Unrequfted Affection.

They are telling story on young
man In Detroit-it don't make any
difference who he is-which has some
how got into current gossip.
1t appears that during the past sum-
mer he put in a month at a lake re-
sort in the northwest and there fell
IN love with a girl who didn't believe
IN rec procity worth cent. His per-
slstence, however was in no wise
abated by a little thing like that. One
day the girl fell off the dock into the
lake and the young man being some
what of an athlete and a swimmer
jumped in and rescued her without
much difficulty. vr -
Now" he said, as she stood drip
ping on the dock, Il have saved your
life and you must marry me-
Marry you?'' she repeated in be-
wilderment. Must II"
Its as little as you could do" he
whispered, putting out his hand to
her.
She gave him one look as he stood
there all draggled and sloppy. and,
with a smothered shrek, she plunged
into the flood once more.
The next time she was rescued by a.
boy in a boat and the young man was
so mad that he sent a bill to her faith
er for new suit of clothes. The De-
trolt Free Press is authority for this.

The Most Highly Priced of European
Decorations.
The ironclad knight has once more
made his omlnous appearance in the
streets Of Vienna. He only comes
forth at the funerals of members of
the order of Maria Theresa and rides
in front of the hearse with his superb
armor, the pennon on his lance and
his black charger shrouded in Grape
The corpse which necessltated his
rare public appearance was that of
the late Field Marshal Baron Won
Doepfner one of the distinguished
generals of the Austrian army. He
met his death by falling down the
elevator shaft of the house in which
he resided.
He received the Order Of Maria
Theresa for his magnificent gallantry
at the battle of Magenta against the
allied Franco-Italian army in 1859.
This order is probably the most highly
priced of all decorations in Europe,
for it is granted only in cases of alto
gether exceptional and extraordinary
bravery on the field of battle, while
to obtain the superior grades it is
necessary to have commanded in chief
a victorious army in conflict with
superior forces of the enemy. ~
There are only sixteen members of
the order left says the New York Re-
corder, fourteen of whom are generals

States. He was very fond Of finding
out things and the roundness of the

times he was incarcerated behind

once he came before a large number
of people in chains.
He fell in with King Ferdinand and

Columbus was nearly three months
crossing the ocean in three boats. He
set sail August 8. 1892, at O'Clock in
the morning, and the cyclopedia says
the first thing he did was to weigh
his anchor, though it never says why.
Then he sailed right ahead for three
days, when he broke his 1udder and
had to go to Africa to have it fixed,
which delayed him some and the crew
got mutinous, which he immediately
put stop to and set out again, this
time keeping it up until he reached
America, when he planted his flags

said they were sorry they had been

Of tho English Won an.
"A recent paper by Elizabeth Roberts
in the Chautauquan undertakes to ac-
count for the fresh. clear skin and fine
physique Of English women IN two
ways first. the English climate and
second, the way the average English
woman lives says the Chicago News.
The latter will be recognized as the
more adequate explanation. There
are portions of the United States, for
instance. where the climate lis not
perceptibly different, taken the year
around, from the English climate. In
many states along the sea coast there
is the same alienation Of fog and sun
shine, the same humidity and equable
temperature. And yet it would be
rash indeed to claim that even under
those climatic conditions the average
American woman's complexion is as
fresh as that OF her English sister.
AS has boon frequently pointed out
by writer's on English social customs,
it is the height of good form' for
gentlewomen to spend a considerable
portion OF each day in the open air.
The season of the year makes no diff
ference Walking. driving, even ten

PLANTATION of bright and clear complex
ions-fresh air and plenty of it.
Plants wither and flowers droop in
the overheated rooms of many of our
American mansions and it cannot be
considered strange that woman's
beauty should suffer from the same
abnormal cause. 1t is not so much
the rigorous American climate that
bleaches as it is the furnace-heated
atmosphere of living rooms that de-
stroys the freshness OF the complex.

Hon. Divorce Business Is Said to Have
Demoralizeef a Judge.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 3.-The State
continues to be much interested over Judge
Aikens' affairs. The ministers who asked
him to resign are preparing to hold another
meeting and to make public some of the
facts concerning the charges which have
been made against the Judge as to drunken
ness and debauchery. Said one minister
yesterday:
"Had the divorce colony kept away the
Judge would have been all right, but, with
their high ways of living, their champagne
and wine suppers, the Judge was ruined.
The Judge goes to pieces when he begins
drinking. and, being young man of vigor-
Gus intellect, he wants to run the earth
when he loads up on liquor. Why,
do you remember that little woman,
always dressed in black, Mrs. Peter
SNYDER, of New York, who was
out here for divorce? Well, she remarked
this to me just before she was leaving for
New York: IF Judge Aikens' hand must
be placed upon every woman's skirt before
she can get decree then I'll do without
decree Well, she never came back again,
and she is still the wife of Snyder"
A ma jority of the members of the Bar As
sociation are in sympathy with Judge
Aikens, and claim that war is being made
upon the Judge by the prohibitionists. for
political purposes.

What its Real Objects Archie Sums
Given by the Nation TO Sectarian and
DenominationaI SchooIs-How the Fig
ures Grow.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The officers of the
National League for the Protection of
American Institutions, the object of which
is to secure an amendment to the national
Constitution prohibiting the appropriation
of public money for sectarian or de-
nominational purposes, believes that
never has there been so great
and widespread an interest in this
subject as at present. Unusual efforts have
been made to strengthen the league and to
secure for it the backing of influential men
in all parts of the country. These efforts,
the General Secretary, the Rev. James NJ.
King said, have met with fattering success.
The league lays especial emphasis on the
encroachments upon the American idea of
the public school which appropriations of
the sort it seeks to prohibit it thinks are
likely to bring.
An important item in the appropriations
bv the national Government for educational
purposes is the amount given for education
of the Indians This is given for the sup
port of sectarian schools. and so comes
under the ban of the National League for
the Protection of American Institutions.
Investigation of the records of Congress
and the books of the Indian Office al WASH
ington has shown that more than one-half
of all the appropriations have been made
for Catholic institutions, and compari-
son of the amounts given to the
several denominations which have been
beneficiaries under the Government shows
that to this denomination the amount given
each wear has been increasing. In 1856 the
Catholic schools had S11S, 343 which is
little more than one-half of all the appro-
priations Of this nature. The Presbyter;an
Church was given $50, 995 and the Congre-
gationalists SIG, 121. The Society of Friends
was the recipient of 1880. to be ex-
pended in this way. Lincoln Institu-
tion received that year an appro-
priation of S33, 400 and Hampton Institute
500 040. In some years the sectarian
school at Martinsburg, Pa, and the Alaska
Training School have received appropria-
tions, though these have been dropped from
the roll for the last four years. The
amounts appropriated for 1892 for religious
bodies are as follows:

Chicago Commissioner Mccormick has
been passing the holidays in Paris, and will
return to England tomorrow.
In an interview to-day he said he did not
wonder at the lively interest taken bv the
Paris art world in the Chicago Fair, for the
painters and sculptors doubtless know that
English artists are straining every nerve to
make fine display. The English artists,
he said, mean to try to secure larger share
of American patronage now monopolized by
French artists.
