HIS LITTLE MAJESTY. !
Some Pleasant Stories About the Baby
 King of Spain.

Some Pleasant Stories About the Baby
 King of Spain.
 It would probably be hotly disputed by millions of indignant households if one should say that the little three year-old King of Spain is the best-be- loved baby under the eye of public notice, but of certainty he is the most widely known. All his sayings and doings are sufficiently interesting to be put in print, and those who love babies smile as they read, and declare, with gracious tolerance, that he is almost as nice baby as ours."
 The little King has had happy sum- mer at San Sebastian, where he enjoys more freedom than at Madrid. Every morning at eight o'clock he steps out on the balcony of the royal chateau, where crowds of children wait for him to ap- pear. Many of them he knows by name, and, leaning over the railing, he car ries on the quaintest and most familiar of conversations with them all. Pres entIy a little tap is heard on the win dow and his Majesty retires, crying: "Ada0s dW re00ar! Imust go. Mamma is waiting for me-"
 Shortly after he appears on the sands, where he digs and paddles to his hearts content.
 When he goes out to drive the royal halberdiers range themselves on either side the stairs and, as soon as he is seat ed, he turns to their chief, saying, grave ly, as he has been instructed:
 Let them retire."
 Evidently young royalty is prone to forget the restrictions of time and place as completely as children not bound about by ceremony.
 General Juan de Cordova is a great favorite of the little King, who ad- dresses him familiarly as "Juanito" Qittle John) One day while seated be- side his mother at mass his Majesty caught sight of this friend kneeling in the nave oi the cathedral, and at once, amid one of tke solemn pauses, he be gan to shout with great glee:
 Hello, there's Juniato! Hello, there. Juanito Juanitor'
 It was only with great difficulty that the Queen and his governess could re- duce this enthusiastic little partisan to silence.-Youth's Companion.

THE LOVE OF HOME.
It Is the Saving Principle of a Republics
 Form of Government.

It Is the Saving Principle of Republican
 Form of Government.
 The man who kindles the fire on the hearthstone of an honest and righteous home burns the best incense of liberty. He does not love mankind less who loves his neighbor most. George Eliot has said: "A human life should be well rooted in some spot of a native land where it may get the love of tender kin ship for the face of the earth, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, a spot where the defniteness of early memories may be inwrought with affection and spread, not by sentimental effort and reflection, but as the sweet habit of the blest."
 The germ of the best patriotism is in the love man has for the home he in habits, for the soil he tills, for the trees that give him shade, and the hills that stand in his pathway. I teach my son to love Georgia-to love the soil that he stands on-the body of my old mother the mountains that are her springing breasts, the broad acres that hold her substance, the dimpling valleys in which her beauty rests, the forests that sing her songs of lullaby and of praise, and the brooks that run with her rippling laughter.
 The love of home, deep-rooted and abiding, that blurs the eyes of the dying soldier with the vision of an old home stead amid green fields and clustering trees, that follows the busy man through the clamoring world, persistent, though put aside, and at last draws his tired feet from the highway and leads him through shady lanes and well-remem- bered paths until amid the scenes of his boyhood he gathers up the broken threads of his life and owns the soil his conqueror-this, lodged in the heart ot the citizen, is the saving principle ot our Government. We note the barracks of our standing army, with it's rolling drum and its fiuttering flag, as points of strength and protection. But the citi. zen standing on the doorway of his home, contented on his threshold, his family gathered about his hearthstone, while the evening of a well-spent day closes in scenes and sounds that are dearest-he shall save the republic when the drum tap is futile and the barracks are ex- hausted.-Editor Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution.

THE 1hlRErAN WOMAN.
An Independent and Buxom Dame, Well
 Knit and Sturdy.

Knit and Sturdy.
 A point to be noticed here is the free dom with which women of all grades go about from place to place; in the shops, in the streets, in the vaulted entries which give access to every dwelling house. The Thibetan female is an inde- pendent and buxom dame, very unlike her Hindoo sister across the border. Her frame is well-knit and sturdy; she can carry any weight you like on her back. Moreover, there is jollity about her smile and general department which would be very engaging if she made her self little better acquainted with the wash-bowl. Though she rarely uses water for ablutionary purposes, the black stains which cover the Thibetan woman's face are not due to dirt. It Is custom, said to be founded on strict law enacted two hundred years ago, for all the adult females to stain their faces with blotches of a black dye styled tu5ja. This disfgurement, which originally was ordered for the purpose of subduing the natural attractiveness of the female face to the other sex, forms almost complete dis guise to the countenance. In reality a Thibetan girls face is most comedy and pretty. Before the blackening process her cheeks are as picturesquely ruddy as any Scotch lassie's, and, as the pigment wears of, the ripe wall-fruit glow which the keen mountain air insists on pro lucing is continually to be seen over coming the sooty patches. Higher-class Thibetan gomen frequently traverse the streets of L'hassa on small white horses9 seated astride the animals back. They generally have intellectual faces, and are often in truth highly educated and learned. Every better-class female in the streets of L'hassa wears head dress called pa-tstk, not unlike an old fashioned English travelling cap, with long, turned-down ear flaps. This is often studded with turquois and pieces of coral; sometimes, in the case of a wife of State Chancellor (Kalon), with em- eralds, rubies and pearls. Its use is very ancient. Another characteristic part of the women's dress is the bib or breast cover, styled pa'egde''. - Nine teenth Century.

The Women of Ceylon.

A woman in Ceylon, as elsewhere in non-Christian lands, is simply chattel without rights as a human being. She can be bought for almost any purpose at deplorably low price. Of course, if she is educated, if she can sing, play and dance, if she is intelligent, her money value is enhanced; yet she still remains nothing more or less than marketable piece of property. Many of the poor of that island sell their little girls to men and women who rear them for a life of infamy-a life of death to body, m1nd and spirit. The mothers of these un- happy innocents, having as rule some natural affection which the fathers have not, seek to dispose of their girls among Christians, in order to avert so terrible fate. A relative of mine, while mak- ing recent tour over the island, was again and again accosted by such moth CTS, their children in their arms, begging her to accept them as gift. ''She nice little girl. You have her for nothing" i" It went hard with my friend to refuse this plea.-N. Y. Tribune.

HARDENING THE BRAIN.

While we were waiting at the depot il
a small town i'll Arkansas, coloreC
woman come up and asked if any one oi
the six white men was a doctor. One
of them proved to be, and she rolled hel
check apron in her hands in a fussy
way and asked if he wouldn't list steI
ober to de cabin an see what allied hel
old man." He found that he had time
and said that he would go, and two ol
three of us went along to see what we
could see As we drew near the cabin
the woman halted us and said:
"rze bin all de doctah he's had. an
Tze willing to allow dat might hel
made some mistakes. When he was
first tooken l gin him turnip-seed tea
Was dat right, doctah?"

"Wellmf
''Wall, if dere has been any mistake,

We went in and the doctor examined
the patient and found he had a broken
rib, and told him what to do for it. AS
we left the cabin the woman followed us
out and exclaimed:
''Fo' de Lawd, doctah, but what a

WHY ARE YoU HERE?

Did you ever wonder why you are
here? Did you ever stop to ask the
question? And did you ever try to
answer it? ...
You are not here to live for yourself
You are not here solely that you may
eat, and drink, and put money i'll the
bank. You are not here for the sake of
giving big sums to churches and col
lcges when you die, and so transmitting
your name to posterity. You are not
here to tread down and trample under
foot those weaker than yourself; neither
are you here that you may be happy and
prosperous.
You are here to mould your mind and
your characterize fashion all that part
of yourself which will survive death
into an individuality which you will in
herit in the next life. ...
Try to remember that whatever you
are here, that you will be there. Do you
for a moment suppose that death has
the power to charge q mean, stingy,
revengeful man into generous, re-
vengeful man into generous, charitable,
high-minded being, who will be living
Joy to all with whom he comes in con-
tact?
Why the thing is not possible.
You might as well plant potato and
expect a crop of Hubbard squashes.
When you consider that the character
you making here is the one which is
going to stick to you through countless
ages, it is worth your while to put your
self to a little Inconvenience to form it
so that it will be comfort to you and
not distress.
1t will pay you to be honest. 1t will
pay men here to do things about right
You will sleep better, eat bettes, digest
better, need fewer pills and tonics, and
be a better looking man generally, If
you are true to yourself, than if you
switch off from the main linelof business
integrity on to the side track of selfish
ness and double dealing.
1t may be hard for you always to give
the full measure and the right weight.
You may be tempted to pass on some
unsuspecting friend the half dollar with
a hole in it that has been filed. You
may be tempted to sell that spawned
horse of yours for a sound one.
And it is in the little things fife that
your danger lies. The hasty word, the
unfeeling taunt, the small kindness re-
fused, the lack OF thought, the little
meanness practiced when you thought
nobody saw you, the small sin committed
which nobody knew. All! butyou knew
it all yourself, and the knowledge that
you have done it has blotted the white
ness Of your soul, and stained the purity
of your conscience; and the conse-
quences will be felt in eternity.
Think well of it, then, before you live
any but a pure and honest life, and re-
member that here, as well as hereafter,
you have the power of shaping your own
destiny.-Kdfe ThOrne, IN NeD York

Some Baking Powders
Lose Their Strength Quickly.

For twenty-five years the Royal Baking Powder
Company has refused to be controlled by the mania of
its compettors-to produce cheap baking powder at
the sacrifice of quality wholesomeness Some lower
cost brands being pushed the market which
made of inferior materials and lose their strength
quickly after the is opened At the second
third baking there will be noticed falling off in strength
tits always the that the suffers in pocket
not in health by accepting any substitute for the Royal
Baking Powder especially when the substitute is offered
on the ground that it is cheaper.
The Royal Baking Powder is the embodiment of all
the excellence that it is possible to attain in abso
luely pure powder. 1t is always strictly reliable 1t is
only more economical because of its greater strength,
but will retain its full eavenng power until used, and
make more wholesome food.
Was there ever any article of human consumption
that has many friends among housekeepers as the
Royal Baking Powder?

HINTS TO DAIRYMEN.

Milk from cows in good health and
apparent contentment only should be
used.
Until after the eighth milking it
should not be offered to cheese
factory.
An abundant supply of cheap, succu-
lent, easily digestible, wholesome, nutri-
tious feed should be provided.
Pure cold water should be allowed in
quantities limited only by the cows
capacity to drink.
A box or trough containing salt, to
which the cows have access every day, is
a requisite indispensable in the profit
able keeping of cows.
Cows should be prohibited from drink
ing stagnant, impure water The re-
sponsibility for the efficacy of that
beneficial prohibition rests fully with
the individual farmer.
Milk leeks and other weeds common
to bush pastures give an offensive odor
and flavor to the milk of the animals
which eat them.
All the vessels used III the handling of
milk should be cleaned thoroughly i'm
ediately after their use. A washing in
| tepid or cold water, to which has been
added little soda, and a subsequent
scaldlng with boiling water, VIII pre-
pare them for airing, that they may re-
main perfectly sweet.
| Cows should be MIXED with dry hands,
and only after the udders have been
washed or brushed clean.
Tin pals only should be used.
All milk should be strained immedi-
ately after it is drawn.
Milking should be done and milk
should be kept only in place where the
surrounding air is puae. Otherwise the
presence of the tainting odors will moi
be neglected by the milk.
All milk should be aired Immediately
after it has been strained. The treat
ment is equally beneficial to the evening
and morning messes of milk.
In warm weather, all milk should b'
cooled to the temperature of the atmos
phere after it has been aired, but no
before.
Milk is better for being kept owe
night in small quantities, rather than |
large quantity in one vessel.
Milk stands should be constructed Il
shade from the sun the cans or vessel
containing milk, as well as to shelte
! them from rains. - FdTmer'S AdrOcdte.
