The Boy King and a French Mob.

1t was rule of the old French law
that monarchs come Of age at IL.
Louis was rapidly approaching the
momcntous birthday. He had grown
into tall, fine-looking lad; his man.
ners were good; he was was an ex-
cellent horseman; he danced admirably
as we have seen, and he had already
shown that taste for elaborate dress
and ceremony which later years were
so strongly to develop.
But before he reached the eventful
day, the royal pair passed through a
trying experience. 1t was nighttime.
Suddenly a rumor spread abroad that
the king and his mother were trying
to escape out of their unfriendly capi-
tai. Bells rang, the people turned out,
all Paris was in an uproar, and
marched down upon the Palais Royal.
Arrived at the palace gates, the
people shouted their will. .sOur kingl
show us our king" they cried. With
in the palace were dismay and fear.
The queens ladies, pale and trembling,
chung to her; she alone was undis-
mayed. Hearing the shout for the
king, she-his mother-calmly ordered
the doors to be thrown open wide.
She faced the mob of those who would
enter, and asked what they wanted.
s.To see the king" they answered,
'sand assure ourselves that you do not
intend to steal him away"
"The king sleeps" replied the
queen. 81 will show HIM to you"
With all the regal grace for which
she was famous, Anne slowly led the
way down the gallery to her sons
room. She was followed by as motley
crew as ever the Palais Royal had
seen within its walls. On the thresh-
old she paused to put her finger
significantly on her lips, then stepped
forward to the bed, pulled wide the
curtains. and displayed to the people
the young king seemingly asleep. He
was only feigning slumber. Louis
the Fourteenth lay there with eyelids
tight shut, but it was to keep back the
tears of hopeless anger that welled up
from his heart.
For two hours the queen stood be-
side his pillow, and did the honors of
his supposed slumber, while the rabble
of Paris filed past in whispered ad-
miration. Such nights as these in the
lives of kings either dethrone them or
make them tyrants.- [St. Nicholas.

An Exciting Hand-Car Ride.

"Undoubtedly," said H. G.. Orcutt,

ever had had out in Iowa on one of
the big trunk lines that cross the State.
1t was ride on hand-car. Now

haps secured me night ride on one
of them.
sI was in the the town of Emporia,
and l wanted to get to Strong. little
town some fifteen miles further west.
My object was to see leading merch-
ant of that town who was, 1 UNDER

half hour before i could reach the town
by the regular train. I sputtered and
raved around the depot until the clerk
intimated that might ride to Strong

with the section boss, who would con-
duct the crew back to Strong, whence
they came. Some necessary work had
delayed the section gang at Emporia.

They coughed and coughed, and the

asked him to take me aboard. His
reply was to pile on my grip, aud |

"After we had gone some twelve of
the fifteen miles, working along at a
good rate, we were startled to hear
the whistle of an engine in the direc-
tion of Emporia, and directly in the
distance we could see the dim CLEAN

vellous. Something was wrong. No
train was due over the line for fully
an hour and ten minutes. We did not
stop to argue the case The train
would be on us before we could throw
the car off. The order Of the section
boss was TO keep ahead of the engine
if possible until we passed Strong,
thinking no doubt that the approach
ing train would stop there. We
worked like demons. Everybody laid
hands on the power bar, and worked
for dear life. My, but we made that
hand-car fairly sing, and talk about
excitement-there was no end to it.
We kept ahead of the train for at least
mile and half. Then it ran into
us, but we were going so fast that the
shock was nothing at all. We all
acted on the advice of the section
boss, and he seemed to have no fear.

STEAMED DESSERTS.

There are many simple steamed des-
serts which may be cooked in hot
water in the oven or in a steamer
over pot. One of the best Of these
is an old-fashloned custard pudding,
which calls for a quart of milk, five
eggs and sugar and favoring to tho
taste. Put these into little cups.
Little tin pudding moulds which hold
about two gills each are as good as
anything for the purpose. Grease
the moulds before the puddings are
put in, and set them in pan of boil
ing water reaching to half the height
of the cups, and steam them forty
minutes. Do not serve them in cups,
but turn them out on a desert platter.
Serve ne mould to each person, with
little cream sauce over it. For a
steamed lemon pudding use three
tablespoonfuls of butter and six Of
powdered sugar, beaten to cream;
finally the yo.ks of six eggs. the
grated peel and juice of lemon and
the white of six eggs. Cook in ex-
actly the same way as for the custard
pudding. Make an orange pudding
by substituting the rind and juice
Of an orange for the lemon. II New

A NEEDED REFORM.
The President Planning One in the
Civil Service-NO More POlit-
ical Appointments.
Tenure to BE for Good BehaviOr-OnIy
the Best Qualified to Be Made
Public Servants.

WASHINGTON, May l9.-Mr. Cleveland
it is said, contemplates new extension
Of the civil service idea, little less than
the complete wiping out of the present
system and the substitution of some of
the main features of the English system.
For this purpose legislation will be
needed, and yet considerable progress is
possible under the present laws.
President Cleveland's experience, more
especially during the last two months
has set him to thinking. 1t is reported
that in his own mind he has advanced
considerably toward the plan of employ
ing in the government service only those
who are best qualified, regardless of po.
litical considerations. The qualifications
are to be ascertained by board not less
removed from partisan influences and
considerations than the supreme court.
TIE service is to be arranged in grades
and under the best rules known in the
business world. Fitness, moral, intel
lectual, and physical, will be taken into
dSCouht, Dut polltiCS utNcI.

havior. Provision will be made for con

he believes, to qualify him to make to
the congress, when it meets again, ex-
tenslve recommendation looking to
changes that will separate the servants
of the government from politics and re-
lieve the executive branch from what. in
his judgment, has become a positive
scandal and an injury in every light.
MIR. Cleveland is convinced the time has
come for reforming altogether the prac-
tice of appointing men 10 Office on party
grounds. and is giving his best study TO
the subject of reforming the evil.
1t is understood the president has per
suaded himself that what he intends
recommend will command the requisite
strength to put through congress a law
that will permanently reform out of ex-
istence number of evils. which in his
Judgment threaten the welfare of the
republic: and he believes the reform
will shed rcnown upon his administra-
tion.
Mr.. Cleveland is considering this
question with the aid of members of his
cabinet, and at the same time he is
consulting with democrats and republi-
cans as opportunity is afforded. On the
support this enlarged civil service re-
form may receive, in advance of the
meeting congress- will depend not lit

and action.
The opinion prevails to considerable
extent that recent experiences, which
have so impressed the president and be
