The King and the Reporter.

King Alfonso of Spain has been say
ing to a Spanish newspaper what he
thinks about the press. Gould any
thing be more modern than king
descended from an ancient line OF
monarchs conserving to an interview
with a reporter? This is the way the
young ruler delivers himself, or the
way London M. A. p. translates him:
The truly impartial periodical, which
applauds with enthusiasm all that is
good and censures with energy all
that is evil, will ever merit the sim
cere esteem of those who prefer the
interests of the nation at large to any
other consideration.
To reflect the state of opinion and
to become the echo Of it's needs with
out it's prejudices, and with serenity
of mind to sacrifice the secondary end
to the common good is a most beauti-
full ideal, and one that falls perfectly
within the scope of the mission Of the
press.
l read the newspapers with interest,
and take especial delight in those
which, like Die Woche, for instance,
keep their readers informed Of the
advances made in science and indus
try. 1 think that it is eXpedient, even
necessary that the current daily mar
rative of events in the world, which
excite public curiosity, and at times
anxiety, should be associated with art,
which delights as well as instructs,
and with science, whose discoveries
should be popularized, especially those
that affect industry, SO that all who
need instruction may have what is
useful side by side with what is recre-
alive.

Naming the House.

The custom of naming a ship when
it is launched with the breaking Of
bottle Of wine on the PROV is SUR
vival Of an ancient practice which had
many forms. In early times, when
the frame Of a house was raised, the
bottle of wine was broken on the
ridge-pole. The usage is mentioned in
McLellan's History \of Gorham,
Maine"
It was the custom at a raising to
break a bottle Of spirit on the ridge
pole, and to repeat some rimes, NAM
ing the frame,"as it was called. When,
in 1880, Jacob H. Clement, Of West
Gorham, raised a stable, John Phin-
ney, an old Revolutionary soldier, who
was present, repeated the following
lines. which he said were used in
naming the frame of Captain John
Stepnenson's house and barn, which
were raised about 1775:
FOR THE HOUSE FRAME.
Cursed is the tory's heart
Which from the Congress laws depart,
If the laws they do not fear
/ hope they will not prosper here,
And if the laws they do obey
1 hope they will prosper in corn and
hay.
