Madcaps on Thrones. - Countries that Have Been Ruled By Crazy People. The throne of the Hapsburgs has been oc- | cupied by a half dozen madcaps, that of the Hohenzollerns by at least three, since the death of the Great Elector. In Russia, as in ancient Rome, about every other Caesar seems to provoke the attention of the Quixote killer, and in Italy eccentricity in purple was once so prevalent that Peter Aretino proposed to make the use of helle- bore a royal prerogative. Spain, once the favorite of the Fortuna Prodiza, has been systematically ruined by crowned cranks. But in France the imminent risk of a similar experience seems to have cured the worshipers of Caesarism, and it might be seriously questioned if all the possible ‘benefits of benevolent absolutism,’’ to- gether with the advantages of the most lib- eral constitutional monarchy, can out- weigh the perils incident to the rule of a constitutional lunatic. For the conse- quences of that affliction may not be limit- ed to a single age or nation. A.D. 27 a Roman chemist offered the Emperor Tiber- ius the patent for the process for ‘‘pro- ducing a metal whiter than silver, cheaper than iron and lighter than wood,’”’ but fearing an infringement of more profitable monopolies, the unspeakable old savage ordered the execution of the inventor, and thus deprived the world of a recipe for manufacturing aluminum at a penny a pound. The royal dotard who effected the expul- sion of the industrions Moors doomed Southern Spain to a state of perhaps irre- mediable desolation and infested Northern Africa with legions of vendetta fiends. The war-mania of Charles XII, led to complications that provoked the partition of Poland, besides depriving Sweden of two fertile provinces, and the insane tyran- ny of Ferdinand II, sowed the seeds that infested Southern Italy with the tares of anarchism. Archangel a White City. For three months in the winter Arch- angel, now to become the great Western port of Russia, scarcely sees the sun, and, for three months in the summer seldom loses sight of it. Yet there is no city in the whole of Europe which lies for so many months—for the greater part of the year, in fact—under the mantle of snow; and be- cause of this the Russian fondly calls it **The White City.”” White, too, it is in other ways. All the chief buildings glare with white paint and blink with white blinds. The churches—and in a Russian city they are not few—are also of pure white; only the cupolas are green, and the crosses on their summits gold. And white are the private houses of the better sort— except where Norwegians and Germans live; buff and blue and red then streak and dilaper the pine wallsand edge the gable ends. But street posts, gates, pillars, walls, fences—these are all white. And in the summer, for every official you see in a blue or a gray tunic, you see ten in white caps and white uniforms. Dying Wish Unheeded. Books on Atheism Were not Burned at Reformed in- fidel’s Grave. The request of Marcus A. Miller, of Binghamton, N. Y.,the atheist who repent- ed before death, that two works of Robert G. Ingersoll be burned at his grave, was not carried out. Mr. Miller said that he wished the books to be burned to show his repudiation of his faith in the noted infidel. The funeral was held Friday. Every arrangement had been made to carry out the dying man’s request. The books were taken to the cemetery. At the last moment the family of the dead man refused to let the books be burned. The Masons, of which Mr. Miller was a prom- inent member, had been instrumental in preventing the display. Asa society they place their belief in the Bible, and they said that if the plan was carried 6ut 1t would be admitting that they had admit- ted as a member a man who was an infidel. Rev. Samuel Dunham, who promised to burn the hooks, says they will be burned a ihe grave, but it will not be done pub- icly. The Spool-pest in Forests. The white-birch forests of Maine are threatened with obliteration by the ordin- ary little spool, on which thread is wound. White-birch is the only wood much used for making them, and so great is the con- sumption that the trees have a hard time to supply the demand. The spool mills now use thirty-five or forty million feet of birch timber every year, turning out 800,000,000 spools. Somebody has figured out that enough thread could be wound on these spools to reach around the earth at the equator 3600 times. Besides the immense quantity of timber used here, fifteen or twenty million feet of itis shipped to Scot- land every year in the form of spool bars. Turned Down. ‘It is true,’’ said Miss Welloph, ‘‘that I have a fair income, but I have to be care- ful of it.’? “Don’t you think,’’ said Mr. Forchenr Hunt, ‘‘tHat it would be well to marry some one who could help you to take care—’’ ‘Pardon me,’’ she interrupted, ‘‘but I’m not prepared to ‘husband my re- sources’ in that way. THE INSTALLATION A GREAT SUSCESS— For some inexcusable reason the account of the installation ceremonies and reception Templar, No. 33, in the armory Friday evening, the 19th, was crowded out of last week's paper and is published this week not that it is especially good but because the affair was worthy of notice and a most en- joyable one. . Fortunate indeed were the people who were privileged to be there for it was the biggest social affair of the kind that has been held here for many a day and it was, moreover, a splendid success in every par- ticular. The Commandery has not often opened its doors and exchequer to the pub- lic, for its last fine function was on Sept. 29th 1886, but when it does it spares neith- er means nor trouble to bring abont memor- able and most satisfactory results. Prom- inent Knights and Masons were present from Philadelphia, Altoona, Philipsburg, Tyrone, Williamsport, Lock Haven and all the neighboring towns and despite the pelting rain there were more than five hun- dred guests entertained. The armory was decorated and resplen- dent with the emblems and colors of the order and there was a brilliant showing of beautiful gowns and fine uniforms. During the rites of the installation the visitors were seated on either side of the armory facing the centre. The Coleville band was grouped on the stage, which was screened with palms and plants, while directly in front of the stage were the presiding officers and the chairs for the newly installed ones. The members of the Commandery and their fellow Knights occupied seats at the end of the armory, facing the stage, thus leaving a large parallelcgram in the centre of the room for their evolutions and marching. They were to have come down in a body, in their fall regalia, from their rooms on Allegheny street but the unfavorable weather prevented that feature of the pro- gram. Wilson I. Fleming, who is the grand senior warden of the grand commandery of Pennsylvania,division commander of Divi- sion No. 11 and who is in a direct line, on- ly three years removed, of becoming the highest officer of ‘the commandery of the State, was the installing officer. He isa distinguished and splendid looking man ordinarily,and when decked out asa plumed Knight in a handsome umform he fairly graced the position—and he officiated pro- ficiently and without the least conscious- ness of self. With him Col. Wilbur F. Reeder presided to assist with the induc- tions and make the proclamation, which was quite the affective number of the pro- gram. An installation service is expected to be impressive but fortunately the solemnity of the occasion was well bal- anced by the evident consciousness of the Sir Knights of the lay of their feathers and hang of their swords. To a disinterested outsider there wasn’t any particular dis- tinction in the ceremonies installing the different officers except that the Eminent Commander was allowed to march around the room by himself and after he was in- stalled he was given as were the General- issimo and Captain General a high, throne like chair in front while the remaining officers were initiated in a lump and seat- ed with the populace. Rev. George Isaac Brown, of the Episco- pal church, led the devotional exercises and the program was varied by five musical numbers—a march by the band, dedicated to the Commandery, three appropriate se- lections by a quartette, composed of Miss Ella Twitmire, Mrs. J. C. Meyers, D. E. Wentzel and H. P. Harris and a fine bari- tone solo by Mr. Wentzel. At the conclu- sion of the ceremonies the newly commis- sioned officers received their friends and congratulations while a concert was given by the band. Then came the collation served by Ceaders. It was not only very good but it afforded an excellent oppor- tunity for the timid Knights to get in their kind little acts of hospitality and show themselves useful as well as ornamental. The dance, which followed, was seemingly enjoyed by young and old for so many participated in it. The music was furnish- ed by Chappell’s orchestra of Williamsport and it was three o’clock hefore the festivi- ties began to lag. That the entire evening was an enjoyable one goes without saying and the staying qualities of the guests demonstrated its success. Even the crested and handsomely engraved programs evi- denced the care Col. Reeder, Harry Keller, A. C. Mingle, George T. Bush and W. I. Fleming, the committee in charge, had ex- pended on the arrangements and all of the details redounded to their credit. The representatives of the Hospitaler Commandery, of Lock Haven, and the Baldwin II Commandery, of Williamsport, left by special train that night while the other visiting Commanderies, the Mos- hannon, of Philipsburg, and the Mountain, of Altoona, remained in town until Satur- day morning. Constans Commandery, Knights Templar, No. 33 was chartered June 30th 1868 and instituted July 24th. S. T. Shugert, D. G. Bosh and Constans Curtin were the prime movers and organizers of the Com- mandery, which was for many years one of the most prosperous in the State. Its most memorable achieviment was the en- tertaining of the Grand Copimandery at its twenty-first annual conclave in 1874. Since of membership and property. When the Lock Haven Commandery was orgamzed a number of members withdrew. Then the lodge rooms were entirely destroyed by fire in 1887 and the membership was further diminished when the Philipsburg com- mandery was formed in 1882. Its prospects are of the best just now and it is healthy and prosperous with a membership of over given by Constans Commandery, Knights - then, however, it has suffered severe losses | Wickless Blue Flame 0il Stove. will boil, bake, broil or fry better than a coal stove. is safe und cleanly— can not become greasy, can not emit any odor.

Considerable excitement prevails at Thomasville, Ga., because of the vigorous attack made on progressive euchre playing by Judge A. W. Fite. Superior Court con- vened in regular order to-day and Judge Fite who is presiding in the absence of the regular Judge, scored gambling in general and particularized progressive euchre play- ing where prizes are offered. ‘I am aware, said the Judge, in making his charge, ‘‘that progressive euchre play- ing is very popular in society circles and is played in the houses of some of the most most estimable ladies of your acquaintance, but that does not excuse it. The law specifies that whenever playing with cards is indulged in for a consideration, whether the same is gambling, illegal and punish- able with as little mercy as that extended to the most hardened criminal. I am aware that it is asking a good deal of you, gentle- men, to take this matter under serious to faithfully discharge your oaths as jurors.” Thomasville is the Winter home of han- dreds of wealthy Northern people, who in- dulge in the prohibited game, frequently for prizes of great value. An Island Owned by Birds. Laysan island is one of the wonder spots of the world. On this little lump of rock and land, poking up its nose in mid-Pacific, so many thousands of birds gather year by year to lay their eggs and rear their young that one can scarcely step anywhere on the narrow confines of the island without tread- ing on a bird, a bird’s nest or a bird’s egg. Laysan is the most favored bird-home in creation. On the map Laysan, or Moller island, will be found among a number of small isles, rocks and reefs that stretch away in a northwesterly direction from the Sandwich group—Necker, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner, Maro Reef and Lisiansky. Laysan is three miles in length and two and a-half miles in breadth. Itis sprinkled with vegetation in the form of strong, bushy grass and some low shrubs, between which a few pigmy palms struggle for existence. A long lagoon stretches across, filled with remarkable salt water. No fresh water ex- ists on the island; a curious fact, consider- ing the number of land birds that make it their nesting-place—Pearson’s Magazine.
