An ambitious woman of high degree
who has deserted the teas and balls of
society to Keep a shop where bonnets

Tho Frlltre' Wheel.
A story which Is told by an. Italian
paper of the .young Princess Laotizla,
ousln of the Icing, shows that the
.young lady has a mind of her own,
not unVike other girls not of princely
-birth. She la characterized as tho mad
cap of the royal family, which has
lived In terror of her next prank. Sev.
ral times her escapades have thrown
her Into disgrace with even the genial
King Humbert; but on at least one oc
asion she tume off triumphant
vh?n the bicycle begun to be popu

.and startled the proprieties by riding
publicly In the elrects of Turin.
This was bad enough, but when her
royal highness appeared In knicker
bockers, It became too bad. The news
reached the king's- ears, and ho at onto
Jorbade the royal guards to salute tho
iirlnccta when she passed tho palace
.gates.
Tho princeei was angry, but persist
ed. At last she was forbidden to rido
the bicycle, and ordered to Rome to
.Justify Iit conduct. If sho could. She
went with her bicycle, and once there
-she pleaded so effectually and elo
quently that the king and queen con

Neckwear for Spring.

.nothing now or striking. They are the
same plain collars that have been worn
(or eeasons and seasons, and will con
tinue long to reign. .
Tho double effect stock, with metal
ucklo In front, that came out last sea
son, will still be la mode this year.
Persian effects for neckwear are quite
yasse, and much lighter, more delicate
touches prevail.
Heavy materials are decidedly out of
favor for neckwear. Satin Is very little
oeen, the same sheeny effect without
th weight Is secured by using liberty,
anoucsellne or slrhllar materials.
A very attractive now effect Is gained
in many of tho new scarfs by tucking,
file work being so delicately done as to
appear as if falling Into natural folds.
These new tucked ideas promise to be
exceedingly popular.
Another late idea is to cut tbe ends
-at a neck scarf out, the cut-out portion
being edged with delicately Outed
tnonssellne. Fxcetdlngly dainty white
ones ha4 nirrow iars of black velvet

Alexandra's trnltiia t'onltlnn.
Many people suppose that Queen
Alexandra has unique powers In her
cwn right, by reason of her being con
sort of tho orcupnnt of the throne.
Tills, however. Is quite nn erroneous
idea, for, although she has many privi
leges, she Is in reality the king's sub
ject and ametinlile to the nation's laws.
It Is only since the reign of Mary
that the consort has been given nny
privileges at all, nn act of parliament
then being passed to render any one
plotting against Philip of Spain guilty
ot high treason. Today, therefore,
Queen Alexandra Is protected by this
law, but should the king die any one
who plotted ngalnst her could not be
dealt with upon a charg; of high trea
son, for her previous protection would
bo annulled by her husband's demise.
Neither could Bhe marry agnin without
the consent of the new monarch, which
in this case would, of course, be her
son.
The king can do no wrong, but the
queen consort cnn. The British laws
would permit her creditors to suo her
if they wished, Just as sho could sue
the humblest subject In the realm. She
can engage In business, though all doc
umentary transactions must be signed
by her as queen of Britain. In a busi
ness transaction the consort Is not rec
ognized as tho spouse of the king, but
ai a person capable of conducting her
own affairs without the Interference of
the reigning monarch, nor can she
command his Interference, but would
have to settle a dispute In the ordinary
way.
All state documents are signed by
tho king, but not by tho queen consort,
for sho nas no authority to take an
active part in stato matters at all.
Should tho king be III, however, he can
appoint her as his proxy, and, by a
.special license, grant her powerB equiv
alent to his own. In this case her sig
nature at the foot of oulcial documents
would be as cucctual as if they were
signed by the king himself. Ono pecu
liar privilege of Queen Alexandra's Is
that she Is tho only married woman in
tho country who Is not aniennble to tha
married woman's property act, though
Ehc Is bound by every other law.
The king Is In no way responsible
for his wife's debts, as any other hus
band would be! To define this law
more ekarly It was decided during the
reign of William IV that the queon
consort should' have a separate rev
enue. Formerly It was customary for
her to have ono-tenth of her husband's
Income, which wna called "queen's
money," until the act was passed au
thorizing a grant apart from tho king's
to be made her annually. She Is ex
empt from all taxes as being the wlf3
of the king, though she is recognized
bh a public person and Is represented
in courts by her own attorney and solicitor-general.
Although in tho eye of the law she Is
a subject of tho king, sho Is entitled to
all the king's honors so long as she
lives, but upon his death all her former
privileges vanish. She can at no time
tntorfere In eucleslaottcal matters, nor
tan oho rcprlcvo a prisoner nor sign a
death warrant.

Toques and small hats are In many
instances covered with flowers and
small leaves, symmetrically arranged.
When especially small blossoms are
used they are bunched into pompons.
Bcadwork of all sorts Is to be used
on decoratlvo pieces for hats. New ef
fects are also offered In embroidery,
the designs being brought out In che
nille and In silk not, incrusted with
pearls or spangles, and sometimes both.
A new finish for the train of a wed
ding gown consists of a long spray ot
roses beginning at the waist and ex
tending down the train, with a widen
ing effect at tbe nd. The same floral
decoration is carried out on the front
panel of the skirt, and one large rose Is
worn at tho top of the corsage.

Roy' Room.
Considerable Is said about girls
roomB, but llttlo Is Bald of boys' rooms.
Tho Inference is left that any room
will satisfy him. It is true that a
manly boy usually dislikes a room
fixed In milliners fashion, with rib
bons and hangings of cretnnno or silk,
but lTo usually has a decided taste ot
his own It he Is an Intelligent boy, and
even more pronounced likes and dis
likes than his sister. He generally
prefers a simpl-J, rather hard bed, with
r.lenty of pillows. A bedstead of brass,
or Iron trimmed with brass, Is a suit
able, one. Put into his room a "chest
of drawers," with a glass at the top.
Let the washstand be an affair ot
metal, on English shape of ample di
mensions, with a lnrge basin and foot,
tub for splashing. There Bhould be a
loungo or an easy lounging chair and
cushion. Let there be a set of cuff and
collar boxes, a low blacking chair, with
a space under the scat where the black
ing Is stored away and there Is a foot,
hold where he can attend to his own
bootblacktng. Tho cIobcIs should be
furnished with "holds" for coats and
trousers, so they will not get out ot
shape whllo hanging. There should
also be a low sholf to hold shoes when
not In use, and a higher one for bats
and boxes. It is as necessary that a
boy grow up with systematic, orderly
habits as that hlB sister Bhould. A boy
can grow up In an orderly way, which
will be useful to him in his after
career, or ho may be so careless and
erratic in his ways of living that his
method will be a veritable stumbling
block in life's history. -New York

PICE0NS WITHOUT BRAINS.
Da Meat of the Thing Healthy. Nor.
mal Bird Can Do.
It Is n very common Idea that If the

stroyed It will die, or If It lives It re
nin Ins In a "comatose" condition. An
Ingenious Herman has cut out some
pigeons' brains with care, given the
wound time to heal, nnd shown that
tho birds cnn run about, fly, mens
uro a distance, eat, go lo sleep In the
dark, wake up with the light, and. In
One, do most of the things a healthy
normal pigeon can do. Only memory
nnd the mating Impulses are gone. II
Is possible to discriminate very neat
ly between the reflex nets and those In
volving some use of the memory. Tliu
a brainless falcon was put In a cage
with some mice. Every time ft mouse
moved the falcon Jumped for It nnd
caught It. There tho net ended. The
noridal falcon eats its mouse. When
Its brain Is gone It pays no more at
tention to Its captured prey as soon a
tho mouse censes to move. These nnd
a great variety of other experiments on
rabbits, dogs, fishes, nnd still lowei
orders hnve shed a deal of light nn the
obscure phenomena of "mental'' ac
tion. With this have eonic very ma
terialistic' views. For If the larger part
of bodily actions can be shown to be
nothing more than simple mechanical
responses to appropriate stimuli, the
suspicion grows thnt tho morn Intri

tho result of a highly complex arrange

A Carlon Natural Phenomenon.
One of tbe most curious natural phe
nomeua nnd ono which hns never at
yet been explained by tho philosophers
Is that In reference to the expansion
of freeziug water. The case of water
Is a singular exception to all natural
laws of expansion by heat and con
trnetlou by cold which apply In easel
of nit other known llculils. When
water Is freezing It contracts In bulk
down to the point where the mercury
reaches the reading of 3!Vi degrees, oi
Vt degrees above freezing, from which
point It slowly expands according to
the Intensity of cold. No other liquid
Is known to possess this remarkable
property, except that certain metals ex
pand slightly lo passing from a liquid
to a solid stuto. But if heat be applied
to water after It has cooled down to a
temperaturo of 3IVi degrees (the polut
whero It Is ready to begin expanding.
should a greater degree of cold bo ap
plied) It will Immediately expand by
tho universal law. But should we lowei
tho temperature to 32 degrees It will
expand by Its own speelul law. An
other curious point to bo noted here l
this tho amount of expansion Is ni
grent in water lowered from 39',& de
grees down to 82 degrees as It Is Is
water that has been heated so that the
temperature runs up from 30V4 to 41
degrees. Theso points are certainly
ouu nnd curious nnd worthy of ntten
tion nnd experiment. St. Louis Repub

Tried Suicide by Small Pox.
Thero Is a most peculiar story going
tho rounds In Austin, nnd which li
vouched for by some who claim to
know. It Is thnt of a young girl whe
has attempted snlcldo by tho small
pox route. Her lover died almost a
year ago from small pox, and she hn
wilfully exposed herself to that dls
case.
In a small hut in the settlement
known as "Mexico," In tho southern
portion of the city, a Mexican woman
has been sick with small pox. This
youug girl enmo to the shanty, nnd at
first was refused admittance, but wai
admitted later when she represented
thnt sho could cure tho patient. Odc
lnsldo nnd In contact with the victim
sho told of her renl purpose nnd snd
story. Tho Mexicans tried to persuade
Her to leave, but she would not go,
Instead lying down on the pallet with
tlio patient nnd spending the night
more. Tho attending physician quar
antined the young girl with tho Mex
leans, nnd though It has been ten dayi
since the Ilrst visit, she has not con
tracted ths disease. Galveston Daily
ixews.
A Good Wltnitii.
Eoveral days ago there was a trial
In one of the courts, and a lawyer wai
engaged In endeavoring to shake the
testimony of an old lady who was one
of tho principal witnesses for the
plaintiffs, riunlly he asked:
"Who have ycu talked about this case
to?"
"Nobody."
"Didu't Colonel B'nck, tbe lawyer,
speak to you about it?"
"No, sir."
"Didn't Mr. Smith, tho plnintiff. ask
you whut you would testify to?"
"No."
"Do you mean to tell this Jury that
you have talked to nobody about it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, bow did they know what you
would tell?"
"They knew I'd tell tho truth."
