MARRYING FOR A TITLE.

husbands are not always happy or sue cessful in their choice. The glitter of a title blihdsvPry often that delicate percep- ton of mutual compatibility that is the chief element of happiness in the marriage relation. The unhappy experience of the Countess di Montercole is simply new illustration of the harmful results that are married but not mated. .. -.
 The Countess di Montercole was Miss Virginia Knox of Pittsburg. She had riches and beauty and wealth of mental attachments that made her a center of at traction in the highest social circles of Pittsburg Admired and courted by scores of her countrymen she could have made a brilliant American marriage, bat the glamour of a royal lineage was upon her and made her take the fatal misstep that has clouded her young life and brought upon her the sorrows of q bighted existence. Her marriage with the Count di Mon tercole was celebrated with great splendor' but in less than a month after discord and jealousy crept in, scandalous quarrel in Paris hotel ensued y7nic s~-&ulted In their being ordered out by the landlord, and the names of the couple have been hauled through the mire and the mud of all the scandal marts of Europe and Ameri- ca The bride has made the humihating confession that she had been thoroughly deceived in her husband. She had believed him rich, but had learned that he was wholly without means. She had supplied him liberally with money, but he con stantly wanted more. Nothing seemed, to satisfy him: he was an inhuman brute
 l It is not so much the sad experience of Miss Knox that brings this marriage into prominence for her folly she has been terribly punished. tis the warning note it sounds, and that the sorrowing young bride herself would send, to her ambition sisters across the sea. American maidens who are anxious to marry title, to trade their millions and their beauty and accom-

Again the Bloody Shirt.

The bloody shirt revival all along
the line is but another evidence of the
panic among the leaders of the Repub-
lican party. They are frantically
searching for an Issue" which may
give them some hope of regaining the
Presidency. 1t is only little while
since the Republican politicians pro-
fessed to believe that they had found
such an issue in the tariff question
They thought to create a panic by
raising false cry of "free trade. +"
But as time goes on it becomes more
and more evident that the public. and
especially the working-men, are not
as easily scared that way as they were
once 1t is made palmer every day
that the masses of the people sustain
the Democratic policy of making the
needed reduction of revenue by taking
of. as far as possible. the taxes on the
peoples necessaries. Apparently the
Republican leaders realize that they
can not get another President out of
the free-trade scare. and in their des-
peration they are casting about for
another tissue" There is nothing
left but that threadbare fraud, the
bloody shirt. But necessity knows no
law. and in the absence of any thing
better the bloody shirt must again
serve to cover the Republican naked.

Three Fundamental COIors to Which All

Chevreul. the eminent French chem
list. whose hundredth birthday was so
gloriOusly celebrated two years ago, if
not the first to discover, was the first
to make plain to all the world, the
system of cOntrasted colors which, in
France. at least. bears his name. How
true it is that to give an idea universal
circulation it must be spread by a
Frenc Imam! According to Chevreul' s
system there are in nature three funda-
mental cOlors to which all others may
be reduced; red, blue and yellow. If
these three were to be had in absolute
purity, and were to be mixed together
in exact intensity and proportions,
they would neutralize one another.

ton at equal distances about circle,
then directly opposite the point .occu-

the point on the circle where the mix
of the other two will constitute its di-

its compliment is blue and yellow
mixed, that is green. The compliment
of blue is red and yellow mixed, that is
orange. OF yellow, red and blue mixed,
that is purple. In other words pure
red mixed with pure green will give

pure orange and pure yellow mixed
with pure purple. And so on all
