Love Romance of the late DOwager Empress
Augusta.

The Dowager Empress Augusta, of Ger
many, who died from iufluenza Tuesday of
last week, is said, says the State, to have
had thrilling love romance before she be-
came afianced to Emperor Frederick Viii
liam. A young French count met her at
W ein,ar when she was seventeen. They
danced and fell in love. Her maid and his
valet alone were aware of their trysts. The
maid, whether through carelessness or spite,
lost one of the letters entrusted to her, and
it was picked up by the Duchess. mother Of
Augusta, before the maid could recover it.
The letter was impassioned and burning.
The Duke aud Duchess, parents of the
young lady, were in rage. So high did
feeling rnn in the co-rt that the Ducal
Chamberlain challenged the Frenchmau to
duel, and the lover fell mortally wound
ed. AS he fell the Frenchman tore open
his tunic, and there, pressed against his
heart, was handkerchief belonging to the
| Princess. Toward it his hand feebly NOV
ed and he died at the moment be had seized
the lace aud was struggling to carry it to
his lips. The Duchess was SO affected by
| the incident that she silently placed the
handkerchief on the breast of the young
man as be lay in the coffin, and it was buri-
ed with him. His body was covered with
roses, strewn upon him by the devoted
Augusta, and she, from swoons and sobs,
became hysterical and almost crazed. For
weeks the Princess sobbed about the pal
ace, until her parents were convinced that
her sorrow must have some relief or she
would become insane. They suggested a
marriage with Prince William, of Prussia,
and the Princess gave her Indifferent con-
sent, careless and thoughtless what might
become of her. With William it was a
matter of equal unimportance, for he had
first been crossed in a love affair and he
was heartbroken as we'll There was no
misunderstanding between them on the
subject of their marriage. It was an affair
exclusively of the parents and Of an obedi-
ent but disconsolate youth and maiden.
During their lifetime the Emperor William
and the Empress Augusta maintained
toward each other the most perfect and
severe politeness. They we're friends, they
respected each other, but that was all
They were not lovers, aud they could not
tear from their hearts the memories of their
early love and their early disappointment.
The Empress always preferred French
books, ideas, dress, and sentiment, and it
was her favorite language.

Educating the Girls.

An eminent French writer has said.
when you educate boy you perhaps
educate man; but when you educate
girl you are laying the foundation
for the education of a family" He
might have added that to this end the
physical training was of equal import
ance with the mental.
In these days the subject of the
physical training of young men is occu-
pying much attention, and the discus
siOns are broad and full of Interest.
The fault is that the needs of both
sexes i'll this respect are not equally
considered.
An erect figure, an organism In which
the processe of life may 60 on with

vantages which fine physical adjust
ment gives to its possesSor-are as nee

the same reasons.

improvement sre things to be desired

as a result OF this training, shall be

Is for the Improvement OF the race, and

unless the two factors which constitute
the race share equally in whatever
tends to its greater perfection. There
fore, II In consequence of proper physi-
cal training men can do more work,

share of this improved condition women
also should be so trained that they can

race by experimenting instead of
thwarting the promise which has been
presuppOsed i'll the higher development

well after the ways of her own house
hold.
a clever woman is one who under

A clever woman is one whose ability
Is never unpleasantly felt by the rest of

THE HONEST OLD TOAD.

Oh, queer little chap is the honest old toad.
A funny old fellow Is he:
Lying under the stone by the side OF the road
Meath the shade Of the old willow tree,
He is dressed all in brown from his toe 10 his
crown,
Save his vest. that Is silver white.
He takes a long nap in the heat of the day,
And W. alks in the cool dewy night.
"'Raup, yaup," says the frog,
From his home in the bog,
But the toad he says never word:
He tries to be good, like the children who
should
Be seen, but never be beard.
When winter draws near, Mr.. -aad goes to bed
And he sleeps just sound as top
But when the Mayfowers follow soft April
showers.
He comes out with a skip, jump and hop;
He changes his dress only once, 1 confess
Every spring; and his old worn-out coat,
With trousers and waistcoat, he rolls in 4 ball,
And stuffs the whole thing down his
throat.
..k-rruk, k-rruk." says the frog,
From his home in the bog;
But the toad he saws never a word.
He tries TO be good, like the children who
should
Be seen. but never be heard

How Long Does a Dream Last2

The London Globe says that this In
teresting question has recently been
discussed i'll Germany, among others by
DIR. f. Scholz, who has given some
striking examples from his own expert
ence and observation. 1t Is not posi-
BILE 10 give definite answer; and prob
ably enough dreams vary very much in
point OF duration, just as they vary in
force and vivldness. At one time the
figures OF a dream. whether they emerge
from the horn or the ivory gate, are IS
real as In life; the sorrow is even more
intense, the happiness more realistic.
At another time they seem to live Only
in pale moonlight, and we watch the
scenes rather than participate in them.
1t Is very certain, however, that the
majority OF dreams are only Of momen-
tary duration. though extended occa-
sionslly TO tie length of minute.
In proof OF this, DR.. Schoiz tells the
following story from his experience:
After excessive bodily fatigue and a
day OF mental strain, of a not disagree
able kind, / betook myself to bed after
had wound up my watch and placed
it on the night-table. Then l lay down
beside a burning lamp. Soon L found
myself OH the high sea on board a well
known ship. / was again young, and
stood on the look out. heard the roar
of the water. and golden clouds foated
around me How long / 50 stood i did
not know, but il seemed a very long
time. Then the scene changed. l
was IN the country, and my long dead
parents came to greet me: they took me
TO church, where the loud organ sound
ed. i was delighted, but at the same
time wondered TO see my wife and chill
dren there The priest mounted the
pulpit and preached, but l could net
understand what he said for the sound
OF the organ, which continued to play.
l took my sen by the hand and with
him ascended the church tower-but
again the scene WAS changed. Instead
of icing near my son l stood near an
early-known but long dead otiicer-i
ought to explain that L was an army
surgeon during the manoeuyre5. / WAS
wondering why the major should look
SO young, when quite close in my ears
an unexpected cannon sounded. Ter
rihed, was hurrying off. when l woke
up and noticed that the supposed can
non shot had its cause in the opening
OF the bedroom door through some one
entering. 1t was as II l had lived
through an eternity in my dream, but
when l looked ut my watch l saw that
since l had fallen asleep not more than
one minute had elapsed-a much shorter
time than It takes TO relate the occi =
renee" DIR. Schulz has collected many
other examples of a similar kind.

CoNsTDEEABLE Interest attaches to

who has Just returned from the Ber

that t Is an important British naval

largest floating dry docks in the world,

selves in a position To reap the full
advantage of daily prices current This
evidently Is not the end, for it is
rumored that plans for an electric road
are already under consideration.

FIRE could not have invaded a

suited than from the burning of the
upper floors OF the Western Union
building in New York. AS it was

money could not replace, and there
was, besides, great amount OF costly
nttings required for the business of the
Western Jnion Company and the Asso-

is what fre-proof building becomes
when flames break out in its furniture,

burning construction Is, nevertheless,
desirable, because it helps to stay the
spread of flames, but it should not give
rise to a false sense of security. The
same precautions against fire are re.
quired in a building OF this kind rs in
