CarIotta. Isabella and Eugenie {,

From the Chicago Times.l i,.....
What strange, sad picture the three
present to-dayl Carlotta, once imperial
and world-famous on the the throne OF
Maximilian--now .bereft of her beauty
and her mind, and incurable. Isabella,
the abdicated Queen of Spain, driven
from her throne and exiled to anything
but happy life. Eugene, Regent Of
France, brilliant and beautiful, from her
imperial throne in Paris compelled to
see her power not only threatened, but
seemingly gradually fading away. This
is the situation of the three queens who
ten years ago were the three representa-
tive women of the world. Who would
envy them their present position2 Who
would be the homeless faded, powerless,
suffering Carlotta-only the wreck of
former beauty? Or who would have the
tongue of scandal whisper over the world
its wretched gossip, as it does of Isa-
bella? Or who would care to take Eu-
genie's present responsibility, watched
by the whole world, and not unlikely to
lose heF position at any moment2
Sometimes, when ones thoughts lead

have been cast in grander places, he may
profitably look around and see the for
tunes of those who sit upon imperial
thrones. Victoria is undisturbed, but
she is a glorious exception. The three
we have named, all of whom are more
at home in France than elsewhere, have
borne with every kind of anxiety and
suffering. The humblest cottage girl and
most obscure sewing woman in all the
land are moro to be ehyied than are
,.hAse three queens. Does any one sup

Sleeping Together.

The Ld,os of Life says: "More quar-
rels arise between brothers, between
sisters, between hired girls, between
school girls, between clerks in stores,
between apprentices, between hired
men, between husbands and wives, ow-
ing to electrical changes through which
their nervous system go by lodging to-
gether at night under the same bed
clothes, than by any other disturbing
cause. There is nothing that will so
derange the nervous system of q per-
son who is iliminative in nervous force
as to lie all night in bed with another
person who is absorbent in nervous
force. The absorber will go to sleep
and rest all night, while the eIiminator
will be tumbling and tossing, restless
and nervous, wake up i'm the morning
fretful, peevish, .fault-finding and dis
couraged. No two persons, no matter
who they are, should habitually sleep
together. One will thrive and the 9TH
er will loose. This is the law; and In
married life it is defied almost univer-
sally" .lH-f fasjs

New York Ministers and Fast Horses.

A correspondent, himself o minister,
has been observing life" from the pi-
azza of Harry Bertholf, on the Harlem
Road, and thus relates what he saw:
Gentlemen who do not care to ride
fast, or do not care to be beaten, drive
here with their wives and families, and
from Harry's pleasant parlor look out
upon the exciting scene. His piazzas
and balconies are full of the most dis
tinguished men in New York. Harry
was for many years the crier of the
courts. A partisan Judge displaced
him. He obtained this position, and is
immensely popular, not only with
horsemen, but with judges, lawyers and
princely merchants. His bar-room in
the afternoon is packed. The horse
men drink principally hot lemonade.
1t is a curious place, for everybody Is
discussed who goes tramping by.
Hullo! that's a fine, nervous
team v' .."''if 'ht'.'-.' -
"Yes; that's Weston, Of st. Johns
chapel. He loves good horse. was
out with him when be was chaplain of
the Seventh Regiment" a -.
' And DR.. Weston goes dashing by in
his slouched hat and driving gloves,
with a brother minister, an ultra high
churcbman, at his side. 1-
b "Don't you know who that is?
That's Hall, of the Fifth Avenue
church. Well, he can afford it. Six
thousand in gold, house rent and per-
quisites thrown in"
And DIR. Hall, with a pair of spank
ing horses, tall, large-formed man,
with jockey cap on his head and in a
spider wagon, rolls out of sight toward
Harlem river. Twenty years ago a
Presbyterian minister in New York
could not have kept span of fast
horses and his pulpit besides. The
world moves. There comes Corey, with
Mountain Maid and Kentucky Mare.
He breaches in q little church on Muir
ray Hill, but it Is one of the most elegant
chapels in New York. He is an eager
driver and loves the road.
Vanderbilt will die soon from an
affection of the heart !"
"Why SOP"
Didn't you know he gave Corey the
Mountain Maid :? She is worth S1O,.
OOO."
-y Behind is a gentleman in earnest con-
versation with Harry. "Someth:ng to
drink?" - -tta ~ ~
eyes, but the fact is, my minister is
with me-" TI
"Well, invite him to take some
thing"
"Bless me-! 1 wouldn't do that for
the world" 80 81 i-..
"Let me see him." Harry says
Point him out to me. That him with
a can on? Pshaw! Ive seen him be-
FORE" Harry goes up to the divine,
and to the question, "Will you join
Mr.. R in something to drink ?'' the
answer is, Certainly 1 will" and the
parties reach the bar, glasses jingle, and
the pulpit and the pew understand
each other better.
I" 1t was a long time, before 1 could
get my minister to take ride with me
on the road" said party on my left.
He consented one day, and 1 drove
only fair pace to his great terror
Grasping the seat convulsively he kept
crying out: Don't! Please don't! Do
hold up! Don't drive 30 fastp After
the second round he sat up erect. On
the third he intimated that horse was
gaining on me. Before the drive
closed he became SO excited that he
shouted Take care! He'll go by ycunp
And so the conversation continued
till the teams were brought round and
the parties were on the road again.

Giants or Olden Times.

In one of his recent lecture, Professor
Silliman, the younger, alluded to the
discovery of the skeleton of an enor-
nous lizard of eighty feet. From this
the professor inferred as no living spe-
cimen of such magnitude has been
found, that the species which it repre-
sents has degenerated. The verify of
his position he rather singularly en-
deavored to inforce by an allusion to
the well-known existence of giants I'm
olden times. The following list Is the
data on which this singular hypothesis
is based: ~..
The giant exhibited at Rouen i'm 1880
the Professor says, measured nearly
eighteen feet.
Corapius saw a girl that measured
ten feet. .Y
The giant Calabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome, under Glaudius Cesar,
was ten feet high.
! Farnum, who lived i'm the time of
Eugene III, measured eleven and a half
feet.
The Chevalier Scrog, in his voyage
to the Peak Teneriffe, found in one Of
the eaverns of that mountain, the head
of the Gunich, who had sixty teeth
and who was not less than fif.een feet.
The giant Frragus, slain by Orlando,
nephew of Charlemagne, was % feet
high.
In 1914, near st. German, was found
the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was
not less than thirty feet high. 4
In 1880, near Rouen, was found q
skeleton whose skull held bushel Of
corn, and who was Nineteen feet high.
The giant Baeart was twenty-five
feet high; his thigh bones were found,
in 1703, near the river Moderi.
In 1923, near the castle in Daupbine,
tomb was found thirty feet long, six
teen wide and eight high, ON which
was cut in grey stone these words,
" Keutolochus Rex" The skeleton
was found entire, twenty-five and
fourth feet long, ten feet across the
shoulders, and five feet from the breast
bone to the back.
