Julian is only IA months old and a fine
child. though I say 1t myself. I had him
on my knee in the parlor Of our fiat when
knock came at the door. I opened 1t,
WhereupOn a decidedly elderly gentleman
pushed his way in, says the ST. Louis
Post-Dispa tch.
What fine boyi" exclaimed the stran-
ger, looking in admiration at Julian. I
can tell it's a boy. He's 50 sturdy"
1 had been inclined to resist mis- uncere-
nonious pushing of himself in, but he
took such a pleasure in Julian, and Julian
was so delighted by the attention, that 1
| hadn't the heart to say anything.
Six teeth, eh?" continued the paternal
and kindly old gentleman. Two years
old. judge, sir?"
NO, sir, replied. at is true he looks
fully years old, but he is only IA
'1mpossible!' was the reply in a tone
of wonder.
Julian meanwhile was growing and
laughing at the stranger and held out his
arms. 1t suddenly dawned on me that
L had not asked my visitor his business,
but by this time he had Julian in his lap.
The child actually weighed all of TWEEN
ty-fve poundsn' he declared. by the
way came to see you about the gas bill.
Actually twenty-five pounds! Only IA
months old! Hal ha! little boy"
mad been angry for week about the
gas bill. The company had taken away
my meter on account of non-payment of
most outrageous charge, and for some
time l had been using candles. My inten-
ton was to sue the company.
Hear him laughr' cried the venerable
old gentleman, who was now handling
Julian on his knee. Fourteen months old
and weighs twenty-five pounds! Well,
well!
Julian was in ecstacies.
"Well, now" said l, II don't think I
ought to pay"
But he was so wrapped up in Julian
that he really did not hear me. He
brought forth an old wallet and drew my
gas bill from it.
Here, little boy" he cried, sis some
thing for you to play with. l really be-
lieve he'll have another tooth through in
a week. There isn't another baby in
Brooklyn to equal him"
Julian was waving that gas bill in his
little fist, and the two made the sweetest
picture together-the old gentleman and
the child. 1 had a $40 bill that 1 was
boarding to buy a new coat and vest with,
and l brought it out with a sigh The
old gentleman accepted it casually.
WELL well' he said, Il must be go
ing. Twenty-Five pounds! Fourteen
months old!'
AS he walked downstairs he looked back
two or three times to wave his hand and
cry "By-bye" at Julian. He was certainly
a superior and well educated old gentle
man and l have no doubt he was reduced
to the necessity of taking up his present
occupation by reverses of fortune, but l
wish / had thought of asking him to have
my gas meter brought back.

The oncen.s LuhiIee.

During the current week the civilized
/ world win present its compliments and
! admiring respects to the Queen of Eng
/ land who has now reigned longer than
any of her predecessors. Her great capt.
| tai will be threnged with representatives
/ from every nation and cline, together
with millions of her own subjects, gath
cred to do her honor. The climax of the
! celebration will be reached on day after
! tomorrow, when the great parade viii be
held. 1t will be the most imposing pageant
Of modern times; not IN gaudy show, al
though il will be brilliant, but as indicat-
ing the far-reachiug influences and the
mighty power Of the monarch of Great
Britain.
The story Of the queens reign is full Of
great achievements. not through the
means of war and fire and blood, but IN
the peaceful advancement OF liberty, jus
tice and knowledge. There have been wars
fought by England since she assembled the
throne, but they have been of small mo-
ment compared with the victories of peace
that have been achieved during her SOW
ereignty. Her reign will remain forever
notable for the rapid strides made in the
mechanical arts, the sciences, in letters,
and generally in the betterment of the
condition Of the human family. During
Victoria's reign the civilized world has
been brought almost within elbow-touch;
Washington and London are only a few
minutes apart when it is desired to ex-
change messages. During her reign the
ocean has been virtually bridged; New
York and Liverpool are less than a week
apart. The great achievements of the pc
Rod, however, are by far too numerous
to mention" They are so well known that
it is unnecessary to mention them. They
are not, of course. all to be credited to the
English people, or even to the English
speaking peoples; but the majority of
them are the products of the brains and
energies of her majesty's subjects and
their cousins on this side Of the ocean, and
British history will record them as having
been accomplished during the Victorian
period.
Our country extends its compliments and
congratulations to the queen. She has had
a most successful reign, and her name will
go down 10 posterity as that of just and
liberal sovereign.
1t is. however, in her private charac-
ter-as a woman wife and mother-that
the queen will receive the most sincere
homage. The fierce light that beats upon
a throne" has always shown Victoria a
woman to be taken as a model by her sub
jects. Although a queen and an empress.
there was no more dutiful wife and tender
her husband was her subject, she looked
up to and leaned upon him, as her hus-
band. in her home life she loved to be
regarded as a womanly woman rather
than the ruler of a nation.

The Othcr Man Didn,t sorv,v.

The grenadiers of the famous "old
Guard" will never be forgotten in France
as long as the memory of brave men shan
live In the national heart says the Youths
Companion. But some Of them, at least
were as bright as they were brave as the
following trustworthy anecdote bears wit
ness:
One fine morning, after peace had been
concluded between France and Russia.
the two emperors, Napoleon and Alexan.
der. were taking a short walk, arm In
arm, around the palace park at Erfurt.
As they approached the sentinel who
stood at the foot OF the grand staircase
the man, who was a grenadier OF the
guard, presented arms. The Emperor OF
France turned, and pointing with pride
TO a great scar that divided the grena-
diers face said;
What do you think. my brother, OF SOL
diers who can survive such wounds as
that2"
And you" answered Alexander. "wbat
do you think OF soldiers who can infilct
them2"
Without stirring an inch from his posi.
ton. or changing the expression OF his
face In the least. the stern old grenadler
himself replied gravely:
The man who did Il is dead"

summer symphonies.

The spring inspired poet has perfect
right to sing
Of the blossoms and the flowers and the
beauties of the spring;
But / want no spring-time fancies, give
me summer-t time for mine,
For there's nothing beats the watermelon
smiling on the vine.
.
The stamp fiend and the kodak hend are
fiends we should avoid.
And the fiend who smokes the cigarette is
pure and unalloyed;
But the prince of fiends and the one
whose neck we think should surely
stretch,
Is the fiend who tells us all about the
fish he didn't catch.
There's lots of truth in fiction and there
poetry In prose,
And we often mlsjudge people by the
fashion of their clothes,
But we never get so far beyond the ken
of moral truth,
AS to think the dazzling summer girls a
perfect bloom of youth
She was a dream, the girl met upon the
gistening strand;
She told me that I'd won herself, her for
tune and her hand.
I-well, was enraptured, quite estate in
my JOY,
And She well, she was but a girl, and
was but a boy.
Five years have past. Again we stand upon
the self-same shore,
We laugh and talk with pleasure of the
the happy days of yore.
Again she tells me that to her I'm every
thing on earth,
We're married-and, alas! she's pulled my
les Tor all I'm worth.

How ice Came to Louisiana Planter

How zee Came to a Louisiana Planter
Talk about hailstorins," said Col. Mar
tin of Lafourche, the worst haiistorm 1
ever saw occurred in my parish several
weeks ago, and without exaggeration, the
hailstones were the largest on record, at
least in the annals of Lafourehe parish,
says the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"A peculiar feature of the storm was the
fact that upon the Arcadia plantation of
Mr.. Price the stones were as large as hen S
eggs, completely stripping the cane and
other growing stuff, breaking the states
upon the sheds and sugarhouse, and caus-
ing severe injuries to a number of the
negroes who We're in the field. The dropping
Of the hail sounded like the bombardment
Of battery of artillery, and when the
storm ceased it was found that nearly
eighteen inches of hail had fallen in a par
ticular spot upon the plantation. This-was
ascertained by a measurement of the de-
post in several cane carts which were in
the storm. In order to preserve as many
Of the enormous stones as possible Col
win Price had the hands shovel several
tons into his cold storage room, and they
are stiil there, although more or less froz-
en- into an almost indistlnguishable mass
of ice. These statements viii be vouched
for by any person upon the Plantation"

The New Minister 60 spain.
From the New York Evening Post Qnd.).

The selection oe Stewart L. woodford
for the Spanish mission is most unfortu-
nate. He has no fitness whatever for
the place. being totally ignorant OF the
language OF the country. and having
had no experience which viii qualify
him for the duties OF the position. Ia the
present delicate condition OF our relations
with Spain. we need at Madrid a man OF
the very best qualifications. Gen. Wood
ford is a windy politician. who has won

and doings. In fact. he owes his appo mt
ment TO Platt who has been pressing him

other steadily since election last year

The Hawaiian Islands are noted for their
climate, their extinct volcanoes and the

most famous for their lepers. On Molokai

males OF American birth or ancestry in
the whole group.

CoIored Factory Operatives.

a cotton mill in Charleston is trying the
experiment Of operating it's machinery
with colored help. 1t is understood that
the owners of the mill could not obtain a
sufficient number of reliable white opera
tives at prices they could afford to pay
and for that reason they were compelled to
shut the mill down for a while Later
it was reopened with colored operatives,
who are now employed Mill owners of
other sections of the country are watching
with interest the experiment of employing
colored operatives. Should this class of
labor be found efficient, revolution might
be worked IT. the textile industrial world
of the south. 1t is said the prosperity
almost the life--of the Charleston mill de-
Ponds upon the success of the colored
labor.
While this may be true, the future of
cotton mills in the south does not depend
upon the success Of the mill in Charles
ton. There are thousands upon thousands
more spindles in Columbia and Augusta
than In Charleston, and we have not heard
of any scarcity OF reliable white labor in
those cities. Nor is there reported to be
shortage of white labor at Graniteville.
an old and prosperous mill town in South
Carolina near Augusta. The difficulty
with regard to white labor in Charleston
would seem to be local. 1t does not apply
to other southern mill communities If
we are correctly Informed, the Charleston
min is supplied with old-fashioned ma
chinery. and the owners have not made
| arrangements to secure to operatives
cheap rents and other advantages, such
as are provided at other factories 1t
costs the white operatives as much as or
more than can be made in the mill to live
In the city. The black operatives, on the
other hand, are able to live upon what
would not suffice for the needs Of white
people.
| IT is a matter Of serious doubt whether It
would be a good thing for the south II it
were demonstrated that black operatives
can be taught to handle cotton min ma
/ chlnery as well as whites. cotton
mills are almost invariably pisated
| In tho towns. The towns have
now as much black population as
i they want. What is needed is more white
/ population II may be true that the white
| population that Is assembled by a factory
is not Of the very highest class: but II
is vastly superior to the black popu-
lation that would be assembled by the
same agency. We are not averse TO the
blacks making all OF the progress they
can; at the same time. we do not wish
them to fiji places which could better be
| filled by white people. We do not
desire 90 see the white labor OF the south
brought down 20 the level OF the black.
! even in cotton factories. with the numer-
Gus advantages which southern factories
enjoy It seems that they ought to he able
20 pay living wages 20 white operatives.
