to help the digestion, after which they are
supplied with a second fruhstueck of
bread, with water tinged with red wine.
Immediately afterward they start on
their books again, but mental exercise is
mixed with physical, and an hour is spent
in gymnastics and horse exercise, which
lasts till lis. Thereupon they accompany
to dinner the military and civil governors
of the castle, and following this they have
a brief breathing time to themselves.
But the happy moments soon flee away,
and again they have to be at their eXer-
cisces-this time science and music, till
o'clock. Then supper is served, and by s
O'Clock they are all snug in bed.
In sport and other manly exercises hey
are proficient and can ride as well with
out a saddle as most people can with.
Their military education is also pushed
to the utmost. and, that they should I'M
derstand the principles of war thoroughly,
a miniature fortress has been built for
them of solid masonry; the walls are
nine feet high. and in revolving towers
the beleaguered have the opportunity of
repelling hostilities by means of miniature
Krupp guns and all the latest implements
of modern warfare
A part of their education is also devoted
to the gentler arts of peace. In the royal
gardens each child has a plot of ground.
and each is his own gardener and is re-
Sponsible to headquarters for the mante-
nance of the said plot.
After riding lesson, too, they are nor
allowed to throw the reins of the ponies
to a groom and then walk off. Every
prince has to take his pony to its stan
unsaddie 1t, and put everything in its
proper place before leaving.

Mrs. sa1vyer's S2O,O 900 Cow.
From the chicago Times-Herald

FROM the chicago Times Herald.
1t was in 1881. when Mr.. Sawyer was
seeking his first election to the United
States Senate, that Col. Calkins said to
him; "Mr. Sawyer. one of the Winnebago
county assemblymen, Mr. Jones, here, Is
all right on the bill which proposes 20
pay me for work 1 did for the state over
twenty years ago, but l don't know how
the others stand. / wish you would fix
them up for me-"
OF course, the colonel was testing. Nr.
Sawyer was amused, and told one of the
few funny stories he ever INDUCED in.
"Calkins," said the SENATOR your re-
quest for help on that printing bill re-
minds me of an experience 1 had a good
many years ago. When we we're living
on my farm at Rosendale it became neces
sary to sell a COW. The buyer wanted a
certain cow or none at all. It happened
to be the COW l had given to my wife.
/ went into the house and told my wife.
She, the good soul, said: Sell her. but I
want the money / sold the cow, gave
my wife a couple of dollars and said :
Call on me when you want more When
she wanted to buy a dress, bonnet or
wedding present she would ask for some
of that COW money. 1 had paid back
several thousand dollars of the cow money
and was wondering when the demand
would cease. A house was built 1t had
to be furnished. We figured up what
the furnishing would cost. 1t amounted
to several thousand dollars. said: Wife.
I'll pay the balance of that COW money
and you can pay for furnishing the hous.
with it, 1t was bargain, and the COW
deal was over"
The $40 COW cost the old senator not
far from $4,000, but he never complained
at the price.

Guests and Family WbrshiD.

There is probably no mistress of a
household who has not felt an uncertain
hospitality about asking her guests 10
join in her family worship. Everyone
has acquaintanccs they would not hest
tate to ask to their table, and would hest
tate to ask to their home altar. Per
haps the reluctance arises from dis
similarity of creed, and fear of Of
Tense in consequence. More likely it
arises from that sin of restraining spir-
itual confidence, which is peculiarly
besetting one in this materialistic age,
for the diversity of creed is no bar.
Prayer has nothing to do with creeds
men of every creed. and men of no creed
may meet together at the feet of one
Heavenly Father. The reluctance more
likely arises from that weak shame
facedness that too often prevents SYM
pathy between friends on spiritual sun
jects. They. are afraid to be misundel-
stood, smiled at, criticised.
This latter dilemma is one that even
good and great men have not always
met bravely, for when DR.. Fuller once
had some guests of great quality and
fashion-God- fearing as he was-hc
omitted his family worship on their ac-
count. This act, which he bitterly re-
pented, he designated as "a bold bash

The Spring Bonnet.

The spring bonnet being the subject of
the hour and niilliner's bill the one
thing that upsets the mildest tempered
man, it is perhaps ,apropos to relate that
the Nineteenth Century husband is not
the only one who ever got into a rage
because he could not understand why a
bit of lace and an aigrette the conibina-
ton not larger than a tea plate, should
cost as much as a half dozen of his own
chapeauX. Napoleon the Great is an IL
lustrious example of anger such as this.
France called the Empress Josephine
La Bonnie Josephine, but she was espe-
cially good to bonnet-makers. being a
on record that she once bought thirty
eight bonnets in one month. No one
knows at what number her mighty hus-
band drew the line, but it is a fact that
having learned that she had INDUCED
herself with the acquisition of this
large number, he-when he one day
went into the salon leading; to her apart
the milliner, with a large pile of suspi
cious-looking bandboXes-was so indis-
nant at the idea of his wife making
fresh purchases that he few into such
passion that everyone ran away. leaving
him to decide whether he would vent his
rage Oh poor Josephine. who was a priS-
oner with her feet in footbath, or OH
the millincr herself.
He did a little of both He was so
angry with Josephine that she was
speechless with terror, and he sent for
Savary. the minister of police. and Or
dered him to arrest Mile. Despeaux. She
was sent to La Force Immediately. and.
though her fear of Napoleon and hor-
ror of night in prison made her i'll.
her fortune was probably made by this
startling outbreak of imperial temper
for next day nearly everyone in Paris
tiocked to see her, hear her story and
condole with her.
Josephine was soon forgiven. Napo-
leon could never hold out long against
her sweetness and affection, though even
in the early years of their marriage he
began to entertain the thought Of the d.
vorce which was so soon to blight her
happiness.
Let us trust that end-of-the-century
wives may also be forgiven for buying
two hats when they only need one. but
may. they not find divorce following so
quickly in the wa Ike of indulgence as did

She Robbed Uncle Sam by Patching Ul
Odd n}lls

The story of the rise and fall ce En-
nestine Becker has never been trutAfuly
told itl print She was the ingenious
woman who, being employed in the re-
demption division, devised d method of
making nine notes out Of eight: OF

from one note and paste it Upon another,

thus obtained that the original material
of eight notes, SERVED to COMPOSE nine,
leaving one bill over for herself. This
was very profitable; ,inasihuch as she
was able to deal with fifties and hun
dreds,; she never bothered with notes of
less, than $40:
There is no telling how long she prose
cuted this business: She did it with the
utmost b1ldness; and there is every rea-
son to believe that she carried It On for
a number of years. Her profits may be

money which She lad made d~ up was
torn by accident, 1t was handed over
to another clerk to be repaired, and the
latter employee counted it again, accord
ing to the established usage.
The first thing that excited her atten-
ton was that the numbers on the tops
and bottoms of some of the notes did
not match. Nevertheless she suspected
nothing. 1t was evident that the notes
had been patched wrongly. Accordingly
she soaked them in water and put them
together properly. AS result she had a
less number of notes and less amount
by $3.50 than had been indicated. This
discovery resulted in an investigation.
Ernestine claimed that the money had
reached the treasury and had been hand
ed to. her in the shape in which it was
found. Proof to the contrary could hard
ly be obtained, and so no prosecution
was attempted. The woman made good
the $3.50. A Washington real estate
agent, who died the other day, swal-
lowed the fortune which was thus Grim
inally acquired. The woman died not
long ago of cancer in a New York hos
