As a natural result of this very in judicious pvoeeeding the prince's face was in a very few mi mites covered with strealcr of green, blue and vermilion. The sight of his smeared face terrified his governess, who bogged the artist to remove the colors; and Mr. Frith, armed with rags and turpentine, had nearly completed his task when the pungent spirit found its way into a scratch upon the child's cheek. The future kaiser screamed with pain, as saulted the eminent painter with his fists and hid himself under a large table, where he yelled until he was tired. Mr. Frith declares in his "Rem iniscences" that the little -prince nhowed a most unforgiving spirit and revenged himself afterward by sitting bo badly that the painter failed alto gether to produce a satisfactory like ness. SURE OF A FINE FUNERAL Mri of Labec, Me., Provide for Mortu ary EnierHrencle. The town of Lubec, Me., is one of the go-ahead villages of the Tine Tree state, and the one thing wanting to enable it to keep up with the procession is a hearse. The citizens investigated the condition of surrounding towns, and learned that every one of them had a hearse, and tbey considered it a burning and municipal shame that Lubec should be so far behind the times. Therefore, it wai' resolved to have one, although, according to the rates of longevity in Lubec.it was not considered likely there would be much use for it, says the Lewiston Journal. A mass meeting of the citizens was called to discuss the grave subject. The enthusiasm was unbounded, and it was at once decided to purchase the ve hicle by voluntary subscriptions, mak ing a sort of joint stock concern or hearse corporation. Each subscriber chipped in one dollar, but the wary and thrifty Lubecker insisted upon a pro viso whereby he is enabled to get a show for his white ally. It was unan imously agreed that if uny stockL-lder had use for the hearse within a certain number of years from the date of his subscription, he, the said subscriber, should be entitled to a rebate of the sum paid in. , i e t !'- i.ahr, ; :i .-.., its the ai- vnnl t" Ins lnin.

A CENTURY OF DISMEMEERMENT Where la the Aliened Integrity of the Turkish Umpire? That idle talk about the integrity of the Turkish empire deceive nobody to day. The dismemberment of Turkey be gan over 100 years ago. In 1783 Turkey lost the Crimea. In 1830 khe lost Greece. In 1857 Moldaviaand Wallachia, the two Danubian principalities, were united and finally became the present flourish ing kingdom of Ilounmnia under King Charles in 3881. In 1802 the Turkish gar rison evacuated Belgrade, and in 1878 Servia became an independent king dom. Bulgaria is virtually indepen dent under Prince Ferdinand, and Turkey quietly neiiiiesced in the, ab sorption of eastern Itoiimelia. in 1887.

What is the most remarkable monu ment ever raised to the advance of civ ilization in Africa? asks the New York Journal. A well-known African explorer, Jo seph Thomson, thought it was a mighty pyramid of gin bottles, lie saw a great grathering of Kru coast negroes en gaged in worshiping this strange altar. So strange was this incident that many people would refuse to believe it. Mr. Thomson, therefore, took a photograph of tbe scene and brought it home to the Koyal Geographical society in London, The Krus arc the finest of West Af rican races. They are, in fact, about the only people in that part of the world who will do a ny work. European commerce is practically dependent on them. To these noble savages gin is the spirit of the white man's civiliza tion in more senses than one. It repre sents his power, his philanthropy und his religion. As soon ns they tasted gin they fell down and worshiped it. The more they tasted the more they fell down. After awhile they fell down so much that the European govern ments thouglit.lt -wig-lit be a good thing to restrict the circulation of gin. The most remarkable fuct of all is that the contents of the gin bottles were im bibed by one mnn, a native, whose over powering thirst lor the wnite mans spirits eventually drove him mad. So the bottles stand a monument to the monumental drinker of darkest Africa. HIGH BUILDINGS. One Wai Planned liy a Student Thirty Yearn Age, An, old graduate of the Troy Poly technic institute was looking at the high Neave building n few days ago, reports the Cincinnati Commercial Tri bune, and said: "That high building niukea me think of a graduate of my class who was a mai el. We thought he was crazy, and hi mysterious end only deepens the conviction that our surmise was cor rect He wns eve-rlastingly speculat ing upon the seemingly improbable. At one time he said that the day would come when they would build houses 100 stories high, and to show how it would be done he made a drawing of a bridge, as we called it, standing on end. Then he said all you have to do to finish the thing is to cut stones to fill the spaces, put in the joists and raftwn, and there you are. And thutwasmore than 30 years ago, before the high buildings had been thought of by any architect. And the plans of the present are prac tically the same as proposed by Fay w hen he was but a boy. He graduated, and was looked upon as the brightest man of the class, though everyone thought him peculiar. He went to the west Colorado,. I think and disap peared as mysteriously as if he had gone to another planet. I think he was never heard of at least I have never heard of him from that day to this. Surely jeniu, nmi madness are near allied." SALT LKK Cllt. As Impoitant Factor 1 Trsnseontinn.tHl Trvel. No one orossius the oootinect tan afford to cut Salt Luke City from bis route.
