At a sugar mill on the island of Bar

shortening sail when a native boy,
who did not let go soon enough, was
carried aloft by the great forty-fVe
foot sail. He fortunately had all his
wits about him and managed TO get
his feet around a bar Of the sail and
TO hold on to the one above. Ia this
position he was carried around, the
mill revolving with increased rapidity
as the man whose duty 1t was to feed
it had rushed out at the first alarm. A
cry was raised to choke the rollers
with cane and thus stop the mill, and
this was done at the imminent risk Of
breaking some of the machinery and
so releasing the sails altogether, but
after six complete revolutions the mill
was stopped. fairly choked by the bun

The mascat Is a comical black cat or
kitten, marked with a white horseshoe
on its breast and with a four leafed
clover on its paw. 1t is warranted to
be an unfailing luck bringer. and its
funny little face never fails to make a
hit. The mascat II supplied with
plump little legs SO hinged to the body
that the cat may be made to assume
any position desired. The distinctive
feature Of the toy, however, Is the

The crown princess Of ROumanfA,
granddaughter of Queen Victoria, who
Is to represent her husbands country
at the coronation of her cousin, King
George Of England, bears a striking re-
semblance to Queen Mary, although the
crown princess Is by far the better
looking of the two. The crown prin-
cess was the Princess Marie Of SAKE
Coburg, daughter Of the late Prince AL
fred of Saxe-Coburg and Of the Grand
Duchess Marie Of Russia, an aunt to
the czar. Although the Saxe-Coburg
princesses were considered royal beau
ties, yet none Of them made especially
good matches, Pincess Marie, the ED
est, marrying the Insignificant Ferdi-
nand, heir to the Roumanian throne,
shortly after all Europe had been en-
tertained with the story of his love af-
the waiting maids Of his aunt. Queen
Elizabeth OF Roumania. Although Prin-
cess Marie's married life with the
gloomy and not very popular crown
prince has not been a particularly hap
by one, she commands the admiration
and devotion OF the Roumanians. In
every possible way she has tried to
ameliorate their condition, lending her
name and influence to every worthy
charity In the RouDanian capital and
e~ndeayoring to popularize the national
embroideries. laces and jewelry. Prin-
cess Marie, unlike Queen Mary, likes
Americans and encourages them to
visit the Roumanian capital.

Seiected Words.

The game of selected words Is played
thus: The company may be divided
into sides, each half selecting a word
the object of one side being to find out
the word selected by the other. The
word must be the name of something
we'll known to both sides. Words of
two or more meanings are the best
to be selected, such as pen, post, mail,
rail, deer, etc. The answers are thus
more varied and the words more diff
cult TO select. Each side asks ques'
lions of the other. which should be
answered In a plain, matter of fact,
truthful way. The side guessing the
hidden word In the fewest questions Is
victorious.
