FRENCH THRONE PRETENDERS.
An Eccentric Dutch Family Claiming De-
scent From the Lost Dauphin.

An Eccentric Dutch Family Claiming De-
scent From the Lost Dauphin.
From the Galienani Messenger
That eccentric Dutch family hitherto known
by the surname Of Naundorf:, which claims di-
rect descent from Louis XVII, has once more
managed to bring itself into public notice
The Naundorffs base their pretentions on the
statement that the Dauphin, the son of Louis
XVI, escaped from the prison where he was
confined with the rest of his family, and died
subsequently in Holland in 1916.
Two Of his alleged grandsons have now
caused q stir by applying boldly to the civil
court at Maestricht for permission to take
and adopt the surname of De Bourbon.
They claim that on many occasions the
government of the Netherlands had recog-
nized the descendants of the alleged Dau-
phin as belonging to the.great family of De
Bourbon. One such instance is cited in the
case of the death certificate Of the refugee in
question, who is described on the registers of
the court of Delft as Charles Louis de Bour-
bon, duke of Normandy, Louis XVII, son of
King Louis XVI of France and Of his queen,
Marie Antoinette."
The son of this pretender, who was born in
Camberwell, London, in 1910, was described on
his birth certificate as ''Son of France" among
other names and titles. The Court of Macs
tricht without much difficulty, granted the APP
plication, and the members of this much
talked-of family will now live in undisputed pos
session OF the patronymic Of De Bourbon.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Some people never take books to the country
with them. They either feel no need for the
strength Of relaxation they might gain from
reading, or they rely upon chance for their
mental papulum. Few are the readers who
carry with them anything but the ightest Of
summer novels-books that can be thrown away
without regret when finished.
Perhaps it is too much to ask that any one
not student should expend much energy in
hot weather upon mental improvement Yet
il does seem as though something better might
be read than the merely ephemeral novelette,.
How many Of the rising generation are really
familiar with the novels Of Scott of Dickens,
of Thackeray, Of Cooper, Of George Eliot, Of
Miss Mulock, or with the charming long and
short stories by our own American authors?
There was . time when the heavy binding
desirable books to read in Q hammock, but the
English and American writer's in paper covers
does away with this objection. Good books, in
good type, on good paper, at price that prac-
tically puts them within the reach of every
one, are to be had on every hand.

ton the hammock book should no more be

A Badly Ripped Coat.

from the Kansas City Times.
There is a young married woman Of my &C.
quaintance whose first wifely experience with
the needle has resulted in q capital joke on her.
She found what appeared to be two immense
rips on the inside OF the tails of her husbands

carefully sewed them up. When the young
man came home to lunch his wife met him.

The Illinois Bridegroom on His Wedding
Tour and q Year Later.
From the Chicago Herald.
Less than a year ago a young man from the
southern part of the state hurriedly registered
at the Richelieu and arranged for apartments
for himself and wife.
'Is your wife here?" asked Clerk Drummond.
"Look out of the window and you will see
Q vision Of loneliness in that cab. / told her

commodations we could get here. Amt she
nice! Well, guess yes. She is the prettiest,
sweetest, brayest, kindest, purest, cleverest
girl in all Illinois. Can you see her big blue
eyes9 They are two little bits from the blue
heavens"
''she is a picture replied the cold-hearted
clerk, as he gave the newly welded couple
rooms that cost So a day. The visitors were
soon ensconced in their temporary home, and
naught but sunshine could they see. Every
day the young man would tell Mr.. Drum
mond about the angelic disposition
OF his wife. They were SO happy and
earnest that the clerk swore that he would get
married himself. When the guests left the
ltlchelieu for their home Mr.. Drummond
told the young fellow that he had proved be-
yond the shadow of doubt that marriage was
Dig success. and that the happy couple had
settled his fate.
Speaking of the matter later, Mr.. Drummond
said: Its funny how little events will decide
ones career. L had no thoughts of leaving the
bachelors until saw a couple perfectly happy"
So the clerk kept keen lookout Last even
ing an Indifferent. looking man, with ragged
whiskers and weli-worn clothes came into the

Drummond.

How to Be Healthy and Hairy.

From the London Globe.
A new prophet has arisen-also from Russia-
who bids fair to emancipate humanity from the
tyranny Of Tolstoi the terrible. His claims to
attention are all the more imperative from the
fact that he guarantees his followers exemption
from two OF the greatest Affections to which
fashionable flesh is heir-dyspepsia and bald
ness. The name Of the prophet is khorf, and
he bears his credentials writ large on his person
Though he has already passed the span allotted
to humanity by the Psalmist, he is as agile as
young opossum and as well matched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave, live in
the open air as much as possible. and wear as
little clothes as you can-these are the cardinal
doctrines OF hygiene according to khorf. So
shall you become healthy, happy and hairy; for
In the view of the new prophet the natural con-
dition OF the human being is to be all hairy
like Esau. and all downey like Stanley's pigmies
Above all, you must walk rhythmically," for
DR. khorf maintains that we digest with our
legs and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
mineral waters and theaters are all taboo In
the khorfian system. Personally, he never
wears hat, and takes his meals in the open
air. No doubt if this hirsute sage's mode of
life were compulsorily enforced on the entire
population we should all be speaking Simian in
q couple of generations. If ever there is a
car or an emperor who is an ardent Darwinian
the temptation to try the experiment will prob
ably prove irresistible

Prince Victor Napoleon.

From the London Daily News.
Col. Villot, Victorian, has timed the publ
cation of work entitled ''The Emperor of To-
morrow" to coincide with the departure from
Paris for England of the Empress Eugene and
Prince Louis. The coming emperor is, of
course, Prince Victor. The book is rhetorical.
and indeed abounds in fustian, with here and
there a word picture, which is relief to any
one who has tried to wade through the food Of
verbiage. Col. Villot gives the following pen
and-ink portrait of Prince Victor:
Prince Victor will be twentv-nine years old
on July 10. He has the stature of his father.
Prince Napoleon, and he is superbly handsome.
His head is imposing. Roman strength and
French intellect are expressed in his counte-
nance. The contours are full and ample to-
ward the skull, but softened down in the lower
part Of the face. He is Enthusiastically the great
nephew Of the great Napoleon. The eve is
kindly, but Of q grave and firm expression. His
mien is also quiet and grave and his gait is slow
and indicative Of thoughtfulness He rarely
gesticulates, and when he does SO it is soberly
The neck is short and powerful and the
shoulders broad. His voice is clear, but he
speaks little. On the other hand, he meditates
q deal, keeps his head cool, seldom contradicts
any one. but is nevertheless of an unbendinR
will He is always studying socialist questions.
Their intricacy does not brighten him. He
is great believer in provincial particular
ism, and thinks that the provincial towns
have been unjustly treated since the revo-
luton. Prince Victor hates political rhetors,
but admits them to his councils and puts up
with being contradicted by them, listens to all
they have to say, taking care not to let any of
them know his mind. He favors the rights
Of the state as against the pretensions of the
church, but is otherwise . broad-minded, lib
erai and devout Catholic. Prince Victor has
had democratic instruction and knows that the
French democracy cannot do without order
and must be in obedience to the head of the
state. He is deeply humane and thinks that
enlightened kindness Is the best possible prin-
ciple for the sovereign to act on. He is q firm
