A LOST KING.
That Was Centuries Ago, But His
Faithful People sttIl Wat
for HIS C0ming.

In olden times, when European king,
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonels
are to-day, it was not an exceptional
occurrence for a king to disappear and
never be heard of again. In recent
times, however, the people have been
more careful of their kings. So when
King Sebastian of Portugal disappeared
in battle July 90, 1878, while fighting
the Moors at Alcazar, there was great
commotion. The Moors surrendered
to the Portuguese body said to be that
of the king. but it was rumored that the
Moors had the live king in custody.
The surrendered body was buried with
royal honors at Belem, but the faithful
Portuguese persisted in waiting for
the return of their king. Long after he
would have died in the course of nature
his countrymen longingly awaited his
coming. Even up to this day the legend
of the return of King Sebastian is be-
lieved by many, and on stormy nights
credulous Portuguese citizens will
wrap their cloaks about them and go
outside and watch the storm. thinking
that the king may appear in c.ouo of
fire and again rule over his people.

CACTI IN A BOTTLE.
Thus Inclosed They VIII Grow WITH
out AIR or water and FlOur-
ish for Years.

A new method of growing cac.i has
been discovered in the botanical gar
dens of Berlin. All that is required is a
shapely bottle. little rich earth and a
few cactus seeds that can, be bought of
any florist for few cents. Bottles in
which creme de menthe or some of the
other cordials usually come, are well
adapted to this purpose on account of
the clearness of the glass and the grace
of their shape.
Having secured the bottle, cleanse it
thoroughly and then put earth in 1t un-
til the bottom is covered to height of
about an inch. Sprinkle this earth well,
almost soaking wet, and then throw in
three or four cactus seeds. Close the
bottle snugly with tight-fittiDg cork
and seal IL well with sealing wax. Tie
a strong cord around the neck of the
bottle and hang !, in window that the
sun reaches for at least several hours
every day. In cold weather the bottle
must not be exposed. The living room
with constant temperature of 20 de-
grees or more. suits the experiment ad-
mirably. Then the entire process of
growth can be watched with no small
Interest. The opening and roofing of
the seeds and the gradual development
OF the plants will follow, almost as If
by magic.

One of the odd features of the Philip

QUAINT DOLL HEADS.
Some Of Metal Included Nowadays I'm
the Variety Supplied 70 the
Dealers.

Years ago doll heads were made Of
wood, carved out by hand, and great
numbers of dolls were sold that were
entirely of wood, with jointed arms and
legs. Some dolls of this sort, looking
quaint enough now, though they were
once 80 common, are still sold, but the
great bulk of the dolls now made have
bodies of cf,nee or leather, with heads of
china, bisq e, or papier-mache. There
are also now dolls heads of metal;
these heads being made of brass in two
parts, stamped out with dies and
joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made, many dies are used in the
production of single head, the metal
being worked to its final shape gradual
ly. The first die makes but barely
perceptible impression upon the piece
of sheet metal from which the head is TO
be formed. The next shapes II little
more; and SO on by pressure from suc-
cessiye dies, each little more sharp
ly defined, the head is brought finally
to it's perfect form. These heads are
made in various sizes, and in various
styles as to details of finish. They cost
about the same as the best bisque
heads; but one of the merits claimed
for them is indestructibility.

in the prison al Sherborn, Mass. of

MANY PUZZLERS.
In D~ciphering Them the London
Postal Department Has Ac-
quilted Itself FavOrsbly.

AS corollary to the recently issued re-
port Of the postmaster general, where
the item of insuffjciently or obscurely
addressed letters is dealt with, II may
be noted that the department had had
many tough tasks to deal with, and has
acquitted itself triumphantly, says the
London Telegraph. Once an envelope
intrusted to II on which was inscribed
-"Grofredevi, London"-sent from
ltaly-was delivered to the eminent sci
enlist, Sir Humphrey Davy.
But perhaps st. Martins most sur
passed itself on points of cuteness, when
recently letter reached the authorities
which had been posted at Inverness,
bearing the rude scrawl: "Tuslmor,
pipe, Colstraly.' Every person ~ss
puzzled. Then II was decided, consid-
ering the quarter whence the missive
was sent, to call In the services of an
ex-soldier Of a Highland regiment, a
Gaelic speaker, who was employed as q
mail cart driver. This authority thus
read the inscriptions: "Dugal More,
piper, Gold, Australia" Then the gold
rush to Australia was In full swing,
and Dugal More, it was surmised, was
one Of the miners. Months afterward
intelligence reached the department to
the effect that the addressee had been
discovered. The letter, which was from
his brother, was delivered TO Dugal,
while he was delighting his Caledonian
comrades on the gold fields by skirling
on the bagpipes.

A QUAKER WEDDING.
Quaint Nuptial Ceremony Witnesses
by q ChicaRoan Visiting IN
the East.

A recent Chicago visitor to the east
writes thus descriptively Of a Quaker
nuptial ceremony he had the privilege
of attending:
AT Quaker wedding last week,
where there were no display, decora-
tions, maids or groomsmen, the air
seemed charged with joy. After si-
lence of several minutes the guests
arose, and the bridegroom, taking the
presence and before this assembly l
take Patience b to be my wife,
promising to be to her faithful and
affectiouate husband until death shall
separate u.s. The bride responded: 4
take thee. John +, to be my hus-
band, promising TO be a faithful and af-
fectionate wife until death shall sep
arate us Aprayer was made, the bride
groom kissed the bride, and after con-
gratulations had been said all re-
paired to the dining-room, where the
breakfast was spread. The table was
set with the family silver and china,
which had come from England with the
great-grandfather of the bride. and
there was a single rose at each corner.
After the breakfast the entire party
accompanied the happy pair across the
meadow TO their new home and were
shown the gifts OF loving friends. One
of the guests was heard to say as he
started homeward: What Is the use of
all the fuss and worry attendant upon
even a moderately elaborate wedding,
when one can have such a sweet time as
that was without them?'"

UNIQUE cOURTsHIp.
Vow the Young Men of the Transvaal
Make Love to the Ladies of
Their Choice.

There is something very comic ac-
cording to our notions in the way a
Boer manages his love-making. Hav-
ing asked the permission of his father
to court a certain damsel in the neigh
borhood-by that is meant anywhere
within about so miles-he proceeds to
purchase the most strikingly decorated
and loudly colored saddle cloth for his
steed that he can possibly obtain. He
will very likely spend large sum of
money on this, for it is special occa-
sion, and no one knowing the country
and the habits of the people will have
the least doubt from ths appearance of
his horse that he is in quest of a bride.
Having made his preparations he
mounts his most spirited horse and
journeys to the lady, home, but instead
of seeking out the object of his affec-
tions he respectfully asks permission of
her father to court her. The old man
cautiously refrains from answering,
but consults his wife, and the youth
joins the younger members Of the
household.
No further notice is taken of the
suitor for the rest of the day, but il the
parents approve of him, when the rest
of the household retire for the night
the mother solemnly approaches the
young man and maiden with long tall
low candle in her hand. This she places
OH the table and lights and then. hav-
ing taken an affectionate farewell of
the couple, she retires. This is sign
to the lover that his suit is acceptable.
As long as the candle lasts the young
people are allowed to sit up and talk.

THE OLD MlLlPONO.

Did you ever brave the perils
OF the vasty deep?
Where the bullfrog means and mumble
And the tadpoles weep?
All! but / have, and cherish
Recollections fond
OF those days of navigation
On the old millpond
There were Charlie. Frank and Oscar
And myself; we four
Sailed that vast expanse Of water
Very often o'er
Brave, intrepid were the seamen,
Steady was our craft
Odds and ends of bits of lumber
Made into raft.
Once we visited az, island.
Wishing to explore,
And we moored our trusty vessel
On the islands shore.
While we roamed, the land exploring.
Unconcerned and gay,
Ruthless waves our craft belabored,
Washed the raft away.
But to seamen such as we were,
Traversing the wave.
Shipwreck was a trif1ing matter
We were dauntless, brave.
Tying up our clothes in bundles,
So they dry would keep,
Naked swan we TO the mainland
Through the Vastly deep.
Many years have passed since that day;
Sailors still are we,
Buffeting the waves tina. roll on
Life's tempestuous sea;
But through all the storms cherish
Recollections fond
OF those days of navigation
On the Old millpond.
