PRINCESS AND PAuPER.

Strange vicfssitudes OF the Widow OF a
Roumaniah Prime Minister.
A Princess and the widow Of cele-
brated Prime Minister has just ex-
pired at Gratz, as an inmate of the
city almshouse. Twenty years ago
tho fame of Princess Marie Ghyka's
beauty extended from the shores Of the
Danube to the banks of the Seine
Napoleon III. was one of her most
fervent admirers, and there are doubt
less many Of those who took part in
sthe festivities at the Tuileries and at
St. Cloud during the closing years of
the Empire who will recall to mind the
grace and loneliness of the wife of the
Roumanian Premier.
A Tyrolese by birth. and of humble
parentage, she had first attracted the
Princes attention while acting as
governess to. the children 81 wealthy
nobleman at Bucharest. Finding chat
as In the case Of the Empress Eugene,
"the only road to her heart led through
the chapel" he married her, much to
the Indignation of his relatives. The
latter obtained their revenge IN
1872. when the Prince died very
suddenly and unexpectedly, leav-
ing his affairs in the most terrible
confusion. By dint of an immense
amount of bribery and of political in
fluence the unfortunate widow was de-
prived Of any participation or benefit
in her husbands estate. Finding her
sell. penniless, she in moment Of
recklessness and despair forgot what
was due to her rank and station, and
gave way to the temptation which her
beauty caused to be held out to her
from every side. She lived in turn
with several Of the best known men,
bers of the Austrian "jeunesse doree. !"
Dissipation and increasing years
caused her charms to fade, and a
couple of years ago she was found
starving in a tenement house of the
suburbs here A small sum of money
was collected in her behalf and aroom
secured for her in the almshouse at
Gratz, whore she has just expired.
Among those who laTished their
wealth on her, and who ruined them
selves for her sake<while her beauty
still lasted-was an italian named
Morelli, who was stated at the time
here to haye acquired in New York the
fortune which he spent on her.

A SUBMARINE BRIDGE.
The Novel Proposal Made by Well
- known Swedish Engineer

The Novel Proposal Made by Well
known Swedish Engineer.
A proposal recently brought for
ward by Herr Rudolf Elljeqvist,
Swedish engineer, for effecting perma-
-nent railway communication between
Sweden and Copenhagen, merits some
notice, as Introducing new mode
never as yet, however. put to the test
of actual experimental carrying q
limo beneath the sea.
The distance between Etsinore and
Helsingborg is about two and half
miles; and the passage is frequently
blocked in winter by ice, preventing
navigation. The cost of an ordinary
bridge, which would OF necessity have
to be carried sufficiently high above
sea-level to offer no impeachment to
vessels, would be prohibitive in
country but sparsely populated and OF
limited financial resources; whilst the
additional strength requisite in the
piers to withstand damage to the
structure from the floating blocks OF
ice would add very materially to the
estimates.
The proposal put forward is to con-
struct an ordinary girder bridge of one
hundred feet spans, and sink it to such
depth that ample room is left for yes--
sells Of the greatest draught to sail
over it; the bridge being encased in
ey lindrical tubes, which exclude
the water; the outer skin OF
the tube being of iron, that
inside of steel. the space between
being filled with concrete. The tubes
@inclosing the bridge are to be carried
on ordinary caisson piers filed with
concrete and spaced one hundred feet
apart. pontoons similar to those SO
successfully employed in the construc-
ton of the Tay bridge being adopted
for founding.
The bridge, which is to carry a
single line of railway, with foundation
and encasing tubes, but exclusive of
the land approaches is estimated@tos
cost about three-quarters of a million
sterling.
The scheme may be described as an
ingenious compromise between an Or.
binary bridge and a tunnel; and it il
claimed that it combines the advan.
tages of each. whilst avoiding the at
tendant drawbacks of construction,
and heavy outlay involved in the ex-
ecution of either in this particular
case.
The general idea, 1t may be added,
is not altogether novel. and has pre-
viously been mooted; indeed. some
years back similar method of passing
under the Thames was proposed and
commenced, some lengths OF the en-
casing tube being actually put in hand.
The project, however, was abandoned.
owing, it is understood. to financial
difficulties, and has never boon resus-
citated. Chambers journal.

COLTS AND CALVES.
some of tho Advantages of Having Thorn
Come In the Fall.

Como In the Fall.
For growing stock grass is recog-
nized as one of the cheapest and best
of feeds. Not that it is in all cases a
complete food. but during the growing
season it can be used to good advan-
tage as principal food. And in the
management OF the farm stock it is
quite an item to get the largest
amount OF benefit from the grass,
either by pasturing or soiling.
Calves and colts, in the first few
months of their existence, must de-
pend almost, If not wholly, upon milk.
1t matters little during this time
to them, at least, whether their dams
are pastured upon grass or fed hay
and grain in the stable, provided the
quantity and quality are such as to
enable hem=to=fnrnish a full supply
OF milk. But when they are ready to
Ewean then it becomes question of
considerable interest, as they will
grow and develop, usually, in proper
ton to the quality and quantity of the
food supplied.
One OF the principal advantages in
having the colts and calves come in
the fall rather than in the spring is
that, by the time they are sSready to
wean in the spring, the grass will have
made a sufficient growth to furnish
considerable food, and they will be
able To make their first six months
growth, after weaving. upon grass
rather than upon dry hay or fodder
and grain. In counting the cost
of preparing an animal for
market, the period Of weaving
is usually considered the proper time
for beginning the account and in a
majority OF cases it will lessen the
cost considerably II grass can be made
the principal food for the first six
months With the cows another item
can be added Whether marketed as
milk or made into butter the milk is
of more value during the winter than
in the summer; and, after calving. the
COWS will give the largest quantity OF
milk, at least for five to six months,
and this can be secured with little. /.
my more expense. during the winter
than in the summer.
So far as possible all the stock on
the farm should be kept in good
thrifty condition, and il this is done
the cost Of feeding is but little, II any,
more during the winter, whether a
large or a small quantity Of milk is

were bloody finger-marks on the white

Biddy had gallantly shown fight. In

Damien have recently called the pain
full attention OF the whole civilized
world TO the horrible disease Of leprosys
and now the subject is presented anew.
but In scientific light by DIR. Prince
A. Morrow. in an address before the
Academy OF Medicine Of this city. CIV
ing the results OF his observations IN
Mexico and the Sandwich Islands
Leprosy Is commonly looked on AZ Of
historical interest almost wholly or, at
least as disease practically extinct 50
far as civilized countries are concerned
and yet 1t is still q living reality in one
fourth Of the globe, including this ceusa-
try. in which it is slowly gaining ground.
During the last winter DR.. Morrow Wis.
tied two leprous centers in the Ieche
river district OF Louisiana, at St Mar
tinssiife and ut Bayoaz safoarehes and
learned OF the existence OF scattering
cases along the line OF the Southern
Pacific railroad. He also saw cases in
the San Pablo hospital OF Mexico
and in the streets of the city. There
were six in the pesthouses OF San Fran
cisco, and he received reports OF twen-
ty in all in California In the Sand
wich islands. though leprosy is Of COM
paratively recent introduction only,
there are l, 100 lepers at Malokai.
The slow spread of the disease in the
Sandwich Islands is referred to by DR..
Morrow as a warning for this country.
For twenty years after the first case
was identified leprosy- did not increase
fast enough to attract the attention OF
the health authorities, and when at last
they began to understand the peril the
horrible malady had gained such head
way that they found it impossible to
arrest its progress even by the most
rigid system of segregation; and since
then it has continued to spread until
now it threatens the ultimate extinc-
ton of the Hawaiian race.
The introduction of leprosy into our
own country is traced by Dir Morrow
to four separate and distinct sources.
1t was carried into Louisiana by the
Acadians, into the Northwestern States
by Scandinavians, along the Pacific
coast by Cinnamon. and emigrants from
the West. Indies brought it to the south
ern Atlantic coast Forty-two cases
were recently reported at New Orleans
and one hupdred atKey West, while nu=
merous other concealed cases are sus-
pected as existing in different parts of
the Union. DR.. Morrow therefore re-
CARDS the extensive spread of leprosy
in this country as Il possibility strong
enough to require the adoption of leg
islative measures for the isolation Of
every leper and to prevent the immi-
grafton from foreign countries Of those
who have in their systems the seeds of
the frightful and so Tar incurabIe NAL
ady..
Contrary to the opinion Of many for
eign physicians of eminence he main
tains, from his personal observation of
leprosy in the Sandwich Islands. that
there is 1.-THE most abundant and con-
elusive proof OF its eminent contagious
