A KING AND HIS sQUIRreuN.
Why Alfonso, of Spain, Has Exchanged a
Governess for q Tutor.

Why Alfonso, of Spain, Has Exchanged a
Governess for Tutor.
The decision of the queen regent Of
Spain to supplant the governess Of lit
tie King Alfonso with an able-bodied
tutor has a short and curious history.
Last winter, says the New York Sun,
one of the kings relatives took to him
from Vienna a toy squirtgun which he
was expected to use in watering his
garden. The squirtgun became at once
the kings pet toy, and he did not hest
tate to find all sorts of uses for it which
were not conducive to the comfort of
his little playmates or to the dignity of
the women of the court. A few weeks
ago at garden party Alfonso had hid
himself behind q shrub and shouted to
big general in a light-blue and gold
uniform. The general approached the
shrub, and Alfonso held up a handful
of flowers to induce HIM to come nearer.
When close to the shrub the point of
the kings Viennese squirtgun suddenly
appeared in the leaves, and in a second
the fine light-blue and gold uniform
was spotted and dripping. The general
backed quickly out of range, and be-
fore Alfonso could reload and follow
up his victory, was safe from further
hostilities and under the protecting eye
of the queen regent.
Alfonso then tried to lure into am
bush Mgr. Raffaelle Merry del Val, son
of the Spanish ambassador at Vienna,
but the young prelate had seen the gen
erals plight and was wary enough to
keep several persons between him and
his sovereign all the rest of the after
noon.
On the following day it was decided
at the royal palace that a masculine
hand was needed to lay heavy on AL
fonso, and the cautious Mgr. Merry del
Val was selected to train his majesty.

WHY HORSES GO LAME.

A Dark Secret of the Stable From the
Coachman.
A coachman who Is up to the tricks
Of his trade says that there are more
ways than one for an honest coachman
to make living.
''Of course" he explained, mo boss
is goin' to buy horse without consult
ing his coachman- If he does, that
horse will go lame, sure"
"How's that?"
It'll go lame, sure, and the boss'n
have to sell it for what he can get, and
lucky if he can get half the price.
Then he won't try to cheat an honest
coachman out of his commission. Not
the second time, see?''
Thereupon the honest coachman ex-
planned why a "boss" who buys a horse
without consulting the autocrat of his
sta bles is sure to have a lame animal
on his hands
"It's this away" he remarked, ''any
honest man as respects himself will
pull hair out of that horses tail and
thread it in a needle. Then he'll lift
up that front leg of that horse and
'hunch up in his fingers the skin be-
tween the outer and middle tendons,
see? Shove the needle through, cut off
the hair at each end, and let down the
foot There's nothing to see, is there?"
Suppose not"
"Well, that horse'n go lame in twenty
minutes. "-Chicago Tribune.

ALL ABOUT FLIES.
A Genius Who Is Fully Posted on the Pes
tiferOus Insects,

A Genius Who Is Fully Posted on the Pes
tiferOus Insects.
The man who sells fly-traps on Ran
dolph street is bald, and that is why
he has given his business extra atten-
ton. He is a genius on the subject of
flies. He said to the writer: THE
house fly is a great traveller, but he
does not migrate in the sense that
birds do. 1t is the ability of the fly to
multiply rapidly that has always been
a source of wonder to me, and it has
caused me to feel friendly to the fly
when others were trying to down him.
There are always a few flies left over
after every summer. No matter how
cold the weather may be there are al
ways some flies that go into winter
quarters and there are on hand in the
spring ready to go into business. 1t
takes tly-egg about twelve hours to
show evidence of activity. 1t is first a
worm; then it takes wings when about
ten days old. If a fly is healthy, and l
never saw delicate one, it will lay
three hundred and twenty eggs in one
season, that is, in one summer. l have
some calculation about the multiplicity
of the insect. l find that the descend
ants of single one may, from the first
day of June to the close of Septem Der,
exceed two millions. Where do they
all go? The bald-head thinks they call
on him: They do not all have fun.
They ae the food of many birds, bats,
owls and certain class of worms. If
it were not so there would be no such
thing as living in summer. l read that
a bounty has been offered by the Illi-
nOis Legislature on the little birds which
chatter about our streets. 1t is mis-
take. You have no idea how many
flies they destroy. l think if this fact
becomes known and we can elect
enough bald-headed men to our next
legislature that we can have the bill
offering bounties on the street birds
repealed. Such an agitation in the can
vass will make bald heads POPULAR

THE sugar bounty of two cents a
pound is direct step toward socialism,
but it is roundabout socialism that even
ii socialist of moderate business capacity
would disapprove. If government col
lected from the consumers seven cents Il
pound on sugar instead cf two, and paid
the seven cents to the sugar trust, the
progress towards this species IF social
ism would be complete, and the trust
could give TIE consumers their sugar
free. Republican organs would no
doubt make a big Drag over such IA con-
summation, but people who now ignore
the fact that they pay the trust indi-
rectly two cents pound through taxa
ton could not shut their eyes to the fact
that they would then, as now, pay full
value for sugar although they would get
it free from their grocer. OF course,
the trust would do no such thing as
give up its power to further tax the con-
sumner, merely because government col
lected and paid over to it all the sugar
it handled was worth. but if such
sOcialistic work was to be done by the
government at all, it would be vastly
better to cut the trust clear out of the
calculation and let the government both
raise and distrihnte the sugar crop.

SENATOR CHANDLER, chairman of the
senate committee on immigration, has
fired the first gun in what may be a
serious fight in congress, by writing a
letter to the secretary of the treasury
setting forth his views as to the legality
of that officials action in accepting
bonds, insuring that they should not be
come public charge, and permitting
the landing of any prohibited class.
The Russian Jews recently permitted to
land, upon the Jews in this country
giving a bond to the treasury depart
ment that they should not become a
charge upon the public, are the targets
aimed at. Mr. Chandler says that con-
gress never intended when the prohibi
tory laws were enacted to authorize any
such system, and it is fair to assume
that he proposes that the matter shall
be brought to the attention of congress.
Treasury officials say that written
opinions have been furnished that de-
partment by AttOrney-Genera Garland
under the Cleveland administration, and
by AttOrney-General Miller under the
present administration, to the { fleet that
such bonds may be taken at the dis
erection of the secretary of the treasury.

Secretary Proctor's Successor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The opinion
prevails here that the appointment Of Mr..
Proctor to be the successor Of Mr.. Ed
mundS in the Senate was timed so as to
add to the pleasure Of the Presidents visit
to Vermont as Mr.. Proctor's guest The
President is very fond Of Mr.. Proctor, and
thinks him man of great merit.
There is, of course, a good deal of specu-
lation as to the filling of the Cabinet va
cancy. The situationNis such, however,
that the President Is not to be hurried in
choosing the new man. Mr.. Edmunds'
resignation from the Senate does not take
effect until November, and consequently
there will be nothing to prevent Mr.
Proctor remaining in the Cabinet until
his term as Senator begins. This, of
course, he will do If the President should
desire it.
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent will call on the East to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the transfer of Mr..
Proctor from the Cabinet to the Senate,
and that Vermont may yet get the place.
Gen Veazey's name has for some time
been mentioned in connection with it.
His relations with the President are cor
dial and his executive capacity is rated
we'll here. His prominence in Grand
Army circles adds to his strength with
the President.
1t is recalled, too, that in his speech
last week at the Bennington monument
celebration the President took occasion to
speak highly of Gen. Veazey, and testi4
fed thus publicly to his admiration for
him.
The appointment Of Gen. Veazey to the
Secretaryship of War would create an
other vacancyin the Board Of Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, but that
would only give the President an oppor-
tunity to reorganize that board, some
thing that he has for some time desired
to do.

One per cent. of all German children
in city schools stutter. In Dresden the
percentage (two) is highest. In mil

forty suffered, and in several civilians
schools the percentage has been found
to be as large. Many German physi-
clans are advocating the separation of
the suffering school children from the
Bmooth-tongued and the instruction Of
them in department of their own.
