The young king of Spain stands on his dignity and make his small com panions know the difference between a reigning sovereign and a rtubject While staying at St Sebastian he was accustomed to bathe and swim and play with a certain young count, and every thing went on well until one day, when playing at fives, the count lort his temper end gave the king's ball an angry hit bar k. In doing so it struck the king. He did not say a word, but his face flushed, and there was a look in his ab normally large eyes that the count had never seen I fere. Instead of apologiz ing the count grew defiant, and the same thing occurred again. Alfonso picked up his hat, aud, bowingy etifliy, be said, 'Count, I cannot have for my frit nd ci:y cue v. ho is so rash aa to lose his temper et play." The counti ss, deeply distressed at what had occurred, sought an interview with the qui-eu. When she was ushered into In r pn w e, he found the king was there, and, not liking to tell her mission before him, began to speak on other subjects, tut the king guessed why she had come, and, after greeting htr. he said, "I am sorry to lose the so ciety of your son, but a king has his dignity to kef pup, and bad manners are worse titan bad play." Philadelphia Lt-dger. Recognized by His Lrgw. When ArehbisJjop Tait was visiting at a country house in the Highlands of Scotland, some years ago, he went down one morning to the postofBce to send a telegram to his brother, Sheriff Tuit, and he wrote the direction, "The arch bishop of Canterbury to Sheriff Tait" The old postmaster read the words in contemptuous tones, and then, looking at him over his spectacles, said: "The archbishop of Canterbury! And wba may ye be that takes this cognomen?" The archbishop, with a homely wooi m comforter wound about his neck to keep out the chill air, was painfully cou.scious that he might find it hard to prove his identity. It was a relief to him when on fttid thoughts the post master r lented -co far as to inquire, "May be ye're the gentleman himself?" Tait replied, "For want of a better, I am. " The eld Scot saw the mistake into which he had fallen and was profuse in bis apologies. "I might have seen you were rather consequential about the logs. " Theu, in order to send the arch bishop away in good heart, be added, "I have a sou in London, a Lid in a shop and be gaed to hear ye preach one day and was verra weel satisfied." Pitts burg Dispatch. A Pair of Shoes. One of the big Lynn shot-shops mad? a pair of ladies' boots for the Pans ex hibition of I860 in 24 minutes. A no tary public followed the operation.watcb. in hand. For this feat the pair of shoes went through the usual routine of the shop, but at exceptional speed. Fifty- seven different operators and 42 ma chines were concerned in the work, which required 26 pieces of leather, 14 pieces of cloth, 24 buttons, 24 button holes, feO tacks, 20 nails, 2 box toes, 2 rteel shanks and 20 yards of thread. Since that time the division of labor upon a pair cf shoes has become still greater, and thTe is a larger number of machines employed, with the result that a pair of ladies' boots can now be made complete in fiis factory inside of 20 minutes.

Not Much Ahead. The disposition of the irrepressible Yankee not to let a man of any other nationality crow over him crops out iu niauy ways.

I Tn narln-stnnd the Dhcnomenal ris of Greece, we must bear in mind that, though the Greek bad been miserably downtrodden by tiie Turks for 400 years; th het hone of the people, borne by an unholy tribut far away from their mothers borne and trained into in mla nf an inhuman tTTannr. and though, had it not been for the "unto ward event" at Navarino, the wholo population of the Mcrea would have teen exterminated beneath the merciless tramp of Turkish hoofs, there, never iWs lived behind the outward show of slavish debasement a heart of sturdy indt pendetice that clicri-ibed the iiatriot ic memories of ages and seijixl eagerly on every chance that might enable it to rtand before the world in the atnnwie and character that had g":ven it tho tiost prominent place in thj history of the human race. Thf two vears strofirtrle that srave to Greece the right to look Europe in the face, as a noble people J.-tennined to die ratuer man live inc staves 01 a hnfe.fnl rvrannv. at the same time rare to Europe the assurance that Greece was living Greece again, ac.i Christian conscience and classic memories com bined, when once the yoke was broken, to enable the Greeks to show to the world that, in spite of the bombshells of Venice and tho sabers of Turkey, not only should a Greek mother bear eons to grow up free from the rapine of Turk ish Viands but desolate Athens should rise to htr old position, and, along with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aber- dcf.iL, assert its place among lamous r.u rrmean cities that combine commercial enterprise with cultivated intelligence. It was this noble patriotic pride that, in rh chnrt cnars of half a Cf-ntnrV. turned the little ruined village into a an impos ing city. FTClessor jonn smart rstacaue in Fcrum. A Trick of Actors. Most people know that the memory may be easily confused by learning a passage in two or three different wars, or by having once heard an incorrect form of giving it Working on this prin ciple, actors are fond of putting stum bling blocks in one another's way. A stock joke, dear to the hearts or all players, is the regular thing to be in flicted upon a beginner in the first act of "Richard UL" It is in the scene where the coffin of Henry XI is borne arrow the stage. One of the men who carry it has been raised from the posi tion of supernumerary to his first speak ing part, which consists of a single line. Before the performance, it is usual for some older actor to take him aside and impress him with the enormous diffi culties of delivering that sentence cor rectly. The victim listens nervously. "Now, most ucttirs, says hi9 tor mentor gravely, "make this mistake the first time they play the part : In stead of saying, as it is, My lord, stand back, and let the coflin pass,' they give it this way, 'My lord, stuid back, and let the parson cough. " And after he has heard the latter ver sion, absurd though it is, the chances are that the poor supernumerary will give that to the audience on the first night New York Tribune. The Czar's Cold Plate. For the banquet that took place im mediately after the coronation of the czar no less than 820,000 pounds weight of the finest crystal, gold and silver plate was used, 60,000 pounds cf this be ing composed cf the precious metals. The most famous services of plate are the Orloff and the Loudon service, the last including, among other things, copies eif four equestrian statues on the Auiehkoff bridge in St Petersburg, lour others representing bunting scenes and cue St George and the dragon. A writer in Leiudon Seteiety says that among the crystals there were semic wonderful vases, with bunches of grapes cut in re lief. The Orloff service consists of 16 vases, richly decorated, and 90 large sil ver cnterpie-ces for the table, of ex quisite workmanship. A third service, known as the Parisian golden service, bought in 1SC7, consists of tureens, dishes and couterpieces. The Telephone Worked. According to a Kentucky paper, when the telephone was first in trod need in that state an old farmer who did not exactly untlerstand the working of the invention bought a new pair of boots fcr his son, who lived down in Texas. He hung the footwear across the wire at sundown eme evening. During the night some one took the boots and placed a pair of old ones across the wire. Next morning the old gentleman went out and, to his delight, be saw the old boots. He hastened into the hemse, ex claiming to his wife: "Say, Sal, this here tellerpbone is tho best thing yt t John got his boots last night and I'm blasted if ho didn't send the old mis home!" A Checkered Career. In the recent sweep of the Bo is de Boulogne fcr disreputable characters a tramp with a strange history was taken.

"Next to Godliness." If you want children to go comfort ably to lied, do not forget to institute the habit of sponging oil their feet and legs before dismissing them to their couches. It is a great thing to teach them that they must go clean to bed. Just as it is necessary (independent of the morning bath) that children should wash their faces and hands before sit ting down to meals, so the tanie rule obtains in regard to their feet in the evening. Little children are now on the fl.jor more or less all day. They are actively springing about, running or jumping or climbing, and it aland to reason that their knee and feet will show signs of tbeae exercise by the time dewy eve has arrived- A child is eay taught neatness, and when once the eouifort of going to lied with fe-et ejionged ofTand cool is realized he will gladly keep up the habit aud demand tbe bathing if it has been forgotten. Iu warm weather a child's feet are apt to perspire, and it is even more nec eaaary at this season to send the little ones off clean-footed to the laud of uod. To le sure, it luvolveu a little more trouble for the mother or nurse, but no loving parent would deny the luxury of clean line's to her little oue. Children like other house plants, seem to grow by meant of frei'ient bathing.

The roar of the Saturday ulght traflls had eeased and only here aud there a fakir lingered with the hope of catching some Is-lated customer. In a spacious aud brilliantly lighted room, shaded by a cigar store In front, eat two men deeply absorbed in card The elder of the two had the hard, in scrutable features that belong to the professional gambler, and the heavy chain and Ahu-kan diamond pin proved him a eueees ful one. The either was two or three years younger almost a youth in year and allowed by his delicately moulded fae-e and nervous manner that the Nceuc was strange to him. VWhat do you do?" said the elder in hard tones, as he saw the younger hes itate. "I'll open it for ten," said the youth, with the nervous excitement of one who held two pair. "Ten better," said the eider, with the air oue who is running a bluff. The youth's face grew eleathly pale as he slid iu Ave whites and a red, aud and hi hand trembled when he saw the elder take two cards. The youth took but one. "Do your betting," said the elder in the same hard tones as before. "I chip," faltered the youth. "Raise you ten," said the elder. Again the youth grew pale as he saw the bet and called. "What have you got?" asked the el der bending upon hi antagonist a pair of piercing eyes. "A ejuee u full." "Four deuces here," said tlae elder. aa he laid down his hand, with the jack of hearts carefully covering the centre spot iu the tray of diamonds. "Ruined! Ruiuctl!" moaned the youth, as he rose from the table aud staggered through the door. "How much are you ahead, Shark ey?" asked the proprietor when the youth had gone. "One elollar and seventeen cents," said Sharkey, for it was indeed he, the most desperate and daring gambler on the avenue. New York World. A Real Catarrh Core.

Davidson, Att'y at Law, Monmouth, I1L A Cheap Paint. An old, we-ather-stained, un painted building sometimes looks well iu a picture, but in reality its an eyesore that no good farmer likes to have ou his place. Good paint is a good invest ment, for it prolongs the life of the building a well as adding infinitely to it appearaueie. A cheap paint, suit able for farm buildings and fences, is made from skim milk ami hydraulic cement The cement is put into a bucket aud the sweet skim milk i gradually added, stirring constantly, until the mixture is of about the con sistency ef good cream. The stirring must le thoroughly done iu order that the mixture may How readily from the brush, but if too thin it will run when applied to the building and look streak ed. The projiortion should lie litised upon about a gallon of the milk, as this will make a convenient quantity to mix when one ersxn is to apply it If too much is prepared, the cement will set and harden before it i used. To this quantity of milk add about a quart of the cement Probably a little more than this will be requireel, the operator using judgment to have il thin enough to llow from the brush and yet not thin enough to run after it has been applied. A flat brush about four inches wide is a good implement with which to lay the paint em. It is to be used just as oil paint is used and can lie applied to woodwork, old or new, and to brick or stone. When dry the color is a light creamy brown, or might be called yel lowish stone color. The operator can try it first upon an outhouse or fence to see how it pleases him and to le-irn in an experimental way how to prepare and apply it Farm News. Statu of Oh io.

It may happen that the ears are small, but rap id t f growth audearlin. ssae secure 1 only by using varieties that are net compelled to produce tall stalks ami large ears. At the time of planting the early kind that ha done service for many years and still surpasses ni:ny newer kinds. Later plantings can be made from time to lime, and with good judgment in planting there should tie a plentiful supply of sweet corn until frost appears in the fall. Young turkeys are difficult to raise, but the causes of loss may be traced to allowing them In the damp grass and by attacks of the large gray lice on the beads, for which a elrop or two ef sweet oil is an exifllent remeely. These lice come from the hens to the chirks, and will not be noticed unless by el.ise seare'hiug tin the skin of the heads and necks. Rub the oil on the skin with the finger. It is claimed that it takes seven acre of American wheat to pay for the sugar grown on oue acre iu Europe, with sugar lieets. The importance of the best sugar industry in this country should receive the consideration of eve-ry farmer. Sugar is an article for which we have a market at our d'Kirs. Asparagus in this section should now be plentiful. After the cutting season is over apply ground bone liberally be fore the plants are allowed to shst up for see-ding, and late in the summerctit down the stalk and burn them in order to destroy insect H.ts. Grass U too young as yet to allow orses full lilierty to graze.

Never wait for a disease to spread on trees. If the "yellows" appear in the peach eirchard dig up the tree and burn it at once, aud examine the trees at least once a week. Black knot on plumbs and blight on ear trees should lie looked after before damage Ls done; but if remedies fail it Ls better to burn the trees than to allow other tree's to be come in fee-ted. Should the trex-s be full of young fruit it will pay to pick oiroue-half or more of the fruit when very small, as by so doing the tree will be lts taxed and grow more rapidly. It requires courage in a fruit-grower to remove the fruit, as it seems almost like vandalism, but those who have tried it report mos! satisfae-tory results aud state that they would not again allow a tree to bear a full crop. The peach tree is renewed quickly by severe cutting back. It has hapfiened that, when a tret was apparently dead, cutting away the old wood and allow ing new buds to grow made almost a new tree in a year or two. The Russian thistle, which was con sidered a dangerous post in the Wt?st, has not spread very rapidly, as was ex pected. It seems to thrive best on al kali soils, and is not partial to every kind of laud. Since it appearance it has subdued the Canada thistle ami lieen very beneficial in et-rtaiu states. Though it is not a very desirable plant to have ou the farm, the farmers who have learned how to keep it in subject iou no longer fear it. It Is believed that the results of ex periments now being made iu every state, under tl c direction of the Depart ment of Agriculture, with see-ds eif sugar beets of various kinds, and which were imported for the purjiose', will be of incalculable benefit to the farmers. If the beet grown e-aT test 12 per cent of sugar they will atl'ird a profit The experiments are important from the fact that over the whole country, on farms and at the experi ment stations, at the same time, tests of varieties of se-ed, climatic iutluences, soils, etc., will lie made on an exten sive seale this year.

He was standing uear the door when an unannounced visitor made her ap pearance, and of course he shook hands with her, greeting her as he had the other arrival. "Oh, I beg your pardon,'" she ex claimed, "but, please, sir, I'm the cook. Mr. Barrett asked me to come aud see his pictures." "And I am very glad to see you," re turned Mr. Browning, with ready cour tesy. "Take my arm, aud I will show you around." Temple Bar. Things Worth Knowing That a clean apron worn while hang ing the clothe help keep them clean. That a pair of white glove or tens are a comfort to hand taken from hot suds to hang clothe in zero weath er; also a close-tUtiug jacket and hood to keep one from catching cold. That the line, a soon as il duty is ended, should be reeled up and place d iu a bag until next time.

The rolk'r Is iudispcnsiUe for pre tar ing onion ground either for seed or sets. That with a st allow cultivation to the depth of two inches will make a better seeel bed than will deejier till age. If the soil is made friable deep down the oniou may grow large, but it will likely be thick necked ami grow a crop of scullions. The Shropshire lias a round, solid body and a good fleece of six or eight pounds, and is an excellent sheep for a small fl.H-k upon the farm and for di mestic use. Its si-; and t lie nature eif its mutton and wool suit the demand, and it is most often see-u at the fair aud in the market. To be effee'tive mineral manure fr spring and summer crojs must le ap plied early. They need some of the spring rains to dissolve the fertilizer so that the plant roots can make use of if. Bespjes, as weather and soil become warm and dry there is less need ff the fertilizer, as the soil itself releases more of its own fertility under such condi tions. There Ls no better way to fertilize poor laud than to sow it with peas, us ing phosphate of litnj to famish the mineral fertility that this crop requires to perfect the seed. It is not nitrogen which the pea crop miHt needs other than what the pea roots supply by dis integrating air in th-; s;iil and liiier.it ing its nitrogen. Bit to form grain both lime and phosphate are required. With these supplied the soil will grow richer every year. The Missouri Station re"Coiumetnls the following rem-dy for the Sun Jose scale: Genuine whale-oil soap dissolv ed in water in the proportion of two pound of soap to one gallon of water. Apply thoroughly by m-aus of a force pump and spray-nozzle'. Give the tre-js a good drenching on all sidL-.s and r.'peat if it raius within a week there after. Apply in fall ju-t after the leave full and before the scales beeome hard, aud again iu spring just befor.; the trees be-giu to leaf out It is only when used in lar amounts as a pickle that salt retards de cay. I'sed in small amounts en either a'lim.il or vegetable matter, with enough water to dissolve it, salt w ill always hasten elceiimpot-ition. For this reason it Ls an excellent plan to use it wherever it is desired t have manures act more quickly. A little sprinkled over a manure heap with water to wash it down will set it to fermenting. It will do tho same when a tough sod has been jdowtd under which it is necessary to rot quickly. Swine increase so rapidly and reach maturity so quickly that the intelli gent breeder can rectify mistakes and breed out faults in several generations of hogs, w hile the horse or cattle breed er is waiting through years eif patience to see the result of a single cross. The best show pig may come from the smal lest sow in the herd; but it is not safe, as a rule, to select breeders from thafc class. We want the most size in the shortest time, and we can safely foreg a little ef the fattening tendency, pro vided we secure iu the prospee-tive breeder rangiiK-ss and a tendency to growth. It is surprLsing how soon young p:r-t will lieg'm to eat with the sow er driuk milk if placed where the pigs but noi the sow, can have access to it As soon as pigs show a exposition to eat there should be a separate place provided where they can be fed by themse lves, and run back and forth to the dam. Tliis plan tides over the check most liter will receive when the litter ne?di more nourishment than the dam can supply, and a a consequence ar.m are half starved. The value of wool d inds very nvich on it quality, its fineness, even ness, strength and length of staple, says American S'leep Breeder, and those characteristics are very carefully looked in by the buyer. It goe with out saying that as the fleece is a part of the animal it is quite as dependent up on the feeding as any other p irt of it is. That is to say, Hk w.ol being ele rived from tho food and the general nutrition of the sheep, any ftilure in these is immediately marked by an equivalent loss of quality ef it The kind of feed that fattens, which in this country is chiefly corn, ought never to be given to sows bearing pigs. Oats or flue wheat, mill fee l, will fur nish the same nutrition, but these must be given only moderately. The larger balk of foi.l slir.ild b3 givea iu the form that will best promote diges tion, which in our experience Ls either beets or turnips. The former sows are very fond of, but a all beets contain some sugar it i better to feed the tur nips early, reserving the beets and mangel wurt.els until the pigs are far rowed aud it is desired to force an ex tra large llow of milk. There i noth ing better for this than beets, with sone more nutritious diet added. Philadelphia Il-ford. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
