MORGANATIO MARRIAGE.
It Receives the Sanction and Blessing
Of The Church.


It Receives the Sanction and Blessing
Of the Church.
Morganatic marriages are regarded
10y many in this country in the light
of something immoral, says a writer
in the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
This is far from being the case. The
position Of a morganatic wife is per-
fectly respectable. Her union re-
ceiyes the sanction and the blessing
Of the church, and the only way in
which it differs from an ordinary mar
riage is that the left instead of the
right hand is given before the altar,
and that, as stated above, the rights
Of the inferior of two contracting
parties is limited. Indeed, the word
"NIorganatic," derived from the Scan
dinayian verb 'morgyan" (to limit,
implies as much.
The people who until now have
been permitted tocontract morganatic
marriages, and to assign so altogether
unjust a status to their wives and
their children, have been not only
the princes and princesses Of the now
regning houses of Germany, Italy,
Austria, Russia, Denmark, Spain and
Portugal, but also the members Of
what are known as the mediatized
families Of central Europe. These
figures in Part | OF the Almanach de
Gotha. The heads Of these houses.
some of them dukes, some princes,
Others merely marquscs and counts
(such as, for instance, Count Pap
pcnheim, who married Miss Wheeler,
of Philadclphia), formerly enjoyed
the rank and power of petty sover-
eigns, yassals, however, to his apos-
tolic majesty, the emperor of the Holy
Roman empire at Vienna. The Ma
poleonic wars swept the majority of
these small states away, and the treaty
of Vienna set its seal to their disap-
pearances. 1t was felt, however, that
they required some sort of compensa-
tion for the loss of their dominions.
Accordingly, they and their lineal de-
scendants were invested with a num-
Der of extraordinary privileges such
as are enjoyed by the members of act
ually reigning houses, and con
spicuous among which was the right
to contract morganatic marriages.
These unions, as stated above, are en-
tirely out Of keeping with the demo-
cratic spirit of the present age, and
are not appropriate to the conditions
of modern life. They are no longer
tolerated by French law, which re-
CARDS all marriages as equally binding
upon both parties, the failure of Mile.

CAT AND LION.
A Strange Scene in the San Francis
CO Zoo.

CO Zoo.
A little purring kitten rubbed her
self in friendly fashion against the
great iron bars Of the den of Old Paul,
the Zoos famed lion, of whom ex-
treme age has made a pitiable show
these many weeks. 1t was the kittens
way of coaxing Paul to come to say
goodnight to her, for Paul and kittie
were the best of friends. She was the
only bit of outside life that Paul was
every friendly with. Every night for
weeks kittie had crept shyly up in
front Of the bars Of her old lion lovers
home, and when she mewed to him he
came forward and put his great shay
gy head as close to her as he could,
and they caressed each other.
Last night when kittie came, and,
rubbing coaxingly against the bars,
mewed all softly for her jungle lover
to come and say goodnight, Paul just
lay still, his head between his paws,
and didn't notice her at all. Tired Of
coaxing him, the faithful kittic
stopped and just looked and looked
at the noble, great fellow. Finally,
keeper saw her do something that
instinct never let her do before. She
shyly crept through the big black
iron bars, and going in, caressed the
great bowed head in her most loving
way. But there was no response.
Then kittie slowly went away, and
Paul slept on--the sleep that knows
no waking.-San Francisco Call.

feet he has had no trials or tribula-
lions worth speaking about.
The first vicious quality which the
beginner will discover in that modest,
unassuming little sphere of gutta per-
cha is its profund helplessness and
terrible inertia. In baseball or cricket,
or tennis, the ball shows some inclina-
tion and willingness to do its share of
the work. 1t will come to you, posi-
bly,, with undue violence in the head or
the solar plexus, but at any rate it
shows some animation, and that is
just what the golf ball steadafstly and
stubbornly refuses to do.

formal putting green word for it, and

A SECRET ROOM.

Visitors to the patent office in
New York are frequently carried
to "the vault" and allowed to
gaze through the palings of the
wooden door that leads to the
sepulchral apartments with their
imagination excited by stories of
the contents of the place. "The
vault of the patent office con-
sists of series of rooms and cor
ridors in which the papers of all
the abandoned patent cases are
filed. When an inventor has
filed his claim and from poverty
which prevents him from prose-
cutting it, or from a change Of
opinion regarding the merits of
his device, decided to press it no
further, the whole case is sent to
the abandoned files room.
Every year since the organi-
.zation of the patent office the con-
tents of that room have been
added to, The rules of the pat
ent office are that these files shall
be kept absolutely secret, and no
one is permitted to pass the wood
en- gate leading to them, except
a small number of trusted en-
ployes. What thoughts of genius

IDARC's FUTURE.

In no section Of the mineral
belt are the prospects more
promising than in the state of
Idaho. The great mining tidal
wave that is gathering force all
along the line will strike Idaho
with full power, for its mineral
advantage invite the closest scrut-
my. AS a commonwealth Idaho
suffers from inadequate railway
facilities and always will on &C
count of the topography of the
panhandle, but the fact that a
great deal of the ore produced
must find an immediate outlet in
to adjacent states will in no wise
interfere with the development
of her mining districts or discour-
age capital from seeking invest
ment within her borders. Placer
mining is receiving a great deal
of attention in Idaho, and there,
as well as elsewhere, it is found
that the old timers did not strike
bedrock, but stopped operations
when a false bottom was encoun-
tered. Thus the old workings
offer splendid inducements to the
modernly equipped miner, and
no state can boast of wider area
of such profitable ground. Idaho
is scanned with rich veins of
quartz and in addition to her al
ready great mines the future is
full of promise to the prospector.
Little wonder that the eye of the
eastern investor is conferred upon
this state. 1t is a jewel in the
crown Of the mineral empire.

party of five people, including
two women, crossed the Rocky

six years prior to Fremonts

Weed writes: "The first we'd
ding tour across the continent
was in 1896. There were two
couples, Marcus Whitman, VI. D.

and their brides. They made
the journey Of thirty-fve hun

months, in wagon, the first to
cross the continent. DR.. Whit

before, was guide to the new
home in Oregon. He was the
first to make known its value to

the famous journey, "the highest

reads the inscription, Fremont,

A Story OF Dickens,

When I was a girl of about 10
years of age, says one of the oldest
inhabitants of Broadstairs, during a
dreadful winter / was sent by my
parents, who were very poor, to
Ramsgate to buy myself pair of
strong winter boots. On my way
home the cold was intense, and,
holding the parcel close to me, ]
found, when nearly at my journeys
end, that the boots had slipped out
of the parcel and that only held
the brown paper in my hands.
With my heart in my n1outh. /
ran back by the way / had come,
and, meeting a man whom / had
passed some time previously, asked
him If he had seen the boots, and
he answered, very gruf1y, MOL"
Continuing my search, I met q
man in dogcart, who inquired
what was the hurry, fold him of
my loss. After telling him all my
story, he told me to jump up with
him, and soon we overlook the man
whom ! had met before. My good
Samaritan interrogated him very
closely, and eventually it turned out
that he had picked them up.
Charles Diokens-for ii was he
who had befriended me-then said
to him, IF you had been an honest
man, should have rewarded you,
but as you are not a good horse
whipping is what yon deserve. He
then turned and asked me If ] had
heard of Charles Dickens. to which

upon me, he said, "You will hear of

and you will then be able to tell
how he did a kind action once in his

Herb Folklore.

The following piece Of herb folk
lore was told to me many years age
by North Lincolnshire lady On
the night our blessed Lord was born
the stable Of the nativity was litter
ed with bracken and what we now
call the yellow lady's bedstraw.
Before this time both these plants
had produced in the summer time
insignificant little white flowers, but
then it was thedepth of winter, and
they were tlowerless.
When the first cry of the divine
infant was heard, thes bedstraw
burst into bloom in honor of the
birth of the Saviour of the world,
but the bracken made no sign of
reverence; SO it has come to pass
that the bracken has ever since been
deprived of the power of producing
any blossoms whatever, while the
bedstraw has been endowed with
long sprays of golden florets. Notes
