BATTENBERG'S WOES.


The Princes Lot Is Said to Be by
No Means Happy One.
London Truth.
What has become of Princess Beatrice?
Did Battenberg strike and was he
threatened? The other day l met re-
lative of his sister in-law the Countess
Alexander Won Hartenau (you see what
bad company l sometimes keep, who
told me that 1.-THE poor fellows lot is not
to be envied." The queen, on whose
favor he depends. being now seventy,
few about the court take the trouble to
be civil to him. Military men don't at all
relish being told off to "attend" the
royal highness. Though the queen is
eXacting of respect for him, she treats
him herself with curt dryneSs, and she
expects him.to be always hanging about
the Princess Beatrice, who since her
marriage keeps as close to her majesty
as her shadow, and is constantly getting
up entertainments for her royal mothers
delectation, which Prince B. thinks aw-
full boreS. lie would Infinitely prefer
friendly pipe and fiagon of beer and
war of words at a knipe to her tableauX
vivants, private theatricals and con-
certs. The concerts are the most dole
full things imaginable. The princess
performs on the piano and gets herself
accompanied by other instruments.
She is particularly fond of the violin,
and has always some firSt-rate violinist
to play with her. Prince B. used to
turn the leaves of her music-bOok when
they were freshly narrated, but he has
since allowed lady or geJleman in
waiting to do that honorable service.
and sits near the musicians seeming
to listen, but more often than not in a
brown study. 1t it were not for the
pleasures of memory these concerts
would be uncomfortable. The queen, who
loves music, is nearly always present
and sits by herself, with a dusky per-
sonal attendant standing behind her
chair. She, too, is wrapped up, and no
her bygone pleasures. Whenever she
makes sign to Prince B., he is on his
feet in an instant, walks over to her.,
and stands before her in an attitude of
submission. She would not put up with
any other. There never was a more
despotic sovereign IN the precincts of
her court than our constitutional mon
arch. and her mind is so full of the
belief in her prerogativeS, in all that
regards etiquette and the department of
her family and household, that her will
OverbearS every other. One feels that
it is imperious as fate. Prince B. never
attempts to dispute it until he gets be-
You'd its range. He then tries to make
new conditions and thus improve his
position. At Gratz he thoroughly en-
joyed himself. There was smoking,
beer-drlnking, capital music, in an I'M
affected way, guard-room talk with
Count Won Hartenau and Austrian
officers and no etiquette.

York Ledger. The May-day festival of
our English fOrefathers was Of immem-
oral antiquity, and although its sym
bolism was lost sight of, it bore inter-
esting testimony to the primeval recog-
milton of the promptings of spring.
If May were not pre-emlnently the
month of weddings, human beings would
disobey an all-pervasive impulse of the
world in which they live. They can no
more resist the incitatiOn to connubial
happiness that dawnS with the vernal
equinox than they can withstand the
sense of decay and depression that
seems inseparable from the short De-
cember days. 1t was profound physi-
illogical principle to which TennySon
gave felicitouS expression in "LockSley
HALL"
In the spring livelier iris changes on the
FURNISHED dove,
In the spring a young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love.
Tennyson is not, however, the only
poet who has been a close observer of
physiological phenomena, and who has
noticed how, in the heyday of vernal
expansion, the animal, as we'll as the
vegetable world, takes on new and
special beauty, and is fraught with sug-
gestions of nuptial bliss. The Greek
anthology is full of p3anS to the spring.
The singers also delighted to celebrate
the vernal period as the sweet rekindler
of sail genial impulses. In Dante, in
Petrarch. in Ariosto, in Clemen Marot
and Ronsard, and in old English ballads,
the benignant Witchery of spring is sig
nalized. All agree that in the vernal
season the heart of the young lover is
peculiarly susceptible, and that then
the lady of his dreams is clothed with
transcendent loveliness. 1t has often
been remarked, moreover, that in
novels. which. as Fielding said, are our
modern epics, marriage destined to
be happy is represented as solemnized
in spring, and, indeed, by preference,
in the merry month of May.
The pleasant season decked by nature
for wedding festivities is now at hand,
and who that has heart in his bosom
will not look on with gladness while the
jocund bells ring out, the orange bios
SONS eXhale their Intoxicating sweet
ness and the fruitful rice is scattered.

triumphs. 1t may be tug at the heart
strings to think even of paying $25 for
shadow hat with weird. fantastic or
chids of mauve and sunset pink on the
brlm, but the intelligent buyer gets
more than the hat-she gets a
novelty, a style of headgear that
Bonnet lane cannot duplicate to
save her crlnoline-crown or cram
ium; she gets beauty, too, which is
priceless. The modiste knows this and
uses neither suasion nor stratagem to
sell the hat, satisfied that the right
woman will come along before the roses
are in bloom. Therein lies the differ
ence between milliner and modiste
-one makes hats, the other harmony.
Better bunch OF thistle or spray of
roses with pair of ribbon velvet
strings and that subtle something called
becoming than "a Haunting spread OF
straw, ribbon bedeeked and flower-laden
that makes travelling showcase of the
head carrying it.

THE PUNCHEoN's THE THING.
It Takes the Place of the Waning

1t Takes the Place of the Waning
Tea.
The puncheOn is the new entertain
ment par excellence. The tea has had
it's day. Too many amateurs have gone
in for that sort of hospitality and made
it horror, because, having no spirit of
bonhomie, they bestowed on their
friends the unfriendly cup-luke-Warm
and weak as an emetic.
1t is too late in the day for the
lunches, and the forerunner of the
novel has devised the puncheon, which
is nothing more or less than a well
stiffened claret punch. The callers are
seated at small tables near the lecture
or reading table, and frozen orang-
cups placed before them filled wit h ice
cream. On the platter are fork and
straw.
The cream devoured, white-aproned
maid appears with a claret jug and
pourS into the orange rind as much of
the sweet, smart, stiff punch as it will
hold. The StrawiS inserted beneath the
delicate yellow handle, and the guest
leisurly sips the stuff, the taste
of the orange, the claret, liqueur,
champagne, cold soda, mint, fruit and
cucumber producing new and unde-
Unable flavor hitherto unknown OF i'm
agined. Five dollars will pay for a
puncheon to whole circle of Browning,
Ibsen, Ruskin or Delsarte. But it is
inSidiouS and as much to be dreaded as
bonbOn brandy peaches.

own Jaunty little hats from models seen
in the shop windows, and they don't have
their shoes made at all, but buy them
at the cheapest place they can find.
And those women are remarkably we'll
dressed and genteel-lool1ing individuals,
for they usually have that happy knack
of wearing their clothes we'll, which is
indeed gift of Divine Providence quite
as much as is voice like the great
diva'S.
Five hundred dollars will give a
woman of good taste and Judgment a
handsome dress each season, with its
requisite accompaniment of gloves, bon
nets and boots, and enable her to look
like lady born on all occasions if she
has the faculty of lending hand in the
fashioning of her cheaper gowns, re-
modelling the old ones, and directing
the less expensive mantua makers in
the construction of travelling and street
gowns. And such woman, despite
her reputation for extravag ance, could
give any man points on &c onomy that
would make his head swim.

SHE WAS A MASCOT.
Extraordinary Fortune of Mrs.
MilIais. Ex-WIfe of John Ruskin.

Mrs. Millais, wife of the famous art
ist, and eX-wife of John RusKin, is said
to be the happiest women in all France.
By the painter she is regarded as his
mascot, his luck having changed almost
Immediately after her divorce from the
art critic. Her husband is worth over
100000 and the model and inspiration
of his pictures lives like royal prin-
cess, followed by staff of ar tbs ticallv

every luxury that money and skill can
devise.
In face and figure she is still beauti-
full and her manners and accomplish
ments are most captivating. There are
oriental couches in all the apartments.
and so beautiful are her Greek dresses
and so graceful her poses that every one
is an artists study.

with such charming results. The front

the side, is of plain green cloth, but the
back part, and also the sleeves, are of
striped stiff. and there is just touch of
braiding in green and brown, on the
collar and over the tops of the sleeves.

The Sugar Naples Value.

The sugar maple economically is one
of the most valuable American trees.
The wood it produces is heavy and hard,
clOse-grained, tough and stroug. 1t has
surface which can be highly polished,
so that it is an excellent and much es-
teemed furniture wood, especially those
peculiar forms with twisted and con-
torted grain known as bird's-eye maple.
1t is from the wood of this tree that
American shoe-lasts are made, in pref
erenee to that of any other. and it is
used in the manufacture of hundreds of
other objects, great and small, from the
keel of boat to shoe-peg. The New
Highlander who wants to burn better
fuel than that afforded by the sugar
maple must use hickory. The Indians
knew the value of the sap of this tree,
and soon taught Europeans how to con-
vert it into sugar. The production Of
maple sugar was once far more i'm
portant industry comparatively than it
is now. although the crop is steadily in
creasing in bulk and in money valne.

the things she has done, or rather the
things She has refrained from doing,
entitle her to be classed among the
heroines of society, says the Herald of
Health. When she married the Duke
of Marlborough she was more
than plump. She filled out
every crease and wrinkle that
escaped her bodice maker; her breath
than the rustic of angels wings, and the
slightest exertion distressed her. She
consulted an adipose doctor, who, after
a careful diagnosis, pronounced her case
chronic. Then she was plain Mrs.
Hamersley, but very pretty woman,
predisposed to take up considerable
room in the world. This revelation hor-
rifed the pretty widow, who at once
offered superior financial inducement,
and pledged herself to carry out minute
ly whatever prescription he warranted
to relieve her. A bargain was closed,
and the treatment began at once, and
has been religiously adhered to ever
since. Here are some of the restric
tiOnS:
Not morsel of bread, cake, rolls or
pastry: no tea, coffee, chocolate or sweet
wine; no potatoes. peas. rice, carrots,
turnips, macaroni, cheese, butter, cream,
custard, jellies or sweets; not drop of
ice water; no warm baths; no flannel,
and only enough clothing to keep from
taking cold; no bed room heat; not a
drop of any liquid food at meals.
In place of bread she had fruit, a sec
ton Of apple or orange, some fresh
grapes, berries, cherries or stewed fruit
being used where ordinarily one Graves
bit of bred or swallow Of water. Her
diet was limited to two meals day,
breakfast at 10 and dinner at Z, with
the following bill Of fare to select from:
soft-boiled eggs, sea foods, toast, lettuce,
spinach. celery, crosses, fruits. She
had half gallon of hot water to
drink every day, with lemon
juice in it to take away the
flat taste. Cold water was denied
her, and ales, trappes, champagne and
claret strictly forbidden. She was even
forced to forgo the luxury of bathing in
water, in place Of which she had sponge
and vapor baths. Every few days she
took a fast, allowing the system to con-
sumo the adipose tissue. While no
limit was put upon the pleasure of driv-
ing or riding, she was asked to select
the toughest, rOckieSt roads, and to walk
from five to ten miles day in the open
air. This practice of self-denial the
Duchess OF Marlborough has persisted
in for the last two years, and to-day she
is perhaps the handsomest woman of
her age in New York society. She
weighs about 40 pounds, her eyes are
bright, her complexion is as clear and
smooth as a school girls. and she has
the carriage of cadet and the health of
a child of nature.
