The proper way to clean books is to take
two of about the same size and strike their
sides smaraly together severiii times; until
all the dust is expelled, and not apply cloth
or daster to the gilt or leather. Books that
are in open eaAs2s, with simple curtain
hanging in front OF them, which can be
easily pushed back and forth on Il rod, re-
tain their freshness just as well as those
which are put in closed cases. More dust
will collect on books exposed, but it is a
dust which comes off readily,-New York

AN AMERICAN. KING.

Few have heard Of that other and rather
amusing American pretender, resident in
Paris, Orelio |, king of the Araucanians
Orelie is Frenchman, cheap lawyer,
with a taste for adventure. His travels
brought him to Chilli, in South America.
There he made his way By accident or de-
sign to a remote section of the republic
where the Araucanian Indians have for
ages maintained their independence He
lived among these Indians and won their
good will to such degree that the chief
tains elected him king of Araucania, and
he was formally crowned with that title.
AS king Orelie led the Araucanians in
forays, more or less successful, against
their Gillian neighbopg.
When he got tired of the masquerade,
which involved some peril as the Chilians
followed the new king up sharply, he
started for the coast, reaching it by the
way of Peru, and returned to Paris. Here
he still calls himself king of Araucania,
and he has instituted two or three orders
of nobility, which he confers for consid-
GRAFTON. The validity OF these orders and
his right to bestow them came up not long
ago before a Paris tribunal, the point at
issue really being whether Orelie was a
king or swindler.
The court decided that, inasmuch as he
had been accepted as king by a community
which exercised independent rights and
which would probably be willing to recog-
nize him again if be could get there, ne
was justified in using the royal prerogative
of comforting orders of nobility Since
this decision the kings business has -four
ished more than ever, and his decorations
go off like buckwheat cakes and maple

A KING AS WAITER.


The king of Araucania is a good deal
more fortunate than poor francesca of
Armenia, to whom have before alluded.
His full name and title is Francesca, king
of Armenia, prince of Jerusalem, and he
reditary guardian of the Holy Sepulcher.
At present his majesty is head waiter in
one of the small restaurants that dot the
vicinity of Versailles. 1t is many years
since Francesco's ancestors were driven by
the Turks from the throne of Armenia;
but there can be no doubt of the antiquity
and purple blood of the family. Descend
ed from q bold Crusader, they held their
kingly rank for ages, until the renewed ag
gressiveness of the Mohammedans and the
decline of Latin power in the east made
them fugitives.
Russia fer long time afforded them an
asylum, and gave the titular prince pen
sion But this was dropped about forty
wears ago, and since then the royal house
of Armenia has had to take its chances
with the multitude. The late king was
waiter at Milan; the present king is a wait
er at Versailles. Singularly enough the
restaurant is one favored by the radicals.
and the waiter of the bluest of blood is
called on to serve wine and refreshments
to the ardent opponents of thrones and
titles Few visitors, however, are awars
that the sous they hand to the waiter are
thankfully accepted by IL king, for Frances
co does not parade either his pedigree or
his misfortunes.
You may see here in Paris prince OF
Georgia driving cab, and one of the best
police agents in scion of the royal house
of Poland 10 go through the roll of royal
pretenders would occupy much time and
space 1t is probably longer than that OF
| monarchs who have crowns on their heads.

REAL PRETENDERS.

The eX-queen Of Spain, Isabella, takes
life comfortably, even lu:suriously, resid
ing in fashionable style in Paris, with oc-
casioEal trips to Nice and Boulogne.
Italy has IA host Of preter<!ers deprived
of their toy crowns by the union of the
italian peninsula. OF these the house of
Tuscany is the most fortunate, as Austria
takes care of them, and the Archduks
Francis Salvador has recently married the
flower of the imperial family, the Arch
duchess Valerie The heir of Bomba's
crown of Naples is quiet. harmless young
man, strictly devoted to religion, and with
out any apparent design upon his ancestral
doninions. Indeed the deposed italian
princes generally acquiesce in their fate, as
hopeless Of any change. All, without ex
ception, are fairly we'll provided for.
Dom Pedro, the deposed emperor of the
Brazils, is the most unhappy of ex-rulers
The death of his wife was a terrible blow
to him, and he hungers to be permitted to
go back to Brazil to die. AS he has never
formally renowned his claim to the crown
he can fairly be called pretender Dom
Pedro is far from wealthy While in cir
cumstances chat should dictate close econ
omy, he is so tender hearted that he hest
tates to dismiss the retinue that is eating
up his substance, and consequently he
grows poorer every day. 1t would not be
surprising should the old gentleman be
compelled to accept the generosity of re-
publican Brazil

ROYAL BACK NUMBERS.
The KINGS UNcRoWNED, UNKNOWN
AND UNHONORED.

Retired Gentlemen and Genfeel Dead

WHO Is n vyaiter-Genuine Blue Blood
in Hard Luck-An American King.
A full list of royal and imperial pretend
ers would include all sorts of people in all
sorts of society from the retired and
wealthy no)leman, such us the Comte de
Paris, to Orelie, the self styled king of
Araucania, who is Il sort of genteel dead
beat, and Francesca, the titular king OF
Armenia, whose royal predecessor was a
waiter in Milan, who himself pursues the
same honest, if not kingly, occupation in a
restaurant at Versailles. AS u rule nearly
every king nowadays outside of the dark
est part of the Dark Continent has q snug
sum to his credit in English or American
securities, so that in the event of being put
out of a job he may have the wherewithal
to keep the wolf of poverty from the door.
The Comte de Paris. Bourbon pretender
to the throne of France, and now an exile,
is worth about two millions of dollars.
The bulk of his fortune is in British con-
soils, and he also draws interest OH United
States bonds.
Prince Jerome Napoleon, the leading
representative of the imperial house of
Bonaparte, lives in luxurious exile at
Prangins, Switzerland He has splendid
residence there, and owns among his treas
ures various relics of the Bonaparte fam
lily, including an Egyptian saber which the
great Napoleon carried in the first of his
Italian campaigns. Prince Napoleon is
wealthy and ambitious The Bonapartes
as ii rule are not in good financial circum-
stances, and the purse of Prince jerome is
taxed to keep his friends and relatives
from need.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Mr. Oates,
of Alabama, from the committee on the
Judiciary, to day reported to the House
u bill b prohibit aliens from acquiring
title, to or owning lands within the
United States. An elaborate report
accompanied the bill. In it the COM
mittce says:
The power Of the Government to
totally exclude aliens from coming
within its jurisdiction, ashas been done
in the case ofChinese, no one questions.
This sovereign power certainly includes
thelesser one Of defining what property
rights they may exercise after they are
admitted, and during the continuance
of their alie" condition. Your COM
mittee asccrtained with reasonable
certainty that certain noblemen Of
Europe, principally Englishmen, have
acquired, and now own in the aggre-
gate about twenty-one million acres Of
land within the United States.
We have not sufficient information
to state the quantity owned by un-
titled aliens, nor is it so important, as
it is generally held in smaller bodies.
This alien nonresident ownership will,
in course of time, lead to a system Of
landlordism incompatible with the
best Interests and free institutions of the
United States. The foundation Of such
system is being laid broadly in the
Western States and Territories.
The avarice and enterprise Of Euro
pean capitalists have caused them to
invest many millions 10 American
railroad and land bonds, covering,
perhaps, one hundred million acres, the
greater part of which, under foreclosure
sales, will most likely before many
years become the property of these
foreign bondholders, in addition to
their present princely possessions.
This aggressive foreign capital is not
confined to the lands it has purchased,
but overlapping its boundaries has
caused hundreds of miles of public
lands to te fenced up for grazing vast
herds of cattle, and set at defiance the
rights of honest, but humble settlers.
The bill proposes to place these aliens
under the disability of the civil law as
to all future attempts to acquire lands
in this country. Iu other words, the
bill is a declaration against absentee
landlordisln. It tdeclares all foreign born
persons who have not been naturalized
incapable OF taking title to lands any
where within the United States, eX-
cept as leasehold, for not exceeding five
years, and it has no retractive, but
prospective operation. 1t also con-
tains a provision which will compel
alien land owners to cease to be such,
or to become citizens of the United
States within ten years.
The tenth census shows that the
United States have $1,000 tenant farm
ers, the largest number possessed by
any nation in the world.
In conclusion, the report says: With
the natural increase in population, and
100000 foreigners who flock to our
shores annually, and by competition
are reducing the wages of labor, max
ing the battle of life harder to win, how,
few years hence, to provide homes for
American statesmen to solve. The
multiplication of owners of the soil is
corresponding enlargement ofthe num-
Der Of patriots, and every land owner
in this country should owe allegiance
to the United States.

LOVING AND LIKING.
fSu,.day School Times. I

"Loving" and "!iking' are often
used as if they merely indicated difte-
rent of affection TO ''like,n the die
tionary tells US, is 'to be pleased with
in mod,r t. degree - while to Glove"
is '.to delight ill.," or to havea "devoted
attachment.' II like him, but do
not love him" says one thereby mean
ing that the interest felt in him is a
very slight interest. "No one who
knows him can merely like him they
must love him. says another, who
would thus indicate that the feeling
insiTcd by him must always be of the
superlative degree. This understand
inT Of the words relatively is very we'll
as far Is it goes but neither word has
only single meaning. Each word
means one thing at one time, and
another thing at another time and

and to like The fruits that nature
brings to Us. 1t is this view of the case
that is taken by the poet Wordsworth,

"a LIGHT IN THE WINDOW"
The Beautiful Story on Which the Well
Known Song Was Founded
from the Louisville Times.

Few are probably the persons who
have not one time or other heard the
Sunday school song ga Light in the
Window" Unless I am mistaken
it is founded upon story told
upon the little island of Sylt, but
which might easily have its exact
counterpart on almost any seashore
where a mothers heart beats with
yearning love for her sailor son
and keeps its fond promise from night
to night.
Among the simple fisher folks on the
island lived woman and her son. He
Was her only child, the pride of her
heart as we'll as the source of constant
dread, for the boy loved the sea as his
father before had loved it, and nothing
gave him so much pleasure as to watch
the incoming tide tumble its curling
waves over the sands. No sooner was
he strong enough to WELD an oar and
steer a boat than he joined the men in
their fishing expeditions.
The mother, with all her fears, and
the fate of long line Of sailors in her
mind, yet would not have had
it otherwise, for it would have
been deemed dishonor among the har-
dy coasters to have kept The boy at
home or sent him safely at work for
some farmer. Whatever the dangers,
they must be faced for the sake of fam
lily pride. Had not the boys grand
father been a Captain when he went
away the last time: Had not his
father sailed his own ship when he
went down in great storm. The child
was the last of his race, but he must
not dishonor it by tame and cowardly
safety or shore. So the boy grew up,
tall of his age, straight as mast, nim-
BILE as the fleetest and handlest boat,
bue-eyed, fair-haired, true-hearted, a
real son of the sea. The fishermen
taught him the tricks of his craft until
he knew how to sail boat, splice a
rope, or do many little things which a
sailor must know. When ship was
in the ofting he was soon aboard, learn
ing the rigging and how work was
performed upon her. He was great
favorite among the longshore folks
and with the sailors, and when at last
his 18th year came around and he OBJ
tanned the consent of his mother to 60 to
sea, he easily found a good ship and Cap
tain. Then there was parting, and
tears shed by the mother, while he
looked forward into the great, wide
world with all the joyous eagerness Of
boy. But with her last blessing the
widowed mother promised that every
night a light should burn in the sea-
ward window Of her ottage to light
him homeward and t. show him that
she still lived, awaiting his return.
The ship sailed. Six months passed
and sailors dropped into the village and
told how she had been spoken and all
was we'll and the neighbors came to
the cottage and told the pleasant news
to the waiting mother, who nightly
trimmed the candle, lit it, and set in
the window to make bright path up
the sands. Again six months elapsed,
and other sailors arrived from far-off
lands, but they had no news to tell of
the ship. A great storm happened and
she was overdue. She might yet make
port, but-and the people shook their
heads and carried no tales to the widow,
whose candle burned brightly every

flower.
And love the strawberry IN its bower ;
But when the fruit so often praised
For beauty, to your lip is raised,
Saw not YOU lore the delicate treat,
Bit Hkr it, enjoy it, and thankfully
eat
You love your father and your mother,
Your grown-up and your baby brother
You love your sister, and your friends;
And countless blessings which God
sends:
And while those right affections play,
You Hue each moment Of your day;
They lead you on to full content,
And likings fresh and innocent,
That store the mind, the memory feed,
And prompt to many gentle deed.
But HkmgS come and pass away;
'Tis lore that remains till our latest
day:
Our heavenly guide is holy love,
And will be our bliss with saints
above"
This distinction also is a fitting one !;
but it does not exhaust or limit the
meanings Of two words severally. "Lik-
ing' has force in contrast with "lov-
ing" that goes deeper and out
reaches farther that would be indicated
by these suggestions.
TO "liken is often used as expressive
Of satisfaction with another, or with
another's ways; as growing out of a
similarity of recognized ideals. ''1like
to see man as thoughtful Of others as he
is :" II like his high sense Of honor =
II like his reverent spirit y II like
such sensitiveness and delicacy as he
shows - 81 like him, because ofhis un'
selfish devotion to his mother, "-such
expressions as these indicate great
deal more than selfish pleasure in the
conduct of the one criticised. They
have even greater force than would
have the phrase II love him dearly"
"Liking" another, in this sense, is ap'
proving the standard of the liked and
so far it is a step beyond loving him.
We can even love another without
liking him and we can he loved while
we are not liked. 4 wife can love {
worthless or ell unloving husband
when she cannot like him. a mother
can dearly love reprobate and un
grateful son, whom it is impossible fo1
her to like. To love is to hold dear
To like is to approve and commend
Loving does not always carry liking
with it, any more than liking Away:
carries loving. We can approve ant
commend and like one toward WHOM
we have no feelings of love; and W.
may even be better liked by those wht
do not love us than by those who 1o.
1t is pleasant to be loved. 1t is goot
to be liked. Best Of all it is to be botl
loved and liked. We can be loved by
those whose judgments condemn US
We shall be liked by those whose judg
ments approve our ideals, and whose
discernment recognizes our steady
struggling toward those ideals. If The
choice must be made by us, it were bet
ter to deserve to be liked by the wist
and good, than to win love apart from
the question of our deserts. If, how.
ever, we deserve to be liked, we are
not likely to live and die unloved il
the world.
