Eoylsh Insanity.

Interference with the course Of true
love, it appears from New York case,
is nothing less than insanity. George
VeZelman annoyed his two pretty sis
ters, and consequently George is said to
be insane. When likely young man.
as the saying is, called upon either sis
ter, George would persist in remaining
in the parlor. When two 'likely young
men" called on both sisters George
would work overtime to make it dis
agreeable for both, says the Chicago
Post. He would make remarks that
tended to discourage the young men,
and apparently was not susceptible to
brides of any kind. His father argued
with him to no avail; his sisters pleaded
with no better success. He enjoyed the
sport too much to stop in his mad ca
reer. With some boys it might have
been explained on the ground that he
was devoted to his sisters and feared
that he might lose them, but no such
idea occurred to any member of the Vez-
Gilman family 1t was insanity, they
al said, and finally they called in a po-
liceman and had him locked up on that
charge. 1t was well to have the matter
settled definitely, but in view of the
explanation what girl will dare attempt
to estimate the number of cases of in
sanity among younger brothers? The
thought alone must be appalling to any
one of a statistical turn Of mind.

A HouseWlfelY ESuuimO Girl.

Here is little Esquimo girl who lives
at Point BarrowS, Alaska, one of the
northmost towns in the world. Besides
being taught how to read and write,
mathematics, geography, singing, ETC.,
the children of Point Barrows are in
structed in the art of cooking. There is
little cooking done in Alaska, where
fuel for fire is scarce, and where the at
mosphere is so clear, crisp and pure,
that meats and fish are preserved and
prepared for food. The missionaries are
teaching the children of frigid Alaska
the art of cooking and housekeeping,
and are providing them with better
homes and more comforts than they
have hitherto known. Alaska, as all
our children know. was purchased by
the United States from Russia shortly
after the civil war. 1t aHiimmense

and the struggle for money has not yet

Sam, in order to improve the condition
of his Esquimo wards, is stocking the
country with reindeer, which serve as
beasts of burden and supplies them

The Young Queen of Holland.

Her Serene Majesty Wilhelmina He
lene Pauline Marie, queen of the Meth
erlands, is now charming young girl
of H. whose life SO far has been as I'M
clouded and happy as though no cares
of state were hanging over her head
for the future. She has no public
duties to fulfil, and she will have none
until she comes of age and is crowned
She lives very much as do other young
girls of her age, except that much more
is expected of her, and she is brought
up with a constant preoccupation of
her future destinies. Her life is very
simple. She rises at T. goes the first
thing to say good morning to her
mother, and then at has her break
fat, after which for three hours she is
busy with her lessons and masters.
Her first gOverness until she was
years old was a French woman, Made
moiselle Liotard, who was then re-
placed by the queens English govern
ess, Miss Winter who has been with
her ever since. Queen Wilhelmina is
very bright and clever, and studies
hard, so as to learn everything that the
ruler of kingdom should know. She
has a great deal of spirit, and a quick
ness of comprehension that will stand
her in good stead some day, as you can
see by this little story. She was the
idol of her old father during his life
time, and one day, going into his pri-
Vate room, she found the king walking
the floor with his hands clasped behind
his back, in n thoroughly bad humor.
He paid no attention to her as she en-
tered. Are you angry, papa" she
asked, going up to him. Her father
either did not hear, or pretended not to
do so. The princess stood for a second,
and then crossing her own little hands
behind her back, she began to walk
resolutely up and down by the side of
her father, without saying a word.
The king made two or three turns
more, and then looking down at his
small companion, he suddenly burst
out laughing, and caught her up in his
arms, with every trace of his Immature
gone. This shows the woman of re-
source who understands managing
men.-Harper's Young People.

A Dude Dog.

Jacques, a snuff colored terrier, was
reared by Major Hillards family at Nut
Hollow, N. j. His friends pampered
him so that he became a regular dude
dog and developed traits Of cowardice
that finally disguised Major Hillard. In
fact, the latter grew SO sick Of the beast
that 1t is believed, he hired his son to
take him away and lose him. Once
forced to shift for himself Jacques be-
came terrible bully-he came of fight
ing StOck-and soon ne was the terror
of the neighborhood which he had en-
tered. He returned to Major Hillard's
recently on a visit but was promptly
elected after he had tried to kill the
cat. Then he went over to Joseph
Wipert's and gave the latter's dog a
ithrashing From Wiperts he passed
on and laid out a pet belonging to
Joseph billy, and then went across the
border line upon Farmer Van hester S
land. billy saw him and shot him. and
now is sued by his neighbor for mali
cious mischief and trespass. Dilly con-
tends that Van hester cannot recover
as he never owned the dog, and threat
ems to bring a cross suit for damages
on account of his injured bull terrier.
Wipert, whose pet was so badly in
jured that it died, is waiting to bring
suit for damages as soon as Squire
Sarge determines who owned the dog

Cannot STAY Out Late.

The famous Mosier ordinance, pro-
viding that all children under 16 years
of age shall leave the streets at .
o'clock, when curfew rings, has gone
into effect and is rigidly enforced at
saltwater, MINI. Any child found on
the street after 9 o'clock is compelled
if not the child is either home or to the
city Jail, and parents notified that they
must aid in enforcing the ordinance
thereafter. Some boys are so venture
some that they remain out after the
bell has tolled just for the purpose of
tantalizing the officers, but several of
them have come to grief and to the
lookup. The ordinance has operated
very satisfactorily thus far, and that
other cities throughout the state can
see the good results of the movement
is demonstrated by the number of ap-
plications received from everywhere
for copies of the ordinance and for short
sketches of how it operates.

On Bad Handwriting.

One of the most important things for
boys or girls to learn to do is to write
plainly, so that those who have to read
what they write are left in no doubt as
to their meaning. Several amusing
stories of the embarrassment which has
followed not learning to write legibly
are told. One of these is of a MaSSa-
chusettS clergyman who nearly got HIM
self into a peck of trouble because of
the bad quality of his handwriting. 1t
was more than a century ago that this
clergyman had occasion to address
letter to the general court of Massa-
chusetts upon some subject of great in
terest at that time. When the letter
was received the court ordered the clerk
to read it, and was filled with wrath
at what appeared to be these words in
opening:
Il address you not as magistrates,
but as Indian devils"
What they cried. Read that
over again. How does he address us?"
Not as magistrates. but as Indian
DEVILS" repeated the clerk. That's
what he says"
The letter was passed around, and the
judges were by no means pleased to see
that the clerk had apparently made no
mistake. Very angry at what they be-
lieved to be an insult, the judges passed
a vote of censure upon the clergyman,
and wrote to him demanding an
apology. He came before them in per-
son, when it turned out that where the
judges had read Indian devils he had
written individuals-which, of course,
made an apology unnecessary; but the
reverend gentleman was admonished
to improve his handwriting if he wished
to keep out of trouble.

HypnotiZed a Boy.

Joseph Orr, a 12-year-old boy Of
Brooklyn, who was discovered wander

delirous since he was found. The doc

there is evidence that the boy was hyp-

caparisoned steed to his other accu-
mutations and rode away laughing
merrily.
