Five Millions for a Husband.

When Lady Margaret Grosvenor,
third surviving daughter OF the duke OF
Westminster, gave her hand to Prince
Adolphus of Teck, the other day, says
the Philadelphia Times, her father gave
with it marriage portion of five mill
lion dollars. The bride, the daughter OF
probably the richest man in the world,
is rather a good-looking girl whose per-
sonality, to say nothing of such fabu-
lous dot, would seem to entitle her to
something better in the way OF hus'
band than the impecunious young Ian
Ger whose name she now bears. The
prince is an officer in the seventeenth
iancers, the full uniform of which regi-
ment he wore when married. The
wedding presents numbered about five
hundred, and included enough jewelry
to start store. The newly welded
pair will in future be known as their
serene highnesses the prince and prin-
cass AZ Teck"

o,d-r,me weather Prophet.

What is supposed to be the Oldest
European book on meteorology, Rey-
mans ssWeather Booklet" (Wetter-
buechlein), published at Augsburg IN
1905, has recently been reprinted, and
it shows that in this science, as IN
nearly all others, the beginnings o.
our knowledge came from the east.
Reyman's rules for foretelling the
weather are highly commended fo1
their good sense. They were derived
from the Arabs, who taught us chem
istry, astronomy, mathematics and
many other things, for which we have
ceased TO be grateful to them.

THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.

a View OF Their Present Condition and
Prospects for the Future.
What are the prospects of the rsople?|
That depends in the present case large
ly upon the people themselves. A peo~:
pie that are not united will never bear
taxation patiently, because disunitcd
people cannot be commercially pros
porous, and, therefore, cannot afford to.
pay the taxes. The difference between
north and south Italy. or between Pied
mont and Sicily, are not, indeed, like
those between Ireland and England,
largely religious, but they are certain
ly radical, and the gulf between the;
easygoing, but passionate, children OF:
the two Sicilics and the hardy noun
taincer and stalwart cultivator of the;
Piedmont plains is almost as wide as
the chasm between the Teuton and the
Celt. Victor Emanuel's favo1ite uni1ier'
of Italy was the army. but, says the.
Fortnightly Review, it has turned in the
hands of his successor into a disfn-
tegrltor. It was all very we'll to move
the army up and down Italy when the
army was a symbol of common liberia;
ton from which SO much was expected;i
but now the tyrants are gone there u.s.
no longer halo of romance about the
army, nothing but army bills. The
tyrant now is the tax collector.
Undoubtedly the people have a griev-.
ance. The taxes have been not only:
cruelty but unjustly exacted. The coll
lector has entered Sicilian cottages,
backed by the police, and, seeing the
pot-a-feu smoking, argued that those
who could afford to eat could afford to
pay ''supplement' or excess tax, and
if it turned out there WAS no money,
the officers Of the law have been known
to seize the dinner and throw it out the
window, under the noses of the poor
peasant and his hungry family. There
was no redress for the subjects Of Hurn-
bert any more than for those OF Bomba,
when his police, under the brutal
Manisalco at Palermo. dragged the
wives and daughters of the Palermitans
out of bed, stole their jewelry and ar
rested their husbands and brothers on
fictitious charges. People will always
rise against misgovernment and oppres-
sion, whether the government calls it,
self republican, monarchial Or any

HOusEIN WHICH LINCOLN LIVED
For Many Years a Shrine Visited by Thou
sands of Patriots.

For Many Years a Shrine Visited by Thou
sands of Patriots.
The Lincoln homestead stands on the
northeast corner Of Eighth and Jack
son streets in Springfield, Ill. Mr..
Lincoln bought it in 1916 1t was then
story and half house but subse-
quently raised to two stories. 1t is a
plain frame structure and contains
twelve rooms. Mr.. Lincoln lived there
fifteen years; in fact, until he departed
for Washington on the 18th Of Febru-
airy, 1861, to take the presidential chair.
A family by the name Of Tilton occu-
pied the house during the war, and in
those four years sixty-tive thousand
people called to see the home Of the
president. For eighteen years after
the war closed the house passed through
different hands and it was closed to the
public. For long time it was unoc-
cupied In November, 1888. Capt. o.
H. Oldroyd rented the house and threw
it's doors open to visitors. In 1887 Rob-
ert Lincoln decided the house to the
state. Capt. Oldroyd was the custodian
for long time, but was removed by
the democratic administration, his sue
cessor being Herman Honerkamp.
Capt. Oldsoyd is now the custodian Of
the house in which MIR. Lincoln died in
Washington and has taken with him
the grandest collection Of Lincoln
relics in the world. Oldsoyd spent a
lifetime getting these menentos to-
gether. The state could well afford to
have bought the collection and set
apart fund for it's preservation.
The house, says the Chicago Tribune,
is open to the public now and rs vir-
tually just as Mr.. Lincoln left it. Some
repapering and repairing has been done,
but the proportions in the house are in
no way changed. A year or so ago the
state officials had the house photo
graphed and had accurate measure
ments made of the edifice that it might
be rebuilt in case Of fire.
Hundreds Of thousands of people have
visited this house, men and women
representing every civilized nation OF
the earth, and some of the barbarous
ones, too, for that matter. Some years
ago John Philip Sousa, then the leader
of the Marine band, gave a matinee in
Springfield. At the conclusion of the
performance he took his band, sixty
five pieces in all, over to the Lincoln
mansion. After appropriate music every
member of this famous body of mu-
sicians made his signature on the reg
lister book. The occasion attracted an
immense crowd. and numerous and
prominent speeches were made by citi-
zens of note. Sousa held a special
train two hours to accomplish this, he
and his men regarding it slight testi-
monial Of the respect in which they
held Mr.. Lincoln's memory.

Devices for Making the Complexion BetN

Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many of the inventions of the patent
office. One of these is a mask of very
thin rubber, designed to be worn on
the face at night. 1t causes profuseI
perspiration, which washes impurities
out of the skin and makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re-
moved, SO it is claimed.
Another device for producing dim
pies, according to the Cincinnati Com

is a wire mask, likewise to put on when
going to bed. BY an arrangement ;of
screws, pencils Of wood, very blunt, are

desired. Uncomfortable? Why, of
course. But, as the French say it is
worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.

How King Kalakaua Prevented Post
Prandial Internal Disturbances.
The abdication of Queen Liluokalani
recalls an incident in which her pred
ecessor, King Kalakaua, figured when
he visited this country eleven or twelve
years ago. The Rambler, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, does not
recall the exact date, but remembers
that he met the distinguished monarch
in Philadelphia at the Continental ho-
tel. Kalakaua was fond of the good
things Of life, including all sorts and
descriptions of liquid refreshments. It
was his proud boast that he always
drank like gentleman" which, ac-
cording to his Interpretation, was the
power to consume vast quantities of
champagne without affecting his men,
tai powers or his equilibrium. And he
could do it; and so could his private
secretary. They were in Philadelphia
for couple Of weeks, and in that time
were wined and dined lavishly by the
best people in town. The king became
a sort of gastronomic mentor for young
blades who wanted to emulate him,
and they thought they had learned
something wonderful when his majesty
confided to them the secret of his abil-
ity to dine well and show no after i'll
effects. He drank q teaspoonful Of
olive oil after each bottle of fizz. This,
he explained, caused the surface of the
wine to remain covered while in the
stomach and prevented the fumes of
carbonic acid gas from going to the
brain.
Kalakaua was regarded with ex-
traordinary favor by the bon wants Of
the day, and would probably have
maintained his reputation as gentle
manly diner if it had not been for an
unlocked for happeninR.

A man who has been on the frontier

Capt. P. II. Roy, of the regular army.
now in charge OF theS shoshone and
Arapahoe agency in wyoming Capt:
Ray has practical views touching the
Indian problem, based on his long con-
tact with the red man. He believes that
the Indian can be made a self-support-
ing and useful citizen, and all that is
needed is to furnish him sufficient in
centive to work for a living, the same as
his pale-face brother.
During the war just ended,'' said he
! tx, writer for the Washington Post, II
had the Indians at work on a big irri.
eating canal, of which seven miles have
been completed. They made as good
laborers as I ever saw and worked
cheerfully for one dollar per day. H.
addition to that they raised enough grain
for the reservation and to supply the
neighboring military post, having a
surplus besides to sell. They hauled
every pOuuO VI 11CAe AAo IL oAAA VIC e'AA VSoy
terminus to the agency, a distance Of
one hundred and fifty miles. The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of a century hate to see them
beginning to get on a self-supporting
basis, for then there will be no more
money to be made out of them. For
that reason every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts Of misrepresenta-
lions made by these parties, who dread
to see their occupation gone. During
all my experience in the west l have
never known an administration that has
dealt with the Indians in as clean and
conscientious way as the present. The
secretary of the interior has, without
any partisan bias, done in every in
stance his best to promote the interests
of the tribes and the government, and,
from my own observation, think that
he has thus far been very successful"

Jacobs threw broken pie on the
ground near the horses head. The ant-'

relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies.
to the horse. The horse soou got to,
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was to be had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, wheni
Jacobs says pie to him, the horse will!
turn his head and wink expectantly.
He has decided preference for mince'
pie, and the more raisins and currants,
and cider there are the better he isl
pleased. Apple pie is great favoritel
with him. Most bakers put grated mutt

seem to agree with the equine taste.
Pumpkin pie he likes and cranberry

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.

An Inyaltded Fisherman's Ingenious De-
vice for Continuing His Sport.
A cheerful example of ingenuity in
making tpe best of it" is to be seen at
an apartment house on Spruce street.
It takesthe form # a long, light fish
ing rod fixed to ore OF the window
,, frames of room on the third story in
such way that tho line depending
from it bangles ove5 the sidewalk
triHe less than sewn feet from the
ground, says the New York Sun.
At the hook end of the line there is
fixed a light wire basket and at the
butt end of the pole there sits an in
valid, chained to his chair by paralysis
of the legs. In his active days the IN
valid was great fisherman, and, as his
wife is old and feeble, too, it has been
the old fsher1nan's fancy to rig up this
pole and set it for bites. They come in
the shape of the morning and evening
papers, his mail, messages from old
cronies who know his within, and small
parcels from the peighboring trades
men, who also know his fancy.
When the old Waltonian is wheeled
in his chair to the window in the morn
ing his first glance Is down at the
basket to see if there is any bite.
There nearly always Is, and then the
window is opened, Nd matter what the
weather may be, the line is wound IN
on the reel until it reaches the end ring
on the pole, and then the fish is dex-
terously landed.
Sometimes, so the tleighbors say, the
old fisherman makes believe to "play'
with the catch; and when, one day, a
friend loaded down the basket with
shad that really required good deal
of skill to ha,1l in. the invalid fisherman
was SO overjoyed when ne did land 1t
that he could do nothilg but smile for
the rest of the day. The cold spell has
bothered him a little, but when last
seen, during therecent h1gh cold winds:
he had a heavy fur cap pulled down over
his ears, a wooden comforter wound
around his neck, fur gauntlets on his
hands. and was hauling fin package of
tobacco and a letter with all the con-
centrated interest of tue angler hav-
ing it out with a gamy FISH:
