A SON OF TIE KING.

He stood in the palace court yard. straight
as poplar and fair
AS the golden glow of the sunlight that
shone on the marble there.
His head tossed proudly backward, his
eyes with anger blazed,
One hand on his horses bride and one
with the whip appraised
With look Of proud disdaining he saw at
his feet crouched low
An old and fear-struck beggar, bent to
avoid the blow
Burning with angry passion, the princes
voice rang free:
How Games thou here in the court yard,
where beggars may not be?
Had q servant found thee kneeIiug here
in my horses way,
Right sorely would Jogging have made
thee rue the day!
Some guardsman must have nodded, that
thou within shouId'st slip:
The guard shall rue MS folly, and thou
shalt taste the whipi"
Trembling and painting with terror. the
old man raised his head:
Yea. strike your blow" he murmured,
What matter If I be dead?
Gone is the Kingdoms glory if thou canst
do this thing.
Thou, the prince of tl,e people! Thou, the
son Of the kingl"
His whip stin poised above him, the rage
still in his face
The prince stood still moment, then
stepped him back pace
One moment. and the anger within his
eyes died out
Across his face there ficl1ered q CLEAN OF
sudden doubt;
The whip fell from his fingers, the prince
bowed low his head,
He raised upright the aged form, in
humble accents said:
well RAY the kingdom trernbIe when I
forget and bring
Dishonor on my knighthood and my royal
sire, the king.
q This well that thou. the humbIest, TO
me this lesson bring
dare not be ignobIe, am the son Of the
king.
ALAS. that I be not worthy Of this my
royal stated
That on me should rest the future Of
kingdom rich and great.
but, list. from this day forward I viii
heed the lesson taught;
| The king shall know the message By his
poorest subject brought
Take thou this golden token Thou hast
earned the coin full well
Please God. for this my every year a
fairer tale shall tell"
Long. long ago the palace with age was
darkened gray.
And long the prince and beggar have slept
the years away.
To US the message cometh. still true and
wondrous clear,
I And stronger grows and sweeter, as year
succeedeth year.
We dare no. be ignobIe. We must be true
/ and great!
We dare not be unworthy of our royal,
high estate.
! No royal garb of purple is fair as strength
! and youth
No marble court yard fafrer than the
/ court yard CT the truth!
/ Guard, guard Ger word and action, lest ye
forget and bring
/ Dishonor on your knighthood, on your
royal sire, the king.
/ For know ye not your station? Then ask
/ each living thing.
/ And hear, --Ye are Gods children. the
children OF the KingI"

THE WONDERFUL MAGIC MIRROR
MADE BY THE ORIENTALS

cuIar, and the thinnest of them was found
to be slightly magic
To try the properties of a mirror of
this sort sHnbsam IS reflected from the
polished su, face to Il white cardboard
about three feet distant But TO obtain
the very best effects the mirror must be
Illuminated 9th a diyerging pencil Of
light; this pencil is made still further di-
vergent by reflection from the mirror. be-
cause its reflection surface is convex. The
reflected rays can now be received OF. q
screen at a greater distance. and the
magnified image of the crnamentation on
the back Of the mirror can be distinctly
seen. These raised designs appear on the
screen in white on l dark ground The
image thus made by the mirror is con-
fused il the latter is not of peculiar
make, when it is sharply defined
Magicians know now how to improve the
powers of one of these japanese mirrors
The method emPIo. &c for this purpose is
a consequence of the true theory Of magic
mirrors. The theory was not reached at
once. The indistinct images Of an i'm
perfect mirror become sharply defined
when the back of the mirror is heated
with gas lamp >raea the effects become
very magic. Whee letters are engraved
on the back of littie rectangular japanese
mirrors. and heat applied to them, the
letters appear in black in the reflected i'm
age. 1t has thus been found that heat is
very eficaeious in rendering mirrors
magical. but It is not without its ineon-
veniences. First of all, it Injuries the
mirrors by causing them to lose their
polish. BY means Of a special apparatus
this drawback has been overcome and
Japanese magic mirrors can now be
bought which viii furnish most amusing
aud wonderful results.

IT. HE modern stage magician depends
upon mirrors for some Of his most
I astonishing effects The magic
mirror. like many a mystic marvel,
comes from the East. The Chinese and
japanese in bygone times were acquainted
with metallic mirrors only; and even to-
day they make only these. They are made
Of spectrum metal, Of various forms and
sizes, but always portable One of the
faces is polished and always slightly con-
vez, so that its reflection gives images
which are reduced il size; the other face
is plane or slightly concave, and always
has cast on it ornaments which are In re-
lief. Among the maLy mirrors thus con-
structed there are a few which possess a
wonderful property When beam of the
suns light falls upon the polished surface
and is reflected on white screen We see
in the Cisc of light thus formed the i'm
age or the ornamentation which is upon
tne back Of the mirror. The Chinese have
long known of these mirrors and value
them highly; they call them by a name
which signifies mirrors which are pene-
trated by light" IN the West they are
known 10 the initiated as magic mir
rors"
Very few persons had seen magic mir
rors till Mr.. Ayrton, professor of the Poly
technic School at Yeddo. exhibited several
which he had brought with him from ia
pan. certain NJ. Dybowski returned
from Japan to Paris. having with him as
objects of curiosity four temple mir
rers;'' that is to say, antique mirrors;
these are far superior to those of modern
make. but their manufacture has been
nearly abandoned by reason Of the intro
duction of the silvered mirrors of Europe

COAL WILL CLIMB
NO HIGHER HERE
This is the Opinion of Mr.. H. s.
Halves 1t is Now $40 a
Ton-The Situation.

Anthracite coal is now on the Rich
uiond market for $40 a ton-not a cent
less. This was the price agreed upon by
the coal dealers OF the city at meeting
held yesterday morning. Here is a con-
versation which took place yesterday af-
ternoon between Mr.. S. H. Halves, Of
the wood and coal house OF S. H. Halves,
and writer for The Times, which may
throw some light on the vexing situation:
Newspaper man: MIR. Halves. what
did the coal dealers decide upon this
nornins?"
Mr. Halves: What did you hear that
they did?"
THAT the price of anthracite coal would
be SO for the present. was the reply.
THAT is right" said Mr.. Halves
will that price hold until any partic-
ular tine?" was asked next.
NO" was the answer. But I think
it has reached its limit now and Will not
go any higher"
Mr.. Halves continued: 7 hear that
coal is SIS in Philadelphia. $40 In New
York and SIS in Boston. and none there
at any price"
well, Mr.. Halves, why is there such
a difference between the price in coal at
the North and here?" queried the news
paper man.
1T is because the dealers do not wish
to gouge the public as the New YORK
dealers are doing he replied.
What is the price of soft coal now,
bituminous and splint?" was asked.
Seven dollars" said Mr.. Halves.
Can the bituminous coal be suosu-
tuted for anthrac ite?" was the next ques-
ton which claimed the coal merchants
attention.
ut can take the place of anthracite
for-cooking. but not for heating resi-
dences by furnace or latrobe." said he
How is the supply of wood for Rich-
mond?" asked the newspaper man.
Mr.. Halves replied. Il think there IS
more wood in Richmond than most peo-
pie Aelieve. Wood has naturally gone up
because of the scarcity OF COAL He did
not think there would be a WOO famine
Mr.. HAYES had heard nothing from the
coal regions to indicate to him that the
strike would soon be over
He was asked if he could give an Idea
of the amount Of coal here. He said he
could not. When 1900 tons was suS-
gested he replied that he could not say
whether there was more or less here.

ARSENALS AT STATIONS
Police to Be Supplied With Winchesters
for Use in Emerrencies

The imrinence Of a serious conflict be-
tween the police force and would-be
lynchers early Sunday morning, will like
ly result in the placing Of a dozen or
more Winchester rifles In each police sta
ton In the city.
At the next meeting Of the Police Board
one of the members will bring to the
attention of his fellows the necessity of
such a course.
The police on Sunday morning were
armed only with revolvers. and had
determined effort been made by the large
crowd to storm the Jail. it is probable
that it would have been successful. The
commissioners thinks that if the police
had Winchester rifles handy. they could
resist an attack, even though they were
greatly outnumbercd.
