Camille seiden.


Few female figures of late have been brough
into more sudden or remarkable prominence
than that of Camille selden. 10 mouche, whose
touching account of the last days of Heinrich
Heine has commanded so universal an interest
in Germany and France. In the last number
of the Gartenlaube DR.. Engel supplements
the information she gives about herself in
the last days. If the mouche, rs he loved
to call her, was not Heines last love,
says DR.. Engol, AL students and adj
mirers of Heino must still homer her
memory as that Of graceful being who
frightened his last days. and to whom, perhaps,
tho last word in German was spoken that
ever came from his lips" Camille Seldom Is at
present teacher of German ut school in
Rouen. Her personal appearance when she
met Heinc was attractive, not only in the
eyes of the poet, but also to outsiders such rs
Strodtmann, who writes "Sho came to Paris
as q child, then went to England, but after
ward returned to Paris. Light brown curly
hair framed u delicate face from which her
blue eyes looked out with n sweet smile into
the world French esprit and German tervor
were exquisitely united in her graceful
manner, which Heine regarded with un-
speakablc delight" The poets letters which
not long ago woro published by Madame
Selden, and tho poems dedicated to
her, all speak of an affection stronger
and deeper than the countless and ephemeral
love affairs of Hcine's younger days. Refer
ring to those and the dreadful lovely idyl at
tho poets deathbod, DR., Engel says "As
reader, secretary, willing helper in the small
necessities OF an authors life, nay, oven as
assistant in the French translation of his
latter works, she was u welcome visitor to
him. She was always received with an
ardent affection; yet tho relation between
Hene and his mouche were tho purest
imaginable between man and woman, and
few stories are moro idyllio than that which
described her tender ministration ct the side
of the mattress grave of tho dying poet"

Conkling early in August. Through the
Intervention Of friends reconciliation has
been effected. According to this mans as

1t was said that as result of such action

south American Cities.

Early on the following morning, says
a South American traveller, we reached
Montevldeo. This place, although so
near Buenos Ayres, is entirely different
in character. Montevideo looks like
large provincial town, while Buenos
Ayres has cosmopolitan appearance.
In Montevideo the buildings are regu-
lar in architecture, French in style, and
the streets mostly wide and well paved,
and severed, while in Buenos Ayres
the streets are narrow, the pavements
horrible, and the sewers worse than
bad-so much so that at times when
the river is high, the sewerage, in place
of being drained, fills some streets.
Montevideo has comfortable, dreamy
sort Of appearance, Still they have
American-bullt street-cars. Owing to
constant feeling of insecurity, the re-
suit of frequent revolutions, improve
ments are held back, and unlike the
Argentine Republic, Uruguay does not
prosper much. The President, Santos,
lS III ldCJ q hIStolOls anu hiNLithiio
himself through the clerical party,
backed by the military. The troops
are picked lot of men, well fed, cloth
ed, and paid, and are more a check
against than a protection to the people.
They are we'll drilled and make a fine
appearance. The officers all belong to
the conservative party. While at Mon
tevldeo the Spanish residents had a
celebration. Fearing disturbances be-
tween them and the Italians, the troops
were kept in the barracks. Returning
from the grounds in the afternoon,
there was whole battalion, with OIL
GERS, seated three deep in regular ranks,
on American chairs, taking up the
whole sidewalk, and making the people
whom they were admiring take the
middle OF the street. Lately, through
the complaints Of many merchants,
frauds to the amount of 100000 were
discovered in the Montevideo custom
house. Two officials were at once ar
rested, but soon released and reinstated.
An investigation is still going on, and
will continue until the matter
is forgotteR, when it will be dropped.

was leaving the room, 81 will give my
notice, and if you will aid me in obtain

her bright face, she closed the door.
Outside the parlor, she sat down and
laughed till the tears ran down her
cheeks, and Harold, coming through
the hall just then, was informed that
she was going to give her notice.
"You shall not, }" he said, in his mas
terful way, when she told HIM what his
father had proposed, and then she ran
off to set the dinner table, while Har-
old, fuming with anger, confronted his
father.

Harold had exhausted his passion, iii

Thus, in a most novel way, the al

Doctor Milton was consummated, while
Harold was greatly surprised to learr
that Minnie Niles, waitress at the GleI
House, was the very girl whom hi
father had selected to be his wife.

Texas drovers are busy preparing for
their annual cattle driye-au hegira of
cattle, it might be called. One of the
first questions which they have to settle,
is the trail or route which shall be pur-
sued. This has become a matter of ne
little moment. A trail must afford foOd
and water for the beeves which will pass
along it, "as thick as leaves in Valam-
brosa." This desideration could be
easily provided, but for the fact that as
soon as the trail strikes the ranges Of
Kansas and Nebraska, the rangemen
have something to say. Some of their
ranges are just large enough to support
the herds already on them and it is the
most natural thing in the world for
them to object to furnishing pasturage
for immense herds of foreign cattle, TO
say nothing about the extra labor re-
quired to keep the range cattle from In
termingling with the drove
Hitherto the trail has been settled
by an amicable arrangement between
the drovers and the rangemen. The
drovers appoint committee TO go
north and pick out trail, about as a
railroad company sends out corps Of
surveyors for proposed line. The
rangemen appoint representatives to
meet the drovers' committee, and be-
tween them they pick out the most feas-
able route. Each community of range
men may appoint its committee to meet
before the drovers and the head COM
mittee. The latter is usually appoint
ed to act for a whole section of a state.
Unlike railroad line, no community
wants the trail. The object of its COM
mittee is to keep the trail just as far
away as possible. Legally, the range
men have no more rights than the
drovers. Anybody has the privilege OF
placing his stock upon Uncle Sans
land where he will, but there is an uR-
written law among stock men that the
first occupant of range towns" it. A
range right has become determinate
property and is bought and sold like the
herd of cattle on it, and a good location
almost equals the value Of good sized
herd. Only a certain number of cattle
can occupy district without danger OF
an immense loss which would sweep
away all the profits, and in districts
where the limit has been reached, the
range men can only look in alarm at the
establishment Of the Texas trail in their

The reign of Henry III, which occu-
pied fifty-six years of the thirteenth
century, appears to have been the cul-
mination Of the power and wealth of
the Templars. But their position be-
came invldious; their privileges en-
croached on the rights of the Church
and the prerogatives of the sovereign
and feudal chiefs, 1t is not wonderful
that, distinguished and enriched as the
Templars had been, their hearts should
have been lifted up with the pride
which goes before fall. The TEN.
plars were the scream Of the cream"
of European chivalry, and the esprit de
corps of the order inhamed the pride
which chiyalry universally inspired.
Their pride, however, does not appear
to have shown itself in magnificent
buildings; their preceptories, as far as
we can Judge from the few remains of
them, at Temple Hurst and elsewhere,
were unostentatious. Indeed, as they
were only transient occupants of their
homes, they were not likely to expend
much on their architecture or their
ornament. OF The history of the Tenn
plars in Yorkshire, between the time
of their establishment and their disso-
luton, scarcely any records remain.
That many of the Templars were STAIN
ed with the Righteousness of the age is
by no means improbable. In January,
1903, orders were given thai the Tenn
plars throughout England should be
arrested and their property sequestered.
The king had sent writ to the sheriff
of Yorkshire, Sir John de Crepplnge,
commanding him to summon twenty
| four discreet and faithful knights, to
be at York on the morrow Of the puri-
flcation, the day appointed for the cap
ture of the Templars. The Templars,
who had been brought together from
all the northern counties to York, had
undergone examination from April 27
to May A, 1910. We are surprised to
find that they were only twenty-five in
HunlDtly luOot VI bnSll hdluoo luulSdlC
their Yorkshire origin. Among them
were the preceptor of Ribston, William
de Grafton: the preceptor of Flaxfete,
William de la Femme; the preceptor of
Newsome, Godfrey de Arches, and two
priests. William de Grafton, of Rib
ston, as appears from his examination,
had been thirty-two years in the order,
having been admitted in London by the
grand master. Being questioned on
the subject of its imputed heresies, he
replied that he believed as other men
believed; and as to the abnegation OF
Christ, he declared that he had never
heard of such things. The distribu-
tion of the Templars among the mon
asteries soon afterwards took place.
John de Hopperton, formerly a TEN.
plar, appears as enjoying free mainte'
nance from the preceptory OF Ribston,
near Wetherby, then held by the Hos.
pitallers. Among the charges on theiI
revenues in 1888 are the annual wages.
SIX marks each, of twelve Templars
among whom are several Yorkshire
men.

soudanese weapons.

The weapon used by the Soudanese is
chiefly the lance. The best lances are
those nsed by the Bedja and Khaza
races, who fought under Osman Digna
in the late engagements near Suakim.
These lances are rarely thrown, being
much too heavy for this purpose. The
lances of the Daggara tribe, who are
the principal supporters of the Mahdi,
are about sixteen feet long and have
head three inches long, sharpened at the
point and at both edges. The next
favorite weapon is a straight double
edged sword, about three feet long,
mostly manufactured in Germany. Or
dnary swords, daggers and oak clubs
are also used, but bows and arrows have
almost entirely gone out Of fashion.
The shields used are made Of the skins
Of elephants, rhinocerOses, bufraloes and
giraffes and are about sixteen inches in
diameter. Armor also is used by the
leading men Of most of the tribes. 1t
consists of an iron helmet and visor,
and a coat made of thin steel rings,
which covers the whole body down to
the feet. The chiefs horses are also
protected in similar manner, but the
cost of this armor is so great that not
more than 600 sets are in use in the
whole of the Soudan. Firearms are not
very common and those in use are not

We have been eating bread and butter
for generations, and we wake one morn
ing to be solemnly informed bya medical
wiseacre that we have been eating it the
wrong way all the time; the sense Of
taste IS keener on the tongue than on
the palate, and therefore to get the full
est flavor of the butter we should turn
the slice upside down. Adapting this
plan much less butter is needed, and the
father of large family may save a
small fortune by buttering his children's
bread on the other side, or making them
stand on their head while eating.
