An Unceremonious Princess.
.[London Society

lLOuuOn 0oclety.l
Here is an anecdote Of the Princess Royal
when she first went TO her home at Berlin:
A Prussian Princess, for instance, is not al
lowed by her mistress Of the robes to take up a
chair, and after having carried it through the
whole breadth Of the room, to put it down in
another corner. 1t was while committing
such an act that Princess Wet oria was lately
caught by Countess Perponcher. The vener-
able lady demonstrated with considerable de-
gree of earnestness s'I'll tell you what" re.
piled, nothing daunted, the royal heroine of
this story-"I'll tell you what, my dear Coun-
tess; you are probably aware of the fact of nv
mother being the Queen of England?" The
Countess bowed in assent.
"Well," resumed the bold Princess; s'then
must reveal to you another fact: her Majesty
the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, has
not once, but very often, so far forgotten her
self as to take up chair. I speak from per-
sonal observation I assure you. Nay, if am
not greatly deceived, / noticed one day my
mother carrying chair in each hand, in order
to set them for her children. Do you really
think that my dignity forbids anything which
is frequently done by the Queen Of England?'
The Countess bowed again and retired, per-
haps not without a little astonishment at the
biographical information she had heard.
However, she knew her office, and resolved to
prove not less staunch to her duties than the
Princess to her principles.

The Brown Divorce Case.
Max Adeler in Our Continent. !

l-AAA 1oO4OA Ii OuA OO1lllcut.
81 see" said Mrs Smyth, looking over the
evening paper, that the Brown divorce case
has gotten into the courts"
ct has, eh?" said Mr., Smyth. And now
suppose the papers will be filed with the dis
gushing details of the trial. These divorce
cases ought to be heard by the courts with
closed doors. 1t is disgraceful that the public
journals should be permitted to cater to the
depraved appetites OF the people. What does
the report say, Ellen?"
ssMrs Brown, it says, brought the suit, and
Mr. Brown is the defendant"
81 know; but what does it say about tho
proceedings? Coon and read it"
se'Mrs Brown came into the court room,
heavily yelled, with her counsel, and sat right
in front of the jury-box.' 1t is ayery short
report"
'sThat's queer. The Evening Sunbeam
usually has such things in full. Well, go on
Mr.. Brown sat with his counsel, and after
the jury was selected the counsel for Mrs
Brown rose to present his case, He spoke for
half an hour, going over all the charges, which
were of a revolving character, and -
Doesn't it give what the man said?'
apparently not Too bad, isn't it?n
That's the poorest newspaper [ ever saw.
I'll buy the Argus after this. However, the
0llAl6b Will uhfo d CGfOULtUI report Ia the
morning. Read what is there any way"
After the case has been thus opened, the
counsel said that he had twenty-three wit
nesses present, each of whom would unfold un-
der oath a portion of this most painful story.'''
"Ahi Now we are coming to it!'
Here seems to be the testimony of the first
witness in full. Perhaps, Henry, I'd better
not read it. 1t is probably shocking
"Oh, well, of course such things ought not to
be printed, but if the newspapers will insert
them and thrust them into decent families. we
might as well look over them. What did he
swear to?
''The paragraph is full Of asterisks, as il
some OF the most unpleasant revelations have
been omitted
.Mutilated, hey? Pahawl How annoying
When [ want a thing want it. don't want
few scraps of it. Read it anyhow"
The witness said'-but, no, was mis-
taken. Just as the witness began to testify
the counsel for the defense rose to interrupt
him.
"What on earth was he meddling with it
for?"
1.-THE counsel urged upon the Court the de-
STABILITY Of preventing so much scandal, and
he offered to consent that Mrs. Brown should
have simple decree of divorce upon the
ground of desertion.
''Not accepted, of course? These lawyers
are nuisance"
'"This was agreed to by the counsel for the
plaintiff, and the decree being promptly grant
ed By the Court, the witnesses and the jury
were dismissed"
And the whole thing droppei?"
$50 the report says"
'sNot a line of testimony"
mo" "a
Tits outrageousl And case that excited
SO much public interest, too"
Shameful said Mrs. Smyth.
'But I'll get it in spite of the Court, . said
Mr.. Smyth, 81 know Simpson, one of the wit
nesses, and I'll call tomorrow and ask him to
give me all the facts. Then we can pass them
around"
Then Mrs. Smyth threaded her needle and
Mr.. Smyth stretched himself on the loun ge for
a nan.

THE plan of having two ocean E1anes'' to
be followed by steamers crossing the Allan
tic-one for those going east and a parallel
one for those going west-which has been
urged, is cordially approved by Captain
Mckay of the Cunard line, who has written
letter to the New York Herald on the sub
jeet, in which he expresses the opinion that
the agitation which has been set on foot is
Sin fair way to bring about much needed
change in the existing system, or rather
want of system, of navigating Atlantic wat
ers." The increased distance by the longest
of the ''lapes'' proposed is Fonly about 100
miles, and it Imay be. that others can be
agreed upon which will involve little or no
increase of distance. They might necessarily
vary little in different years, owing to such
causes as an unusual movement of icebergs,
and in different seasons of the year, and
then there would be occasional deviations by
reason of severe storms; but that a general
system of ocean travel can be laid out which
will give substantially permanent eastward
and westward tracks for vessels between Eu-
rope and America, there does not seem at
present to be any doubt. Such an arrange
ment would reduce the danger of collision
between vessels in mid-ocean to almost
nothing, and would greatly increase the
chances OF rescue in case vessel were to be
disabled or wrecked.

THE Congressional effort to organize the
Territory of Alaska, as it is called, does not
have the prospect of immediate success; ;
the chief difficulty being the lack of popula-
ton and the scattered condition of the in
habitants eligible to citizenship. According
to the census this acquisition of ours has an
area of 566,S62 square miles, on which is a
total white population of 1902 whites, includ-
ing women and children, or a density of one
white person to 1850 square miles. The
Creoles or Russian half casts, who by the
terms of the treaty are eligible to citizen
ship, number 1913 of both sexes and all
ages; and these two classes furnish all the
material for the organization of territorial
government. The proportion of eligible
population therefore, to the superficial area,
is as one to 273 square miles. And there
are three bills before Congress providing
political organization for this promising
possession.

OR THE
Queen Of. SheIa'S Beauty
WAS But SKIN DEEP.

The renowned Queen of Sheba, with all her royal
pomp, magnificent apparel and brilliant retinue.
would never have appeared within the presence of
the grandest of the monarchs of the past, had she
not also possessed thar which is the browning glory
of the female persona skin unchallenged for its
purity. Cleopatra, holding emperors at bay, and
ruling empires by her word, had quickly lost her
charm and power by one attack of blotches, or of
pimples or of horrid tan and freckles.
WOMAN RULES THE WORLD
by her beauty not less than by her purity of charao
Ter, loneliness of disposition and unsefsh devotion.
Indeed, in the estimation of perhaps too many men
beauty in body takes precedence over every other
consideration. Beauty thus forms an important
part of woman's working capital, without which
too many, Gf not bankrupts in what relates to in
fiuence within the circle where they move, are
powerless for great good. Hence we see not only
the propriety but the duty of every lady preserving
with Jealous care that which to her is essential to
and influence, and usefulness in life. And,
since "beauty IL but skin Deep the utmost care
and vigilance required to guard it against the
many ills that flesh is heir to. Among the great
and annoying enemies of beauty,

MISSOURI must be nice state to live in,
according to prevailing accounts. A writer
in the New York Herald, who says he had
to leave in order to save his life, after hav-
ing been crippled, declares that there were no
less than 10 murders committed in one year
within mile and half of his farm, and
the land thereabout was very sparsely set
tied; SO that the percentage of deaths by vio-
lence was rather large. He asserts that
there are more than score of men now at
large in Missouri who have murdered two
persons where Jesse James did one, and
they have the sympathy and good will of at
least one-third of the people among whom
they reside.

THE prospect is good for reduction in
the rate of letter postage. A bill which the
House Committee on post offices has agreed
to report with a favorable recommendation
provides for uniform rate of two cents for
each half ounce of frst-class mail matter.
and there seems to be no reason to expect
that this measure will encounter much seri-
GUS opposition, either in the House or SEN
ate. The business of the post office has SO
far increased within the last few years that
the Department is now nearly if not quite
seif-supporting, and the reduction which it
is proposed to make is one which the gov
eminent can well afford. Besides, it does
not follow as matter of course that it
would result in any decrease of revenue.
AS we know, ehesp postage has always
hitherto been financial success, the reduc-
ton in the rate being much more than com
pensated for by the attendant increase in
business. Congress will not risk much by
putting the rate for letters down cent.
