Spring at Kings Palace.

The annual spring opening at Kings
Palace is on just now. with the natural
result that the store Is daily thronged with
women who are anxious to learn just what
is the latest in styles, and to take advant-
age of the many bargains offered. 1t may
be anything but spring-like outside, yet
within the mammoth store all is gay and
bright with promise Of pleasanter weather
to come. BY the liberal use of artificial
flowers the whole place has been made to
resemble one great bower. and the scene is
a most attractive one. In the millinery de-
partment there is a magnificent display for
which the shops of Paris have been drawn
upon with lavish hand, so that the dream
Of every woman as to what spring bon
net should be can be realized here. The
opening also includes magnificent display
Of spring wraps and cloaks, dress stuffs
and fancy goods of kind to suit the most
fastidious taste. In the big 7th street
window there Is wonderful representation
of an engine and tender in full operation,
but made Of ribbons, silks, velvets and
ruchings. 1t catches every eye, and at
tracts crowds of the passersby. The open
ing was to have closed today, but, owing to
the inclement weather, the management
have decided to continue 1t through the
rest of the week.

RUINED BY A CONTRACT.
An Iron Founder Undertakes Something

An Iron Founder Undertakes Something
 Outside of His Line.
 The founder of the Vendome column in Paris met with financial ruin in his contract. The French government, when it decided to erect the notable column, entered into contract with an iron founder, says the Philadelphia Record. He knew nothing whatever of modelling or casting in bronze. The government agreed to supply him witii cannon captured from the Russians and Austrians during the campaign of 1895, in quantities sufficient to found the monument. The contractor, know ing nothing of the phenomena which the fusion of bronze offers, found when two-thirds of the column was con- pleted that he had used up all his metal. Sufficient bronze had been given him to complete the monument, and he was responsible for the entire amount. Finding himself face to face with bank ruptcy he melted up his scoriae and mixed the metal with cheap refuse which he purchased, and so completed the founding. The castings, however, were found to be so full of flaws that the work was stopped, and the founder ruined. The holdings of the different parts of the bas-relief were so badly executed that the chiselers who repaired the defects removed no less than 70 tons of bronze. They received for their labor Z 12,000, to which was added the 70 tons of bronze, which became their perquisites. The whole transaction was very, very French.

BARRIERS IN AUSTRIA.

They Must Serve in All Cases a Three
 Years Apprenticeship.
 The Austrians take no chances with their barbers, says the New York World. They must be good, and the Barbers' and Wigmakers' union of Vienna sees to it that they are. Provision is also made in their code for women barbers who desire to carry oI the business of of their husbands in case of the latter's death or illness.
 But in order to do this the wife must have been enrolled in the union as an ap- prentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must appear in Vienna in the presence of judges of the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own.
 A properly certified barber must have a knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair-cutting, hair-curling and wig-making, and during the period before the issuance of a certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment.
 At the examination the young men have their razors dulled by four strokes in a pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tonsorially perfect, ill the opinion of the judges, when the apprentice has released him.
 After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as Q journeyman before he may open shop as an employer. The average age of ap- prentices when they begin to learn their trade is 13 years.

Its fibers shrink some now and they are even finer than they were. They may be a foot in length; sometimes nearly two feet They are brown, some punches being dark and some of lighter shade.
 As the children of the carpenter adorn themselves with shavings from their fathers workbench, so do the children of the fishermen with the ser tularia cast up from the sea. Its fibers are pretty nearly straight, so they can- not be made to serve as ringlets, as curly shavings do, but the girls take the longer, finer punches, which are us ually the lighter in shade, and make of them long brown tresses. The boys make great mustaches of the sertu- laria, and flowing Dundreary whiskers and sober boards.

AN HONORABLE VEGETABLE.
The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana

The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana
 conda (Mont.) Onion Society.
 The nutritious and wholesome onion occasionally finds it's vindicators. At the thriving Montana city of Anaconda there is a dining club called the Ana conda Onion society. Its first feast was recently given with distinguished sue cess.
 Down the center of the hall, says the Anaconda Standard, was set a long table, with cover for all the guests. At each plate was a large and juicy onion; in the middle of the table was an array of meats, bread, fruit-crackers, cheese and other things.
 At one end of the hall foated the standard of the club in proud conspic- uousness. It consisted of pole sur mounted by string of the vegetables from which the socity takes it's name. On the wall hung this motto, beautifully wrought:
 IN ONION THERE IS STRENGTH.
 Each member wore pretty bouton- nier of little onions. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by all the participants and the society hopes to do much to re- store the onion to the honor and esteem Of the world.
 In Montana, as well as on the whole of the Pacific slope, the onion attains a deliciousness of quality which is com paratively unknown on the eastern side of the continent. If the people of the east could have onions as good as those of Montana and California, it is possible that the Anaconda Onion society might find imitators in the east.

Named After Royalty.

According to the invariable custom of the duke of Richmond's family it is prescribed that the eldest son and the eldest son of the eldest son shall be named after King Charles H., to whom they owe so much. The same principle is preserved in Lord Salisbury's family, where the eldest sons are named James, after James l., who bestowed the earl dom of Salisbury and viscounty of Cran- borne on the original founder of the house.

BRAVE AND COOL.
A Philadelphia Tenement-House Fire De-
 velops a Young Heroine.


 In January last Philadelphia tene- ment house was burned. Two men were killed and several persons were badly injured, while others escaped in an al- most miraculous manner. The fourth floor was occupied by the family of Joseph Zellers. The father and mother seem to have been absent, but the five children were at home. All were saved through the bravery and coolness of the oldest of them, a girl of 16, whose conduct is briefly described by the Rec ord:
 Jenny Zellers was dressing the chil- dren, the youngest mere babe, when cloud of smoke came into the room and at the same time the frantic cries of those below reached her ears.
 Hastily opening the door, she saw the flames leaping up the stairway toward her. Never hesitatinS, she closed the door, and calling the children together forced them up ladder and through trap-door to the roof. They were ele- vated high above the surrounding build ings, and below them the flames were roaring with terrible fury.
 Still retaining her presence of mind, the brave girl dropped her brother, a lad of IA, to the roof of the house to the south. It was fall of ten feet, but the boy landed safely, and then the girl braved the fire in her doomed home to secure a quantity of bedding.
 This she threw to her brother, who arranged it on the roof, and then, one by Che, she dropped the other children. The infant she took in her arms and leaped with it in safety to the bedding. Next she broke skylight in the roof to which all had escaped, and lowering the children through it, they all reached the street.

Malcom, the first king of Scotland, who lived in the eleventh century, was put to death by Macbeth, perhaps not exactly as described by Shakespeare, but at all events the plot of the great dramatist's play is strictly true to his tory. The Scottish monarchy is of much antiquity, Malcom having been the 5sth reigning sovereign after Fergus L., founder of the kingdom.
