A PedestrIenne In EerIl.

Frau WilhelminA Won Hillern, wifc Of the
Chamberlain Of tho Grand Duke Of Baden, II
greatly exercised In mind regarding certain
young lady who is tramping about this coun-
try named Bertha Won Hillern, and who has
gained considerable distinction as a pedestrian
athlete. The female Won Hillern In Germany
is exceeding wroth on account Of the distins-
ton achieved by the Won Hllcrn in America,
and declares that 1t is II disgrace to the high
and mighty family name. Her illustrious
spouse, the Chamberlain, is not aware that hs
has . relative In the United States, and he dc,
mands that the matter be investigated, -
that II the little frauline Is assuming name
that is not rightfully hers she may be exposed
and the precious
HONOR OF THE Won HILLERSs
rescued from this stigma. We fail to So
clearly just how the Chamberlain and hia
naughty Frau Wilhelmina are to carry on this
inguisition. or what good ii would do them II
they could. Nobody in this country cares .
cent whether Miss Bertha Won Hillern Is .
genuine Won Hillern or not but everybody
will admit that she shows n deal more sense
than the couple aforesaid. II these distin-
guished people do not like to have namesaks
who can walk hundred miles in half a.
many hours they better settle the matter by
changing their names, or by sending over
General Boum with the grand army Of Baden
Baden to exterminate Bertha and reduce the
United states to proper appreciation Of tho
sacred name Of Won Ilillern. Otherwise ws
do not 500 but they will have to grin and

She will find on reflection, that her good on

OF good Is confeSsedly duty, and to

Men may he more ready to marry pretty girls

cold water are the only cosmetics they care
for, though just As they do not always know

Rosewood.

ithas puzzled many people to decide why
the dark wood 80 highly valued for furni-
tnre should be called rosewood Its color
certainly does not look much like a rose 80
We must look for some other reason. Upon
asking. we are told that when the tree Is first
cut, the fresh wood possesses n very strong,
rose-like fragrance hence the name. There
are half u dozen or more kinds Of rosewood
trees. The varieties are found in South
America, md in the East Indies and neigh
boring islands. Sometimes the trees grow
so large that planks four feet broad and ten
feet in length can be cut from them. These
broad planks are principally used to make
the tops of piano-fortos. When growing in
the forest, the rosewood troo is remarkable
for its beauty but such is its value in man
u~factures as an ornamental wood that some
of the forests where it once grew abundant
ly now nave scarcely a single specimen. In
Madras the government has prudently Ind
great plantations of this tree set out, in or
f der to keep up the supply.
