How d Baby Prince Conquered.

The birth of son to the duchess of Aosta, it is said, was great shock to the princess of Naples, which has in- creased her very natural grief at her own ehildlessness. Prince Amadeo (who by leue of this childlessness is now in succession to the throne) is a small, faif-haired baby of about year, with more than the ordinary amount of haDyish winning ways. One day the princess met the little chap in corri- dor in his nurses arms. She would have avoided him, as usual, but as she passed with ayerted head he suddenly held out his fat, dimpled arms, and on the impulse of the moment she took him from the nurse, while her eyes filled with tears The little fellow laid his lips on each of her lids, stroking her cheeks with both hands. She gave a sob. and has ever since been his most devoted slave.

COURT DRESS.
Costume Prescribed for Diplomats at
 the Russian Capital,

Quite ripple of excitement in American diplomatic cir,ses was caused by circular issued under the personal instructions of the emperor by the Russian minister of foreign affairs, and which reopens the much-discussed question of court dress for American diplomatic representatives abroad. The circular formally notifies all for eign embassies and legations at St. Petersburg that the court costume of a dark-blue evening coat with vel vet collar and brass buttons, white oi blue waisteoat and blue trousers, is prescribed for all persons not other- 3E.ss entitled to wear uniforms who a eoart ceremonies. The Russian c. 9r explicitly states that the new re23 aslons apply to all distinguished foi44 sners and accredited representa-. tiyes in Russia of such countries as have not adopted for their diplomatic officers specific uniforms or costumes. It is stated by those in a position to know that similar measures are likely to be taken at the court of Berlin, Co., peaha gen, The Hague and Brussels. It is well known that the plain black evening dress worn by official repre- sentat!ges of the United States is not recognized at St. Petersburg as suit able for occasions of ceremony, and ia looked upon by the court chamberlains very much as those assembled at a dinner party in New York would re- gard a guest attired in tweed and knickerbockers. During an informal exchange of views, which preceded the issuance of the Russian circular. ai- ready forwarded to the state depart ment at Washington, Mir. Tower, tho ambassador at St. Petersburg, earn estlE requested the Russian authorities 10 adopt as plain a style for diplomatic offlcers as was consistent with the re- quirements, in order to make it &C., cord with American views on the sub- 1eet. The Russian government ac- cepted the suggestion, and prescribed 6 court costume of cloth instead Of velvet, as was originally contemplated

A story of Anthony Hope.

When MT. Anthony Hope Hawkins visited America in 1897 he had to go through much interviewing. On one occasion about twenty reporters gath cred around him in his managers office near Union Square. in New York. The novelist, shy, reticent and almost bash ful, sat at the center table, while the newsmen stood around him, and the spokesman asked him all manner of questions, first of all, of course, how he liked America. As MT. Hawkins had only been in America four brief hours, he was unable to express any opinion of value upon the subject. Then came in quick succession inquiries as to oth. CT authors and their relative merits. Probably the question which was the hardest to answer was an important one, propounded by a self-authorized interrogator. It was; MT. Hawkins, what in your opinion is your greatest work?' It never has been written. sir was the reply of the Engnshman. And then deep silence fell upon the greup.-M. A. P.

The Eccentric Flight of the woodcosk Makes Him Almost Impossible to Hit.

The Eccentric Flight of the Woodcosk
 Makes Him Almost Impossible to Hit.
 The peculiar habit of the woodeock probably the most difficult of winged marks. In the daytime he remains al- ways in thiekets, copses or cane-brakes. He must have ground upon which to sleep and and ill wnlch to do his occa
 sional daylight boring, and moist ground generally means always dense undergrowth. Indeed, some of the places most favored by the woodcoek are so thickly oyergrown that a rabbit finds difficulty in getting through. h such places the hunter send in his cocker spaniel, if he has one, knowing that the dog will flush the bird with his shrill, constant barking, and trust ing to luck to get shot as the wood cock clears the tops of the trees or canes. Generally, however, man and pointer may work their way through almost anything that grows in shape of woods and entangling vines, and it must be admitted that the difficulties SA ~ 1SAAo No tA1O opO1 O.

 cination that does not pertain to any other form of American shooting. It IS characteristic of the woodcock that he will not fly far horizontally when disturbed. He does not see well, even in the shadow of the oaks and c y- presses, and he fears that if he lets himself out in a straight line he will run into something. At night he sees as we'll as an owl His flight, conse- quently, when he rises before the heavy tread of the pointers owner, or before the yelp of the spaniel, is con- fined to spiral shoot straight upward and drop to earth almost as perpen- dieular. If not struck he will hit the ground probably not more than fifteen yeards from where he left it. In cane Or other kinds of swamp he might as well be a hundred yards away, so far as any chance of shooting him is con- cerned. The flight is nothing like so fast as the buzzing dart of the quail or the wide-swinging zigzag of the iacksnipe, but it is highly eccentric.

How the riIpinos Bury Their Dead.

How the Filipinos Bury Their Dsad.
 A Manila correspondent of all Amer lean newspaper says that the Filipinos do not bury their dead under ground, but in tiers of masonry. In Manila, Paco cemetery is the most important place of burial. The high walls of masonry in which are the long vaults, each the size for one body, are built in circles, one within the other, with a walk between. As the coffin is thrust in the vault the mourners rend the air with their walls, but they stand by quietly while it is sealed with bricks and mortar; when the final crevice had been filled they quietly disperse. These vaults are hired, not bought, ot the church, and when the rent is not forthcoming the body is torn out, nc matter in what state of preservation. and the vault rented to some one else who can afford to pay. The bones thus desecrated are thrown in heap in Q place prepared for the purpose, where there is large and gruesome col]ec. ton.
