Famous Betrothal Over Forty Years Ago.

A Famous Betrothal Over Forty Years Ago.
 "I wonder how many people know that Victoria the Good, as it has been suggested the queen of England shall be called, when she fell in love had to do the proposing for herselfr' said an Amer icanized Englishman the other morning.
 '1 was much interested in reading re- gently the account of her betrothal. It had always been expected that she and her cousin Albert would eventually make match of it. When they were both about IS years old he visited England, but did not make much impression on three years later he made up his mind to now or never game, and with his brother visited her at Windsor castle. Like more humble lovers, he was placed in rather embarrassing predicament by the non-arrival of his luggage, and was thus prevented from dining with her majesty on his first evening as her guest. For five days did Victoria study him, and then after first telling her adviser, Lord Melbourne, what she had decided to do, she sent for Albert, saying that she desired to see him particularly. One ac- count of the affair, certainly valuable for its brevity, reads as follows: What the queen told him was that she loved him with her whole heart, and that she de- sired to be his wife, She was accepted without hesitation, as any good looking sovereign of 20 might have hoped to have been, and so they were married. ."-Phila- delphia Press,

Her Nose Wasn't Plumb.

I have been making study of noses lately, and really it's astonishing to find how large proportion of the noses are twisted to one side or the other. Try to find the median line of persons face by tracing it from the tip of his nose and see how you come outl Many people who imagine that their noses are per fectly straight would find by a close in spection that those appendages gee o1 haw little-perhaps to their amusement and maybe to their chagrin.
 A Portland dentist tells a story to the point. Says he: ''After had fitted a set of false teeth to a lady, she exclaimed, eWhyl you haven't got the middle of the set in the middle of my facep
 ''I looked again, and thought had.
 "'But just look at my noser said she, The middle of the set certainly is moi in line with the middle of my nose

 "'Do you mean to tell me that my nose ain't straight?
 '' I think you will find that such is the case.'
 "'How much is your bill? I'll pay it and you can keep your old teethr
 ''She paid the bill, threw down th' set, and founced out, as angry as al angry woman could be. She went home her friends told her how foolish she was she lay awake all night, and the nex day came back, apologized, and had he work finished. Lewiston Journal

4 Cure for LeprosY.

A cure for leprosy has been found, says MT. Clifford, the last European to visit Father Damien. It is gurjun oil, the produce of a fir tree which grows plentifully in the Andaman Islands. "It was discovered by Dr. Dougan, and MT. Clifford was assured by Sir Donald Stewart, who was then governor of the islands, and who has sent me the official medical report, that every single case in the place was cured by it. The lepers were convicts, and it was therefore inn possible to enforce four hours a day of rubbing the ointment all over their bodies, and the taking of two small doses internally. In some of the cases the dis ease was of many years standing, and the state to which it had reduced its vic tins was indescribably dreadful, yet after eight months sufferers were able to run and to use heavy pickax, and every symptom of leprosy had disappeared. 5 Father Damien tried it, but too late.

The Weight of Individuals.

The average weight of a boy at birth is seven and that of a girl little more than six pounds. When they have at tained the full development of man or womanhood they should weigh twenty times as much as they did at birth. This would make mans average weight 140 and woman's about 125. The height of male at birth is foot inches and that of a female 1 foot 6 inches. Fully grown, a mans height should be about three and a half times greater than at birth, or 5 feet 9 inches, while a woman should be 5 feet inches. The weight of individuals who are fully developed and well formed, however, varies within ex- tremes, which are nearly as to 3, while their height varies within limits which at most are as 1 to 1-3. Taking 200 pounds as the maximum of mans weight and S5 as the minimum we would have the average of 14at pounds. Placing the maximum weight of woman at 1855 pounds and the minimum at 70 pounds, and we get an average of 127t pounds Philadelphia Record.

 In reply to the query, "Can chloro- form be used with safety on bees?" the editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture says
 ''Bees can be ecbloroformeds so that they will fall down on the bottom board, or stick to the combs, apparently dead. The idea is very old; but I believe that one after another who have tried it have de cided that they would much rather have live bees to manipulate than dead ones. Smoke is very much handler and cheap. CT, and at the same time accomplishes the purpose far better than chloroform.

WE invite attention to the views of Mir. o. T. Hayden, of Tempe, repro duced in another column from the News, of that place, upon the railroad situation. MT. Hayden visited Flor ence last Sunday and discussed the slbjecti with some of our prominent citizens and taxpayers and awakened quite lively interest in the scheme of north and south railroad His idea is the construction of road from Calabasas, down the Santa Cruz val ley to Tucson thence to Florence and across the mesa to Tempe to a con- nection with road to Flagstaff. There can be no question as to the value of such road to this valley. It would carry our surplus products to the tim Der and mining regions of the north ern portions of the Territory and, in return, bring us cheap lumber and coal. It would give to us the advan- ttages of competitive rates, for our proximity to the Southern Pacific renders an extortionate monopoly i'm possible. There are many good req sons why such road should be built and we hope, if MT. Hayden's move ment bears good fruits, all the other projected lines of road will meet with like encouragement, until Florence becomes an important railroad cen
 ter as well as the handsomest and most progressive ely of Arizona.

parted. Robert, Lal1gTe and Gisele ap- preached the cage. Presently the lion tanner joined them. He told Robert that he was ready to feed the lions and invited him into the cage.
 No, Robert, do not go," said Gisele. "I do not wish you to enter the cage. I asked you to do so only because wanted you to seem ready to expose yourself to any danger for my sake."
 Pardon me, Gisele, for not acceding to this new caprice of yours as to the frst," replied Robert. q have resolved to enter the cage and shall do so."
 Robert turned away from Gisele, and a moment afterward he and the lion tanner entered the cage. The lions, eight in number, moved hither and thither, ebedient to the command of their mas ter, but their large golden eyes showed their astomshnent at the presence oi this intruder who accompanied him.
 Gisele and Langle looked on in silence and in agony. Gisele, who was very pale, was only prevented from giving voice to her anguish by the fear oi ageyavating her lover's peril. Her eyes which were big with fright, were fixed on Robert. He, on the other hand, was quite calm, at least in appearance. Like Bidel, he was armed with bar of iror and a rawhide. He was thus doubly pre- pared to repel the lions if they came toe near him.
 Robert was in the cage about five min utes. Then he left it and rejoined Gisele who, radiant with joy, her hands ex tended, exclaimed:
 "Oh, Robert! how I admire yorI how
 Robert took one of Gisele's hands in his, and, interrupting her, said, in a calm voice:
 "Do not praise my exploit so much for the act which you applaud was per formed for my own sake rather thar yours. If I am brave, as now you evi dently think me, I confess that am no without fear that shall not always b. able to accede to your desires, and as i would pain me to cross so charming , woman, I renounce the honor of being your husband"
 As soon as they returned to the cottag the party started for Paris. When the, reached Gisele's home Robert bade he i good-by with profound bow.

The emotional life of the horse is re- markable. There are instances on rec ord where. the death of the horse has been traced directly to grief. One in stance is called to mind which occurred more than twenty years ago. A circus had been performing in the little town of Unionville, Pa., when one of the trained horses sprained one of his legs so that he could not travel He was taken to the hotel and put in box stall. The leg was bandaged and he was made as comfortable as possible. He ate his food and was apparently contented until about midnight, when the circus began moving out of town. Then he became restless and tramped and whined. As the caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he was being de- serted, and his anxiety and distress be- came pitiful. He would stand with his ears pricked ill an attitude of intense listening, and then as his ears caught the sounds of the retiring wagons he would rush, as best he could with his injured leg, from one side of the stall to the other, pushing at the door with his nose and making every effort to escape.
 The stableman, who was a stranger tc him, tried to soothe him, but to no pur' pose. He would not be comforted. Long after all sounds of the circus had ceased his agitation continued. The sweat poured from him in streams and he quiv cred in every part of his body. Finally the stableman went to the house, woke up the proprietor and told him he be lieved the horse would die if some of tho circus horses were not brought back tt keep him company. At about dayligh the proprietor mounted horse and rode after the circus. He overlook it ten O. twelve miles away, and the groom whc had charge of the injured horse returned with him. When they reached the stabl the horse was dead. The stableman sait that he remained for nearly an hour per fectly still and with every sense appar ently strained to the utmost tension ant then, without making a sign, fell anC died with scarcely a struggle.-Westerl Sportsman.

To Prevent Lamp Explosious.

Mix your petroleum carefully, and you need not fear an explosion. You have only to be cautious as to the amount of atmospheric air you blend with the ex- plosive vapor. Experiments made since the explosion of petroleum vessel in a French harbor show that a mixture of one part of petroleum vapor to five or less of air does not explode. With six parts of air the mixture is feebly ex- pIosive; with seven to twelve, violently so; with sixteen parts, feebly explosive, and with twenty parts of air is not likely to explode.
