WHERE THE Sun DOES NOT SET.
a scene witnessed by some
travellers in the north Of Norway,
from q cliff 1000 feet above the
sea, is thus described:
The ocean stretched away in ST.
lent vastness at our feet; the sound
or waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout: : away in the north the
huge old sun swung low along the
horizon. like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock OF our
grandfather's parlor corner. We
all stood silent looking at our
watches. When both hands came
together at twelve, midnight, the
full round orb hung triumphantly
above the waves, bridge Of gold
running due north spanning the
water between US and him. There
he shone in silent majesty which
knew not setting. We involun-
tarily took off our hats no words
was said. Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sun
set you ever saw, and the beau
ties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up ocean,
Heaven and mountains. In half
an hour the sun had swung up
pcrccptibly on his beat, the colors
changing to those Of morning, a
fresh breeze rippled over the floor,
one songster after another piped
up in the grove behind us.-we had
slid into another day.

4 STRANGE CAREER.
DEATH Or 4 NOTED WOMAN-THE
WIFE OF NINE HUSBANDS.

One Of the strangest careers OF
modern times has just terminated
. in the death Of Lady Eilenborough,
at Damascus. Forty years ago
she was one Of the most noted
women in Europe, and her resi-
dence i'll the East has long been &
sort Of scandaIous romance.
The daughter of the late Admi.
raj Sir Henry Digby, beautiful,
witty and rich, she married in
1924 the Earl OF Peterborough. who
WAS attcrward Governor General
Of India, and who at that time
was one Of the most brilliant men
Of the day. She was about seven
teen years age at the time of
her marriage, and Peterborough:
who was widower, was thirty
four. They lived together some
six years, and her dissolute con-
duct was a cause Of scandal for
some time previous to the catas-
trophc OF her elopemcnt with
Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, !
celebrated roue, then Austrian
Minister in London. The event
caused On immense sensation in the
world Of aristocracy and fashion.
Peterborough procured divorce
from Parliament and never mar
ricd again ; but his runaway wife
soon separated from Schwarzcn-
berg, and in 1892 married Baron
Ecnnidgeu, a Bavarian. Tiring
Of him presently: and with her
great wealth and personal fascina-
tions having little difficulty in pro-
curing divorces under the easy
laws Of Germany, she was mar
ricd in succession to five other
individuals; but as none Of these
unions met her expectations, they
were all dissolved after q short du.
ration. In 1913 she was living in
Athens with her eighth husband. a
Greek colonel. Count Theodoki; but
without waiting to become a widow
she had this marriage also dissolv-
ed, and set out for the Levant.
During journey from Beyrout to
Damascus she found a new affinity
in the person Of an Arab camel
driver, known as Sheikh Abdul,
whom she married after the Arab

titudinous leaders. McMichacl, Of
the North American, writes ner-
vously: in straight lines, frequent

pr;des himself upon his cool and
dainty chirography. Rufus Choate
was a dreadful aflliction to the
printers when they got hold of his
legal papers, and the man who

George ". Barton, Of Pennsyl-
vania, was almost as prolific in his
oratory as in his handwriting, and
il was far easier to enjoy his mag

ENGLISH GIRLs--As rule,
women in English society are re-
marSabiy natura!-ncgativcIy na-
tural, / mean. English girls are
particularly simple and unaSsum-
ing. They are innocent Of all cf-
fort 10 impress or astonish. As all
womankind does and should do
they make themselves as pretty as
they can; but as to personal
superloritics, their educators do
not lay enough stress upon such
things to make them ambitious
to excel in that way. All young
ladies are taught Il certain mode
Of department, which is excellent
so far as it goes. The chief pre-
ccpt Of the code, whether incu!ca-
ted openly orby the silent feeling Of
society. is that each young lady
must do as the rest. That "young
English girl" who is the theme Of
the novelist and the magazine bards
and artists, easily merits all the
adula:ion she receives. Does not
all the world know, is it not al.
most an impertinence to say, that
for dignity, modesty: propriety,
sense. and certain soft, seIf:posses-
sion: she has hardly her equal any
where ? But the British maiden is
