Some Of the Maladies That Affect Royal
Families.
A quick, uneasy denial has been
made by authority in Vienna of re-
port that the Empress Elizabeth is i'll
and deranged. Similar reports con-
corning her husband. the Emperor
Francis Joseph, have also been denied.
But there is an impression that in
both cases the rumors are correct
The unfortunate pair have had
enough to deprive them of health,
and even of reason in the deplorable
death Of their son and heir, and in
the scandals of his life that were

ever, becoming SO common that some
thing more than a special cause for it

Chicago Parlor.

New and Elegant Decoration Of q Gorgeous
Chicago ParlOr.
House decorations in blaci, are some
thing new in this country, and it has
been left to Chicago artist to make
the first elaborate experiment in this
line. A south side parlor has been
filled with costly draperies and furni-
ture in which no trace of bright
tint appears. 1t is room of black
and gold.
The rich, heavy carpet is of dull yell
low and black woven in fantastic de-
sign. The frescoes of the wall are a
grotesque tracery Of black on a field
of gold, the deeper hue throwing the
softer shade in distant background.
The eighteen-inch frieze or border is
still darker. Its black arabesques are
fashioned after the famous designs
of the Alhambra Through all the
decorations. in fact, run the luxurious
style of ornamentation and the SOM
Der tone of the early Spanish artists.
The ceiling is lighter, but of the same
low, rich colors. The furniture is eb-
ony. upholstered in gold satin damask.
The mantel is of deliberately carved
Japanese teakwood. nearly black, and
the cabinet above is part of the gen.
eral design. Gold scarfs Topped about
the big, square mirror relieve the
somber carvings. An immense black
bear robe is spread before the dark
tinted tiles of the fireplace. The
picture-frames are of a gold-leaf open
work, the heavy dark tint behind them
bringing out every detail of the de-
sign, and making them look like bas-
reliefs.
The window draperies were made to
order and no duplicates are in exist
euce. The curtains are of 54-inch black
silk plush. with a fringe of gold and
heavy border embroidered in gold
bullion. They are looped and draped
over tassels that cost $40 apiece. The
portieres connecting with an adjoining
parlor are of gold with 9-inch black
borders. The borders are in turn re-
lieved by trailing vines of gold.
The divans and sofas. Louis XVI
chairs and gold ottomans are in har-
mony with the general tone and rich
ness. The gold in the decorations
saves them from q funereal air and
still answers the purpose of bringing
into clearest outline elaborate evening
toilets. The light colors thrown
against the black make the figures OF
the wearers stand out ike canoes.
The yellow makes the barren black
rich and sensuous. and through the
whole runs suggestion of ease an6
luxury. The room is a marvel.-Chi,

maniacs in the royal family Of
Belgium, and the list might easily be
extended Among the causes Of this
tendency to mental alienation in royal
lines intermarriage is prominent
This is cause either of imbecility or
madness. recognized by physiolo-
gists among people Of all ranka It is
more frequent in the royal rank be-
cause the number of parts allowed
by law or etiquette is limited; . Prince
of one crazy family has often wed .
Princess of another. and the chances of
transmitting feeble intellect to or
spring are thus continually aug
mented.
Physical maladies are also among
the results Of the frequent intermar-
riages in royal families. Scrofula,
which often affects the mind injurious
ly. is promoted by the conjugal union
of cousins or other relatives. and
nearly all the older reigning families
of Europe have scrofulous maladies,
developing sometimes in cancers,
lameness. consumption and other mall
aides. The healthiest royal families
are those of modern origin, like the
Swedish, which began in Bonaparte's
times, and the Bonapartes themselves.
who, though not Over-wise, are at
least not maniacs or invalids. But the
great Napoleon's son by his Austrian
wife was weak in body and mind. in
heriting some of the tendency that
has appeared among the Hapsburgs
of this time in Vienna. Had he lived
to be the father of children they would
probably have inherited that tendency
in an increased degree.
These are physiological points only.
but they show that the limited matri-
monial field for royalty leads to inn
pairment of body and mind. The
Princes brought up in luxury. idle
ness and selfish indulgence are apt to
become feeble Intellectually and
physically, and when one of them
succeeds to throne and has the
burden of State affairs thrown upon
him, he is not likely to be able to
endure the labor or to Withstand the
shocks to which he is as liable as
any humble man. Francis Joseph and
his wife were apparently as healthy
as most people, but the catastrophe
of Rudolph's death was crushing, and
there is no improbability in the re-
ports of their mental and physical
condition which are SO strenuously
denied. The poorest pair of peasants
among their subjects might have been
as much grieved by a similar afflic-
ton, but they could have borne it
more patiently and bravely. They
are not descended from long line of
intermarrying relatives; they have
had no notorious and shameful scam
dals in their family; they have not
been worried by State affairs and
heavy responsibilities, and they are of
sturdy stock that can endure the
heaviest blows of misfortune without
damage to their mental or bodily
health. Philadelphia Bulletin.

The sentiment seems 70 be growing that
IN the United STATES the time has arrived
when the poor chaps don't have NO

There ID some truth in It. The poor are

the gulf between riches and poverty con-
tinually grows more din1cult to cross. A.

keen business competition decreases the
chances for accumulating wealth by ordi-

Of dollars in advertising the Safe Cure.
His methods have been ingenious-some-
times, perhaps, open to criticism, but they
had purpose, which has been accomplished.
But mark! he never would have secured
four-fold return of the vast sums thus ex-
pended if the real merit Of the remedy had
not been fully proven to the millions of peo-
pie reached by his advertisements.
Ten years Of increasing success Of War

and pleasing advertising, by which the peo-
pie were made acquainted with the remedy.

that are old and threadbare. His hat
is invariably derby. and commonly

amusement, and must certainly be de-
ferred to as connOisseur in ive-cent
cigars. His financial transactions
almost always take the form of small
pool-buying on the result of profess
sional games of baseball. In fact, he
comes out very strongly when the
national game is in progress. and may
be seen hanging on the end of a horse
car in great numbers, with the usual
cigar in his mouth, upon those occa-
sions when championship contest is

A Pigeon Decides a Law Case.

From the Cleveland Leader
A novel decision was rendered by Justice
Miller in suit before him between John b.
Kirby and John Scott, each claiming the own
ership to a certain carrier pigeon, which was
brought into court in charge of an officer.
Justice Miller, in order to settle the ownership
beyond question, ordered the pigeon placed in
the hands of two disinterested persons, who
took it four miles south OF the city and re-
leased it. After it had started two chasers were
sent up by Kirby, and Scott followed suit by
releasing another pigeon. The pigeon in con-
troversy flew straight to the residence of Scott,
and according to the decision of Justice Miller
is now SCOTS nr0nnrty
