NATALIE'S NARROW ESCAPE.

Career of the ex-Oueen of Servia Nearly
Cut Short by a Train.
The Marquise de Fontenoy states that
the romantic career of Queen Natalie of
Servia was well-nigh brought to a sensa
tional close the other day at Buda Pesth,
at the railroad station there. A large
deputation of ladies had come to greet
her as she alighted from the train which
had brought her from the Roumanian
castle of Sinai, where she had been
staying with King Charles and the
crown princess. Catching sight, on an
other platform, OF lady to whom she was
warmly attached size suddenly jumped
down upon the tracks, in order to cross
over. At that very moment q locOmO-
tive was running through the station at
high rate Of speed, and her
Servian majesty would have been
cut to pieces had not brake
man jumped to her assistance, seized
her in his arms I'd cast himself, with
her, to one sic With such force that
both he and she oiled over and over
on another track and out of harm S
way. How narrow was the escape may
| be gathered from the fact that Queen
| Natalie's dress was torn by the locOmo-
tive and that had it not been for the
/
ground by her rescuer she would in
evitably have been dragged under the
engine wheels. While it is impossible
not to feel pleased at the escape Of a
woman who has suffered SO much misery
and who is now commencing to find a
little more sunshine in her life, yet
from purely dramatic point Of view it
must be confessed that her death under
the wheels of locomotive would have
constituted an end in keeping with her
career. She commenced life as the
daughter Of an untitled Russian lieuten-
ant colonel and has been raised to the
position of queen, then driven into
exile, her child wrested from her by
the German police on the ground that
she was an improper person to be en-
trusted with his guardianship, deprived
of her royal rank, treated as an advent
uresS, and now once more restored to
royal rank and dignity with her bitter
est enemies again at her feet. Of the
numerous well-known persOnages who
have sacrificed rank, fortune and fam
lily for her sake, or rather for the sake of
her captivating beauty, it is unnecessary
to speak here, and it will suffice to
merely remind my readers of the case
of handsome Count "Rudi" kheven-
huller, who, after being the chief of
staff to Emperor Macmillan in Mexico,
became Austrian envoy at Belgrade,
where his infatuation for Queen Natalie
led to his removal and temporary
disgrace. He is Austrian minister at

TWILIGHT TOWN.

Beyond the shadows lies Twilight Town,
Where wee heads nod and lids shut down
Over black eyes, blue eyes, gray and broWn
And through gap in the city wall
Is q beautiful spot where sunbeams fall
And dance for aye, through tree-tops tall.
Hush, baby Soft and slow,
Soft and slow, let us so
Through the shadows to Twilight Town.
Soft as the wind through ripping wheat,
When the suns last rays and the shadows meet,
Sounds the patter of thousands OF little feet
Through the gap in the wall, on their dlmpled
knees,
The babies creep under the waving trees
On the grass Of the kingdom "Do-as-you-
please"
Hush, baby! Soft and slow,
Slow, slow, let us go
Through the gap in the wall of Twilight Town.
In Twilight Town all things are fair,
The music of waterfalls in the air.
And bright wings fitting here and there;
And through the wall is the Dream Hill, bright
With the thoughts that please the wee ones at
night,
Dancing in rings on cobwebs light.
Hush, dearie! Mother knows
Soft slow, baby goes
To fair Dream Hill i'll Twilight Town.

Fads About Australia.

In area Australia equals the United
States. According to the census of 1891,
Australasia contains 3,075,23 square
miles and a population Of 1901 $50.
This population is strongly British; es-
pecially is this true of the religious pro-
fession. The sects are all slips from
the English planting, the church of
England, the Presbyterians, the Meth
odists, the Baptists, the Congregation
alists. The Lutherans are an ex-
ception. OF the 2,698, 629 Protestants
more than half belong to the church of
England. This church is credited
with 1,4S5,066 or 39.1 per cent of the
entire religious profession of the ISL
ands. The Presbyterians come next
with 393, 1863; then the Methodists with

He Didn7S Fight.

Big jim Cartier, the famous Nevada
fighter, died the other day. The incl
dent revives Mark Twain's narrative of
his proves in "Roughing It." One
evening Cartier entered q restaurant
and unintentionally sat down on the hat
of a tall and athletic hot-blooded young
gentleman, who was with two or three
other equally hot-spirited companions
When Cartier realized what he had
done he apologized Strengthened the
hat out to the best of his ability and
gave his assurance on his honor as a
gentleman that it was not an intentional
affront, and in few modest
words endeavored to appease the
wrath of the young man, who
was in fact worthy citi-
zen, though trifie experienced. The
man with the broken hat insisted that
it was an outrage that could not be for
given, and, taking off his coat, chal-
lenged the stranger to combat. eff we
must fight we must, | suppose" said
Cartier, slowly, as if undecided what to
do. II don't like the idea, though for
/ don't believe the whole lot of you
would have any chance with me. Let
me show you something" Quietly sit
ting down at the big table he took hold
of it with his teeth and, bracing his
knees against the lower part of the Ia
BILE, raised it and its contents, a big din
ner for four, roast and all, and with his
horse load stood erect. When he put
the table to the floor without spilling q
drop from the well-filled glasses there
was an oppressive silence, which he
broke by saying: 81 have already apol-
ogized. Ny name is Cartier Let's all
axe drink" Nobody refused.

Building Private ChapeIs.

The Marquise de Fontenoy writes:
Now that SO many of the wealthy fami-
lies in this country, and especially in
and around New York, are beginning to
indulge in the LUXURY of private chapels
attached to their residences, | suppose
that we shall soon witness the Inaugural
ton of the European custom Of having
private chaplains attached to the house
hold in the same way that one has gov
ernesses and tutors. Of course this
practice in Europe is confined to the
aristocracy and only to those of great
wealth and prestige, and, curiously
enough, none of the nOuveauX riches
in the old world have as yet ven
tured to initiate the practice, though
why they should refrain just from this
when they have adopted every other
form of aristocratic luxury it is difficult
to understand A form of luxury it is,
in truth, since 1t implies the desire for
absence Of contact with the common
crowd even when engaged in worship
ing that Divinity before whom all men
are equal, notwithstanding the impress
sion to the contrary existing among the
reigning families of Europe, and which
found such characteristic expression
when the little dying French dauphin
remarked to his chaplain: 81 know
that the good God is my cousin and
cannot fail to treat me according to my
rank up there in the paradise of the
stars -

A Saffron CoIored Index

Of the condition of bilious stomach and
sluggish liver is the human countenance
Not only the skin, but the eyeballs, are
tinged with the yellow hue when the bile
gets into the blood. Besides this, sick head
aches ensue, the tongue becomes furred,
pains are felt in the liver and through the
right shoulder blade, and dizziness is expe-
rienced upon rising from a sitting or recum-
bent posture by the bilious invalid. For
these and other indications Of biliousness,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is sovereign
remedy. It is also efficacious in chills and
fever, dumb ague ague cake, inactivity of
the kidneys and bladder, rheumatism and
nervousness. 1t stimulates, restores diges-
ton and Sleep and tends greatly to miti-
gate the infirmities of age.

A KITE WITHOUT A TAIL.
Impossible Feat Readily Accomplished
by q Man from Java.

impossible Feat Readily Accomplished
by a Man from Java.
From the Java village yesterday aft
ernoon, says the Chicago Tribune, one
of the inhabitants let fly a kite which
foated up to the heavens and there
completely mystifed all the spectators.
In air it appeared to be an ordinary
kite, adorned with the usual dragons
and wild beasts of the Eastern coun-
tries. But it had no tail. Now, any
boy knows positively that no kite can
be flown without tail. Y ct this kite
did fly, and when in air it described the
most mysterious gyrations. 1t dashed
down a hundred feet and looked as if it
were going to plunge headforemost into
the ground, but always sailed up again
like a bird and ever keptits equilibrium.
When it was pulled from its dizzy
height by it's Javanese owner it was
found that the kite was nearly square
bamboo frame, covered with rice paper,
on which were the usual dragon figures.
The strings of the kite were tied in ex-
actly the same way that American boys
fasten them, and yet no American boy
could make that kite fly as the Javanese
did it.
''How do you do it ?' he was asked.
II do'no. [ just fly it ali the same as
L always do. Just make the kite the
same way always DONE"
And that was about all the explana-
ton that could be offered.

Coffee as a Brain Food.

An eminent medical authority, in a
recent number of the Boston Surgical
and Medical Journal. maintains that
coffee is real brain food, and has the
CAPACITY uaei of brain work. The WRITE writer
further says: "Opium stimulates the
imagination, alcohol lifts man up for a
moment to throw him into confusion
and irregularity of action, but caffeine
increases his power of reasoning, and
absolutely adds to his brainwork ca

What to See IN Chicago.

The problem, what to see in
Chicago, is one that will vex ev-
cry visitor. There is enough to
see to keep one busy six months.
Of course the great Worl1's Fair
will claim the larger part of ones
time, but the great city of Chica-
go is none the less wonderful.
Sixty years ago, the site of the
city was the haunt of wolves; fifty
years ago Chicago was a busy
country town. Twenty odd years
ago, when a city of $50, 1000 popu-
lat1on, it Vas nearly swept from
existence by the most awful fire
ever kindled. To-day it is the
home of over million and half
of people, and is one of the few
really great cities of the world.
No one will misc seeing Chica-
90, and none shonld fail to visit
that most wonderful scene. the
Panorama of the great Chicago
Fire, as it shows tr1thfully and
upon scale of grandeur never be-
fore attempte !, q magnificent
birds eye view Of the entire city,
while the great fire WAS at its
height.
Before the observers lie nearly
two square miles of smoking ru-
ins, five thousand blazing build
ings, and ten times as many ref
ugees trying to save themselves
from an awful death. No one
visiting the Worlds Fair can af-
ford to pass by this remarkable
Exhibition. It's location on Mich
igan Ave. near Madison street,
brings it within easy walking dis
tance of all the principal down
town hotels.
