Our WouId-be ArIstocrats.

Thousands of American young men,
of fair education and excellent pos
sibilities, captivated by the pictures
of English aristocratic life drawn in
English novels, are learning to despise
the simple, rational, useful life of the
worthy American citizen, and to
court consideration and vulgar popu-
larity by adopting the habits, and
leading the useless lives, of English
lords. AS is usual in such cases the
copy Is a caricature of the original.
The untitled American lord proves
usually to be avulgar creature, having
to assert his self-conferred lordship
by all that is most unattractive,
most inhumane, and most un-Ameri-
can-and that is good deal-in the
English aristocrat. In England,
aristocracy has no need to display or
to obtrude itself; in America it can
exist only by display and obtrusion,
for this reason the American would-be
man must necessarily court attention
and try to strike the vulgar magma
ton by the mere accidentals of arts,
tocracy, such as any boorish Dives
can command-houses, horses, turn
outs, yachts, opera boxes, and the
like. And the vulgar are impressed
by such things, bow down in servile
reverence before them, and do theil
best to make a similar display

ROUGH ON THE OLD MAN.
BY Losing His Bet He Saved the
Life Of the Countess in the Story.


Anne Millet, the French sculptor
who died few weeks ago, was in the
habitue OF the Divan Lepelletier a
Bohemian Club in Paris frequented
by artists, authors, and newspaper
men. His best friend in the club was
Paul Duplessis, the novelist, who long
edited the feuilleton in the Patrie.
The two men had a standing engage
ment to meet at the club every even
ing shortly before dinner. One even
ing when Duplessis was late Millet
strobe impatiently up and down the
reception room, striking his hands
before and behind him, and eagerly
eyelng his watch every five minutes.
Finally Duplessis arrived forty-fve
minutes late, MiIlet sprang to him
and caught him by both shoulders.
"What's the NATTER" calculated
the novelist.
"A question:" answered MilIet.
"My father reads your serial novel in
Patrie with tremendous care and in
terest. Yesterday you left the Count
ess in a most critical position. She
had fallen into an ambush of those

must die She will be killed with
dagger thrust by the Corsican AS
siani
Millet dropped into a chair, struck
his fist on the table, and exclaimed
II have no luck-no luck at ALL"
''But what has tLat to do with my
Countess?" asked the novelist.
Everything My father bet with
me that the Countess would die. l
took his bet, because l thought you
would be obliged to rescue her from
her perilous position SO as to use her
in the rest of the story"
GLOW much did you bet?"
"Ten louis dor"
"The devil you did! That's too
much"
eyes, yes, too much, and I with all
my debts?" walled Millet. Cant you
help me?"
Duplessis reflected a minute, looked
at his watch, and said
at is 8 o'clock. The page on which
my story appears will go to press in
half an hour. If we hurry we may
reach the office in time to save the
Countess"
In an instant Millet was in the street
shouting for a cab, and Duplessis was
close behind him. Both men were
hatless. The cab came, they jumped
in, and drove off like mad to the office
of the Patrie. They arrived there at
the last minute The section OF the
novel prepared for the next day was
hastily withdrawn and a harmless
African story was showed into its
place. Duplessis work ed all night saw
ing the Countess, aad appeared on the
following afternoon at the Patrie
office with a revised edition Ct the
next chapters ofhis novel. The Count
ess had been saved, and with her Mil

Natures NerVine.

Dandelion is the coming nervine fol-
women. More than one experienced
physician tells of it's use in cases of
nervous depression and melancholy
almost suicidal. Hysteria with indi-
gestion is most successfully treated by
dandelion alone, using a strong de-
cotton of the roots. For school girls
growing green and black with over
study or bad circulation from any
cause, for excitable women and those
hysteric subjects who make theiE
friends lives 4 burden if NOT their
own, the simplest remedy is q cup Of
strong dandeTion coffee three times d
day. But 1t must be strong and
from the roots, fresh as possible, not
the dried stuff sold as dandelion,
which is half bread crumbs, and the
other half any age with the life roast
ed out. No officinal preparation COM
pares with the decotion of herbs and
roots fresh from the garden or well
kept at first hand. --Shirley Dare's

Origin Of the Game of Billiards.

The game of billiards was invented
about the middle of the sixteenth
century by a London pawnbroker
named William Kew In bad, stormy
weather, when trade was slack, this
pawnbroker was in the habit of tax
ing down the three balls of his sign,
and with a yard measure pushing
them about the center, "billiard"
fashion, into boxes fixed at the sides
In time the idea of a fenced table
with pockets suggested itself. A black
letter manuscript of 1850 contains
the following in reference to the game
and it's originator
MASTER Will Kew did make I'm
(one) board whereby a game was
played With three balls; and all the
young men were greatly recreated
thereat, chiefly the young clergymen
from St. Pawless; hence one of ye
strokes was named canon having
been by one of ye said clergymen in
vented. The game is now known by
We name of 'bill-yard,' because Will
liam, or Bill Kew, did first play it
with a yard measure. The stick used
is now called kue,' or kew, in memory
of Mr.. Kew, who has been dead some
time
1t is easy to understand how "bill-
yard" has been modernized into
"biIliard': the transformation of
"kew" into "cue" is equally apparent.

AN ENCHANTED PRINCESS.

/ found her deep in the forest.
The beeches and elms between,
A delicate amber plane tree
Mid masses OF bronze and green;
A sorrowful, spell-bound princess
Awaiting her lover there,
She said: He will know me surely,
BY the veil of my yellow hair"
'Heseeks me the wide world over,
He seeks me the whole year through,
TO loosen the charm that binds me
My prince, and my lover true!"
She shivered beneath her foliage
And sighed in the twilight chill;
Aye me! wilt thou find me never,
Thy love that thou seekest still?"
81 saw him, chirruped blackbird,
"He passed by this very spot;
He is come and gone, o Princess!
He passed-and he knew you not"
The cold wind rustled her branches
Till the yellow leaves fell slow
"He is dead and gone, o Princess!
Many year ago"
