Spoilr and the Kings.

All are not kingly who wear a crown.
At a court concert the Duchess of Gotha
expressed i'll the curtest style her disap-
proval of the loud playing of Spohr, the
great violinist and composer. While he
was playing she sent chamberlain to
request him not to make so much noise
The king of Wurtemberg was in the
habit of amusing himself at a court CON
cert by playing cards. Spohr, being in
vited to play before the king, informed
the chamberlain that he must decline
the honor unless the king abstained from
card playing. The chamberlain was hor-
riied, but the violinist insisted, and the
king conceded the point. But in order
that the royal time might not be wholly
occupied in listening, he stipulated that
the two pieces set down in the pro-
gramme for Spohr should follow each
other.
Nevertheless his majesty showed that
the violinist's demand had ruffied the
royal temper. Etiquette prescribed that
the king should give the signal for APP
plauding. At the conclusion of each
piece the king gave no signal and SOL
emn silence reigned i'll the salon. The
king had his small revenge.
The king'of Bavaria was a gentleman.
At Il court concert he noticed that the
usher had neglected to place seat for
Nine. Spohr, an excellent harpist, who
was to accompany her husband. The
king placed his throne chair on the plat
form and with the mild insistence of a
gentleman compelled the lady TO sit in it.

Depredations of m Coon.

That coon of Rueger's, which has
been sauntering around the lamppost
on the corner of Ninth and Banks streets
from time to time during the past three
months, made things lively Sunday after
noon at Mr.. 8. A. Fox's bird store on
Broad street.
Mr.. Rueger got tired of the quadruped
and wished to dispose of him. The coon
was accordingly turned over to Mr.. Fox,
who was to sell him. He was kept at
the bird store. Sunday afternoon, when
everybody was away, there began gem
eral havoc on the part of the animal
Climbing over partition in show win
dow, he proceeded to chew up five Abys-
sinian rabbits. Only one of the pets was
left to tell the tale. His coonship then
dined upon handsome Brahma cock in
the rear of the establishment and after
ward proceeded to deprive beautiful
tropical song bird of his plumage.
He next made an attack OH number
of goldfish, and when his appetite was
satisfied there wasn't a single representa-
tive of the piscatorial tribe left in the
aquarium. Several other depredations
were committed, and his coonship was
making preparations to exterminate ev-
cry valuable bird in the establishment
when two festive coppers crawled over
the transom and put an end to his calcula
tions. He was carried back to Rueger's,
but soon effected his escape and made it
lively for the squirrels in the Capitol
square. A small regiment of small boys
We're in pursuit of the animal, which
with an all important air mounted the
Washington monument and soon sat
complacently on the top of Georges head,
eying his pursuers with an expression of
mingled defiance and curiosity. He was
finally captured. Times.

Washington "A CITY of Churches.

There is no city in the United States
which might be called the city of
churches with more appropriateness
than Washington. They are not partic-
ularly large or imposing, these Wash
ington churches, but there is an I'M
menso number of them. AS matter of
fact. the capital contains nearly 200
churches. The Methodist denomination
claims 30. The Baptists come next with
10. then the Episcopalians with % and
the Presbyterians with 81. The Roman
Catholics have IL, the Lntherans 10, the
Congregationalists 4, the Hebrews and
the Christians each and the Unitarians,
the Universalists and the Swedenbor-
gians each. Besides these there are
half dozen nonscctarian bodies. -

Natures Protection For unr,p, Fruit.

FOR protection from the animal world
smmature fruits have developed num-
Der OF interesting devices. Almost uni
versally green" fruits 80 harmonic
with surrounding color as to escape de-
esction. In fact, the hazel nut is envel-
oped in leafy coat which renders it in
conspicuous. The nutritious albumen
OF the seed is often fortified by such i'm
penetrable shells as those of the cocoa
nut and others. Perhaps there is a for
msdable armament of pricklcs, as in the
chestnut, or singing hairs, as is the case
with some pods.
Characteristic of immature fruits are
s1isagreeable taste and consistence.
Compare an unripe peach, sour and
..s,singy, with the same fruit in its lus-
cions maturity. But all these contriy
ances fail to repel certain enemies of
growing fruits. The apples inconspic-
Aonsness, toughness and sourncss are of
little avail against the young progeny of
tho genus homo.--J. w. Folsom in Pop
