Told of R Royal Lad.

4 writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: "One day, during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile, Mexico and other Spanish American colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artistically that the royal boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after 1t had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last thought having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired: What must do in order to get back these countries for Spain?' The first and most i'm portant thing of all,' replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue. is that your majesty ehould-should- grow up to be a man.

Esw Guinea CockatoosZ Crack Hardest
 Nuts with Ease.
 A few New Guinea eoekatoos, | rare species in this latitude, have been brought to Chicago recently and have created much interest by their odd ap- pearance and actions. They are as large as pheasants and jet black in color. The bird is remarkable for it's immensely strong bill and the clever manner in which 1t is used. The bill is as hard as steel and the upper part has deep notch in it. The favorite food of this coekatoo is the kernel of the canary nut, but there is wonderful ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut is something like brazil nut, but it Is ten times as hard. In fact, 1t requires the blow of heavy hammer to crack it. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. The eoekatoo might throw the nut down, but it would not break, or it might hold 1t in it's claws like the parrots usually do with their food, and at- tempt to crush it, but the smoothnesS of the nut would cause it to fly out of the beak. Nature appears to have given the possessor of the wonderful bill some intelligence to direct it's powers, for the cockatoo takes one ot the nuts edgewise in it's bill and by carving motion of it's sharp lower beak makes a small notch on it. This done, the bird takes hold of the nut with it's claws, and, biting off piece of leaf, retains it in the deep notch of the upper part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the upper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented from slipping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in it's claws and pokes the long, sharp point of it's bill Into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit The cockatoo has very long tongue, which collects each morsel as 1t is broken off by the bill. This is a wonderful process, for it is quite clear that without the leaf nothing could be done, and it proves how certain structures In birds are made to destroy certain parts of plants Chicago Chronicle.

THE CHtLDtS MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In.
 dastrlal Life.

dustrlal Life.
 Expand the childs mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides Of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made. next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to a brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The attenuation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When Srayel is possible we should give the child glimpses of mountains and sights of the sea. and let him become ac- quainted with mountaineers and fisher- men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen. so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts Of peopls and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind is worth far more than theoriz- iHg in school books. It Is not partieu- iarly interesting to child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily com- forts--to the farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and ii converted into four; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth, the whole history of the objects about him is re- yealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general principles.-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Womans Home Companion.

ANOTHER DESIGN
To Complete the Historical Frseze Around
 tho Capitoi.s Rotunda.

Washington Special New York Mall snd Express: It has been the ambition of every administration to complete the historical frieze around the big TO- tdnda under the great dome of the cap itol. This freseo illustrates the history of the United States from the landing Of Columbus. It has been com pleted, except one panel or space. and as each administration has come and gone, designs have been submitted to dll that space with some eveat that occurred during that particular admin istration. The latest suggestion was made during Mr. Cleveland's laet term, when 1t was proposed to fill the vacant space with the scene of the opening Of the Worlds Fair at Chicago. This pie lure was to represent Mir. Cleveland touching the electric button and start ing the machinery of the Columbian exposition. Designs were drawn and submitted, but the project did not quite please the congressional commit tee which has charge of the capitol Within the last few weeks q New York artist has come forward with another design to complete the historical frieze, and this time the subject is the free dom of Cuba. The artist has treated the subject in an aI1egorical way. repre- senting President Mckinley as striking the sbackles off the arms of 8 female, supposed to represent Cuba. soma have proposed that the artist change his design, and. isetead, add other fig ares, representa- 29rf0 Rico, Hawaii, and the Philipa as well as Cuba.

CHAPTER VIII.-CoNr1NuEp.

With thrill of supreme delight
Stanton hailed the first motion of the
wheels as the steamer started, but it
was of very short duration.
He looked about the deck with
shudder. 1t was crowded with the
promiscuous company always to be
found on the Pacific.
Before the land had disappeared
Stanton discovered that it had been all
Il mistake to Imagine that the starting
of the steamer would better his condi-
ton. 1t had only changed it for the
worse.
AS the dark fringe sank into the
by pure muscular resistance to prevent
himself from leaping into the water;
not to suicide, but in an overwhelming
desire to get back again to that fading
fragment of America.
The thought of Imprisonment in that
steamer while she crcpt over the thou
sands Of miles of blank ocean was more
horrible than anything he had suffered
IN the land.
''Oh, Stanton, you fool" he gaspcd.
Turning his back upon the east, he
walked deliberately up TO company of
passengers and began conversation
With one of them.
Before the sun had set the second day
he passengers generally had discov-
cred that there was entertainment
wherever Stanton Glanced to be, and
MAT he w;s always The center of it.
There is wide diversity Of taste and
sentiment upon those steamers, yet
10 one seemed to take exception to the
%ew York lawyer.

said Il somewhat hayward government
clerk 10 two or three near him, when a

him on board, that's Il fact" replied a
purchasing agent.
| "lle is a great addition to our com

| sionary, whose only objection to Stan

laughing company. 'isither ( don,

agree with you. We've been out for /;

he came on board"
1t was difficult to believe, but til,
three watched and waited, only TO dis
cover that the captains eyes wer,
sharper than their senses.
He was the source of many mcrr,

and The fact sank into the missionary's
Lrarl Lie knox Thai There WIS some
thing wrong With Il man who never
| smiled. Tie set himself TO investigate,
in the hope hat he might render some
assistance, and came, very correctly, to
his preliminary conclusions. Then he
tried TO secure an interview, but STAN
tom WAS never alone.
In reality the young lawyer had sim
ply Gisrovcrcd that Of all disagrccablc
things Y hich lie would iEs1jnctively

agreeable, and in u choice of evils he

others about him. Many troubled
soul had done the same before, but lie
knew nothing of such sentiments, either
in himself on in others.
At last the missionary succeeded in
finding stanton nlOr" on deck early one
morning. lie made 4 few preliminary
remarks concerning the human duty OF
bearing one anothcr's burdens, and
said:
"A'ou have more friends on board
than any of us, yet you seem 10 me TO
be in need of a real friend and to lack

sacred Office, rather than its unworthy
holder, and give me your con!idcncc.'

it. DO not he angry, sir. Remember
HAT my only '.csire is TO serve you.
Let Inc even say frankly that you lave

an unfortunate loye-aiiair. Am | not
correct?'
you are correct" said Stanton.
81 am sorry, very sorry" the mission
airy replied, with q look and voice say
ing plainly that he too had suffered,
long ago. "Was she umworthy?" he
asked, gently.
She was exceptionally worthy"
Stanton said.
"lhat is something TO be thankful
for" the missionary exclaimed, glad to
find something consoling. at is well
that you DO not repent having cast your
pearls 10 swine"
81 am thankful" Stanton replied,
With more energy than had been in his
voice for many day. lie was looking
backward.
Docs she love anothcr?" G.c mission
airy asked.
"No."
'1here again you are fortunate.
Surely you must still have hope"
The Irish standard., 1900-03-17

ment he touched it, and before he left
Bagdad Stanton was not only an en-
thusiastic admirer of the Persian and
his theories, but an ardent participant
in his researches.
"What fabulous resources for enjoy
ment are within our reach in every di.
rection, if our eyes are only open to
them!" he exclaimed. "And yet came
within n hairs breadth of living my life
out and dying in the theory that the
only interesting thing in the world was
a question of law"
At last he reached Jerusalem-poor
Jerusalem!-when she was staggering
under the Christian orgies of Passion
Week.
1t is pity to see Jerusalem then, and
Stanton sat in silent disgust in the gal
lery of the Church of the Holy sepul-
chre, looking down upon the mob of
fanatics, and wishing himself back in
heathcndom, when suddenly his
thoughts flew far away to his office in
New York on that morning of Deem
Der G.
lie heard the voice of his first caller,
speaking. He saw her eyes, bright,
flashing, beautiful.
He had thought about that day as
little as possible. of late. 1t was by no
means forgotten, nor was his struggle
to become worthy of the end in view one
whit abated, but thoughts of rfre past
still reused only thenorbid sentiments
he was struggling to dispel.
Again and again he tried to put the
memory out of his mind, but he saw
only those eyes. lie moved restly, and
i involuntarily looked across to the op-
positc gallery.
She was there.
Her arm rested on the rail, her cheek
on her hand. Her head was bent forward
us though she had been watching the
rioters, but her cyes-as plainly as
though they two had been alone, lie saw
that those beautiful eyes were fixed on
| him. For the moment he could not
move. Then, either because she saw
that he was looking or because she did
not see him at all, her eyes turned
slowly to the crowd below.
Instantly he rose, and as quickly as
possible made his way TO the opposite
gallery.
She was no longer there.

duces me to send YOU the cpitaph upon
the founder OF that college, which |
copied from his tombstone in WrcNham
churchyard, North Wales, some years
ago:
~I:liush Yale Esq, was buried the
twenty second Of Ju.y in the year OF our
Lord MDcCNNI.

And that his soul through mercy's gone to
Heaven.

care,
For the most certain exit to prepare,
Where biest in peace the actions Of the just
Smell sweet ana blossom in the silent dust"
The tomb is on the western side of
the church, within an iron railing. At
one time Yale was governor Of Ma
tlras. lie was tried in England for
hanging his groom because he rode his
horse two or three days for the benefit
Of his health without leave of his mas
ter. Yale escaped with I heavy penal
ty. lie was the first man in England
to establish and use . sale by auction.
His wife and only child lie in one grave
at the Cape of Good Hope. From Yale
college, so called after the founder,
hundreds of students have made pill
grimagcs to WrcXham TO view his
grave. The tomb was restored in 1920
by the church warGcns, and again in

CONSERVATION
Has Fallen on the G. O. P. State and
Nation.
Reform Press Bureau,
St. Paul, March IL, 1900.

The wave OF condemnation of the
Minnesota Republican delegation, for
its course on the Porto Rican bill, has
been followed by CONSERVATION among
Republican leaders and press over the
situation. This is the case The ma
jority OF the delegation simply followed
the party leadership, yielding to the
president himself. The latter dragged
the leaders into support OF the bill,
when he himself was on record with a
message to congress declaring for free
trade Tor the island. Condemnation OF
the delegation, therefore, is condemna-
ton OF the president, as the head OF the
party. Thus all Minnesota can be said
to be in revolt against the national
party. Where in the world will this lead
to in the campaign? is the inquiry And
SO the whole party in the state is in con
stcrnation, which is best indicated by
the comment OF the G. O. P. state
