Rude Prince.

It has not always been wise to look to
a royal court for the etiquette of polite
society. Witness this quotation from the
Countess Potocka," a recollection of
Princess Czartoryska, an incident of the
court life of Joseph II at Berlin.
One day, at the end of dinner, she re-
lated that she had known Prince Kau-
nitz, who had varied reputation, and
incidentally one for impudence. Having
fine teeth, he attended to them without
the slightest regard for his guests. As
soon as the table was cleared his valet
put mirror, basin and brushes before
him, and then and there the prince be-
gan his morning toilet over again, just as
if he were alone in his dressing room,
while every one was waiting for him to
finish to get up from the table.
81 could not suppress my astonish-
ment," says Countess Potocka, "and ask
ed the princess if she, too, had waited.
Yes, alas she replied, I was so put
out of countenance that only recovered
my senses at the foot of the stairs, but
later on it was different. complained
of the heat and left the table at des-

PickIed RaiIroad Ties.

Picked railroad ties are now being
used to great extent all over the
country. A number of railroads, in
GLIDING the Burlington. the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific, have plants
of their own in which the ties are
picked. How to preserve the ties and
add to their life and durability has
been a serious problem for railroad
operatives ever since the early days OF
transportation by rail. The constant
wear and tear of ties has necessitated
their replacement as soon as they were
perceptibly worn. A solution of chic
ride of zinc is applied by specially
arranged process. The ties are put in
large alright cylinders, the air is
pumped out and the ties are heated by
steam. The chemicals are then pump
ed in and the ties kept in the solution
under high pressure until they are sat
urated. Philadelphia Record.

guage, respectful in their demeanor,
and not once did l hear one Of them
grumble or complain. We ran into the
Amazon and up that river for 40 miles
to set them ashore. In his gratitude to
them the captain gave them sailcloth
for two tents, a musket, lot of clothes
from the slop chest and all the provi-
sions we could spare. With cooking
utensils, fishhooks and a few carpen-
ters' tools they were fairly well rugged
out for life on the banks of the stream
for half year to come, and at parting
there were as much handshakings and
as many farewells as If band Of old
friends was breaking up. Their escape
from the colony was desperate one
and the authorities made an exhaustive
search; but, so far as have been able
to learn, not one of the dozen has ever
been retaken.

Not Above HI. Business.

Young Brodhead, scion of wealthy
family, cherished journalistic ambi-
tons and, like sensible youth, had re-
solved to begin at the beginning.
He had applied for and obtained a
position as reporter on daily paper
at a moderate salary, where he was
treated precisely like any other report
er, Sinking no assignment that came
in his way and putting on no airs on
account of his wealth or social stand
ing.
He had not thought it worth while,
however, to acquaint the family serv-
ants with the nature of his daily occu-
pations, and when a fellow reporter
came to the house one day with mes
sage from the city editor the fiunky in
attendance at the front door took him
around the house and brought him up
to the young mans room by a back
stairway.
why didn't you show MFR. Craig up
by way of the front hallT" demanded
young Brodhead.
Hes only a reporter" whispered the
butler.
Imagine the dignified f1unky's horror
when his master responded in an audi
BILE voice:
"I'm only reporter myself, you don
key!"- Youths Companion.
