King AIfonso's Home Life.

There are rarely any guests at the
palace of the king of Spain, says
Vance Thompson. Those at table
are the king and queen, the
queen-mother, perhaps one or two of
the immediate royal family. In any
case the etiquette does not vary. The
king is attended by a grandee Of Spain,
the chamberlain of the week, the chief
of the halberdiers, the commanding of
ftcer Of the cavalry guard of the day
and the captain of the palace guard.
Upon each of the queens, as upon each
illfanta, there waits dame of honor.
And one dimes we'll, in the rich Aus
trian way, out of porcelain dishes bear
ing the royal arms. 1t was from his
mother that Alfonso XIII. got his love
of good cheer. He is one of the few
kings who could gain a livelihood as
cook He has invented an omelet that
is spoken reverently of by all the gour-
NETS of Europe.
After dinner his majesty smokes and
plays the piano. At II o'clock down
all the great staircases come the ushers
and servants and guards who have the
watch of the night-a soft-stepping,
solemn procession. Last of all comes
tie Swiss of the house, for it would be
Unfair to speak of so great dignitary
as porter. His uniform is red and yell
low; he wears a huge three-cornered
hat, and by his side hangs a sword in
a gilt scabbard. In one hand he car
ries a ponderous bunch Of keys; in the
other an iron lantern. One by one he
locks the doors of the great palace and
extinguishes the lights. In the dark
ness and the silence, immobile, the hal
berdiers watch.

Homes are being abandoned. Hilltops
are turned into refugee camps. The
people are praying.
The present volcano is really the sec
ondary crater of old Colima, which is
seven miles away and towers 14,3O(
feet high. The new volcano first be-
came active in 1851. The next serious
outbreak was in 1903. All the time
however, small disturbances are going
on. They occur at intervals varying
from a few hours to several days. The
city of Colima and surrounding coun-
try has been frequently visited by
earthquakes, but periods of unusual
activity by the volcano and the earth
quake shocks have never before oc-
Cured at the same time.

cIassed her as a dukes daughter. But
when Guest was raised to the peerage
his wife stood no longer in the position
of the daughter of a peer, but in that
OF the wife of one. Instead of taking
her rank from her father, she took it
from her husband, and as a lord isn't
as exalted as duke her position in
the order of precedence to-day is ten
steps lower than it was before and for
a while after her wedding.
A pleasant contrast is the case of Sir
Edward Malet, who recently refused a
peerage because it would have reduced
his bride, Lady Ermyntrude, from the
rank of the Duke of Bedford's daugh-
ter to that of a baron's wife. Lady
Margaret Compton, daughter of the
Marquis of Northampton, lost six steps
in the precedence scale when she gave
her hand to Lord Loeb, whereas had
she become the wife of plain John
Smith she would have retained the
high rank Of her girlhood.-New York

Picked Eggs,

A tasty dish ever popular for lunch
cons and light suppers is made of
picked eggs. They must be prepared
some time before they are wanted a
month of ripening being necessary.
Take a dozen and a half eggs, cover
them with quart of vinegar, favored,
if preferred, with a dash of cinnamon
or cloves. Take a half ounce of ginger
root, teaspoonful OF black whole pep
per, and the same of white pepper
Bring the vinegar to boil and add the
ginger and pepper. Boil the eggs for
twelve or fifteen minutes and peel
them, taking care not to spoil their
symmetry or break the white. Pack
them in glass jars and cover with the
vinegar. These are excellent at the
end of a month, and may be kept for a
long time.

When Husband Was Made a Peer.
Women filed with a fatuous fancy

cial precedence, or a bad imitation of
it, into this country would do we'll, per-
haps, to give heed to the trouble they
have even in experienced England with
that sort of thing. 1t is the popular
idea that all changes of social position,
so long as one remains in society at all,
must be for the better. Nothing of the
sort.

of her own, easily may lose many steps

daughter becomes the bride of COM
moner she retains the position she held
before marriage. But let her husband
beware lest in advancing himself he
pull his wife down the ladder, for that
is precisely what he'll do if he breaks
into the peerage.
\ case in point is that of Lady VIM

and as her husband was only baronet

mer Jurgins, on two consecutive mOrn-
ings, walked to the railway station. AS
he went men turned to stare at him,
women pointed at him out of the Win
doWs, and even the small dogs seemed
to take delight in barking at him. At
the station his arrival created a mild
stir, and on the second morning a
group of his fellow citizens gathered
about him.

why do you walk to the depot in this
humble fashion? Where is you rauto-

months ago every man in this town
called me 'Jurg,' was glad to walk with
me and swap yarns, moved up to give
me half his seat in the car, and seemed
generally satisfied with me. Blicks,
the grocer, knocked off a little on my
bill now and then. and gave my boy a
bag Of candy when 1 settled with him.
''Toomy gave me two thousand
pounds of coal in a ton, and never sent
a bill for it until l asked him what
owed him.

cents an hour to cut my grass and do
chores. 1 used to do most of them my
self, in the evening.
My wife could buy ten yards Of
goods and cut a Dress hire Nancy Cook

there was tennis, croquet or golf, no
one in town was more likely to be ask

Then I bought that automobile.
For at least four months no man in
town has called me anything but Mr..

cause he thinks l can afford it.

tennis, golf, baseball or croquet once

Boys leave the farm because they
don't enjoy fourteen or fifteen hours
of bitter hard work every day; they
don't like to get up before daylight in
the morning and toll like steam engines
until after dark in the evening. The
best way to encourage the farmer boys
is to treat them as though they were
human beings; let them have their
sleep in the mornings; call ten hours
a days work; let them have their even
ings for themselves, without a thou
sand heartbreaking chores to embitter
their souls and make them old before

The Origin of Forks.

The enormous ruffs so much in favor
in later Tudor times are responsible
for the introduction of forks in Eng,
land. The difficulty of reaching ones
mouth when so adorned must have in
pressed itself very forcibIy on every
one, and so the invention of some
means of prolonging the reach became
an imperative necessity, and thus, as
demand usually creates supply, forks
came into existence.

The Dominion of Canada is now or

The Dominion of Canada is now ex-
periencing the strictest observance of
Sunday which has prevailed anywhere
or this continent since the days of the
Puritans. Nearly every form of public
amusement is forbidden. There can be
no hunting, fishing, ballplaying, selling
of foreign newspapers or cigars, work
ing for hire or hiring another to work :
and liquor may not be sold from 7
o'clock on Saturday night until 6
O'Clock Monday morning. This last pro-
vision will be of especial interest to
social reformers, who believe that the
inability to squander the weeks wages
for liquor on Saturday night will be
of great benefit to the wage-earners.
A peculiar thing about the new Sun
day law is that it applies only to those
provinces which do not substitute a
Sunday law of their own. SO far. Que
bee alone has done this. The people of
Quebec. being predominantly of French
descent, incline somewhat to the Con-
tinental Sunday. The settlers of the
other provinces, being principally of
English and Scotch descent, believe in
the 'inSular Sunday"
