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. where the boy king and queen regent sit on occasions- of ceremony. Some- timm the daughters stand beside their mother. when it is proper for all the royal family to receive the court.— Chicago Times-Herald. ‘—"_."'l——.—'—."‘_ Speaker-“Reed's iteply.

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.

Cannot Get Them All for Thirteen Dollar 8 Month. . one of the heroesmn Cuba was given to indulging in the flowing bowl; not a mild indulgence, either, but a rip- roaring, whoop- snorting indulgence that is simply terrific in its mildest aspect. One day before he had floated over to the shores of the Gem of the Antilles, the colonel of his regiment called him into his tent for the pur- pose of talking to him like a father, as he had known him for years. “Now, look here. John,” said the colonel, kindly, w hat do you mean by th1s sort of thing?” “I' mean to quit, colonel,” Sponded. I “You’ve said that a million times. ' You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

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 York Sun. .Wonderf'nl Russian Jewels.

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 Independence. 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- phia Times. I shall be 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”- .vith great earnesrness—“I just cried to beat the band-I" 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 Commezcial. , Excellent Eflectj “I suppose, Henry,” said the old gentleman to the new son-in-law, “that you are aware the check for $5,000 I put among your wedding presents was merely for effect?” “Oh, yes, sir,” responded the cheer- 1'111 Henry, “and the effect was excel- lent.
