The most influential personage in Spain, during the present momentous crisis of its fortunes,is the oueen Regent. Maria Christina. The maintenance of peace between Spain and the United States has been due in large measure to her conservatism, tact and sagacity in facilitating a change of ministry,and enabling Sagasta to recall General Weyler from Cuba at an opportune moment. She is by birth an Austrian Grand Duchess, a daughter of the Archduke Karl Ferdinand and his second wife, the Archduchess Elizabeth. She was conspicuous in her youth for beauty and aimability, and has shown during her career in Spain that she possesses keen intelligence and sobriety of judgmont— the best traits of the Hapsburg-Lorraine house. Alfonso XIII was born in 1886, after bis father's death. His mother has been the Regent daring his minority, and although an Austrian by birth, she has commanded the loyal support of her Spanish subjects. If she hod been Queen in her own right, she could not have exercised greater power and influence. The education of her son has been her chief care, and she has directed it with homely common sense and maternal affection. She has also faced all the responsibilities of government with courage and firmness. She is a good Queen and a wise woman, and her great ambition is to preserve the monarchy for her son. Whether she succeeds or fails in this supreme object, depends mainly upon the pacification of Cuba and the prevention of any outbreak of hostilities with the United States. She is the most powerful champion of peace in Spain, and has exerted herslf strongly during recent months to bring about a change of policy in Cuba.—Youth's Companion.

EBERHART, JOHNSON BLOCK, "No college of arts had been opened to his struggling youth. He had been born in a cabin and reared among the unlettered. He was a rail-splitter, a flatboat man, a country lawyer. Yet in all these conditions and associations he was a leader—at the rail-splitting, in the rapids, at the bar, in story-telling. In the broad common-sense way in which he did small things he was larger than any situation in which life had ?laced him. Europe did not know him. o the south, and not a few in the north he was an uncouth jester, an ambitious upstart, a reckless disturber. He was hated by the south, not only for his principles, but for himself. The son of the cavalier, the man who felt him to be a stain, despised this son of the people,this child of toil. He was distinguished from the abolition leaders by the fsirness and kindness with which he judged the slaveholders. He was opposed to hnman slavery, not because some masters were cruel, but because "all men" included the black man. Liberty is the law of nature. The human enactment cannot pass the limits of the state; God's law embraces creation. Mr. Lincoln had faith in time, and time has justified his faith. If the panorama of the years from '61 to '65 could [ have been enrolled before the eyes of his countrymen, would they have said— would they have said—that he was adequate for the great occasion > And yet, as we look back over the story of the civil war, he is revealed to us standing above all men of that epoch in his capacity and adaptation to the duties of the presidency."Not Their Exact Words. .Three dollar and a half kind at $1.75.

The uses of lemons are manifold, and the more we employ them the better we shall find ourselves. For all people, in sickness or in health, lemonade is not only a safe but a remarkably pleasant drink. It is a specific against worms and skin complaints. The pippins crushed may also De mixed with water and used as a drink. Lemon-juice is the best anti-scorbutic remedy known; it not only cures the disease, but what is better than a cure, it is a preventative. Sailors make a daily use of it for that purpose. It is a good thiag to rub the gums daily with lemonjuice to keep them in a healthy condition. It prevents chilblains. Lemon used in intermittent fevers is mixed with strong, hot black tea or coffee without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the part affected with a lemon. It is valuable also to cure warts and to destroy dandruff on the head by rubbing the roots of the hair with it. We think we have said enough to show how valuable, therefore, lemons are.—Kx. The Turkish Lady I Youth's Oom|>A!iion| The general tendency to look at the actions of others through one's own particular spectacles is frequently observed. Perhaps not so often noticed, however, is the habit of unconsciously rendering another's speech into one's own language. A Boston girl who had been taking her first lesson in bicycle riding expressed her satisfaction at home as the result of the experiment. "The man said," she repeated, "that I had made most satisfactory success for a novice." "Why, did he really say that?" was the surprised query. "Well, no," answered the Boston young woman,after a moment's reflection: 'what he did say was, 'you'll dofurst-rate for a new beginner !' " A friend of the poet Bryant chanced to be alone in his study when a cabinetmaker brought home a chair that had been altered. When Mr. Bryant returned, he asked. "Miss Robbins, what did the poet say about my chair?" "He said," answered the visitor, that the equilibrium is now admirably adjust- "What a fine fellow !" said Mr. Bryant, laughing. "I never heard him talk like that. Were those hit exact words?" "Well, he said. "It Joggles just right!" repeated Misa Robbins.

We can hardly realize, writes a correspondent from Constantinople, the full monotony of a Turkish lady's life. E very woman, rich or poor, with the least re- Sard to her character, must be in her ouseby Rundown. Only think of the long, dull winter afternoons and evenings when no friend can come near them, as all their female friends must be in their own houses, and male friends they cannot have. Even the men of their own family associate but little with them. On the Bospnorus their caiques are a peat resource to the Turkish ladies, out In Pera those of the upper classes can only go out, closed carriages, to the Sweet Waters, occasionally acompanied by their husbands on horse-back. But they may speak to no one while driving; their own husbands and sons cannot even bow to them as they pass, and no one would venture to say a word to his own wife or mother when the carriage polls up—the police would at once interfere. The highest mark of reaped is to torn your hack to a lady, and this is obligatory when any member of the Imperial harem peases.—Ex. "I know," said the candidate for the small office to the veteran, "that you wouldn't sell your vote." "No, suh, I wouldn't." "That yon can't be bribed ?" "Now you talkin', suh!" "But suppose I should make yon a present of $ 10. What would you think ?" The voter looked thoughtful, then said: "Well, Maria Jim, jedgln' by yo' pas' record, I'd either think you'd done loa' yo' min' or else yam's in de counterfeitin' business!"—Atlanta Constitution. g||| Ponxsotawhkt, Opi\ Public Squab*.
