whom he had seen upon the night
of the storm. Her brilliant eyes
were gazing into his with an in
tensity which was almost painful.
Her waving locks were floating
against her cheek. Her voice,
clear and low, particularly low,
was chanting in his ear a wild
rhythmic song. The words Of the
chant were unintelligible to him,
but the music described a delicious
gliding motion amid cool grasses
in the dark, grateful shade Of a
jungle, where the sunlight never
penetrated, where the graceful
forms of the leopard and the great
tiger moved noiseiessly, and THO
harsh voices of the birds and the
discordant cries of the monkeys
were silenced. 1t was motion
in which was expressed all his

lay thus, listening to that strange
song, not moving Of wishing to

THE LOSER OF ID
The Austrian General Who for so Many
Years Represented she Army Died
on she 21Lfl inst.

Louis Won Benedek vas born in 1904 at
Odenburg in Hungary. After undergoing
the usual course Of training at the military
academy, he entered the Austrian arm as
cornet in 1922, and attained the rank Of col
onel in 1916. Two years later he exhibited
his great military talents during the insur-
rection in Galicia, which he succeeded in
completely quelling in the west, thereby en-
abling Gen. Cullim to carry Podgorze by as
sault. Ordered. in 1947 at the head of the
regiment Giulay to join the army in Italy, he
took part in the memorable campaign Of 194S
under Radetsky, distinguishing himself il the
retreat from Milan, OF Osone, and especially
at the battle of Curtatone, for which he re-
ceived the order Of Maria Theresa. In 1S49
he contributed to the reduction of Mortara
and The victory Of Novara. After this he
was transferred to Hungary and was wound
ed at Raab and ~Szegeden. Ten years later,
in the war of Italian independence, Gen. Ben
edek was one OF the few Austrian generals
who exhibited any great military capacity,
and distinguished himself at Solferino, his
division being the last the last to leave the
field. He was governor of Hungary for q
few months in 1860, and in the critical state
ofaffairs in Its ", was soon after appointed
to the chief command of the Austrian army
in that country. Summoned by the emperor
to command the Austrian army in the war
with Prussia, Benedek sustained a defeat at
Sadowa, July 3, 1866, and was soon after su-
perseded by the Archduke Albert. In No
vember, 1871, it was announced that Mar
shall Benedek was dead, but the rumor was
not confirmed. ".-" "@ Fl """=~# m"

sEas
EHe German Chancellor.

IN a plain old country house, nesting IN q
leafy hook Of the Wendish Marches. was
born, III years ago this day, Otto Leopold
Won Observation-Disclosures, the youngest
son ct q provincial PrussiaR gentleman Of
ancient lineage but slender means, who had
9 rev years previously, given onTense to his
olue-olooded relations by wedding a beauti-
1al and gifted young lady to whose family
name the p~atrician predicate of ssvon' was
altogether lacking. These two eminently re-
spectacle, and obscure persons were the au-
tnors or the German Chancellor's being, and
presented 10 their native country on the 1st
o. April. 1910, the most remarkable spoisson
q AYfal ever yets fraught with startling sur
pflses 20 mankind. Little did the worthy
Landrath and his spouse, while rejoicing in
the vigorous man-child born to them that
day-just q fortnight before the battle OF
Waterloo was fought-dream that in the hid
den future that babe would be created Prince
Of an empire founded by his own SURPRISING
talent, and energies; that all the most illust-
rous orders Of Christian and pagan chivalrY,
with the solitary exception Of TIE Garter.
would sparkle N his broad breast. that he
prove an oVerthroWer and builder up
Ct imperial thrones, universally recognized
as the first Of European statesmen and the
greatest German of the nineteenth century.
This particular anniversary Of the iIlustrious
Chancell0r's natal day is the more note
worthy, since it puts an end to anxietiea.

Wedding Fashions.

| have never met, and never expect to
meet, says London Truth, the woman who
| can hear of q wedding quite unmoved. It is
a rite that interests the whole sex, young and
old, pretty and plain, rich and poor, gentle
and simple. No matter how many weddings
they may have seen, they never tire of them,
but will go to one after the other with un-
haging interest and attention, as absorbed
during the ceremony rs though it were AN
utter novelty. The bride is, of course, the
centre Of attraction. Even those who knew
her quite intimately stare at her as though
they had never seen her before, devouring
every detail of her dress with eager glances.
AS q rule, the bride who feels least looks
best. Emotion of the intense kind has often
q becoming effect, and in this age of ''nerves'
agitation is apt TO produce pallor, q tendency
to tears, or an unbecoming flush. Tears sell
dom beautify. Poets and painters glo1ify
beauty in tears, but that is theory. In prau-
tice, their first effect is to redden the eyes:
their second to incarnadine the nose; their
third to develop a tendency toward shifts.
Some years ago all brides wept. It was the
-orrect thing. We had not quite emerged
from the sentimental era. Mrs. Heman's
poetry was much read, and we all know how
her brides DehaVed, weeping on their fathers
shoulders and their mothers bosom, and re-
citing regretful parting verses, so that one
wondered that the bridegroom was not Of
tended by SO much grief, aud did not Jump
into the "chariot" and leave her there. We
are more practical nowadays. The bride al
ways smiles when she leaves the vestry, and
occasionally is seen to do SO as she comes up
the church. This last may be coming in,'
but is rather q venturesome thing to do Just
yet. She ought, strictly speaking, to hang
her head down a little bit, not SO rnuch as
brides did twenty years ago, but still percep-
tibly. There is no earthly reason why brides
as q rule, should hang their heads, but fash
ion DEGREES that they shall. They are going
to marry the man Of their choice. They are
probably leaning on the arm Of a father of
whom they are proud, Why should they
hang their heads? Perhaps fashion provides
the custom in order to meet the case of the
brides who really ought to hang their heads
those who are selling themselves for a title,
for an establishment, for landed estates
even for q home. However this may be, ten
years hence the dropping head will have

WINTER STORMS AND DAMAGE.
the meagre account we obtain Of the storms
in Western Oregon, we infer that they
must have produced much damage to prop

much more was threatened by further rise
in the Willamette and tributaries. The
Willamette valley is long and comparatively
narrow, and receives the water from rain falls
and melting SHOWS, flowing from the Cas-
cade mountains on the east and the coast
range on the west, all concentrating into
the Willamette river, which has many low
