Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper eff forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most slsillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. 1-oQ

a Joyous hulIabaIoo to exhibit their pa
triotism and love Of their rulers. July
Z these folks will be given fine oD-
portunity to show their appreciation OF
their royal bosses, for on that date the
favGrite daughter Of the prince, the
Princess Maud of Wales. will be
married to Prince Karl, Of Denmark, a
grandson Of the old king of Denmark.
This marriage is another feather in the
cap of the king and queen Of Denmark.
They are credited, and not without
reason, with being the boss match
makers of Europe. One of their daugh-
ters married the late car Of Russia and
is now the dowager empress of those
broad domains. Another daughter Is
the princess of Wales, who, in the nat
ural order of things, will one day be
queen of England. One of the sons is
king of Greece, and it is said that the
old couple are now planning to marry
of a grandson tC Wilhelmina, the girl
queen Of Holland. In marrying Prince
Karl. the Princess Maud will be taking
for q husband her first cousin, but this
is an every day matter with royalty
His father, the crown prince Of Den
mark, is a brother Of the princess o.

Wales, so the marriage Will knot still
tighter the ties which bind together
the royal houses of England and Den
mark.
1t was at first intended to make q
gala time of it at the wedding Of the
young couple, but as English royalty is
still in mourning for the late Prince
Henry of Battenbe~g, the wedding will
be as quiet as possible out Of considera-
ton for his widow. The ceremony
will be performed in the Chapel Royal
of ST. James palace, the archbishop Of
Canterbury, primate of all England, as
sisted by the bishops Of London and
Winchester, officiating. Princess Maud
will have eight bridesmaids, her sister,
Princess Victoria of Wales: Princesses
Ingeborg and Thyra, Of Denmark, sis
tiers Of Prince Karl; Princess Victoria,
of Schleswig-Ho Princess Bea-
trice, Of Saxe-Coburg and Gctha;
Princess Alice, Of Albany, and the
Princesses Ena and Victoria, Of Batten-
berg Many of the people who make
up London's smart set are soreIy dis
appointed, because the wedding will
not be conducted on the large scale
originally intended. The new arrange
ment prohibits their participation in
the affair. Even some of the royal
cousins, aunts and uncles will be left
out in the cold. There will be a family
breakfast at Buckingham palace, at
which the queen will take part. This
feast will be given in the state dining

wife is quite the reverse. Her pet
name is Harry, and all the members of
her family so speak OF her. If she
keeps on developing in her chosen
paths she may some day be the most
eccentric princess in Europe. But for
the many conventional ties which bind
royalty to prescribed forms of life she
would have made q name for herself
before this in the ranks OF new woman
mood. She will be twenty-seVen years
old on Nov 26 next. She is short, dark
and vivacious, has opinions Of her own
which she does not scruple to express,
and, moreover, has a pretty sharp
tongue for young woman.
Besides bearing the name Of Harry in
the royal family, the princess is also
known as Miss Mills In order to
avoid the ceremony which must in
evitably attend the doings of a prln-
cess, she has made visits to country
houses under this name, and insists
that her hosts and their visitors and
servants should regard her as an I'M
titled young woman. This was, no
doubt, pleasant for the princess, for
after a few years experience, it must
be rather wearisOme to nave nobody

speak until you start the conversation,
and nobody do anything until you give
him permission. As Miss Mills she
made many friendships, and it is said
that many young Englishmen have lost
their hearts to that lady. She made
one visit of two weeks where her rank
was not known to the other visitors the
whole time.
Princess Harry rides, drives and
skates with much skill, and is prof
cient in other athletic sports, but does
not shoot. She is particularly clever
with her hands, being able to carve
wood, to make pipes and to work little
things in copper and bronze. She also
stuffs and mounts birds. Pipe making
is said to be the gift OF which she IS
pr0udest. She has presented pipes
handsomely carved by he own hands
to several Of her two or three hundred
cousins. One which she gave to her
cousin, the Emperor William, greatly
pleased him. Princess Harry also
wears d monocle, is an expert amateur
photographer, and a good viOIinist.
She has mingled with the crowds at
public exhibitions, a very unusual and
not always an easy thing TO- royal per-
sons to DO, and has ridden on the top
of a London omnibus. She is great
favorite with the English people and it
is safe to say that her wedding pres
ents will be numerous and substantial
enough to support a good sized family

room, and if it is not large enough to
accommodate all of the royal person
ages other tables will be set in the
state ball room. After the wedding the
young couple Will spend the honeymoon
at Appleton house on the Sandringham
estate, the country residence OF the
prince of Wales. The prince has had
Appleton house redecorated and refur-
nished especially for the occasion.
Prince Karl, the bridegroom to be,
has had an uneventful life for a prince.
He was born Aug. 8, 1872, is not quite
twenty-four years old, and is three
years the Junior of his future wife. He
is six feet tall, as strong as a bull, and
cares more for outdoor sports than any
thing else. He is an ardent bicyclist,
and something of scorcher. He is an
officer in the Danish navy, and until
recently was stationed in the West In

to be democratic Altogether he is re
garded by the English people as a very
suitable young man as a husband for
Princess Maud.

USE OF ANTIQUE LACE.

Many gowns are being entirely Gov
cred from waist to hem with a continu-
Gus skirt of rare lace. Flounces wide
and narrow are gathered slightly on to
silk and satin foundations, the narrow
width being headed mostly by a row Of
insertion. Cascades of lace descend on
one side Of the skirt, and sometimes
meander down the train, while the
bodices are draped in the most skiiful
fashion 4 graceful style Of adorning
the train is leaving one corner open
through which a wealth Of lace seems
to gush like water through a gullet.
Sometimes the lace is headed by one O.

favors. and these are often introduced
between the shoulders to mark the
junction of the train and bodice with a
cascade Of the lace below. Some heir
looms of old lace have been dispatched
to Paris to have the pattern outlined
with paiiIettes to match the materials
used for the dress, and this is 50 lightly

There is a little island in the Medi
terranean at the mouth of the Aegean
sea inhabited by bold and warlike
people who are 800 years behind the
rest of the world in the matter of pro
gressioE. On the south side the is
land is inaccessible because OF great
mountains whose fiat walls seem to rise
out of the sea. This island is some
times called Gambia, but mere often it
is spoken of as Crete Just now it is
Of supreme interest to the statesmen
and warriors of Europe. 1t is believed
that this little island will be the start
ing point of the long threatened Eu-
ropean strife the first step Of which
will be the acknowledgements of the OF
toman empire. If each of the great
powers does not get what it deems its
fair share of Turkish territory there
will be more wars and Europe will be
afame.
At the present time there is an insur-
rection in Crete, and the natives are
fighting to sever the bonds which have
tied tnem to the Turk for more than
300 years. Their grievances are much
on the same line as those which are
prompting the Cubans to make such
a bitter struggle for freedom but the
outragcs suffered by the Cretans are a
hundred times worse than those Of the
Cubans Spain is cruel, but words fail
to picture the villainy of the Turk.
What he has done in Armenia he would
like to do in Crete, but the people are
too Warilke for him

tOman empire. Sooner or later the
latter must happen. and as long as it is
in allegiance all of the powers are sus-
picious of every move made by one an
other With the question of the divi-
sion of the Ottoman empire disposed Of,
the war clouds which have been hover
ing over Europe for the past five or six
years would be cleared away. Nearly
all Of the officially inspired newspapers
of the European capitals agree that the
breaking up of the Turkish empire will
begin with the separation of Crete from
Turkey.
Some Of these papers have accused
England of melting the Cretans in the
present rebellion. It is easy to under
stand why this should be true, as Eng
land was sadly outwitted by Russia
when the fleets of the powers were sta
toned in the Bosphorus during the
heigth Of the Armenian troubles. Rus
STA now has Turkey practically under
her thumb. a condition which adds
greatly to her power. England has
long been jealous of Russia, but if the
integrity OF Turkey were broken it
would go long way toward evening up
scores between the Lion and the Bear.
Russia has recently made overtures to
England for the purpose of having the
latter join the Franco-Russian alliance
but England has held off If England
should accept. the integrity of the OF
toman empire might be prolonged fol
an indefinite period But to accept
England would have to swallow numer
Gus chunks Of humble pie, a diet for
which she has no fancy.

get it by force Of superior arms when
the powers, headed by England,
stepped in on the side Of the Turk and
crushed The war-spirit out Of the hardy
islanders. The reason of England's ac-
ton at that time was purely a selfish
commercial one. From strategic and
maritime standpoints the island OF
Crete is important. 1t commands the
