QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.

crees to which her hand and seal will ever be affixed as regent of Spain.
 When the queen regent withdrew her pen from the parchment conferring the order of the Golden Fleece upon the Duke of Cumberland, her majesty's $ eyes were moist. Her regency really terminated at this time although until the king takes the oath i'll the presence of the combined chambers May IT his mother remains officially the queen re- gent.
 It was a pathetic scene when the ministers were ushered into the queen regents cabinet. She received them with the young king at her side. Pre- mier Sagasta in an eloquent address Of leave taking delivered in behalf of him. self and his colleagues recalled the day when the queen regent, fresh from the grief of her widowhood, honored him with her confidence, although she scarcely knew .him. He compared that day to this. when the young king, with his devoted mother at his side, was about to enter upon and exercise his constitutional prerogative. T was prime minister then, and I am prime minister now" said Senor SagaSta. ssDuring the almost seventeen interven- ing years,' continued the speaker, ''the noble queen regent has been a slave to duty. She has sacrificed her youth to the jealous guardianship of her chill dren. She has suffered much, but her majesty finds compensation today in the happiness Of the king"
 Turning to the king, Senor Sagasta compared the difficulties which con fronteG him today with the situation at the death of the late king, his father. ..,The present difficulties" said the pre- mier, .'are not insurmountable. Spain has not progressed as much as might be desired, still she has made Substan- tial progress. Peace and tranquility have been secured the era of military pronunciamentos is past, and the at tention Of the people is centered in ed ucation and labor.'
 Premier SagaSta said also that he hoped the new reign would be preg- nant with greater achievements and greater blessings to the nation than the preceding reign had been.
 The queen regent listened to Senor Sagasta with increasing emotion. Finally, with tears running down her cheeks, she responded and thanked the premier for his words.

BIRD INTELLIGENCE.

During high wind one summer day a young oriole was thrown from its nest to the ground. It was picked up by kind hands and kept in the house till the storm was over and then plac- ed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the closed blinds of a window near by to note proceedings on the part of the parent birds. They in the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed It to the house, and as it was kept near the op- en window, its cries had apprised them of it's whereabouts. They soon came to 1t on the roof and lowered about it, doing much talking and con- sulting together.
 Finally they a1ighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under 1t and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, who fidgeted about coming to the little one spreading his wings over it, then fly ing to tree, when the female follow ed him and brought him back and again slipped a wing under the little one.
 Finally he seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and. slipping his own wing under, together they made sort of cradle for the birding, and each Tapping its free wing, they flew to the tree, bearing it to place of safety among the branch es, where it was lost sight of.-Boston Christian Register

A woman who has had experience with this disease tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Cham ber1ain's Cough Remedy they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other chil- dren whose parents did not use this remedy.

FRANCE NEEDS NAPOLEON V.
Grandson of King Jerome Named After Napoleon ". May Xet
 Mount the Throne.

That is just what France needs. She lacks man. On that point the aristos, the unwashed, and the middle class are for once in unison. They all want a pro-consul who shall demolish the linn tied liability company that runs the state, writes Edgar Saltus, in the Smart Set.
 In the expression of that want Is real Parisian gayety. In it, too, is the hum of the bees. Whoever is able to recall both will have to come enveloped in glamour, astride prancing steed The only one competent to execute any such feat of haute ecole is Louis Na- poleon-Napoleon Y.
 The grandson of King Jerome; trained in the fine school of tho Cacucasus; living on terms of agree able yet not oppressive intimacy with the ear; capable of getting boost from Italy, from whose reigning house his mother came, and into which his sister was married; capable, too, of boost from the kaiser. whose grand father thrashed his uncle out of his boots, and who in consequence takes naturally a lively interest in him-here is a star that every self-respecting po- 1itical meteorological can discern rising in the dreary sky of France.

A CIGAR DID THE TRICK.
The Triae That Secured Govern ment Official His Appointment,
 and Changed His Whole Life.


 'sIt is the small aings which control our present actions and ultimate des- tinies very often," remarked chief clerk of one of the executive depart. nents, according to the Washington Star.
 "A ten-cent cigar changed my whole course in life, when the friendship of senators and representative in con. gress and their efforts were without value.
 T had been trying for the place sought with that alternate hope and fear which besets all who want 9 posi- tion under the government, and who believe one day they have it and the next they have it not. My funds were running short, my principal opponent seemed to have the inside track, and had about agreed that I had no chance.
 ''One evening as l was wandering aimlessly around in the northwest waiting and hoping for the results o5 tomorrow, as 1 had resolved to go out of town on that day unless received the position, l stepped into one of ou. big hotels and bought a ten-cent cigar As l was lighting it, an influential friend who had been heretofore in. different to my cause approached me in the lobby, saying:
 s'I am going to get you that P I thought you had left town T!. .1 man (meaning the secretary of se department in which I had hope. % enter) is upstairs. Stay here; fer .s sonal reasons I shall block the app t. ment of the other fellow. His se has done me dirt; just wait. l ws-- back in five minutes.'
 Tt is superhuoas to say that ] waited and that my hand was trife shaky as l let go of the swinging gas jet with which l had lighted my cigar. My heretofore lukewarm friend re turned to the office in a few minutes and with him 1 ascended to the pres ence of the big chief. The big chief said that he was glad to meet me, had heard all about me; that l was just the man whose peculiar aptitude made me fitted for the place in which he in. tended to install me, etc, but l knew in my own heart that if l hadn't stopped to buy that cigar, and if the senator backing my opponent hadn't done my influential friend dirt the big chief would never have discovered. those remarlSable' qualities of mine.
 Now for the sequel, as this is a true story: My opponent, becoming dis gusted, went to New York, entered the practice of law, married a wealthy woman, and makes to-day thousands where I make hundreds of dollars. And thp ol1pS ion rar,,a;nS v-c,,ld 4o day have been better off If I had bought that cigar elsewhere and left town the next aay:'

MADRID, May 13. = The brilliant weather encouraged the crowds to pour out into the streets of the city yester- day, and every thoroughfare was filled with merrymakers who were apparent ly in the happiest humor.
 The appearance of the streets was in strong contrast to the scene which at the same time was being enacted with in the palace. Here the festivity gave place to a drama. The queen regent of Spain was sorrowfully taking leave of her ministers and practically relin- quishing to the hands of her son the solemn charge which she has so faith fully fulfilled for the past sixteen and q half years.
 Premier Sagasta and his colleagues proceeded to the palace at II o'clock in the morning for formal leave taking of the queen regent and to present for her majesty's signature the last de

Cannfba1 Trout

Trout are cannibals, and it is a moot question whether in some waters large trout should not be systematic ally destroyed. Many Dartmoor fish erfnen are in favor of killing them. They say that fish in their streams of one pound to two pound weight are hardly ever caught by ordinary means, and live entirely on their own breth- ren. A two-pound Devon trout is probably responsible for the death of several stones weight of his own kind. --London Nature Notes.
