Criticisms on Royalty a Matter for Cabi-
net Discussion.

LONDON, June 13.-The United Press
correspondent learned that a meeting of
members of the cabinet had been called
to consider the events following the
baccarat trial and especially the unpre-
cedented criticisms upon royalty of the
press and among the people. There is
no thought of any legal action until the
Wilson's or others should conclude to
prosecute for libel, but there is a feel
ing in the highest circles of the govern
ment that the monarchy is shaken by the
harshness of discussion touching the
heir to the throne.

THE KING OF SPAIN.
An Ancient Spanish Custom Stiu Observe
 by the Queen.

An Ancient Spanish Custom Still Observed by the Queen.
 The little king of Spain is very frank and unrcstrained in his expression ot opinions. and sometimes makes per. sonal remarks about his subjects of sort seldom indulgcd in by older ant more diplomatic kings He is very mis chicvous, but his attendants, in keeping him out of scrapes, 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 and caught the king one day when tho little fellow tripped. and was about to fall 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 n large sum of money, and gave him another situntion but even she could not retain him in the household.
 On Good Friday, according to a cus- tom which has prevailed in Spain since the sixteenth century. seven criminals received pardon. AS soon as vespers were over in the chapel of the royal palace. the cardinal archbishop of To- lcdo stepped 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 to custom, the chaplain asked the queen:
 "Scnora, does your majesty grant pardon to these criminals?" With tender glance at the little boy, whose hand she held, she replied: "In the name of the king. my son. pardon these persons, as look to God to grant His pardon and mercy to us Amen"
 The rolls were then placed on the high altar. and. after prayer and ben. ediction, delivered to the minister oi justice.

 "How long have we to wait. to be surel I dare say you have got little child at home. too?"
 "No."
 "But when you get back. you will have to sweep out your rooms?"
 No, have folks who do that for me-"

Jack Marion, nephew of Wm. Wy more, was hanged in Beatrice, Neb., March 25th, 1887. The case is one of strange interest, the most remarkable feature having just now come to light.

The supposed body of Cameron was found in a creek a short time after his supposed mur- der. The case was one in which cir cumstantial evidence, which seemed absolutely convincing, caused the death of an innocent man on the gal lows. The accused man protested his innocence to the last, and said Gamer on would return in time to save hi' life.

INVOLUNTARY HOMAGE.

Beauty the Cause of Many Mans
 Downfall.
 It is one of the penalties, or, as some would say, one of the rewards. of beauty, that everyone wishes to look at it. There are times, however, when even the love of the beautiful must be held in check. The New York Sun de- scribes an occurrence in Nassau street, by which four prosperous citizens of the metropolis learned this lesson, one day last winter, in a sudden and strik- ing manner.
 A group of three unusually pretty young women were walking along the sidewalk. Such attractive visitors are not very numerous in this sordid quar- ter of the town, and the girls found themselves the objects of good deal of attention from the hurrying throng of bankers. brokers and clerks.
 In frout of one block the stone flag ging had been worn very smooth, and the messenger boys had made several highly slippery slides upon the thin cov- ering of ice. Still the spots could be easily avoided if man had his eyes open, and the walk was safe enough until the three pretty girls came along But during the minute and half of their passing. no less than four men went sprawling to the ground.
 Three of the victims were walking toward the young women, and in turn went flat in the path before them. The fourth man had passed them, and rash ly turned his head to look back. He was grea,}yllr%ar )eA aRe nnan

A Future OF Hone.

Look where we may, the future seems
full of hope. The great world, slowly
and reluctantly, it may be, is still open
ing its eyes to the appalling spectacle
of wretchedness, degradation and sin
that lies to us so close on every hand.
The cry of the afflicted and down-trod-
den is heard at last. We refuse to &C.
quiesce in what selfishness and coward
ice assure us to be inevitable. The
few who have taken upon their shout
ders the burden of suffering humanity
are beginning to find not only SYM
patty but help in their efforts to do
battle with the evil power which now
desoates so vast portion of mankind.
The struggle must be long. No schemes,
however glorious, no devotion, however
generous, can win a sudden triumph {;
for at the best human progress can not
be measured from year to year; its
movements, though sure, are imper-
ceptible; only by generations can loss
or gain be reckoned. But when new
spirit enters into the world when the
ideal of the few becomes the enthu-
siasm of the many, and the vision once
seen only by lone watchers on noun
tain heights is revealed in its glory to
the toilers on the plain; when faith
once dim and faint begins to stir with
a new fire and new life, we can not
for long be unconscious of such a
change. And such change is surely
coming on. The long night with its
darkness and silence is passing away,
and through the awakening world rings
the trumpet sound, 4" let the King

A Suggestion.

There are plenty of people who do
not see the Importance of any great
moral reform until its principles are
brought to their notice through some
popular medium. We do not mean to
censure such persons. The excuse for
their unawakened energies in the direc-
ton of any single moral reform is found
in the fact that there are so many other
things constantly demanding their at
tention in this age of Christian en-
deavor. If one, therefore, would secure
the lively interest of men and women
nowadays in favor of any good cause,
he must present the case in forcible
way, else they will not be able to take
in its full significance. That the preser-
walton of the Christian and the civil
Sabbath calls to-day for the whole
souled support of every person, is a
proposition as true as any which can be
put on paper; yet it is fact that many
thoroughly good people do not give
their best energies to the work, simply
because nobody has interested them
and nothing has startled them into the
tremendous importance of this ques-
ton. This is the fault of some of our
"Sabbath " literature. The books
which deal with the Sunday question
do it in a general way. They fail, many
Of them, to illustrate by specific and
familiar illustration what they try tc
prove, and so people are not properly
impressed with the situation.-Er.

A Good Minister.

Why, he prayed for Sunday-schools
and boys so good; l never heard any
one pray so much for boys. Most of
them do not. That is why / liked
him." edo you like to be prayed
for2" "Why, yes, of course l do"
"The minister prayed to-day that all
the boys might be Christ's boys. Did
you like that?" Yes, and l prayed as
hard as l could that might be. When
we hear people praying for us it makes
us think it is about time to be praying
for ourselves. IT children don't like to
say much about good things, guess
they all like to have the minister re-
member them. always watch and see
if they pray for young folks; if they
don't, think they won't have much in
the sermon either. Then, of course, l
don't listen as we'll as l should if l
thought there was something for
me. "-Selected.

Seven Ways Of Giving.

(D The careless way: To give some
thing to every cause that is presented,
without inquiring into its merits. (2)
The impulsive way: To give from i'm
pulse-as much and as often as love
and piety and sensibility prompt. (3)
The lazy way: To make special offer
to earn money for benevolent objects by
fairs, festivals, etc. (4) The self-deny-
ing way: To save the cost of luxuries,
and apply them to the purposes of re-
ligion and charity. This may lead to
asceticism and self-complacence. (5)
The systematic way: To lay aside as
an offering to God definite portion of
our gains-one-tenth one-fifth, one
third or one-half. This is adapted to
all, whether rich or poor, and gifts
would be largely increased if it were
generally practiced. CO. The equal
way: To give to God and the needy
just as much as we spend on ourselves,
balancing our personal expenditures by
our gifts, (7) The heroic way: To
limit our own expenditures to a certain
sum, and give away all the rest of our
income. This was John Wesley's
way.-Dr. A. T. PierSon.

A Music-LOying Pigeon.

Not far from the writer's home there
is little gray pigeon who is "a great
pet with his fair young mistress, and
who has shown a great fondness for
music. When his mistress practices
or takes her piano lesson, so soon as
the first note is struck, gentle "tap,
tap" is heard at the window, and there
stands the pigeon, begging TO come in.
When admitted he walks straight up to
the piano, and lies at the players feet,
and all during the music expresses his
admiration in a gentle cooling. The
little creature is affectionate and fond
of petting, but will leave any one to
listen to music.-NeD Orleans Pic
