The Baby King,

The anecdotes current about little
Don Alfonso are simply innumerable,
and appealing as they do to every
mothers heart, go far toward increas-
ing the popularity of the throne
throughout Spain.
He is exceedingly frank and unre-
strained in the expression of his opin-
ions, especially when they concern the
personal appearance of his lieges; and
although extremely disconcerting to
the parties Immediately concerned,
they constitute source of delight to
everybody else. It was only with the
greatest difficulty that his mother was
able to impress upon him the necessity
of abstaining from making remarks of
this character in an audible tone of
voice at church. Her establishments,
however, bore unexpected fruit. The
king manifestly took it for granted
that the instructions to remain quiet
and silent during divine service applied
to others as well as to himself; for
shortly afterward, when the royal
family and the court attended mass in
state at the Attocha Church, little Don
Alfonso suddenly interrupted the
preacher in the midst of one of his
most impassioned and eloquent pero-
rations by commanding him, in a shrill
and piping tone of voice, to be still,
and not to make ''such a noise in
church. "-Harper's Weekly.

From the New England Magazine.
By law of William and Mary.

who resided in certain parishes, or in
the city OF Westminster, whose house
adjoined or was near the street.

upon the pain to forfeit the sum of
two shillings for every default" Ar
rangements might, however, be made
with two or more justices of the
peace for the establishment of lamps
in the streets at certain intervals.
This law seems to have prompted
similar legislatiOns in the town of
New York, in 1897, in an order re-
curing every seventh house to hang
out a lamp upon pole. New York
thus antedates all other American
towns in this respect by nearly sixty
years.
The next town in order OF time,
and the first in New England, is New
port. Here, however, street lamps
were hung out of shop windows and
houses, and this was due to private
enterprise. In 1751 the town petit
toned the General Assembly of
Rhode Island to pass q law for the
protection of these lamps, as willful
and malicious persons would often
break them.

Thirteen a Lucky Number.

The old superstition that the pum-
Der thirteen is unlucky is supposed to
have it's origin as far back as the last
supper. when Judas betrayed his Lord
and afterwards hung himself. There
are, however, instances where thirteen
has been a lucky number, as in a
bakers Dozen where one loaf is added
to the dozen for luck
There is also an account of a British
soldier in the reign of William and
Mary who was court-martialed for
having fallen asleep at midnight, when
on sentry guard upon the terrace at
Windsor. He most solemnly declared
that he was innocent of the offense and
to prove it swore that he heard the
clock Tom of Westminster strike thir-
teen when it should have struck twelve.
The court refused to believe that he
could hear the clock at that great dis
lance and sentenced him to death,
but when a number of people came
forward and made affidavit that the
clock actually did strike thirteen on
that same night he was pardoned.

Killing Rats BY Electricity.

Victor Poissant, a young electrician

his own manufacture One wire, con-
Meeting with the dynamo, is fastened

take of his life. The circuit is COM

and almost without culver he pass

Two Bidders,

An Iowa man, who is q great lover
OF horses, and who keeps a grocery
store and a livery stable, was deslrous
OF obtaining a certain horse which
was to be disposed of at public sale
OF q gentleman's estate. He knew that
it would never do for him to bid in
person, as the auctioneer, aware of his
weakness for fine animals, would
manage by one means or another to
run up the price. The story is
told in the Chicago Herald:
The grocer and livery-keeper ar
ranged to have another man bid off
the horse for him, but when the hour
of the sale arrived he felt that he must
represent, and see that his instructions
were carried out.
He arrived little late, and just as
the horse was being sold. Yes, there
was his man Jones, true to his trust,
in the midst Of the crowd that sur
rounded the fine animal. Just at that
moment Jones bid one hundred and
five dollars.
Some one must have immediately
nodded five better, for in another
moment Jones bid one hundred and
fifteen. From some unseen bidder
the auctioneer received another ad-
vance of five dollars.
That was as much as the horse was
worth, but Jones had orders to buy
it at almost any price, and he
promptly raised his offer to one hun
dred and twenty. So matters went
on till Jones's bid was one hundred
and thirty-five dollars.
At that point the livery keeper
mounted box to see what fool
wanted the horse so badly. On the
further edge of the crowd stood Smith,
and just as he nodded another five, it
flashed upon the livery-keeper that he
had told Smith to do exactly what, in
his forgetfulness, he had afterward
instructed Jones to do.
He lost no time in stopping the fun,
which had already cost him about
forty dollars. =

SELFISH BARNUM.
AL Through Life the Snowman Was ONLY
for Himself

| ~SAA AAAo Cno snowman Was Only
| FOR Himself. ..~.- 49,
When T. T. Barnum wrote and pub-
llshed his memoirs he expected to
make good deal of money out of the
book. lie was not the man to engage
In an enterprise which did not promise
| to remunerate him handsomely. Yet
the BOOK was, practically, fiat failure,
| nor did it have any sale to speak of
until William c.. Coup entered into a
business partnership with Barnum.
One OF the first things Coup did,
writes Eugene Field in the Chicago
news, was to suggest that the sale of
the memoirs be pushed, but Barnum
pooh-poohed the idea. Barnun in
sisted that the book was a failure,
that it had cost him a great deal of
time and money and that he was sorry
ne had ever undertaken it; he was for
letting it drop altogether out of sight.
Coup urged his proposition with such
persistence, however, that Barnum
finally consented to give Coup half the
profits on the sale of the books and
the first thing Coup did was to hire a
capable agent into whose hands he
committed a large number of the
volumes for sale under the big circus
tent. Then he advertised the memoirs
IN flaming style, and on certain DAYS
ne gave away copy of the book to
each purchaser of a ticket to the show.
In this wise the memoirs became
widely known and there began to be a
demand for the work. Three hundred
Thousand copies had been disposed of
and the scheme had begun to return
handsome profits when Barnum, who
was VIGOROUSLY the incarnation of
seltlshness, complained because he had
let Coup into sharing so handsome a
business. He had lived the life, he
said, and he had written the book,
therefore he ought to have all the re-
turns. He did not recognize or at
least he would not admit that the enor-
nous sale of the work had been ac-
complished by Coup's ingenuity and
persistence. Barnum-like, he wanted
not only all the glory, but also all the
money; with him it was ssaut sus, aut
nihil''-the whole hog or none! So un-
remitting and so tedious and so child
lsh was Barnum in his opportunities
that Coup, disguised and wornout bv
his partners selfish winnings, finally
said: Take the books, if you will. T
would rather forfeit every penny 7
possess than to be compelled to exist a
martyr to your petty meanness and in.

SmokingIs a Bad Habit.

One of the best evidences that
smoking is a fatal habit is to be
cleaned from the fact that when a
New York reporter goes out to get the
story of a. murder or suicide he is
almost sure to find a smoking revol-
yer" lying beside the body. It doesn't
seem to make much difference howlong
the victim has been dead and cold
and stiff, the revolver is still smoking.
This shows not only that smoking is
a fatal practice, but that it is habit
which, when it is once fixed, is very
hard to break off. And this calls to
mind the story of a stabbing ARRAY
as told by New York journal a. few
days ago. One man had jabbed an
other with a penknife. The blade had
gone through the victims overcoat.
coat, vest, shirt and undershirt, and
had penetrated the epldermis far
enough to start the blood. The story
was dramatically told so dramat-
lcally, indeed, that when a. policeman
came to separate the combatants and
the stabee walked away, the stabber
presented a terrible appearance.
"In his right hand" says the report,
che held a knife, the open blade Of
which was dripping with blood" If the
police can manage to keep that knife
dripping until the victim dies and the
murderer is brought to trial, they
will have a case that would convince
any jury'-Detroit Free Press.

Jews as Soldiers.

According to statistics, says the jew
ish World, a large proportion of sol.
diers of all arms in the austro- Hun
garian regiments who have received
medals and decorations for conspicuous
bravery on the battlefield are Jews.
"a further striking testimony to the
