Royalty Much Like Other People in its
Enjoyment of Pleasures.

The simplicity of taste and feeling
which distinguishes the members of our
royal family has always struck me as
their most charming characteristic.
“There is no woman in this world as
artless as the Queen,” once declared a
friend who had had every opportunity
of studying Her Majesty’s character.
Simple joys and simple pleasures are
what most appeal to them, while the
earnestness and warmth of the affec-
tion shown to one another by the
brothers and sisters and cousins and
aunts of the Guelph family show their
real unworldliness in a very charming
light.

One of the most homely and lovable
members is the Princess Christian of
Schleswig-Holstein, as the following
little anecdote will serve to show.
Princess Christian, “Lenchen,” they
call her in the royal circle, takes a
deep interest, as we all know, in char-
itable doings;‘nay, she spends half her
life in helping to clothe the poor, and
feed the sick and hungry. Not very
long ago she persuaded a friend to
adopt some poor little waif and stray.
Soon the friend came to Her Royal
Highness with complaints.

“This child,” she told, “for whom I
have done so much—can it be be-
lieved ?-—is dainty about her food. She
actually objects to cold mutton!”

'And what do you think Princess
Christian replied? That paupers ought
to have no tastes, no likes or dislikes?
Oh! no. The Princess is too sweet and
human for that. She merely laughed
and said, with a delightful simplicity
of accent:

“Well, cold mutton is not so very
nice, after all, is it? I am not fond of
it myself, and as to mamma, though
she rather likes cold beef, the one thing
she cannot and will not stand is cold
mutton.” '

Even the Prince of Wales. man of
the world though he be. retains a vast
deal of simplicity. He and the Duke
of York are like boys together, some-

times, rather than father and son, and

will chaff one another, and laugh to-
gether as heartily as two young un-
dergraduates. I remember how, when
the Duke of York presided over his
first big charity dinner at the Great
Ormond Street Hospitalfor Children,
and a larger sum was subscribed af-
ter his speech than had ever been the
case when the Prince of Wales himself
was at the head of the table, how the
Duke drove off to Marlborough House
in triumph immediately afterward to
“crow,” as he put it, over his sire.
Whether the Prince or Duke was the
more delighted it would be difficult to
say.

 

Useful hIembers of a. Family.

The Portuguese say that no man can
be a good husband who does not eat
a good breakfast, which leads The Wa-
terbury American to say this is a mean
way of throwing upon the wife all the
responsibility for the husband’s good-
ness, for without a good wife there can
be no good breakfast for him to cat.
That may be right in theory, but it is
wrong in practice. We know a man
who has cooked breakfast the greater
part of the time for the past' fifteen
years for his family. And we violate
no confidence when we say it is a good
breakfast, too. He is a man who loves
good living, and he knows how to pre-
pare a meal'with the best of women.
Yet he is a workingman who puts in
from ten to fifteen hours a day of hard
Work, and the kind of work that is ex
hausting.—,—Ansonia Sentinel.

When Earth’s last. picture is painted and the
tubes are twisted and dried,

\When the oldest colors have faded and the
youngest critic has died.

We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it—
lie down for an aeon or two.

'Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall
set us to work anew!

And those that were good shall be happy--
the-y shall srt. in a golden chair; .

‘They shall splash ate. ten-league canvas with
brushes of comets' hair;

They shall find real saints to draw from—
Magdalene. Peter and Paul;

They shall work for an age ata. sitting and
never be tired at all! .

And only the Master shall praise us. and only
the Master shall blame; «

And no one shall work for money, and no one
shall work for. fame;

But each for the joy of the working, and each
in his separate star,

Shall draw the thing as he sees It. for flu God
of Things as They Are!

~Rudyard Kipling.

AMBER.

At the sound of a footfali in the core
ridor he laid down his pen and leaned
wearily back in his big ,arm chair.

Presently a hand thrust back the
curtain from the doorway and his wife
entered. She was gowned for the
evening in her favorite color—dull yel-
low. There were diamonds at hen
throat and in her gold-brown hair. She
looked radiant with pleasure. ,

“Shall I do?” she asked, coming for.
ward, and leaning upon the desk with}
her hands, palms downward.

“You will do very well,” lit: said all
last. “What is it to-night, Amber?"-

“ ‘Faust.’ I am going with the Kerr.
dalls, Lawrence—”

He took up his pen with a slight ges~
turc of impatience that effectually si-
lenced her. Half the joy died out of.
her face. She stood a moment watch-
ing him as he wrote; then she went
round and laid her hand timidly on his
shoulder.

“John—” wistfully.

“Well?”

She hesitated, hoping that he would
look up or say something more; but
he did neither.

“1—1 am going now. Good—by.”

“Good—by.”

It was the tone, not the words, that
brought a sudden dimness into her
eyes. She lingered still with her hand
on his shoulder. Then she slowly re-
moved it and stole out of the room.

As the curtain ceased swaying be—
hind her the pen dropped, and John
<Sarles covered his face with his hands.
He heard a carriage stop at the curb-
ing and the front door close with a‘
bang. He heard a man’s voice and a.
man’s gay laugh—both Lawrence Ken-
dall’s; then there was a rumble of
wheels, and he lifted his head with a
jerk. Something like a sob escaped
him.

“Lawrence,” she had said. It had
come to that, then! Lawrence! John
Sarles knew him well—knew how his
handsome face and winning smile en-
deared him to the hearts of women——
how he was sought after, potted, ad-
mired.

Ah, well, it was something, after all,
to be born with a handsome face and
straight, strong limbs. John Sarles
looked bitterly .t the crutch leaning
against his chair, and thought that be-
couse of it life had withheld much of
its sweetness from him. Wealth and
even the powerful intellect which put
him in touch with the brightest think-
ers of the day failed to make up to
him for that.

_ He had been onthe point of sink-
ing into the self-imposed isolation of a
proud, morose pature when Amber
came—Amber, the little (lat ghter of his
intimate friend, who, dying, had en-
trusted her to his care. .

Soon the music of her laughter had
chased away the ghostly echoes from
the lonely old house, and the light of
her happy eyes brightened every room.
Her books strewed the tables, her flow-
ers filled the long unused vases, her
gowns made bits of color against the
dark walls as she fiitted up—stairs and
down.

Gradually all became changed be-
cause of her. New furniture replaced
the old, new carpets covered the floors,
the conservatory blossomed with rare
plants. and a grand piano lit up a dark
recess of the library with its polished
ivory and rosewood.

By-and-by the little girl became a
maiden to whom every door was open,
and whose smile was a favor which
men considered as well-nigh precious:
and all the time that Amber was grow-
ing winsome and sweet and graceful
John Sarles was growing old and
wrinkled and gray. But his heart was
young as ever, and he loved Amber
with all the pent-up force of his na-
ture, and he suffered agonies because
of that love, feeling that she could
never, never be his.

One day a handsome boy of good
family came to ask him for Ambe’rz‘s
hand. Poor Johnl‘ He gave his con-
sent and blessing as well. What else
could he do. not knowing but that Am~
her loved him? And while the boy was

-plcading his cause, John sat in his

stray with as bitter a heartache as
ever man had.

Presently the door opened, but he
didn’t look up. And then came a
sweet, sobbing voice and the pressure
of two soft arms about his neck from
behind. .

“O guardy, guardy, are you tired of
me that you try to get rid of me so?”

He was suffocating with surprise and
joy “and terror, but he managed to
draw her around where he could see
her face, which was rosy with blushes
and persistently averted.

“Amber!” he cried. “Tired of you!
Want to get rid of you, Amber!”

And then, reassured by his tone, she
burst out passionately,—

“You, you must be, else you’d never
have sent him to me, when you know
I hate himL—hate them all but you!”

He drew her down on his knees at
that, and held her close in his tremb-

he did not kiss her. He could only
look at. the sweet, wet eyes and child-
like mouth, the round, soft cheek and
golden-brown hair, wondering, doubt-
ing, hoping all at once—he could not
have told which the most of the three.

That was two years ago—two blessed
years of such happiness that they
seemed to him like a long delightful
dream. Amber loved him, and Am-
ber was his wife. .

But of late a shadow had fallen be-
tween them—the shadow of Lawrence
Kendall. The fear that had numbed
John’s heart when he first beheld the
young man’s admiring gaze upon his
wife had ripened into fierce jealousy.

He had grown cold and austere in
his manner, causing Amber many tears
and much worriment. Once he had
been positively harsh toward her.
What else had he been'to-night? And
all the time his proud, sensitive nature
was suffering to its utmost capacity.

Dear little Amber! He could feel
the tears in, her eyes and the quiver of
her mouth though he could not see
them. The wistful pleading in her
voice had touched him to the quick.

How he longed to snatch her in his
arms—crumpling the dull yellow silk,
if he must, and rufliing the shiny hair,
for she used never to complain—and
kiss her over and over and tell her
how much he loved her, and how
sorry he was to hurt her by word or
look.

But no-his pride, his indomitable
pride, restrained him, and he had let
her go with her whole evening spoiled
because of it.

Ah, just wait, till she came in, tired
and cold and sleepy! Then he would
make all right. She would forgive
him~of course she would, the darling!
And they would be happy again as
they had been for weeks, sitting by
the fire together, she in the big crim-
son chair, and he on the ottoman at
her side, just where he could touch
her hand or cheek and kiss her when
he chose.

The firelight would dance on her hair
and bring out the soft color in her face,
and she would laugh and smile in the
old joyous way. What a fool he had
been—how cowardly and unreasonable,
to doubt his innocent darling even for
one moment!

It was two o’clock, and Amber
ought to have been home an hour ago.
What was it made John start and
tremble and pale as he glanced at the
clock? Were his fears confirmed?
Had his doubts become truths?

Hark! Was not that the sound of a
carriage pausing at the curbing? What
occasioned this unusual confusion in
the hall below?

John Sarles seized his crutch and
limped a few pacestoward the door,
but stopped as it was flung open, and
the figure of an old serving man ap-
peared on the threshold.

“Master—~” he began.

John Sarles’ lips moved but no sound
passed them.

“Master, I have come with the sad
news for you. There has been an ac-
cident—the horses ran away—and Miss
Amber—”

He caught John as he reeled and
fell, and answering the mute, awful
appeal of those. agonized eyes, con-
cluded,——— ' ‘ "

“Is hurt seriously, but not fatally.
They have just brought her home.”

Three months afterward, whenx
bursting buds and freshly sprouting
grass proclaimed that spring was at
hand, Amber was carried into her hus-
band’s study and propped up by pil-
lows and cushions on the sofa there.
Her face had lost its roundness and its
dainty color, and the beautiful brown-
gold hair was cut close to her head.

There was a great bunch of yellow
roses on the table at her side, and she
touched them lovingly, knowing that
John was watching her, and that he
had placed them there.

Presently he came and sat down on
the edge of the sofa—all their difier-
ences had long'since been made up—
and took her hands in his and held
them tenderly against his month.
There were tears in-his eyes, though
Arnber’s were clear enough.

“You dear old John,” she said, smil-

.ingly. “I believe you feel worse about

it than I do.” '

He sobbed.

“Well, you needn’t, you silly boy.”
She was silent a moment, and then she
said, musingly, “Do you know, I be-
lieveflI’m half glad—” A

“Oh, my darling, to be lame all your
life!”

“Yes, for don’t you see, we shalllsym-
pathize with one another more than
we ever have? And. oh, John—?

“Yes, Amber.”

“1 never realized before how patient
and dear you were until I was hurt. I
think I love you better than ever, if
that can be, and I am sure—quite.
quite sure, that this has been a blessed
lesson for both of us. aren’t you?” ’

And John, in his newer and clearer
wisdom, dared not deny it.—-lVaverly

.They Do Not Throw Their Quills.

The spines of the porcupines are
very loosely attached to the body and
they are verg sharp—as sharp as a nee-
dle at the outer end. At almost the
slightest touch they penetrate the nose
of a dog or the clothing or flesh of a
person touching the porcupine, and
stick there, coming away from the
animal without any pull being re-
quired. The facility in catching hold
with one end and letting go with the
other has sometimes caused people to
think that the spines had been thrown
at them. The outer end -of the spines,
for some distance down, is covered
with small barbs. These barbs cause
a spine once embedded in a living ani-
mal to keep working further in with
every movement of the muscles, so
that it is not a pleasant thing to get
stuck‘full of thein.—I‘:1'i'l:md Oregon-
