Idaho's Island Wonder.

Henry lake is beautiful body of wa
ter with an area of about Al square
miles and is situated on the dome of
the continent in a depression in the
Rocky mountains near Targees pass,
Idaho. Henry lake is of no consequence
itself, but it is the ''home" of most
wonderful floating island, which is seen
first on one side of the lake and then on
the other. The island is about 800 feet
in diameter and has for its basis mat
of roots and decayed vegetation suffi-
cient to support large trees and dense
growth Of underbrush. The edges of
this floating island are thin, of course,
but near the center it is several feet
thick and Of sufficient strength to sup
port a good sized summer hotel, if some
one could be found that would care to
make such venture. There is a good
sized willow thicket near the center of
the island, and scattered around among
them are several dwarf pines and asp
ems. These trees catch the breeze which
is continually blowing over this highly
situated lake, and, acting as sails on a
boat, move the 300 foot island hither
and thither over the 40 square miles of
water at their will Old mountaineers
who are well used to all kinds of queer
things declare that the floating island
Of Henry lake is the most wonderful
thing to be seen in the mountain regions
of the United States. Louis Re-

The Clerk Paid 1t.

During Andrew Jackson's presidency
a certain clerk in the treasury depart
ment showed a marked disinclination
to paying his board bill. He had signed
notes, but his landlady could collect no
money. In despair she went to the
White House to see Jackson. She told
her story, and he requested her to get
the clerks note for the account She
obeyed and carried the note to Andrew
jackson, who, after glaneing over it,
affixed his signature to the back. "Now,
madam" said he, "put that in the
bank, and we shall see which of us shall
have to pay you the money" The note
was duly deposited and was paid by the
clerk, who afterward apologized to
Jackson and promised to mend his ways.

'Tis just as pat and just as true
AS those that aft he flung.

And gri lds Gods poor. an a that,

SPANISH GRANDEES.
They Constitute the Real Aristocracy
the Haughty Nation.

They Constitute the Real Aristocracy of
the Haughty Nation.
Thereal aristocracy of Spain is limited
to the 245 grandees, many of them un-
titled, who enjoy innumerable privi-
leges, including those of remaining
seated and covered in the presence of
royalty and of access to the sovereign at
all times Admission to the grandeza is
exceedingly difficult to obtain, for it is
necessary to prove long line of blue
blooded ancestry, unsullied either on
the paternal or on the maternal side by
any plebeian strain. The ancient cere-
mony of comforting the grandeza-this
and the ceremony of inducting peer to
his seat in the house of lords constitute
the only forms of investiture of mobiles
that survive in the old worlds termed
an almohada and is exceedingly rare.
Queen Christina has held but two since
her husbands death; there were three
during the reign of King Alfonso XII.
One Of the latter was witnessed by a
writer in the New York Tribune, who
thus describes it:
''It took place in the small throne
room of the royal palace at Madrid. The
men of grandee rank were at the right
of the dais and the women at the left.
On the king exclaiming, Be seatedp
they all took their places upon tabourets,
or stools of carved wood, topped with
large purple velvet cushions. Everybody
else, such as the members of the diplo-
matte corps and of the royal household,
remained standing. Then the doors at
the farther end of the room opened,
and, preceded by herald and two
chamberlains and accompanied by the
two grandees acting as sponsors, the
postulant for admission to the grandeza
appeared and approached the throne
with three low obeisances. A tabouret,
with purple cushion, having been
brought and placed on the lowest of the
steps leading up to the throne, the king
commanded the candidate to be seated
and thereupon addressed few compli-
mentary words to him, recalling the
services of his family to the dynasty il
bygone ages. Alfonso concluded his Ii
tie speech by extending his hand to be
A1oSCN, oO b1ulS ulHl
to take his place among the peers.
"Retiring backward from the royal
presence, the newly fiedged grandee was
conducted by his sponsors to the side of
the hall occupied by the ladies of the
grandee rank, to whom he made a low
bow, and then to that of the men, whom
he saluted in the same manner. He
thereupon put his hat upon his head, his
example being instantly followed by ev-
cry grandee present, who all remained
covered until, his stool and cushion hav-
ing been removed from the steps of the
throne and placed beside those Of his
peers, he had seated himself thereon.
This brought to a close the acutal cere-
mony of almohada, which was rendered
extraordinarily picturesque by the su-
perb toilets of the women, by the gor~
geous tabards of the royal heralds and
by the brilliant uniforms of the generals,
the court officials, the ministers of state,
and, last, but not least, by those of the
diplomats. ="
