DANCED WITH VICTORIA.
A Philadelphia G G-ntleman Who Tool
 Part in a Royal Ctillion.

"Richard, have been told thee has be dancing with the Queen, I do hope, my son, thee will not marry out of meeting"
 The good, old-fashioned quaker sim pl!city and d.strust of roy alty were ncv- CT better exhibit ad than in these words If the mother of Richard VauX. They were her first greeting to him on his return home fr.m the court of St James after his memorable exploit at the Elll in Buckingham palace, when he attained the distlnnrio of being the on,y American who ever danced with queen Victoria.
 It was in lS&7 MT Naux's position a3 secretary to MT. Stevenson, United States minister to the court of St. James, was in i,solf q noteworthy one, and brought him at once into social prominence in London, but his excep- ti.u3l attributes. his brilliancy of con- Versation, charm of person, exquisite manners. elegance Of d,ction and gal lantry of carriage made him the beau ideal of court cavalier and a welcome gu st in the houses of the nobility, where he was received and welcomed With open arms. No gne, therefore was greatly surprised in court circles when 1t became known that the young queen had singled him out for a signal honor. and had commanded that he at tend the court ball at Buckingham pal ace, which was to be given in honor of her coronation.
 When, however, tho night of iha ball arrived, and the "Queen's cOtillion" set was formed and the guests h,held Richard NauX, arraycd in his brilliant court costume, take his place in it. a position that Was supposed tp bc re- served for royalty alone, there were the music struck up and the gallant young American threaded h's way through the intriCacics of the royal dance, bearing Himself with an air of grace and confidence that was wonder fui - behCld The queen was seen to smile in gracious approval as he took her flre and led her through Che evo- not man present who would not have given co"ccet to have won SO covet q . 7'-tinctiOn.
 After that MT. NauX's career was a series of social triumphs. In his can did1ry for congress in 1890 certain Vot- CTS in his district resented his having danced with the queen. and used the democracy.-Ph!ladelphia Press,

believed. as The Republican has ak along believed, that the investm mt would be a nest profitable one for Ari- zona and that the exhibit which i, will make possible will be higher bid for statehood than all the memorials and all the representations which can be written or uttered.
 However, leaving statehood out of he question, an enormous dividend will be declared up2n the Investment. If IL should attract S5,OOO,O % of capital to the territory, aEl that is an incon- ceiyably small result, the tax on this increased capital alone in a few<yeavs would rcplenish the treasury for th" outlay. The devtlopm Tt of the re- sources of the territory which would be accomplished by that much money would in q much greater degree iD- crease our taxable wealth. This calcu- lation does no involve the much greater benefit tu the residents of the territory whose mines and whcrc farms will be given a new value in the activity which an accession of new capital and population will stimulate,

Our relations with Cuba by no means justify such a discouraged conclusion
 as ia reached by the CUBAS Boston Herald, when it CONDITION. says: There has been
 process of disillusiou- iZation, beginning first with the belief in tha entire adequacy of the CubanS to govern themselves, Which they who doubted three years ago were thought tJ be traitors to their country. and this discovery has been followed more r1- gently by the other, that, w',h all cur professi ms of disnterestedncss and love of humanity, we are by TO means we'll adapted as nation tc take up and play the role of libcrator of an oppressed people"
 It is becoming more and more urgent that our connection with the island shall be definitely defr. d, but this country has undoubtedly liberated an oppressed people. The Herald should compare the condition of Havana or Sarf,iagO With the condition of either three years ago; 1t sh 1ulu count the thousands of public schools on the island, with their 15O,O0O pupils; it should ponder upon the significance of that visit to Cambridge of hundreds of Cuban teachers; it should bear in mind the countless noble services performed by .ac UnNeI States andy in Cuba an5 it should be If bette" cheer.

THE TEACHERS WIFE.

Clarissa, MIMI, Oct. 2sth-Mrs. Clara
Keys, wife of Chas. Keys, school teach
er of this place, tells wonderful story.
For years her life was one of misery.
Her back ached all the time, her head
ached all the time; neuralgia pains
drove her to desperation. She used
much medicine, but failed to get any
relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.
She says:
"Very soon after I began using
Dodd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning dew.
I consider this remedy God-send to
suffering womanhood."
Encouraged by their success in her
own case, Mrs. Keys induced her
mother, an old lady of "A years, to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills for her many
aches and pains. Now both mother
and daughterrejoice perfect freedom
from illness or suffering which is some
thing neither had enjoyed for years
before.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS.
"A strip is prepared from carrots.

A strip is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and
gently laxative.
Boiled carrot is used as poultice for
foul sores, and as a vermifuge.
Carrots, when cut into small pieces
and roasted, are occasionally used as
a substitute for coffee in Germany.
A strong ardent spirit is distilled
from carrots in some parts of Europe,
ten pounds of carrots yielding about
half pint.
In the reign of Charles I. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
of feathers; and the beauty of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
a root, or the upper portion OF one, in
water, that it may throw out young
leaves to adorn apartments in winter.
As an article of food carrots con-
tain a large amount Of what are called
heat-producing compounds, with q
small proportion of flesh-forming mat
ter. 1t consists essentially Of starch,
sugar and albumen, with q volatile oil
which communicates flavor unpleas-
ant to many dyspeptics.

A Neat Experiment with Bottle anu

This is not trick, although it has
the appearance of one to person
not familiar with the principle on
which it is done; we call, it, there
fore, an experiment, and a very
pretty one it is. Any deft-fingered
boy can make it with ease and skill.
You will need common wine bot

cork with red-hot wire of about
the same diameter as the straws, and
carefully work a straw through each

the top of the cork as far as the
tumbler is deep; in other words, it

THE HUMMING-BIRD.
Where to Find the Nest of This CURL
Gus Little Thing, and How IL
Feeds Its Young.

In St. Nicholas, Henry Hales writes
of the ruby -throated humming bird.
The humming bird builds on the up
per side of branch, branch gener-
ally about the size of the nest. Inc
nest is beautifully felted with tne
white vegetable down and studded on
the outside with fine lichens and min
ute specks of bark like the branch IL
self.
They do not seem to retire to Sc
cluded places to build; they are as &C.
centric in their choice OF a nestlnS
place as in their nature and habits
Some suppose their nests are near the
rardens or vines they visit; but thar
Is not often the case. A few magic
vibrations of the wings, and they are
far away in few seconds.
The last nest I found was on the
outer end of branch of silver poplar
that hung over public road; every
carriage top that passed under 1t was
within few feet of the nest-the last
place in the world where should have
expected to find such nest. should
not have seen it except that I was &C.
cidentally looking up into the tree,
and I saw, protruding over the side OF
the nest, the long, fine bill that hap
pened just then to stir. The nest
might have been passed hundreds OF
times and been taken for small knot
unless thus betrayed.
These birds lay but two eggs-tiny
white morsels. The young birds when
first Matched are curious little things,
and feed by inserting their bills in the
mouths and threats of their parents.
AS the food of the parentsi is composed
of nectar and fine insects, it is easily
made ready for the little ones tiny
stomachs.

IN EXTREMES.

When the face Of the dying turns gray.
And the time has come
When the soul must wend its way
TO its last long home,
Who is 1t bends over the dying
OF all that are human
Last seen by the sufferer helpless lying?
IT'S the form Of q woman.
Mother, or sister, or wife,
Or some sweet daughter,
Nurses the ebbing life,
Vets the parched lips with water
Plies every loving art
To comfort the one that Is going,
From her own half-broken, aching heart
A last sad smile bestowtng.
o women of all the lands,
In the future as in the past,
To your plying hearts and tender hands
We all must come at last;
We may trife, neglect, disdain,
But to you and to none other
We turn in our sore distress and pain
Wife, sister, daughter, mother.

To him who knows not where to 60, there
can be no better place suggested than the
Pocono mountains, lying in the northeast
ern part of Pennsylvania, along the beauti-
health, or sport, you can hardly experience
the latter without acquiring the former.
The elevation of the mountains varies from
1000 to 1900 feet, and are one dense growth
of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other
large game are: plentiful, and though the
region is visited by thousands of sportsmen
every year, there seems to be no noticeable
decrease in the attractions offered. The
Pocono mountain hotels, camps and game
preserves are readily accessible by. the
Lackawanna Railroad, the great trunk line
between New York and the Great Lakes.

short straw with a little bit of wax
or dough, force the cork into the bot
tie until the water spurts out OF the
top of the long straw. You have now
all the conditions necessary to the
performance of your feat, which is
to empty the tumbler by means of
the bottle without reducing the
quantity of water in the bottle.
Turn the bottle upside down;
quickly slip off the end of the short
straw with it's dough stopper, and in
sert the short straw in the tumbler
so that it reaches to the bottom. The
water will then begin to run out of
the long straw Unto bowl provid-
ed to receive it); but if you notice
the tumbler you will see that it is
from it the water is coming, for it's
supply is gradually decreasing, while
the bottle all the time remains full.
You can thus completely empty the
glass, leaving the original quantity
of water in the bottle.
The explanation is that the two
straws make siphon, which begins
to act Immediately because the two
branches are full of water at the
start. As the water runs out Of the
bottle through the long straw, the
water from the tumbler rises
through the short straw to take Its
place; and this continues until the
glass is emptied.-Cincinnati Com

so I'll tell you about that.
Everybody put in a dollar or SO, and
they bought turkeys. Along about 10
