E,nperor williams First Lore.

The second volume of Mr. Treitschke's
German History" whicl. has just ap-
peared, contains All interesting episode
in the life Of William |.
The most beautiful ana accomplished
of all the young ladies OF Frederick
William His court was the Princess
Radziwil!. Prince William, was passion
ately in love with her, and, although it
might have been adjudged q splendid
match had the parties been born in i
cabin, objections were raised against it
BY the royal family or account OF in
equality OF birth.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Radziwills was one Of the oldest and
wealthiest Of the noble families of Prus-
sia, and that in the days Of Frederick
the Great Hohenzollcrn had married q
Radziwill, the law in relation TO royal
marriages had undergone change
since his time, it having become the
rule that only the daughters of reignlng
houses and those of former sovercigns
should be considered equal-born with
the sons of cmperors and kings. For
FIVE long years every effort was made BY
the relatives of both sides to meet the
objections raised against Prince Will
liam's happiness At the request of
Prince Radziwill, the celebrated attor-
ney Eichhorn wrotea legal opinion in
which the equality Of birth was. made
plain, but his opinion was opposed by
many eminent legal authorities on the
other side.
Tie proposition was considered that
Prince Aug gust of Prussia might adopt
the Princess Radziwill rs his daughter,
but five of the ministers replied that it
was their duty 70 declare that such
adoption did not change the blood.
In the meantime. Frederick William
His third son, Prince Kari, had mar
ried q princess of Wiemar, and the
grand ducal court of Saxony now made
it known that if Prince William per-
sisted in his intention the children of
Prince Karl would insist upon their
prcrogative of royal succession. Affairs
were assuming serious aspect for the
royal lovers, since a dispute in the sue
cession might involve the permanency
Of the Hohenzollern dynasty. At the
urgent and repeated entreaties of his
counselors, Frederick William LII. re-
luctantly consented to use his kingly
authority in the matter. This was in
1926, when the present emperor was
about 20 years of age. In letter filed
with fatherly and tender sentiment the
king represented to his son that mas
much as every reasonable effort had
been made, and made in vain, it be-
come his painful duty to ask him to sac
riice his noble sentiment Of regard for
the young princess to the interests OF
the royal house of Hohenzollern.
Upon the receipt Of this letter Prince
William was profoundly affected, but, as
dutiful son, when he had sufficiently
recovered from the shock. he informed
his father that he Was ready to comply
with his request.

An Antiseptic Climate.

One of the most curious results of my
observations is that the climate OF Da-
MARYLAND possesses what we might call
an antiscptic character for several
months of every year. The quality is
an attendant OF the long annual drought.
Every living thing suffers during that
period for the excessive heat, and much
comfort is impossible. even in the shade,
while, in place; exposed to the warm
winds, the thermometer has risen to
129 degrees; and The sand, unmoistened
for six months. becomes so hot that l
have seen eggs hardened in it. This
arid heat is opposed to the propagation
of fermcnt, for it dries up everything
that is exposed to the winG before it has
time to sour. No manifestations OF tu-
berculosis are known. Wounds of every
kind heal remarkably quickly and well,
without enough, suppuration taking
place 10 make the bandages stick. The
manner in which large, neglected
wounds heal OF themselves would form
an interesting study for q professional
surgeon. l observed q case Of 4 Hcrero
whose right lower arm had been shat
tered in battle by musket-ball. The
healing process had worked itself out in
such way that the whole lower arm
with all its muscles had become wither-
ed and useless, while the upper-arm
bone was whole and covered at its lower
end only with the brown skin. All the
muscles and ligaments OF the elbow
Joint had vanished, while the shoulder
muscles remained, so that the unpleas-
ant spectacle was presented Of the man
appearing to gesticulate with his bones.
A woman lived at our station whose
feet had been barbarously cut off in
some. war several years before, SO that
her captors might more easily get off the
iron ornament which the Herero women
wear on their ankles. Although the
woman had to lie helpless for 4 long
time, her wounds eventually healed up,
and now she has been hopping around
on her knees for thirty years.. &.

THE WRONG MEN LYNCHEE.
A Shocking Discovery Made Too Late to
Do Any Good.

Do ANY Good.
The horrible murder on Christmas
Eve, 1881, when three children Were
murdered at Ashland, Ky, which re-
suited in lynching, is recalled again
by developments about to be made
which will demonstrate that Neal,
Craft and Ellis were innocent Of the
crime for which they suffered. For
some time seven gentlemen have been
employing q competent detective to
sift every theory and investigate every
clew. Their work has been crowned
with success, and it is claimed that the
arrest OF the real criminals will soon
follow. The evidence is said to be
conclusive and will show that the
triple murder was committed early III
the evening; that the perpetrators
went to the house by appointment with
one of the girls, who had pre- viously
oeen on intimat terms with one of
them, and that the triple murder fol-
lowed the unintentional killing Of the
boy for resisting the assaults Oh the
girls. The arrests would have been
made before Dut for the excited stale
of puh!c ieeling on the subject. The
suspecten parties hold very respecta-
BILE places.

What IS tho Right Thing 70 Do?

Tie idea of marriage as the object OF
lite-an end for which girls arc to be
trained appears often 10 be the very
slumbling-block in the way. II they are
allowed TO grow Up thinking of mar
riagc only rs :. possibility. as an Incl
dent in their lives which may or may
not happen. will they not be better pre-
pared for whatever fortune has in store
for thcm9 Freed from that anxiety
about their future which characterizes
many young women now unconsciously
influenced by the popular riden that mar
riage is the only suitable destiny of wo
man, there would seem to be :: chance
that they might be trained to be happy,
whether they were married or single.
While acknowledging that 4 well-as-
sorscd marriage IS without doubt the
trucst and best lie for both man and
woman, can it be denied that an I'M
happy union is the creates: Of sorrows
in 4 woman's life. to say nothing of the
train of evils which it brings upon
others. Ii this idea that marriage is the
great object-the necessity of woman's
life-could be removed, there would Ger
tainly be more suitable and fortunate
unions and fewer Of the hasty, ill-con-
sidercd, unwise ones. So long rs two
people who know little Of each others
cent character, tastes and habits, and
n, hing of each others antecedents will
rashlv join themselves for life after an
acquaintance of a few weeks, so long
must we look for the horrors of the
newspapers, the scandals Of the divorce
courts and the lifelong martyrdom of
those who bear the ills that they cannot
fly from if girls did not learn from
those about them, from much Of their
reading. from the very atmosphere OF
society that they we're expected to mar
" somebody, they would hardly deem it
possible to take such 4 risk rs that Of
marri:.-,. without due consideration.
They wolld wait for the certainty that
it wa ;hc right thing to do, and that the
right persons for them had appeared.
Let them feel that the end and aim of
their lives is to be lit to be aconaen and
to fill their places as such in the world
that so much needs both good women
and good men. and there is no fear that
they will not b;, quite equal to the situa-
ton, if they find it best for their happi-
ness to marry.-Henrictta Daris, IN

Use of Fruits rs Food and Medicine.

Of all the fruits with which we are
blessed, says an exchange, the peach is
the most delicious and digestiblc. There
is nothing more paIatablc, wholesome
and medicinal than good lipe peaches.
They should be ripe, and not over ripe
and half rotten, and of this kind they
may make part of either meal, or be
eaten between meals; but it is batter to
make them pait of the regular meals. 1t
is mi taken idea that no fruit should
be eaten at breakfast. 1t would be far
better if our people would eat less bacon
and grease at breakfast and more fruit.
In the morning there is AN acrid state of
the sec etions, and nothing is so we'll
calculated to correct this as cooling SUBJ
acid fruits, such as peaches, apples, etc.
Still, most of us have been taught that
eating fruit before breakfast is highly
dangerous. How the idea originated l
do not know, but it is certainly great
error, contra y to both reason and facts.
The apple is one of the best of fruits.
Baked or stewed apples will generally
agree with the most delicate stomach
and are an excellent medicine in many
cases of sickness. Green or half-ripe
apples stewed and sweetened are pleas
ant to the taste, c oling, nourishing and
laxative, far superior, in many cases, to
the abominable doses of salts or oil usu-
ally given in fever and other diseases.
Raw apples and dried apples stewed are
better for constipation than most liver
pills.
Oranges are very acceptable to most
stomachs, having all the advantage of
the acid alluded to; but the orange juice
alone should be taken, rejecting the pulp.
The same may be said Of lemons,
pomegranates, and all that class. Lem
onade is the best drink in fevers, and
when thickencd with sugar is better than
syrup of squills and nauseous drugs IN
many cases of cough.
Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels,
and are much more pleasant and safe
than blue mass and oliver regulators. "
The Juice should be used alone, rejecting
the skins.
The small seeded fruits, such as black
berries, figs, raspberrieS, currants and
Strawberries, may be classed among the
best foods and medicines. The sugar in
them is nutritious, the acid is cooling
and purifying and the seeds are laxative.
We would be much the gamer if we
would look more to our orchards and
gardens for our medicine and less to our
drug stores. To cure fever or act on the
kidneys, no febrifuge or diuretic is su-
perior to watermelon, which may, with
very few exceptions, be taken in sickness
and health in almost unlimited quanti-
ties, not only without injury but with
positive benefit. But in using them the
water, or juice, should be taken, ex.
cluling the pulp, and the melon should
be fresh and ripe, but not over-ripe and
stale

sayases Repulsed with Hot Water

News was received recently of a terri
BILE fight on board the labor recruiting
steamer Dick, betwe n nM es of Malayta,
one of the Solomon islands in the West
ern Pacific, and the crew of the steamer.
This fight calls to mind the attack made
by the same islanders some ten years ago
upon merchant vessel plying between
China and Sidney, in which The Captain
of the ship, though he had only rusty
revolver and O few culasses on board,
bea. tie natives off in strikingly orr
ginal manner.
He was bccalmed when near Malayta,
and, in spite of all he could do, he slowly
dr. fled toward the island. He could see
crowds of natives lining the shore, and
he knew they would come out to attack
him as soon as he had drifted a little
nearer. Every cooking utensil he could
crowd on to the stoves he filled with
water, which was soon boiling hot.
Pretty soon the natives came out IN their
canoes, and tried to board the vessel. He
drenched each canoe load as it came up
with boiling water. Tho naked savages
shrieked with pain, and were glad to
push away. Getting out of boiing-water
range, they let fly shower Of arrows, but
did little damage. They fully expected
that the vessel would be driven on the
rocks, and would then be at their mercy.
but, fortunately, breeze sprung up, and
the gallant Captain, who hal kept his
wits about him when he needed item,
made his escape.

Pursued by a Mountain q Lion.

The Truckee (Cal) Republican reports
an exciting adventure a:d narrow escape
of G. w. Harvey. lie was riding horse
back from Sardinc Valley to Loyalton,
and while going through some woods
the wild and terrifying scrcech of CAL
ifornia lion sounded close at hand by the
side of the road. The horse gave =
bound, nearly unseating the rider; at
the same time the lion gave spring and
landed in the road few feet in the rear.
Then commenced race down the grade.
Nearly paralyzed with fear. the rider
hung on for dear life, while the lion
made desperate leaps in the attempt to
overtake the almost flying steed, every
little while emitting one of those ear
piercing yells, sufficient to strike terror
10 the bravest of men. The race contin-
ued for nearly mite before the animal
abandoned tho idea of overtuking his
would -be-vict;ln. The shock to Mr. Har-
vey's system was So great that he did not
recover for several days.
