Found in the Reservoir. ~ .- '
The body of a woman of middle age,
well dressed and of evident refinement,
was found in the Hartford reservOir
about 10 o’clock yesterday morning.
There was nothing on the - body by
which the woman’s identity could 'be
established, but late last night she was
identified as Miss Alice I. Patton, a
woman of independent means, who has
lived for several years in Hartford.
Miss Patton’s family formerly lived
in Waterbury, where her father at one
time kept the famous book store, called.
the “Book Haunt,” which is now 'con-

WANTED HIS JADE DECORATION IN.
Then He Couldn't Understand \‘Vherc the
Other Eye Was 1n the Profile.
Mr. Landor, in his entertaining
book, “The Land of_ the Morning
Calm, ” tells this story of the eminent'
P1.ince.Min of Goren-.who induced Mr .
The'
Lander to paint his portrait.
artist thus describes the scene:
For three hours he sat motionless
and Speechless like a statute,
“It is finished,” I finally said, and he
sprang up in a childélike fashion and
came over to look at the work. ,His
delight wasunboun'ded, and he seized
my hand and shook it most "emphatic-
ally.
After this he suddenly became grave,
at the back of it. He seemed horri-
fled.
“What is it?” I inquired of his royal
highness.
“You have not put in my jade deco-
ration," said he, almost in despair.
I had, of course, painted his port-
rait full face, and as the Coreans'fhave
the strange: notion of wearing their
decorations in the shape of. a small
button of jade, gold, Silver, or amber
behind the left ear, these, of course,
did not appear thereon. No explana-
tion of the theory of European art’
would satisfy the sitter, so' to pacify
him I executed a rapid sketch of his
profile, bringing in the ornament.
“’I 'hat is all very well, ” he said, “but
Where is the other eye?”
An Easy “fay t'n Ca‘ptn'fé' a Tarpon.
,. A peculiar incident happened to the
steamer Florida, says the Star, which
runs from Pensacola to Choctawatch4
ie. On her trip up the steamer had a
side, and in some mysterious way a
tarpon or silver fish got fast between
the steamer and the lighter which she
had- alongside, and in trying to free it-
self it jumped aboard the steamer. The
monster weighed 175 pounds and
measured 6 feet, 4 inches in length.
This is one of the gamest fish in
Southern waters when caught with a
hock and line, and is the first one that
has been caught in this vicinity in
fifteen years.
'No More Crawling:
One of the results of the advanced
ideas of the present King of Siam has
been the abolition of the c1awling in-
dulged in by courtiers in the mon-
arch’s presence. It used to be the
custom at Bangkok for no one to ad-
vance towards the king except on all
fours, and when, forty years ago, the
Siamese ambassadors were received
by our Queen, it was in this ridicu-.
lous fashion that they came, bearing
presents in what hands they could
spare, from the difficult process of
peregrination.

ROYALTY’S TRADES
. MANY OF THEr——_ CROWNED HEADS OF
EUROPE SPEND TIME AT LABOR.

I an unhealthy condition of the kidneys

A Number of the Most; Humble Trades 0f kidney trouble- _T-00 frequent de51re
Seem -to Take the Fancy of the Noted:
Workman—King Humbert a Shoemaker
and President Faure a Locksmith.
We know a good deal about the sov-
ereigns of Europe, but how few of us
are aware of the fact that almost every
one of them is skilled at some trade
and could doubtless, in case of neces-
sity, earn a,livelih'ood thereby! An
ingenious French gentleman has de-
voted a good deal of time to‘ this 'sub-
ject, and we are indebted to him for.
'muCh of the following information: —-
President Faure;.df. France, accord-
ing to this gentleman, is‘ an admirable
locksmith, and spends _‘ many leisure
hours in practising his trade. No new
invention appertaining thereto escapes
his eye, and no one is better able to
judge as to its usefulness. In.han-
filing the necessary tools the President
is said to be exceptionally deft; indeed, ‘
those who have seen him work describe
him as a first class locksmith.
The tastes of Czar Nicholas lie In a.
Farming is his
hobby. There is nothing about the
Russian method of agriculture which
he does not know, and this knowledge
has come to him, not from books, but
through long and steady practice. Be-
fore ?he became Emperor he spent some
years in the Caucasus, and while there
he devoted much of his time to farm-
ing. The imperial estates there are
of vast extent, and nothing pleased the
heir to the crown more than to wander
over them, watching the superintend-
ent and farm hands at work, and occa-
sionally taking a. hand at the plough
himself. '
Typesetting is said to be the favorite
pastime of the German Emperor. “This
restless dreamer,” says ourinformant,
“is a skilled compositor. Like the
monks of old, who used to spend many
an hour in illuminating manuscripts,
he loves to Spend his leisure in picking
out type from the cases and in placing
them in forms. To give birth to words
in this fashion is his supreme delight.
King Humbert of Italy is a shoe-
maker. No better judge of leather than
he, and apparently few more skilled at
cutting leather and’ at fashioning shoes
therefrom. We are told that he plies
his tools with uncommon dexterity,
and that he takes special pains to make
shoes of an elegant. appearance. Utili-
ty, however, is neye'r sacrificed to beau-
ty. He believes in strong shoes, and
hence those which he makes will wear
to the last thread. Still, he is an artist
in his way, as is clearly shown by the
fact that he will never condescend to
repair shoes. That is a work for a jour-
neyman, not for a creative a1 tist.
. Like ,Mr. Gladstqse_..King Oscar.-.of.
Sweden is vernyOnd of cutting down
trees. In his dominion there are perr,
haps more lofty pine trees than any-11
~where elsein the world, and nothing
delights the monarch more than to
take a holiday and go out into ,the- £01,“:-
est with his destructive aisle in hand.
He is known far and wide as an ex-
pert woOdcutter, and this is no small
distinction, as any one Who has tried to; »;
fell a tree will readily admit.
“The Prince of Wales ” says our
French guide, “is a fine weaver, and
frequently manages to kill time b31111:
fashioning cunning devices of weal and' "
thread. He has, already woven.Several
fine carpets and quilts, and, as he
shows. as mudh zeal in the work as
ever, he will doubtless weave a great
many more. ” .
Rope making is the Duke of York’
hobby He has a spacious werkshop,
in which he makes stout rapes for
ships, as well as hammocks and straw
matting. These he distributes'among
his friends, and'it need hardlybe said
that the demand for work-from the
royal workshop is constantly'increas-
ing.
“Every member of the royal family
of Great Britain, ” we are told, “is more
or less skilled at some trade. Such was
Queen ’Victoria’s wish, and surely it
was a wise one. Though her'children
and grandchildren will never have to
earn their bread, no matter what po-
1itical revolutions may occur, it is well
for each and all of them to know some
useful trade at which they can pass
their idle moments profitably.” I
, Another famous man who is a sover-
eign in his own way is also a trades—
man. Tolstoi can make as good a pair
-of shoes as any man in Russia, and
there are few tailors who can excel him
in making a well fitting suit of clothes.
