It was the necessities created by the oc-
casion that determined Mrs. Armstrong
or Nine. Melba to go on the stage Her
husband gave his consent, but his rela-
tlves, the descendants Of an old and
honorable border family, who followed
the Stuarts, were greatly dismayed at the
very suggestion. Especially so was
Armstrong; eldest brother, the Rev. Sir
Frederick Armstrong. baronet. But as
these people with their pride could do
little or nothing for her husband, Nine.
Media carried out her Intentions. Her
debut was made at the Grand Opera
house in Paris, and was such an extra
ordinary success that very soon afterward
she was recognized as one OF the fore
most prima donnas of the lyric stage.
From Paris she went to London and re-
peated her triumph at the DrGry Lane.
The young Duke of Orleans had met
her in Paris, and although then engaged
to be married to the Princess Marguerite,
of Charities. he followed Nine Melba to
London, from where, however, he soon
suddenly and mySteriOusly disappeared.
Nor could any trace of his wherea bouts
be obtained for some time, when it was
all at once discovered that he was travel
ing bout Europe as M Beville," follow
ing Nine. Melba. The news created the
grea lest CONSERVATION and dismay among
the rOyalist party in France. The Due
d 'Aumale, grand uncle of the lie Petit
Due, as Orleans was called summoned
conference and NM Bosher and
Dufeuille, Orleanist deputies, were sent
to Stewohouse, in the village of Rocking
ham, near London, which mansion the
Comte of Paris had rented the year be-
fore. When the French ambassadors
go there Gle Petit Due" was not to be
found. They did find that the duke was
struggling under a load of debt due To
London money lenders, amounting to
nearly l,O00,0 900 francs. They also found
tall 1.-the man lettering ABOUT the place
as if on the watch. This was Capt. Arm
strong, who was looking for the duke to
thrash him.

WANTED TO LICK HIM.

When Capt Armstrong was asked
what he was after, he replied that he
was hunting for very small game and had
had very bad luck even at that. But"
he added, when | catch the Duke I'll
lick - out of him, if it takes me a year
to get the chance, and then he can have
his say"
In the meantime the Duke had followed
Nine Melba to Sacher's Hotel de rOpera
in Vienna, from which he was finally
elected. He next appeared in st. Peters
burg, where Nine. Melba sang in the
Royal opera house. Orleans so bolster
ously applauded Nine. Melba that the car
had him put out of the theater He next
put up at the Hotel Beaurivage in Lau-
same Ouchy, where Nine. Melba and her
husband had resided only few months
previous. Unable to get the Duke to lick
out of him, " Capt. Armstrong sent him
a challenge to fight duel. But LIE Petit
Due declined to meet the husband on the
field of honor. He gave as his reason that
he being of royal blood could not recog-
nize a challenge from a commoner. Unable
to click" him or to shoot him in duel,
Capt. Armstrong then began an action
for divorce from Nine Melba and another
against the duke for 100000 damages.
In the meantime Nine. Melba had re-
ceived a compensation of 5000 francs a
month at the Paris opera house and now
she demanded 1000 francs a single night
The new director of the opera finally ac-
ceeded to this demand A feature of the
divorce proceedings, which attracted in
terest all over Europe, was the way in
which the Duke of Orleans was referred
to in the citation served upon him by
Capt. Armstrong; lawyers. 1t described
HIM as being commonly known as the
Duke of Orleans"

Century. he looks Ike some strange an
tediluvian anlm4i with bis square prehen-

withal, the still dangerous CLEAN Of the
eye, glazed iu its last stare, bids the hunt
er pause and feel almost guilty of crime
in the destruction of so much that is grand
and weird, feeling very different from the
sentiment supposed to attend the slaugh-
ter Of deer. But the triumph of master
ing the wsriest and bravest animal in the
woods by fair stil-hunting, and BY grim

mile, amply atones for any regrets

In the living animal the nose Is a mar

by the olfactory nerves SO great that it is
doubtful whether there is any other animal

Very few men nowadays make large
sums of money, unless they have money
to begin with, and after the representa-
tive man. or even the superior man, has
answered the bread and-butter question he
is commonly at the bottom of his purse,
says Junius Henri Browne in Haypers.
Money making is not high talent, but it
is very rare one, even IN this thriving
democracy, supposed in Europe to be
chiefly populated by money makers, in
stead Of by mere workers for bread and
butter. which we on the spot know to be
the case.
Americans of pure strain are indubitably
more capable Of making money than the
people Of any other nation, because they
are more intelligent, more developed, more
practical are better educated, and require
more conveniences and redundancies. But
all their capacity is, as rule, needed to
insure them what they consider comfort
able livelihood, though Europeans would
think it luxurious. as indeed it Is.
II these could turn their labor to any
such profit, they would put by consider
able part of it regularly, and so furnish
the ground work of a competency. Amer
leans, however, are not often so thrifty,
or so provident of the future, because,
perhaps, they are too confident Of inner
resources and Of ample opportunities

DRUNKENNESS IN SOCIETY.
New York Women Becoming Addicted
to the Use of Liquors.

T. B. Crothers. NJ. D., in an interest
ing article recently published in med.
ical journal. says:
The term alcoholism is generally
used to describe a class of cases which
have become disease by continued and
excessive use of alcohol In reality an
increasing number OF these cases begin
to use spirits in excess suddenly and
pass rapidly into the chronic state. The
use of alcohol is only a symptom, and
the cases are not those of true alcohol
ism. because they are due to other
causes. Inehriety would he more ac-
curate term"
Or. Crothe~s goes on to say that the
moderate drinker of the past has in
measure disappeared. Now we have the
impulsivc, manlacal drinkcr, who. after
brief preliminary stages. becomes an ex-
cessive user of spirits. In this class come
the periodical inehriates, who at fixed
intervals develop an uncomfortable ap-
petite. The interval between these at
tacks is often exactly regular In one
case it was 81 days and hours: in an
,ther &c days and hours. 1t is this alb
notAliu. diseased appetite for liquor
which. DR.. Brill says. is growing more
common among women.
The statement has been often made
that New York society women are moro
given TO drinking intoxicating liquors
than are the women of any other city in
the country This is unquestionably
true II the range Of comparison be limit
cd to northern and western places. 1t
may be that the traditional use Of hQuor
in the south brings its cities nearer to
the marx, One thing, however, is abso-
lutely certain. and that is that in no city
IN the United States, San Francisco per-

Ignorance of Boston School ChildreI

Ignorance of Boston School Children.
BY the liberality of Mrs. Quincy Shaw
was enabled to make comprehensive
studies in 1880 of large number of Bos-
ton children just after they had entered
the lowest grade Of the primary school.
Fourteen per cent Of these six.year-old
children had never seen the stars and had
no id "a about them; 35 per cent had never
been into the country; 20 per cent did not
know that milk came from cows; 55 per
cent did not know that wooden things
came from trees; from IS to Is per cent
did not know the colors, green, blue and
yellow, by name; Al per cent had never
seen pig; 60 per cent had never seen
robin; from ID to Is per cent did not know
where their cheek, forehead, or throat
was. and fewer yet knew elbow, wrist,
ribs, etc.
More than three -fourths of all the children
had never seen to know them any of the
common cereals, trees, or vegetables grow
ing. These subjects were chosen because
most of them constitute the material of
school primers or elementary instruction
which this new science of ignorance shows
must make mere verbal cram of much
matter Of instruction.

who thought q COW no larger than its
picture get from all instruction about hide,

THE NEW BAPTIST PARSONAGE.
The completion of the Baptist parson-
age marks an important era in the Baptist
church OF Franklin. few years ago the
society succeeded In erecting fine place
OF worship. Tut have been without a pas
tor much OF the time, for want of home.
The need this year seemed so pressing
that, In spite of the hard times, an effort
was made early In the autumn TO take
steps toward the erection of parsonage.
Providence seemed to interfere In behalf
of the church In securing very unexpect-
edly most desirable lot.
In spite of lack of funds and the late
ness of the season, building committee,
with Sherman Scammon as chairman and
Joseph f. Dunn and Rev. G. W. Avery as
associates, was chosen and in three days
more ground was broken. In spite Of
cold weather snd oftentimes scarcity of
funds, within twelve weeks a cellar was
dug and stoned and underpinnlng set uu-
der l60 feet of sill, and a house which

Much credit is due the architect, Roland
Moon, for his faithful carrying out of his
unique and tasteful plans. and his con-
slant endeavors to lessen the cost to the
society. The building has cost about ST.
200, $500 of which was given in labor.
Too much credit cannot be gwen Joseph

labor throughout, has brought the work to
successful Issue iu so short d time
Much credit is also due Mrs Helen Cor
don and Miss Clara Dunn for their untr-
