B« la Clam, lotalllfant, • Great Reader end Fond of Music — Has an Income of IMO9,040 and Urea blmpij. Poor little Alfonso of Spain, from whom we seized the remnants of the vast colonial empire of his ancestors, is a dreamy little king with serious ness and sorrow in his looks. In his short life he has seen misfortune fall heavily upon his country and his house. Alfonso XIII. is the youngest ruler in Europe. He was born in 1886, six months after the rather sudden and little expected death of his father. The great care bestowed upon the kingly baby by his mother has not gone un rewarded. for the king has new en tirely outgrown his constitutional deli cacy, and is a healthy and strong youth, although still small for his age. He bears himself with a peculiar lan guor, but his dreamy smile is very winning and he is almost worshiped by his entourage. He is clever and in telligent, holds a commission in the army, and is generally seen in uni form. He takes, in spite of his youth, great interest in military affairs, and when a child a boy regiment was formed, cv which he was in command. This corps was rechuited from the best families in Spain, numbered about 450 youngsters, and included a good band. Alfonso XIII Is fair, with curly hair and deep blue eyes. He is already a great reader and student, and has per fectly mastered four languages be sides his own. among them being Eng lish. which he speaks without the slightest accent. Before he entered upon his 11th year, when his women attendants gave place to a controller, equerries and valet, he had an English governess. Two English governesses were retained at a high salary at the palace—one for the king and one for his sisters. The king occupies a large and splendid suite of apartments in the royal palace at Madrid and has his own household. The youthful king *s passionately attached to his mother and sisters, and with his soldier bovs at his command his life is not. and never was. as lonely as it would neces sarily appear, considering the strict rule of the court which forbids his majesty to mix with common mortals. Alfonso is fond of music, having no doubt inherited this love from his mother. His at present only rare visits to the royal opera, at Madrid, afford him the greatest pleasure. Two years ago he also witnessed his first bull fight, an obligation no Spanish monarch may neglect. It is reported that the king looked upon this duty more as an ordeal than otherwise. The education of the youthful king was and is a difficult task, as his person is sacred and no punishment can be administered. The late war with the United States, with the frequent and universal disasters, caused the boy king's heart unspeakable grief, and In spite of his youth he spent many sleepless nights. It was a sad and pa thetic spectacle to see this young oc cupant of one of the oldest thrones, surrounded by hi3 sorrowing and deep ly afflicted mother and sisters, trying to Inspire them with hope and cour age under such gloomy circumstances. According to the laws of Spain the monarch becomes of age and succeeds to full power when he completes his 18th year. Before Alfonso XIII. reaches that age he will have traveled a great deal, as It is intended that he must visit every court in Europe: thus he will complete his education, which is intended to fit him for the difficult position of the reigning King of Spain. He will be wealthy, as his state allow ance is $1,500,000 a year, with various palaces, castles and villas to live in rent free, and during his minority sav ings were and are still effected, for the queen regent does not allow waste, and the home life of the Spanish court is simple. The royal family never rise later than 6 a. m , and at 8 breakfast Is served to them. Open-air exercise and studies occupy the time of the king till 1 o'clock, when lunch is partaken of. After another short course of study mother and children take a driving. Dining is at 8 o’clock, and it Is only during the last year or so that the king dines in the evening and re tires late; formerly he retired regular ly at 8 o'clock. The Offlcloaa Person. If there’s anybody on earth more an noying than another It is the officious person. In some instances even young girls are guilty of officiousues3. They start out winningly by desiring to be of service; they know Just how they can fix this, that or t'other in a way to be a thing of beauty and a Joy for ever, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Per haps It's your hat. perhaps it’s your plants. And perhaps, alas! you suc cumb. If it's your hat. she has some new-fangled way of recurling the feathers, which is chiefly valuable as an escape valve for her enthusiasm. You put the ruins in the ash barrel, and think many things about unso licited favors, and also of that homely old “If you want a thing well done, do it yourself.’* I.lnrota'a Keen Sense of IIamor. Colonel Hay. who in writing Lin coln’s life declared that his time was largely occupied in destroying mots falsely attributed to the president, re peated one recently told to him which he believed to be genuine.

Theory of tho Fish's Dtsspp so roses by is Old nshtrass Of late years mackerel bare not been seen off the eastern coast of Maine. One explanation was given by a prom inent fisherman of Southwest Harbor, who said: “We used to catch mack erel by the thousands down our way years ago, but the warships scared them away. You know they run in schools, and once they get scared from a certain locality they never again run that way. That's the only reason I can find they don’t come our way now adays.” Less is known about mack erel than of any other of our common food fish. It is known that the fish migrate northward in the spring and southward in the autumn, and that they come from some unknown place that is secret to all of our experts. In May an enormous school strikes the coast of Yarmouth, N. S. This school evidently is separate from the southern army that advances from the south ern coast. From the size and general character of the mackerel off the Yar mouth coast it is believed that, as they have no connection whatever with the great schools from the south.they must come from out of the deep sea to the east. When the southern schools have advanced as far as Nantucket, they suddenly disappear, leaving no trace behind them. Then the veteran mack erel fishermen pick up their traps and repair to the bays indenting the Mas sachusetts coast, for it is there the mackerel will next appear, where they stay in more or less numbers until well into August. The roving habit of the mackerel is thus shown. Be sides these general movements they have certain erratic habits that con found the fishermen and experts. They disappear from one place and reap pear in the strangest manner. There is no accounting for these movements any more than there is in explaining their migrations. Old fishermen who have grown gray in the work say that the mackerel are the most mystifying of all our salt water fish. They have learned to read the signs of their com ing and going, but they cannot explain them, nor can they account for their habits. They pursue them with a sort of intuition. One may be a good fish erman of other denizens of the deep in a short time, but to capture mack I erel large experience is required. FROZEN IN THEIR TRACKS. Large Story About Weather From West Virginia. There is ca exhibition at a general i store in M&rlington. W. Va.. a curious and unusual tableau group, says the New York Herald. It is nothing less than a setter dog and a dozen quail. . all frozen and in the attitude usually assumed by birds and dogs when brought into close quarters in the i woods. The exhibition occupies the entire shop window, and has attracted much attention, though the warmer ! weather may spoil it soon. The dog belonged to Judge William Green. Dur ing the very cold weather just after the beginning of February Judge i Green took a young setter out to the ! woods to give him an outing, thinking ; he might see a few birds and further the work of training the setter. He ; took no gun. It was the closed sea | son for game birds. While going up I a valley between Peterson's Mountain ! and a short ridge, where it was ex- ] tremely cold on account of the sharp wind. Judge Green missed the dog. He hunted for half an hour, but could And no trace of the animal. He re turned home, thinking the dog had preceded him. but the animal was not there. Nothing was seen of the dog until Thursday, when the Judge went j back into the mountains to make an- I other search. In the thicket where ; | the dog had last been seen, but se curely hidden by the evergreens the Judge discovered the animal, standing with his nose pointed fairly ahead and ! as natural as if alive. Half a dozen yards away were about a dozen quail, all of them frozen. The setter had scented the birds and stood waiting for his master to come. The dog, in his instinctive effort to locate the game for his master, and the quail, in their fear to move in the dog’s pres ence, had all frozen to death. There has been no thawing weather under the lowering brow of the mountain since the day the animal met the quail. The judge gathered up the frozen dog and quail, brought them tc town and placed them on exhibition Via I ting Cards for Do**. ‘*1 want some very small cards en graved." said a fashionably attired woman in a Philadelphia stationer’s establishment the other day. "Yes, madam." said the attendant, "about this size?” indicating a sample card. ‘No. no,” replied the woman, "much smaller than that. I want them about the size of the baby cards that moth ers used to send out several seasons ago when a new baby was born.” She finally selected the size she wanted, and the attendant asked what name was to be used. “Fido Smith.” was the reply. “And in addition to the address I want ‘Wednesday’ engraved on the opposite corner.” "Did you say Fi do?” asked the young man. "Yes,” said the woman. "Fido Smith. You see the cards are for my little dog. I don’t know whether you know it or not. but it’s quite the proper thing now for women who have dogs to take them calling upon other women who have dogs, and of course, you couldn’t do that without leaving the cards. Wed nesday is my at home day. and Fido receives all his little dog friends with me on that day. Now’ you know all about it.” Two of m Kind. Chauncey M. Depew was walking down Fifth avenue the other day with a certain politician, who was trying to induce the senator to give him some railroad passes. He was making an impassioned statement of the reasons why his needs should receive the en lightened consideration of Mr. Depew, when an old, tattered beggar inter rupted him -to get something in his turn, from the senator. “Look here," said the politician to the beggar, "you work the other side of the street; thiE is my side.” Mr. Depew laughed and gave the politician the desired passes.

Bat, Morally, They Are Utterly De graded—ghoeklac Brutality to Tbetr Women and Cruelty to Their Children. One of the most barbarous people tn the world are the Slfans of Thibet, al though, physically, they are among the finest races to be found in Central Asia. They are not uniform in color, some being black and some brown. But they are uniformly thievish and lazy. Among their bad traits are ungov ernable hostility to one another and love of warfare. Each tribe is always at war with its neighbor, and gener ally upon the most trivial pretext. Two men may quarrel over the posses sion of a knife or an equally trifling article. The aggrieved party returns to his tribe and reports the facts of the case to his chief. His right to the arti cle in question is never considered; it is enough that he should have quar reled over it. War is immediately de clared on the tribe of his rival by sending messengers with arrows dipped in blood and the head of any unfortunate prisoner of war who may have been captured prior to the out break of hostilities. From that mo ment the quarrel becomes deadly. No concerted action is taken, the strife being in the nature of a gigantic feud. When a man of one tribe meets one of the rival tribe a combat takes place until one or the other has been killed, the victor cutting off the head of his vanquished foe as a trophy of his prowess. Poisoned food and the poi soning of wells are stratagems which either tribe feels itself quite at liberty to use to compass the downfall of a rival. This sanguinary feud may last for months, or even years, until, both sides tiring of the loss of life, a settle ment is effected through the media tion of some powerful chief, who is not a party to the quarrel. The lives of the women are one of horrible abasement. Polyandry is generally practiced, increasing the horror of the woman's position, for she is required to be a slave to a num ber of masters, who treat her with most vigorous harshness and brutality. From the day of her birth until her death, and Sifan women seldom live to be 50. her life is one protracted period of degradation. She is called upon to perform the most menial and degrading services and the entire manual labor of the community, it be ilng considered degrading for a man to engage in other labor thBn that pro vided by warfare and the chase. The rigni 10 ner possession among ner nu merous husbands is determined by age. When the oldest lord and master is not engaged In some expedition which keeps him absent from his village, he places his boots and weapons over the door of his dwelling, and until he has gone the others are obliged to keep away, when the next in age takes up the ownership of the Joint property. Should the eldest husband die. how ever. the rights of succession are de termined by force of might, which cus tom gives rise, not infrequently, to bloody and long-protracted feuds. The life of woman, being held in little or no esteem, is taken without the least compunction, and suicide among the female population is of frequent oc currence. Among nearly all savage races a certain affection for their offspring Is manifested by parents. Among the Slfans. however, such an abstract moral quality as affection is entirely unknown, and when one has witnessed the hardships attending the early life of the children of this strange race, cne cannot help wondering how they manage to survive. When a child is to be born the mother is driven from the village in which she lives, and is com pelled to take up her abode in some roadside hut or cave in the open coun try. a scanty supply of food, furnished by her husbands, being brought to her by the other women of the tribe. When the child is born, the mother remains with it for one or two months, and then, leaving it in the cave, re turns to the village and informs her eldest husband of its birth and the place where she has left it. If the child is a male, some consideration is shown to her; should it be a female. howev«*r, her lot is frightful, for. aside from the severe beating to which she is subjected by her husband, she suf fers the scorn and contumely of the rest of the tribe. If it is a male child, the husband goes to the cave and brings it back to the village; if it is of the opposite sex he takes one of several courses—sometimes he returns with the female infant; as often he ignores it entirely and allows it to per ish. or he may dispose of It to some other man as a prospective wife.

Twtln BoUl of Ajrooy Th*t Pc*®*1 Like Teor» Tbe following are extracts from a letter from a sergeant in the Seaforth highlanders, dated Dec. 10, says the London Telegraph: “The Black Watch in front made an attempt to charge the position, but we had to retire and simply run for it, the enemy biasing at us all the way and cropping our fellows like skittles from their splen did positions. There was nothing for it but to He down and pretend to be dvd, and this I did about 5:30 a. m., till, I presume, 6 p. m., the sun pour ing down on me all the time, and not a drink of water all day. and dare not stir hand or foot, and expecting every minute to be my last. I could hear nothing but the cries, moans and prayers of the wounded all around me, but I daren’t so much as look up to see who they were. Shots and shells were going over me all day from the enemy and our side, and plenty of them striking within a yard of me—I mean bullets, not shells—and yet they never hit me. I believe some of the fellows lost their heads and walked right up to the enemy’s place, slngwg till they dropped them. One youngster lying close to me said he would make a dart for it about 3 p. m. I tried my best to persuade him not to, but he would go. A couple of seconds later I could hear them pitting at him, and then his groans for about a minuta, and then he was quiet. About this time the sun began to get fearfully hot. and I began to feel it in the legs, which were now very painful and swollen, because I was parched with thirst. Most of the wounded round me had ceased groaning by this time. As it began to get dark I managed to wriggle my body through the shrub further back, and after I had been at it some time, on looking up, found my self right in front of another in trenchment of the enemy. They sent a few rounds at me, but they struck just in front and ricocheted over my head. After a bit. it getting darker. I got up and walked by, and there was nothing but dead highlanders all over the place.” SAVED HER CALICO. “jo«" WhMlrr'i Heart Touched by a Little Girl's Tears. During the civil war there was a town in Tennessee that became very familiar with both the union and the confederate armies. Sometimes the town was under control of one and sometimes of the other. The town had an equal number of union and confed erate sympathizers, who named the principal streets Jeff Davis and Lin coln streets, the people living on these streets taking this way of expressing their attachments. Each army, as it passed through the town, took from its enemies all it could get. Sometimes the soldiers made mistakes, and took from their friends. One day a detach ment of confederate cavalry followed a detachment of union soldiers through the town. They entered a store the proprietor of which was a southerner, who had hidden from the union forces. No one was in the store but a little girl of 12. who had fre quently played southern airs when southern soldiers were in town, to cheer them. On one of the shelves of the store were several yards of calico, which had been promised this littie girl for a dress. This was quite an expensive dress, then, for calico was sold at $1 a yard, and was not easy to eet even at that price. When the soldier took this calico and threw it across his horse and rode away, the littie girl cried so hard that a young officer heard her. He hurried into the store, but the little girl could not tell why she cried. A neighbor, a young girl of 20. hurried across the street, and told the officer that a soldier had taken the calico intended for the little girl's dress. The officer called the men to “Halt!” He demanded that the man who had taken the calico should im mediately bring it to him. A burly soldier got otT his horse and looking ashamed, handed the booty to his offi cer. who. with a bow. gave it to the little girl. She could hardly believe her good fortune when she held the calico in her arms. This voifng officer became the celebrated Gen. “Joe” Wheeler.—Outlook. G«nte*I Tramp* In Chnreh. A rich congregation does not need to go to the poorer part of a city to do mischief, for it can create. If It so please, a nursery of genteel tramps within its own borders. When a min ister and his people have the reputa tion of a soft heart, and by that is often meant a soft head, the news spreads far and wide, and there is an immediate accession to the number of worshipers. Tradespeople of the lower class who wish to push their business and do not feel sufficiently confident about the goods they sell; young men who have lost their situations because they wouldn't do their work; families of women who would consider it be neath them to do anything for their own living and are adepts in what may be called genteel raiding; incapable men of business whom no band would trust with $30. but who hope to get a thousand by quoting the Sermon on the Mount—all these gather and sit down within the sheltering walls of the Christian asylum.”—“Ian Mac laren” in the April Ladies’ Home Journal.
