A ROYAL NURSERY.

The little heir to the Spanish
throne has begun his babyhood in
suite Of rooms arranged entirely after
the fancy OF his royal mother. Span
ism etiquette requires her to conform
to ideas other than her own on most
points, but in the fitting OF the nur-
yery her word is law The furnish
Ing, decorating and entire arrange
ment are English, and OFFER every
thing that could possibly conduce to
a baby's health and happiness.
The suite, directly over the queens
apartments, on the sunny side of the
palace, consists of liying-room, din
ing-Toom, bedrooms for the baby and
head nurse, bath and sewing-room.
The living-room Is decorated in
green and white, with showers of
little pink rosettes The vaulted
ceiling is enameled in white, and
round the walls runs frieze of ami
mails in Noah 's-ark-like procession.
Light green shades temper the sun
shine.
The angles OF furniture and walls
are all softly rounded; so the APP
proved method Of standing a naughty
child in the corner face TO the wall
could hardly be adopted in this case.
With the exception Of the rose-col-
ored English carpets, everything in
the suite is washable.
The wide window-sills are cozily
cushioned; an iron lattice, light and
lace-like, but very strong, secures
the windows from without.

The little prince sleeps in the

The dining-room furniture is white
mahogany, with the royal arms Of
Spain skilfully inlaid in each piece.
Throughout, simplicity and good
taste distinguish this ideal dwelling

The rooms are considered the best

Duchess Of Sutherland'S Cnpples
Trentharn Hail. For Generations Show Place Of Eng
lard to Be Turned Into Factory For Unfortunates

industry whose demands upon her
were exhausting. She was on the
verge of despair, when a friend sGme
to her assistance well-known edi-
tor. This man visited the workshop,
went into the fullest details-and he
decided and told the duchess that the
only way out Of the difficulty was to
make the guild regular business
concern.
It was done. The name was
changed from the Potters' Guild Of
Handicrafts to the Duchess of Suth-
erland's Cripples Guild, Limited. The
shareholders have agreed to apply
their profits to the training school
and the charitable work of the guild.
Within few minutes the capital of
the company was subscribed. The
duchess was chosen chairman.
But more workrooms and better
workrooms were needed, and so the.
Duke of Sutherland came forward
with his splendid offer. He trans
ferred Trentham Hall and the estates
surrounding it to the company, free
of rent. True, TrenthamN for several
years had been abandoned as ducal
residence, because the River Trent,
which runs through the grounds, had
been SO polluted by the factories on
it's banks. But though impossible
for a residence now Trentham would
bring a great deal Of money if sold
for manufacturing purposes. So the
dukes offer is none the less gem
erous.
In the. days when Trentham Hall
was used by the duke as a residence
the park and grounds were free to
the workers in the districts round
about. And beautiful grounds they
were and are. The garden front, it
is said, is almost unrivalled in Eng
land Then there is the lake, almost
a mile long, with wooded islands here
and there. On one side of the lake
rise the hills, on the other stretch
the green fields. The hall itself was
built from designs by Barry, and
cost $750,O00 in the days when labor
and material cost less than half what
they do now. For generations
Trentham Hall has been one of the
show places of England. To have
it transformed into factory for the
handicapped to work in is like a so
cialist dream come true.
Trentham Hall is such an immense
pile of buildings that it will accom-
modate a small army, and several
thousands crippled workers can be
employed now, therefore, instead of
bare three hundred as at Hanley.
The workshops will be--as the
smaller ones equipped with
the best tools. and machinery of the
highest grade. The cripples all work
the regulation hours at their trade,
except for such time as is devoted
to lecture and instruction. The ma
terial is all supplied them. Some
work from patterns, but the more
gifted execute original designs. The
workers are like one big family, it
is said, though the working rules
and regulations are absolutely bust
nesslike. All the meals are supplied
the workers, in addition to their pay
by piece work, and abundant recrea-
ton, consisting Of games, of reading
aloud by one of the staff, and of mu-
sic, is furnished them.-New York
Tribune.

People who have read Disraeli's
Lothian" will remember his descrip-
tion of Brentham, that splendid Eng
lish place, Fan Italian palace of free
stone, vast, ornate and in scrupulous
condition Brentham is really
Trentham Hall, one of the seats of
the Duke and Duchess Of Suther-
land 1t is a beautiful estate, but
that is of no great significance, for
there are many beautiful estates in
England. What is. of significance,
however, is that this home of titled
men and women is to be turned into
a workshop for the unfortunate of
the earth-for those who are handi-
capped by some deformity.
The Duchess of Sutherland is at
the bottom of the movement that has
brought this about. She is very
democratic for a peeress, though not
so pronounced socialist as her half
sister, the Countess of Warwick. So
democratic is she, however, that she
took her sons away from the fash
ionable institution of learning where
they were and sent them to parish
school with the sons of the farmers.
1t was a socialist, Miss Margaret
Macmillan, who first turned the at
tention of the Duchess Of Sutherland
to the need of practical work among
the "Potteries'-the ''Potteries"
being that part of England comprised
in the counties of Staffordshire and
Worcestershire where the interests
of the Sutherlands lie. AS the name
implies, poetry making is one of the
chief industries there The duchess
attended one Of Miss >MacMillan's lee
lures, and afterward, without reveal
ing her identity, she had long talk
with the lecturer-with whom she
formed friendship that has en-
dured ever since. Soon after that
talk large party Of crippled chill
dren were invited by the duchess to
Trentham Hall. Then and there a
guild was formed. The first venture
was In ARTIFICIAL flower making, after
the methods of France A teacher
was secured from France, and this
teacher visited the homes of the
crippled children and instructed
them. Enema room was hired, and
the work began really to grow. In
two years the industry was so big
that a building was leased in the
town of Hanley and other handi-
crafts were taken up. At the Provi-
dence Works, in Wilson street, Han
ley, to-day, there are cripples of both
sexes who are skilled as enamellers,
jewelers., printers, bookbinders, die
stampers and metal workers about
three hundred workers, paid at union
rates and making, the fast workers,
quite as much as if they were able
bodied men and women in the thick
of the outside world
But the guild, at first supported
and managed by the duchess almost
without assistance from any one else,
grew beyond her. There was a staff
of instructors and a business staff,
but the duchess, as president, had to
look after the business personally.
The demand for the goods manufac-
tured by the cripples increased, and
the founder Of the guild, who hither-
to had navigated only in social
waters, found herself adrift on the
great deep of the trade world. With
out the training of a business woman
she found herself in charge of an

THE SELECTION OF A HUSBAND


Because it is the duty of every
woman to marry some man, it by no
means follows that she is deprived
of the privilege of making acute dis
elimination; on the contrary, to full
fill her mission as completely as pos
sible she should exercise the greatest
care in selecting a mate Time was
when she had no say in the matter,
and in some countries she has little
or none to-day, but in this happy
civilized land she still possesses, and
will undoubtedly hold for all time,
the right first to choose and then en-
snare. 1t is noble prerogative--
one, in our judgment, that should be
appreciated and cherished above all
others And yet, as we have OBJ
served, it should be exercised with
caution. Let nothing be left to
chance, as Plato would have had it
when he decreed that pairing should
be done by lot; while not over-nice
be at least particular, in order that
the one chosen may feel honored by
the distinction conferred upon him
and so be the more readily induced
to show his undying gratefulness.
Much that was thought and writ
ten years ago on how to choose a
wife was good enough for the time,
but the recent reversal of the rela-
tive attitudes of seeker and sought
renders it valueless. Nevertheless,
despite the fact that, in considering
the points to be needed and the pre-
cautions to be observed by woman
kind, we find ourselves in a fallow
field, certain general principles may
be regarded as established. 1t is best,
for example, to capture a husband
while he is still young, docile and
poetic Preferably also he should be

DlTES FIXED FOR EXECUTION
,. kiusIow and Sim Strong to Be uanoed May t-kinsIow Hanging to Be First in Garland County
 History.

1it+Ia Rock, Ark.-Governor Pindall n1adov sci the date for the hanging af nave Kinslow and Sim Strong, two uocroes who have been sentenced to avecution by hanging for murder in ,ho first degree. Kinslow will be hang ad at Hot Springs Friday, May 1. and ctronq will die on the same date at Marianna.
 Tho governor fixed the dates in ,roclamations, one issued in each case and he stipulates that each of tba men shall be hanged near the county jail. The details of the hang inc will be arranged by the sheriff who is warned by the governor to execute his task without fail.
 The hanging of Dave Kinslow, it is said will be the first execution by hanging in the history of Garland oountv Kinslow will be executed in the county jail yard at Hot Springs, and it is thought that the hanging will attract large crowds of people from all over that county.
 Kinslow was convicted November 19 1qO7 in the Garland County Cir cuit Court of the crime of murder in the first degree. He was sen- fenced to be hanged December II. His case was appealed to the Su- preme Court, however, and the lat ter court heard the case, upholding the judgment of the lower court. Kins- low then asked for a rehearing. but this was refused. and it was then up 10 the governor to set the date for the hanging, the date set by the lower courts having passed.
 The history of the Sim Strong case is almost identical with that of the Kinslow case Sim Strong was con victed October IS by the Lee County Circuit Court of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hang ed December 23 He appealed. and the Supreme Court in his case also upheld the judgment of the lower court His motion for a rehearing was also denied by the Supreme Court Monday
