Features Not ROYAL.

The features of the youthful princess
are not In the least royal She re-
sembles no relative on either side that
I can think of. One might fancy her too
lovable in her childish way for long life
in this dreadful world of ours. This i'm
preston she gave in Alsaee. where she
had only to appear to become at once
popular. She wore white wooden frocl
and a pink silk hat and white plume.
The broad brim, too violently curved,
perhaps for childish simplicity, did not
hide the mignonne visage and the golden
hair that framed 1t. The emperor had his
favorite charger Grand Duke" brought to
Strasburg and Metz. Whenever he had
occasion TO bestride Grand Duke" he
mounted to the saddle by a step ladder

forty-six one no longer puts a foot into
the stirrup standing on the ground and

It was remarked that a shade of an
noyance passed over the kaiser's counten-
ance at his arrival at the Metz railway
terminus from A1aee. He had noticed the
absence of Bishop Benzler, whom he had
with the concurrence of the late Pope,
drawn from the silence and seclusion of
the Benadictlne monastery of Laage in
Alace to place at the head of the see
at Metz. The ruffled sovereign said
something to Prince Hohenlohe, and at
once an aid-de-camp was dispatched to
the episcopal palace, but did not at once
find Monsignor Bender there. When
the latter returned, there was barely
time to make ready the state landau and
reach the terminus a few moments before
the emperor rode up. The storm was
averted by the Bishop stating that he
had just been taking steps to remove an
interdict from the Fameck cemetery.

The modern whippet is a greyhound
crossed with a small terrier, SO as to re-
duce the size of the progeny, and by Sc
lection the terrier type has been oblit-
Grated and that of the greyhound pre-
served. This cross goes back sixty years
or more, during which time a record of
some sort has been kept, so that a stud
book exists. But the dog has not been
popular In shows because. being bred to
race. its appearance Is of little conse-

There is nothing curious about dog rae
ing and, although It Is not known among
wealthy sportmen, 1t is a popular past

In England as many as 800 dogs are en-
tered in one handicap and a thousand
pounds will change hands on the result.
The course is usually two hundred
yards. and the races are run in heats
in which three dogs compete. The win
ners of these trial heats run against each
other until there are but three left for
the final. There are races for puppies.
