SAVED BY THE QUEEN.
VIctorIa's Great Grandchildren Will
BE "ROyaI HighnesseS" by
Her Decree.

An interesting writer has lately
pointed out that the children of
Prince Arthur, the only son of the
duke of Connaught, who is himself
third son of the queen, will no longer
be royal highnesses," but merely
mobiles, and should these children have
children, they will be obliged to con-
tent themselves with the common
place prefix Mr." 1t is this fact, says
the Boston Herald, that has induced
the queen to issue letters patent, I'M
der the seal, declaring that the chill
dren of the eldest son of the prince
of Wales shall have and at all times hold
and enjoy the style. title or attribute
of royal highness." Hitherto these
children of the duke of York had no
right to be so termed. They were
just plain princes, and their children
would fare no better than their cous-
ins of Connaught. This state of af
fairs results from the queen of Eng
land living to see three generations

A MAIN CHANCE OF LIFE.
Some Interesting Results of n CRIcu-
latiOn Upon the Percentage at
Various Ages.

In the English Illustrated Magazine,
Mr.. ]. Holt Schooling works out some
interesting results as regards the
chances of males at ages 20, 80, 40, so,
60, 20, so and 90, living for ten years
more, 20 years more, 80 years more,
etc. For example, as regards 1000
men aged 20, $50 of them Give ten
years more" i. e., 10 age 80; that is
"a per cent. live to age 80 and six per
cent. do not, so the chance at age 20
to live to age 80 is not quite sixteen to
one in favor of living. Similarly, $50
out of 1000 ''live 40 years more" i. e.,
to age 60, so that the odds in favor of
a man aged 20 living to age 60 are 65
TO A., say five to four, in sporting
phrase. Again, as only ten out of the
1000 live 20 years more, i. e., to age 90,
the chance of a man aged 20 attaining
age 90 is only one in one hundred, or
odds of ninety-nine to one against him.
As to the chances for men aged so,
TO per 1000 live ten years more, i. e.,

THE DIGNIFIED WOMAN.
She Was Little Severe on the Curl
Gus Woman, But She Was
Provoked.

She is dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
niied woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since shs
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The digni6ed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the dignifed
woman, and she said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
"What?" exclaimed the dignifed woman
"Well, explained the curious woman, my
friend in the next room and / have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dignifed woman.
The digni6ed woman replied:
L have not been operated upon yet"
"Ohi" said the curious woman, sympa-
thetically
"No, / am not familiar with operations"
said the dignifed woman
The curious woman interrupted: ''They
are very successful here. Don't be wor.
ried."
Il am wondering about an operation On
the BRAIN" said the dignifed woman, in
very dignifed and distant manner 81 won
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dudgeon.
The digni6ed woman was severe, it is true,
but she was provoked to it.-St Louis Re.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
He WAS n Keen Boy and Was Equal
TO the Occasion When Caught
mt Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took frmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, "I'll
show 'em!"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32-knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious.
Suddenly a rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
Here, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there?"
1t was one of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and Replied:
I'm rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said
'If they. amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
the orchard. "-Cleveland Leader.

READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising Offer of a Bankrupt's
SOulIess Creditor ut nm As
sfgnment Meeting.

Not long ago substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business. He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store on the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the same terms he laid in quite
a large stock of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
a good business and none of his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm as to
the safety of their accounts. Suddenly be
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
Office of his attorney, the sorrowful bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made a polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc
cured judgment on a fraudulent claim, had
attached and carried away everything ex-
cept 30 cigars and $3.50 IN money. The I'M
fortunate debtor owed over s., 900 to the men
present, which he would hquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
my client suffers far more acutely than
any of you," continued the lawyer. "He
has surrendered all that he possesses. 1t is
not much, it is true, but / trust it viii serve
as an earnest of his future intentions. He
Is crushed by his misfortune and would
willingly divide his body among you"
What's that?" asked a somewhat deaf
old man, supplementing his right ear with
his broad palm.
My client is willing to divide his very
body among you" repeated the attorney.
"All right" responded the old man, I'll
take his gailI"-Chicago Chronicle.

of ugly and ill-tarred hags who have
played such melancholy part in the
tragic annals of witchcraft. On re-
ceiving this information the parish
priest and his scolytes went at once
to the house with aspergiils and CEN
sers to expel the Internal intruder by

her to thinking how Grandpapa Wales
would like having an untitled great
grandson with no place in the royal
procession. Until the issue of these

the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in

of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went

In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
