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. New York Son's

". THE NICKEL STEEL GUN.
' Intrreet ft tfeo Gororamtrnt Ordnance Shape
Omr the Km Method of AaauabUag.
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.

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.

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.

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

"My father," said M. Dumas his,

ental desire, glanced toward Rossini and
added: "I should prefer to close my life
aa an illustrious composer. 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

And then we all filled onr glosses with

drank the health of Bussini. The old

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.
