V ' . f A ROYAL. KID. Bulswla Wrat T. ild VI " Ove ta Vlelt of tlio Bmby Fringe. A man of 81 years and a boy of M many bonrs are the two most conspicu ous inures in Europe today; One, it is feared, mnBt soon olcse one of the most remarkable pnblic careers of thin or my otto age. The other, bora in a paUoa, may some day sit upon rather shaky throne. All Europe has smiled indul gently over the extravagant welcome with which Prince Ferdinand and nil subject; received the wee bit of huraan . ' ity at Sofia. The royal youngster must tiiitik this world an wful humbug. Btifore he had I ohanoe to enjoy his first meal he was frightened half to death by the firing of 101 cannon under bis window. He had hardly donned his swaddling clothes before he was con demned to be "Bearer of the Collar of the Order of St. Alexander." The poor child would have howled in protest, But the royal decree informed him that as the chief of three regiments of infan try, cavalry and artillery no such weak ness would be tolerated. Borne ordina ry infant indulgences might be permit ted him as prince and duke, but as full fledged "Knight of the First and Fourth Class Military Order of Valor" he most preserve the stern dignity of bis rank. It was a hard week for him. In the first place, the palace yard was thronged - night and day by his singing, dancing, affectionate subjects. His royal daddy, in spite of the nurse's protests, persisted in dangling him at window several times a day, to the frantic delight of the cheering crowds. The whole prin cipality took aweek's holiday, and the rejoicing was so spontaneous and unre strained that the nation found the speo tacle a welcome relief from the solemn croukings about war.

The. force at the Washington ordnance shops has nearly completed the assem bling of the first nickel steel gun for the nnvy, and the result is awaited with in terest. The ordnance officers have been engaged some time in the construction of a furnace for beating the tone of this gun, which is of 8 inch caliber. The furnace will apply the heat to the gun in a horizontal instead of in a per pendicular position. The jacket, the piece of metal which fits over the base of the hi be and gives it greater strength, will be forced over the tube while the latter is kept beyond the expanding in fluences of the heat by the constant ap plication of a stream of water. The delay in assembling the gun, the forgings of which have been ready for some time, has been caused by the dif ficulty in securing a pyrometer, a deli cats instrument tor registering the fear ful heat of the furnace. This instru ment has been received, and everything is ready for the assembling of the gun. There is naturally mnch interest among ordnance experts over the result of the new system of putting great guns to gether, for, if the proposed method is a success, it will take the place of the old way, which required a good deal of shifting of heavy weights and the use of a shiinking pit. There is also much interest in the trial of the nickel steel gun. It is ex peered that it will prove stronger and at longer life than the simple steel gun. Washington Btar. Died While the Doctor Dninllt Here is the latest episode of Parisian life. The cold weather of late has been rather severe on the simian population of the gay capital, and it was keenly felt by Maurice, the orang-outang of the Jardian d'Acclimatation. When Maurice fell ill, it was decided by the managers of the Jardin that inasmuch as Maurice possessed far mare resem blance to a man than to an animal, a regular doctor should be summoned, and accordingly the services of a physi cian were invoked. On bis arrival how ever, the doctor declared that, as the patient occupied an intermediary place between the qua dram anes and the ho me nea, its treatment should devolve npon a veterinary surgeon, who, bow ever, hesitated to assume the re sponsibility on the ground that Mau rice was more human than beast While the discussion was in progress between the two medicos the monkey died. Boston Herald. An Arohblahop on Suialdoa. The archbishop of Canterbury, at a church convocation the other day, en tered a strong protest against the grow ing tendency to what is called "cod dling suicides." He protested against the conventional verdict of temporary insanity in order to grant a Christian burial. In spite of tbe repugnance to speak ill of tbe dead, suicide is becoming too prevalent, and a healthier puhlic sentiment against it should be encouraged. He urged that newspaper headings, instead of being "Romantic," "Pathetic," "Interest ing," should be "Revolting Self Mul der." London Exchange. IVantoaCoBVlot Wife.

Of fail Sheridan-like dealings with tradesmen an anecdote is told. During l aoarclty of ice a neighbor of Dumas snt to a dealer for some and was told that the limited stock on hand was kept lor the use of the famous author.. Then the gentleman sent again and bade his servant ask tor the ice in the name of It. Dumas. The plan succeeded. The lot was liven, and the servant put down the money on the counter. "Ah," cried the tradesman, "give me back that icot Now I know that yon are not from 41. Dams. He never pays ready money. " "My father," said M.

Mon char Rossini, when yon enter a room, the very lacquer prononnoes your name with pride as he announces yon. " Then turning to the company he con tinued: "Announce, for instance, M. le Duo d'Aumale and Bignor Rossini at the same moment and aw on which aide all beads and all hearts will incline first All eyes would been the great mueioian who created 'II Barbiare de Seviglia.'

A number of business announcements an to be found at Pompeii, that brisk little city to whose daily life the energy of Vesuvius has lent a kind of immor tality.

And then an old colored man in a fad ed suit of secondhand clothes and a bat with half the brim gone went out and spoke kindly to the high spirited ani mal, rubbed his nose, patted him on the neck, climbed into the damaged boggy and said, "Git along, sonny." And the horse moved off at a brisk trot with bead high in the air. Chi cago Tribune. Wanted a Oood Foot, Models are an important part of a sculptor's need. I doubt whether in this particular fe differ from oar Greek predecessors, for we read of cbatoe pres ents, such as peacocks, given by Phidias to his models, showing bow much be valued them, presumably because it was as difficult then as now to get good ones. To be a model is a business of Itself, and when we remember the number of art schools then are, even in London alone, and the many artists who ar en tirely dependent npon them, it may b realized what a large body they must be. The'men are mostly Italians, chiefly, I am told, from the neighborhood of Naples. Tbe women are, as a rule, Eng lish and have often sat from babies. To find swell formed foot is almost an im possibility among tbs best of them, ow ing to the long cramping in boots, but friend once told me tbat he had a cast of the font of an Indian woman that was as beautiful as the foot of a Greek statue. Onr English models lsck often tbe suppleness of figure that distinguiabi more southern races, such as tbs Italian, which is partly accounted for by the heavy, cumbersome clothes our climate necessitates. But such as they are we have to make the best of them, and a really good one is eagerly sought after. Good Words. The "Tomb of Gain." The early traditions concerning tb city of Damascus are enriousand inter esting, even though untrustworthy and contradictory. By some of the ancient writers it was maintained tbat tbe city stands on or near the site of tbe garden of Eden, and just outside there is beautiful meadow of red earth from which, it is said, God took the material from which be created Adam. This field is called Ager Damascene, and near its center there formerly stood pillar which was said to mark the pre cise spot where onr first parent was cre ated. A few miles out there is an emi nence called the Mountain of Abel, sup posed by some to be the place where tb first two brothers ottered their aacrv fices, also the spot where the first mur, der was committed. The most interest ing spot pointed ont, however, is about three leagues from tbe city, when an old ruin is shown which all the orient believe to be the tomb of Cain. The traditions respecting this famous spot are known to antedate the Christian era by several hundred years. Up to tbs time of Vespasian the interior Of tb tomb is said to bave been lighted and warmed by one of the "ever burning' lamps so commonly used by tb dents. St. Louis Republic.
