in the daytime as in the evening.

chosen for party gowns, and this sea-

PRINCESS MAUD.

writer in the Queen, to one of the
Marlborough House officials, who has
been member of the Prince of
Wales's household for many years, and
who gave me some not uninteresting
information in regard to the Princess
Maud of Wales, the news of whose be-
trothal to one of the Danish Princes
was recently announced. Both she
and her sister, Victoria, are gentle,
cultured. unassuming girls, as unlike
the traditional idea of royal Prin-
cesses in their manners as may we'll be
conceived. Both of them shrink from
the formal etiquette which at, times
they are compelled to follow, and they
are never SO happy as when on rare oc-
casions they are enabled to pass few
days, or even few hours, incognito.
1t is only week or two ago that I
noticed them myself trotting about
the Westminster Aquarium and gaz-
ing at all the sights therein to be seen,
in company with their royal mother
and few members of the household,

cousins. Princess Maud has a weak

Long Days on the Ranch.

Sim Whackulip and Ru Hacketon
were two cowpunchers employed by
old man G)ibey, and clause in their
contract specified the hours of labor
to be from sunup to sundown. Way
up in lofty mountain park ranged
the beef steers of old man Glibey,
culling the rank grasses and piling on
pounds of fat. Sim and Ru were close
herding the steers, and sat in the sad
die from dawn till dusk, masticating
plug tobacco and bewailing their lot
in life.
"Pm no calamity howler, said Sim,
''but it does seems to me that the days
up here are uncommon long. They
pear heap longer than down in
Texas. and pecooliar, too, the nights
are heap shorter. What's the mat

Ru was more taciturn, but coincid-

days were lengthy and suggested that
perhaps the agreement calling for

their imasinations.

WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN PRISONS.

In Austria, woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or
treated quite as criminal. She may
rob, burn, kill--set every law at de-
fance, in fact, and break all the COM
mandments in turn-without fear of
ever being called upon to face the gal
lows. She is not even sent to an ordi-
nary prison to do penance for her
sins the hardest fate that can befall
her, indeed, is to be compelled to take
up her abode for time In a convent
There the treatment meted out to her
is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy seasoned, and none
too well, with justice. Even in Off
cial reports she is an ''erring sister"
-one who has, it is true, strayed from
the narrow path, but quite inyolun-
tarily. Magazine.
