Spain now has more trouble on
her hands in an endeavor to sub
jugate wild and woolly king. It
is asserted that the king splits in
the faces of those who oppose him,
curses them, curses his mother
with ell the profanity that it is
possible to command, tells her to
mind her own business and respect
his authority like the rest of his
subjects and has ordered her out
of the house. As nation it serves
them right. If they have no more
sense than to submit to rule
that places a 16-year-old kid in
power they deserve nothing. But
as an act of charity it would be
the proper thing for someone to
suggest to them that they trade
their king off for a dog and then
shoot the dog.

The lottery or policy game that
has been played on King Ed
wards race for life likens him to q
race horse, and there is but little
difference between horse race bet
ting and that INDUCED in by the
English on the kings life, only
in this race large bets we're more
numerous, involving in the aggre-
gate many millions of dollars.
Some of them called it insurance.
However, the kings illness was
q forcible reminder of what mighty.
things result from mere triles. A
tiny sore in vital spot arrested
and staggered a great nation,
caused its influence to be felt in
measure throughout the civilized
world and prevented or deferred
indefinitely the greatest pageant
and most gorgeous display Of
brilliancy, doubtless, that the
world has ever seen. So it is all
through life and on every hand
we see mere trifes resulting in
great things. Trifies change des-
TIMES. Trifes light as air have
changed the bent of many mind
which the world considered great.
We had the pleasure, on the
Fourth of July, of meeting the
genial young man who SO kindly
and generously presented to The
MIRROR its new zheaddress. We
believe every reader of our paper
throughout the land, as we'll as
within these walls would join In d
vote of thanks to Mr.. Thurlby for
thus Kidding The MIRROR of it's
old cut which was so suggestive.

CURED during the past four years

the history of the world. The

ton that didn't coronate, numer-
Gus great wars with tn cir unprece-
denied victories and defeats, dis
asterous volcanic eruptions, great
storms, floods, etc, ETC., have fol
lowed one after another in such
rapid succession that the chroni-
#clers must have been compelled
frequently to work overtime to-
keep up with them.
According to an exchange, when
Daniel Lamont was a reporter for
the Albany Argus he wore clothes,
auburn hair and a red mustache.

The st. Louis lliv0y publishes letter, alleged to
have been written by who knows anent the latest
Hobson sensation. The writer says Captain Hobson
did not rescue any maiden from a watery grave and
that the only foundation for the yarn was the fact
that the captain and young lady went for PRONE
made one hot day in three feet of water. There
never was any danger of drowning, says the writer
hence rescue out of the question. If this
version OF the silly tale is true and the writer arms
he was an eyewitness, it doesn't improve matters
very much, but it more places the news
papers in bad light. It seems to be beyond
dispute that many newspaper writers have two
distinct codes of morals two codes more at variance
with each other than the oosest business man will
confess to. According to their theory verbal lie
is something to be abhorred, but to publish lie is
good business SO long is readable and entertain
ing When newspaper writer makes promise he
usually keeps it, when he an occurrence verbally
is pretty sure to be correct its more minute
details but when he writes a news story or semi
news story he thinks lying is quite legitimate OF
course this does not hold good in respect to all of
those who write for the papers, but it is true of many
OF them and it is dscreditng the profession. It is
the result of yellow journalism, which demands SEN
sation at any price, It is also the result of loose
thinking and is consequently confession of weak
ness.

The people Of New Orleans and
vicinity have been in all kinds of
trouble recently as result of too
many fish. Millions and tens of
millions Of these oviparous animals
have taken possession of rivers
and creeks in southern Louisiana,
blocked steamboats,, paralyzed traf-
fic generally and the stencil of the
dead animals has driven thousands
of people from their homes. The
largest and most troublesome of
the animals are buffalo-fsh, de-
scendants of the qnarupeds that
used to roam the western prairies.
The people of New Orleans have
-resorted to numerous methods to
rid themselves of the terrible on
#slaught of the little animals and
have finally diminished their num-
bers to a considerable extent by
shipping hundreds of barge and
tug-loads to points along the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts. One train
load of $50 tank cars, drawn by
seven engines, was shipped to New
York, but while crossing the James
river bridge at Richmond, Virginia,
the weight of engines caused the
bridge to give way and the grade
there being on a decline every car
went into the river and the fish
swan away.
In recent issue of The MIRROR
j. Fl. D. asks for an explanation
of the mysterious appearance Of a

terious actions himself9
Commenting on a cold-air stove
which has been invented by Pro-
fessor Moore, who is chief Of the
weather bureau, the Saturday
Evening Post says, editorially:
ut is predicted that the time is
approaching when the wheat fields
of the world will be fertilized by
nitrates produced directly from
the atmosphere. But to fertilize
the wheat fields of the world is
going to take a prodigious quantity
of air. Where is the air coming
from? Is nature turning out air
all the time, or was the world at
the start provided with its air
stock and do we breathe the same
air made use of by Adam, with a
slight loss of Eden flavor and q
touch of soft coal smoke? If the
last is true some genius must soon
invent an air-making process, and
air-plants will have to be set up
here and there. The time may
even come when we shall get ourj
air from the corner grocery, put up
in convenient parcels. But, if the
wheat cropis trebled by the air
drawn fertilizers, bread will be
cheap and we can afford to buy
air. Think, however, of the pos
sibility of an antitrust or strike
at the air-works. "

NOTES OF THE MODES.
The Light and Airy Materials for
Gowns Are to Be Popular Again
for Summer.


Such very smart frocks, formed of
light transparent fabrics, as have al
ready been sent to America as models
Tor SKINNER wear give promise of
season of very picturesque and dainty
gowning. 1t has become more and
more the fashion to wear diaphanous
and ciinging materials, and conse-
quently for two years past the manu-
facturers have We'd with each other
in producing the most attractive and
beautiful designs, both in delicate silks
and fine sheer cottons of every descrip-
ton. Among the former are this sea"
son shown at the importing houses
dainty printed Shanghai charmeuse
and satin foulards, Pekins in tri-color
effects, fancy midas, and mercerized
crepes, handpainted crepe brooches in
light weight and gauzes and silk mus
Inns in finely watered and lowered eff
fects, with other more expensive nov
elites for bridesmaids and debutantes'
dresses. Flowered muslins-in fact,
all figured textiles-will be more fash
ionable than they were last summer;
they require much less trimming than
the unpatterned silks and muslins,
frills and fiounces Of the dress mate
rial being used on the skirt and bodice,
with only small quantity of lace or
insertion on the latter, says the New
York Post.
Piques are shown this season in a
greater variety of effects than ever,
including the so-called robe patterns,
which bid fair to have a summer of I'M
exampled popularity A stylish model
of soft pale blue pique has embroid-
cred figures in white. The skirt cut in
panels shows round the foot an under
skirt of finely tucked, plain blue pique.
The sailor collar of the same is edged
with band of the white embroidery,
also the vest and lower part of the
sleeves.
The newest of the pique gowns are,
however, somewhat exaggerated in
their simplicity. The skirts, short
enough to clear the ground by two
inches, are absolutely plain, very close
ly fitted, and with only flare enough
around the foot to prevent them from
looking skimpy. The coat reaches
quite to the knees, is tight fitting at
the back, but with semiloose fronts.
Sometimes the white or black and
white pique costume is finished with
a medium-length box coat. A touch of
color is given by the silk blouse vest,
and matching stockings, worn with
smart little French shoes or shiny

tinue to form large portion Of the
most elegant gowns of fashion this
season, and they are elected for by the
youthful as we'll as the more matronly
women of varied ages. A striking
gown recently worn at an afternoon
musicale in this. city was Of black
peau de sole, with wide full
vest of white satin and notched and
pointed reyers. The belt and collar
were of the satin, decorated with black
French knots and silver spangles. An
other gown Of black velvet had a
blouse vest Of cream lace, a fall of
white lace on each side of the jacket
giving the effect of draped revers.
There were slashed puffs at the top
and elbow Of the close coat sleeves,
with puffings showing between formed
of lace laid over white satin.
For the taffetas, crepes de chine and
other soft, light fabrics that are so
much used for dressy spring gowns, a
p1incesse effect is almost necessity
for the matron who wishes to be really
smart. These gowns are long and
sweeping. Some of them have a prin-
cesse back, made Of side plaits running
from the top to the bottom OF the
skirt, the plaits faring toward the hem
to form the fullness of the skirt. The
fronts finish at the belt to form a
blouse and bolero effect, and all sorts
of fancy embroideries, basket braids,
or ribbons are used to trim them.

II Was a Dream.

When a certain divine was younger
man and chaplain at the University
OF Pennsylvania. like other ministers
who filed that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack Of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
Of the students were in the habit Of
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their hardness Of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was desirous of
breaking up the habit. so one morning
preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
Young gentlemen, last night l
dreamed I was here in the chapel ad-
dressing you. And as spoke saw
every eye fixed upon me. every man
attentive. while in all the chapel there
vas not book opened. and then
knew it was q dream
