IN ROYAL STATE.
Maggie Bryan Sits Enthroned as Mahar-
anee Of Putteeala.

The maharajah of Putteeaa, who
has an annual income of $1,000, 900
and wears a necklace which cost that
amount, has married Maggie Bryan,
and all British India is sCandalized
The fact that Maggie is the sister of J.
Bryan, the manager of the maharaja h',
stables, sort of head hostler, might be
gotten over. The fact that she, a
Catholic Irish girl, consented to adopt
Mohammedanism to get a prince is
much worse. But worst of all is the
alleged fact that she is smart enough tc
rule the supplemented maharaiah, and
SO there may be compilations"
Putteeala is a "feudatory State"-
that is, it is ruled by its native prince,
who does just as he pleases SO long as
he does nothing adverse to British in.

it sometimes happens that married men

why Milk Differs in Quality.

Milk is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class of
changes has been brought about by the
action of breeders. By many years of
attention to breeding for fat production
it is now possible to get milk which NAV
be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk rs sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. of solids,
when the normal is 13 per cent.
A second set Of causes which influence
the quality of milk grows out of the ig,
norance or carelessness of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea of the value of one cows
milk for children anything in the treat
ment of the COW which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness OF
neglect is oftena grave source of trouble
in the handling of milk, not only on ac-
count of the possibilities of the addition
of visible filth, but because milk is pc
culiarly susceptible to odor various
kinds of bacteria and disease germs.
Epidemics of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean cans and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria.

A Small Legal Fee.

The smallest fee ever taken by an Eng
lish counsel was sixpence, that fee hav-
ing on one occasion been taken by the
late Sir John Holker. Barristers' fees
We're in olden times much less than
those now paid, An entry occurs in the
church wardens' accounts of st. Mar
garet's, Westminster, for 1476, showing
that fee of three shillings and eight
pence, with fourpence for his dinner
was paid to Robert Fylpott, counsel,
learned in the law, for his advice.
In Mares GLOSSARY" barrister's fee
was stated to be an angel, or ten shil-
lings. These are somewhat different
figures to the 600 guineas paid to Sir
Charles Russell three or four years ago
at the Leeds assizes for less than three
hours's work, or at the rate of over three
guineas a minute.-London Tit-Bits.

A fashion safe to stamp young girl

Those of us who like Friday for vari-
Gus reasons, but chiefly because it leads
up to Saturday, upon which day schools
are closed, will be pleased to hear that
it is not half so unlucky day as Mon
day, the day school opens again. A Ger
man statistician feeling that Friday had
been a much maligned day, determined
to make scientific investigation of the
matter, and found that it is not Friday
but Monday that is the most unfortunate
of the week days.
According to his investigations 1874
per cent. of all accidents occur on Mon
day, 15.5l per cent on Tuesday, 81 per
cent on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent. on
Thursday, 1888 per cent. on Friday,
1888 per cent. ON Saturday and only 9. so
per cent. on Sunday. So you see Friday

1t is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not pear yet that has been able to
take the place Of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is European sort,
originating in England and named there
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro.
duced into this country, and its name
getting lost it was named Bartlett, after
the man in whose garden it was when
its excellent qualities were discovered.
The Seckel is native, a chance seeding,
found growing near the Schuylkill river,
Philadelphia, and the original tree still
stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Secbel from the close of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from a full grown Seckel pear tree, for
instance, is far superior to that from a
tree fruiting for the first time. .-Practi-

The original picture of "Sheridan's s

now hangs in the private Office of Presi-
dent Thomas L. James, of the Lincoln
bank. 1t is about five by four feet in di-

spirited figure of the horse upon which
Sheridan is mounted. The picture is
the property of Mrs. U. S. Grant, and
was sent to the Lincoln storage ware

presented to General Grant soon after
the close of the war.-New York Times.

Absence of Real Children in Literature


The wise mentors in conventional lit.
erature virtually tell you that child liter
ature wants no real children in it; that
the real child's example of defective
grammar and lack of elegant department
would furnish to its little patrician pa.
irons suggestions very hurtful indeed to
their higher morals, tendencies and am.
bitions. Then, although the general pub.
lie couldn't for the life of it see why OF
how, and might even be reminded that
it was just such rowdying child
itself, and that its father-the father
of his country-was just such a child,
that Abraham Lincoln was just such
lovable, lawless child, all-all of
this argument would avail not in
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors Of child literature cannot pos
sibly tolerate the presence of any but the
refined children-the very proper chill
dren-the studiously thoughtful, poetic
children-and these must be kept safe
from the contaminating touch of our
rough and tumble little fellows in ''hod-
den gray" with frowzy heads, begrimed
but laughing faces, and such awful,
awful vulgarities of naturalness, and
crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith
and trust, and love of life and everybody
in it.-Jamcs W. Riley in Forum.

1t is vain to accuse Raphael, as did
certain of his contemporaries, of not

too humanity adorable. Raphael con-
formed bis painting to his ideas and his
sentiments. He expressed his soul. lust
as Lippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna,
Bellini and Perugino expressed their
souls, each one differently, and in a man
ner characteristic of his more or less
complex personality; and, as regards
each one of them, the degree of our ad-
miration and sympathy depends upon
the temperament and culture of our
own souls.-Theodore Child in Harper's

The Influence of Politicians.

When one, not being a professional
politician, looks at the question widely
and considers the penalties of political
greatness, one begins to wonder whether
politics have that influence on the real
life of nation which they are supposed
to have, and whether eminent politicians
are not merely the puppets of the hour.
But that is question on which the fates
forbid that we should enter! Probably
in no case are the penalties of greatness
SO irksome as in the case of the eminent

Enthroned,

He sits enthroned who sits supreme
Above the passions of his clay,
Nor fears remorse nor feels the scourpe
OF conscience with the ended day.
He has no greed for wealth that's won
By bargain in the marts of sin,
Nor lust for fame whose paans mock
The hollow heart that walls within.
His lips attuned to natures Tyre,
He sings as sang the early stars;
His clean hands suited to Gods plan,
His handiwork no blemish mars.
He gives to all unseliish due,
Nor claims what others may not share,
And every cry of woe bespeaks
His ready bounty with his prayer.
So, doing Gods will on the earth,
With love illimitably zoned,
Though waiting yet his higher birth,
He sits enthroned. Samuel Hoyt
