Royal Divorces Of the Past.
lPall Mall GaZOttO.l

The case Of The unfortunate Queen
Natalie does not stand alone in The HIS
! tory Of royal ladies'. In our own cen-
tury there have boon three royal d..
vorccs, but perhaps tho lot OF none III
them WAS 80 painful rs that Of The
young Queen Of Servia. The first SOW
ereign who wns divorced from his wife
was Napoleon ]. lie abandoned 10.

| tho Arcbduchess Maria Louisa Of AUS
tria. As there was no real cause for
the divorce, II WAS put forward ON no.
half of the Emperor that the marriage
was celebrated by IL republican priest
only, and therefore it was not valid ac-
cording to the laws of the Church Of
! Rene. Tho excuse WAS very weak
one, and, indeed, quite absurd, ns the
Pope, At the conclusion of the Concor-
dat, had given diY,ensatO u ratiice 10
all marriages celebrated since 1888 but
the Empcror's wish was ut tho time
the supreme law for The episcopal con.
sistory in Paris, and the divorce WAS
granted on the pay ment OF certain
fine "according TO tho means" of tho
parties. The most notorious royal d.
vorce case in recent English history is,
Of course, that OF George ". of En-
gland, who wanted to get rid OF of his
wife, the poor princess Caroline, from
whom he had lived separated for many
years. A bill was introduced into
Parliament for the purpose, and was
strenuously opposed on behalf of tho
Queen by Henry Brougham, anarward
Lord Brougham and Vaux, Lord
Chancellor Of Great Britain, and Thos.
Denman, anerward Lord Denman.
Lord Chef Justice of England. What
these two counsel said against tho
King would be enough to get 800 coun-
sci into prison on tho Continent or
make Judges faint. The bill was al
lowed by small majority TO be read IL
second time, but public opinion was 80
much against II that the Government
thought IL better to Withdraw IL after
tho third reading. So tho Kings wish
was not carried out, and the whole
scandal was in vain. The poor Queen
died "A few weeks after her accession,
but tho King never married again.
Crown Prince William oi Wur,em-
burg, the father of the present King
Charles Of Wurtemburg, was compeiI-
ed, In 1903, by Napoleon ], TO marry
the Princess Caroline Augusta, Of Ba-
varia. The marriage was celebrated
on June 8, but the young couple sepa-
rated the very same day and never
| again saw each other. In 1914 they
were divorced, and the Princess two
years afterward married Francis /,
Emperor OF Austria, aud in 1925 WAS
crowned Queen Of Hungary.

a long time, and now the people are

he could do .,othing unless he made q
big assault at first and overpowered
his man by superior weight. Mitchell
is dodger, and kept him at bay until
he lost his wind; then my brave John

greatly overrated man. I am glad of
his defeat. He will die a beggar, as he
deserves to do, for his ill.treatment to

"Never! If he was made of gold, and
there was not another man in the

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth -

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, sLrill
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit.
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet it is fact caused BY our dry stimulate
ing atmosphere, ana the universal presence
of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the English,
1t is quite impossible to account for it ex-
cept on the theory of deranged stomach &C.
ton caused by imprudence in eating and
by want Of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural,
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mai-nmtrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition
is modern one, unknown to our ancestors
vino prevented the catarrh, cold, cough
and consumption by abundant and regular
use Of what Is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy
and Log Cabin SArsaparilla, two old fash
Toned standard remedies handed down
hon Iut ouCCosoiSs uAtu uOW Exclusively
put forth under the strongest guarant tees Of
purity and efficacy by The world-famed
makers of Warmers safe cure. These two
remedies plentifully used as the spring
and summer seasons advance give a posi-
tive assurance of freedom, both from catarrh
and those dreadful and if neglected, inc ,it-
able consequences, pneumonia, lung troub-
les and consumption, which so generally
and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, Of Salem, Henry
Co., Iowa, served four years in the late
war and contracted disease called con-
sumption by the doctors He had frequent,
hemorrhages. After using Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy. he
says, under date of Jan. 10 h, 1888: II do
rot bleed at the lungs any more, my cough
does not bother ne. and i do not have ans
more smother ing SPELLS" Warmers Log
Cabin Rose Cream cured his wi fe of ca
tarrh aud she is ''sound and WE'LL"
Of course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.

We do. not propose to
write you a Lecture. Sermon, or
Essay on the fraiities of Human
nature, but wish to have con-
fidential chat with you on that
subject. as far as it is connected
with the Watch and Jewelry bus
mess. When we first started in
this business in the spring Of
1875 it was with high hopes
and high and holy desire to do
Justice to all beth 10 good sold,
work repaired aud to reap a pc
caniary reward, sufficient to help
US oyer the rough places OF life.
In our short experience of APP
premiership previous to that
time zoe did not claim TO know
it all, but expected at all times
to keep a practical and reliable
journeyman But alas! How
quick the tide turned. A few
watches stopped, perhaps from
the neglect of the owners it
might have been our fault. Soon
it was said by some shat boy
is not fit to fix q wateh;' Why I
bought watch key from him
and my watch stopped the next
day, 4 not, this, just such unreas-
enable remarks drove away the
large trade of my predecessor,
then my journeyman had to go.
Then there a0as trouble in the
jewelry store. Youth and mex.
perience battling with the cold
heartless world. Many, except
some steadtast friends. ready to
fulfil the old adage, "When a
man commences to go down hill
give him a kick" But with firm
belief that truth and right would
prevail I held on with pluck
and energy that had it been ap-
piled to other business or other
places, would have enabled me
to count my dollars by the thous.
ands instead of hundreds. But
the past has gone and cannot
be retrieved. Thirteen years
have nearly passed away, and
with the struggles and triumphs
of business here and in the trade
work shop of Phila, find that
l have dearly bought the exper.
fence that now enables me to
say l am competent to put in
good order any work that you
may leave with rue. | devised
a Watchmakers Record for my
own use but conceived the idea
of placing it on the market for
sale Attempting to do this
found l was unable to meet the
requirements of my increasing
trade, so called from the city my
fermer helper Mr.. Wn. Shep-
pard who is too well known to
need any recommendation from
me as this is hi, native place, he
worked at the business here for
three years, and several months
in fine jewelry and repair store
in Phi a. VIII ere he would yet haye
been had not this opportunity
offered at home. Thanking yos
my friends Tor ysur past favors
l would respectfully solicit the
future patronage of all. assuring
you that ali work will be done

4 Story Relating 10 the Introduction of

Hughes states the rosary was bor-
rowed by the Crusaders from the Mo.
hsmmedans. who probably borrowed
1t from the Buddhists, ("Dictionary
of Islam" verbo ':Rosary;'') but from
the following story 1t would appear to
be an Independent invention of the
Moslema The Prophet being greatly
perplexed by the number of suitors
for the hand Of his daughter Fatima
declared that OH a certain night
Zohreh, (Eenus) would descend to the
house Of him whom God wished to be
the happy man, and to him according
~ Fatima would be united. At the
appointed time all the interested
parties were on the qui vivs. The star
was seen to leave the Heavens,
and Fatims (who. with her father.
secretly favored tho suit of her
cousin Ali began to pray that it
should fall on Ali's house. BY the
time she had repeated ''Allah-ho-A Ak
bar" Good is great') thirty.four
times the star had alighted at Airs
door, Thon. in transport Of Joy,
she broke out with "Alhsmdo.lillah"
('Praise be to CODY. and by the time
she had repeated this ejaculation
thirty three times tho star began to
ascend. Then the girl calculated
'Subhan-Allah" go holy Cod
thirty.three times. that is, until the
star was lost to view. Fntima was
now welded to Ali. while the rejected
suitors bowed submissively to the will
of God. At the same time the Prophet

inspiration Of his daughters ejaoula.
