THE ROYAL BOX.

The Duke of Connaught has been ga
zettcd grand master of the Order of the
Bath.
1t is said that Prince Charles of Den
mark, the second son of the Danish
crown prince, will probably hereafter
live in England, as both he and his sister
prefer that country to their own.
Queen Alexandra is the obstacle that
stands in the way of Prince George Of
York inheriting the title prince of Wales.
She was devoted to her eldest son, the
deceased Duke of Clarence, and has Cd
sentimental feeling about her husband 8
title going to any one else.
1t is n rare privilege to be permitted
to visit any of the kaiser's palaces. He
thinks he is entitled to at least as much
privacy as the lowest of his subjects,
and his orders in regard to visitors are
strict. As the Neues palace is regarded
as, above all others, a haven of rest, few
tourists are permitted within its pre-
cincts.
King Edward VII is one of the oldest
of parliamcntarians As a member of
the house of lords since 1862 he has seen
nearly all the peers of today take their
seats. As Duke of Cornwall since his
birth he has possessed Il peerage for a
longer period than any living man ex-
cept Lord Nelson, who succeeded in
1885, and Lord Dufferin, who succeeded
to peerage of Ireland in 1S41.

Horace Greeley was lavish in his gifts,
often to most unworthy recipients, and
was sensitive when admonished on the
subject by even his closest friends, says
a writer In Success. He loaned thou
sands of dollars TO a scapegrace son Of
Commodore Vanderbilt. and when Van
derbilt appealed to him to stop 1t Gree
ley courtly closed the conversation by
saying he did not expect the commodore
to pay the loan.
In one of the mans conversations had
with him in his dingy Office in the old
Tribune building l yentured to suggest
that he was a more generous giver than
his means justified, to which he answer
ed: well, l guess that's so, but | can't
stop it. l am like the southern planter
who, after spending the proceeds Of bis
crop in winter reveling. closed up the ac-
count by selling slave do it by sell
ing a share in The Tribune" He origi-
nally owned nearly or quite one-halt of
the paper. When he died, he had but
one share remaining of the 100.

Love and Thrift.

The late Professor Shuttleworth Of
London was particularly fond of telling
how, when he once acted as locum
tenens in Devonshire, he had to pro
claim the banns Of marriage Of a
young yokel and village maid. A
fortnight later the young swain called
at the professors lodgings.
you put up the banns for me-" he
said
"Yes, l remember" replied Mr..
Shuttleworth.
"Well," inquired the yokel, has 1t
got to 20 on"
What do you mean?" asked the pro-
fessor. Are you tired of the girl?
NO" was the unexpected answer,
"but | like her sister better"
''Oh, if the original girl doesn't mind,
you can marry her sister"
But should 1 have to be called
again?'
Certainly, that's necessary" an
swered Mr. Shuttleworth.
But should have to pay again"
Eyes, it would cost you three and six
pence"
"Oh, would it!" rcjoined the yokel
after reflection. "Then III let it re
main as it is" And he did.-LondOn

Facts About Animals,

Since the natural park at Yosemite,
Cal, has been established and hunters
are forbidden to shoot game the bears
have become so tame that they run
along the roads in front of the stages
and come quite close to the valley
hotels.
In an effort to drive the English
sparrows off the telegraph and tele-
phone wires in Cincinnati current Of
electricity strong enough to kill a man
was turned upon the wires, but the
birds did not move and seemed not to
be injured IN the least.
A cat about half grown can devour
90 mice a day, or 1900 a year.
An owl was shot 400 miles out to sea
by the captain of the British steam
ship Ethelreda. No other case is on
record of land bird having flown SO
far from shore.

which flew aloft, or by the heat of a
cinder tap which lay below where the
fire originated The loss is difficult to
estimate; it may reach one hundrt
thousand dollars. 1t is feared that the
loss is not wholly covered.
During Friday the plant was fairly
besieged by a curious crowd of sight
seers. The scene presented was a desc
late one, indeed.
The fire has eaten out the very heart
of the big structure, leaving in its path a
tangled mass of charred timbers, bent
and broken steam pipe and gearing. In
the ruins lie no less than six steam en-
gines, three of them large ones, used to
operate the bar, skelp and old puddle
mills, respectively; others burned over
were smaller engines used respectively
TO run the fan, the saw and the squeezer
in the puddle mill.
David Thomas, superintendent of the
Reading Iron Works, was interviewed on
Friday. Mr.. Thomas estimates the loss
at nearly 100000 Questioned as to in
surance he replied that that matter is
wholly in the hands of the Reading of
flee and he did not feel prepared to make
a statement. 1t was rumored, however,
among insurance men Friday that
the amount of insurance on the portion
of the mill burned is less than $50, 200.

An adjustable bracelet adapts itself to

ANTIQUE TIMEPIEcES.
The Fascination Thsy Hold For Al
Sorts of People.

Anc KMoy hOIo ALI
Sorts of People.
Ancient clocks and watches seem to
have a singular fascination for all sorts
of people. Philip the Cruel of Spain 10
said to have had more than a thousand
in his famous collection, and the late
George w. Childs Of Philadelphia, who
was as kindly and gentle az the Spanish
monarch was inhuman, was equally de-
voted to the fad. In this city several
curio dealers make a speciality Of ven-
erable timepieces and keep a list Of
those which they can secure from private
owners when the occasion requires.
THE demand for these goods" ssid
one Of these merchants, is of a varied
nature. One type Of customer wants an
old clock to give an air OF dignity or Of
comfort to a hall or sitting room. Moth
ing, in fact, Is sleepier than huge Dutch
hall clock six feet high, which ticks like
a blacksmith beating an anvil and which
rings an old fashioned gong bell. Anoth-
er type enjoys polite deception and i'm
poses a purchase as q time honored heir
loom.
"a third type purchases clocks which
are marked by high beauty and artistic
finish. Some OF the ancient constructions
were made by artists and cannot be sur
passed, if equaled, by those of today.
This is especially true Of those which
came from the workshops of famous
French, Flemish and Italian designers.
Clocks of this class always command high
prices and may be considered works Of
art rather than mere timekeepers. The
fourth type seems to have NO particular
idea in their fad. They want old time
pieces and ask no questions as to their
works, their beauty OF their historical
connection. II q clock Is a century old,
well and good; il it Is two centuries old,
so much the better, and if 1t is three CEN
turies they are beside themselves with de-
light.
'"There are few who purchase watch
es and clocks for historical associations.
or these the number Is much larger than
is usually supposed, and it grows every
day. The greater attention paid to his.
tory and biography has helped the move
ment, as has also the practice of giving
exhibitions and making gifts to museums
and learned societies. New York Post
