In the palm region of the Amazon
river there is tribe which cradles
their infants in palm leaves. A single
leaf, turned up around the edges by
some native process, makes an excel
lent cradle, and now and then it il
made to do service as a bath tub.
Strong cords are formed from the
fibers of another species of palm, and
by these this natural cradle is swung
alongside a tree, and the wind rocks
the little one to sleep Long ago the
Amazonian mothers discovered that it
was not wise to leave baby and cradle
under cool palm, for the mischiev-
Gus monkey delighted to drop nuts
downward with unerring pecision. An.
older child is stationed nearby to
watch the baby during his siesta, and

Hohenzol,ern to marry anybody from
Servia. The czar quietly intimated
that the king of Servia would save
himsef lot of trouble by not coming
to St. Petersburg.
The emperor of Austria was quite
shocked at the idea, and as for the
prince of Wales-a daughter of his 60
ing to Servia was quite out of the ques-
ton. So the king came home bride
less.
One day he was sadly riding along a
country road, moody and preoccupied.
Suddenly he met Nine. Maschin. Her
beauty electrified him.
He noted her alabaster skin, her deep
violet eyes, her superb figure and the
classic features that would have put
many a Venus to blush. He bowed be-
cause he knew that she had been lady
in-waiting upon Queen Natalie, his
mother. But as boy he had never
realized her beauty before.
''Why do waste my time" he said
to one of his intimates, seeking and
courting homely princesses, when this
divine woman lives at my door?"
He was head over heels in love. He
danced attendance upon Nine. Maschin.
He showered her with gifts. From
sot and a roue he changed in the twin
king of an eye to a decent, sober young
man, full of love for his people and his
beautiful Nine. Maschin. He proposed.
The beautiful widow accepted Only
on July 23 the betrothal was published
in the Official Gazette. There were
murmurs of disapproval. How could
king marry woman of humble
birth?
The king was steadfast He called
his officers about him. He announced
who was to be their queen. A few
cheered. The king was dumfounded.
Then the spirit of the moment carried
them away and they joined in wild
huzzahs.
81 am the king and I can do as
please" announced the king to his
cabinet.
I. The ministers resigned in body.
Ex-King Milan started at once to reach
Servia, vowing that his son could never
marry beneath him. He was general
of the Servian army, and there might
be trouble. King Alexander had his
father stopped at the frontier. Then
the ex-king resigned his command.
AS matter of fact the present Ser
Wan dynasty is not descended from
royalty. AS late as 1929 the head Of
the house, Milos Obrenovitch, was a
swineherd. King Milan's designations
cost him his thrope and forced Queen
Natalie to divorce him.
The new queen is wildly fond of her
people, and they of her. Before her
marriage she took an extended trip
through Servia and was everywhere re-
ceived with great enthusiasm and re-
spect.
"We shall have many difficulties"
she said to a newspaper correspondent,
"but we shall surmount them ALL"
The bridal procession passed through
streets gay with flags and flowers. Car
pets were hunc from windows and the
balconies were crowded with people.
It il estimated that no fewer than 30,-
900 persons came from the provinces
and from abroad to see the wedding
pageant.

COMMISSIONER DUELL.
Head of the United States Patent
Office Is About to Give Up His
Government Position.

Charles H. Duell, who is about to re-
sign from his post of commissioner of
patents, was appointed to that place
by President Mckinley in February.
1898. He is the son of the late R. Hol-
land Duell, who was himself commits
sioner of patents in 1875. Mr.. DuelI is
one of the bright lawyers of New York
state. He is LII. B. of Hamilton college
law school, from which he was grad
uated in 1872. In June of the same year
he was admitted to the bar in Utica,
and began practice in Cortlandt, but
soon removed to New York city, whers

ROYAL LOVE MATCH.
Beauty of Lowly Station Now Is
Queen of Servia.
Young King AIexan der Lost His Heart
to the Pretty Widow of an En-
gineer and Forgot All About
His Station.

The king of Ser7ia has married him
self to the beautiful woman beyond the
pale of royalty, and the Seryian throne
shakes violently thereat. Who ever
heard of king marrying anybody but
another queen, or at least princess?
But Nine. Draga Maschin was neither
queen, princess or even a humble off
spring or cousin to royalty. But she
Is now queen. In fact, the young king
Of Servia has quite set the courts Of
Europe by the ears.
Nine. Maschin was widow. She has
no title, nor has her family. Her father
was minor court official. Her reputa-
ton is spotless, though. She is quite
poor. She is likewise young.
Before she was out of her teens the
girl was married off to an engineer.
She had but a few years of wifehood,
which were very unhappy. Then her
husband died, leaving her still young
and more beautiful than ever, but quite
sad.
The king of Servia, whose father alb
dicated the throne in his favor chiefly
because there would have been a revo-
luton if he hadn't, went a-seeking a
wife year ago. He thought. of course,
that he must have princess of royal
blood for his queen. There being none
at home, he went abroad.
He saw the king of Belgium. who
said that he wasn't marrying any of
his daughters just then. He took a
trip to Berlin. where Kaiser Wilhelm

majority of them accept any state
of affairs as a matter of course. A
correspondent declares that he never
heard but one Porto Rcan make a
protest of any kind. A merchant was
walking along the street when he was
attacked by stray steer. The ami
mai chased the man about block
and finally gave him toss that
landed him on the veranda of a
house. The American fastened to his
assistance, and was agreeably sur
prlsed to find that the merchant was
not injured. But his feelings were
hurt. ''Senor," he said, Il like it
not. The beast should have rolled
me in the ditch, instead of tossing me
here. Never before was tossed upon
this veranda, and l can't under

burg, W. Va, at that time an obscure
newspaper. Under his management
the property grew in value, until the
paper became a leading republican
newspaper in the state. In 1887 Mr.
White was elected president of the
National Editorial association of the
United States.
Mr.. White is an effective stump
speaker, possessed, too, of a genius
for political organization. His serv-
ices to the party have not gone unrec-
ognized. President Harrison appoint
ed him collector of internal revenue
for the district of West Virginia in
1889. Mr.. White has large financial
interests. His nomination was unan-

tent engaged in quarrel and became
so boisterous that the minister's in
vocation was interrupted.
The supposedly dying soldier raised
himself on one elbow and ripping out
an emphatic oath, demanded of one
of the subalterns in waiting that he
maintain quiet while the parson was
praying. Rev. Mr.. Carnahan had been
scarcely as much astonished by the
noise outside as he was by the ro-
business OF Chaffee's oath. The min
lister finished his prayer and, receiv-
ing the thanks of Chaffee, left him,
apparently dying.
But the gallant officer did not die.
He regained his health and made a
host of friends among the best citi-
zens of Mississippi by the justice and
fairness of his course.

ard or other purchaser knows the
goods perfectly by the label, which is
to him an unmistakable brand; he
wouldn't care a bit if the label was
scratched or marred, as it might be by
coming in contact with something
through the open space in the crate
What he wants is the goods.
ION the other hand the small cans
are completely covered with a hand
some label, which helps to make the
goods salable. These cans are dis
played on the shelves and on counters
and it is important, of course, that
these should be in perfect order as to
the labels. The cans must not be dent
ed in. One bad-looking can might mar
a whole display, besides not selling so
well itself. So the small cans are
shipped in boxes for their protection.

Chinese Have No sunday.

There is no Sabbath in China, but
to make up for this there are many
general and local festival days. Busi-
ness is suspended only on the frst
day of the year, and then everybody
makes merry and celebrates the day
with good eating and drinking. The
first three days of the lunar year and
several days about the middle of April
are devoted also to worship at the
tombs. The days of relaxation and
merrymaking are the two solstioes
and the festival Of the dragon boata.

CHAFFEE'S BLUNTNESS.
AstOnished the Minister who Was
Praying at His Supposed
Deathbed.

Gen. Chaffee, who has been placed
in command of the American forces
in China, has a brusque way about
him. He was once stationed in Missis-
sippi, and while at Oxford was quite
popular, says Chicago paper. Going
to Jackson while the yellow fever was
raging there, he was stricken with the
plague. He and his friends thought
the disease would have a fatal termi-
nation. An Episcopal minister, Rev.
Mr.. Carnahan, was sent for to make
the dying soldiers peace with the
world.
The minister read several Scriptural
passages and then knelt beside the
sick officers cot in prayer. At that
juncture several soldiers outside the

ECONOMY WOULDN'T PAY.
Why Some Canned Goods of Com
merce Are Shipped Grated and
Others Are Boxed.

Goods in large packages, like, for
instance, tomatoes in gallon cans,'
said the canned goods man, according
to the New York Sun, "are sometimes
Grated, this being done for the sake of
economy, the crate costing less than
box. But canned goods in smaller pack
ages, of which the number Of cans put
up is enormous, are commonly shipped
in boxes. The reason for this is very
simple.
The big cans are likely to have only
a strip or a band label, the rest of
the broad eXpanse of tin being left un-
covered. 1t isn't necessary to put this
package up in fancy style, for it is not
to be displayed anywhere. These
goods are sold to hotels and restaur-
