very difficult to prove the truth Of his

The De Lesseps Romance.

marriage is curious. The lady who is
his wife was nearly twelve years at the
chateau of which she Is now chatelaine,
staying on a visit. Her family name
was de Braga. She was of French ori-
gin, but English nationality, her father
having filed q post under the British
government in the Mauritius. Mile. de
Braga was the perfection of the French
Creole type, and very romantic. She
had been in the habit of listening to the
accounts of the diplomatic and material
difficulties which M. de Lesseps over
came in Egypt, Paris, and London, and of
the courage and humanity he dis
played in assisting plague-stricken
Frenchmen when he was consul at Alex
andra. The relations she heard impress
sed her as the narrative of Othello's adj
ventures impressed Desdemona. Mile.
de Braga saw in NJ. de Lesseps hero of
modern times. His courtliness, chiyal-
rous manners and vivaeity enchanted a
girl used to the indolent planters of the
Isle of France. She was at La Che snaye
when all Europe was astir about the
achievement Of the SueZ enterprise.
kilograms were arriving from the great
ones of the earth, accepting invitation
to the inaugural ceremony. The French
sovereign was on board French war
ship to lead a fleet, composed of vessels
of all nations, with heir-apparent and
heads of governments on board. Fes-
tivity reigned at Chesnaye. Mile Braga
grew silent and solitary. One day, in
the garden, she saw de Lesseps walking
on terrace She plucked rose and
going up to him, begged of him for her
sake to wear it at dinner. He asked
| whether she did not mean it for his

49, That did not matter. What his age
was never occurred to her. She had on
ly thought of hisgreatness and goodness.
In short, he was her beau ideal. How
was it possible for a man reared on the
sunny side of Pyreneean mountain
to reason down the feelings this confes
fession aroused? Time was given to
Mile. de Braga to reflect, aud she was
made to understand that no frienshiT
would be lost were she to change hel

"Pearls or Thought"

A German author has made collec-
ton of mixed metaphors, which he calls
pearls of thought. Some of them are
worth quoting, if only as warning to
high-fown orators not to allow their
magniloquence to fly away with them
altogether. 1--WE WILL" cried an inspired
Democrat, "burn all our ships, and with
every sail unfurled, steer boldly out into
the ocean of freedom Even that flight
is surpassed by an effort of Justice Min
lister Hye, who, in 1913, in u speech to
the Vienna students, impressively de-
clared: "The chariot of the Revolution
is rolling along and gnashing its teeth as
it rolls" A pan-Germanist Mayor of a
Rhineland corporation rose still higher
in an address to the Emperor. He said:
"No Austria, no Prussia, one only Ger
many, such were the words the mouth of
your Imperial Majesty has always had in
its eye." We have heard of the mouth
having an eye tooth, but never before of
the mouths eye.
But there are even literary men who
cannot open their mouths "withont put.
ting their foot in it. Professor johann
nes Scherr is an example of SUCH In q
criticism on Lenau's lyrics he writes:
.Out of the dark regions of philosophi-
cal problems the poet suddenly lets
swarms of songs dive up carrying far
flashing pearls of thought in their
beaks. Songs and beaks are certainly
related to one another, but were never
seen in that incongruous connection be-
fore. A German preacher, speaking of a
repentant girl, said: "She knelt in the
temple of her interior and prayed fer
| yently," feat no India-rubber doll
could initiate. The German parliament
ary oratory of the present day affords
many examples of metaphor mixture; but
| two must suffice. Count Frankenberg
| is the author of them. :. few
years ago he pointed out to his country
men the necessity of "seizing the stream
of Time by the forelock;" and in the last
session he told the Minister of War that
if he really thought the French were se-
riously attached TO peace, he had better
resign Office and return to his maternal
| oxen" The Count had no doubt the po-
| cts pdteYaa TiHd in his mind at the
time. But none of these pearls OF
thought and expression in Fatherland
surpass the speech of the immortal
Joseph Prudhomme on being presented
/ with sword of honor by the company
he commanded In the National Guard OF
France. Gentlemen" said he, this
sword is the brightest day of my life2'
There appears to be one town where
absolute prohibition of liquor selling has
succeeded. 1t is Carrollton, Ga, where
prohibition went into force five years
ago. Since then the annual trade OF the
place has increased from $2eo.0O0 tc
$500, 900, and it is said that there Is not
one merchant of the thirty In that town
who would not vote against the liquol
| traffic ON purely business principles.
