Spain's King a Hnmorist.

SPANS youthful king is still, 1t
seems, very much of a boy, at least IN
spirit. He is apparently too closely
welded to his bubble" to care to con-
sider seriously any other sort of mar
rage, while authentic report has 1t
that every once in awhile he drops
unexpectedly into the unconventional
in a way productive of much embar-
rassment to his encourage.
His latest prank was played In the
great cathedral at Leon, to which MS
majesty paid an unofficial visit recent
ly. He had gone into the organ loft
for Alfonso's education has made of
him an organist of ability as well as
a fluent linguist-and had begun to
play a chant when, with no warning
whatever, he switched off into a sharp
military march, at the same time call
ing out in a loud voice:
"'Tention! Quick step! march,"
Priests and suite were for the in
slant too surprised to do anything but
gasp, and the next minute there were
the solemn strains of the chant again,
with the hearty laughter Of the king
heard beneath them.

Arlington National Cemetery has
three gateways of rare distinction and
architectural beauty, though few of
even Washington's residents are ac-
quainted with this fact. Visitors sell
don enter or leave the majestic place
through these portals. The reason for
this is hat Arlington has changed
front, or that circumstance has
changed its front. The great public
surges in and out Of Arlington through
what was the back gate. This Is now
called the main west gate, and 1t is a
commonplace double gate of ornate
iron rods and spears, glittered over

Plain Clothing; No Fril1s.

In the wardrobe of n German baby
there are no dainty little dresses with
frills and laces and blue ribboned pet
ticoats and rufllcs and furbelows. 1t
has, in place of these, an ample supply
of little chemises, merino undershirrs,
and diapers, while for a dress, a two
yard square of white flannel serves.
A case is recounted of one proud
American mother who exhibited with
maternal delight the dainty things she
had brought over for the expected baby.
She was much shocked and shurt to see
them all brushed ruthlessly aside-all
but the shirts-and further to see all
the lovely baby coats, with their fine
embroidery, heartlessly ripped from the
waists. The other things, she was ad-
vised, would not be needed for three

his back for his bottle, and must not
be moved for II hour after. He is
not expected to be a %soundless baby.
In fact, he is, as it were, if necessary,
made to cry for n portion of the twenty
four hours. The German nurse makes
him entirely comfortable and then
leaves him entirely alone. In a short
time he shows signs of fmpatience and
sets up a lusty wall, thus giving his
lungs the needed exercise. There is lit
tie difference between the American
method of feeding bottle ba-
bies, steriliZed milk being used.

MORE NATURAL METHODS EN-

Early Months of a German Baby's
Life are Very Quiet and Simple
Fancy Baby Clothes Tabooed.

The mother of a large family of
American children CHANGED to be living
abroad when the last baby was born,
and she has since often times said that
she wished all of her children had been
born in Germany.
The last little girl, during its first
three months of existence, in charge of
n native German nurse, was not only
more comfortable, but better cared for
in every way than the other children
who were born in America. The little
girl was brought up by the native Ger
man method, and this means, in the
first place, that the German baby is
treated scientifically. Nor does this
signify by the rules of n recently ac-
quired experimental science. the result
of attending a series of mothers con-
crosses, but a science which is the in
heritance Of the race.

The present yield of gold is double
what it was ten years ago, now
amounting to a million dollars n day.
Within the next ten years it bids fair
to double again. This advance in the
last decade is largely due to the in
vention of the cyanide process. Out

THE III A SPECIFIC.
Obviates Need of Doctors and Drugs.
Should be Used Without Sugar.

Drink expert Warman recommends
the drinking of lemon water. Lemon
water, without sugar, he believes, is
of great medicinal value. 1t makes
a beverage that will cool the blood,
clear the brain, remove biliousness,
clear the complexion, and save the
expenditure of money for drugs and
doctor bills and a few other things
a health drink that can not be dis
counted.
But do not use sugar with the
lemon, 1t n~eutralizes the effect that
would otherwise be produced. Con-
slider, for a moment, he says, a few OF
the uses of the lemon.
In the morning, half an hour or more
before breakfast, take the Juice Of half
a lemon in a glass of cold water. 1t
will clear the system of humor and
bile without any of the effects of
ealomel, congress water, or any
drastic drug. But the benefit is more
than doubled by repeating this just
before retiring. This is a much safer
way to get the better of a bilious con-
dition than resorting to quinine or
blue pills.
Do not irritate the stomach by tax
ing the lemon clear. The powerful
acid Of the juice, when taken alone,
Is Away most corrosive and 1nVari-
ably produces Inflammation, If long
continued, but when properly diluted
so that it does not harm or draw the
throat, it does its medical work. and
when the stomach Is clear OF food 1t
has abundant opportunity to work
through the system thoroughly.
Not only is the drink of lemon
water an excellent liver corrective,
but, ff taken in hot water instead of
cold, 1t will prove q very eihcacious
anti-fat remedy.
1t Is better than any drug or COM
plexion powder for giving permanent
c~learness and beauty to the skin.
A t~easpoonful of lemon juice In a
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache.
Two or three slices of lemon in a
cup Of strong tea will cure a nervous
headache.
Lemon juice has also been used in
Germany, with marked effect, in cases
of rheumatism, especially articular
rheumatism.

Tales of Diplomatic and Court In
trigue.

When Edward was simply Prince of
Wales, he owed Poole, the London
tailor, at times as much a 100000,
and even suffered the tailor to address
him in public places without fear of
the Tower. There are several dis
tinguished Pooles in England but none
so famous as Tailor Poole. One day
at Ascot, Poole, lowering near the
Princes person and seeking to be
agreeable, remarked, sweeping his
hand over the assemblage: "Your Roy

Quietude for Three Months.

The first three months of the Ger
man baby's life is very quiet. lie is
allowed to grow and is handled as little
as possible. After this, if he is strong
enough, he is dressed, and his treat
ment then depends upon the family in
TO which he is fortunate enough, or
possibly unfortunate enough, to have
been born.

The Dressing Table.

For the German baby's bath his little
tub is filed with tepid water and he
lies entirely immersed, only his little
face above the surface, his back and
head supported on the nurses arm.
Then he is rolled and patted dry in his
towels in the usual way, after which he
is dressed, not OF the nurses knee, but
on the "Wickeltisch,' or %swaddling TIA
BILE, n conveniently high commode with
top slightly slanting, before which the
nurse stands. If this is not available,
an ordinary table is always used.
First, the batiste chemise is put on,
and then the merino shirt, both fas-
tened in the back by strings. Then
the diaper, and then from under
the arms the baby is simply swaddled
in his blanket, which is turned up at
the bottom and pinned together like a
meal sack.
If the youngster inclines to curl his
legs or to lie with his knees curved,
they are tightly b%andaged with n broad
linen band. Cruel, you say? 1t seems
so, perhaps, but the babies do not ap-
pear to mind. Your German nurse
never uses talcum powder unless 1t is
absolutely necessary.

that among them there il a genera
decision TO reduce cotton.
Mr.. White made it hot for tn,
man who says he will not reduc,
because if everybody else does cot
ton will bring a good price. He
says that man is helping his enem-
les to tie n load around his own
neck, and is deserving his friends.
He is liable to find that his sort is
in the majority, and that bumper
crop will be raised, and then while
he is struggling with big crop OF
cotton to sell at less than the cos,
of production, the man who re.
duced his acreage of cotton and
raised the principal necessaries
of life at home will be independ-
ent. Not only the necessaries of
life can be raised by our farmers,
but some produce besides cotton
can be raised to sell and bring in
money.
Mr.. Whites talk was highly APP
preciated because it was full of good
common sense.
Messrs. /. NJ. Cook and Mark
Wilcox made talks along the same
line that went to the spot. Mr..
Wilcox said that for years he has
been encouraging his tenants to
raise the necsssaries of life in the
way Of feed stufls, their own meat,
etc., and they are in good condition
to reduce acreage, because they do
not have TO mortgage a cotton crop
for supplies.
As a result of the information
gained at this meeting, it, is safe
to predict that there will be ma.
terial reduction of cotton planted
in this county this year. Gentle
men present from the Brazos bot
tom, and others who have talked
with bottom planters reported that
even there considerable reduction
Of acreage in cotton will be made
this year.
The matter of raising the ex-
pense money Of the delegates to the
New Orleans convention was taken
up, and the two newspapers were
requested to raise the money by
starting a subscription fund and
calling for contributions.
