A Story of Queen'XVilhelmina. .
The National Magazine tells this
story of Queen\Vilhelmina: “Two of
the court children were missing one
day, and grave fears were entertained
as to the probability of their having
been kidnapped. A prolonged and
careful search resulted in finding no
traces of them, and twu attendants
were arrested as suspicious charac-
ters. On further inquiry it was learn-
ed that these two children were last
seen playing with the little Queen the
previous day.“ On questioning her as
to their whereabouts she said they
were locked up in an old cellar that
could be reached from the courtyard.
It seemed they refused to do her bid
ding, and so. exercising her preroga-
tive as chief executive of the king-
dom, she had imprisoned them for re-
bellion.”

The Emperor of China is a. newspa-
per editor, and his paper, which is cali—
ed the “Pekin Gazette,” is a very re-
markable production. The unique dis-
tinction belongs to it of having been
issued daily for upwards of eight hun-
dred years. Its circulation is limited
to a single copy of each issue, which is
nailed up on a big board outside the
Purple City, where the Emperor re-
sides. The “Pekin Gazette”, is the or-
gan of the Court, and it contains some
sixteen pages, which are all news, no
advertisements ever being permitted to
vulgarize them. Most of the articles
are dictated by the Emperor, and they
usually consist of official acts and re-
ports. The Emperor’s sub-editor is his
mother.
Five Hours to Washington via Royal Blue Line.
Three new trains daily from New
York, make the quickest time between
here, Philadelphia, Baitimore and
Washington, reaching the latter city
in 5 hours. They depart from Central
R. R. of New Jersey station boat of
Liberty street at 11:30 a. m. 1:00 p. m.
and 3:00 p. m. South Ferry boat of
Whitehall street, 5 minutes earlier.
The latter train is known as the, “Royal
Blue Limited,” composed entirely of
parlor and (lining cars that were built
especially for this service by the Pull-
man Palace Car Company. and are con-
ceded to be the finest specimens of the
car builder’s art turned out in modern
times. A. general change ol‘time on
the Royal Blue Line occurred Novem-
ber 20th, involving other fast trains
through to Philadelphia.Baltim0re and
Washington.

The object of all practice is to estab-
lish that reflex action of the muscles
known as mental automatism. This is
best secured by. practising a diflicult
passage a great many times at so slow
a tempo that there is time for deliber-
ate thought in advance of the muscular
action.
When the passage has been played,
say, ten times in this manner without
the slightest variation from the correct
order of notes, fingering, touch and
shading, exactly doube the speed. At
this new tempo there will be time for
thought. .
After, say, eight repetitions without
error, again double the speed. There is
now no time for thinking each separate
note, but the passage must be conceived
“in a. lump,” so to speak, or exactly as
we read a word without stOppin'g to
think of the letters of which it is com-
posed. At the appearance of the least
mistake return to the slow tempo, and
gothrough the series as before.

. Robbed the Grave
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Phila. Pa., was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful conditim.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually grov-
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
cians had given me up. Fortunately,
a friend advised trying ‘Electrlc Bit-
ters;’ and to my great joy and surprise,
the first bottle made a decided improve-
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and - am now a well man. I
,know they saved my lifewand robbed
the graveof-another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50

Officers of the Government have been
obliged to eject 85,000 sheep from'Yo-
seniite Park. To teach the owners
who have so little regard for Govern-
ment property ‘a lesson the-animals
should have been confiscated. Noth~

persons realize the proprieties.
According to the agricultural papers
the farm products of the United States
this year will be worth at least $1,000,—
000.000 more than in 1895. The balance
of trade in favor of this country dur-
ing the past two years reaches the
‘same amount. This nation could carry
on a tolerably expensive war out of
its annual profits alone.
There is a great deal of talk about
the suffrage in the Louisiana Consti-
tutional Convention, but one of the
state papers tells the delegates that
the man who will devote his energies
to measures for the relief of the maim-
edconfederate soldiers, and the other
man who will labor to further the
cause of education will be the true
heroes, and will be largest and most
gratefully remembered by the people
of the Pelican State.
If battle-ships are to be faster and

they must'be larger. The speed of
Cervera’s ships was‘due to the fact ~
that they were protected rather than
armored. But battle-ships must be
completely encased in heavy armor.
and to be swift the size of the engines
must be considerably enlarged. Such
vessels will require deep harbors and
immense docking facilities. All of
these conditions can and will be met
in the future American navy, but the
problem is not as simple as might be
supposed.

A new device, by which every can-

inventor sho’ws some strong testimo-
nials of its efficiency. Various plans

In resources, agricultural and miner-
al, Cuba is one of the very richest isl-
ands iu the world. But under oppres-
sive taxationand the worst imagina-
ble administration the greater part of
the country remains an untamed, un-
used wilderness. The coming invasion
of American merchants and manufac-
turers will quickly change all that.
There will be roads built—which is the
first necessity. The rude trails that
render the transport of goods almost
. impossible will give place to thorough-
fares of modern construction. Bridges
will safely span streams that new bar
the way to trade and intercourse. Rail.
roads and'telegraph, built by American
energy and with American capital,
will lace the country. Its waste
places will be converted into fertile
‘ fields. \VVay will be opened for the
marketing of crops that it has not hith-
erto been worth while to grow, and
minerals which it has been a needless
waste of toll to dig out of the ground
Whatever may be decided as to the
political future of Cuba, ’its industrial
and commercial. future will be direct-
ed by American enterprisennd stimu-
lated with American capital. Thll

Royal Blue-Line’s Five Hour Trains.

Liberty street, at 11:30 a. 111., 1:00 p m. ..
and 3:00 p. m; South Ferry, foot of
Whitehall street, 5 minutes earlier,
daily. The latter train, known as the
“Royal Blue Limited.” has a counter-
part that leaves Washington .t the
some hour, reaching New York at 8:00
. m. Both these. trains were built
especially for this service by the Pull-
man Palace Car company, and are con-
ceded to be the finest specimen of car
construction of the present age. The
“Limited" is made up entirely of par-
lor and dining cars. In addition to
above a general change of time in the
Royal Blue Line service took place on
