Sketch of Maria Christina. A newspaper correspondent offers this personal description of Maria Christina, regent of Spain: A pale, austere face, , cold and changeless as marble: features of the Austrian type, with full lips and projecting mouth: blond hair, with no tihge of warmth, what the French call ashen blond: pale, steel blue eyes, with sparse lashes and unlighted with soft or tender gleams: small,patrician hands, wrists and feet; a figure graceful and charming in its proud carriage, espe | daily fitted for an equestrienne, and j she rides frequently. igyps* tl A Woman's View Of Our Jackies.

Most of the men on the ship were society Idlers who had rich fathers to p H y their bills, and It was funny to think of them on the ships scrubbing away for dear life to make their clothes look well. .... Men who had boon most particular about their appearance at home had re lapsed Into the most abject state or in difference on shipboard and wore al most saffron hued ducks. Men who had not bothered so much about the cut oi their ties and tile latest dancing step, Put had spent their summers camping in the woods Instead of at Newport or Bar Harbor, squabbled over their al lowance of soap and were the envy of the erstwhile society dudes, who had not the muscle or the experience to scrub their garments to tho same degree of whiteness.

Every man seemed to he possessed of a fierce ambition to get all he wanted for himself and let every Other man look out for himself. When they had gobbled everything on the ta ble. all stopped rather regretfully, and our friends again were prepared to no tice our existence. They assured us thut their appetites were In a measure satisfied, although they at all times baffled appeasing. At first the men had done their own cooking and had great larks over it. Heggle had expected to shine when he tried his chafing dish skill in the fchip kitchen. He bragged so much to the other men of how much better the bill of fare would be when he was on cook duty that a good many of them who had tried his Welsh rarebits and oysters at home were inclined to have pleasant anticipations. But, alas! the beans were harder and the potatoes soggier than ever when he cooked, and poor Reggie was almost mobbed by the disgusted sailors. The most popular man on shipboard was a little Irishman, a drayman or something of that sort, who had kept bachelor’s hall for himself before the war broke out and who could cook the potatoes until they were so mealy and nice that they almost melted in the mouth and whose fried bacon, we were assured, was a poem in itself. When they were on eook duty, most of the men tried to vary the monoumy of the menu as much as possible. They made rice puddings, using prunes in stead of raisins, and cooked the food in every way which Imagination could suggest and skill could execute.

Twaits has enjoyed the I unique privilege of having had two sil | ver weddings. He was born at Lynn, | Norfolk. Ktigland, 82 years ago, but has been living In Saginaw, Mich., since 1 km. He married his Ilrst wife In Eng land In 1843, and they had 11 children, live of whom are still living He was connected with the Chartist movement from 1832 till 1848 and suffered for his opinions. He left England in 1851 and landed at New York almost penniless. He«obtatn ed employment on Luke Erie, and in 1853 ills family Join'-d him when he was working for a lumber firm In Cleve land. Three weeks later a fire burned out ihe works, and he lost everything, ami In 1856 he went to Saginaw. His first wife died in 1370. their silver wed ding having occurred in 1868. In 1872 he married his second wife, a widow, with two children, with whom he has lived for over a quarter of a century, their silver wedding occurring In 1897.

She 1* very fond of photographing animals, und at the annual sale of the Prince of Wales' horses at Wolferton she may be seen on the sale grounds taking snap shots of the animals as they piyis in re view. She Is also very fond of taking views that strike her, and on one occasion a photograph which she made of a rail way bridge probably prevented a seri ous disaster. She was elose to Wolfer ton station when she noticed a freight train crossing the bridge and photo graphed It. When the negative was de veloped, she observed that the bridge had a curve, and naturally thinking that she had not held her kodak in proper position she tried tho bridge agala a few days later when an express train was passing over it. This negative also showed the same curve, and the prin cess. not being able to understand th* reason, spoke about it to the Pnnce ot Wales. He at qnce divined that something was wrong, and inquiries were set on foot which resulted in the discovery that the old bridge was In a dangerous condition and must Immediately be re built. -a
