Speaking of the boy king of Spain
a correspondent of the congregational
ist says: 'There are many points in
the court Of etiquette of Spain that
make it hard to be a boy king. and
harder still to be the boy kings loving
mother. AS he was born a king little
Alfonso had to have a household Of
his own, with his own suite of rooms.
he cannot even dine at the same table
with his mother, nor can she perform
for him those tender little offices that
mothers delight in and children find
so comforting. The little king has to
go through the tedious state recep-
lions. Which weary him sadly and;
sometimes try his childish patience
beyond endurance. Once at a grand
church function the baby sat upon
his nurses knee all dressed in white:
as patient as baby could be. A bish
op had been holding forth for a good
hour, and everybody was doubtless
waiting for him to close. At last the,
little royal listener could bear it no
longer, for he is a high-strung little
man, and with glance of indignant
despair in the direction of the talker.
ne clutched at his party white hat and
cast it upon the floor. When his no.
bles were paying their compliments to
MIN on his second birthday their king
entertained himself by jumping uD
and down the steps OF his throne"

NO, IT IS not .,uzen salt, and It is not
Underground. On the contrary, this
remarkable lake may be seen at any
time during the year, fully exposed,
being even at it's best when the sun
is shining directly upon, it. This Won
derful body Of water is one of the
saltlest of the salt lakes, and is stu
ated near Obdorsk, Siberia.
The lake is nine miles wide and sew
enteen long, and, within the memory
OF man, was not entirely rooted over
by the salt deposit. Originally, evap-
Grafton played the most prominent
part int coating the lake over with
salt, but ut the present time the salt
springs which surround it are adding
fast to the thickness of the crust.
In ages gone by rapid evaporation Of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caked together. Thus in
the end the water was entirely COW
cred. In 1878 the lake found an un-
foreground outlet into the river Obi,
which lowered it's surface about three
feet.
The salt crust was so Trick, how
ever, that it retained it's own level
and now presents the curious specta-
Gle OF salt-roofed lake. The salt coat
Increases six. inches in thickness every
year.
The many islands with which the
lake is studded are said to act as
braces and to help keep the arched
salt-crust in it's position

Royal Courtesy.

A characteristic incident of a, VISIT
of the Prince and Princess of Wales
and their daughters to the general
postotfice has just become known. The
story is that, as they were passing
TN ough the telegraph department..
the prince suddenly marched I'D to an
operator and tapped him on the Shout
der. The telegraphist hastily dis
mounted from his stool and made a
respectful salutation to the prince.
The reply Of his royal highness was to
take the young mans hand and shake
1t heartily, an example which. was fol-
lowed by the princess and the rest of
the royal fmily. 1t was afterward ex-
planned that this telegrapbist was on
duty at Sandringham during the fatal
illness of the Duke of Clarence. The
story embodies two Of the princes
most charming chara cteristics. First.
lis great gift of retaining in memory
the faces of those he has known evar
SO slightly. Secondly, his true royal
gratitude and swiftness in acknovl.
edging services rendered It'd Bits.

Laces in English Palaces.

The princess of Wales has just made
her daughter-in-law very handsome
present, namely, three founces of
most magnificent old English point
lace, said to be worth something IN four
figures. Some lace, of course, is as
valuable as precious stones-old Ven
etian point, point d'Alencon. the best
English point and others. Now, it is
very well known to the intimates of
Marlborough house that the princess
of Wales, who has always been one
of the best dressed women in Europe,
always keeping within the fashion.
though never countenancing eccen-
trlclty, has one cherished hobby in the
direction Of dress; a great fondness
for collecting lace, of which her royal
highness has great number of spec
linens of extreme beauty, value and
rarity, only equaled by the collection
possessed by the queen, who is also
great connoisseur of the same expen-
sive and beautiful fabrics.
1t is said that the princess of Wales
collection Of lace is worth in actual
money over ESQ, 900 (only this I think
is below the real fgure), while, if
associations are also taken into con-
sideration, some of the more historic
pieces are, of course, priceless. But
in historical laces, of course, the queen
beats the princess. for her majesty
possesses some magnificent laces, the
property of former SOvereignS, some
of the most beautiful having belonged
to katherine of Aragon.-London Let

What Is an Orehide

A horticultural journal seeks to rom
edy the popular inability to define
what an orchid is. People may know
an orchid when they see one: thew
may even be cognizant of the habits
and with the habitats of some of the
more hardy varieties, but to give a
definition at sight would certuinly be
impossible to many. A plant which is
not peculiar to any zone, which is
found in the frigid equally with the
torrid, which has at least 10000 va
:ieties already known to man, of whom
some grow from roots, some from a
bulb Tor from pseudo-bulh), some grow
ing in trees, some creeping on the
ground, some of the plants completely
covering huge logs and trunks, others
growing of the size and with the pro-
fusion of the daisy; such a plant, such
a variety of plants, must needs have
something in common to enable the
perplexed botanist to classify and to
catalogue his specimens. Every or
child flower consists of three petals
and three sepals. Under the micro
scope every difference apparent to the
naked eye disappears, and one sees
that, whereas, in other plants the or
gans of reproduction are separate, in
the orchid they are, in each case, fused
together. Orchids have the style and
the stamens in common with othe~
plants; but they bear the stigmata un-
derneath, while at the tip are the pol
len grains.

THE BUCKEYE STATE CONTRIB
UTES THIS STORY.
How Fred Taylor, of tho Gallant l80th
n. r, v. l., Finally Found
What He Sought,

CFrom the Ashtabula. Ohio, Beacon.)
. Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near Elmira, N. Y, and from there
enlisted in the 1S9th regiment. N. Y, ".
l., with which he went through the war,
and saw much hard service. Owing to
exposure and hardships during the SER
vice, Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic
diarrhoea from which he has suffered
now over 80 years, with absolutely no
help from physicians. BY nature he
was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
he not been his disease and the expert
ments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the. only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter;
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour a day
on an average, and he was reduced to
skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the
change in health came not. Finally on
the recommendation of F. J. Hoffner,
the leading druggist of Geneva, who
was cognizant of similar cases which
Pink Pills had cured, Mr.. Taylor was
persuaded to try box. "As a drown
ing man grasps straw so I took the
pills" says Mr.. Taylor, ''but with no
more hope of rescue. But after thirty
years Of suffering and fruitless search
for relief I at last found 1t in DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills. The day after I took
the first pills commenced to feel better
and when I had taken the first box I
was in fact a new man." That was
two months ago. Mr.. Taylor has since
taken more Of the pills and his progress
is steady and he has the utmost con-
fdence in them. He has regained full
control Of his nerves and sleeps as we'll
as in his youth. Color is coming back
to his parched veins and he is gaining
flesh and strength rapidly. He is now
able to do considerable outdoor work.
AS he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings, experience and cure to a Beacon
reporter Mrs. Taylor said she
wished to add her testimony in
favor of Pink Pills. ITO the pills alone
is due the credit of raising Mr.. Taylor
from helpless invalid to the man he is
to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Taylor can not find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering
humanity. Any inquiries addressed to
them at Geneva, Ohio, regarding Mr.
Taylor's case they will cheerfully an
swer as they are anxious that the whole
world shall know what Pink Pills have
done for them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They arc for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine company,
N. Y, for so cents per box,
OF six boxes for $3.50.

SHADOW.

It falls before. it follows behind, #
Darkest still when the day is bright;
No light without the shadow we find.
And never shadow without the light.
From our shadow we cannot fee away:
It walks when we walk, it runs when
we run; e.
But it tells which way to look for the
sun;
We may turn our backs on it any day.
!;
Ever mingle the light and the shade
That make this human world so dear;
Sorrow or joy is ever made,
And what were a hope without fear?
A morning shadow DER youth is cast,
Warning from pleasures dazzling
snare,
A shadow frightening across the past,
Fixes our fondest memories there.
One shadow there is, so dark, so drear,
So broad we see not the brightness
round it;
Yet it's but the dark side of the sphere
Moving into the light unbounded.

THE CHAMPION SWEARER.
He> Was Cured of the Habit by q
Simple Stratagem.


Among the eutre characters of Ayr
more than 100 years ago there was
none so remarkable as little oldish
man who was ordinarily called the
Devil Almighty" He had acquired
this terrific sobriquet from an inveter-
ate habit of swearing, or rather from
that phrase being his favorite oath.
He was no ordinary swearer, no min
GER Of dreadful words, no clipper of
the kings curses. Being a man Of
violent passions, he had habit when
provoked of shutting his eyes and
launching headlong into a torrent of
blasphemy, such as might, if properly
divided, have set up whole troop of
modern sWearerS.
The custom of shutting his eyes
seemed to be adopted by him as sort
of salve to his conscience. He seemed
to think that provided he did not "sin
with his eyes open" he did not sin at
all; or it was perhaps nothing but a
habit. Whatever might be the cause
or purpose of the habit it was once
made the means of playing off upon
him a most admirable hoax. Being
one evening in tavern along with
two neighboring country gentlemen,
he was, according to concerted plan,
played upon and irritated. OF course,
he soon shut his eyes and commenced
his usual TRADE of execration and
blasphemy. AS soon as he was fairly
afoat and his eyes were observed to
be hard shut, his companions put out
the candles so as to involve the room
in utter darkness.
In the course of a quarter of an
WI hn
of his parOXysms, he ceased to speak
and opened his eyes, when what was
his amaZement to find himself in the
dark. "How now? Am 1 blind?'
"Blind," exclaimed one of the COM
pany, what should make you blindy'
"Why, I can see nothing" answered
the sinner. THAT is your own fault,
coolly observed his friend, ''for my
part I can see we'll enough" and he.
drank a toast as if nothing had hap
pened. This convinced the blasphemer'
that he had lost his sight, and to add;
to his horror it struck him that Provi-
dence had inflicted the blow as pun
ishment for his intolera BILE wicked
ness. Under this impression he began
to rave and cry, and he finally fell into
praying, utterlng such expressions as
made his two companions ready to-
burst with restrained laughter.
When they thought they had pun
ished him sufficiently and began to
fear that his mind might be affected
if they continued the joke any longer,
one of them went to the door and adj
mitted the light. The old blasphemer
was overwhelmed with shame at the
exhibition he had been compelled to
make, which had such an effect that
from that time forward he entirely
abandoned his abominable habit.-Kl
