A Royal l,icture.

Years ago, when staying in Berlin, was conducted over the private rooms of the royal family in the Berlin schloss. The old emperor's rooms were strewn with bibelotB so numerous and so charming that n young princess might have cnvied them. On his birth day gifts of every sort, with punches of his favorite corntlo,yer, were sent to hlm from all parts of the kingdom. Blue was the predominant color of the decorations, and lapis-lazuli vases and ornaments were there in dozens. What struck me most of all his possessions was picture painted in water colors by Empress Frederick, then crown princess. 1t consisted of large bunch of gay flowers, and in the center Of each flower peepcd forth the head of one of the eml".ror's little grandchildren. In a withered violet was the baby face of Prince Sigismund, who, it will be re- mempercd, dIed when he was but two years old. Old Gen. Field Marshal Wrangel was godfather to the tiny child. and gave him, remember, sol dier's cap to wear. After his death the crown princess returned it to the gen cral, and sewn inside was one of her darling's fair tiaxen curIs.-Ihe Wom- an at Home.

TOASTED TO A TURN.
Sister Caroline Cot Even with the Man
 Who Had Dcsp,sed Her Love.

Who Had Dcsp,sed Her Love.
 There was scene and u sensation at the Calvary Baptist church (coloredD on n recent Sunday. A covenant" or experience meeting was in progress, and Sister Caroline, of some 50 sum- mers, had the floor. She began in the usual orthodox form of telling her ex- perience, but shifted to recital of her personal grievance against Brother Jackson, whose arrival with his bride upon his arm had turned the course of her remarks. The way she roasted him was highly entertaining, if not edify- ing Rev. Mir. Parish attempted to call her down, but she insisted upon having her say out. Unable to control her, he sought to overcome her harangue with a song, and so gave out hymn. For awhile the sisters voice could be heard above the united tones of the congrega- tion. She continued to talk against the overwhelming odds until her voice gave way under the strain and she fell ex- hausted in the seat.
 Here is the way she began her ex- perience recital.
 "I praise de Lawd dat he has lowed me to lib to see dis day. De great AL mighty is CT merciful God He is a just Lawd, an will not stand round an see eny ob his poor creeters suffer wrong. De Lawd has been berry helpful to me. He has fed me when l WIZ hungry, an have been naked an he clothed me. He hab put money in my purse" Just then Brother Jackson appeared with his bride and the sister changed the key of her discourse. "Oh, Lawd, I thank thee that thou has been so good to me. thank thee, oh, Lawd, that thou hast 'nabled me to feed Brother Jackson, who done got married to another in violation of his promise to marry me. l thank thee that thou hast 'nabled me to give him six shirts and has helped me to raise de eight dollars for him to buy pair of new shoes. Oh, Lawd, I thank thee that he hab libed sl my house whole year without payin' board. thank thee, oh, Lawd, that l raised, by thy 1 help, the money to send Brother Jack son ter Chicago And now, oh. Lawd, he hab come back an school have be- gun, he has not kept his promise to marry me. But, oh, Lawd, how grate- ful am dat can say dis bright day in de language of de pharisce, that I am not as other men am' No. Lawd. your own Caroline am still lbing in hopes oh an eternal salvation. an if it is pos sible, Lawd, pray thee 10 save Brother Jackson, for berrily, I say unto him, 'ye know not what ye do.'
 Naturally the congregation was con vulsed, and Rev. Mr. Parish. after in effectual efforts 10 quiet his sister, thus addressed the congregation:
 Brethren, we cannot permit our mis- | guided sister to go on. Sing the long meter doxology and keep singing itun- til she takes her seat."-Louisville Times.

QUEEN AND THE "ORB."

How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
 the Co;onation.
 In the coronation the ceremonies last cd more than four hours, and trough out the queen played her part with wonderful compostrc. Care. says a writer in the Westminster Budget. had been taken to provide crown suitable for her small head, but TO one ha'l thought about reducing the size of the orb which she wal required to carry il her tiny hand.
 What am I to do with it?" she asked in concern. s
 Garry it, your majesty" replied Lord John Thyme.
 Am I? It is very heavy the queen answered in tone of amazcment. How ever, it was too late to protest, and she obeycd the exigenclcs of the situation.
 A worse mistake had been made with regard to the ruhy coronation ring. The jeweler had made 1t to fit her maj csty's little finger, whereas the arch bishop declared that according 10 the rubric it must be put upon the larger finger, and accordingly forced it into that position. The queen bore her painfully swelling finger with tho same heroism that she c.irried the weighty orb. Afterward the finger was 50 much swollen that it had to be bathcd in ice water before the ring could be drawn off.

SHERMAN AS A BOY.
A Youthful Prank Recalled by Him After
 Gaining Fame.

Gaining Fame.
 Among my school adventures at Mount Vernon, says the Memoirs of Senator Sherman, was one I heartily regret. We had teacher by the name of Lord He was a small man and not able to coT;e with several of the boys in the school. We called him "Dunty Lord" One evening after school four boys. of whom I was one, while playing on the commons, found n dead sheep.
 lt was suggested that we carry the sheep into the schoolroom and place it on Lords seat. This was promptly done, and l wrote Latin couplet, pur porting that this was very worthy sacrifice to very poor Lord, and placed it on the head of the sheep. The next morning Lord found the sheep and made a great outcry against the indig- nity. Efforts were at once made to as certain the actors in this farce, and proof was soon obtained. My hand writing disclosed my part in the case, and the result was prompt discharge Of the culprits from the school. but poor Lord lost his place because of his manifest inability to govern his un- ruly pupils.
