Henry lake is beautiful body of wa
ter with an area of about Al square
miles and Is situated OH tho dome of

Rocky mountains near Targees pass,

itself but it is the home of IL 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
i'll diameter and has for its basis IL mat
OF roots and dccaycd vegetation sut1i-

growth of undcrbrush. 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 good sized summer hotel, if some
one could be found that would care to
make such IL venture. There is Il 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 Oh Il
boat, move the 800 foot island hithcr
and thither over the 40 square miles of

SPANISH GRANDEES.
They Constitute tho Real Aristocrccy OF
the Naughty Nation

the Naughty Nation.
The real aristocracy of Spain is limited
to the 243 grandees, many of them I'M
titled, who enjoy innumerable priv
leges, including those of remaining
seated and covered i'll the presence of
royalty and Of access to the sovereign Mt
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 OH
the paternal or on the maternal side by
any plebeian strain. The ancient cerc-
mony OF comforting the grandeza-this
and the ceremony Of inducing peer to
his seat i'll the house of lords constitute
the only forms of invcstiture of mobiles
that survive i'll 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 Il
writer i'll the New York Tribune. who
thus describes it:
1T took place i'll tho small throne
room OF the royal palace mt Madrid. The
men of grandee rank were at the right
of the dais and tho women ut the left.
On the king exclaiming, BE seatcdr
they all took their places upon tabourcts,
on stools of carved wood, topped with
large purple velvet cushions Everybody
else such us the mcmbcrs 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 gr;lndccs acting as sponsors, the
postulant for admission to the grnndeza
appeared and approached the throne
with three low obcisances. n tabourct.
with purple cushion, having been
brought and placed on the lowest of the
steps leading up to tho throne, the king
commanded the candidate to be seated
and thercupon addressed II few compli-
mentary words to him, recalling the
services Of his family to the dynasty in
bygone ages. Alfonso concluded his lit
tie speech by extending his hand to be
kissed, ut the same time directing him
to take his place among the peers
Retiring backward from the royal
presence, the newly flcdgcd grandec was
conducted by his sponsors to the side of
the hall occupied by the ladies of the
grandce rank, to whom he made Il low
bow, and then to that of the men, whom
he salutcd i'll the same manner He
thercupon put his hat upon his head, his
example being instantly followed by ev-
cry Srandoc present, who all remained
covered until, his stool and cushion hay
ing been removed from the steps of the
throne and placed beside those of his
peers, he had seated himself thereon.
This brought to IL close the acutal cere-
mony of almohad;, which was rendered
extraordinarily picturesque by tho SUI
perb toilets of the women, by the gor-
geous tabards of tho 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.
