few hours by
another storm, or by what is just as bad
cold weather and a brisk wind which
drifts the snow back again into the
cuts. The tram hands work at disad-
vantage, being far from supplies and
liable 70 be themselves cut eff. One of
the trains has been showed up for eleven
days, and the reports of bad weather
give little promise of early relief. With
the thermometer marking 80 degrees
below zero. as it did in Nevada recently
there is itGle opportunity for effective
work.

Her Wish.

II wish my fairy would come to day,
And brush the dust from these rooms away;
The cobwebs. too. on the ceiling high.
Empty traps with never fly
Glow horrid they look, upon my life,
The torment Of every tidy wifeI
Il wish my fairy my place would take
In the kitchen, and let me see her bake.
.'For I'm so weary really dread
The thought OF kneading q batch Of bread"
Her husband heard her wish that day,
But scarcely needing II, hurried away.
At night he locked his office door,
And gladly entered his home once more.
As round the cosy room he glanced
HIS eyes with pleasure fairly danced
The fre-dogs Of polished brass.
For FURNISHED gold almost would pass
His easy-chair was In its place
Besides 4 beamed a smiling face.
No wonder that he turned to her,
Hail husband and half worshiper,
And SAID: Some fairy has had full sway
In every nook Of our house TO day"
Forgotten were dust and cobwebs high.
Ana there was light in somebody's eye;
For the heaviest tasks that burden a wife
SFOw light when they brighten anOtIers life.

states that when boy he remembers
the table being IN the possession of his

The fight between French snd

beuug Tor years is likely to be devel-
opei 10y the motion Of Dalton McCar,
tny 70 abolish French as the official Ian

not disguise the fact that ne wants TO
break down the French influence in

r.t % the interests OF the Dominion
The French Canadians will naturall,
have something to say on that subject.
While McCaTthy's motion may not, in
itself, be Of much Importance, it may
be the small be-inninning OF a great
change m Canada, and should therefore
have a note made OF it.

ing to our fruit growers in that thew have
been the means of introducing our frn;ts
to thousands OF mouths in the Eastern
States that previously, on account of
high prices, had never tasted. and
thereby proved the superior excellency
of California dried fruits. This has
created demand which we cannot sup.
ply, and the demand will continue 10
grow with the rapidly increasing popula.

the better. Let us plant lemons, but let
us not plant them in situations not 80
we'll adapted to them as to some other
products, or where they will grow only
at disadvantage. Let us not plant
them in hot back valleys, for
they are nearly always correspond

extremely sensitive to frost, and let us
not plant them in the cold, frosty valleys
near the coast, for the same reason. My
