The Holy Well in Peril.

From the London Telegraph.
The fate of ST. .Winifred's holy well
hangs in the balance. and a few short
hours may decide whether its waters are
to continue their miraculous cures or assist
in the manufacture of lemonade and self
Ter. This place has played a somewhat
conspicuous part in the sphere of English
miracles during the last decade. st. Win
fired was killed in Cheshire. and the spot
where he fell became a perpetual fountain.
a Roman Catholic priest paid the local au-
thoritleS Glo0 for the exclusive use of the
waters for the purpose of curing the faith
full of various ailments. Piigrimages were
made from all parts of the country to this
mystic sanatorium. and the collection of
crutches. wooden legs and medicine bottles
left behind silently testified to its curative
effects. Now a soda water manufacture
offers a higher rent for the privilege of
aerating the miraculous fluid and dispensing
it at a moderate price for the purpose of
curing. not physical weakness, but the wild
despotism of whisky and brandy. The
parishioners are now voting whether the
well shall be retained as it is. or dispensed
at so much a bottle all over the district.
There is nc reason why aeration should de-
stroy the marvellous properties of the wa
ter. and its dissemination in properly
corked bottles would obviate the necessity
of a painful pilgrimage. Still. it seems an
ultra stretch of utilitarianism to turn the
well of a saint into soda water.

LITTLE KING ALPHONSO XIII.
CHARACTER OF THE YOUTHFUL
KING OF THE SPANIARDS.
Going About Doing Good-FrOm Ex.
IRENE Childhood the Monarch
Has Attempted to Allevi-
ate Suffering.

Alphonso Kill. King OF Spain, will not
attain his 18th birthday until May Il. 1885.
when he will celebrate another year Of
his reign.
Alphonso was a king from the time he
was born, for he came into the world six
months after the death of his father, Al
phonso Nil. and found the throne wait
ing for him Immediately, according to
the laws of Spain, he became king, and
has been ruling ever since his birth No
one dares to dispute his word. and IL he
were to say tomorrow, Let Cuba be
Free" the island would, indeed, become
separate from Spain.
But Alphonso knows little of Cuba and
his whole life is taken up with the routine
through which he must daily so, and the
many charitable acts which the king OF
Spain is called upon to perform
No country requires as much of its ruler
as Spain does, and little Alphonso, from
the time that he could toddle. has been
engaged in opening hospitals. starting sick
funds, distributing state moneys and open
ing charity bazars.
Though his charities lave never been
written they are the most interesting work
over which Alphonso presides and of
which he is the sponsor is the Invalid

year by the different churches OF Spain.
Each church gives a proportionate sum
toward the fund.

dances and poses in tableaux for the
amusement of the children of the poor.
This takes place annually in Madrid and
is one of the prettiest sights of the year.
Alphonso receives from the excheQuer
of the royal treasury every year the sum
Of s5.cNIthis in Spanish money is 5000
pesetas, and is a great deal Of money

only he must give a certain sum to charity.
The kings charity fund maintains every
year a very large number OF Spanish or
phans.
When the kings charity fund Is COM
plete it Is found to be very large. and
with this Alphonso takes care of the waits
found in the streets of the large cities OF
Spain.
The little king, besides being interested
in large charities, IS a good little fellow
| personally. He is kinder hearted than his
| father, Alphonso XII, and takes after
| his mother, Maria Christine, who, as an
Austrian princess. was noted for her kind
