MiLANESE LADIES.
Interesting Gossip About the Female Pop

Interesting Gossip About the Female Pop
ulation OF the " Pearl of LoMbardy."
The gait of the Miianesc lady is not
quite so graceful as that of the Paris
ienna. Look at the latter on the boule-
wards Is she glides along the asphalt
her tiny heels rarely if ever touching
the pavement: aud look at the Milan
csc beauty leaning more on the heel
than on the foot. and you will remark
at once the difference in the style Of
both. On the other hand the Lon-
bardian maid or matron has the adj
vantage in skin and color. We do not
see, it is true, such creamy whitcness
here as one would expect to find in a
squire's manor in one of the English
shircs; but the defect is more than
compensated by the subjucd glow Of
roses on almost every cheek. The
he:d-drcss worn by Italian girls of the
humber class, composed OF dark gauze,
coqucttishly tied in "a knot on the FORE
head, and falling in graceful folds over
the neck, adds muca to their natural
prettiness. A IN NIX in Sa6ots, with
such covering for her tresses. is even
an attractive sight! ladies here gem
orally wear their hair tr5se, wildly lux
nriating over brow and ears. In speak
ing with them the stranger invariably
remarks that they gesticulate in all
the moods and lenses, and that their
voices are not rs soft and flexible as
one would anticipate. The fact is that
aLombardian woman s voice is in many
cases slla.lc nearer the masculine
than the feminine. These women are.
To paraphrase well-known saying:
LAMBS when stroked. but lionesses
when provoked" In other words,
their hate is as strong and violent as
their love. These qualities are con-
fined to TO particular class of society.
An overwhelming imperiousness, how
ever. is the great characteristic OF the
patsician dame. A Roman sgnora Of
blue biocd Is sad to te the prOudest
woman in tbs world. The Miianese
signora of simil:.r extraction apes her
Romsn sister. In conversation she
rises To her full heighy. throws her head
back haughtily, aud IS in address ex-
ceedingly vain and ptmpons. she

Yellow Fever incubation.

In a letter addressed by DR.. Domin-
Cos Freire. of Rio dc Janeiro, to DIR.
Joseph Holt, President of the Louisiana
State Board of Health, the following
interesting statement is made: Il have
performed over 1000 NEGOTIATIONS with
full success; the immunity was almost
absolute, notwithstanding the intensity
of the epidemic this year. More than
5000 persons who were not inocuiated
died OF yellow fever, while among the
1000 inoculatcd. inhahiting the same
infected localities. subjected to the
same morbid condition, but seven or
eight individuals. whose disease was
diagnosed as yellow fever. died. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that I have
taken notes of but one of these cases.
My confrercs here have the ahomina-
BILE habit of not giving notice of the
fact until after the int rment of the in
dividuals, AMI consequently accuse me
of being unsuccessful. You therefore
see that in spite OF all this bad will my
doctrine comes out victorious once
more by the test of this year. when the
epidemic characterized Itself by encr-

1--WE want to be married for three

of Poles that recently entered the Office
of Clerk Robinson of the Jersey City
police board, who is also justice of
the peace.
Leaning on the mans arm was a
well-drcssed young woman, who smiled
chcerfuily and nodded assent to the
expressed wish.
"Why, l can't do that" said the
Squire, Its against regulations.
"Wc!l, make it five years, then. "
pleaded the man.
The young woman, easy to please.
again nodded acquicscence.
Cant do that either,'' said the
Justice "All marriages in New Jersey
are tor life, unlimited and for better OF
worse"
The man seemed greatly disAr-
pointed. There was consultation in
which all the party took part The
young woman made no objection to
any of the plans proposed, save that
of abandoning the project of getting
married at all. The man seemed in
clined to that rather than marriage
without limitation, but he finally con-
sented to the only contract which the
justice would ratify, and the marriage
ceremony was performed.
The bridegroom gave his name as
John Budronch. and the young woman
said she was Kate White. Both said
they resided ut 40S Henderson street.

lMsEcILE KINGS.

Madmen Who Have Occupied the Thrones
of Austria. Spain and Other Countries.
The recent death of King Ludwig, of
Bavaria, is the sad ending of tale Of
gloom. Such tragedies are heart-shak-
ing TO the immediate eyewitness, and
faith-shaking to those who reflect that
the victims are overtaken by D doom
inevitable and for which they are in no
measure responsible. The wretehed
King, who was an amiablc and clever
man, must have felt himself under the
onward-creeping shadow for years.
The dreadful doom of madness was be-
fore his eyes, for his brother had been
mad for years. and the records of his
family contain other Instances of NOR
bid melancholy passing into the acute
phase of frenzy.
They are not alone among royal
houses in their possession of the hered-
itary curse of madness. 1t is to be
found centuries back in both the Aus
trian and the Spanish branches of the
house of Hapsburg. Charles V. was
the child of mad mother; a charita-
bic construction of Philip lis charac-
ter is that he labored under the family
malady which appeared in a violent
form in his unfortunate son. The last
of the Austrian Kings of Spain died
melancholy mad. Indeed. the black
specter is at the banGucts in royal pal
aces throughout Europe. Emperor
Williams predecessor on the throne of
Prussia used to give royal banquets a
novel and interesting zest by bathing
his face in the soup, and lifting his
royal head adorned with pendants of
vcrmicclli.
Madmen have occupied the throne
of France. England's mad monarch

ing the last ten years of his life he was

-"old, mad. blind. despised and dying King"
described by Shelley. DIR. Doran, in
one of his gossipy books, has given a
chapter to ''Kings who were their own
fools" One of the Spanish Princes
amused himself by putting paper FOOLS
caps on Ambassadors. He tried the
trick on stout old Lord Ligonier,
George Ii. s representative at the court
of Spain. But the Minister was as
pcppery as his master, and. tearing the
cap from the Princes hand, he tore it
to pieces and babe the royal mounte-

How enormous has been the slaughter
of innocent birds for the purpose OF
Identifying ugly and heartiess women
is shown by these statistics: England
imports from India, Africa and Amcri-

million exotic birds, including 250. 600
humming birds. are annually imported
to France and England. The ostrich
feathers alone do not imply slaughter
