lily. The story of the adoption OF the
fleur-dc- lis as national emblem Is curl
ous and interesting. Clovis, king OF the
Franks, married Princess Cloulde of
Burgundy in the year 493 A. D. The
Young queen was Christian, ard II
was her earnest desire that her husband,
a heather Frank, might be converted.
Her arguments had 10 effect upon him,
but an incident which occurred III bat
tie later on changed his mind In the
year 496 Clovis and his Franks met the
fierce Allemanni (Germans) III battle at
Tolbiac.
Clovis was finally so hard pressed that
he called or the God ct the Christians
for help, vowing on his honor that II ne
sbould be victorious he would become
Christian Within the hour the Allc'
manni were routed and Oh Christmas
day of the same year Clovis and several
thousands of his soldiers were baptized
into the Christian church. According to
the story, on the eve OF the baptism all
angel from heaven appeared and pre-
sented Clovis with blue banner, en-.
broidered with beautiful fieUr-de-lls.
These heaven embroidered lilies were
forthwith adopted as the French en-
blem, and from that time until the time
of the revolution all kings of France
bore upon their arms some kind OF Il
representation of the fleur-de-lls. First
tho nrmber Tins worn varied according
TO the taste of the monarch, but during
the two or three centuries preceding the
fall of the monarchy the regulation
number was only three &c.

V;cforv For the Massachusetts.

We think that the decision Of the cx-
ecutive council to present the battleshlp
Massachusetts with bronze statue of
Victory will be accepted as the most
fitting tribute that could be devised.
The figure, which will be life size, will
be placed upon the forward 13 inch turret
and will make an imposing appearance.
1t is far superior to silver soup turcen
or something of that sort for the ward
room, because it is a gift to the ship.
Poor Jack comes in fer it as well as the
habitues of the quarter deck; besides, it
is source of inspiration which will be
sure to tell ON the fighting calibcr of the
crew. The vessel carrying such a token
will never strike her flag. Boston Com

A Queer Roman Custom.

A popular institution i'll Rome is the
"Carciofolata" (fcast of artichokes)
Whole societies go to the Ghetto, or
what was once the Ghetto, where there
are still a few Jewish taverns where
artichokes arc cooked in true Jewish
fashion-only Jews having the secret to
cook them a Ia Judee. Roman cooks
try to initiate them, but cannot succeed
perfectly. This year the "Carciofolata'
was more than usually amusing from
the fact that all went to it On bicycles,
and the bicycles were ornamented with
flowers, ribbons and cOlored lamps The
procession was headed by music, and
right merry was the party when it en-
tered the "Ceuci" tavern. The streets
were crowded to see the bicyclists pass.

Colonel joseph LcGcl.

A veritable Ohio party sat in the lob
bv Of the Raleigh the other evening,
when fully half dozen Buckeyes
Joined each other by chance. One Of
them was Major George Anderson of
Springfield.
"Our city will probably next spring
enjoy the distinction Of having the
smallest mayor in the wcrld,' said he.
"All that is lacking is his election, for
he has announced himself as a candi-
date. His name is Colonel Joseph Leffcl.
His popularity is very great. He is one
Of the most noted personagcs in the
world, and is even smaller than Cen
eral Tom Thumb. Repeated fabulous
offers have been made to him to travel
for exhibition purposes, but he has al
WAYS declined, and turned his attention
to raising fancy poultry and pet dogs,
from which he made quito fortune.
"Coloncl Leffcl was EOrn in 1888. 1t
is said his father was feet inch high
in his stocking feet, and that his moth
or weighed 200 pounds. He married a
little lady scarcely larger than himself,
and they have four pretty children, all
Of normal size. The candidate once was
a member Of the city council. "-Wash-

ROYAL CHILDREN.
The Daily Routine of the German Emper-
o.'s Children.

The Daily Houtino of the German Empef-
o-'s Children.
How the German emperor will bring
up his only daughter is no subject OF
wonGcrment 10 the Berlincrs. They
know that. princess rs she IS, she Will
be taught to be good housewife, to
sew, to cock, perhaps, ard TO order DIM
nor certainly. Fer the sovcrclgn's ideal
woman is strictly domestic person, as
his ideal man is stout soldier. His ilt-
tie boys haven't much fun III their daily
lives. Concerning these lives a sketch
says:
In the Spartan upbringing of his chill
dren the kaiser rivals his ancestor,
Friedrich Wilhelm Of Prussia. Accord
ing to Klausmann' ''Lcbcn i'll Dcutsch-
Gn KaiScrhaus, the life of the royal
children at Berlin is not swcetcned by
hours Of inactivity. In their years or
infancy the kaiscrin ministers to almost
all their wants, spends a good part Of
the day with them, and enters into all
their amuscments. When the princes
arrive at the age Of 9 things are all
changed and it is all work. They are
then allowed about IN hour and half
out of their waking hours to themselves;
all the rest OF their day is spent i'll study
and physical training. Even i'll holiday
time their tutors accompany them to
supcrintcnd their studies.
Here, for example, is all ordinary
days work for the crown prince and his
two brothers. In summer the happy
dreams of childhood are disturbed at 6
O'Clock. in winter at 7. Breakfast, con-
sistirs of one cup Of tea and roll, is
served at 7:3O. From until 9 80 they
are hard at work at lessons, to help the
digestion Of which they are supplied
with a second frauhstuck of bread, with
water tingcd with red wine. Immedi-
atcly aftcrward they start Oh their books
again, but mental exercise is mixed
with physical, and an hour is spent III
gymnastics and horse exercise, which
lasts till :l5. Thereupon they accom-
pany 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 fee away and again they have to
be at their cxercises-this time science
and music till 6 o'clock. Then supper IS
served, and by O'Clock they are all
snug III bed.
In sport and other manly exercises
they arc proficient and can ride as we'll
without a saddle as most people can
: with. Their military education is also
pushed to the utmost, and that they
should understand the principles Of war
thoroughly, a miniature fortress has
been built for them of solid masonry.
The walls are nine feet high, and in
the revolving towers the belcaguered
have tie opportunity of rcpclling hes
tiitics by means of miniature krupp
guns and all the latest implements Of
modern warfare.-Philadelphia Ledger
