The young man impresscd the veteran manager favOrably in his first game, and since then his standing as an Al" player has been fully established Queer, however, that Sharrott, who rccom- mended him, Is not in the profession now There arc lots of Turner's scattercd around the country, most of whom will never be heard of because they'll not get an oppor- tunity to show the stun of which they arc made.

THE STUDY OF ucHENS.
4 Delightful Branch of Science With Which
 to Become Acquainted

A Delightful Branch of Science With Which
 to Become Acquainted.
 They arc a difficult branch to study, for the descriptions are shrouded in mysterious language that needs an un- abridged dictionary to translate it, and & good microscope is necessary if one wishes to examine their internal struc- ture and spores. But they are delight full and easy branch of science to be- come acquainted with by observation.
 They are to be found all the year round on stones and fence rails and on trees They are easy to mount and are so fascinatingly ugly or beautiful that they mako an interesting collection In almost any wild bit of country there are from 50 to 70 kinds to be found, and even in the most civilized place, at ones own hearth, there are sure to be seven or eight species growing on the sticks of wood laid for the fire They arc so like and yet unlike that they sharpen the powers of comparison and observation until one feels that the keen bladcd knife and pocket lens. which arc con stant companions in a hchen ramble, are dull compared with ones own bright mind
 Lichens-and, by the way, they are pronounced li-kens. not htch-ens-grUw in three ways. which can be easily dis tinguished at a glance. There are crus- taceous hchens that grow close to a stone or bark and have no leafy part, but are simply a few warts or dots or a stain There arc foliaceous ichcns that lie flat They are green or brown or yellow leathery plants that are something like leaves, and that have brown CT red Or pink disks on them, and there arc fruti- cose hchcns that grow upright like lit tie shrubby bushes. with bright col ored knobs.
 Go to any birch tree, and there will be seen within stained circle some GU rious little black marks like Clfin hicrO- glyphs They arc the fruit spots of a common hcben called, very appropriate ly. Graphs scripta Almost any tree one visits will have some irregular cir cular stains upon it, especially if the bark Is quite smooth, and in the center there will be some brown or black or white specks. It is easy tO collect such crustaccOus lichens by sliCirg of n thin strip Of the bark, large enough to show the outline of the stain, and by writing the name of the tree from which 1t was taken on the bark. but it is quite q diff ferent matter when one sits down beside a powder.

There are many little endorsements encountered by the professional stroller for which there seems to be no law, ei- ther of compensation or amelioration. For instance, take the meeting of the same person over and over again on an afternoons travels. First time you arc overjoycd at the encounter and find plenty to talk about. Fifteen minutes later you meet again, and tho interview is Q triflc less spicy. Still later you grasp hands for the third time and don't know what in sam Hill" to talk about. The next time you meet you bow coldly and pass on. but the last time of all you dash down side street as though trying to elude the hand of Providence. Chicago Herald

HOW ROYALTY IS PUNISHED WHEN

Young scions Are spanked-A Duke Was Confined - princes Are HumIiiated.
 Queen IsabeiIa Had Her Ears Boxed. The Duke of Clarence Was Horsewhippea.

The Duke of Clarence Was Hor.ewhippea. Special Correspondence.l
 PARIS, Aug. 27.-In spite of tho popu-
 lar impression that prevails in many parts
 of the old world that princes of the blood
 arc constructed of different clay from ortii-
 nary folks; that their royalty is somisacred in its character, and that, theoretically at any rate they can do no wrong, the fact
 remains that they arc just as human, just
 as weak under temptation and just ns prone to err as the remainder of mankind
 This being the case, the question naturally
 arises as to how they arc punished when
 they misbehaye themselves. Of course I
 do not refer to princes of tender years, for
 we all know that the emperor of Germany
 Is accustomed to rcpress the exuberance of
 his eldest three boys by vigorous spank ings, and that Queen Victoria on ono memorable occasion, when her S-ycar-old
 grandson, George, now duke of York, had perpetratcd some piece of rudcncss at din
 ner, ordered him to stand in the corner.
 Neither Age Nor Rank Can Save Them. The scions of royalty whom have in
 mind, however, are those who have passed
 beyond the ago of being spanked. of being
 stood up in a corner by their grandmas and
 of being sent to bed in disgrace. These
 are usually disciplined by confinement to tnelr apartments, CuuIieu Wltn temporary deprivation of their swords. This pun
 ishment is known in French as aux ar
 rets," while in Germany 1t is styled stu bcnarrest. It Is very frequently inflict- ed, and many of the absences of royal per
 sonagcs from public festivities and state
 functions which arc attributed by the of | ncial court jolSnals and by the daily
 press to indisposition arc due, on the con
 trary, to some such penanco us this.
 Neither Ggc nor rank can save princes
 from this form of discipline, and have | known the late Emperor Frederick, even
 after he had attained the rank of general,
 to be allotted eight days of such arrest for having drawn public attention to defects
 in the accoutcrmcnt of tho First regiment | of Prussian guards in a manner peculiarly offensive to his father. In those days tho soldiers of tho regiment referred to, when | in full dress, were so tightly buttoned up | in their tunics, worc such tOphcavy head pieces and were crossed in every direction
 by so many straps and belts that such Q

By and by the sun will shine, Day must follow night; Darkest hour is the sign Of returning light God is in his heaven still. Though the world denies. And cheery courage waits on will A merry heart is wise. Over rugged things we climb To our best estate: We shall stumble many a time, But we conquer fate. And We choose the better part So that evil flies, When we keep the dauntless heart, The merry heart that's wise.

The resolution passed by the senate regard.
ing American citizens held as prisoners In
Cuba on tho charge of completely with
schemes Of rebellion in that island, makes no
unreasonable demand.
lt requests the President to secure the re-
lease OF such citizens when they are held
without trial on suspicion merely. or TO pro-
cure speedy trial for them when there IL
evidence against them.
Our Government does not hesitate TO take
this course in the case of weaker nations
anu the same rule should be applied to
spain. In the case of Frederick Meys OF
Boston, who was arrested at Port-au- Prince
on the charge of smuggling and kept In
prison without trial for ~ days, our
minister at the Haytian capital interfered
with decided protest; and the suggestion
that the people OF the island had to submit
occasionally 10 that kind OF treatment did not
strike Secretary Foster as sufficient reason
FOR applying IL to an American citizen, whose
subsequent release was itself a comment on
the imprisonment.
American citizens must not remain shut up
In Spanish dungeons on some vague theory
that had they not been guilty OF violating the
laws they would not be suspected of 1t, and
that even the surmise deserves some meas
ure OF punishment
