Trinco. Albert began his scientific studies In a humble way, but poorly 'equipped. Ho explored the Atlantic as ifnr as the coast of Newfoundland in a little sailing schooner, the llirondelle, accompanied by 14 men who constituted the crew and helped him in his work. Tho wonderful revelations of old Nep tune's kingdom decided II. 11. II. to ex tend his explorations in a more Bcien tilic nnd eluborute way. The result was the construction of a stenm vessel of 'l,400 tons, the "Princess Alice," perfect ly fitted out. Tho writer says: "Prince Albert's first Btudy of the 'Ocean was confined to the currents of 'the Atlantic, nnd he made maps follow ing the lines of his experiments which nre to-day consulted as authorities by seamen and scientists alike. Beyond discovering the currents themselves and srporatlng them, Frlnce Albert also settled, as nearly us possible, the speed ot the flow of these currents, nnd his figures thereon are still authoritative It wan after he h:id pursued his study of currents as far as possible that ALBERT, PRINCE OP MONACO. '(Distinguished as an Explorer and Ablt sciential. .Prince Albert undertook the study of nimal life'nt the bottom of the sea, and 'through his researches In this direction .he has become an authority without .TJcer. His scientific bureau in Paris con .tains his manuscripts, his printed 'works nnd his specimens without num "ber, ull of them resulting from his tire less, energetic execution of the work i-which he undertook as a mere pastim nearly 15 years ago. He has photo ijrnphcd the bottom of the sea, he has analyzed sea water taken from all .depths, and he has preserved all kinds of specimens of nnimal life taken from the varying depths at which he has "worked. He lias Invented apparatus without which the work of other In 'Testigators would be greatly hindered. 'Principal among these are a sounding 'machine and on, instrument for Btudy Sng the density of water." Everything that this unusual young (specimen of royalty does, from the . 'building of a French country seat to .' 'study In research, is done in a very royal fashion, and the fact that he is .dependent upon the quips and cranks .of Dame Fortune, whose fickle touch makes or mars thousands of lives in the palatini gaming rooms of Monte Carlo, goes to prove that no mntter how false (the be to the eager fortune seekers she is faithful to the prince In his rock' bound home on the Mediterranean.

Wr.shlngton Star. STORY OF A STOLEN KISS. "My dear Lesllo," said Henry Sey mour to his ward, "I do wish you would try to bo a little less fast; every one is talking about you aud It Is very painful to me." "My dear guordy," said tho young lady ho addressed, a very pretty girl, about eighteen, "what have I done? Just mention some of my slus and 1 will try to reform." "Well," said Sir Henry, "to begin with you are muck too fond of using slang expressions; I am sure you do not mean any harm, dear, but it does not Bound well. I wish you would adopt a more ladylike manner, like thoso nice, quiet girls, Colonel Bond's daughters. I assure you, Leslie, men do not care for fast girls, however much they may flirt with them, and I confess I bhould like to see you well married." "Now, my dear Sir Henry," said Les lie coaxlngly, "tell me, did you ever hear me say anything the least weeny bit improper?" "Certainly not. my dear child." "Then let me tell you those nlco, quiet, ladylike girls you admire so much say things that would make your i hear how they go on when we are by ourselves. I should be quite ashamed," she added, with energy, "to even think of the things they discuss rreely; in deed, I cut them whenever 1 can. As for marrying really, all the young men 1 know are such muffs or prigs 1 detest the whole lot. Whut is my next crime?" "You smoke cigarettes, Leslie," said her guardian sternly. "I was told you were actually seen with one between your lips out of doors the other night." Leslie hung down her head a little and then said, with a slight blush: "I cannot deny I tried one once, and indeed it was so nasty and made me feel so ill thnt I as-ure you I am not likely to do it again." "I am glad to hear it. So you think all young men muff or prigs? I hope to introduce to you one who answers neither description; you have of course heard of Captain Murray?" "Do you mean the Captain Murray who gained the Victoria Cross for de fending that fort so gallantly in the last campaign? Of course I remember1 all about him. Why" "He is coming home, and, being the son of an old friend, he has promised to pay me a visit, and I expect him shortly." "How delightful! 1 shall like to meet a real hero. I hope he is hand some." "Douglass Murray "van a very good looking lad, but you will not suit him, young lady; ho abhors 'fast girls,' and Is very fastidious.' "Well, 1 shall survive his disappro bation, I da.'e say. Amy will suit him to a T. She is such a demure little mouse. " And Miss Lindsay took her self off. In due time Captain Murray arrived. Leslie Lindsay was disappointed; she could hardly believe that quiet, unas suming young man could be the hero who had startled the whole civilized world Into admiration. To her guar dian's great annoyance she seemed to make a point of showing herself in hej worst colors, and when Sir Henry usk ed her whether sho thought Captain Murray a prig or a muff she declared he was both. One very hot day in July Leslie and Sir Henry's daughter, Amy Seymour, were returning from making a call. The drawing room windows opened on the veranda, which was covered with luxuriant creepers. It looked very cool and pleasant Inside on such a sultry day. The two girls were about to enter the room when Leslie, who was in advance, suddenly drew hack and pointed Inside. Amy peeped in. There was Captain Murray fast asleep in an arm chair near the window. ' "What a chance, Amy, for me to win a pair of gloves." "For shame, Leslie. You surely would not think of such a thiug." . "Who's afraid?" said Leslie.. "Ile Bides he is really fast asleep and will never know, and the temptation' is too much for me. Consider, the hero the whole world raves about," and with a mischievous look at Amy, sho stepped lightly in and dropped a kiss as light as a puff of thistledown upon the sleeper's forehead. As the sound of the girl's retreating footsteps died awoy Douglas Murray opened his eyes, und, tfiulllng to him- self, said: "I suppose that 13 considered a fast girl. I must confess I like her, and be lieve she Is really true and womanly. That fast manner Is all humbug. I must not forget to pay my debt, how ever," and ho laughed. "She thinks me a muff, I know. Never mind, that kiss was very nice I forgive her." A day or two afterward, as they were nil at breakfast, Sir Henry said: "I forgot, Leslie, here is something for you," hnndlng her a small packet, marked "Parcel Post." "What can It be, I wonder?" she said, as she cut the string; "the hand writing Is quite strange to me," and she was about to open It quite uncon cernedly when Amy remarked: "It Is Just the shapo of a glove box." Leslie started and looked gulltv across the tablt at Captain Murray, who was, however, going on with his breakfast. S''o took off the paper wrapper and disc ercd a white box it did look horribly like a glove box, Leslie thought, as sho lifted the cover and, yes, Inside lay several pairs of dainty kid gloves of different shades. Hoping nobody noticed her confus ion and not daring to look across the table sho was replacing the cover of the box when Captain Murray said very coolly: "I always pay my debts, Miss Llnd say; I do not like to feel under any obligation." Hastily seizing her parcel Leslie rose, and, murmuring something to Sir Henry about not feeling very well, she flew upstairs and locked herself into her room, where she had a good ery, After a little time she took a look at the gloves. "Just my size. I wonder how he knew; and six buttons and haw pret- ty they are. He is not quite such a 'prig' after all, but It makes no dif ference to mo now. He dislikes me know, and I wish he was gone." And then sho hod another good cry. Sir Henry Seymour had no reason to complain of his ward's conduct for the next few days hut she avoided Cap tain Murray, who tried in vain to get a chance to speak to her.. One morning, however, fortune fa vored him. He was In the garden and Leslie was walking toward him; sho was quite unconscious of hl3. proximity and they must meet in a moment more. When she saw him standing near she lifted her sweet blue eyes to his with a wistful, half-beseeching glance. "Miss Lindsay," said Douglas "shake hands with me, please. I am afraid I took a most unfair advantage of you; pray forgive me and let us be friends." "Oh, Captain Murray, 1 do feel so awfully ashamed of myself what must you think of me?" "Shall I toll you what I think of you, darling?" as he gently drew her toward him; "I think you a dear weet, lovable girl, and if you can put up with such a muff as I am as a hua band " "Oh, please don't," said Leslie, inter rupting him; "do not remind me of my impertinence. You are much too good for me, but indeed," wltit earnestness "I will never do it again!" "I call that positively unkind, I as sure you," said he, laughing. "1 do not care how many times you repeat the operation " Leslie has been Mrs. Murray now some yeaus, but her husband has never regretted he married a fast girl, whll she declares she has found from exper ience all men are not either prigs or muffs. London Evening News. Nut I mini Custom' The traveler who lands at Calais from Dover and stops there over night Is put into a bed having a hard round bolster, surmounted by a huge squaro pillow, very different from anything ol tho sort he has before seen, but which ho is destined to find perhaps to his great comfort wherever he goes in France. Here is a French fashion. The traveller who enters Switzer land It matters not where has hocey placed before him the first time he breakfasts or takes his tea. Ha has not been treated to honey before in any adjacent country in which ha. has traveled, not, at least, unless he has specially ordered It; but now li Is placed before him whether lie cares for it or not, and it continues to npptar 1 both at hreakfnst and tea, so long as he continues his sojournlngs In -i vitz erland. Here is a Swiss custom. One who .crosses from Frame to Germany exchanges customs In regard I to the time of day for taking dinner I and the tlms of night for retiring to rest. Tbe Frenchman eats but little In the morning or through the middle 1 of the day, reserving his dinner until the close of the day. The German dines at midday. So much Is this his practice, the very word for dinner sig nifies "midday's meal." And even fash ionable Germany goes to its evening's entertainment at half past six P. M., and is at home and in bod before the night has barely begun In London or Paris. I lore are German habits. The more one travels, the more, of course, he observes of these national peculiarities. He finds thera existing not merely In such outward matters as those just indicated, but in every de partment of life. So numerous, so deeply rooted, so widely prevailing nra these, peculiarities as to stamp inet lacvabiy the national character. Ilennty I Illooil Deep. Clean Mood menus a elenn skin.
