The Princess Charlotte Spent Many Happy
Months In America.
Queen Julie never joined her hus-
band, Joseph Bonaparte, the fugitive
king of Spain, in this country" writes
William Perrine i'll The Ladies' Home
Journal, "but late in 1891 their daugh-
ter, the yivacious young Princess Char
lotte, determined TO console her father
in his exile. She arrived at Philadel-
phia in the ship Ruth and Mary, COM
manded by Captain Miczle. The ships
wharf was covered with crowd anx-
ious to see her. Only 10 years old, of
highly animated temperament and de-
lighted at the ending Of the 40 days
voyage, the young girl was in an ecstasy
of pleasure. She waved her fur bonnet
at the persons on the wharf with such
careless delight that it fell from her
hands over the ships rail and into the
river. In her transport of enthusiasm
she snatched Captain Mickle's hat from
his head, gayly placed it on her own
and saluted her admirers anew.
Joseph was highly pleased with

Fine Arts in Philadelphia were exhibit

"a Cool En.s

"He's cool un, is the way the sol
diers in a certain English regiment de-
scribe one of their officers, young man
whose self possession in time of dam
ger saved his men from defeat and
probably from death. The circumstance
which gave this officer his reputation
is related by Rudyard Kipling in The
Westminster Magazine. He writes:
A very young officer, who had gone
almost straight from school to the army
and thence to India, was leading his
company through rocky pass on re-
turning from a scouting expedition.
They were beset by the enemy, who
fred at them from behind the rocks,
and the men were growing very un-
steady. Those in the rear began to be
impatient and shouted to the men in
front: Hurry up. What are you wait
ing for there?''
The young officer answered quite
coolly: Hold on minute. I'm light
ing my pipe
And he struck match and lit 1t.
There was a roar of laughter, and a SOL
dier called out, "Well, since you're so
pressin, think I'll have pipe my
SELF" And he, too, struck match and
began to smoke. This bit of fun steadied
the men, and they came through in
good order

Latinized English.

There was period in the history of
English literature, says Professor Mark
III. Liddell in The Atlantic. when the
ideal of perfect sentence was one in
which English thought was SO run into
a classic mold as to make the English
reader stand on his head to see the
meaning of it. That was because the
obvious fact III most Latin sentences
was periodic structure. 1t was an
easy road to beautiful expression to as
sumo this perfection for English SEN
tences and make them conform to it,

Coal Formation.

1t will be remarked that the deposits
of anthracite are found in very noun
famous regions. The difference between
this hard and what are called the soft
Goals was explained to me by the late
Professor William B. Rogers. When
the contraction of the earth's surface
took place by which the mountain re-
gions of Pennsylvania and few other
parts of the carboniferous series were
formed, these mountains were thrown
up, turned over and twisted in such a
manner as to cause the materials of
vegetable origin of which coal is formed
to become coked, or partly coked, under
extreme pressure 1t is due to that pres
sure and accompanying heat that the
anthracite Goals are hard and virtually
free from bitumen; while, under other
conditions, the bituminous or semibitu-
minous Goals are soft and more friable,
containing more bituminous element
In some other parts of the earth's sur
face where coal is found the SO called
brown Goals and lignites have not been
subjected to the measure of heat under
pressure sufficient to convert them into
true coal Edward Atkinson in Cen

Cleanliness.

One of tho most important factors in
maintaining health in good order is
cleanliness. 1t comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs clean and
in proper order to perform all their
functions. The cleanliness of the skin
and the air (purity of the air) that we
breathe i'll are essential for the proper
keeping of ones health. Any impurities
that are taken in breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve so
many centers of disease and are the
cause of many infectious diseases.
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are to be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood and
tend to give rise to severe and often
dangerous disorders. such as skin dis
eases and blood poisoning. New York

Mr.. F. Ga prominent historical writer

Mr.. Lincoln then proceeded: Bishop
Simpson was here the other day COM

appointments to Episcopalians. I did
not know anything about my cabinet.
I thought Blair a good old Presbyterian
name, and as for Seward. didn't know
until went to church with him that
he was an Episcopalian. .
President Lincoln had said to Bishop
Simpson: "You wait here. We are to
have cabinet meeting here directly,
and will see to it, :" and when the cab
met came he said, Here is Bishop
Simpson making complaint of our Civ
ing all the appointments to the Episco-

Said Seward: "That is not true Of

pointment to any man because of his

"Sir, it is of more Importance than you
