| Before it could be known how he regarded
these proposals he was attacked by the
| plague aud diod October IL, l424. The
warrior feroeness of his soul appears in his
dying directions to have his skin made into
drum, tho sound of which should remind
bis enemies Of his. terrible prowess. But
these directions were not followed. His
body was inferred with honors in the oathe.

site forces. Generals and officers trained
under Hisoa continued to lead them to
victory. Again and again they routed the
great armies which Romish bigotry had
gathered against them, and enriched them
solves with the spoils Of panic struck aud
flying foes. They pushed their conqucsts
into surrounding: countries aud carried
everything before them. Churches, mo-
nasteries, and towns, were reduced to ashes,
and over tho smoking ruins. the oonquerers
shouted, "Behold tho funeral obsequies OF
John Huss!" All Germany was alarmed,
aud, as armed resistance was of no avail,
the invaders wero in several Instances
bought of by large sums of money. The
final overthrow of the Hussites was the
result of their own divisions which led to
open war. Exhausted by bloody conflicts
among themselves, they became an easy
prey to their onemies, thus fulfilling the
prophecy Of Sigismund, "The Bohcmians
will only be conquered by themselves"
The late DR.. Gillett, in his ''Life and
Times of John Huss," thus sums up the
character of Zisoa: "Blind though no was,

The whole region was spread out before

DIsmarCL's Domestic Life.

Women seem 10 have exercised singularly
little influence over Bismarck. There is an
old story of his having once been in love be-
fore he married but the story is so vague
that We may well doubt its resting on any SOL
id foundation. Ii is more than likely that he
did not entirely escape that sweet disease of
youth called 'love-feyer," but he had it prob
ably in n mild form. and it soon passed away.
At all events it left no traces. The fact is that
he married at the age of thirty-two and that
since that day nobOdy-not even his worst
enemy-has attempted to throw the slightest
suspicion on his character as a husband and a
father. His domestic life has been thorough
ly pure, and it is well known by all who sur
round him that he shows unAinching severity
toward all breakers of the seventh command
meut He has had affectionate and respected
female frienis-among whom the Grand
Duchess Helene, of Russia. must be reckoned
but the only women who, to all appearan-
ces, have found room in his heart and occu-
pied it are his mother, his sister, his wife and
his daughter.
The wife of Prince Bismarck, johanna Won
Putkammer, of an old and noble Pomeranian
family, was born in 1924. He made her ac-
quaintance at the marriage of one of his
friends, where she acted as bridemaid and
two years later-in 1s47-he asked her to be-
come his wife. Her family was not at first
disposed to accept his proposals. At that time
Herr Won Bismarck enjoyed rather curious
reputation. He was surnamed 'der tOlle Bis
mdrck" (mad Bsmarck), and had earned his
title by his numerous duels, his daring feats
of horsemanship and some widely spread an
ecdotes concerning his attitude generally
toward professors, burgomasters and other
respectable members of what German stu
dents call ':Phillistine society" But more cs-
pecially he owed his surname to the very
noisy revels he used to hold with a number of
exceedingly loud young men at Kniephof and
Schoenhausen. To quiet, respectable, religi-
ous people like the Putkammers he did not
appear a very eligible suitor for an only and
beloved child. Bismarck, however settled
the question at once He walked up to Miss
Johanna. and having ascertained by look
that she sided with him, he folded her in his
arms and said to her astonished relatives,
what God has united, 10 man shall put
| asuuder" Princess Bismarck has preserved
all the simplicity of her youth. She is per
feet specimen, in the best sense of the word,
of the German haustFdU 'She is very quiet,
bears her honors as the most natural thing in
the world, holds fast by the old friends OF
humber days, and has but one great object
| in life,-to make her husband and children
happy. "She it is, he once said to friend,
who has made me what am. II BIqckroOd'

An OId F'dSiiOH.-Before the days OF num-
bering the houses in the cities, people had to
resort to various devices to tell where they
lived. Some painted the houses an cdd col
or, others decorated the doors with some
thing new and striking still others colored
the doOr-posts, or the balconies. Signs for
shops were more absurd still. l have read of
a grocery with the sign of a grasshopper.
4 RQyalS UmJseHd- In Abyssina an UNI
brella is sign of royalty and no one else is
allowed to use one. 1t is made of crimson
silk and carried 10y a servant. Even in Con-

the Sultan's palace. Orientals are said never
to use the umbrella, but 10 wrap their heads
in shawls.
MjlAaer.--Do you know how person who
makes bonnets and such articles of dress
came to be called by the name Milliner? 1t
was originally "Milaner," meaning Il resident
of Milan in Italy, and it arose from the fact
that at one time the fashions all came from
Italy.

tures that we are accustomed TO think stupid

are long, by the way-and swings its body
around so fast that it can hardly be seen.
