The young king of Spain was re
cently asked by a visitor from Eng
land if he liked golf. He replied, with
a patriotism that has delighted all
Madrid, that he did not; that he pre
ferred bullfighting, "the chosen amuse
ment of his own country," to anything
imported. Wise lad! He knows the
hearts of his people!
In the course of a long article deal
ing with the growth of cotton produc
tion and manufacture in the United
States the London Times says: The
United States as a producer will be
able to command a universal market
at rcmumerative prices. It seems un
likely that the manufacturing branch
will be able to do more than to sup
ply the home demands. These make
it the most valuable single market in
tbe world, and the maintenance of the
monopoly is likely to be assured." Am
erican progress, tbe article points out,
is largely due to the quick adoption of
perfected machinery, much of which
has been devised in England.
The New York Sun says: New
Jersey lias disbanded the ambulance
corps of Its National Guard, and here
after will rely on its regimental corps.
In New York the best opinion favors
a state corps, though there is no such
organization in our National Guard as
yet. The experience of the Spanish
war supports the division of state
corps, the plan of creating such a
corps temporarily by drawing on tbe
regimental corps having been proved
bad. It simply concentrated the medi
cal supply at tlie divisional hospitals,
leaving tho regiments lacking needful
medical attendance. New Jersey lias
been one of the leading states in Na
tional Guard matters; its medical ser
vice should maintain its standard.
The Ilartford Courant thus pre
sents the other side of a much dis
cussed question: "It would be in
teresting to know how many men,
women and children have been killed
because the horses behind which they
Were riding had not 'docked tails.*
Nothing makes a horse behave uglier
and more unreasonably than to get
his undocked tail across a rein. Down ]
goes the tail, and the more the tail
presses the more annoyed is the horse.
Off lie goes, kicking and running, and
Whoever is behind or in front of him
is in for trouble. The situation is full
of danger. 'Dumb Animals' may not
be especially interested in the fact
that human beings are imperilled, but
some consideration should be bad for
the horse."
New York's laudable desire to ba the
biggest city in the world is in strik
ing contrast with the ambition of Lon
don in the last years of the sixteenth
century, when the decree of Nonesuch
forbade tho erection of buildings
where none lias existed in the memory
of man. The extension of the me
tropolis was deemed to encourage the
plague, create trouble in governing
multitudes, a dearth of victuals, mul
tiplying of beggars, and inability to
relieve them; an increase of artisans
more than could live together; im
proverishing other cities for lack of
Inhabitants. The decree asserted
that lack of air. lack of room to walk
and shoot, etc., arose out of too crowd
ed a city. A proclamation to the
same effect was also issued by James
I.
Since 1804 nearly 350 men living in
Bremerhaven, Germany, have lost their
iives by the wrecking or burning 0/
ships.
"FOR REMEMBRANCE."
She lived for love—the traitor years
Took what she lived to find—

Death steadfast and more kind.

O hearts that weep and love her!
But that she may forget, I lay
Heartsease, instead, above her.

A Ranchman's Thrilling Adventure on the
Western Plains.
I "It was while I was employed on the
G— cattle ranch, in the state of Kan
sas, that the following exciting in
cident happened," writes 11. W. Steven
| son in the Pittsburg Dispatch. "Be
ing a young man, scarcely 18, I was 1
naturally opposed to working all the
time, so had taken a well-earned holi
day and had gone over to Fort Lamed
to pay a visit to friends who were then
in the sendee of the government
Being mounted 011 a good horse and
accompanied by my favorite dog, Tim, ]
1 did not feel lonesome, and it was
just getting dusk when I set out 011 1
my return journey. Tim thought he !
would venture on a little hunting ex
pedition of bis own, so. leaving me to
I illow at my leisure, spurted on ahead
in search of game.
"1 lmd not ridden very far before :
I became aware of an unusual amount
of noise and barking some distance j
in front, and apparently in line of
where I was heading for. I had not j
heard any sound for over half an hour
that would indicate where my dog
Was, so when this yelping suddenly
smote my ear I surmised that he hud j
cornered or captured some sort of
game.
"Carefully examining my revolvers,
of which I mostalwayscarried a couple !
in my belt when out on these ex- j
cursions by myself. I rode hurriedly
forward to investigate the trouble. In
mother moment 1 was in the midst '
>f the conflict, and then it was for
the first time I became fully aware of j
what was transpiring.
"It wasn't dogs at all, as I at first ,
-jhought, that were killing my hound,
but wolves—prairie wolves—and as j
soon as I took in the situation 1 knew \
that not only the life of my favorite !
dog was in danger, but I, myself, was
in a tight place and must act, aud 1
that quickly, if I ever expected to
reach my friends alive. The moon had
by this time lifted her illuminated
face above the eastern sky line, and
her mellow light enabled me to faintly
distinguish this struggling mass of
wolves, lighting over the remains of
my poor dog. lie was past all help
on my part, but had died game and
lighting to the last, as was evidenced
by a number of dead and dyiug wolves !
scattered round the edge of their sur- !
viving comrades.
"A feeling of revenge took posses- j
sion of mo at the sight of my dead j
hound, and utterly regardless of my
own safety I determined to get even j
with these four-legged cannibals for j
the loss of my dog. My horse was
shying and prancing so that my aim 1
was poor, and as soon as I began fir- I
Ing it was all that I could do to keep
him from running off. But 1 was do- j
termiued to have revenge, and con
tinued firing into the crowd of wolves
until I had emptied both my revolvers.
Sly him must fiave been bad, for after 1
1 had ceased firing there seemed to be j
as many wolves still surviving as ,
there were when I began, but I must J
have put several of them out of the
game, at least. Maddened by the j
taste of blood, and almost devouring |
one another in their eagerness to '
their ravenous hunger, they, I
all at ofi'o, turned their attention to '
where I gnd my now j
frightened horse were standing.
" 'Twas tlien I fully realized iny
perilous position. Unarmed as I was,
having exhausted all my ammunition,
I was In no manner a match for these
savage animals, who were maddened
to frenzy by the taste of blood. My
only safety lay in flight, and without
a moment's hesitation I dug the spurs j
into my horse and he responded to t ie I
unkind treatment on my part b.v giv
ing a leap that almost threw me out j
of the saddle, and was oft like the j
wind.
"I headed him as best I could in j
the direction of where I thought our j
camp lay, and glancing back over my
shoulder saw that the wolves had de- j
sertafl their recent prey and were now |
following close in my wake. I knew
I would become an easy victim If
one? they caught up with me, and I
became thoroughly alarmed at the
thought of falling into their clutches j
ami sharing the fate of my poor j
hound.
4 K living my horse full rein, regard
less of consequences, and urging him
forward, with my spurs, he bounded
over the prairie, leaping holes like a
stag, with me clinging to the saddle
for dear life. lie, too, realized the
peril we were in, and, good, sensible
beast as he was, tried his utmost to
get nixt out of my predicament
"But we were having 11 harder time
of It than we wished. The ground
was so rough It was difficult travel
ing, and more than once my horse
stumbled and I came near going over
his head, and that would have ended
my journey. I realized that my foes
were gaining rapidly on me, and my!
how I strained my eyes to catch a
glimpse of the friendly light of our
camp flic, whch would mean safety
for me and my now almost exhausted
horse. But none appeared, and with
a sinking heart I prepared to sell my
life dearly and, if necessary, sacri
fice my horse to do so, by leaving him
to the mercy of the wolves and make
my escape as best I could. But the
thought of leaving him to be devoured
by these ferocious animals gave me
fresh energy, and I urged him 011 still
faster. He was doing his utmost,
poor fellow, and I thought if we ever
escaped, nothing would be too good
for him the remainder of his life. His
strength was fast going away and his
breathing grew faster and faster, un
til I almost imagined I was riding
some automatic animal driven by
steam. 1 leaned forward every now
and then and patted his neck, thus en
couraging him that 1 appreciated his
elToits, at the same time glancing
back to see how near my enemies
wore.
"He must have understood my car
ess, for he again, bounded forward,
but not a moment too soon. The fore
most of this band of wolves, 1111 im
mense fellow, was close behind me
and gaining rapidly. I could hear his
labored breathing not over 10 feet
away, aud i began to think my chances
for escape were every moment
growing less, and t knew I wouldn't
last long under those sharp teeth. Oil,
for tlie sight of our camp! Would
that welcome sight ever appear? And
1 laid, almost given up hope and was
preparing for the forthcoming strug
gle when, on reaching a slight rise in
the prairie, 1 beheld the most welcome
sight 1 had ever seen.
"Approaching me was a small band
of horsemen, clearly outlined against
the western sky, and, as soon as I saw
them, 1 gave a yell, that was an
swered by my friends, whom they
proved to be, and they spurred for
ward to meet me. 1 fell, rather
than jumped, from my horse, and
he, now that help had ar
rived, gave a whinny and
dropped over, thoroughly exhausted
by his exciting ride. My friends took
in the situation at it glance and began
firing into the pack of wolves, who,
now that the tables were turned, scoot
ed away in an opposite direction and
were soon out of sight. They left
over half of their number on the field,
however, thanks to my friends' good
aim. but not even the whole pack, ly
ing dead at my feet, could have re
compensed me for the loss of my
hound. But 1 was thankful to get off
with my own life, and it was with a
prayerful spirit that 1 related my re
cent experiences to my companions,
its we journeyed back to camp. They,
it seems, had become anxious to my
long absence, and decided to ride out
and meet me, it being such a tine
night, and I've been thankful ever
since for that full moon, to whose wel
come light 1 owe my life."—New York

TWO WOMEN'S HUSBANDS.
Why One Wns Itnctln 11ml the Other Waa
Rebellions.
Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Denting are
neighbors and visit each other quite
frequently, and Mrs. Fuller has no
ticed with surprise that Mrs. Dcmtng's
husband never scolds when he comes
home and finds 110 supper ready. She
asked .Mrs. D. about it, and was told
it was as easy as rolling off a log.
"Y'ott have ohly to use a little tact,"
she said. "Why, any man can be man
aged by a tactful wife."
Just then Denting came in looking
rather tired and cross, but his wife
took his hat, whispered something in
his ear, and asked him if he was very
hungry.
He said he didn't mind waiting, and
at her suggestion he took his paper
and went into the other room.
"Therel" whispered .Mrs. D. to her
neighbor, '"didn't I tell you it only re
quired a little tact?" and she weilt
about getting supper while Mrs. Fuller
went home to try how tact would work
011 iter husband.
She found him with a thunder-cloud
brow, and at once began the new treat
ment.
"please go Into the parlor and read
the paper while 1 hurry the supper."
"Well, you have nerve! Do you s'pose
I can satisfy my appetite with news
from China? I like that. A man might
as well be a bachelor and done with it
as have 11 wife who is forever gadding
to the neighbors!"
"I was over to Mrs. Denting's a few
minutes and he wasn't a bit cross,
and her supper is late too."
"Of course it is. Gossiping round
and hindering each other, 1 wonder
you ever get anything done."
Mrs. Fuller had tried tact, but it
didn't seem to work. Her feelings
were hurt and her temper was rising.
She concluded to take heroic measures
and see what would happen. She took
off the white apron she had ptiined 011,
and turned 11s only a worm can.
George Augustus Fuller, if you want
any supper tonight you can get it for
yourself. I'm going home to eat and
will stay there until you know how
to treat me. You should have married
a cook."
"Maria," piped Fuller feebly, "don't
go."
"Then will you be more reasonable?"
"Why, of course. 1 was only bluff
ing."
They made it up, and got supper to
gether like two turtle doves. Mrs Ful
ler thinks It takes different kinds of
tact for different men, but she doesn't
know yet what it was that Mrs. Dent
ing whispered so sweetly to her hus
band. It was this.

she is here I'll tell you how much
money you iost 011 that last deal iu

Since Willie Goes to School.
Since Willie goes to school the days
Are always full of peace,
And in a hundred little ways
The cares of life decrease;
The halls are littered up no more
With blocks and tops and traps;
No marbles lie upon the floor,
But are we happier than before? —
Ah, well, perhaps—perhaps.
Since Willies goes to school the cat
Lies dozing in her nook,
There are no startling screeches that
Make all the neighbors look;
His playthings are all piled away,
No books bestrew the floor,
But I have found a hair today,
Deep-rooted, glistening and gray,
That hid itself before.
Since Willie goes to school I hear
No pounding on the stairs,
Nor am I called to help my dear
Make horses of the chairs;
A sense of peace pervades the place,
And I may be a fool
To shed the tears that streak my face,
But a boy is in. my baby's place,
Since Willie goes to school.

The ISirth of a Dragon-Fly.
The April sun shone warm, and the
soft wind blew the yellow dust from
the alder tassels that hung along the
brook side. Pussy willows had doffed
tlicir furry winter coats, and put on
bright yellow ones for spring. The
first butterfly—his wings were border
ed with yellow, too —sailed lazily from
bush to bush. He was trying his wings
for the first time after their long win
tor's rest.
1 looked dowD to see what signs of
spring there were in the brook itself.
A speckled trout darted up towards the
bridge. I followed him with my eye,
and as he disappeared in a shadowy
nook, I caught sight of a little dark
creature clinging to a twig that dipped
Into the water. Going nearer, I saw
that he was a stranger to me, though
I had thought I was acquainted with
all the brook folk.
"Do you belong here?" I asked him.
"Belong here!" he answered rather
scornfully. "Where else eolild I be
long, when 1 was born in this very
brook, and have lived here all my
life!"
I looked at him In wonder. Just
then a little pollywog came wriggling
along, and my new acquaintance thrust
out a long arm, seized the pollywog,
and swallowed it.
"Well, sir," I said, "now that you
have had that tidbit 1 hope you will
tell me something about yourself."
"Did you ever see a dragon-fly?" was
his answer, which I thought very
strange, as I was not making any in
quiries about dragon flies.
"Why, certainly," I replied.
"Then you know all about me," he
said. "I'm a dragon fly; a larva, as
the scientific folk call me. I am stay
ing here only to pass the time away
till I shall have two pairs of wings to
fly off with. These are not good for
much now" —and he indicated some
curious bits of wings on the top of his
back —"but they'll be all right by and
by."
I stared at him in astonishment. Was
it possible that the gorgeous dragon
flies, the "living flashes of light," as
Tennyson calls them, were once ugly
creatures, creeping about in the mud?
"Well, don't you believe nle?" ho
said, while I was considering what to
say next, "because if you don't, come
here about six weeks from now, and
you will see us all coming out in our
gauzy wings and gay colors."
Promptly on the first day of June 1
made my way to the broolcside early in
the morning. On stooping down to
pick a leaf of watercress, I heard a
shrill voice:
"I see you are on time. Don't you
know me?"
Looking about, I spied my friend on
a rush, hut he was quite changed in
appearance, so that I hardly recognized
him.
"Watch me closely." he said. "I
shan't be able to talk much more, for I
am going through a great change this
morning."
I was all attention, and he crept 1
little higher, where the sun shone hot
upon him. and presently 1 saw a crack
appearing In the top of his back. It
grew wider and wider, and pretty soon
he drew out his head, then his legs
came out, slowly, one by one, with
many jerks and wriggles to free them
from the larval skin; at last his wings,
all wet and folded up like fans, ap
peared; then, with one final tug, his
long body came out. He clung to the
reed, limp and quite worn out with his
hard struggle, until the sun dried his
wings so that he could spread them
out. How they shone and glittered!
They were finer than the daintiest lace
ever made by human hands. His two
great eyes were like moonstones, full
of light, and his slender brown body
was barred at every joint with golden
yellow.
"Oh!" I exclaimed, "how splendid
you are!"
He looked down and saw his reflec
tion in the water below. Then, giving
his old skin a scornful push, he said:
"Yes. rather an improvement on that, I
should say."
"I suppose you will be flying oft
soon," I said.
"Yes, in an hour or two my wing 3
will be strong enough to carry me any
where. First, I shall go after some
mosquitoes and little gnats."
"Still hungry," I said.
"I am always hungry," he an
answered.
"How about the pollywogs, the baby
trout, and the snails?"
"Oh, I leave them with my old skin
for the larvae that will come after me.
No more mud, and cold, and darkness
for me! All sunshine, green meadows
and sparkling water, and a gay life
from sunrise till evening, whirling and
dancing with my companions, chasing
all sorts of little flying creatures, and
skimming over the brooks and basking
in the sun. By next week thousands
of my relations will be out. Some of
the earliest to appear are those with
clouded wings and frost-dusted bodies,
then the golden brown ones, and next
the beautiful red ones, whose bodies
glow like rubles.
"After these comes the largest mem
ber of our family. He is the swiftest
flier of us all, a magnificent fellow,
dressed in mosaic of yellow, blue,white
and black. In July our dainty sisters,
the damoiselles, come out. I wish you
could see them flying over the shadiest
part of the brook, in their slow, hesi
tating way, stopping to rest every min
ute or two. Some have bodies of glis
tening green, with wings like black
satin; some have bodies of burnished
bronze, with dusky brown wings; and
still others, wings and bodies flecked
with creamy white; and so graceful
and slender are they ail.
"We generally begin our flight at
high noon, and dance, and whirl, and
chase until the sun falls low, and then
we ail go to sup on the harvest of lit
tle winged creatures that the summet
evening calls out."
"Always on the lookout for a meal,"
I said.
"Always," he answered; and spread
ing his now fully-dried wings, he sail
ed away.—Margaret W. Leighton.
Only a l'lrtli trig-Worm.
The hoy who goes fishing with a
pail of worms for bait, little knowt
what a pleasant hour he might have,
and yet make his outing much more
agreeable for the worms and for the
fish. He should take a 100k —a scien
tific peep—at the contents of that pail,
instead of throwing them ignorantly
away. After all his pains in digging
for the worms, he and they are scarce
ly acquaintances; and yet, if we should
ask him, he must admit that he has
dug up worms in the springtime, year
after year, and gone fishing, knowing
as little about the worm when his
sport was over as he did when he
started out. To see really what sort
of a fellow the common earthworm is,
first put him into a bowl of water. He
will soon wriggle himself free of every
particle of dirt, and you may then
make him more comfortable on some
dry, smooth surface while you study
the peculiar movements of his remark
able body, which consists of a series ot
segments, or rings, all alike in form,
except at the two ends; the anterior
end tapering to a blunt point; the
hinder end being broad and flattened.
Watch the worm shorten himself after
a long stretch. Projecting from the
sides and the lower part of each ring,
you will see the tiny bristles, called
setae, with which he manages to walk.
When he lengthens his body, the setae
on the hinder rings prevent him from
stretching backwards, because they, in
pointing backwards, stick into the
ground. The worm can, therefore,
stretch only forwards. In the same
manner, when he shortens his body,
the setae in the front rings stick into
the ground, and the hinder part of the
body is drawn up; he repeats this pro
cess every time he moves along. That
way of walking may seem
very complicated and wonderful,
but it is no more wonderful than that
you should be able to balance your
body on your two feet and walk with
out giving a thought to how you do it,
or to how wonderful it is that it can
be done without thought. Watch a
baby's effort to keep his balance in
learning to toddle only a few steps,
and you will understand that walking
seeins easy t > you, because you have
had so much practice. The usefulness
of the worms may be seen at once
when you co:apare some of the things
that they do with those that they are
unjustly accused of doing. They do
not destroy the roots of trees and of
plants. They eat half-decayed leaves,
which they are able to grind with the
muscles of the mouth; but they have
no teeth with which to gnaw. They
are useful to man in boring
through the ground and loosening the
soil to make it ready for the fibres of
plants to enter. Surface soil is more
or less loose, but the sub-soil is hard
and compact until the earthworms
have worked it. Our tallest trees,
even, would die if no opening were
made by the worms for their root
fibres to enter. To keep worm-life in
check, nature has provided the birds,
and anyone that has watched the robin
dine will see that there is no danger
of the earth worm supply's exceeding
the demand. —Our Animal Friends.
