leave England for Amsterdam, where
she is TO undergo her annual course of
treatment by Doctor Metzger, Of that
city, writes a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph. Her physi-
clans are vainly trying to persuade her
to take up her residence in some clim-
ate less pernicious to her health than
that of England. But the poor lady
elings to the land that holds the tomb
of her husband and her son, and re-
fuses to harken to their injunotions.
Neither will she obey their behests so
far as to try to distract her mind by
any form of amusement. She. once
the brilliant leader of the gayest socie-
tv in the world, now leads the life Of
the strictest secluslon, never going
even to an opera or q concert, and
shrinking from the simplest forms of
social enjoyment During a recent
visit that she paid to the queen at
Windsor, the Princess Beatrice ar
ranged little surprise for her guest,
and after dinner one evening the COM
edy of "Lolotte" was given in French
on an improvised stage. The empress
sat out the performances, but the next
time she was invited to Windsor she
said imploringly to the princess: mo
more private thcatricals, dear friend, I
beg of YOU" 1t is hard to realize such
a change in her whose life used to be
one unceasing round of toilets and
festivals and gayety of all kinds, and
who set the fashion for the most ex-
travagant styles of dressing and enter
tanning that the world has known for a
century.

keep awake long enough to see the
morning star rise They talked as

smiling at his own poetic fancy. .
II would rather you were a comet, "
she said, dreamily.
His heart beat tumultuously.
''And whya" he asked, tenderly, at
the same time taking her unresisting
hands in his own. ''And whyp" he re-
peated, imperiously.
"O," she replied with a brooding
earnestness that fell on his soul like a
bare foot on a cold oil-cloth, "because
then you would only come around

halfway to the front gate, when he

IMPURITIES IN ICE.

Because ice locke clear is no evidence
that it is pure, or that the water from it
is fit to be drunk. 1t is true the coarse r
particles of eve- very offensive water
are generally fallen below the point
where the water turns into ice; but
foul water is constantly sending up bad
gases, and of these the ice is an ex-
cellsnt absorbent. Few people would
think of drinking the water from shallow
ponds fouled by cattle drinking from
them, which are the places where much
of the ice sold is cut. A running stream
gives better ice because the water comes
in it's more more rapid places in contact
with the air, and it's foul odor passes
off. But in such places ice does not
form except in very cold weather. Use
ice for cooling drinks by placing vessels
containing beverages on ice broken into
fine pieces; but do not put the ice in the
drink unless you are sure of its quality
and pureness.

GREASE YOUR SHOES.

Shoes that are worn regularly, if cared
for, will last much longer than if neglect
ed, As is too often the case. A French
kid shoe if carelessly cared for, will not
look as we'll Dor last as long as one OF an
inferior quality that is looked after prop
erly. When shoes are taken off they
should be thoroughly brushed. to re-
move all the dust that invariably collects
in the creases, smoolhed ont with the
hand and placed away in shoebag or
box away from the dust, and when
wanted for use they can be taken out
ready for wear. Where there ia not a
box or bay for this purpose closet is
the next best thing. Shoes will last
much longer if, when new, they are
rubbed with castor oil. Hold them in
front of fire and rub the oil well into
the leather. The oil makes the leather
pliable, fills up the pores, and prevents
it from cracking. Where boots are
worn every day once a fortnight is not
too often to oil them. At first the oil,
after standing will give them a gray
look, but when dressed it gives them a
nice soft finish.

thrifty tradesman can live AMI bring up

The Romance Of Handsome Cab.

A line of street cabs he's been estab-
lished in Trenton, N. j., and already
one of them has developed pretty
romance. The other evening a mer-
chant, tired out after hard days
jaunt in New York, walked up the in
cline at the Clinton street station and
got into one of the new cabs. As he
entered he saw that lady had taken
a seat and would evidently be fellow
traveller downtown. He politely raised
his hat, and the vehicle dashed down
Clinton avenue to State street. As
they turned the corner on the way to
the center of the city the electric light
flashed into the dark little compart-
ment, ard in a moment two eyes were
fixed ou two others on the opposite
side of the cab. The eyes had not met
for many q month, and one pair be-
longed to a husband and another to
his wife. The pair had parted, az
many people part, over slight diff
ficulty, and the unthought of meet
ing was the means of making happy
. home which had been dreary for
many day. At first neither spoke;
then hand was extended and grasped,
and as the cab crossed the canal bridge
the equilibrium of the vehicle was lost,
for both sat together and they alight-
ed together

Manageable young women are in
great demand in Queensland Australia.
The sexes in this colony are in the pro-
portion of 125 males to 88 females.
The towns, however, retain more than
their share of the fair sex, and In the
sugar-planting districts there is do
plorable dexrth of women. Nearly
all the land owners and large plant
ers are married, but most of the whites
in their employ are bachelors. and,
what is worse, many of the poor fell
lows haven't chance to change their
condition if they wish to. The result
is that whenever nice white girl goes
into the interior on the plantations she
has to get married in self protection or
else she is so pestered with attentions
as almost to drive her out of the coun-
try.
A remarkable case Of sudden and al
most unprecedented matrimony oc-
Cured on q plantation nesr Winton .
few weeks ago. A planter had been
to Rockhampton. and had there en-
gagged a strapping, good-looking girl
to assist his wife in her household
duties. After she had been in her
new home for several days she took
the washtub out of doors one morning
door the family washing. While hard
at work, with soapsuds up to her
elbows, along came a squattsr who
kept small Eecd of cattle in the
neighborhood. hs didn't intend to
lose this chance to make the acquaint-
ance of woman. So he sidled up to
the washtub and began to talk. and
it wasn't long before she was giving
him more than hait her attention.
After while the young man owned
up that it was a case of love At first
sight as far as he was concerned and
he popped the question without any
ado. The girl said she was willing II
her mistress would endorse him as
worthy young man. That lady thought
it would be good match and said so,
and quarter of an hour later the
brand new lovers, In their workday
clothes, were footing it three miles
away to the house Of magistrate,
where the knot was legally tied, in
short order. The bride finished her
washing in the afternoon and that
evening she transferred herself to the
home of the squatter, which she now
adorns, apparently as happy woman
as there is in Queensland.
A great many people do not like this
climate, for we are twenty degrees
nearer the equator than the residents
of New York. But those who do not
object to our superabundant sunshine,
which makes most of our days pretty
warm, though not unhealthful, are do
ing we'll; and any presentable young
woman who ventures into this colony
is apt to have her name changed al
most before she knows it.

An ELECTRIC LEAD. electric shoal

An ELECTRIC LEAD. An electric shoal
water indicator has been devised by two
Mexico inventors. Itconsis.s of strong
cylinder filed with shot, so that when
hung by cable from ship it will re-
main perfectly uplight in the water.
Embedded in its center is glass of vul-
canite tube half full of mercury, the two
ends being closed by metalicplates, which
are in communication, by insulated. wires
carried by the cable, with an electric
battery and bell on the deck of the ship.
The action OF the apparatus is as follows
When the vessl approaches shallow water
the cylinder drags on the ground below,
and is conseque ntly no longer upright
but is thrown on its side. This causes
the mercury in the tube to touch both
the metallic plates attached 10 that tube
as above explained; the electric Al circuit
thus becomes complete, aud the warning
bell on the ship instantly rings.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 14.-The body
of young railroad brakesman named
James Jenkings was found yesterday
morning on the railroad track in Water
Valley, Miss, with his throat cut from
ear to ear. A notorious dive keeper,
VIM. Harris, was srrested for the MUIR

held for the grand jury, the watch and
other property belonging to Jenkiugs,
and the bloody knife with which the deed
was done WAS found, in Harris saloon.
As Harris was being removed to Jail he
was taken from the officers by the mob,
but was retaken by the sheriff and his
deputies. Later, as Harris was being
taken out of town, he was again captur-
ed by the mob and was being strung up
to tree when Rev. Mr.. Hudson, Bap-
tist preacher, appeared upon the scene
and, after an impassioned appeal
by him for the prisoners life and the
due course of law, the crowd returned
Harris to the calaboose. Last night an
other mob attacked the Jail and forced
an entrance, but found that Harris bad
been sent to Coffeyville. At last ac-
counts it was said another mob would
go to Coffeyville and hang Harris.

would watch every motion of his master.
At last the doctors visits we're dropped,
but the dog continued them daily, and
would 20 to her door and if he found it
closed would whine to be let in. These
visits were looked for by the patient.
Her nurse would rel lse sometimes to

there just as his master had, and look at
her and whine as If trying to speak.
