and etymology of the name Chickahominy
by William Wallace Tasker but this was
crowded out and put over to the next meet

The principal essay of the evening was
read by DIR. j. H. Mccormick on THE Psy-
chologIc Development Of Medicine" The
paper traced the history Of medicine from
or through the accidental empiricism out
Of which modern scientific therapeutics is
the outcome. There was an abundance of
illustration taken from a wide range of
chronological research. The topical divi-
sion of the subject was interesting because
it was made on a scheme of terms recently
invented by Major Powell. This divides the
medical science into more of imputation,
personification and reafication. The first
assigns curative or pathological attributes
to things which these things do not pos
sess. The second personifies causes of dis
case and the third makes real or realizes
the true cause Of disease and possible cure.

A CEREMoNIoUs BETRoTHAL.
Formally Asking for the Hand o
Princess Helene.


A dispatch from Paris says that tie be-
trothal Of the Duke of Aosta, nephew of
King Humbert of Italy. and Princess He
lene of Orleans was conducted with the
utmost ceremony. Owing to the recent
death of the Count of Paris all present
were attired in deep court mourning. The
ceremony of betrothal vas preceded by a
walk in the park, after which all assem-
The princesses alone were seated. The
Duke of Aosta entered the salon and ap-
preached the Countess of Paris, the mother
of Princess Helene, and said that he had
the happiness to believe that he had won
Princess Helene's heart, and that mis- wishes
would be crowned if the countess would
consent to their marriage. King Hum
berts consent, he added, had already been
obtained.
The countess replied that she was happy
to confide her daughters happiness to the
care OF prince whom she personally es-
teemed and whose august house was al
ready connected by marriage with the
house of France.
The duke then kissed the hand of the
countess and afterward kissed Princess
IIelenes hand and led her to an embrasure
of window, where they exchanged rings
The duke and the princess had been pre-
viously engaged, but it was thought due
to the dignity of both houses that a formal
demand be made for Princess Helene's
hand. The acceptance of the proposal was
Immediately telegraphed to the Italian
embassy in Paris. Nobody would be sur
prised to hear that the cabinet promoted
the betrothal, in order to please the MEM
bers of the right and as a step toward a
break up of the triple alliance.
The London Daily News correspondent
declares that the wedding will be celebrat-
ed at Turin. in April, and that the cere-
mony will probably take place in the Della
Cisterna Palace.
