a PRlNCELY HOST.
Tho DISTINGUISHED Hospitality Of Duke

Tho DISTINGUISHED Hospitality of Duke
Ludwig OF Bavaria.
One ii the most lovely Of Alpine health
resorts is Bed-Kreuta, hamlet of SONS
half dozen houses built by the side Of a
spring of mineral water. The charm of the
resort is not, however, due to its loneliness,
nor to it's healing waters, but to the fact
that it's landlord is Prince Ludwig Of Ia
y1ria, a courteous host who in his manage
ment Of the place combines a lucrative bust
ness with a rGost generous charity.
the Prince, the elder son OF Duke Max
iuilian aud the brother Of the Empress OF
Austria, surrendered 10 his younger brother.
Kari Theodor, all his rights as the head OF
the family, because he wished to marry q
lady of inferior social position, with WHOM
he had fallen in Love.
The marriage proved to be d happy one,
and to this day, though more than thirty
years have passed since they were united,
the Princes manner to his wife is more that
of lover than Of middle-aged married
man. They have no children, and live for
the greater part of the year ia a simple suite
Of apartments at Bad-kreuth, where, &C
cording to writer in the GornhW Magueiue,
she aiffuses brightness and happiness
around her, and he shows how a Prince may
earn an honest livelihood, and be ,the first,
not to receive, but to render aid
The whole Of the health resort belongs 10
the ducal family. The servants are theirs,
and the entire management Of the place is
under Prince Ludwig's superintendence.
He is his own butcher, brewer, dairyman
and baker.
During June, July and August Kreuth is
filled with Southern Germans who pay lib
orally for their rooms and board, and make
these months the Princes harvest-time.
During May and September the Prince re-
ceives no paying guests, but fills the house
with those he calls his friends" They
are those who are too proud to ask for char
ity, but need q little helr-oficers depend
ing upon their pay, university students,
poor professors, struggling literary men
aud artists.
Two or three hundred of these friends
are housed, fed and tended at the hotel, dur
ing May and September. as carefully as the
wealthiest guests, and that, too, without its
costing them one penny. If at the height
of the paying season room is left vacant,
some poor invalid is invited to occupy it, and
no one can tell from the manner OF the host
or his servants that the new arrival is not a
millionaire.
Prince Ludwig never forgets face or a
name, and has a pleasant word for every
one, whether paying guest or q" friend"
His manner is the same to all. the sympa.
thetic greeting of a courteous host and the
kindly greeting of we'll man.

Wow Hypnotic Phenomenon.

hi. Liegois contributes to the Revue dsi
Hyp,sotisnae an article describing new
hypnotic phenomenon in the field Of a s'neg-
alive hallucination. This term describes
state in which the suggestion that a GER
tain person, certain object in the field Of
vision, remains unseen, has been obeyed.
The state is explained as an humiliation Of
the perception as 1T reaches consciousness.
The impression is received but ignored
Having third party to suggest to one Of
his subjects that he will beinvisible to her,
it is found that she does not hear him, see
him, or feel the prick Of pin when he
holds the pin, reacting normally to all other
persons. If, however, NJ. Liegois calls out
impersonally: sCanlille feels thirsty,
Camille will drink a glass of water,n she
hears and obeys the commando; if similarly
told to stand at his side, she does so; and SO
on for every sense. While she does not
hear him, she none the less really can hear
him. There is a sort Of dual personality,
one-half of which obeys the negative sug-
gestion, while the other is automatically
regulated and obeys any suggestion not d.
rectly in conflict with a previous one The
further development of this study promises
interesting results.

WHY GIRLS CHEW GUM.

In spite of the manifold -warnings Uf ply

Ill the contemptuous aad sarcastic remarks
which are constantly appearing IN the
papers, gun1-chewlng in this country ls

Two-thirds of the girls, be they pretty or

,ween the teeth when they are sure Of

Gum-chewing is less disgusting than
Obacco-chewing.
And if it becomes a natural habit, as it
seems likely to do we may comfort our
selves that the gur1-chewiug American is
far preferable to the snuf-dipping Mexican.
Women are told over and over again: 20,
fyou could only see what the stuff is made
Of you wouldn't think of putting it in your
mouth"
And if cigarette-smokers could only see
what these little paper-incased articles are
made of they, too, would hesitate somewhat
before smoking them. Thus the woman
can give tit for tat and come out of the argu-
ment with flying colors.
And gun1-chewing is not us exclusively
confined to the female sex as is smoking to
the male, for many men use gum to help
still the craving for tobacco, thus jumping
from the fryng-pan into the fire, perhaps.
True, gay young women are lately becom-

deprive them Of it.!

naturally led to q discussion upon the

How CelluIoid Is Manufactured.

or use! ccllUloid, only few know what
it is composed of or how it is made. The
following is a description of the process
carried out in q factory near Paris for
the production Of ccliuiOid:
A roll of paper is slowly unwound, and
at the same time saturated with a mix
ture of five parts of sulphuric acid and
two parts of nitric acid, which falls upon
the paper in fine spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into proXylin
ing been expelled by pressure, the paper
is washed with plenty of water until all
traces of acid have been removed. 1t is
then reduced to a pulp, and passes on to
the bleaching trough.
Most of the water having been got rid
Of by means of strainer, the pulp is
mixed with from 20 to 40 per lent. of its
weight in camphor, and the mixture
thoroughly triturated under millstones.
The necessary coloring having been add
ed in the form of powder, a second mix
ing and grinding follows.
The finely divided pulp is then spread
out in thin layers on slabs, and from
twenty to twenty-five of these layers are
placed in hydraulic press, separated
from one another by some sheets of thick
blotting paper, and are subjected to
pressure of $50 atmosphercs, until ali
traces of moisture have been got rid Of.
Tho matter is then passed between rollers
heated to between 40 and $50 dcgs.

of elastic sheets.-The Inventor.

Hunting for His Wife.

Many of our people see gray haired
and bearded old gentleman walking
around the streets with sadness about
his countenance which, though, can only
be detected after close observation, for
as soon as he sees you a smile lights up
his countenance in token of recognition.
He is a German and a musician. and is
seen every night at the opera house
when there is an entertainment there
His name is Professor Ressler. He came
to this country some sixteen years ago
from Germany to make his home here,
leaving his wife behind until he could
get settled, when he would send for her.
Having secured the desired end, letter
was dispatched home telling his wife of
his success and bidding her to come.
1t is said that she sailed from her native
home with glad heart, in anticipa-
ton of meeting with her husband after
an absence of two years. Every vessel
that came over was eagerly looked after,
The newspapers were scanned for intelli-
gence of her arrival, but nothing could
be heard of her. The ship on which it is
said she sailed arrived in Baltimore and
the wife landed there. The professor
with joyous heart went there, but 10!
no trace of her could be found. and the
days, weeks and months until fourteen
years have passed without his knowing
of her whereabouts. From city to city
has he gone in the search. His head
was black then, now it is white, but
there is q tenderness in his face mixed
with sorrow, and Il cankering in his
heart, but he goes on and on, with the
hope Of finally meeting his long lost wife

To Treat Colds.

Wear woolen or silk underclothing
(wool is decidedly the better, as it is
porous), strong boots, rubbers always in
wet weather. In regard to cold curing,
nearly every one has his own treatment
A few suggestions, however, may not be
amiss. The ''Rightcap" treatment is
often successful. Another efticacious
remedy is hot onion cruel, and eat
ing a quantity of highly sailed food is
good. Glycerine, with cream or whisky,
viii relieve a paroxysm of coughing.
Another excellent remedy, on the first
symptoms of cold, is to take, on retiring,
four grains of Dover's powder and two
grains of quinine in pill form. If this is
not successful, repeat the dose next
night.
Failing, the next best thing is to con-

4 Kiss in the Dark.

Horace Vernet, the artist, was going
from Versailles to Paris by railway. In
the same compartment with him were
two ladies whom he had never seen be-
fore, but who were evidently acquainted
with him. They examined him infinitely
and commented freely on his martial
bearing, his hale old age, the style Of bis
dress, etc. They continued their annoy
anee until finally the painter determined
to put an end to the persecution. AS
the train passed through the tunnel of
st. Cloud the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet
raised the back Of his hand and kissed it
twice violently. On emerging from the
Obscurity he found that the ladies had
withdrawn their attention from him and

Experiments with the Cigarette.

Experiments with the Cigarette.
Science describes some experiments
made on the cigarette by Professor w.
L. Dudley, of Vanderbilt university, Us
follows:
The fact that cigarette smoking pro-
duces physiological effects differing in
some extent from those of the cigar led
him to make his experiments. The fire..
auently ascribed causes of the differences
that of the adulteration of cigarette to-
bacco with opium and other drugs, and
also the presence of arsenic in the paper
are for many reasons unsatisfactory
and insufficient 1t is true, no doubt,
that the tobacco in many of the less ex-
pensive brands is adulterated with cheap
drugs and artificial favors, and that in
the more expensive grades opium may be
used; but it is equally true that many

the question. There is q difference ia
the methods of smoking cigarette and
cigar or pipe.
In the two last mentioned the smoke
is simply drawn into the mouth and ex-
PEELED directly therefrom or through the
nose, while the experienced cigarette
smoker will inhale the smoke, that is,
draw it to greater or less extent into
the air passages, and in some cases to
the greatest depth of the lungs, and thus
the absorption of the carbonic oxide and
other gases will take place very rapidly,
causing more or less deoxidation of the
blood. and thereby impairing its power
to build up the wasting tissues of the
body. I. That carbonic oxide is the
most poisonous constituent of tobacco
smoke; 9. That more injury results from
cigarette than cigar or pipe smoking, be-
cause. as a rule, the smoke of the former
is inhaled; 3. That cigarette smoking
without inllaling is no more injurious
than pipe or cigar smoking; 4. That tho
smoke CT a cigar or pipe, if inhaled, is
as injurious as cigarette smoke inhaled;
5. That the smoke from a Turkish pipe,
if inhaled, is as injurious as that Of
cigarette inhaled.
