STORY OF QUEEN LII.
A Moment of Embarrassment Mt q
Reception After She Lost
Her Crown.

Young Al Berry, son of Congress
man Al Berry, of Kentucky, said a
naval officer who was in Honolulu
when the Hawaiian flag was replaced
by the stars and stripes, was in Homo
lulu in some kind of official capacity
when / was there once, and was on
particularly good terms with Queen
Liliuokalani and her entire court.
And / may say that in this regard
he was about the only American who
was how he got there l don't know,
but he was one of your irresistible
kind of Kentuckians who conquer ad-
miration in spite of all obstacles. He
could say anything he pleased and do
al manner of startling things, but
that only seemed to make the queens
ppople fonder of him, and when he
offered 10 take me to call on her ma
iesty, at little reception she gave
in The afternoon after the flag cere-
moAies were over, / felt that / was
safe in accepting. 1t was very in
fGrpal affair and we were soon in the
royal presence and / was duly intro
duced. Then the young man suddenly
upset me In IA places at once and gave
me "a fit of the nervous embarrass-
ments.
well, your majesty" he said In
that boyish and breezy manner of his,
not less ct home in queens palace
than on q blue grass farm, chow does
it feel to be out of iob2"
| felt like going through the floor,
but Berry never turned hair, and
the trown'ess queen in quite the same
spirit greatly relieved my embarrass-
menr rs responding:
"Oh, Ir. Berry, you are such a jol-
lier."
1t was rlightly slangy, perhaps, for
royalty, but it was the right thing to
say, and | read the riot act to Berry
on my OVID behalf when l got home

WORK AND PLAY.

The boys were waiting in the road
For Joe 10 come ard play;
"We'd like to know what keeps you so,
Impatiently cried they,
We've waited nearly half an hour.
Do hurry, Joe,' they cried
"Ill be there-when my work is done;
Not till them" he replied.
"Come on, come on; the work can wait,
They urged, "till by and by"
"It might, of course, but don't think
1t will" was his reply.

When you've a task to do, my boys,

But do it right away.

nails in the spool, and the third (7) will
be directly over the hole in the spool.
Now give the corners Il and ~ a
slight turn downward and the corners
e. and 81 a slight turn upward, and
having placed the strip of tin on the
SPOOL fitting it down over the nails,
you are ready for your first expert
ments in flying.
Get a brad-awl or a small knitting
needle fastened into a stout handle of
wood, and pass it up through the
spool and through the center hole in the
tin. Then wind the spool with piece
of string just as you would wind a
top. When this is done hold the awl
handle in one hand and pull the string
sharply with the other.
OF course, the spool will spin, and you
will be surprised to see your tin ma
chine whizzing through the air like a
thing of life. If the weather is calm it
will sometimes go to an astonishing
height, but you can't have as much fun
with it in the wind, for then it will
play all sorts of pranks turning and
twisting and finally coming down TO
the earth with a rush.-Cincinnati En-

DISAGREEABLE TRAITS.
Sometimes They Impair the Uscful.
ness of Otherwise Upright aud
Conscientious Men.

Squire Cranky was dead. The viii
lage people had gathered in the church
to hear bis funeral sermon. The old
doctor, with his nephew, John, who was
down from the city, sat in back pew.
The minister told what everyone
there knew to be truth of the dead
man. A faithful believer in Christ, q
man of high integrity, in whose JUS
ticc and honesty the whole community
trusted, liberal to the poor, walking
blameless under every moral law.
"Was all that true?" said John, as he
and the doctor walked home.
Every word of it,"
'And yet" said the young man, II
got the impression the other day at the
funeral that neither his neighbors nor
his family felt his death very deeply.
Indeed, fancied l saw look Of relief
on their faces"
The doctor was silent for a moment.
"You are too shrewd an observer, Jack"
he said. ''The squire loved to manage.
lie was busy, energetic man, and he
thought it his duty TO lash every man
and woman who was not as busy and
energetic as himself. His tongue was
like goad. He was a man, too, who
never praised or encouraged anybody.
His wife and children probably never
heard word of commentator from
him in their lives, strive as they
might
"Then he complained necessarily Of
the weather, of his food, of the state
of the church and the country; of all
that his family did or did not do. When
he came into the room you felt that a
chilly fog had closed in upon you.
And yet, in spite of these faults, the
squire was faithful in his heart to his
friends and to God. He probably never
was conscious of these disagreeable
traits but they were so noticeable that
his neighbors, and even his children
and his wife, could not help a certain
feeling of relief when he was gone"
Il WONDER" said Jack, ''if he knew,
when he Weakened in that other life, how
depressing and unpleasant a Christian
he had been in this?'
And l wonder" said the doctor, 'if
there is no way for you and me to find
out our petty faults-our disagreeable
personal traits--in time to mend them
here in this life ?''-Youth's Companion.

WALTZING MICE.

tanned two pairs of them less than three
months ago and he now has two dozen
on exhibition in his windows.
They were brought from the far away
Philippines by German naturalist OF
Berlin, and a Cincinnati physician re-
turned with them here. Just what
their native habits are has not been
learned, but stop before one of Mr..
Shroerlucke's windows and watch the
curious little things for a few minutes
and you will discover the meaning OF
their name. They cannot walk three
feet in straight line when they try
and it does not look as though they
often tried. They wriggle and squirm,
twist and turn, and when they are
reused they will whirl and spin until
they make you dizzy to look at them.
They waltz as nearly as four-footed
creature can. Through the day they
like to sleep, huddled together and
curled up like little balls; but at night
they begin their dance and keep it up
for hours, never seeming to tire.
The above cut will give you an idea
of their appearance. They are white
with black spots or patches, and are
smaller than the ordinary white mouse.
The head is flatter and longer and the
bodies and legs are shorter than those
of the common sort. No description,
however, will convey an adequate no.
ton of their peculiar waltz. One must
see them at their queer antics.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

Remarkable cleverness is sometimes
displayed by birds. 81 had canary
says a gentleman, "between the wires
of whose cage l used to fix piece of
lump sugar. One day it dropped out,
and when picked up was found to be
quite wet on one side. This surprised
me, and l replaced it in the cage, with
the dry side inward, and determined
to watch the birds proceedings. After
few Intellectual attempts on the hard
sugar the bird went to the water glass,
filed its bill, dropped the water on the
sugar and repeated this several times.
When the sugar was thus softened it
began to eat it. Apparently here was
thought--a calculation of means and a
use of them"

The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese, and possesses no sex in Teu-
tonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps it
would not be an error to trace the
custom of terminating ships back to
the Greeks, who called them by fem
mime names, probably out of defer
ence to Athene, goddess of the sea.
But the English-speaking sailor as
signs no such reasons. The ship to
him is always lady, even though she
be man-o-war. She possesses a
waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets,
ties, ribbons, chains, watches and doz-
ems of other distinctly feminine alti-
cles.-Collier's Weekly.

PHILIPPINE MICE.
They WriggIe and Squirm, Twist ana
Turn, and Perform All sorts
of Strange Capers.

You have all seen white rats and
mice. You all know how cunning they
are, how spry and playful, and what
dear little pets they become. Not one
of our readers but has at some time
owned a few of them or has a friend
who has had some. The raising of mice
has become a fad of late, and in the
east the fanciers are breeding them in
colors.
1t is a curious sight to see cage full
of these variegated little rodents. Inns
agine, if you haven't seen them, yell
low mouse, one of chocolate hue and
another that looks for all the world like
a tiny black-and-tan dog. Some OF
them are spotted and look like pygmy
fox terriers. But the strangest of them
all is the Philippine Waiting mouse.

FILIPINO BURIAL CUSTOMS.
They Have n Resemblance to An-
cient Jewish Rites
Unique Customs.

Among the burial customs are found
many which resemble our own and
those of the Jews.
As soon as a sick man died, if he was
a "dato," or chief, his relatives and
friends, together with number of
hired mourners, gathered together
around the body with great weeping.
They did not, however, weep in a nat
ural manner, but in sort of song or
funeral dirge, mingled with feigned
groans and bowls, in which they praised
the dead and while so singing they
watched, perfumed and embalmed the
body with some aromatic ungents,
similar to the Hebrew custom.
In the islands Of Jolo and Mindanao,
the Moros, or Mohammedan natives,
placed the deceased in a chair with q
hole in the seat and, placing a tube
in the mouth, forced down a solution of
camphor gum, which was so etlicacious
that all impurities and uncleanliness
are thrown off through the ordinary
channels, and the intestines are cleaned
and purified, and the body thus pre-
served for a long time without decay.
The body is then inferred in a sitting
position, while around it are placed a
jar of water and food, those natives be-
lieving in the transmigration of souls.
Returning to the Tagalos:
The bodies of their dead chieftains,
decorated with gold and jewels, were
placed in n coffin followed out of the
trunk of a hardwood tree, many va
rieties of which were considered proof
against decay, and after carefully seal
Ing the lid the coffin was placed, either
on the highest part of the house or un"
der it, in which case it was slightly
raised from the ground and surrounded
by fine bamboo fence to keep away az
imals.
The poorer classes were placed in the
fields or in the public square.
The Nisayans place the collins in
mountain caves or on the top of steep
rocks near the sea, and to this day these
collins can be seen on rocks so precipi-
tous and high that no small wonder is
excited as to how they were gotten up.
A priest recounts that near the coast
of Catbalogan there was high rock,
the top of which was covered with bones
and decaying collins.
The Indians passed this place in rev.
erential fear, and at night especially
feared to land there.
The priest, hearing of this, assembled
the rock, threw the bones and collins
to the beach below and then burned
them to ashes, which he scattered in the
sea.
The Mortified Indians predicted that
he would soon suffer a sort Of penalty
called balm" such as being turned in
to stone, struck by lightning or some
thing similar; but, as he quantity adds:
Il laughed at them and increased the
flames (thank Cod without any harm

Get an old tin can, and by setting it

Snake in Her Ten Kettle.

A Kansas woman, in making the
usual preparations for supper, took a
tea kettle to the cistern and pumped it
full of water. Then she carried it to the
kitchen and set it on the stove. In few
moments she heard most remarkable
splashing of the water in the kettle,
and turned from her work to examine
into the cause. Just as she wa about
to raise the kettle a snake stuck its
head out Of the spout. With an eXcusa-
BIZ scream the woman seized the kettle,
ran out into the yard, opened the lid
and poured out the water and a scalded
snake. The reptile writhed slowly
away, but whether 1t survived its hot
bath is not known, but If it knows any
thing it will stay out of cisterns in fu-
ture.
