palace kitchen and modestly accosting
one of the head cooks. she said to him
In gentle tone:
"W1l you allow me to make q we'd
ding cake for Prince Milan?"
The proud and sef-sufficient cook
was not in the least disposed to accept
such proposal; but when he saw how
pretty and graceful this young peasant
girl was, he replied to her politely:
Yes, my pretty one, if You wish it.

advanced with a solemn air, bearing
upon silver dish cake made In the
form of a crown. Everybody admired
this piece of pastry. its elegant form,
and s golden crust. The Prince, be-
fore whom the cook had placed it, cut
Off piece, and from the opening, flew
out pair of turtle doves, which
wheeled in flight about the table, the
female dove crying to her companion:
Don't leave mel don't leave me! or
You will forget me, as Prince Milan has
forgotten his Wel'enar'
At those words the Prince recovered
his memory. He rose from his seat and
hastened to the door, where he found
his betrothed awaiting him.
Under the balcony of the palace
stood his faithful horse, paving the
ground with Impotence. He leaped
into the saddle with his own true
bride, and they soon reached the king
dom OF Kolata. The King and the
Queen received them with tears of Joy,
aud the II marriage was celebrated with

Modern Military Rifles.

The London Standard says: On the
whole, there seems good reason TO be
satisfied with our own rifle, the Leo
Milford. 1t is light-9lb Goz--thc
lightest in Europe, except the French
arm, which is two ounces less; 1t fires
eight rounds, and in this direction is
surpassed by no weapon; and it has
range of no less than 3, 800 yards, with
a smokeless nitro compound. AT loco
yards the percentage of hits when ex-
periments were lately made, the object
being four companies in quarter column
standing-a good sized target-was
As; at $500 yards it was % per cent.
and at 2, 800, Is; but the latter range is
over a mile and half, and if on Is
men fell before the enemy at that dis
tance it woul1 have its effect. Another
advantage of the new rifle is its reduced
calibre, for this enables the soldier to
carry more ammunition.
The late General Skobeleff, who saw
as much fighting as any one of recent
years, was of opinion that 130 rounds
were necessary to keep up n fight
when once troops were committed to
it; and it is certain that 90 rounds
per man We're found too few at st.
Privat, where the French fired away
all they had, and We're forced TO re-
treat, ammunition wagons not having
come up. Russia is supposed not to
have settled what magazine rifle she
will adopt; and this is also the case
with Spain. Portugal, Norway, and
Sweden. Even nOn-progressive China
has a magazine rifle, the Lee, which
fires five rounds.
The new rifle and field artillery have
enormously extended the dang r zone
into which no troops can pass without
peril of death. The new field-pieces
make capital practice at a range of
three and a half miles, and the rifle is
sighted up to couple of miles. What
is the result? Obviously the troops
must be spread out more as the area of
the battlefield widens, and the men
must no longer advance in massed sol-
umns. These changes necessitatc the
abandonment of the old cast-iron tao
tics, and the adoption of new system,
IN which much more is left to the indi-
yiduGl intelligence of the soldier.

ARABIAN BABIES.

Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies of Eastern nations, especial
ly for those who are of Sufficiently
high rank to be brought up according
to all the ancient customs OF their race.
The lady who tells her own story in the
"Memoirs of an Arabian Princess,
saws that a royal bahy's first toilet, II
Arabia, consists in winding q bandage
about its body, after It has been bathed
and perfumed. The little creature is
then placed on its back, its arms and
feet are Strengthened, and the entire
BODY is swathed to the shoulders.
In this position 1t remains motion
less for forty days, but the bandage is
removed twice a day that the child may
have bath. The Arabs believe that
this process will make the body straight
for life. Under such circumstances it
seems fortunate that bsbyh is not
period that can be remembered In
after-years, for no one would choose to
in recollection.
II the child be girl, on the seventh
day after her birth, holes, usually six
in number, are pricked In her ears,
and whom she is two months old heavy
gold rings arc attached to them, to be
worn throughout her lifetime, except
during periods of mourning for rela-
tives
On the fortieth day the baby's head
is shaved, a ceremony which could
scarcely be performed In our own
country, where thick hair is usually of
a later growth. This operation is con-
sidered very important one. and thirty
or forty persons are witnesses OF II, for
the performances Of certain rites.
The disposal Of the first hair is re-
earded as a very weighty matter; it
must not be burned nor carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea, or hidden in some crevice of a
wall.
The fortieth day marks turning
point in the chIld's life. Heretofore it
has only been seen by its parents, the
slaves on duty and few intimate
friends of the family; now, however, it
may be seen by any body, and is re-
garded as fairly launched on the tide of
existence.
Several charms are attached to its
body for protection against the EVIL
Eye, boys wearing them to a certain
age, and girls still longer. The favorite
charm consists Of gold or silver
locket worn on a chain.
The smallest children among the
Arabians are strongly perfumed; every
thing they use, from their clothing to
articles of the toilet. Is covered at night
with jasmine, and before it is used,
fumIgated with amber and musk, and
sprinkled with otto OF roses.

FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH.

An association has recently been
formed by the leading florists of New
York by which flowers may be de-
livered in any part of the civilized
world at few hours notice. A code
of telegraphy has been adopted by the
association, and a representative of the
trust, who understands this system, Is
to be engaged in every city and large
town in America and Europe.
The use of this code saves the ex-
pense of a long telegram to those send
ing flowers.
On Christmas Day in London over
twenty dinner tables were decorated
with flowers, for which orders were
sent the day previous from the associa-
ton.
In three hours after the order is
given here flowers are delivered in San
Francisco. Yesterday orders were
executed here from that city for every
thing fiom an elaborate table decora-
tion to small bunch of roses, and all
was done in less than two hours after
the receipt of the telegram,
Flowers are ordered daily through
this system for London, Paris, Vienna
and all over Europe by those having
friends there. AS soon as the society
gets in complete working order the ex-
pense attending kilograms, which is
only nominal now, will be abolished.
Many q Christmas rose was worn
there by fair ones yesterday ordered
BY sweethearts far away.

THE WOMAN FARMER.

The following sensible comment upon
what is required of a woman who un-
dertakes farming as a business, we find
contributed to the New England Farm
er by woman who has had practical
experiences:
1t is seldom that a woman's outlook
is broad enough to manage the busi-
ness of large farm easily or success
fully. From girlhood to womanhood
her largest purchase has probably been
that of an occasional new dress or
cloak. Suddenly, from the position of
farmers wife or daughter with its
comparatively narrow and quiet sphere
of operations, she is called upon to
take up the broader and more onerous
duties of a man. No longer may she
busy herself with housewifely cares
alone; as farmer, taxpayer and citizen
her horizon is vastly widened, and fer
more Is expected and demanded of her
than in her former quiet sphere. In
stead of the few dollars outlay for per-
sonal adornment, hundreds and thou
sands of dollars if the farm is large
one, pass yearly through her hands,
claimiu g careful planning and Wise ex-
penditure. Market reports, crop statis-
tics, tariff, taxation, socialism, the
labor quest on and many other topics
of equal importance call for careful
consideration and have for her now, as
farmer, deep and vital interest. What
wonder that sometimes her woman's
heart fails her at the vastness of the
issues before her? The only remedy
that know of for this dfIiculty-a mar.

4 Filial Emperor.

The Emperor of China visits the
Empress Dowager at the Nanbai pal
aces every five days to inquire after
Her Majesty's health. The visits are
always made very early in the morn
ing, attended by vast retinue of per-
sonal followers. After saluting Her
Majesty and making the usual inquiries
after her health, the Emperor generally
has some State affairs of Importance to
consult with Her Majesty, whose ad-
vice and suggestions he still highly
values. This his filial conduct is made
manifest to the world.

Mr.. Stanley's Mother.

Mr.. Stanley, somehow or otner, Is
not much loved. And yet in many re-
'ations of life ne seems lovable enough
The story of how he brought his old
mother up to London, put her up at
grand hotel, and told her that he
wished to make her a very valuable
present, is full of humor and pathos.
1t was just after he had come back
from the Abyssinian campaign. Her
curiosity was much excited, and she
eagerly watched him unfastcn care

precious contents woIld soon be re-
vealed to her view. ''lt is very valu-
able" said he, proudly, "and it will

a strip of torn and blood-stained coat,
worn by King Theodore when he was
k He'd. But, alas for Mr.. Stanley's
pridel His mother, so far from ap-
preciating it, was frightened at the
blood stains, and begged him to take it
ck,-Which he did, feeling his gift
was somewhat misplaced. Other rel-
les, however, she was glad to receive
and to cherish.
There used to be small Stanley
museum in her cottage, in which she
kept the hats her son wore in his search
for Livingstone, an African war-club,
named by its maker the tree of life,
papyrus cradle, like that of Moses
and the small American flag which he
carried with him on his hunt for Liv-
ingstone. All these used to be on view
before the good old lady died and was
buried in a coffin on which was record
ed the fact that she was ''the mother
of III. NJ. Stanley, the African ex-
plorer." She loved him and 30 did
her sister. So also did the boy Dualla,
who waited upon him for many years,
and was one of the most conspicuous
features of Mr.. Stanley's chambers in
London.

was to promote Christian work

and we looked for lady to send to
Micronesia. Mrs. Bingham went first
as our missionary, and after her re-
turn Mrs. Snow, but only stayed a

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who went to
Ponape, and there labored faithfully
until driven from her work by the
Spaniards. For some time after Mr.
Doane's death, Miss Palmer was the
