Another Castle for Haakon.

Another castle TOR HaaKon.
Norway's coronation gift to King
Haakon and Queen Maud will be a
hunting castle. The gift has been de-
cided upon after very general dis
cussion in which many suggestions
were made. The location has not
been determined upon, but will doubt
less be left to the wishes of the king.
The castle will be in Morse style and
will be decorated by Norwegian ar.
lists. AS the commandments house at
Haakonshallen in Bergen, and "Stifts.
garden" in Trondhjem, are being fur.
nished and remodeled as royal resi-
dences, King Haakon will hardly suf-
fer for lack of shelter during his
reign.

En- route to Denver Saturday after
noon we encountered a heavy snow
storm on The Divide. As moving
smoothly and swiftly northward the
Santa Fe train passed a couple in an
open buggy facing the driving snow
and rain, and hirrying as fast as pos
siblc to shelter. The contrasted con-
ditions for comfort were largely in
favor OF the occupants of the coach.
yet we weary OF railway travel and
demand yet faster trains. So accus-
toned are the people to the everyday
convenicnces OF travel that we are
apt to forget the luxurics We are en-
joying in this good year OF 1906.

The largest Described Snake.

Spoke. in his narrative of the journey to the source of the Nile, describes the largest snake that has ever been seen by man. "I shuddered," he says, ''as I looked upon the effects of his tre- mendous dying strength. For yards around where he lay grass, bushes and saplings-In fact. everything except full grown trees-were cut clean off as if they had been trimmed with an i'm mense scythe. The monster when measured was 51 feet and 21a inches tn extreme length, while around the thickest portions of it's body the girth was nearly three feet"

SPEED OF INSECTS.
4 Common House Fly Travels Mile
 In Thirty-three Seconds.

1t is the popular belief that the flight of the birds is much swifter than that of the insects, but a number of natural ists who have been making a study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 \ common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight but it's wings make 800 beats a second and send it through the air twenty-five feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed by over 160 feet per second. If it could continue such rapid flight for mile in q straight line, it would cover that dis tance in exactly thirty-three. seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing when travelling by rail in the summer time to see a Lee or wasp keeping up with the 1rain and trying to get i'll at one of the windows \ swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was formerly thought that no insect could escape it.
 \ naturG list, however, told of an eX- citing chase he saw between a swallow and a dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed and wheeled and lodged with such ease that the swal- low, despite it's utmost efforts, con- pletely failed to overtake it.

The Water Pitcher.

The following simple method of keep ing ice water in a common pitcher is worth knowing: Put layer of cotton batting between two sheets of wrap ping paper three inches higher than the pitcher. Fasten the ends of the paper and batting together, forming circle. Paste a cover over one end of the batting and paper This cover, when over pitcher, must come close to the stand and so exclude the air, and ice will keep a long time. This paper cover will be found of great service in a sickroom for both milk and water pitchers.

Where the Lady Was Going.

An official of a New England roao told the following:
 The ticket agents in the Boston office of our road are greatly troubled by patrons who, when wishing to pur- chase tickets, lay down a coin and neither tell where they are going nor how many tickets they want This ne cessitates one or more questions on the part of the patient agent. One day a little elderly lady approached the win dow of the office, placing a large fami- V umbrella on the slab, and, after fumbling nervously in her pocketbook, pulled out a quarter and laid it down without word to the ticket seller.
 Where are you going, madam?" ask cd the ticket agent.
 "Oh, Pm going to the doctor" was the tremulous reply.

Matrimnnx and Patience

Matrimony and patience! It is not always a perfect combination, is it? In South Africa the savage tribes have a peculiar ceremony which they put the matrimonial candidate through pre- vious to his entering the holy state. His hands are tied up in a bag con- taining five ants for two hours. If he bears unmOved the tortures of their stings he is considered qualified to cope with the nagging and daily jar and fret of married life. Such a man would make an admirable husband. He would not be upset by the thoughts of 6 spring bonnet or grow irritable every dime the steak was Overdone The idea of having a patience trial for those about to marry is one that civilized peo- pie might adopt.

Lincoln and the Old virginian.

Washington was a strong man and famous wrestler. He was never thrown, which meant much, for wres- tling was a favorite amusement with Virginians, many of whom were as nearly invincible as the ancient Greeks. Lincoln. too, could boast classic excel fence in the same sport. Tt is curi- ous thing" Lincoln said, when Wash ington's prowess was first brought to bis attentiOn-''it is a curious thing, but that is just precisely my record when 1 was a youth. I could outfit any man in Illinois, and I never was thrown. If George was round now, I should be pleased to have a tussle with him, and 1 rather believe that one of the plain people of Illinois would be able to keep up his end against the old Virginian"

"Well, profess or" replied the other, eff such a thing had happened before I came here Pm afraid 1 would have said plainly that I didn't know, but now I think I'd do just as you do and say, Look it up, any boy; look it upr"

SUPERFICIAL SENTIMENT.
Secret of Power Lies In Intensity of
 Emotion.


 Superficial sentiment is without vital influence. The secret of power lies in the intensity of emotion, but especially so in poetry, art and literature. By no hocuS pocuS can artists and writers adequately depict what they do not feel. There should be thermometer or temperament as we'll as for temper ature. Feeling and emotion have their degrees. We are serene when our feel. Tgs are in the temperate zone, indig- nant when we pass eighty three, furi- ouS when we reach blood heat, mad at boiling point. When feeling falls be- low 50 we become indifferent, and when it reaches freezing point we are heartlesS. An emotion that does not attain the seventy-siXth degree is hard ly worth recording. At summer heat the rarest flowers begin to bloom and nature becomes poetic. While the tenn. perate is the proper sphere for pure reason and scientific observation, it Is rarely, if ever, proper for the highest achievement in any art In the world of art imagination and feeling are not content with a serenity that touches the borders of indifference. The crea- tive instinct is never effective unless at a certain pitch of enthusiasm. It is the sharp, clear, brilliant current of thought that electrifes the brain. But An idea is worthless unless we can find a form to hold it. In the best work idea, form and feeling appear to the beholder as one An electric bolt seems a cold thing, yet a stroke of lightning will consume more at one flash than an ordinary fire would consume in an hour.-FranciS Grierson in Critic.

Onions are almost the best nervine known. No medicine is so useful in cases of nervous prostration. and there is nothing else that will so quickly re- ueve and tone wornout system. On ions are useful in all cases of coughs, colds and influenza, in consumption, insomnia, hydrophobia, scurvy, gravel and kindred liver complaints.
