A native bride in Hindostan is
loaded with all the jewelry she can
get. She has girdle at the waist,
numerous rings, anklets, bracelets
and bells, and decorations for the
hair. Although she has never seen

sits beside him on the day of the
ceremony. The priest takes corner
of the brides veil and ties it to the
groom's shawl, and they are married.

The general impression in regard to Eu-
ropean counts is that they are a set OF
worthless fellows, bent on marrying ricn
young women as q business TRANSACTION
counts, however, are not of the quality de-
scribed. The suicide of Count Rudolph
Palffy, near Railway, \. j., on MONDAY
last, has brought out a story showing tna1
even counts are capable of disinterested
love and honorable matrimony. Count Ru-
dolph, it appears, was member OF the
d Erdoed. He fell in love with a pretty
Swiss girl whose social station was not
equal to his own; According to the rule
prevalent among European princely fami-
lies, he should have regarded his love af-
fair merely passing adventure. and

bleman and a wearer of one of the most
ancient titles in Europe. He. actually asked
the girl to become his wife, and she con-

OF course. there was storm. The idea
Of honest marriage to an honest woman
without wealth or noble pedigree was con-
trary to all the traditions of Hungarian
high life. The Count had deliberately
reer. His family might have ignored the
pedigree, perhaps, If the wife had only
brought sufficient dowry; but to marry a
poor woman without title was something
they could not forgive. Had the Count not
heard they probably asked, of rich Ameri-
cans willing to exchange their daughters
crest? Had he not heard of Colonna and
Hatzfeldt and other noblemen with tall
titles and fattened purses who had netted
fortunes by American marriages? But the
young Count was deaf to every appeal. He
adhered to his wife, threw up his commits

So far Count Rudolph had given an ex-
cellent example to his kinsmen at home,
dancing attendance on court and playing at
military maneuvers. But at length the
nobleman broke down under the test of or
binary hard work for a living. He killed
himself but to his credit be it said, his final
utterance was an expression of love forshis
herent nobility of Character He proved
that a count could marry for love, and for
love alone; but he failed to bear up under
the burden of supporting a wife. For this
weakness, grave as it was, there is some
extenuation, in view of the limitations Of his

with whip, tugged at the reins and yelled,

right along but the plan was a dismal
failure. Another insisted that If a plug of
mouth he would be all right, saying which
he thrust big piece OF navy twist between
the horses jaws. The stubborn beast shook
the dose from his mouth, and remained
immovable Meanwhile the crowd contin-
ued to grow. and every newcomer had a
plan Of his own for solving the problem
which by this time had effecruaily stopped
for two or three blocks i'll either direction.
The horse was apparently there to stay.
policemen who had been drawn to the
scene by the gathering crowd looked sheep
ish and puzzled. A lady who had watched
the scene from the window Of q neighboring
cafe finally turned to the gentleman ac-
companying her and said: Go and start
that horse. These men never can do it,
They don't understand. How shall you do
it? Simply take a halter, walk up to the
horse quietly and hitch II to his bit ling.
Take the other end IN your hand, speak
to the horse gently but firmly, and lead
him away The gentleman went out
and borrowed a hitching strap from a
hackman, and the crowd jeered him as he
approached the baking horse He at
tached the strap TO the bit ring as di-
rected, patted the animal kindly on the
neck and took the end of the halter in his
hand With q word of command, he started
to lead the way, and the horse followed as
promptly and obediently as if that were
exactly what he had been waiting fer all
the while! The crowd stood back in Won
derment and admiration. Some OF the SUI
perstit;ouS ones declared that the animal
had been hypnotized.
There is no trick about it," explained
the little woman, laughingly, to her
friends, as the gentleman rejoined the
party in the cafe with all those half

probably felt that he knew much as
they did. What he needed was neither
beating nor yelling. but the presence of
