SPAIN’S ROYAL PALACE.

’ It In One of the Most Beautiful Structure!

In the World.

The royal palace at Madrid is one of
the most beautiful structures in the
world, being built by an Italian archi~
tect in the early part of the last cen-
tury, at a cost of $5,000,190, and was in-
tended to be a. rival to the French pal-
ace at Versailles. The material is
white marble and is 470 feet each way.
wlth ‘a court 240 feet square, roofed
with glass. Few places are more tires
some to visit than palaces, with their‘
long rows of gorgeously decorated
chambers. gilt furniture and everlast-
ing mirrox‘s,~.but the Case. Real at.Ma-
drld is very interesting and contains a
remarkable library of 100,000 volumes,
including priceless papers, pictures,
'bronZes and humble. says the Inter-
national Magazine.

The stairway of Spain's royal palace
is a noble structure of black and white
marble, and is guarded by four statues
of Roman emperor‘s who were natives
of Spain—Trajan, Adrian. Honorlus
and Theodosius. 0n the first floor are
thirty large saloons, the chapel and the
library: on the second floor the royal
family and the members of the court
reside. The palace is said to contain
over 700 clocks. which were collected
by Ferdinand VIL, no two of them be-
ing alike.

The throne room of Spain is a. mag-
nificent apartment of crimson and gold,
with colossal .mirrors and a. chandelier
of rock crystal that is considered the
finest example of the kind in the world.
Under the gorgeous canopy are two
large chairs handsomely carved and
gilded and upholstered in crimson bro-
cade. These are the thrones of Spain.

Speaker-“Reed's iteply.

Speaker Reed recently wished to see
a political friend on some very impor-
tant business and telegraphed him to
come at once to Washington. The
friend took the first train, but a. wash-
out on the road stopped him. Going to
a. "telegraph office he sent this mes-
sage: “Washout on the line; can't
come." To which, in due time, he re-
ceived the following reply from the
Maine statesman: “Buy a new shirt
and come anyway."

his rich timber limit, including a saw-
mill Which is earning $1350 a day net,
to the J os'eph Ladue Gold Mining and

A PLAINSPOKEN DRESSMAKER.

Her Blunt Remarks Not Always Enjoyed

There is a certain dressmaker in a
New England village who always
finds customers in spite of her lack of
tact. Though “she innocently offends
one patron after another she does not
lose them. Her ruffles are too. even,
and her biases too- far above reproach.
Here is a specimen of her conversation
while she “fits" a customer.

“I guess I’ll cut this a little mite
lower. You’ve got a real pretty neck.”
Then, when the customer unconscious-
ly bridlcs with satisfaction, she adds,
“It’s your one good point.” She goes
on snipping and pinning. “There!"
she exclai-ms. standing off to view the

make allowances when I cut!" The
customer begins to'feel herself 11 mon-

continues, “Why, I never saw that

again. “But I guess I won’t make the
sleeves any shorter for that. You see

Anyone Good Enough for 3 Bishop.

Bishop Lawrence. of Massachusetts,
tells a good story on himself and Pres-
ident Eliot, of Harvard. When Phil-
lips Brooks was elected Bishop a- few
years ago, President Eliot met. Dr.
Lawrence. who was then dean of the
Episcopal Theological School, at Cam-
bridge, and said to him: “The Church
has made the greatest mistake of a
lifetime. Brook‘s was the pivot around
which we revolved in Boston: now you
have spread him all over the State.
Any one would have done for Bishop.”
Years after, when Phillips Brooks had
gone to his reward, and Dean Law-
rence had been chosen in this place, he
met President Eliot in the street again.
The latter was warm in his congratu-
lations. “My dear ,Bishop,” he said.
“I must congratulate you. The Church
couldn’t have made a better selection.
I thought you should have been the
choice when Brooks was chosen.”-

"AMERICAN CLOTH ESPINS

Used About Everywhere on the Globe
“'horo the \Vasll is Hung Out to Dry.
Wherever the wash is hung out to

dry, .all the world over, it is more than

likely to be pinned on the line with

American Clothespins. Americans sell

Clothespins practically everywhere—

all over Europe, in South Africa. South

America, Australia and elsewhere.

Some Clothespins are made. for "the

supply of local markets, in Sweden

and in Scotland, but they are big and
clumsy pins, twice the size of the

Americans. and whittled out by hand.

and American pins are sold in both

these countries in competition with
the home production. _

Clothespins are made chiefly of
beech and of maple; some are made
of tupelo wood. They are made on-
tirely by machinery, counted into
boxes, containing 720 each. by mn-
chinery, and the boxes are nailed up
by machinery. It might almost be
paid that blocks of wood fed to ma-
chines at one end ceme out boxed
Clothespins at the other. They are
made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are twogrades of Clothespins;
firsts and seconds. First grade pins
can be bought for thirty-five cents a
box.

The production of clothespins is
enormous, millions of boxes annually.
The consumption in this country keeps
pace with the growth of the popula—
tion, and great numbers are exported.

Even people in the trade wonder what

becomes of all the clothespins.—-New

Iare kept in the emperor’s private
lvaults, is to be reduced to a state of
bewilderment bord ing on idiocy. It

bought even one Russian belt set with
turquoise enamel, to think of all the
trappings of a horse, bit, bridle, sad-
dle-girth, saddle-cloth, and all, made of
cloth of gold and set in solid turquoise
enamel; with the sword hilt, scabbard,
belts and pistol handle and holster

THE AMERICAN SAILOR OFI'TO-DAY. (

The Black Sheeuof the Family No Longer ‘
Eligible in the Navy. .
Jacky, who used to be more sailor
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just in proportion as he has
ceased to be a part of the great en-
gine on which he lives, so he has come
more and more into the control of it.
And as the cardinal purpose of a War-
ship i-s to hit things with her pro-
jectiles. Jacky has become a specialist
in getting that work out of her. He
does it in two places-at the» guns and
at the engines. » Correctly pointed guns
are of no use unless the platfomn- on '
which they rest is put in proper re-
lation to the thing to be 'hit, and kept
there; equally it is useless to get' the
ship into proper place unless the guns
are correctly pointed. Men who can
do either of these things must have.
natural capacities, and be susceptible
to education, and only men of this
sort are eligible for our navy.
Accordingly the “beach-ember,” or
the “rock-scorpion," many other va—
riety of that ruck of marine refuse
which drifts around the great mari-
time ports and
where grub is plenty and work light,’
no longer slings his hammock on Un-
cle Sam’s berth deck, as he used to do
to the shame of the seryice in years
gone by. Nor can the tramp, nor the
jail bird, nor even the incorrigible
black sheep of the family thus be pro-'
vided for to the relief of constables
and long suffering relatives. No man
or boy can now pass a United States
naval recruiting officer unless he is
clean, healthy, honest. young, strong
and intelligent; nor can he afterward
get that advancement, which is cer-
tainly open to him without fear or fa-
vor, unless he continues to show apti-
tude and ability.--Park Benjamin in

ASKED FOR A SHIRT, GOTA WIFE.

An Incident of in. Civil War-A Kind
Act Renpo Its Reward.

The following is given because of
the valuable suggestion it may con-
tain for our young soldiers. It is the
story of a clean shirt and 1how it gain-
ed one man a good wife.

During the civil war there was a
young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do a great
deal for the Confederate soldiers con-
fined in prisonat Washington. Young.
beautiful. cultured. of a wealthy and
prominent family. she was frequently
allowed admission to the prison, whith-
er she always took her maid with a
well stocked basket of good things for
the poor boys behind the bars. One
day ,as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison,
she Stopped and said to them:

"‘If there is anything that you would

won’t you let me know?
very glad. ”

One man stepped forward premptly. ’
Bowing most courteously, he said:

"If you will be so kind, I would
like very much to have a clean shirt."

He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana. one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and
when that young lady looked up into
his brown eyes she found it in her
heart to give him much'more than a
clean. shirt, for she, married him as
soon as the war was oven—Philadel-

An Opportumty Seized.

A certain little girl, living not far

from New York, has always Ihad im-
pressed on her youthful mind—some-
times at the cost of rather painful ex-
periences—that it is wrong to cry. She
had become firmly convinced that this
was a rule without exceptions, when
suddenly an exception presented it-
self. The little girl was astonished,
but rose nobly to the occasion, and
this is the story thereof as told by a
friend of the family:
' The little girl’s baby brother died,
and the friend, meeting her soon af-
terward, sympallmsd with her re-
garding the loss.

“Yes,” said the child, “and when he
died, papa cried and mamm-a cried.
Then I cried a little, too. Mamma said
it was right for me to cry this time,
because my little brother was dead,
so I cried harder and harder; why”-

Shipping Molten Iron by Rail.
Shipping molten iron by rail is a
3in stroke of economy to be wit-

nessed at Duquesne, Pa.‘ The molten
iron as it is topped from the furnaces
runs into an immense mixing ladle
having a capacity of 250 tons, and
from this it is poured into the 20- ton
ladle cars, the ladies being made of
sheet steel or iron, with a lining of re-
fiactorymaterial. The cars are then
hauled by a locomotive to the steel
works, where the direct conversion of
the'molten iron into open-earth steel is
made. avoiding all the expense of
casting the metal into pigs and cool-
ing, handling, reloading, reheating and
remelting the pig metal. —New Yor‘k
