DOTS' SHIBT WAIST. RULERS WELL GUARDED MEASURES TO PROT2CT THE LIVES OF EUROPEAN ROYALTY. Leopold of Belgium Like to Escape nit Hocret Police The Ctar and the Saltan Carefully Watched The Kalier's nab Its Precautions Taken by Other. European royalty may pick nnd Jhoose society to a certalu extent, but '.ho private police, like the poor, rulers have always with them. Some sovereigns object strenuousl" :o the surveillance. A few manage to scape It. Leopold II. of Belgium oc casionally accomplishes that feat, by linking his movements so sudden nnd unexpected thnt his vigilant protectors Jo not know he Is going, until ho is gone. Ho frequently scurries off to his hooting box. In the Ardennes, quite alone, and often drives through his Japitnl In a closed carriage unnttend od; but his police are conscientious, when they have the chance. At all subllc appearances he Is guarded by a large squud of plain-clothes men; and it ntgbt, an armed nnd trusty vnlet locks the monnrch In his room nud ileeps In the anteroom, whose door Is also lucked nnd guarded. The royal family of Denmark sets islde private police, ns It disregards many other Irksome royal traditions; lud, save on unusual occasions, goes about unattended and simply. But the members of the family who have be come sovereigns of other countries do not live so simply. The Dowager Czarina, who was a Princess of Denmark, stepped Into an atmosphere of private police. The Czar of Russln is guarded more strict ly than any other monarch of Europe iave Abdul Haniid, the Sultan. Nicholas II. chafes against the at tendance, but recognizes the necessity; and, wherever he moves, he Is sur rounded by Becret guards, as well as openly authorized attendants. If he walks In the forest of Peterhof, he cannot flatter himself that he Is alone; for posted behind trees, leaning over bridges, studying fountains, are in conspicuous men, absorbingly Interest ed In the landscape. When he trav els or nu.s or drives, the same pre cautions are observed. In his palace his every movement is watched, his every step followed. The story Is told that on his Inst visit to Queen Victoria at Balmoral, the Czar mistook the path In the for est, nnd was obliged to ask his way from a peasant whom he met. The man answered him In Russian. Ue was one of the Czar's own private detec tives. William of Gcrmnny, until recently, was the only living ruler In Europe upon whose life no attempt had been made. Ill natured critics say that he didn't enjoy the distinction, that, In fact, he deeply resented It, nnd that the recent assault was balm to bis soul. Dramatic danger a sensational monarch may endure, but to be Ig nored! In spite of his apparent Immunity, the German Emperor has always been surrounded by elaborate precautions. Ills private police service Is large nnd efficient, and bis famous six-foot bodyguard, looking tremendously spec taculur lu their eighteenth century hats and coats, are always In evi dence In the royal ante-chamber. When the Emperor travels ho causes almost as much of a stir as the Czar. Every mile of the railroad, every bridge, tuunel and rail is examined. Special guards are stationed along the route and the train Is well guarded. It Is only fair to sny that the Emperor himself seems altogether fearless, and makes so many BUdden moves, with out reference to safeguards that his secret police ore chronically out of breath. The English King has a bodyguard corresponding to the German body guard; but the Honorable Corps of Uentlemen-nt-Arms nnd the Yeomen of the Guard do not work for salaries cj their German prototypes do. They are for ornnmental purposes only, and never are on duty except at state functions. The real work of looking after Eng lish royalty Is In the hands of Super intendent Fraser and his private po lice. The late Queen was always guarded In public, but less apprehen sion was felt about her than about the rriuco of Wales, who3e democrat ic fashion of appearing here, there nud everywhere, made him an easy murk for attack and kept his police at tendants busy. Superintendent Wink ler, who had charge of the Prince's person, was not allowed to accom pany him to Ilomburg last year, nnd Icsls'.s that If thnt esceptiou had not been made, Spldlo'a attack would Sever have come off. The Duke of YorS had his own private police, much to his dlsguiit, and his children aro constantly guard ed, even in their play, by detectives, Humbert of Italy was one of the nonnrchs who most cordially detested the necessity of police attendance, nnd avoided it whenever that was possi ble. Ho Insisted upon driving about evej the most squalid pans of Home and Naples In an open carriage with only one attendant, nnd would not listen to the constant protests ngalnst his reckless exposure of bis life. Ills police service was carefully organized, and guarded him lu spite of his objec tions. Whenever one met the handsome King driving In his dashing fashion one was sure to meet nt a discreet dis tance behind the royal carriage an In conspicuous cab In hot pursuit, and In the cab was the keen, dark face of tho bead of the secret police. In the pal ace the King had a special guard, a gigantic Pledmontese, who slept at his door and was always near him. The present King of Italy Is much more strictly guarded than Humbert was, but tho Dowager Queen Margher Ita goes wherever she chooses in car riage or on foot, and scorns all Idea of surveillance. Tho Empress Elizabeth of Austria was as democratic In her actions as Queen Margherlta nnd always object ed to public attendance, which was, nevertheless. Imposed. Tho Austrian Emiieror, whose life has not been at tacked since ho was nineteen, Is care fully guarded, anil tho late Empress was always Intensely anxious la re gard to his safety, though abcoUiUily unconcerned about herself. The personal defence of the royal family of Spain Is Intrusted to a' bodyguard ot men from Esplnosn, this town having enjoyed the honor for hundreds of years. These men of El plnosa accompany the members of the royal family. One of them sleeps at the door of each roynl bedchamber and the rest of the guard In noiseless slippers pace the balls of the palace. But the hardest worked police in the world is the private force of the Sul tan Abdul Hamld. A Frenchman, M. Bonnln, Is at the head of the serv ice, and, if ever a policeman earned his wages, ho does. The Sultan has n Arm and fixed be lief thnt he Is to die a violent death; nnd this cheerful certainty ne con templates with anything but Oriental calm. He refuses to move without a small army to protect blm. When he goes to the Great Mosque 30,000 spl dlers are turned out to gunrd the route and a troop of picked men surrounds tho cnrrlngo closely. In his palace he has fifty bedrooms, nil with Iron doors nnd complicated locks, and he circulates around In them like an Arabian Nights' monarch of guilty conscience. New York Sun. CURIOUS FACTS. The word sunny borrowed Its orig inal significance from astrology. It de scribed a person born under the tnflu eucc of the sun, this luminary being supposed to exercise a benetlelul Influ ence on the character of the Individu al. A proud record for longevity Is held by Clutton, Somerset, England. Among the present Inmates of the workhouse one Is aged ninety-eight, another ninety-seven nnd three are nluety-three, while the average age of fifteen in mates works out at eighty-seven and one-halt years. French burglars are up to date. A gang bf nutomobiling bouse-brenkers operating in the Purls suburbs has been remnrknbly successful. Their plan of operatlou Is to visit in, the daytime occupied mansions which are for sale or to let, with the ostensiblo purpose of buying or leasing the prop erties ,nnd, having secured an Idea of the "lay of the land." they make a second nnd more profitable visit after nightfall. The Egyptian turquoises, so called, come In reality from Mount Sinai. The highly-valued Persian stones are ob tained from Nlshapur in the most primitive manner. A wooden wheel. operated by the feet of two men lying on their backs, brings tho broken rock to the surface In bags; the fragments are smashed with hammers, and when a turquoise Is discovered It Is put aside nnd sent with the next batch to Mesbed, to be cut. Giles County, Virginia, contains a remarkable natural curiosity known as Salt Pond, which Is described as a lnke of fresh water sunk In Snlt Pond Mountain nt an elevation-of 4500 feet above sea level. It Is fed by no visi ble stream, yet it Is claimed to have been gradually enlarging since 1S04. the date of Its discovery. Fish that have been plnccd in Salt Pond have mysteriously disappeared. Its depth Is unknown, experiments with a lino 300 feet long falling to reach the bot tom. The origin of the lake Is un known. His Aim in life. People bother little boys so! Ail tho tourists to his Island hoie used to ask this one: '-What aro you going to be, boy? what are you golug to be?" and the boy had pntieutly replied at every Interrup;lcn of his Important undertakings: "I um going to be a sailor aud climb the masts."

Sporting clothes nre growing danger ously nnd delightfully becoming and picturesque. The dlrectolro cont Is bound, they say, to force eventually tho abdication of the English habit coat for riding; the new brown, red tnd white linen golf skirts have got a milled bottom this spring, nnd tho cycling outfits thnt nre now turned out by tho tailors would appear to advan tage at garden parties and In drawing rooms. Just now we are hnlllng Joy ously the new sporting skirts of silk, linen nnd silk flannel, tbelr bosoms laid with stitched down tucks that have n piped edgo and high turn-over l'Alglon collar faced with n bright plaid silk. The sleeves of such waists nre n modified bishop in shape with small, round stitched cuffs holding the fulness at the wnlst. Inch by Inch and season by season. the cycling skirt has grown longer, tind for the worm weather that Is surely coming they nro offering the most beguiling English mobnlr skirts nud Jncket3. A very becoming cycling suit cnu be mndo of mushroom grny and trimmed with blue silk braid. The Jacket Is also decorated with some co quettlshly superfluous buttons of bluo enamel, and shows llttlo false vestlets in front of striped blue and white silk poplin. The garment Is worn over a Jaunty llttlo blue and white calico skirt and the mohair skirt Is garnished with blue braid about tho bottom. A dish-shaped straw of blue, with a spotted foulard handkerchief and a blue quill, comprise the appropriate cycling headgear. It is on odd fact thnt these, dish, boat nnd trny-shaped straws that wero evolved nnd introduced especially this season to meet tho demand for travel lug, golfing, cycling and general out door wear have been brought up nnd worn by women as general spring headgear. They were designed only to serve ns substitutes for nlplnes and' sailors, and they look ns out of place with calling costumes ns yachting caps or sunbonuois would. Tho very dressy cyclist and golfer Is, by tho way, ordering her next suit of serge, mohair or linen to be made with a many-gored corselet skirt. Eight gores will not be considered too many for such service, nnd the seams of every gore must be strapped, stitched and piped with satin. Of course, it will require the figure of a nymph and the grace of a Psyche to carry off one of these skirts effectively, and it Is sad but true that along with the corselet skirt has arrived the satin ribbon brl tells or suspenders that had a passing vogue seven years ago, but which were laughed out of use and never worn by the truly modish. Washing ton Star. , , Training the Young Idea, Children are more often spoiled dur ing tho first month of their lives than nt any other time. It Is then that the seed is sown that will influence their entlro lives. If the nurse feels in clined to take a llttlo exerclso she Is very opt to take the weo bundle of hu manity In her arms nnd give it Its first lesson In being troublesome. At the end of a week the baby will cry for a continuance of the pastime, and here is where the troublo begins. At the end of a month night walking has been firmly established, nud the wearied mother wonders why her child is so troublesome. Neither allow a child to bo carried or nursed more than Is absolutely nec essary for attention to its needs. The less a child is handled during the first three months of Its life the better It will be for the child. The mother will now take a hand in the spoiling of tho little one by giving it food whenever it cries, no matter what tho cause may be. Most fre quently an over-abundauco of food Is the very cause of Its discomfort, but at the first cry the mother files to add to Its troubles, and an attack of Indi gestion follows. There Is a greater wrong In this than even the over-feeding of tho child, for this Is tho first lesson given In self-indulgence, nnd the mother, anxious though she may be for tho welfare of her precious child, is responsible. Let the child bo regularly fed, nnd, should ho cry, try to find some other cause for his unhap plness. Habits of neatness should also be Inculcated at a very early age, ns well ns habits of regularity. See that his bath Is given tit tho same tlmo each day, and that his morulug nap follows with regularity. Bo sure that tho room where tho child Is put to sleep hns been freshly aired. Plenty of 11','ht warm covers nre necessary for him, nnd for this purpose thsro is nothing better than cheeso cloth nicely quilted with a good quality of wool. Let fancy ribbons go if tho quality of the mate rial must be lowered lu order to have tho ribbons. These spreads', if mndo at borne, are so Inexpensive that there is no excuso for them becoming soiled and untidy. Fresh air Is also very Im portant for tho child, and ho should bo taken out of doors every day, unless the day Is stormy. Avoid draughts, but do not wake a hot-house plant of your baby. Every conscientious mother will find In the training ot her child she also Is bolng trained, for their Is uo experience that will so broaden a thoughtful woman ns tho brining up of a llttlo child. Philadelphia Itecord. M1U Again Faahion' Choice, "Dear me," said tho old lady who has worn black lnce mlts year in and year out every summer since she was n girl, "but I am glad that they are coming In fashion again this summer. I am right In the fushlon. It comes around to me once in a while, and though I don't euro much about it my self, it Is nice on tho girls' account. They say they eun't bear to seo me muklng a scarecrow of myself." But there are mlts and mlts, and tht mlts of this year as a "swagger" lot which require handsome uml up-to-doto gowns to go with them. Three quarter sleeves, ladies, if you were going to have them on uo other ac count, for the mlts of l'JOl must huvo a chance to show thriusulves. Then) Jk k avw never was, In fact, anything bnnd somcr In the line of hand-covers than some of those to be worn this summer, They are to be worn with every thing In the way of dressy frocks foi afternoon, carrlnge, visiting or almost any dress function. They must be of good qunllty to go with the gowns, and the gowns of equally good qunllty to go with them. The lnce mlts, which nre worn with both three-qunrter and one-qunrtcr sleeves, nre of fine mate rials. They may be bought for $2.f0, and range from that up to much higher prices. A handsomer pair of appllqucd net mlts, three-qunrter length, will cost some $25, and tho mlts of Ditch esse, Chnntilly nnd other varieties of lace cost large sums. One hns to dress up to one's hand coverings this year. The mlts vary In length to suit different sleeves. New York Times. "now Many Knot an Uonr?" "How mnuy knots an hour nre you going?" is n nautical question which can well be propounded Just now to the dressmaker or tho woman who Is fixing up her last summer's gown. The dainty French knot studs her col larette and oft times her silken girdle. The tiny knot of velvet ribbon Is a rival, a good second lu sooth. The knots nre used ns n finish In many places on tho robe, as a terminal point whore the lines of narrow velvet rib bon trim the gown. Tho rows -which finish the waist arc concluded with tiny knots, one on each side of the full front. The ladder of velvet ribbon which ascends tho skirt panel or tra verses the bodice or meanders on the sleeve is finished In precisely the same way. Llttlo knots of nnrrowest black vel vet ribbon nre applied to tho flounce of black Chnntilly lace which overlies the sub-flounces, either of colored fou lard or of colored moussellne de sole. Mites of knots are spaced at tho ends of the long sash, a feature of the handsome summer frock. The snsh has rounded oblong ends. The end of tho flowing sash Is usually much broader than tho upper part, where It disappears under the loops nnd knots. The sash Is already tied nnd stitched to the gown. It is mndo often of Lib erty satin. Scented Stationery- . There Is nothing which shows n woman's character much more clearly than a letter, nnd, npart from her writ ing, one judges of h?r reflnement, or lack oi It, largely by the stationery she uses. The paper should b j plain nnd good. with th address printed or simply em bossed l:i plain characters. All florid nnd fanciful lettering nnd elnborote nud showy monograms, etc., should be avoided. Certain women have a great fond- nous for perfumes, nnd those who have It have greater need almost of discre tion In the matter of scenting their paper even than they have of Bcentlug their chiffons. One often sees people, and especially men, fling down a note In disgust when detecting that It Is scented. If perfumed stationery bo used nt all, it must only bo by women, and then at most a faint odor of orris or violet should pervade It Tho ficful Chatelaine. Chatelaine bags are lu great variety. Seal, llzatd skin, suetie nnd soft kid are popular materials for everyday use. The bags are attached to the belt at the left side. Some bags aro set with a small watch in one corner or they have an outer pocket to hold cards, rallrond tickets, etc. Some nre clnborotely mounted In gold or silver, nnd have the owner's monogram in metal to correspond.

Some of the new parasols are sot with lnce medallions aud uppllqued with gold or colored flowers. An exquisite white glace silk blouse Is trimmed bolero fashion, with tur quoise and gold embroidery. Velvet nppllquo spots appear on many of the light aud dulnty fabrics, such as glace silk, mousselinc, chlffcn, etc. Smoked pearl buttons as fasteners for white pique or Marseilles shirt waists represent one of the novelties of the season.

A little black silk Etca ,'ncket is strapped ncrotis tho front with narrow braid loops, which aro Uniehed'on the side, where they f:t3toa with a long tassel at each strap. The up-to-date woman wears a fob- chain to her watch. It must be small and dainty, nnd to bo qulto correct have a buucb of seals or a rare old colu for a pendant. . A novel Idea In flower trimming is a wreath of Ivy geranium. The foliage Is extremely delicate, lending ltseif to tiny shape, aud tho pule pink or red blossoms are pretty in various combi nations.
