GIVES FREELY TO CHARITY.
Portugars oueeh Dcvotcs Her Time

and Money to Doing Good.
From Harper's Weekly: We hear
less about Portugal than about Spain
at any time. and of late have heard
less than usual. The queen OF Portu-
gal is sovereign deserving a long
mark for her interest in hospitals and
hygiene, and also in the welfare Of the
children of poverty. At Alcantara she
founded in 1893, a dispensary peculiar
ly for meeting the demands of childish
invallds, as pleasantly situated as pos
sible, and spaciously planned, combin-
ing diet kitchen, consultation rooms.
surgical halls, and much OF the depart
mental work OF hospital. Almost
every day the queen herself goes to the
establishment and takes a personal
share in the labors of the charity, now
waiting in the kitchen distributions.
and again assisting In the surgery. Sew
eral wellknown women OF her court
are equally practical. The general
charge of 1t Is committed to religious
order, favorite of the queens, but
the eminent Portuguese physician. DR..
Silva Carvalho, heads the staff Of med
ical workers. In one year (1S96) there
were given to the building 1853 con-
sultatlons, 63.704 rations from the diet
kitchen, 1851 bandages. 76.4s0 pre-
scriptions and 40 vaccinations. The
milk and vegetables are furnished
gratis by the queen. and the medical
supplies are also betrayed by her. Fiji
teen hundred babies were treated in
one twelvemonth. 1t is said that there
is not any royal charity Of the sort in
Europe so efficiently managed. with the
additional active cooperation OF the
founder.

wellington and Waterloo.

The Duke of Wellington told Lag
Mornington: Il have taken a good
deal of pains with many of my battles,
but I never took half the pains l did
at Waterloo. There never was such
a battle-150,000 men hors de combat.
Blucher lost 10000. l can account for
10000, and the French loss may be
fairly reckoned at 100000 more" Gen
eral Arthur Upton (born IT'D asked
the Duke what he would have done
had the Prussians not come up in time.
The Duke replied: 1.-The Prussians
were OF the greatest use in the pursuit.
If they had not come up in time, what
should we have done? Why, we should
have held our ground-that is what we
should have done! Our army was
drawn up into a great many squares,
with the cavalry riding among them.
saw 1t was necessary to present a
length OF front to the enemy, so I
made them fall into line, four deep.
That maneuver won the battle; 1t was
never tried before" After the pursuit
of the French army to Genappe the
Duke Of Wellington and my uncle
Henry Percy, returned to Waterloo
The Duke was very low. and said to my
uncle: II believe that You are the only
one of my A. D. C.'s left" My uncle
replied: But we ought to be thank
full, sir, that you are safe!" THE fn-
ger OF God was upon me all day-noth
ing else could have saved meT was
the Dukes answer. My uncle replied
that he had feared the Duke was .

French. II got away through the

ROSA BoNHEuR's VANITY.
She Insisted on Having Her Feet In tho
Portrait Because of Their Small Size.

She Insisted on Having Her Feet In tho
Portrait Because of Their Small Size.
Nobody who ever saw Rosa Bon
heur's picture would believe her guilty
of any personal vanity. A blue jeans
blouse and breeches are not the dress
of woman who thinks much about
her looks. But the painter was proud
of her feet. Once an English artist
painted her portrait. She was satisfied
with it, but noticed one detail with
disapproval. But my feet" she asked.
where are they? You must put my
boots in because I have such small
feet" They were small In reality, but
in the general carelessness of the art
lists attire they did not come in for
much attention. She was as proud OF
her Legion of Honor medal as of her
feet, and it always had an especial
value In her eyes. because she got 1t
from the Empress Eugenie's own hand.
Most Of the women in Paris who have
the order are In religious life. One is
an actress. This is Marie Laurent,
said to be the oldest actress on the
French stage. She received the medal,
not for her achievements as an act
ress, but as the head Of the Actors Or
phanase. home for the orphan chill
dren Of actors left without means.

Education in Sweden.

There is probably no country in the
world, unless 1t be America, where SO
much attention is given to the educa-
tion Of the masses as in Sweden. The
attendance at the "Folkskolor," or
public schools, may show a compara-
lively small per cent. of attendance as
regards population, but that il due to
the fact that everybody who can af-
ford it educates his children privately.
At the close of the school year there
were enrolled in the public schools of
Stockholm, the largest city In the king
dom, 24,96O pupils. There are seven
classes in the curriculum. Night schools
and Sunday schools have not attracted
much attention. and interest in them
has declined.

Drum-Horses in British Army.

From the Woman's Home Compah.
ion: In the army of Great Britain the
bands of cavalry are mounted, and the
honorary position in these musical
cavalcades is that of the bearer of the
kettle-drums. The horse selected for
this high position is often bald, but
this particular coloring is not essen
tlal to the office; the animal may be
pure white. At any rate, his appear
ance must be consistent with the show
piece he is in the band. His education
is severe and persistent, bringing him
at last up to the point where his pride
and intelligence make him dignified
and graceful bearer of the handsome
trappngs that surround his high call
ing. His nerves are severely tried by
the booming of the enormous drums
he is destined to bear, but in time he
becomes as Indifferent to the noise as
do his brothers to the singing bullets.
In the parade his rider has his hands
full in the use Of the sticks. He con-
trolls the steed by means of the reins.
which are fastened to the stirrup-strap
near the foot. The fame of the drum
horse is often won on the field of bat
tie. His duty classes him with the
war-horse, and in similar lines lies his
path to glory and renown. The horse
that wins laurels in the battlefield, and
carries himself with becoming dignity
in the parades of peace, will sometimes
find himself in the line of promotion
to the proud position of drum-horse In
the regimental band.

RinE-a-Rinx o. Roses.

When Phyllis dances on the green,
Her airs so witchlnG sweet;
Beside the hawthorn bush I'd lean
For half day to watch unseen
Her pretty tripping feet.
When Chloe binds her auburn hair
With graceful curving arm,
I'd linger-if l might but dare!-
Long hours beside her silken chair
To view those mirrored charms.
When Lesbla lifts her lovely eyes
From some divine romance
I'd kneel beside her where she lies
TIL eve had spread Its starry skies
To catch one melting glance.
But, oh! when glorious Sappho sings.
So heavenly is her tone,
Such passion in her looks she filings.
That l forget all earthly things.
Am hers and Loves alone!

A WEEK OF PLEASURE.

N,aborats Hrsyaratioas Being AaAs 70 En-
tsrtain visitors to the Denver CARNIVAL
The coming Festival OF Mountain
and Plain to be held In Denver, Sep
tembef 18th 10 September 00th, will,
beyond all question, be the banner eel
sbration In Denver's history.
Never before have such elaborate
preparations been made by the board
Of directors, and never have the vari
ous committees worked with such en-
thusiam. Never before has there been
such Q demand for seats, especially
from residents Of the country districts,
and It II now certainty that the ca
pacity Of the grand stand will be
taxed to accommodate the Thousands of
spectators.
The program arranged for the week
cannot fan to appeal to all classes of
citizens. There will be one continual
round of entertainment from Monday
until Saturday.
While the former festivals have oc-
cupied but three days and legion of
entertaining features have been crowd
ed into that time, thus deprivfng many
visitors of needed rest and time to visit
their friends and properly look over the
city, the board of directors this year
has determined to devote tho entire
week to the festival.
Two essentially new features have
been included in the list of attrac
tions-the exposition and state fair and
the horse show. The fair will be open
on Monday and continue through the
week, and from the applications for
space already received from farmers,
hOrticulturalists and manufacturers
throughout the state, its success is al
ready assured.
The horse show will be held on Fri
day and Saturday. September Goth and
30th in front of the grand stand. and
the committee is enthusiastic over the
prospects, many owners of fine stock
in the state as well as in Kansas City
and other eastern points having made
their entries for the event.
The Intervening days will be devoted
to n continuous celebration, the like of
which has never been equaled. The
pageant of the crowning of the Queen
OF the Festival, surrounded by her
Maids of Honor, on Monday evening.
will be one of the most gorgeous ever
witnessed. while the Queens parade
the next day will be a marvel of
beauty. The military parade will also
Inc one of the features and it Is expect
ed that the Colorado veterans from
Manila will be the central point Of at
traction.
Other great features will be the band
contests on Wednesday, the great mas
Querade carnival and mask ball on
Thursday, the grand parade Of the
Slaves of the Silver Serpent. and, to
wind up the festivities of the week, the
grand state ball on Saturday night in
front of the grand stand.
The Mask Carnival of Queen Thalfa
and her court on Thursday, will be the
greatest pageant Of its kind ever wit
messed in this country, not even ex-
cepting that of Mardi Gras at New
Orleans. Every feature will be Of a
novel character, and the costuming
will surpass anything ever seen in
Denver. The list Of prizes to be given
comprises many handsome and costly
articles. Organisations outside Of Dem
yer intending to participate, should at
once notify the secretary at Denver.
