Poor boyish King Alphonso of Spain.
He wants to marry for If > re. And he
Ivill not be permitted to do so. The
jiand of Princess Louise of France has
been tendered. But Alphonso doesn't
like Louise overly well. He inclines to
i "plebeian" wife. Whereat the Span
ish grandees are horrified. If the ?
young King had his choice he would
marry an American girl. He likes their
style. And he openly flirted with one
during the coronation ceremonies. On
various occasions King Alphonso has :
stated that hej likes the manner in
which American girls conduct them ;
selves and has openly expressed his
preference for them. Alphonso's dis
crimination Is only exceeded by his
food looks. His taste Is excellent He
tnows a good thing when he sees it.
But It cannot be. Much depends upon
fhiB marriage. The future of his coun
try rests upon it And so we have the
tathetic picture of the boyish King'
who has a tender heart inside of him
( as you had once , gentle reader ) led
about by the diplomats who seek to
'strengthen the position and prestige
of Spain by a marriage connection with
some powerful ally. Cupid must go ofl
and have a good ciy when he sees such
heartlessness. Wouldn't you rather be
free to marry the one you love than to
be the King of Spain and compelled to
marry some one else ? Would you trade
your sweetheart or your wife for a
queen ? Would you ?
How all the world loves a baby ! It
is human affection that crops out
everywhere , and it is good for the peo
ple. The other day a tired woman
carrying a. sleeping infant was wait-
Ing for a car. The baby was heavy.
One look at the woman told a story
of devotion and care. It was in her
eyes , in the lines of her face. Mothers
give up much for their little ones. Out
of the corner drug store came a tall ,
fashionably attired man , who took in
the situation at a glance. "Let me
hold the baby for you , madam , " he
said , and the child never stirred as it
was transferred to his strong arms. It
was ten minutes before the car ar
rived. Hundreds of persons looked in
quiringly at the tall man , the faded
woman and the sleeping baby. No
body laughed , for all realized that a
good fellow was doing a bit of kind
ness , and other men wished they had
volunteered. Finally "mother" was in
a car seat , the baby in her arms , and
the tall man touched his hat and went
on about his business , feeling the bet
ter for his act. In Louisville a baby
girl was playing with a rag doll in a
street car. She "mothered it" and kiss
ed it , and all of the passengers were
interested. Suddenly the car lurched ,
and the doll fell from a window to the
pavement. "Stop ! " was the cry from
the passengers. Every man in the car
was on his feet , and a dozen hands
clutched the bell rope. "Stop this car ! "
was the command , and the motorman
brought the vehicle to a standstill. Half
a dozen men started down the track.
The swiftest got the doll after a walk
of a square , and the party proudly
tramped back to the car and gave to
the "little mother" her offspring. The
reward was a smile , and baby smiles
are worth almost any price you can
think of.
0. D. Gibson , the author of the "Gib
son Girl , " declares that women are
growing taller , and he is supported in
his statement by certain philosophers
who have loitered on the seashores at
fashionable bathing places for the pur
pose of making observations. These
authorities declare the average height
of the American girl of the present
is 5 feet 10 inches , and they give it
as their deliberate opinion that the
girl who lives to subdue man with her
smile alongabout the year 2000 will
be more than 7 feet tall. Mr. Gibson
claims to have positive information
that the average height of American
girls has Increased at least two inches
during the last ten years , a fact which
he says is due to their athletic exer
cises ; and he sees no reason why they
should stop growing as long as they
continue to play golf , swing clubs ,
swim , run , jump and engage in prac
tices generally that were unthought of
by girls of a generation or two ago.
There seems , however , to be no in
crease in the average size of the male
inhabitants of our glorious republic.
In fact , the reverse appears to be true.
We look back to the time of Lincoln ,
and further still to the times of Web
ster and Clay , and we say there were
giants in those days. But the giants
have passed. It is said that the rules
governing enlistment In the American
army have had to be changed so as to
admit smaller men , because there are
not enough big ones to fill the ranks.
Whether this is due to cigarrettes , con
finement in business offices , strong
drink or a lack of good cooking is not
known says the Chicago Record-Her
ald. The only thing we can be sure of
in this connec' on is that the conditions
ought to be encouraging. It has for
several years past been feared that men
were giving up the habit of getting
married. The country has more old
bachelors than ever before , and , conse
quently , more unmarried women. But
if the girls are going to be six feet
tall , or even more than that , and the '
boys are to remain scrawny , scrubby
little chaps we may be sure that mat [
rimony will come into fashion again.
No little man has ever yet been able to

SLANG OF OUR COLLEGES.
Interesting Array of Barbarisms that
Only btmlenta Can Interpret.
In an article on college slang Pres
ident Thwiug of the Western Reserve
university presents an interesting array
of words which the laymen would try
in vain to understand without the aid
of a teacher or a glossary. Different
languages , he says , have different
words and phrases , "and a few words
find phrases are common to many , such
as 'swipe , ' 'soak , ' 'spike , ' 'josh , ' 'hen-
medic , ' 'goose egg , ' 'gring , ' 'crib , ' and
many others indeed. But there are
other words that are used only at a
few colleges. A student , for instance ,
in one college may 'bat' ( make a per
fect recitation ) and may sit in a 'bear
box' ( the faculty pew in chapel ) . On
? oing from church he may become a
'belt chaser , ' walking with a 'coed' and
oing to his dinner he has a 'berry'
a good thing ) . In the afternoon he
prepares himself for 'bib' ( that is , for
recitation in the bible ) . It is possible
hat the 'belt chaser' walks with a 'bird'
a girl ) to the 'bird cage' ( a dormitory
or women students ) . It is also possible
hat the 'bird' may be a 'birdie' ( one
tvho is eager to make acquaintance
ivith men without an introduction ) .
"He may prefer to call his walk a
pike , ' and also he may prefer to walk
vith a 'plugger' rather than with a
bird , ' and while walking to tilk about
polek' ( political economy ) or 'poist'
political science ) .
"A student may be a 'moke' ( an easy-
jolng fellow ) , and in ttat case he is
ipt to be 'porky' ( very poor ) in his
vorks , and consequently gets a 'zip'
a zero in marks ) , and is in danger of
eing 'rusticated' ( suspended ) . Of
ourse , he must become a 'repeater'
one required to repeat a year's work ) ,
he hopes ever to get his 'rag' ( diplo- :
na ) . If the man is an 'elle' ( a good st\i-
lent ) he will probably get the reputa-
ion of being a 'whale' ( a phenomenal
tudent ) , in case he 'bones' ( studies )
lard and 'poles' ( prepares a lesson by
iard study ) .
First Uniformed Policeman :
Cause of Wonder and Terror.
The old Inhabitants of towns are fond
if exchanging reminiscences of early
lays. This was the case recently In a :
mall New England city and one of
he matters recalled was the establish- '
ment of its police department Th
force was small in number , but of it
members was almost a giant In siz
six feet four and a half inches tal
and broadly built There chanceC t
be a hitch about the delivery of th
men's uniforms , so that only one wa
received promptly and the Goliath o
the force stalked forth in his splendo
alone.
Naturally he created a sensation. A
he patrolled the long winding stree
that run the wholelength of tlrr place
there were many comments upon hi
personal appearance , most of which
were discreetly uttered after he had
passed out of hearing. At length , how
ever , a shambling , shabby , sly-eyed
crack-witted ne'er-do-well stepped up
and touched the gorgeous figure on tin
arm.
"Say , mister , " he whispered humbly
"tell me the safest law to break and
I'll break it for the honor of walking
down Main street with them buttons !
The information requested was not
vouchsafed and the giant marched on
in his buttons and his dignity. But a
little farther along a small boy who
was playing in the front yard was no
less impressed , although more bewil
dered , by the glittering and mighty ap
parition. He gave one look , eyes and
mouth at their roundest , and then dash
ed indoors , crying to his mother :
"Oh , mamma , look ! look ! Is he war
or the circus ? "
Even after he had become a familiar
figure to the citizens the huge gardian
of the peace retained some of his im-
pressiveness. To one prisoner at least
he so embodied the terrors of the law
that the man submitted to an arresl
which a few words of explanation at
the time could have averted. When ,
in court , he did at length explain , the
judge inquired in astonishment why he
had not done so before. Smiling confi
dentially at his honor the accused re
plied :
"Well , judge , it's like this : You're
folks ; but as for that Bunker Hill mon
ument with a helmet on top , he may
be a first-rate hand-cuffin' machine , but
he ain't a man. I didn't darst argufy
with him. No , sir ! I'd as soon thought
of tryin' to make my position clear to
the town fire engine. "
The Astonishing Trade in Bulbs.
The man with the little garden walks
round the public park and sees cro
cuses and daffodils , hyacinths and tu
lips by the thousand. He understands
they are imported direct from Holland
by very large users of the bulbs. It is
an astounding trade as so measured
and taken as an example of what oth
ers do in the same line , as tradesmen
say. Take the Japanese trade , which
comes next in importance to the Dutch
During last season eighty tons of lily
roots were sold , and this amounts in
numbers to about 3,000,000. But this
is nothing to the Dutch trade , if we
take the same basis of weight and
numbers as in the Japanese instance.
The average sale is sixty tons per
week , which is in numbers about 2,500-
000. The season lasts about four :
months sixteen weeks so that in )
weight 9GO tons are sold ; and this
amounts in numbers to the almost in
credible sum of 40,000,000. Saturday

FLOWERS FOR OUR RULERS.
Bouquets Are Supplied Bountifully to
Congressmen and Senators ) .
Cut flowers are supplied gratuitously
by Uncle Sam to a number of persons
and institutions in the city of Wash
ington and members of Congress have
come tn regard them as among the most
desirable of their perquisites. The
greenhouses from which the flowers
in question come are maintained prin
cipally to supply the city parks with
the plants which make them such a
feature of the city's beauty throughout
the greater part of the year. After the
White House is supplied the hospitals
and other public institutions receive
flowers. Many other worthy causes
also share in the distribution. Fam
ilies of members of the cabinet , the
supreme court and legislative members
come next This custom , which hag
prevailed for years , of distributing the
cut flowers is still followed.
Besides the greenhouses In charge of
the Superintendent of Public Buildings
and Ground , and the White House con
servatory , other gardeners are those of
the Agricultural Department and the
botanical gardens. The latter are un
der the direction of the Senate Com
mittee on Library. The gardens of tho
Department of Agriculture are devoted
largely to the growing of plants other
than floral.
The flowers from the White Housd
conservatory are used for daily decora *
tions of the executive mansion and if
is for state functions and all other orj
dinary occasions that the supply of tho
park greenhouses is drawn upon.
Through this source of supply not an
inconsiderable amount that would oth
erwise have to be spent for flowers for
many state dinners runs well up into
the hundreds and sometimes even thou
sands of dollars. The floral decorations
for the Prince Henry dinner , which
were most elaborate , would have cost
$4,000 if purchased in the flower mar
ket As it was the real expenditure in
the floral decorations was only a few
hundred.
USE OF WATER AT MEALS.
Dr. Felix L. Oswald insists that thd
avoidance of water at meals is a mera'1
"sanitary superstition. " It is not possi
ble for any normally constituted humaii
being to eat his way to the first quarter
instalment of a modern dinner of over
heated made dishes and greasy viands )
without experiencing a distinct longing
for a cooling diluent , and before thd
end of the second course that craving
assumes the urgency of positive dis
tress , but he sufferer is warned to for
bear. Has not Professor Orthodox enu
merated five distinct sources of peril \
from indulging that appetency , andt (
proved that the water instinct is wrong ,
ind that nature knows nothing about
It ?
The most specious of these arguments
sthe alleged risk that the introduction
f cold water would coagulate the al-
jumen of the ingesta , and thus compli
cate the labors of the digestive organs.
3ut is it not evident that those organs
should be allowed a casting vote in the
lecision of that controversy ?
Dr. Schrodt , the author of "Natur-
3eilkunde , " holds , on the contrary ,
hat our diet is not half fluid enough ,
ind demonstrates that organic warmth
vill soon reduce over-cold beverages to
he right medium , and that a craving
vhicli nothing but fresh water will sat-
sfy is a clear proof that the stomach
s suffering from an excess of caloric
ind a deficiency of moisture.
Just wait , and that distress will sub
side , insists Professor O x. Yes ; the
subtle chemistry of the organism will
jventually find means to satisfy its
leeds from internal sources , just as the
igony of a famished man will give way
o a dull torpor ; the system has made
mother forced loan on the reserve
stores of its own tissues , and made the
iiifferer a little more comfortable ,
hough also a little leaner. Even thus
he disappointed stomach will make
shift to lead moisture from some other
art of the organism where it is lesg
sorely needed and the distress subsides ,
hough a feeling of vague discomfort re-
nains , suggesting that the sort of
noisture reabsorbed from the lower all-
nentary duct is not exactly what th < ?
stomach wanted.
