A RiNe DOVE RoMANCE.-About three
weeks ago one of my male ring doves
suddenly disappeared one evening, leaving
his mate alone with the burden of two
eggs laid only few days before. The
mode of his disappearance was altogether
mysterious and has not yet been cleared
up. AS he did not appear next morning
concluded that he had been seized by
some of the neighboring cats which prowl
about the house in the evening. Eleven
DAYS passed and no sign of HIM. Mean
while the female remained faithful to her
charge, leaving her eggs only few mo.
ments twice day. At first she called for
her mate when the hour came at which
she ought TO be relieved; but in few
days, comprehending, as seemed that she
was a widow, she became silenta brood
ed alone over her eggs. To my surprise,
however, on the morning Of the 18th day,
a soldier of the Alpini brought me the
missing male. saying that he had been
found by another soldier in the woods

ragged, and be seemed as if he must have
been inlcaptivity somewhere, but he recog.
nized me at once and came to me without
trouble. carried him TO the nest where
his mate was sitting and placed him be =
side her, wishing 10 see what he would
do To my disappointment he did not
seem 10 recognize her, and jumped out
again, placing himself upon a rod in front
OF it, ought 10 say that the nest, being
in Il hole in wall, is somewhat dark,
and that ring doves do not see without a
good deal of light. In a minute or two
the female came out Oft nest and placed
herself beside him. There they recognized
each other in an instant, and such a recog-
milton never saw! The two kissed each
other hundred times with cries Of the
widest delight. they Auttered round each
other and at last in their own way, EN-.
bruced each other. The male then entered
the nest, looked at the eggs, called the
mother 10 come and sit on them, went in
quest Of twigs 10 make the nest more com

and took bis turn on the eggs. The female

Miss parnell has again been making
herself conspicuous. She may mean well,
but has certainly an odd way of showing
her good intentions. The lord lieutenant
was on Thursday riding from the Vice
regal lodge to the castle when an excited
female rushed into the rold aud seized his
bride rein. The excited laly was as it
afterwards appeared no other than Miss
Parnell, but Lord Spencer did no. know
her, and told her if she would 60 to the
castle he would hear what she had 10 say,
but it was not likely that his lordship
would discuss any subject with the lady in
the streets Of Dublin. She did not adopt
this rational suggestion, but sent some.
what rude communication to an evening
paper. There was justice in the appeal
Miss ParneH made respecting the terrible
misery Of the tenants who had been evict-
ed but why did not the lady accept the
proposal OF Lord Spencer, and have a
friendly chat with him about the matter
at the castle? That would have done far
more good, but then 1t would not have
been so dramatic. Miss Parnel selling
the Lord Licutenant's bride rein will be a
subject for the illustrated papers. and
Miss Parnell will be the heroine OF the

IAN TO a conference at COnstanlinOple have

san TO conference at Constanlinople have
been over.ruled owing to these events.
A great fight was made in the House of
Lords on Monday over the bill for legaliL.
ing marriage with a deceased wife's sister.
For the second reading. parties wcre so
evenly balanced that a majority Of four
lost the bill, and ii would have been re-
duced to three only one peer was accident
ally shut out. In 1914 the House Of Com
mons would not introduce the measure at
all. but opinions had so greatly changed
in 1868 that,it passed four times, but al
ways met with a serious opposition in the
lords. One peer on Monday denounced
the proposed measure as an inducement ito
immortality. but he will probably find few
TO agree with him. One argument used
by the opponents of the bill was to the
eject that, if husbands can be allowed to
marry deceased wives sisters. why may
not wives marry the brothers Of their de-
ceased husbands. The whole question
opens up various others respecting degrees
of affinity. "A man may not marry his
grandmother" is one OF the laws Of the
land, but was ever the man known who
had such desire? The base Of the obiec-
ton at present raised is that a wife's rela'
ton when she marries become also her
husband 's-mother.in-law, Of course, in
cluded-snd the advocates OF the law as 1t
is say that the purity of family can only be
preserved in this way. No doubt muct
of the agitation has been caused by per
sons who have contracted illegal mar
rages. To these, in some cases, it seem!
almost life and death question. so anxi
Gus are they for the change; and cases arr
told of parties giving up everything ant
making enormous sacrifices in order Il
reside in countries where such marriage
are legal. The bill, as proposed, woult
doubtless be of some value, but othe
knotty questions will be sure to crop up
it becomes law. Other degrees Of atm
ity will be keenly discussed, especially tn
marriages ofcousins, so severely denounc
ed by many high authorities.
