Wantoti-A Husband.

A good joke was played on the girls
of provincial town recently by the
young men of the place. The boys had
been rather remiss in their attentions to
the young ladies, and had been going &c
HE theaters, parties and so on until
the girls grew tired of being left out in
the cold and decided to show their in
dependence.
Consequently 10 of the girls hired
box at the theater and made a very
charming theater party. The play was
"Wanted-a Husband" and the girls
sat serene through it all. never dream
ing that the wicked boys had taken one
of the largest fiaring posters, Wanted
"a Husband, +" and fastened 1t in front
of the box so that all the audience
might read. -Pearson's Weekly.

Appreciation.

An anecdote, illustrating the urbanity
Of DIR. Max Nordau's character, as we'll
as his keen sense Of humor, is told III
connection with story of !. Iangwili.
DR.. Nordau had never met Aangwlii'
but was a great admirer of "The Chli-
drep of the Ghetto" aud its authors 1T
erary causeries. One day friend, KNOW
ing this, came to him and said:
"Mr. Zangwill has been writing ABOUT
Won in The Pail Mall.
"Indeed," said DR.. Nordau, with an
air of great interest. 3
"He gives a perfect appreciation Oh
Won" the friend continued.
"Do tell me what he said, SAID the
author, relaxing into an attitude OF
pleasurable anticipation.
"He says you're an idiot. F"
The funny part of the story is tna'
during recent visit to England Dr.
Nordau met Mr.. Zangwill and told him

Tho irish Labc-er In England.

1t is asked Why should the irishman
come over to make the hay and reap the
crops III England and Scotland, and
how is it that he goes home again and
does not stay? That he comes over Is
evidence that he is not unwilling &c
work He is sent for by the farmer BIS
cause his wages are low. That he re-
turns home is not q matter OF sentiment
alone, nor due TO the fact that he returns
co Roman. Catholic country. The win
ter is milder than in Scotland, the rent
is cheaper than paying for lodgings Ill
Scotland, the turf fire is warmer and
more cheerful than the small coal he
must buy at high price in Scotland.
The turf fire costs him perhaps CD fol
the family for all the year. While the
man works abroad the family live
cheaply at home and till the potatoes
and fatten the pigs. There are thus good
reasons why migratory labor should pay
the Irish peasant best. and the change
is welcome to him when life would 9th
erwise be very monotonous. Boys anc
girls look forward to the end OF theil
school days and to the time when they
may 90 to the harvesting; or, still bet
ter to the "oil works, where some 81
shillings "a week may be earned. The
Irish peasant requires no one to teaci
him his own interests IL this respect
and he works hard for u spell, lookins
forward to the idle winter before hin
at home. -Blackwood' Magazine.

SPANISH GRANDEES.
They Constitute the Real Aristocracy of
She Naughty Nation.

Ahey Sohrsitute the Real AristOcracy Of
she Naughty Nation.
The real aristocracy of Spain is limited
to the 243 grandees, many of them un.
titled, who enjoy innumerable priv.
leges, including those of remaining
seated and covered in the presence OK
royalty and of access to the sovereign at
all times. Admission to the grandeza is
exceedingly difficult to obtain, for it is
necessary 10 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 Inducing 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 q
writer in the New York Tribune who
thus describes it:
ut took place III the small throne
room of the royal palace at Madrid The
men of grandee rank were ut 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 a 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 a few compli'
mentary words to him, recalling the
services of his family to the dynasty il
bygone ages. Alfonso concluded his lit
tie speech by extending his hand to b
kissed, at the same time directing hin
to take his place among the peers.
Retiring backward from the roya
presence, the newly fledged grandee wa
conducted by his sponsors TO the side o
the hall occupied by the ladies of TIT
grandee rank, to whom he made low
bow, and then to that of the men, whom
he saluted in the same manner. III
thereupon put his hat upon his head, III
example being instantly followed by ev
cry grandee present, who all remalne
covered until, his stool and cushion hav
ing been removed from the steps of TN
throne and placed beside those OF hi
peers, he had seated himself thereon
This brought to close the acutal cere
mony of almohada, which was rendere
extraordinarily picturesque by the ST.
perb toilets of the women, by the gol
: geous tabards of the royal heralds an
: by the brilliant uniforms of the generals
, the court officials, the ministers of state
, and, last, but not least, by those OF IL
, diplomats. "

. Palmer who Owned Johannesburg.

Few people are aware of the fact that
the site of Johannesburg and large
tract of the surrounding land were once
bought for $3.50 But such was the case,
and the purchaser now lies confirmed
invalid in the workhouse infirmary at
5uildford. The old man seems to have
had most remarkable career, having
been in the service Of the old East India
company, fought in the Crimea, being
seriously wounded at the siege of Seyas-
topol, aud afterward passed through the
Indian mutiny. He then went to South
Africa, where ho fought against the
Zulus and the Beers. Before the Trans
yaal was made over TO the Beers he pur-
chased for $3.50 some $4,000 acres OF
land near the source Of the Crocodile,
better known as the Limpopo, where ne
made up his mind ultimately to SETTLE.
But war broke out, and he took up arms
against the Beers and formed one OF the
party which held Pretoria. In 1851,
when the republic was declared, he re-
fused to accept service under President
Kruger. the result being that his land,
now estimated to be worth many mil
lions sterling. was forfeited.-West'

Obituary.

The death. gate once on it's hinges
has swung, and one more soul has
passed Within the vale. The cold,
icy hand of death has been laid upon
one of our sweetest and tenderest
young girls, and Mona Smith is no
more. Deceased was daughter of
Sylvanus and Cafsie +. Smith, and
was born April IL, 1885, and de.
parted this life December 10, 1896,
after brief illness of typhoid fever,
aged III years, 8 months and 6 days.
Mona WAS very bright and loving
little girl and was fondly cherished
by her parents, and by them she will
be sadly missed. 1t seems very un-
natural for so many persons to be
called of the stage of action ut such
an early age, but when we consider
the fact that at every beat of the pulse
aud every swing of the pendulum n

that Gin the midst of life we are i'm

them not, for of such is the Kingdom
of heaven" And he further adds.
"Nerily say unto you, except ye

kingdom of heaven" THIS fully con-
vinces us that her spirit has been
