The KING oE SPAIN.
An Ancient Spani 'h Custom stiil Observed
by the Queen.

An Ancient Spani n Custom stu Observed
by the Queen.
The little king of spain is very FRANK
and unrestraincd in his expression OF
opinions. and sometimes makes per-
sonal remarks about his subjects of
sort seldom indulgcd in by older and
more diplomatic kings. He is very mis-
chievous. but his attendants, in keeping
him ont of scrapcs, have to take great
care not to impair the dignity of his
most Catholic majesty" Harper's
Weekly. from which this sketch IS
taken. says that footman who put out
his arms AMI caught the king one day
when the little fellow tripped, and was
about 90 iall headlong downstairs, was
dismissed from his post for having
dared to touch. with his plebeian hands,
the ROYAL person. True, the queen re-
wardcd the man with large sum of
money, and gave him another situation.
but even she could not retain him in the
household,
On Good Friday, according to Gus
tom which has prevailed in Spain since
the sixteenth century, seven criminals
received pardon. AS soon as vcspers
were over in the chapel of the royal
palace, the cardinal archbishop of To-
lcdo stopped down from the high altar,
and approached table on which were
laid seven rolls Of parchment.
Each roll contained the full pardon
of prisoner lying under sentence OF
death, and had. few hours previously
received the regents signature, Placing
his hand on these rolls, according tc
custom. the chaplain asked the queen
"Senora, does your majesty grant
pardon to these criminals"
With a tender glance mt the little boy
whose hand she held she replied:
sin the name Of the king. my son,
pardon these persons, as look to Goo
to grant His pardon and mercy to us
Amen
The rolls were then placed on Tho
high altar. and, after prayer and ben
ediction, delivered to the minister o
Justice

Seeing by Touch.

A Russian physician is credited with
the invention Of an instrument by
which persons totally blind are able to
perceive light through the sense of
touch The instrument converts light
rays into a thermo-electro current,
which is perceived by the nerves of the
skin covering the forehead when the APP
paratus is placed upon that part OF the
body. The sensations produced by the
instrument are thus described by the
inventor: 1.-THE presence of an illum-
mated object is manifest in the per-
ceptible field as a sensation of warmth.
The degree of sensation Of warmth in
creases with the approach OF the illum-
mating object and vice versa. A move.
ment OF the feeling OF warmth toward
the right shows that the light has
moved to the left, and vice versa. II
the warm area moves downward the IL.
Illuminating object is moving upward
and vice versa"

A FORTY-DOLLAR MISTAKE.
Two Bidders for One Man at an Auction
Sale.

Two Bidders for One Man at an Auction
Sale.
An Iowa man, who is great lover of
horses, and who keeps grocery store
and livery-stable, was desirous of OBJ
tanning a certain horse which was to be
disposed of at a public sale of gentle
mans estate. lie 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 mp the price.
The story is told in the Chicago Herald.
The grocer and livcry-Eccper 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 be
present and see to it that his instruc-
tons were carried out.
He arrived n 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 surrounded
the fine animal. just at that moment
Jones bid one hundred and thirty-fi
dollars.
Some one must have Immediately
nodded five better, for in another mo-
ment Jones bid one hundred and fifteen.
From some unseen bidder the auction
eer received another advance 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 hundred and
twenty. So matters went on till Jones'
bid was one hundred and thirty five dol
lars.
At Tat 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-kccper that he had told
Smith to do exactly what, in his forget
fulnesss, he had afterward instructed
Jones to do.
He lost no time in stopping the fun,
which had already cost him about forty
dollars.

Freednan's Town, a suburb of Hous-
ton, Tex, boasts of a female Samson.

match for any three men that have pitted
their united strength, and who few
nights ago successfully routed Officer
John Baxter and three of his assistants,
all men of fine physique. The woman
Is negress, as black as night and of a
stature slightly above average, but mag
nifcently built and extraordinarily ac-
tive. Her grip was such that she was
able to break two of the bones of the
hand of the woman with whom she had
fracas recently, and it was on the po-
lice attempting to arrest her that she not
only was able to prevent them putting
the handouts on her, but, taking the
officer and his posse one by one, flung
them out of the house and closed and
locked the door.
Baxter, in particular, is accounted a
man of unusual strength, and is of large
build, but he says his muscles were as a
child's when compared with those of the
black Amazon. The woman, whose
name is Caroline Jenkins, is about 80
years old, and is the mother of seven
children. She has been seen to pick up
a barrel of flour and carry it distance
of several yards without appearing to
overtax herself, and when tested was
found to be able to break with ease a
new grass rope an inch in diameter.
Since her exploit with the police it is
said that party of gentlemen propose
travelling with her, if she will go, and
give exhitAions of her strength, which
is to be ascribed to no electrical or mag
netic process, but to her muscular de-
velopment alone.-St. Louis Glohe-Dem-
ocrat.

The Deceiving Safety Purse.

down without any fear that the con-
tents will disappear. Many women have
an unhappy knack of leaving their
purses about, and it is to these that the
safety purses appeal. They are puzzle
to the uninitiated. A purse with silver
mounts will have the opening spring
hidden away in one corner, yet all the
corners look the same. The way to open
another is to turn the spring right round.
Another purse deceives you into the be-
lief that the bottom is the top.-New
