'''. " The Baby King of Spain.' r--.
Little Alfonso XHL' king- o Spain,
whose fifth birthday will be celebrated
in May, leads the most joyless life im
aginable.. He. is sensitive and sickly. '
He is . frequently taken down with vio-'
lent attacks o colic, which last for days ,
and shake his tiny weak body into a con
dition of pitiable thinness. Consequent
ly he is undersized, white and languid.
His mother coddles him and watches
him so closely that he rarely, if ever, has
an opportunity for a bit of boy's play or
other healthful exercise. He passes only
one hour daily in the open air, and this
by the side of his mother in the royal
carriage. Occasionally he is allowed tp
leave the carriage and walk in the park
sedately in the society of his nurse, hia
English governess and the Countess of
Peralta. '
The people of Madrid say that the total
or tne ages of these three companions is
160 years. The Countess of Peralta is at
least ninety , and was the head governess
of little Alfonso's father very many
years before the- miniature king was
dreamed of. At all events, it is certain
that the royal companions, with their
160 years, frown on all royal capers, for
the occasional attempts of their puny
charge to run or jump, or throw stones
are suppressed with military prompt
ness. Once in two weeks the son of the Duke
of Casa-Jruj is commanded to the palace
to play with his sovereign, but there is
little or no benefit in this for Alfonso
XIII, since the three women of the 160
years are with the children constantly
to prevent all boyish exuberance. So
the small, unhappy sovereign worries
along his uarrow royal way with a bur
den of childish misery that has rendered
him prematurely sad and indifferent.

Italian indignation 'takes the form of
pelting tourists with stones, - accord ng
to the report sent out from Florence late
ly. Every one will sympathize with the
unfortunates thuabrutallv assaulted and
condemn the contemptible cowards com
posing the mob. But it will have one
goxl effect. It will turn the tide of tour
ists in another direction, and Italy will
suffer by the loss of American dollars.
Of course, Switzerland, the Tyrol, and
other regions will receive their quota as
lefore, but some of the tourists in turn
ing back from 1 taly may conclude that
there are a few points in their own coun
try worth seeing. Once the movement
westward is started, it will increase to
mammoth proportions. The west has
the scenic attractions, and they captivate
and enthrall. One visit .will but Whet
the appetite for more, and Italjr's loss
will be our gain. .
r'attt Time in ISookmaking.
The fastest time on record for the
making, compiling and publishing of a
statute book comes from Oklahoma, i
The legislature recently adjourned was
in session 120 days. On the morning of j
the last day there had not been passed 1
enactments that when printed would fill i
to exceed sixty pages of an ordinary law j
book. At the close of the last day the ;
signature of the governor was placed on j
enough more to fill a statute book of",
1,260 pages without the index.
Among these were included a code of j
civil and criminal procedure in both dis- j
trict," probate and justice courts and laws !
governing crimes and punishments cov
ering 300 pages. Within thirty-five days
from the final adjournment these laws
were copied, corrected and arranged in a
manner that Chief Justice Green, of the;
territory, pronounced perfect, with side'
and head notes for each section. With
in forty-eight hours after the compiling
committee had turned in its last copy
the printed volume, comprising over
1,300 pages, was turned over to Secretary
Martin bound . in law sheep. Kansas

A Sinking Mountain.
Two or three miles west of Hiawassee

on the west side of the mountain,
Mr. Hamilton, of Athens. 6a., is mining
for corundum. He found that his sup
ply of water, with which he used to
wash his corundum, had ceased to flow.
One of his workmen was despatched to
find out the cause. He quickly returned
and said that the mountain was sinking.
Soon the alarm spread and parties start
ed to solve the mystery. ,
They soon found that a very large fis
sure was opening in the earth in the
were falling in every direction. . The
amount of land encompassed was about
toxty acres. By examining closely they
found that other fissures were opening
on the southwest and northeast, crossing
the mountain. The opening in some
places is as much as six feet wide and
the depth is unknown. Cor.- Atlanta

A Recent Cable Dispatch.
The Anglo-Turco-Russian complica
tion is growing more complicatedly com
plex. It now appears that the English
Roumanian interests, being jeopardized
by the contingnity, or in fact proximity,
of the ulterior understanding approxi
mated by the Montenegrin protocol, and
the disintegration of the ultimate con
junction precipitated by the Herzegov
inian interpolations,-the elementary at
titude of the signatory powers is thereby
annulled and confirmed. This, while it
insures the autonomy of . the Bosphorian
conference, infallibly results in lowering
the toll on the Suez canal eleven scndos
each way, children and dogs half price.
This in an immaterial degree devitalizes
Premier Crispi's ultimatum eliminated
by the Hungarian-Austro imbroglio, and
the belligerents ' return to their corners.

The dead Belgian prince was the hand
somest young royal gentleman in Eu
rope. , Tall , and powerfully ..built and
possessing the golden blonde hair and
fresh, bright complexion of the Flemish
natives, he was an exceedingly attractive
looking youth. The delicacy of his col
