AN EQUITABLE ARRANGEMENT.

He Bore Envied Name. While She Pos
ses.ed Coveted Riches
The lady was a widow and rich
very rich-as the French novelist says,
richissime. The gentleman was a
widower. past sixty: extremely, even
ridiculously, poor, and the last OF a
most noble and most historical house.
History is full of the achievements OF
his people. Froissart mentions their
exploits in every other page: they Were
always taking this side or the other,
for the king and against the king; when
they took side they meant it; out
they marched, they and theirs, in full
armor.
Whichever side they took. it always
ended in their being captured and de
capitated for high treason, or else
killed in battle. From father TO son.
from generation to generation. for
long centuries none of them ever went
out of the world from an ingloriouS
feather bed; it was always from the
grassy field of honor or from scaffold.
y gray beard was unknown in that
house; nor had any of them ever eX-
perienced the tender emotions OF
grandfather
The lady, besides being a widow and
richissime. was of ignoble origin, and
her late husband had made his money
in trade. Reflection upon this point
made her unhappy. She was so rich
that she thought she ought also to be
noble Just To correspond. 1t is a com
mon confusion of thought. She de-
sired, above all things, to connect her
riches with an ancient name, and she
heard of this old nobleman, and she
made proposition TO him. Marry
me-" she said. Give me that right to
use your name. In return / will give
You as handsome an annuity as you
can possibly desire. You shall have
the means of living as you please. and
of obtaining all that you can desire. l

sake, you will take your place at my
dinners, and that you will show up. "a
the lord of the house, at my recep-
tions."
Twas arranged in this sense. The
lady took and furnished for herself a
great hotel, writes Walter Besant in
London Queen. She had the rooms
decorated in honor of this and that il
lustrious ancestor. The arms of the
house were everywhere; the portraits
busts and statues of the house were
in all the rooms; the pictures repre-
scented scenes and episodes in the his
tory of the house. The servants wore
the ancient livery, the well-known liv
cry of the house.
The hotel became the museum of the
house, and at dinners and on reception
nights the duke himself was always
present, grave, dignitied and stately
with the look of one who had stepped
out of a picture frame five hundred
years old, and had put on the clothe:

was not at home he lived in his owl
chambers, at the club, after his OWL
fashion. An excellent bargain, was i
not, and one that seems perfectly fail

RECKLESS WASTE OF LIFE.
Few OF the Latest Discoveries OF Hy
gienie Science Are Yet Utilized.

Few Of the Latest Discoveries OF Hy-
gienic Science Are Yet Utilized.
An interesting and to a certain eX-
tent instructive statement has just ap-
peared showing what a reckless waste
of life is going on among us all the
time, says Demorest's Magazine. The
number of deaths from causes prevent
able by means now well known to
science is shown to constitute almost
the entire death list of one of the
leading cities of the country, where,
after death rate of 6g7, there were
only twenty-five deaths recorded from
old age. Seventeen of these deaths oc-
cured from typhoid fever, a disease
which should never exist in a civilized
country. In the French and German
armies, where modern system of
treatment prevails, only one typhoid
patient in fifty dies.
Pulmonary diseases carry off 249 per
sons on this list, and yet it is asserted
that even in cases where children in
herit tendency to consumption there
is no need for it to develop If proper
precautions are taken in time regard
ing exercise, breathing and habits.
Stomach troubles claim 155 more vic
Tins, and are attributable entirely TO
carelessness in eating and drinking-a
proper regulation of diet, as it Is
claimed, being all that would be neces-
sary To prevent every one of them.
This reduces the death rate from a lit
tie over ~ TO about & per cent, and.
with the natural addition to the length
of those lives reported to have been
lost through old age, would probably
bring up the average sum of human
years to 175 or even higher.
The fact is that few of the latest dis
coyeries of science are utilized to ben
eft humanity. People seldom call
upon the doctors until their condition
has become chronic, and then, to save
expense, they rarely undergo thorough
treatment. Then, again, we go on eat
ing and drinking what we know is the
last thing we should think of putting
into our Stomachs, in utter disregard
of the laws of diet. We habitually drink
water that is often as certain a poison
as strychnine or alcohol; we live under
sanitary conditions which render per
feet health an impossibility, and. last
ly, we load our lives with burdens
which, while assisting in no way to
our betterment, sap the very roots OF
our existence and make life melan-
choly pilgrimage. Who shall rear a
temple to the goddess Hygea and make
Methuselahs as common as roses in
