AN AMERICAN COUNTESS.
The True Character of Much Abused
Madame Won Waldersee.

II is not little curious how readily the
newspapers unite in ascribing certain at
tributes to public persOnsges, for which net
the slightest foundation of fact can DO
cited, says Frank Lesltes Weekly This hap
pens 10 be the case regarding the Countess
Won Walderser, the estimable wife of the
new Chief of the German military staff,
and the successor Of Count Won Moltke
The Countess was originally Miss Mary
Lea, the daughter of a wealthy whole
sale grocer Of New York, who, on
dying, left his family fortune. When one
OF the daughters married German Baron,
the Ambassador Of the King of Wurtem-
berg in Paris, she sent for her sister Mary
TO ulive with her. Under the roof of the
Baronne Waechter the latter met the Prince
OF Schleswig- Holstein, who had been driven
into exile by the victorious Prussian-Aus-
trian army in 1864. The Prince called, saw
and was conquered 10y the attractive Amer
lean. Before Miss Mary would wed, how
ever, she insisted that the Prince should
resign his title, as she had no fancy for be-
ing bound by the stiff etiquette of German
court circles. He complied with her wish,
and was made a Count by the Emperor of
Austria. He was not destined, how
ever, to long enjoy either his new rank
or the society of his American BRIDE as
he died few mop tbs after marriage, while
travelling in Egypt The Countess then re-
turned TO her sisters home in Paris, and re-
manned there until she married Count Won
Waldersee. The latter was stationed for a
time in Hanover, and it was there that the
Countess acquired the reputation Of Lady
Bountiful, and ON her husbands departure
from the city was followed to the station by
crowds of weeping women and children,
whose homes she had frightened by her
charity. At Berlin she has filed the same
role. This, we arc assured on good authori
ty, Is the real Countess Won Waldersee,
whom any American may be proud to cali
his countrywoman.
But when we turn to the newspapers, we
are introduced to an altogether different
charac -er. The journalistic Countess, &C
cording to the correspondents, "a. court
'1ntrigante" who has ''salon,n where pol
itics are discussed and regulations are
made and unmade. The fact that the
Countess is related to the present Empress
through her first marriage is proof positive
TO the correspondents that she exercises an
undue influence over the Imperial pair. The
| truth Is Countess Won Waldersee is far
more Interested IN her charities than in the
| undercurrents Of German politics, and while
| In q position to exercise powerful infiu-
ence on the drift of affairs, all her tastes
and impulses keep her as far removed as
possible from playing the part that ire
sponsible scribblers seem to be so ready to
| assign her.

BAD PENMANSHIP.
A Vice Which, when Practiced by Doc
tors, May Do Much Harm.

A Vice Which, when Practiced by Doc
tors, May Do Much Harm.
The Medical Register (Philadelphia), under
the heading of "One of the Lost Arts"
takes the doctors to task for not writing
their prescriptions more Intelligibly. The
writer claims that the druggist is liable to,
and frequently does, make mistakes from
misinterpreting the writing, and that the
life of the patient Is imperiled by their
wretched chirography. The ordinary pre-.
scription is often as undecipherable as Egyp-
tan meroglyphics written upon papyrus Of
three thousand years ago, and what Is
worse, there does not seem to be any tend
ency toward Improvement; the modern be-
lief being that bad penmanship is an evil
dence of genus. The result is that the
patients do not get the medicines ordered
by the physician, or that which the physi-
clan suppOses he orders.
Some years ago the writer formed the
acquaintance of druggist who said that he
dld not pretend TO follow the prescriptions
sent him, because in many instances it
would be unsafe for the patient to take the
dose and frequently the chirography was
so miserable that it was impossible to make
out just what the doctor wanted. He was
consequently compelled to treat the ma
uents himself, although to all appearances
they were under the care of the regular
physician. This plan was adopted after due
elaboration and trial, the druggist finding
That when prescriptions were returned for
correction that was generally the end of the
business, the prescriptions being sent else
where. Let us call a halt upon this failing.
IS II IS due largely 10 sheer negligence:
and, when the writing becomes too burden.
some by reason Of lack Of time, ii would be
the part OF wisdom To- employ competent
plerk TOR the purpose. By this means it is
hoped that We may be able to revive. If not

Judge Nye inquired into the facts Of the
case, and found that the boy had reported
them truly. He sent for the district at
torney.
"This boy has been taught a lesson which
he will never forget" he said. "If he

But the attorney refused to do so, and de-
clared that he would do all he could TO con-

NATURAL-soAP MINES.
The Mineral Article Found In Nevada, pa-
kotsa aud wyoming.


The Mineral Article Found In Nevada. pa-
kota and Wyoming.
In Nevada are several deposits of min
eral soap, says the Territorial Enterprise
One of these has been worked for three or
four years. The SOAP is sometimes made
up into cakes as il comes from the mine, bat
usually it is toned down by admixture with
various other soaps. In Dakota and Wyo-
ming are also deposits of natural soap. In
regions where soda. borax and mineral oils
abound it is only necessary 20 bring these
ingredients together and a soap mine is the
result Hot springs assist very materially
In uniting and concentrating the materials
provided by nature. The soap found about
hot springs is, therefore. generally harder
and more perfect than that produced in the
dry way in and about tho basins of extinct
lakes. The waters of Owens and Mono
lakes are so thoroughly saturated with
borax and soda ia solution that the addition
of any oleaginous matter produces soap.
The waters of Mono lake produces myriads
of grubs chat after a time become aiesl,
which are washed ashore, and in some
places form beaches foot or two in depth.
The oily matter contained in the gruba or
flies uniting with the allEali In the water OF
the lake forms deposit OF soap an inch or
two In thickness each year. Thus in the
course OF ages deposit of natural soap of
great depth has been built up on the east
side of the alkali lakes where the worms are
stranded-the prevailing winds being from
the west. These peculiar grubs are the
only living thing found in the waters Of
Mono and Owen lakes. At certain seasons
