The late King of the Netherlands
lost no opportunity of impressing on
his daughter Wilhelmlna an idea of her
great Importance. On one occasion the
Baroness Van R was taking the pre
scribed promenade with . the young
princess, when a man on horseback ap
peared. It was the baroness' brother,
who had just returned from Java.
Leaping from his horse, he clasped his
sister in his arms, covering her face
with kisses. Wilhelmlna, who was
seven at the time, was thoroughly scan
dalized, and the baroness hastened to
send off her brother.- Not another word
was spoken, and the walk being ended,
they returned to the palace. The little
girl recounted .-the story, which the
queen listened to attentively, thinking
of the irate king and his thick cane;
"Finish your luncheon," she said to her
daughter; "I will speak to the king."
"It is for me to speak. Papa made me
promise never to hide anything from
him." "Your father was In good health
then; now he is very ill, and I forbid
you to trouble him.". Without replying,
the little girl rose and went toward the
door. "Princess, the Queen of Holland
Orders you to stay here and keep si
lent," said Queen Emma. Wilhelmlna
stopped,, drew back, then, making a
profound courtesy, said: "Since it is
the queen who gives the order,? I obey,

Aoephaloua Roosters.
It was once thought impossible that
a human being could live and walk with
a broken neck, and perhaps still more
doubted that a rooster could live, stand
and be fed after the hatchet had sev
ered Its head from the body. But such
are the real hard facts. The phenom
enal rooster was exhibited some years
igo In Huntington, W. Vaw The exhlb-
tors said they got the fowl from a
farnser who had decapitated it after
which it got upon Its feet However
this may be, the headless, living rooster
was not a deception. It was fed through
a tube Inserted in its throat It Is obvi
ous that the farmer's stroke wa9 a little
too high, and that a portion of the back
brain still remained, and partially per
formed its functions. How long the
fowl lived I did not hear. One thing is
certain he died "game."
A negro, seeing, "millions In It," then
experimented on the galllnacious tribe,
and succeeded in turning out a fair dup
licate of the aforesaid acephalous curi
osity (for whom I made a picture of the
rooster with which to advertise), and
he started on a tour of exhibition. . He
returned not long after and told me he
was doing well, and could have made
some money at decapitating roosters for
other parties who wanted them for ex
hibition, but that he was prevented by
the authorities, upon the accusation of
cruelty. Forest and Stream, y .

began sliding the canoe down the beach
into the river, each springing in and
snatching his paddle as the boat was
launched.
Four of the crew knelt In tbe front
part of the canoe, working their pad'
dies furiously and yelling like so many
demons. The fifth, placing himself be
hind me, assumed the duties of cox
swain. The Instant we were In the stream,
the fields of Ice seemed stationary, ow
ing to our being swept along at the
same rate; but still I could not see how
we were to cross, and waited with some
anxiety for sthe first sheet of ice.
This'happened to be a large one. The
men pulled straight for it and as soon
as the prow of the canoe touched It
the four who were paddling sprang out
and dragged the canoe after them
across the tee. On reaching the other
side they launched it again, with wild
er shouts than ever, springing Into the
canoe at the same time, and resuming
their paddling as if for their lives.
These manoeuvers were repeated at
every sheet of Ice, and in a far shorter
time than I could have imagined, we
touched the Quebec side, when a num
ber of idlers, attaching a rope to our
canoe, ran us up the slope from the
river, and left me sitting, with my crew
still shouting and gesticulating, in the
very street Youth's Companion.
TRAIN THE LEFT HAND.
English Plan for Doing; Away with
"Writera Cramp.
An English writing master of repute,
named Frederick Falconer, had long
puzzled over the question of how to
provide a remedy for the distressing
trouble known as writers' cramp,
which lays hold of the wrist and band
of a man who is compelled to do much
writing, and forces him to stop work
and rest until the cramp departs. Now,
nature does not. usually provide an in
fliction for which there is no remedy,
so argued Falconer.
Like a flash came the solution of the
problem; and now all the teachers of
writing, bookkeeping and clerks
In
England are saying to each other
"Why "did we not think of that be
fore?" Falconer's line of reasoning was
simply this: Mature has provided man
with two hands. - ----- -
When he Insists on using only one for
some particular purpose, such as writ
ing, nature steps In and raps him over
the knuckles for his foolishness. In the
case specified' tbe rap over tbe knuckles
Is called "writers! cramp." Since writ
ing first became an art men, with tbe
exception pf a few persons naturally
left-handed, have written with the
right hand only. ' Falconer's proposl
tion is to have the pupils at the Eng
lish schools taught to write with either
band. Provided their education in. this
direction Is begun early enough, there
Is no reason "why the left band should
not be used to guide tbe pen as well as
the right Then good-by to writers'
cramp. When the right hand becomes
stiff with too 'much handling of the pen
the writer only needs to shift tbe pen
to the left band.
"What,, folly," says Mr. Falconer, "to
train boys'and girls to use but one
hand. .No wonder that the left is al
most losing, its usefulness. Why are
not carpenter? trained to saw with tbe
left hand as well as the right ball-play
ers to throw with either arm and sol
diers to shoot from either shoulder?
Fancy 'training a child to walk with
one leg only. ' Yet this Is just as sensi
ble as to allow him to grow np using
only one arm."
. When Their Hearts Were Fall.
I Overhead glittered, the stars of
cloudless sky in Jnne, and the full moon
beamedencbantin-gly on a landscape In
repose. Not & breath ruffled the leaves
of the trees, says the chronicler In the
Chicago Tribune, that lined the avenue
along frhich Bolivar Pyke and Buena
vista McCorkle ' were wending their
way slowly hpmeward from a meeting
of the Gyrogeosophlstical Society. Not
a ripple stirred the surface of the ro
mantic frog pond on the left In whose
bosom was mirrored the glorious firm
ament and not a sound came from the
suburban . farmhouse on the right
whose inmates were sleeping the deep
sleep of deliverance from the trials and
labors which beset them by day. :
"Bolivar!" exclaimed the maiden, as
something by the roadside reflecting
the pale radiance of the moonbeams
caught her eye, "what is that on the
ground?"
The young man stooped and looked
at it
"It's nothing but a snail, Buena vista,
he said. "The beauty of the night has
tempted It forth. It Is a wonder," he
continued dreamily, "that all inanimate
nature Is not out for a moonlight stroll.
The night is too lovely to be spent In
doors, even In restful slumber that tired
Nature exacts after a day of Incessant
toll."
The enjoyment of the wondrous love
liness of the evening seemed too deep
for words, however, and In silence the
young people proceeded slowly on their
way, communing only In that voiceless
yet eloquent language that expresses
itseii B9L& glance oi the eye, a pressure
of the hand, or a softly breathed sigh.
Long had they walked on thus In
ecstatic silence, when the gentle girl
again spoke.
'Bolivar," she said, "I think I see an
other snail there on the ground."
The young man stooped to Inspect It
Raising himself and slightly quickening
his faltering steps, he said: -

and malls them. Sometimes three or
four doctors having offices in the same
building will employ one man among
them for this purpose. Members of
these professions are notoriously poor
business men, and some of them lose
about half they make owing to that
fact
"But this man." persisted the first
speaker, "does even more than that He
has taken up that idea and carried it to
its logical conclusion. He has an office
of his own, and all bills are payable at

afford to out Salt Lake City from his
route. The attractions of the place,
including the Mormon Temple, Taber
nacle and Church institutions, the
Great Salt Lake deader and denser
than the Dead Sea in the Holy Land
the picturesque environment and the
warm sulphur and hot springs, are
greater to the square yard than any lo
cality on the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Den
ver & Rio Grande and Colorado Mid
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific (Central Route)
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
linepassing directly
through Salt Lake City. The route
through Salt Lake City via the Rio
Grande Western Railway is famous all
the year round. On account of the
equable climate of Utah and Colorado
it is just as popular in winter as in
summer. Send 2c to J. D. Mansfield,
