Yesterday l saw in the possession of q
gentleman here an elegant gold match
box that once belonged to Prince Maxi.
milan, who was shot in Mexico more
thar twenty years CO.. Just before he
was put to death he gave this box and
two watches to the soldiers who were de.
tailed to carry into execution the sen.
tence of death which had been passed
upon him. He told them that he gave
them these mementoes to show hat he
bore no i'll will towards them, as they
were only acting in obedience to orders.
Aim ut my hearth he said. They did
so, and in n moment he was a corpse.
The soldiers who were his executioners
appear to have had very little sentiment,
and were glad to sell the relics of the
prince for n good price.
They were bought by an American
travelling in Mexico and were brought to
Washington, where some time later they
were exposed for sale at Galt's jewelry
store. One of the watches, which was
beautiful and costly, was bought by the
Austrian minister then here. The match
box was picked up by a gentleman who
is a connoisscur in things with q history.
1t is of solid Mexican gold, deliberately
chased and ornamented with exquisite
armatory designs, among which are q
Cupid, heart, bow and arrow and altar.
1t is presumed to have been q gift to the

NJ. Topinard has been making a stats.
teal inquiry into the colors of the eyes
and hair in France, and from his $50, OOC
observations he deduces many interest
ing results. one of the most curious being
that where the race is formed from O
mixture of blondes and brunettes the
hereditary blonde coloring comes.out in
the eyes and the brunette element reap
pears in the hair. To this tendency prob
ably is to be attributed the rarity of a
combination Of light hair with dark eyes.
Several observers have asserted that the
Americas people, who are prominently

such a development must be owing to

David Jones was the first settler of
Baltimore, in 1852, and his name is borne
by a small stream that runs through the
city. In 1870 a town was laid out on the
west side of this stream, and called Balti-
more, in honor of Cecil, Lord Baltimore.
A town called Jamestown was laid out on
the east side in 1899, and this was united
with Baltimore in 1745, dropping its orig
inal name.

ELIZA ARoHARD CONNER, who is said to be the
most successful of the feminine journalists, in her
address before the National Woman's Suffrage As
ISOLATION at Washington, spoke of the ignorance of
intelligent women on political subjects, and drew
an illustration which nearly every woman may
quite consciously take home to herself. She said:
In our meetings at Sorosis, ladies used some
times to read papers when they were almost para
lyzed with a cold scare. Their bonnet strings
would tremble, their voices shake, and their knees
knock together with fright, Often they were wom-
en- of ripe intellectual attanments, distinguished
in literature the country over. Yet because of this
stage fright, they could do themselves no sort of
justice.

TWO PAPERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

Nor quite two cents copy is the price asked
for an eight-page weekly, known throughout this
and many other States as the only paper published
in Arkansas devoted to the interests of women.
Fifty-two copies for 81 seems an incredibly low
figure, and yet The WoMAN's CHRONICLE offers in
this issue something more-a premium-notf for the
largest number OF new subscribers, but to EACH
NEW subscriber for one year.
By special arrangements made with the proprie-
tors, the we'll known and popular paper, "TExAs
FARM AND RANCH" will be given to every new
subscriber for one year. Don't fail to read the
advertisement and send at once to the office Of

the sum of 81. Sample copies will be sent on re-

A stout elderly lady was hanging by strap, re-
garded with impertinent looks by an ungalant
dude, who sat sucking the head of his cane and
did not offer her seat. sudden lurch of the
car flung the lady upon him with great force.

youth, ''you've crushed my foot to jely!" otis

assembled my classes and began by asking
them such questions as these:
Gin what congressional district do you live?"
No answer.
elbow many congressional districts are there in
your state?" No answer.
Theh l said, 'Ladies, am not going to tell
you the answer to these questions. Find them out
for yourselves, and tell me at our next meeting.
Do as the Bible says-ask your husbands at
home"
Well, next week they came back, some Of them
with broad smile ON their faces and they said:
eve did ask our husbands, and they didn't
know any more about it than we did,"
They found out The answer in due time, however,
to these and many other questions. After they
had been drilled in organizing and conducting
meetings, we formed debating class. These were
some of the topics discussed: The Tarlff-What
shall be done with the alleged surplus in the United
States treasury-What are the best methods of en-
forcing temperance?
The views of some of the ladies were really
statesmanllke. They were almost to woman in
favor of protection and they all declared that
every lawful means should be used to pay the ma
tonal debt, like the good housekeepers they were.
They were walked up and set to thinking on sub
jects that will do them good to the end of their
days. And they were all glad they were walked
up. The women in these classes were by no means
exceptional They belonged to the ordinary type
of refined, fashionable society women. At the
close of our course we had banquets, with toasts
and dinner speeches. Some of those banquets
were as brilliant and charming affairs of the kind
as any l ever attended.
Now, ladies, when yougo to your homes, i'm
press on girls and women everywhere the need of
learning parliamentary usage and extempore
speaking. See that in girls schools there are
formed literary societies in which such instruction
is thoroughly given.
1t is my conviction that women are the natural
orators of the race. They have keener sympathies
and quicker ntuitions than men. They have
gift of language that not even our worst enemies
deny to the sex. But these are just the qualities
that 60 to make the orator. Therefore | say that
when women overcome their timidty-their cold
scare-they will develop power of eloquence un-
suspected now.

who would wish to bring up their children with
pure thoughts and shield them for season at
least from the knowledge Of the perfdy of life and
the vulgar sensations now so common to us, must
keep the daily papers from their reach. This
would seem to be impossible. In consequence we
have no more innocent youth; hence the social
purity reform, which urges parents to have
proper understanding with their children and in
struct them on certain subjects in such manner
as shall throw the light of purity upon what our
grandparents regarded as tabooed subjects in the
household.
Youth is progressive like everything else belong
ing to the age and greater tact is required in pa
rents to guide them away from the danger signal
without always pointing 1t out to them. In these
days there is such an effort made to produce some
thing funny, that wit borders more closely on vul-
CARLY than buffoonery, and one can attend an
acrobatic performance under canvas tent with
far more assurance of noffensive dialogue than on
the stage of many first-class theaters.
Among the modern books something bold and
startling-anything, provided it is new and re-
ceives popular acknowledgements to the author the
misnomer ''genus. If genius it is, indeed,
then the more shame to the writer, be he man or
women, if he drags the God-gven talent in the
dust.
The time was when ss'The Quick or the Dead''
would have been considered unsuitable reading for
the young What reflection upon womanhood,
that this story should have been the invention of
beautiful young girl, whose previous work had
spoken of unusual talent.
Julian Hawthorne, whose purity of thought and
appreciation of purity is too well known to have
the correctness of his IDEAS questioned, thus
speaks of this remarkable story:
''The innocence of ignorance is getting out of
date; our newspapers, alone, are enough to bring
that about; and the day is at hand when virgines
puerique will no longer be chiefly regarded by our
authors and publishers, not to speak of our public
opinion. The fact may be lamentable, but there
it is The editor of Lippincotts knows, and
everybody knows, that the large sale of 1.-The
Quick or the Dead?'' is due to the prevalent i'm
preston that it contains licentious passages. 1t is
this RIGHTEOUSNESS, real or imaginary, that has
given Miss Rives her present vogue, and put money
in the pockets of herself and her publishers. No
sane Judge of literature ever pretended that there
was particle of literary merit or even of origin
atty in Miss Rives work. Her success recalls
that of Phryne before the judges; she appeals,
not to the aesthetic or critical judgment, but to the
lust of the senses No doubt such an appeal has
its market value but it is not an elevated edify
ing one, and verify the caterers thereof have their
reward"

THERE is surplus of manageable princes in
Europe, and a dearth of princesses and there
appears to be some trouble in arranging suitable
alliances by the governmental marriage bureau of
the old world. A correspondent of the Post-Ds-
patch probably still young enough to fall in love
himself, feeingly describes the situation "Evi-
IDENTIFY he says, ''there is no lack Of young men
to marry in the royal families of Europe, but where
are they to look for wives? There are compare
lively few of the soveregns of Europe who have
daughters of a manageable age. The emperor of
Austria's youngest daughter, the Archduchess Va
lera, is SINGLE but she is in very delicate health,
and is afflicted with epilepsy. The reigning fami-
lies of Portugal and of Italy possess no daughters.
The little Spanish Infantas and the crown princess
of Holland are mere children The youngest and
only unmarried daughter of the Duke de Namours,
the Princess Blanche, may be considered out of the
question, as she is over 81. The Princess Mary
Of Hanover, sister to the Duke of Cumberland, is
nearly 40. Old maids are not common in royal
families and even when marriage is delayed, as
was the case with the Princess Elizabeth of Sake
Weimar, who did not marry until she was 80, an
alliance is generally arranged for the damse at
some period of her existence. 1t is a pity that all
these royal boys and girls cannot be brought to-
gether in some vast hotel on neutral territory there
to be left for the purpose of becoming acquainted
so that each young prince would have chance to
WOO and win the princess of his choice. But if
such an experiment were ever tried the result would
be confusion worse confounded; without
doubt. Catholics would make choice of Protest
ants, Bonapartes would WOO Bourbons, German
princes would fall in love with French princesses,
and the whole map of Europe would be in danger
of disntegration through the formation of entan-
CLING and undiplomatic alliances Under the
actual system the affections of young royal girl
are never consulted. 1t is scarcely possible that
they should be, since she is almost invariably
called upon to marry man whom she has never
seen. Yeti is great mistake for princess to
marry beneath her station, as is exempli6ed in the
union of the Princess Louise and the Marquis de
Lorne The inferiority of the husbands birth to
that Of his wife in that instance causes him to be
continually placed in false and humilating posi-
tons. Kings and princes make very bad husbands
as rule, but it is better for a royal maiden to put
up with the crosses and vagares of the bridegroom
of her own rank than to link herself with her social
inferior, who will be frequently mortified and
seldom exalted by the lofty station of his bride"
