John Bull Bachs Up Spain.
by Associated Press to THE TIMEs.

LONDON, March 2O.-The Post this
morning in an editorial on the Alliance
affair says: On the whole ia seems that
Spain was fully justified in her action.
1t can hardly be contended thata sus-
pected breachlof neutrality to Americans
should BIO loft to the American govern
ment to punish. Americas recent de-
claration shows that filibustering ex.
petitions were expected. Spain's right
to protect herself against the secret
supporters of her revolted subjects can
not be Justly contested.

WOMEN THAT MEN LIKE.

Men do not like strong-minded, indie

enough to let them See how grand and
great she thinks them, is not one whit
overawed by their superiority. A wom-
an need not be fippant to show that
she is not afraid, but there are many
little actions that prove she is respect
full yet at the same time thoroughly
aware that the superior masculine crea-
ture is. after all, only very human be-
ing, who in all probability is good
deal more afraid OF her little feminine
ways than she is of him. Notwith-
standing all cynical assertions to the
contrary, the Philadelphia Times holds
that there are some most delightful
friendships existing between men and
women that have in them no thought
of love. There is mental congeniality
as well as an attraction of opposites
that proves very delightful to many .

insight of a companionable woman and
the ready wit that punctuates her con-
versation is to him as1champagne COM

ciates, yet they never act as though
they knew their own worth. Therein

THE BARON OF BEEF.

How It Il Prepared for the Queens
Sideboard.
Few untraveled Americans have ever
seen q royal baron of beef.
The baron is generally about the
available half of huge beef creature,
and the roasting Of this ancient Yule-
tide joint is still kept up with much
state and ceremony in the household Of
her gracious majesty at Windsor.
The baron having been selected is
roasted in front of the great kitchen
fire at Windsor, two cooks being kept
busy basting its sides. The ceremony
always attracts small crowd Of privi-
lodged persons from the household, who
watch with interest the progress of the
joint which, on Christmas day, will ap-
pear cold on the royal sideboard at o.
borne.
One Of the bears from the queens
herd in Windsor's Great park must also
fall . sacrifice to Christmas gayety, for
the boar's head will flank the baron Of
beet on the royal sideboard.
In the olden day the ceremony of
bringing in the baron Of beef was as
picturesque and entertaining as that
now associated with the boar's head,
but in time it died out.
1t was formerly accompanied by the
singing Of a kind of musical grace, and
the servants, including the cooks and
basters. followed it in long procession.
