The Heir Apparent
Throne May
The rumor comes from England that
the Grand Duke Mlchncl, heir to the
czar of KiiBsIn, will shortly plight his
troth to the charming little grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, the Prin
cess Margaret of Connaught.
As seen by European eyes this be
trothal Is one of tho most Important,
If not tho most Important, which Is
likely to take placo In years among
tho Imperial and royal families. And
this Importance lies In the fact that It
is hoped thereby to provide for the fu
ture aucccsolon to the throne of Rus
sia. Nicholas II., tho present ruler of
Russia, has three daughters, but no
sons, and as the Russian Imperial fam
ily law excludes womon from -tho
throne, It seems very probable now
that tho succession will not fall to the
lot of a descendant of the reigning
monarch.
It was only last summer that Mi
chael became czarowltch, an honor
which fell to him upon the death ot
his brother, tho Grand Duke George,
who died of consumption.
Tho Princess Margaret of Connaught
Is tho oldest daughter of the duke of
Connaught, tho third son of Victoria,
queen of England. She Is really a very
pretty child, and It Is not too much to
say that sho Is tho most attractive of
the queen's granddaughters. Princess
Margaret was born In January, 1882,
and is just 18 years old this month.
In royal families It has como to bo
considered that from 18 to 120 Is a
very reasonable age for a princess to
bo married, since through a marriage
thus early sho learns to nccommodato
herself to those peculiar conditions un
der which a queen must live.
The girl princess Is of slight, grace
ful llguro, has hazel eyes, brown hair,
and features extremely pleasant and
refined. Albeit her nose is slightly re
trousse, this fact does not retract from
her onox bit rather adds a dash of
piquancy to her pretty features, writes
Mary L. Stevens In the Boston Homo
Magazine. It was only during tho
present year that Margaret put on her
first long dress a creation which has
been described by one writer is a gar
ment that would not excite tho envy of
American heiresses.
Tho father of the princess, the duko
of Connaught, is one of tho generals
in tho English army. The duke Is one
of tho most popular of the queen's sons
and a loyal, patriotic Brltou to the
core. Indeed, bo true Is this that ho
absolutely refused a short time ago to
accept tho heirship to the duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, a sovereign stato
in Germany, because tho acceptance
would compel hlra to leave the English
army and the country ho delights In
calling "home."
To indulge in generalities, it is
claimed in some quarters that every
unmarried princess in Europe would
be envious if the Grand Duko Michael
should win the affections of the little
English girl, scarce yet out of short
dresses. As czarina sho would como
into possession ot tho greatest collec
tlon of precious stones and Jewels in
tho world; the wife ot tho most ab
solute ruler of tho largest empire in
tho cast, and in addition have the op
portunity, dear to full many a woman's
heart, to absolutely rule the absolute

PRINCESS MARGARE
She Is reported to bo engaged
Tho future ruler of Russia Is at pres
ent In Scotland at tho Jiomo of tho
duko ot Connaught, and everywhere
has been received with acclaim. It
is said that Queen Victoria Is very
much pleased at tho prospect of tho
marriage, as she wishes to bind tho
Russian empire as closely to England
as Is possible.
Tho young grand duke has traveled
widely since It was not considered so
Important to keep him In Russia, as
It was his older brother, now dead.
Like his brother, tho czar, Michael Is
said to havo Ideas which arc compara
tively liberal, and furthermore to havo
moro moral courago and strength to
carry them out than has the present
ruler.

NO SHOW FOR WRITERS.

Tho professional writing mnn should

In that field, If ho cun write nt all, ho

There Is no field of effort or Invention
that Is not covered In mngnzlno Jour

Tho wholo world wants to write. It

Unquestionably happened. Tho Nor

Ruatan, continued Mr. Cooper, is 40
miles long nnd three miles wide. It
has a population ot about 3.PJ0 people,
mostly Cnrlb Indians, and I doubt
whether there. Is In nil tXo world n

people are lazy simply mcause they
don't hnvo to work. Coconnuts form

Ok nuts.
Wnen the native needs something nt
tho storo nil ho bus to do Is to gather
together some nuts nnd trnda thorn
tor what ho wishes. Ho hulls them

factured into mats and urushes nnd nil
sorts of flbor ware, but no attempt
has ever been made to uttllzo it on tho
Bay Islands. Thousands upon thou
sands ot dollars' worth of material has
thus been allowed to rot on tho ground.
Everybody admits that a flbor works
would bo n prolltnble Industry, "but
what !h the use?" tho people say.
"Haven't wo everything wo want al
ready?" It Is tho Indolence that gets
In tho blood. The longer you llvo nt
Ruatan tho less you approve ot toll.
Other fruits grow Just as easily as
the cocoanut nnd tho only reason why
thnt especially Is grown Is becauso It
furnishes an easy crop, for which thoro
is alwaya n ready market. Wo havo
plenty of bnnanns, oranges, mangoes,
plums and pineapples, and they aro all
dollclous. They grow -wild, without
tho slightest cultivation, and all ono
hus to do Is to pick thorn. Vegetables
arc equally prolific, and our natlvo
yams easily nvr-rngo 40 to CO pounds
In weight, A piece of enno stuck In
tho ground takes root and ronowB Itself
perennially for years. A stranger who
comes to the islands is Invnrlably
amazed at tho prodigality ot naturo
and tho npathy of the natives that is
beforo tho lazy feeling gets Into his
blood. "Why don't you grow this
and "Why don't you cultlvnto that?"
ho asks. Tho natives sllnply smile.
Why not take thlng3 easy and bo
happy?"
Tho next Island to Ruatan Is Utllia,
which has a population of about 800
und Is touched by several steamship
lines. There Is n good deal of trading
from tho Island along tho Honduranian
