A Prinoe,s Escapade.

Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, who is about to marry Princess Josephine, daughter of the Comte and Comtesse de Flandres, was the hero, dozen years ago, of an adventure that caused no lit tie amusement in Germany. As boy of IA he was at that time pursuing his studies at Dusseldorf, when, along with four of his companions, he took it into his head to emulate Robinson Crusoe and gain a new experience. The little party contrived to escape from school and passed couple of nights in the woods, but finding the life hardly equal to their expectations they came back in repentant mood. Unluckily the prince ly ringleader thought fit to concoct TO- mantle story of his having been seized and carried off by band of masked kid napers.
 The police took the matter mp and soon ascertained the truth, which the naughty boy, to his great confusion, was ultimately obliged to confess before his assembled schoolmates. The prince. who now holds commission in the Prussian Uhlans, is said to be animated by strong loyalty toward his imperial cousin. .--St, James 9AHstts.

yyashipu tl,e uapds

Washing the hands in water to which ammonia has been added is very com. mon recommendation. This would be well enough, perhaps, if the supplement tary processes were correctly given, but the direction is simply for putting lit- tie of this substance into the water in which the hands are washed. Somebody follows these directions and finds the hands rough and disagreeable almost be- yond endurance. Some day the victim of this foolish practice makes up her mind that maybe ammonia doesn't agree with her and forthwith discontinues its use.
 The fact is that ammonia is absolutely unfit for the toilet unless its effects nre carefully removed by some suitable agent. It is strongly alkaline and de. stroys the natural oil on and near the surface of the skin. leaving 1t rough, craclxly and with decided tendency to chap and wrinkle. After the use of soap of any sort or any alkaline preparation the hands should be thoroughly washed in clean water and rubbed with some soothing compound, such as glycerin and rosewater, bit of diluted honey. almond oil or some like substance. This restores the softneks of the skin and pre- vents chapping. Good Housekeeping.

Politeness Paws.

II have often heard my uncle," said the nephew of noted lawyer who died latsly, dwell upon the fact that he owed much of his success in life to a habit of invariable politeness, without any element of todyism, which had been instilled into his nature by the teachings of a wise mother His first start in his profession came through an old scrubwoman who was employed about the house where he boarded when young man. One morning he passed out as she was scrubbing the front steps, and he saluted her politely, as usual. She stopped him. They tell me ye are lawyer, she said. Yes. Well, know poor widdy woman that wants lawyer, and if you will give me your address I'll tell her. The poor widdy' proved to be the chief heir to large estate in Delaware coun- ty. My uncle became her attorney and trustee of her children, recovered her interest in the estate and derived a good income from it's management for many years. Phil adelphia Record.

The Plonearn-

So much has been heard of Mary wollstonecraft as herald of woman's equality that most people have forgotten the name of Mary Astell, H contempo- rary of Defoe's, who lived a hundred years before Mary Wollstonecraft, and who was the first woman who pleaded for "woman's equality of education and social position" If 1t were a daring thing to do in the eighteenth century, it was surely much more daring thing to do in the seventeenth, and. though Mary Astell may be said to have ''hedged" n little under the wrath of her contem- poraries, yet to her is the credit of hav- ing been the first to urge the necessity of giving woman the benefits of a thor ough education. Other pioneers there have been at later date who have suf. fered islander and persecution in the woman's cause, and whose work has been ignored and set aside by the more noisy crowd who now enjoy the bsnsfts which tAs psoessrs' snasr1Hss purchased.

Roaming Chinese Tribes.

In the plains on the western borders of the Chinese empire, in the very heart of Asia, there live roaming tribes who seldom visit towns, except it may be in the way of trade. They dwell in tents which they pitch wherever they may happen for the moment to be wan dering or working. The tent used by some of the rowing Mongolian folk is made of felt and is usually low, small and pointed toward the top. The wood- en door frame is no higher than half a window frame in our houses, but the tent, although not equal to the wants of a large family, is snug and comfortable enough in summer, but cold in winter.

a Long Free Lunch Route.

ALLIANCE, O., March 2S-Twelve miles of the longest free lunch route on record were mapped out for the Coxey caravan. January weather was also on the pro- gramme, but the sympathy of people along the line of march is making 1t possible for the men to progress without any particular hardship. They were cheered by sausage, ham, dry bread and black coffee.
 Soap is still among the things invisible, and there is no danger that anybody is going to mistake this for a turnout of plutocrats. Only the hobo contingent is provided with soap, it is not particular about using it. All luxuries are carefully treasured.
 The health of the marchers has been remarkably good considering their expert ence. Meals that are irregular when pro vided at all and sleeping on frozen ground with a scant covering of straw are not ordinarily considered conducive to man. s physical we'll being.

''M. Marcel" said Medicis, 1T have come here solely to make your fortune. That is to say, I've come to offer you a superb chance to enter the artistic world. Art, as you we'll know, M. Marcel, is an arid road of which glory is the oasis.
 "Pere Medicis," said Marcel, on the hot coals of impatience, in the name of 50 per cent, you venerated patron saint, be briefp'
 "This is the affair" said Medicis. "A wealthy lover of paintings who is making a collection of pictures destined to make the tour of Europe has order ed me to procure for him series of re- markable works. I have come to offer you an entrance into that gallery of art. In word, have come to buy your Crossing of the Red Sea.
