ANECDOTES OF BIsMARCK.-A couple
of anecdotes of Count Bismarck may
be acceptable as afFording some insight
into the character of the man who has
persuaded the King of Prussia to do
what he recoiled from few years ago,
viz, from plundering his little friends
and relatives. In 1910, the paper which
does duty as Punch at Berlin, having
wounded the Bismarck susceptibilities,
the editor at once received a challenge,
and there would have been duel had
not friends arranged matters otherwise.
When Bismarck became President of
Council, the offending editor, who was
a man of wit, was to be seen frequently
at his table, the minister making it a
practice to lay aside all political hostil
ity in private life Not many months
ago, considering himself personally in-
suited by the language of the savant
Virchow, he left the chamber and call
ed that deputy out The savant, how
ever, refl sed to fight, on the ground
that it was his duty to attack Bismarck
in the chamber, but not in the field =
Count Bismarck has, of course, a host
of decorations, which he seldom wears,
but when he does ornament his treast
with crosses and ribbons, he never for
gets Humane Society medal which he
received, when twenty-three years of
age, for having saved man from being
drowned, at the risk of his own life.

SUGAR AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET.

SUGAR AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET. =
Dutrone calls sugar the most perfect
''alimentary substance in nature
DIR Rush says sugar affords the great
est quantity of nourishment in a given
quantity of matter CT any subject in
nature.
Sir John Pringle tells us that the
plague has never been known to visit
any country where sugar composes a
material part of the diet of the inhabit
ants.
Dr. Cullen is of the opinion that the
frequency of malignant fevers of all
kinds has been lessened by the use of
sugar.
The celebrated Tronchoni recommen-
ded eau sucre, (sweetened water) for al
most every malady.
Dr. Fothergill was very anxious that
the price of sugar should be SO far re-
duced as to make it accessible to the
common people.
DR.. Franklin had taken large guam
titles of blackberry jam for relief from
pain of the stone but discovered at
length that the sanitary property resid-
ed wholly in the sugar.
Sugar has been fonnd to be an anti
dote for the poison of verdigris, if taken
speedily and in abundance.
1t has been said that sugar Injuries
the teeth, but this opinion does not de-
serve a serious reflection.

OvERwoRK.-The majority of the fa-

now discovered. Give human being
overwork and deficient food and he is
the victim of diarrhGa and dysentary
Give him overwork and bad air aud bad
food, and he is the victim of typhus.
Give him overwork and bad air, and he
is the victim Of consum, tion Give him
over mental work, with whatever air
and whatever food, and he is the victim
of brain disease, and of ore or the other
of its sequences-insanity, paralysis,
diabetes, premature death in any ease
death by suicide not unfrequently.-
Give him overwork purely physical,
with air, with food-and the laboriDg
heart, trying to keep up against its
weariness, succumbs; and so the over

A BIT OF ROYAL GOSSIP

A London correspondent of the Com.
mercial Bulletin gives the following
gossip about the Princess Mary of Cam
bridge. This great parsonage, it is said
weighs two hundred and thirty pounds,
but that must be slander.
Aud while l am talking about these
royal folk l may tell you about some
of the latest gossip about them. which
is freely talked of on the street, and in
the clubs, and occasionally just limited
at in the papers. Your readers are
probably aware that there is, belonging
to the royal family, lady whois known
to the world as the princess Mary of
Cambridge She is an own cousin of
the queens and is sister of the Duke
of Cambridge, the commander-in-chief
of the British forces. She is a very
comely lady, though, great defect,
she is outrageously fat. Her age some
where near thirty three. For long
time this Princess Mary, of Cambridge,
has been anxious to get married. but
she has never until recently been able
to effect that object. At one time Vic
tor Emanuel, at another the Duke of
Rutland, at another the Duke OF New
castle has been thought of, but the Ru
Gdldntuomo thought her too bulky for
his purpose, and the Queen refused to
consent to the marriage with English
or yrck h., h.,
however, one of those petty German
Princes who find such favor here among
the royal foil, turns up, and in default
of anything better, makes love to the
Princess Mary, which coy maiden re-
ceived his advances with gratifying
complacence.
l should say that previous to this ap-
pearance on the scene of Prince Teck,
(this is the fair Mary's conquest). the
Queens third daughter, the pretty Hell.
ena, had become affianced to Prince
Christian of Schleswig Holstein, anoth-
er German pigmy prince. When mat
ters between fair Mary and her Teck
came to head, the ma. riage was pro-
posed to the queen. The Queen SEEM
ed disinclined to consent. Her prin-
cipai objection, it seems, was moral
one; Prince Teck, she said, already had
wife and four children living in Ger
many, true it had been left handed,
a morganatic marriage, still would not
Princess Mary be in dubious position?
Upon this objection being raised by
Her Gracious Majesty, Princess Mary
is struck with an IDEA She forthwith
sets inquiries on foot in regard to Prince
Christian, who is to marry Victoria's
daughter Helena, and to her delight
finds that he too is morganatically mar
ried and has morganatic children. Arm
ed with this she goes to the Queen and
declares that if her intended is to be
objected to on such account, the mar
riage of the Princess Helena ought also
to be prohibited for the same reason.
The prospect of losing son in-law,
when they are so scarce and she has so
mauy daughter to provide for, fairly
frightened the Queen her moral OBJ
lection to the marriage of the Princess
Mary with Teck gave way under such
pressure, and the fae and red-cheeked
bride was week since led to the al
tar of the church at Kew by the happy
Teck, not only with the consent, but in
the presence of her Gracious Majesty
herself.

A HINT To RAILROAD LOVERS

A HINT TO RAILROAD LOVERS =
We we're eye witnesses to an affection
ate scene y, yesterday. One of the indis
pensibles for a good railroad is good
company, and that we had. Even then
however, time drays, unless the compa-
ny has some object for amusement, and
that we had. Ahead of our crowd was
a loving couple, taking evidently their
first trip after marriage or their last be-
.ore-there was no visible means of de-
termining which. They clung to each
other as though determined that only
death should part them, and were evil
IDENTIFY inclined to depart as far from the
perpendicular as the back of the seat
and the side Of the car would allow. A
little boy was induced by the offer of an
apple. to convey to the lap of the am
orous swain note, written by some
scamp: Hadn't you better take

could not have separated them quicker.
Thence onward the car contained no
more perpendicular couple than they,

THE sUNDEw.

A little marsh-plant, yellow green,
And pncked at lip with tender red,
Tread close. and either way you tread
Some faint black water jets between
Lest you should bruise the curious head
A live thing may be; who shall know.
1he Summer knows and suffers it:
For the cool moss is thick and sweet
Each side. and saves the blossoms so
That it lives out the long June heat.
The deep scent of the heather burns
About it; breathless though It be,
Bow down and worship; more than we
Is the least flower whose life returns,
Least weed renascent in the sea.
We are vexed and numbered in earth's
sight
With wants. with many memories;
These see their mother what she is,
Glad-growing. till August leaves more
bright
The apple colored cranberries.
Wind blows and bleaches the strong grass,
Blown all one way to shelter it
From trample of strayed kline. with feet
Felt heavier than the moorhen was,
Strayed up past patches of wild wheat.
You call it sundew how it grows;
If with its color it have breath,
If life tastes sweet to it, if death
Pains its soft petal, no man knows;
Man hath no sight or sense that saith.
My sundew, grown of gentle days.
In these green miles the spring begun
Thy growth ere April had half done
With the soft secret of her ways.
Or June made ready for the sun.
o red-lipped mouth of marsh-hower,
have a secret halved with thee.
The name that is loves name to me
Thou knowest. and the face of her
Who is my festival to see.
The hard sun, as thy petals knew,
Colored the heavy moss water;
thou vert not worth green midsummer
Nor fit to live to August blue,
y sundew, not embering her.
