How the Prince Of wales Travels.

The Prince Of Wales has just had a
new car built which he will use when
travelling on the different railroads in
England. The car was built by the
Great Eastern Railway company at
Stratford and is very luxuriously fitted
up in every way The new car is con-
structed like the American cars and Is
mounted on two four wheeled bogies,
one at each end. 1t is a saloon car, and
in addition to the saloon and boudoir
has apartments for the attendants. The
body Of the saloon is 4 feet long. The
interior of the car is decorated with
English walnut and satinwood. The
ceiling is covered with lincrusta wal.
ton, picked out in cream and gold. The

Ma Tante and My Uncle.

An ingenious French writer has been
explaining to q curious world why the
pawnbroking establishments are called
INV aunt" MA tante). The Prince dc
Joinville, son Of Louis Philippe, was
kept very short Of money in his youth
One day the father noticed that the
prince was not wearing splendid gold
watch that had been given to him by
his mother. "Where is your watch:'
asked the bourgeois king. AT my
aunt's," was the reply. Princess AIDE
laide was INTERCEPTED on the subject,
but she knew nothing about it. Then
the young scapegraco admitted that he
had pawned it, "Aiy aunt" therefore,
became proverbial for the Mont-de-
Piete.
But then, it may be asked, how il
came about that the pawnbroEer IL
England is facetiously spoken Of a'
f'uncle." The French writer is quite
equal to the occasion. The English say
"uncle" because the French say "aunt. y
Here in England everything goes by

A Hnn of American Hlstory.

Steps are being taken at the national
museum in Washington to carry ont an
idea long contemplated Of developing a
hall of American history. Professor
Goode had long cherished the idea, and
Professor Holmes, who is in charge Of
the department Of anthropology, is
equally enthusiastic. 1t is the purpose
10 have the institution as nearly nation
al in its character as possible, and every
effort will be- made to have as many
things in it relating to early American
history, that of the United States in
particular, as can be obtained. The OBJ
iects and relics will be presented ch'On-
ologically, beginning with the period
when Left Ericsson, in his Viking ship,
visited America. Then will follow in
order Columbus, the pilgrims, Captain
John Smiths party, the Dutch and 9TH
or settlers, after which will come relics
of the rebellion. There will also be ex-
kibits Of the growth in facilities of nav
igation and Of railroading, and Of the
remarkable advance in the use Of cleo
tricity. New York Post

English Justice.

A short while ago one Harry Trelease
was charged before the Falmouth bench
in England with the heinous crime Of
sleeping ont near a hayrick and having
no visible means of subsistence. In the
eyes Of the magistrates his guilt was
aggravated by the fact that he had a
pipe in his possession. Though the pipe
was empty and the offender had neither
tobacco nor matches, the English judges
determined to make an example of this
man, who had never been punished be-
fore. They accordingly sentenced him
to one month in Jail The poor wretch
took the matter so much to heart that
he committed suicide before he was
taken TO prison. New York Sun.

on Lenne strasse in the most fashion
able quarter Of Berlin. The rent be pays
for it is something like one-ha!f Of bis

extensive travels. The recent reception
given by Professor White was, by the

against the advice Of his physician has
excited general comment in diplomatic
circles in Berlin.

THE UNITED STATES FIFTH.
rhe Position of this Country Among the
Naval Powers.

Naval Powers.
The United States now ranks fifth
among the naval powers of the earth
and is tie with Germany. England is
first, France second, Russia third and
Italy fourth. The German navy is bet
ter supplied with torpedo boats than
that of the United States, but we are a
little ahead on battleships and cruisers.
Taking one consideration with another,
however, there is little difference.
When the Kentucky, Kearsarge, Illinois
and the other vessels now building are
ahoat, we shall surpass Germany, but
the Germans however, have a magnifi-
cent scheme for the development Of
their navy, and the recent episodes in
China were planned for the purpose OF
stimulating the interest of their parlia-
ment and the people. If the emperor:
programme is carried out, Germany
will spend 5000, 600, 600 in naval con-
struction during the next nine or ten
years-an average Of about $50, 900, 00C
year-for battleships, cruisers, coast
defense monitors and other fighting ma
terials and will run way ahead OF us
and take the second place. In 1906 the
German navy will be increased to II
battleships Of the first class, s coast de-
tense vessels, 0 first class cruisers and
26 second class cruisers. The battleships
will be the most formidable in the
world and are to cost $1,000 600 each,
the cruisers SO, O0O 600 each and the
small cruisers 81, 900, 600 each. The apf
preparation by the German parliament
for the year amounts to 50, 600, 600 and
will be spent in the construction OF
3 first class battleships first class ar
mored cruiser, second class protected
cruisers, gunboats, s torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyer.
During the present year Russia will
spend s., 500 600 for her naval estab-
iishment. She has now under construG-
ton battleships, coast defense yes
sells, 2 armored cruisers, 4 protected
cruisers, gunboats and 40 torpedo
boats.
Great Britain, however, as usual, Is
outdoing all the nations in naval cen
struction and during the present yeaI
will spend $26, 500, 600. She has now
under construction III vessels, and sew
eral of them will be completed before
next January-viz, 10 battleships, II
first class cruisers, 8 second class oruis
ers, 10 third class cruisers, 0twin screw
gunboats, 90 torpedo boat destroyers' .
light draft gunboats and royal yacht.
Great Britain has today in this cata-
logue of ships under construction a fleet
as fine as that Of the United States

cept France and Russia. Chicago Rec

Squaw's Affection,

The women Of the Indians, doomed
by the custom Of sayages, are slaves.
They do all the work and accept their
lot stoically. Two anecdotes related by
Colonel Inman in his "Old Santa FL
Trail" prove that they love their tyrani
husbands and their children.
A party of United States soldiers sur
prised camp Of Indians, who bad been

They were allowed to take leave OF their

men and their young wives and chill

most perfect exhibition of marital and

During the campaign Of 1859 Colo

lars, came upon a Cheyenne lodge.

ing about feet inches in height, and
whose speech indicated that he came
from the Emerald Isle, was one Of the
passengers on a steamship recently ex-

either inside of them or else are "done
up" in cocoons for the winter.
For example, there is huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from twig
in jar of exceptional size This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the so called "gregariOus butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it Is
the caterpillaEs-transformed later into
butterhies-that construct the cocoon
for residence while they are undergo
ing their metamorphosis. The cocoon
looks and feels as if made Of thick
parchment, and at the lower end OF 1T
is a small hole that serves for door.
The labor employed in building it
must be enormous. Under powerful
masnifying glass it is seen to be com
posed of an infinite number of shining
and very slender silken threads, cross
ing each other in every direction. When

100 or more chrysalids, attached to the

The habit Of combining together to

this species among butterflies. The SILK
composing the nest is exquisite, and
from 20 TO 20 sheets Of 1t can DO strip
ped off from the great cocoon, looking
as if woven in a loom. If the silk could
only be spun, the "gregarious butterfly
would soon displace the silkworm' and
the silks and satins of commerce would
be of butterfly manufacture. Unfortu-
uately the difficulty remains unsolved'
though many attempts in this direction
have been made, Could a solution OF

In Europe prejudice against horsehosh
rs food diminishes year by year, and IN
France and other continental countries
great attention is given to the fattening
of wornout horses for the market. Eu-
ropean societies for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals are interesting them
selves in the subject and are offering in
ducements to farmers to utilize their
spare horses for food The substance is
said to be as nourishing and palatable
as beef. and in some respects authorities
of the cuisine give it the preference.
Every year there is more or less of a
panic in regard to the short supply of
beef, and in the countries which have
become accustomed to its use horsetiesh
comes in as a substitute.
In France the price of beef is from 20
TO 40 cents a pound, while horse meat
may be had from 8 to cents The pot
au-feu, disused in thousands Of French
homes on account of the high price of
beef. has, through the cheapness Of the
latter meat, assumed its former impor-
lance in the domestic economy of that
people In this era of mechanical pro-
pulsion an increasing number of horses
are thrown out of business and their
utilization as food, if it cannot be said

their existing one to a useful close
According to current statistics it will
not be many years before the worlds
