GOOD SYLVIA CARMEN.
An Interesting Biographical Sketch O
the Queen of Roumania.

An Interesting Biographical Sketch OF
the Queen of Roumania.
Who is the artist-queen who tells
stories on the sands? Well, it is a
story in itself. She was the daughter
of Prince Herman of Wied, and the
Princess Mary of Nassau, and in her
girlish days at Bonn, when she used to
wander into the village school and sing
with the children, her ''sweet, yet
sometimes wild and turbulent temper"
says a recent writer on her life, gained
for her from her parents the name of
"Waldroeschen"-lit wild rose. The
story of her education brings her close
to us, for we know that "Ivanhoe,"
and that pathetic American tale The
Wide, Wide World" and the works OF
Shakespeare and Dickens, We're among
her favOrite books. She wrote, as she
still writes, touching and graceful
poems, even when wandering through
European courts. AS became Prin-
cess of her rank, she mastered many
languages, and when she went with
her mother to Sweden in 1868 to visit
her royal relatives, she was soon able
read the fairy legends of Friesland in
the original. She was born story
teller, hereditary interpreter of fairy
lore to mortals. When she sang
of willow trees, of birds, of mys-
tica1 sorrows, the world came to
know of her, not as Princess. but as a
sweet singer called 'Sylva Carmen"
Now, long before this, when she was
quite girl at the court of Berlin, she
Lal made the acquaintance of Prince
Charles, of Roumania, in rather a ro-
mantle manner, for her foot slipped as
she was rushing down stairs, and 1.-The
gallant young Lieutenant caught her in
his arms and saved her'-sO says Mrs.
Mawer in the interesting sketch we
quote from The Womcn'S HOrJd-"from
an ugly fall" And now that young
Lieutenant is King of Roumania, and
Sylvia Carmen" is Queen. Poems,
tales, the libretto of an opera, "Neaja,"
performed with distin0' --Iccess in
Stockholm, and many works of art,
SuCn as Ddlnueu missiles LOT UIlS Cdlue-
dral, she gave to the world; but her
strongest hold on the hearts of the
Roumanian people dates from the Rus"
so-Turlzish war of 1878, when she de-
voted herself to the sick and wounded,
meeting each train as it came from the
front, and giving food and clothing and
nursing to the invalids on their arri-
val. These deeds earned for her poet
majesty the title of 'Muma Ranitilor"
the Mother of the Wounded and
at the coronation of their majesties,
when Roumania became a kingdom in
1881, we learn from this authority that
the words "Muma Ranitilor' were seen
in glittering letters over many a tri-
umphal arch, and at the end of the war
the officers of the Roumanian army Of
fered their Queen a statuette in silver,
where she is represented as giving cup
of drink to q wounded soldier.-M Y.

Log Cabin Logic.


Drawn anu Drain!
The powerful engine, with its wonderful
propelling power, coupled to the long train
full freighted with the richest fabrics of the
intellectual looms of the centuries what
obstacles can stay the progress of this
mighty force, when once under full steam
along life's highwayl
The American with Drawn and brain does
not see the necessity for titles of nobility,
does not care for elevation by descent, he
can reach out and pluck the stars.
But with Drawn or brain impaired, man
is badly handicapped in the mad race for
success which is the marked characteristic
of the present age.
The physical system is a most intricate
piece of machinery. 1t ought to be kept
well regulated, so that it will work har-
moniously in all its parts, then it is capable
of an immense amount of work.
1t is said that watch, if expected to keep
perfect time must be wound daily. 1t will
not keep good time unless it "runs regu-
lar" More men break down because they
don't "run regular" than for any other
reason.
1t is claimed by physicians that few men
are killed by hard work. 1t is to the irregu-
larities of modern social life that the high
death rate is due Men burn their candle
at both ends, then wonder why it burns out
so quickly.
The main thing in keeping the human ma
chine in good working order is to keep the
regulator all right. "1'he blood is the life,"
and sound health is assured so long as the
blood flows through the Veins limpid
stream Of purity.
Regulate the regulator with Warmers Log
Cabin sarsaparilla, the old fashioned blood
purifier, prepared after the best formula in
use by our ancestors in good old Log Cabin
days, and with the vigor of Drawn and brain
which must ensue, in your lfe's lexicon you
| will find no such word as fail.

Thc whale Robbed Of her Young

"What's in name 2" writes CDR
respondent at Scituote. ~ read in
the Journal OF the bark Essex having
been struck by floating object, sup
posed TO have been a whale, that the
bark shivered as ii she had struck
rock, part of her stern was carried
away and the vessel sprung leak,
etc. She was not SO unfortunate as
her namesake, the ship Essex of
Nantucket, Captain Pollard, in 1920.
The latter vessel succeeded in captur-
ing a young whale. Shortly after
whale of the largest class (probably
the dam of the one they had just
taken), struck the ship, knocking part
of the false keel off just abreast of the
main channels. The animal remained
alongside endeavoring to clasp the
ship within her jaws, but could not
accomplish it. She then turned,
went round the stern and came up
on the other side, and went away
ahead about quarter of a mile.
Then, suddenly turning. she came at
the ship with tremendous velocity,
head on.
"The vessel was going at the rate
OF five knots, bat such was the force
with which she struck the ship
(which was under the cat-head) that
the vessel had sternway at the rate
OF three or four knots. The conse-
ouence was that the sea rushed into
tae cabin windows, every man on
deck was knocked down, and, worse
than all, the bows we're completely
stove in. In few minutes the vessel
: filed and went on her beam ends.
The masts were cut away and vessel
righted. The upper deck was scuttled
and provisions were obtained, when
she was abandoned in mid-ocean. p

Dependent Pension Bill.

The House committee on invalid pen
sions, took final action upon the senate
bill known as the dependent pension bill.
Some verbal amendments were made to the
first section relating to the claims OF de-
pendent parents, but none OF them mate
rally changed the effect OF the section. A
substitute was adopted for the second
section which is the principal Sec
ton OF the bill. The su bsttute pro-
vides a pension for all persons who
have served in the military or naval ser.
vice of the United States for any period.
and who have been honorably discharged
and who are now or who may hereafter
be suffering from mental or physical
disa ability. not the result of their own vi.
cious habits, which totally disables them
from the performance OF manual labor at
the rate per month of cent for every days
war service. 1t further provides the same
pension for all persons who are 62 years
OF age, or who may hereafter become 62
years OF age for and during their natural
lives. Section 3 was amended so as to
provide that when the widow of any per-
son who had served in the war and been
honorably discharged. was in condition
OF dependence or is suffering from di stability
recognized by the general pension laws, orr is
62 years OF age, she shall be placed upon
the pension roll at the rate per month OF
1 cent for every days war service OF her
husband. The fourth section was amend.
ed so as to make the attorneys fees for
claims filed under the bill So instead OF
SO. The element OF dependency placed
in the Grand Army bill by the Senate was
eliminated, so that all soldiers are to be
pensioned for their services Iually with.
out regard to their financial condition and
according to their per diem idea. The
amendments were adopted by strict
party vote. The Republicans favored the
provisions OF the Senate; so that the
bill may be regarded as embodying the
Democratic policy in the matter OF pension
legislation.

A Wisconsin Scandal.

Papers have been received at Waukesha,
Wis, by the clerk OF the circuit court in
an action which promises sensational! de.
velopements. +. w. Reyes is the plaintiff
and the American Express company is de-
fendant. During the legislative sessions
OF 1885 and 1887 he was more or less ac-
tive as u member OF the third house.
AS such he appeared before the commit
tee on state affairs and the COM
mittee on railroads in opposition to bills
which aimed to increase the tax which the
state imposed on certain corporations.
Several members of the legislature made
repeated efforts to get through bills levy.
ing Il tax OF = per cent. upon the gross earn
ings OF express companies. Every such at
tempt failed. Reyes was given 81 900 for
his services and demands So, 900 more.
The answer OF the express company starts
off with an admission that it
employed the plaintiff in January
1885, Ito perform for it lobby
ing services to oppose the passage OF hos
tile legislation during the session OF that
year. and agreed to pay him what his SER
vices were reasonably worth, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to receive what his
services were worth, to wit, $500; that in
May. 1885, in Chicago, the company paid
to the plaintiff 81, 600, which was received
by him inifull satisfaction of his claim. The
answer further alleges that in January,
1886, the company employed the plaintiff
to perform for it services similar to those
which he had performed in the year 1885.
and agreed to pay him for such lobbying
services what they were reasonably worth.
The defendant denies, on information and
belief that the plaintiff performed the serv-
ices stipula ted for, and claims that he was
not, therefore. entitled to receive anything
from the company and, further, that the
services which the plaintiff claims to have
performed in the year SS7 were not worth
more than $500.

The Raging Waters.

The Mississippi river and its northern
tributaries are overfiowing their banks,
and carrying disaster to the inhabitants
Of the lower lands along their banks. At
St. Paul, the flats are overhowcd on both
sides OF the river, and many thousand OF
poor squatters have been driven from
their humble homes.
The Chippewa riveris over its banks and
is still rising There is a bad washout fiji
teen miles below Durand. All regular
trans are abandoned There is another
washout six miles north Of Durand. Work
trains transfer mail and passengers at that
point for Eau Claire.
The Willow river at Hudson has been
raising rapidly and is now at the highest
stage ever known. A portion of the bridge
has gone out at Burkhardt. Here the river
and Lake ST Criox are booming. and much
apprehension is feared from vast acres Of
floating ice. The Willow River mills and
other property are in danger OF being un-
dermined.
The river at La Crosse continues to rise
steadily and has reached the highest
point Of an early spring flood of which re-
cord has been kept. No further damage
has been done, except that the mills are
