Cooper shops grew with the dtettUerie*.

He died and was hurled. The people, a great multitude, stood uncovered by the side of hta open grave and listened, reverently, to the words of the preacher, who recounted the many good things the man, now dead, had said and done when ttviag, though some marveled much at his neglect to "adorn a tale and point a moral." And long lines of civil ■Ode ttes, with their plumes nodding in the breese and their rich regalia, a picture of beauty, threw over the rich easket “the broad mantle of charity," and east Into the open grave the emblems of Immortality. The man had Hvad and was dead and buried, and the great world, fergst ting bis faults and frailties, remem bered only hto excellences.

The Tint Glass, "The first glass of beer I over drank was like taking a dose of medicine,” said a young man who bore the nose end flash marks of a regular old toper.

But tost is just toe way moat drunkards are Eliminate the saloons of their social features, and you have crippled them of boys. Few men, I fancy, ever took their first drink of liquor when atone. Without congenial and sympathising companions, there is little fascination in the cup for the beginner. Do these lines catch the eye of one who prefers the society of the set that bangs around saloons end billiard rooms to that of honest, true-hearted, sober boys? Beware left one day you.

One of^the'beat*known stories la connection with too late Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson’s advocacy of tam parance tells how he had been on a visit to one of the three or four small towns in England which have no pub lic houses.

Nobody spoke for some time, but presently the Owl blinked at him with an appearanoe at some interest "Will tt hurt much?" he Inquired. "Will whet hurt?" asked toe aston ished Elephant “Being photographed.” “Well, of all the Ignorant Owls—” "Don't you call me an ignorant fowl, dr," croaked the Owl fluffing up his feathers In a fine tantrum. "I sold ‘lgnorant Owl,'" explained the Elephant "Do you think I would hurt the feelings of a bird of your po sition by colling him a fowl? No, not for twenty trunks." The Owl accepted the apology in the handsomest manner. "Os course If you didn’t say tt It’s all right," he said; “but really, when it comas to fowl*—” "Os course, of course," hastily as sented the Elephant "I quite under stand your feelings.” "Well," simpered Miss Opossum, "I dare aay I am very stupid, but I must confess I do not know what being pho tographed means." And, It appeared, neither did any of the others, so they appealed to the Elephant To tell toe truth, he had very little idea himself, but of course he could not acknowledge that after his rude re mark to the Owl, so he tried to explain. ’Tt'g what royalties and people of im portance have done to them—" he be gan. • "Anything like vaccination?" said the Owl.

"The Monkey.” "What with?” "Oh, he's got the proper thing, I as sure you,” said the Elephant, "and be knows all about It You see, it's like this—on artist man come here a little while ago with a box on three long legs, and he used to tls his head up in a doth and look through a hole in the box.” "What did he do that for?" asked the OwL "He couldn't see anything If his head was tied up in a doth," remarked Mas ter Parrot "Clever boy,” said his father, approv ingly. "Wsll, I don’t quite know what tt was tor," sold too Elephant, thought fully, "bat ho always did It; and one day he got his heed in the doth and couldn’t ace where he was going, so he tumbled into the river, sad the Bhln’oceroa had him for lunch—said he was very nasty, too, tasted of chem icals. and mode him ill." "What became of the box?" asked the OwL .. "The Monkey took tt home,” said the Elephant "He knows all about It bseanse he saw toe man do it, lota of times.” "What do yon have to do when yon goV inquired the Owl, after e panes. "Oh, it's very simple.

"Os course not,” said the ROephabt, who began to get quite irritable; “you don't understand. He doesn’t take me on glass—only my face, yon know.” "What doss be do with your body, then?" sold Master Parrot “It's my opinion that It’s a pack of nosaenaedecided the Owl.

Tha words of tha old post, "Born to command, trained up in sovereignty,’’ describe Alfonso XIII., th* 10-jeer-old King of Spain, who at hie birth suc ceeded to the throne.' Yet authority has Its disadvantages, and there are times, no doubt, when the youngest sovereign in Europe envies hto boy subjects, A writer in the English il lustrated Magarine pictures Alfonso as a pale, thin and delicate-looking little fellow. It was during hto dally drive that I first saw him. With his fair hair in clined ta be curly, hto blue eye, and his tone gentle In its expression of lan guor, the little king reminded me ol that Philip IV., made famous by the pencil of Velasques. The thin lips were almost bloodless, the features seemed too fatigued to possess any definite expression except for the far off look of dreaming and patience In the eyes. He smiled, nevertheless, continuous ly and rather drearily, and looked un mistakably bored. He seemed to be going through hto afternoon’s drive ns he would go through any other of hto innumerable royal duties, obedient ly but mechanically. He was dressed In a sailor costume, hto head bore—a small head, moreover, giving no prom ise of Intellect; and the little hoy, look ing like one In the first days of con valescence from some almost fatal fever, still smiled mechanically as tbe carriage rolled slowly on. Alfonso XIIL has an English governess among other Instructors, but hto education to under the direct and personal supervision of his mother. His exalted rank prevents wi indulging in the. usual sports of boyhood, and one of the stories related of him has a pathetic rids In this re spect He was seen one day gulag with uncommon interest oat of one of the windows of the royal palace in the direction of the Manx snares. He was asked what he was looking at and he pointed out a couple of urchins who were busy and happy making mud pies, and Alfonso XIII begged, even with tears In hto eyes, to be allowed to go and make mud pies with them. He was little consoled by th* informa tion that etiquette forbade kings to In dulge la pastimes so unexalted. At other times Alfonso takas hta monarchy more seriously, and frequently clinches an argument by announcing autocrat ically, '1 am the king.” GAMES FOR EVENINGS. Acting Proverb*. In tote gome each player fixes upon a proverb which he tells by actions in stead of by words. Tha first player, for Instance, might come Into the room holding a cop in his hand; then, by way of acting his proverb, be might re peatedly make an appearance of at tempting to drink out of the cup, but of being prevented each time by the cup slipping out of hto hands, thus in dumb show illustrating the proverb; "There-, many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the u» •• The seoond might come into tbe room rolling a stone or something to rro reeent it.
