The princess is at the impressionable
age of nineteen, and some time ago she
fell in love with a handsome young
lieutenant in the light cavalry. The
match was, of course, unacceptable to
the royal parents, and the lieutenant
was exiled to far-oM garrison and
forbidden to come to Munich, in the
hope that the princess would overcome
her passion and forget him. His alb
sence, however, had a contrary effect;
she fell i'll and pined, and Prince Leo

give his consent to the union of the
young lovers.

DEFINITIONS OF TITLES.

IHE praetor was a magistrate elect
ed for the purpose of administering.
justice when the consuls were absent
from Rome. There were two praetors,
one for the city and one for places at
a distance.
IsfPERAToH was originally a title of
honor bestowed on victorious gen
eral. After the downfall of the repub-
lie it became the title of the supreme
ruler, and had the sense Of our word
emperor.
THE only genuine sheil5h is the gov
ernor of Medina. lis office is said to
date from the time of the Prophet. 1t
is now generally applied as an hon
orary title to the head man of an Arab
village.
TIE title grand duke was Of nedi-
eval origin, icing first found in Mos
COW in the eleventh century. 1t frav-
eled to southern Europe in 1863, when
Plus V. bestowed it on Cosmo de
Medici.
LANDeRAyE is the only one of the
old Tcutonic titles that survives. 1t
was invented in 1880 by Louis of Thur
ingia, to distinguish himself from the
crowd of Grafs who filled the German
courts.

ereigns thc universal custom was to
give a list of the various countries
over which the monarch ruled, or was
supposed TO rule, and the relation he
bore TO each.

the Postponenent OF a Wedding.

1Ac 1tSQAidT h1tSIsthe OF IL SEXTON OauBeS
the Postponenent OF Wedding.
A few years ago ludicrous, albeit
vexatious, incident occurred at a church
in Larlshall A rustic couple, after
having had the bauns published tie
prescribed number OF times, proceeded
to the church to be joined in holy we'd
lock. The service was conducted with
out hitch until the officiating clergy
man arrived at that part where he
asked: William Wisher, wilt thon
have this woman to be thy welded
wife?" when the bridegroom replied
with some establishment that his name
was not William Wisher.
The ceremony was, of course, sus-
pended, and on investigation being
made as to the cause of the mistake it
transpired that the bridegroom had
written to tho sexton of the church re-
questing him to have the banns pub
lished, and concluded his letter thus:
so no more from your well wisher and
Mary Williams" The sexton, thinking
that William Wisher was the name
the intending benedict, published IL
banns accordingly, and the disappoint-
Cd couple We're compelled to await The
publication of the banns in their proper
names.
Some years ago middlcd-aged agri-
cultural laborer called upon the session
clerk of Alloa and asked him what the
charge was for publishing the cries
!. e., banns of marriage-three times on
the same Sunday. "a pound, replied
the clerk. Aye" said the other, ''an'
what dye talk when We talk two Sun
days to do't?" Half a guinea" was
the reply. AN what dye charge

amused air. Aye, man." rejoined the

HOW THEY TOLD THEM APART.
Soft Boiled Eggs on the Square and Hard
Boiled on the Oval

Soft Boiled Eggs on the Squa re and HARD
Boiled on the Oval.
ssIn a country hotel where l has
stopped for supper" said a traveller, 81
saw on the table some boiled eggs
AS reached for them the waitress said
DO you like them hard or soft
boilcd?'
f'iSoft,' said.
"'The soft boiled are in the other
dish, said the waitress.
'.Then, as I looked the other way on
the t. bic. | saw another dish of eggs.
But they looked precisely like those in
the first dish, and 1 wondered how
anybody could tell them apart if they
should ever get mixed up. As long as
they were kept at the ends of the table
where they were first placed it would
be very simple; but suppose some po-
lite guest should say to his neighbor:
"'Win you have the eggs?'
''And suppose the man should say:
yes, thank you,' and take them, and
suppose one dish should in this way
work along the table until it was
alongside the other; or, for that mat
ter, suppose the dishes should change
places, rs they might easily do, who
could tell then which was hard and
which soft? / found myself rather
amused by this idea, and 1 asked the
waitress how they could tell which
was which.
"'Why, the soft boiled are in the
square dish and the hard boiled are in
the oval dish
''Then l stopped talking for quite a
spell, for it seemed clear to me that 1
was in some things not an intellectual
giant"

Freaks of Memory.

A smart young cavalry officer was
recently exercising his regiment upon
the drill ground when the familiar
words of command suddenly slipped
from his mind, and the strenuous effort
made to recall them was utterly futile.
In order to cover his embarrassment
he was compelled to retire from COM
mand under the plea of illness. Tic
fugitive sentence came to him when he
reached his rooms A still more singu-
lar case is that of well-known and
esteemed merchant, whose memory so
treacherously failed him one morning
after leaving home that he was totally
unable to locate his Offices, and was
actually compelled TO inquire as to
their Whereabouts. Another interest
ing example is that of popular novel

A Dogs Fast Run.

Albert Gleason, of Woburn, owns a
little fox terrier of which he has always
thought good deal, but which he now
values still more highly because of an
exhibition OF his pluck and faithful
ness which the little animal recently
gave. Mr.. Gleason is the station agent
at Woburn Highlands, and the other
day he boarded the train there
to go to Boston. He entered the
last car, and when the train arrived
at Cross street he was surprised on
looking back to see that the dog was
following it and was only short dis
lance behind. AS the train moved on
the dog continued to follow at most
astonishing speed, and at Winchester
he was only about two hundred feet
behind it. The distance between the
two towns is one and three-quarSer
miles, and the little dog had covered it
in less than four minutes.
