BABY STUART. A Popular MI*conoept Ion of Van* il) kc'N Clrvvr I'oint Inu. If ti:o number of houses in which there hang reproductions of a certain drawing of a little child's head after Vandyke could bo enumerated, it would cause astonishment. There is nothing surprising iu the popularity of the head, llut whatever genius named It "Hahy Stuart" Is responsible for many ludicrous misapprehensions. There are women who believe that tlds head was painted by Gilbert Stuart. There are women who have asked if it was the infant of A. T. Stewart. Again. there are women who know that it depicts one of the children of Ghnrles 1. but who do not know which vmic ui ma cuiuircn it b", whether it Is a boy or n girl, or who painted the j original. The head is that of the sec- I ond son of Charles I. and the name of | the child was James. Vandyke painted him time and time again. One of the family groups of Charles' children by Vandyke hangs in Turin. From the head of little James in that group a copy was made by Itaffacllo Cancvari, a drawing, and that copy hangs In the Academy of St. I,uke at ltome. From Canevarl's drawing tlie countless army of photographs, engravings, lithographs and prints which have spread to the uttermost parts of the earth proceeded. Let us change the title, for we think "Baby Stuart" has done duty long i euough. Why not call him "Little Jnnics?" Then, at least, all his worshipers would know his sex. He became King James II of England in 1G8G, and, according to eminent authority. he gave evidence of possessing all the vices of his race without any of Its virtues. His roigu was short and Infamous, lie was in exile at St. Gortunlu when he died in 1701. Such was the clnihbv nud miilolns* innkinn royal baby in the cap.?Itostou Transcript. REMOVING A RING. A Jeweler T?.-11h lloiv to TnUc Od One Tlint Ilnu Grown Tli^lit. Most girls who have had baby rings have had trouble in removing tlicm from their lingers. "There is really no necessity for all this fulo about removing a tight ring," said a jeweler. "In fact, as in everything else, the secret of success lies in knowing how to do it. tlcre is a recipe that I have found unfailing for removing a tight ring, and there is uo painful surgical operation Involved either: Thread a needle Hat In tlie eye, using thread that is strong, but not too coarse, then pass tlie head of the uecdle under the ring. Care, of course, must be used i:i this, and it would be best to soap the needle before bogiuning. The needle having been IKiasuu mrougu, pull llio thread through u few Inches toward the hand?so." Ity this time the jeweler had passed iue needle and thread under the rb?j? on his own linger and was prepared to illustrate the little lecture. "Wrap the long end of the thread uround the Anger toward the nail in this manner, then take held of the short end and unwind It?So. The thread, thus pressing against the ring, will gradually remove It, however tight or swollen the linger."?I'ittshurg Dispatch. DmiiHli Hospitality. A correspondent of . the Dundee Advertiser writes from Denmark: "The people of Denmark, though sprung from the same stock as ourselves, are Infinitely more polite and hospitable? so much so that my friend the Scotch laudowuer, who is Scotch to the backbone and never more Scotch than when out of Scotland, early came to the conclusion that their politeness, besides being 'a mlchty trouble to themselves, was a sheer waste of time.' I did net find It so. 1 rejoiced that It was one of their characteristics, for they were ever willing to show me their farms and their dallies niul tlielr bacon cueing establishments, though I had been assured before leaving this country that the Danish creamery at least was Shut against the stranger. "Like most continental people I have met, the Daue puts himself to no end of trouble to help you. and after he gives all the information you want you must needs go to his home and drink his drink and smoke his cigars, as old friends in this country might do after years of separation."

One of the most interesting entries In the parish register of St. Werburgh's, Derby, relates to the marriage of Dr. Johuson and 1 lie widow Dorter, which was celebrated in St. Werburgh's. It reads: "Mard.?Saudi ^Johnson, of ye palish of St. Mary's, in Lichfield, and Liizabeth Dorter, of ye parish of S. Philip, In B'liain." Why the couple should have traveled ironi i>irming?sam to Derby to bo wed Is greatly dark. Even Itcswell confessed that he could not understand the reason. Johnson, however, gave him an amusing account of tlie Journey. They must have looked n qucerly matched pair as they walked up the nlsle of Rt.

I A THRILLING SIGHT. CATCHING AND KILLING THE MOM- | SFER TUNNY FISH. j Thoy .%? ? Flrnt Driven Into Fior| innnit Xc?m In the ItliMlUerr^ncau Sen nn?l Are Thou StnliM ?"d ! blushed tu Dent!. With S>i?.?r?. | One of the most thrilling nnd won dcrful sights in the world 1? that of the j tunny fisheries of the Mediterranean ! sea. The pursuit of these great and j swift fishes is not a mere tauie operation j of netting, it is a light between man I and sea creatures sueh as is duplicated | nowhere except in the whale fisheries. | The tunny Is a huge mackerel. He is a predaceous tlsh, and his course through tiie sens Is that of a destroyer without j parallel. So deadly is the tunny to the ] schools of herring and similar food lislies that he is called the herring hog. In our waters ho is known more generally as the horse mackerel. The tunny fisheries are distinctly Eu ropean. and tlioy are the oldest industry that is known in the Mediterranean sea. To capture tliein men tnust band themselves together in large bodies, lor llshermen singly could do nothing with these lish.es, which grow to a length of ten feet and weigh over half a ton sometimes. Therefore there is a system of co-operation on the coasts that are visited by the tunny, a system which dates back to the Phoenicians, who were great tunny catchers in their time. The perfection of this system is due, among other tilings, to the fact that the big lishes have absolutely regular habits. In normal times they can he relied on to make their appearance at certain periods almost to the minute. When they come, it is in huge schools that can be seen afar, for they scour the waters like ships of war, and the leapiugs of their prey and the ieapiugs of their own bulky bodies beat the deep into white foam and lather. Since they are so exact in their habits, the Hshcrnicu prepare for them always before they arrive. At some designated spot are spread enormous nets, exceedingly deep au?l made of the strongest of line. These are uet designed to catch the tunnies. They arc spread out merely to force the tishes to edge i:i and in until they are led to the real prison net, which is a vast con ii-ivance t;i*i m au immense square and powerful enough lo defy anything that swims. As soon as the last of the school has entered this lioxlikc inelosure the sides of the great net are raised at a signal. At lirst the imprisoned lishes do not show any signs of alarm, hut as the net rises, Inch l.y inch, from the water depths gleaming, swordlike backs appear here and there above the surface, darting with incredible swiftness from side to side of tlio uet. Each instant more of these living blades appear above the surface. Then the lishes begin to lenp. Here one lauuches himself straight out of the water?500 pounds of glorious life?toward the sky, to crash hack into the sea with a liaillike blow of sides and tail that makes the ocean echo. Another ami another rises and falls back, boon the scene Is as if the abysses of the sea were spouting their inhabitants, for hundreds of immense silver flashing lishes rise everywhere at once within the net. llut now a new element outers. Long, narrow fishing boats push into the inelosure. In them stand brown men with lances and spears and big knives lashed to polos. Then begins a . light that Is terrible to see. The men tks;:?t madly into the struggling masses of fishes. The fishes leap and roll and dive and l^ap again, hammering the ! sea with tails that churn like the screws of steamships and whiten tho waves with foam, before many minutes boats and men are dreuched with i bloody water. The surface of tho ocean Is red. Oat of the smoking 1 spray peer faces now and then that are dabbled with blood till they look ( scaicely human. Now and then u man slips and falls among the harried fishes. Then there ' are loud screams from his companions ' and cries of supplication from him as I lie calls to his patron saint, for it Is no Joke to fall among those mighty bodies that are dashing around In their death throes. So tho tight continues till in that inclosed space of sea there is not a tlsh alive. 1-1 very boat is half full of water II llil lfill.ti.it ilmvn Willi livlnir oil ' ?

The inhabitants of i the towns near the scene of this fishing make a fete day of the arrival of the tunny, for it menus food and employment for many hundreds of men, women and children. The fish is n favorite art'ele of food, especially when salted, ami the roe is n great delicacy, which livings fancy prices. The tunnies that i are caught off the Italian coasts have to be passed, through the custom house when they are landed, like any other j merchandise, and the streels there pre- i sent a strange appearance then, for on j all sides are wheelbarrows full of the j shapely, monstrous creatures,?New ^ York Press. ltr<t T'ntnt In flew t'fiiKlnnd.

"Some day when 1 have accumulated a stake," said one of the bright bellboys at the Blossom House the other day. "1 am going to have some fun." "What are you going to do?" a bystander asked. "I am simply going to some big hotel in Chicago or St. Louis aud live for a day," and the hoy paused to let the remark soak In. "And that's your Idea of a good time, Is It?" queried the curious listener. "Hold on! 1 am not through yet. 1 am going to a big hotel with three big grips, suid I am going to make the bellboy carry all of them up to the room for inc. I won't carry even the smallest one.

Tn olden Times, when Ktiropenn kings were as plentiful as Kentucky colonels i are today. It was not an exceptional J occurrence for a king to disappear and never been heard of again.

Long ! after lie would have died In the course ; of nature tils eountryuieu longingly j awaited his coming. Even up to tliis day the legend of the return of King Sebastian is believed by many, aud on stormy nights credulous ' Portuguese citizens will wrap their cloaks about them nnd go outside and ' watch the storm, thinking that tbo king may appear in a cloud of flro again to rule.
