Marriages That Made History.

The marriage of Ethelbert, king of Kent,
with Bertha, the Christian daughter OF
Charibert, king of Paris, paved the way to
Christianity in England. The marriage
OF Henry VIII with Anne Boleyn was one
OF the principal factors leading to the refor.
nation. Ethelred the Unready's marriage
with Emma of Normandy gave the Con.
queror an excuse for asserting his claim to
the English throne. The marriage of
Henry with Matilda of Scotland recon.
ciled the people of England to the conquest
by restoring the line of Cedric. Henry ii g
marriage with Eleanor of Aquitaine made
England the first continental power in
western Europe. The marriage of Henry
VII with Elizabeth of York closed the
bloody wars of the roses The marriage
of Margaret, daughter of Henry VII, with
James Nv of Scotland ultimately led to
the union of England and Scotland.
Finally the marriage of Sophia with the
elector of Hanover put line of German
princes on the English throne. GETTYSBURG

TRAINING HORSES.
The Strange Power That Tanner Exer-
cised Over Them.

Badminton contains some instances Of
the power of LOefler, the famous trainer
over horses. He seemed 10 have my ste
rious influence over thom, but 10 did not
even in his own mind, partake of the ma
turo of claptrap. Years ago some one asked
him To disclose his valuable secret
II have no secret at all, " he replied
THE horses know don't want to make
fools of them, and they don { want TO make
a fool of me- ~
He spoke with an air of absolute sin.
certify, but 10 the locker on IL often did APP
pear as If he had employed the power of
magic.
He seemed to read horse character by
instinct. One day he was called in TO
look at the mouth of a young FLY about
which he could have heard nothing but no
put his hand in her mouth and knew all
about her in moment.
"She is useful little thing, he said,
"but she won't do any good this year, and
you'll have TO be careful of her too. When
she gets into one of her tantrums, she
would just as soon gallop into brick wall
as not "
That was her character exactly, but
how could Loefller tell it just by feeling
her mouth?
Again, there was savage horse that
would let no one go near him save his
own boy, and even he had to be partcu-
larly careful and observant.
On day Loefller was about the stables,
and some one asked if he had seen this
horse.
Hes in the box with him now, l
think, was the quiet reply.
"Being eaten up alivef"
81 think not, " said the trainer. "Well
go and see."
Loeffler was found sitting on the ground
in corner of the box, and the horse, his
head loose, was affectionately rubbing his
head against the strange mans shoulder.
A story has been told of his asking to
take charge Of an American horse which
could not be trained because it was abso-
lutely unmanageable, and how in the
course of a fortnight the 'mad horse"
without bit or bride, was trotting about
like big dog behind Loeffler as he rode

MyLady'S Strange Girdle

"What do you think is in it?" l ask
ed the question again of my companion
ms we paced up and down the deck Of
the Peninsular and Oriental steamer.
We Were blowing our way through
the bay of Biscay. Our destination was
Calcutta via the Suez canal. The first
stop was Gibraltar, and the captain had
assured us at luncheon that we should
hear the bulldog menace of its sunset
gun that night The steamer was to
stop at the rock "a hours TO coal There
upon the ladies had indulged in frantic
hopes and plans Of ascending the rock
of Gibraltar on appropriate donkeys,
and of seeing possibly famous after

test.
The steamers passengers were inter-
esting, for each member of our compa-
ny was abroad with special intent,
not the usual aimless lettering, as along
Atlantic liners. Here were English Off
GERS destined for Egypt, fathers of fam
lilies who were raising ostriches on
farms in South Australia, traders from
upper Egypt who had unloaded their
wares in London and were now return
ing via Alexandria to Stout on the Nile;
a silent German fellow, q professor,
whom none Of us could make out, but
who was interesting, who wore a scien-
tific frown and kept below three-quar-

Undertaken Found Eer Alive When He
Came to Embaim Her.
Undertaken William J. Kelly of ST.
Louis was summoned recently by res
ident of the north eud to come TO his
residence and take charge of his wife's
remains, she having supposedly died.
Accompanied by one Of his men Mr..
Kelly repaired TO the place designated,
where, in an upper chamber, he was
shown the body, still reposing on the
bed. The family present, consisting OF
the husband and two women, retired
from the room while Mr.. Kelly and his
attendant proceeded TO lay out the body
on cooling board, preparatory to EN-
banning il The woman was apparent.
~ some 30 years Of age, slight of figure
and possessed of refined and handsome
features. despite the raYages Of con-
sumption, of which she had fallen a
victim.
Gas we laid the body on the cooling
board, " said Mr.. Kelly. 81 was struck
with the lifelike appearance of the face
of the corpse and the great warmth Of
the body We hastily and as tenderly
as possible replaced the body on the
bed, and called to the family to
come in, telling them that the woman
was not dead. l naturally expected a
scene, but not so. The two women in
attendance merely looked at each other
in bewildered way and hardly ex-
pressed any surprise, while the husband
seemed as little affected. Gathering up
our traps, we hastily departed, and l
heard no more of the case until q week
afterward, when Twas again summoned
by the husband to embalm and bury his
wife's remains. On this second trip I
found the body still Qgite warm, but
before proceeding to make an injection
l allowed the body to become quite cold
to make sure that death had taken place.
"The incident has impressed upon
me" continued Mr.. Kelly, "how care
full undertakers should be not only in
viewing corpse, but in having reliable,
sober men in their service, especially
for embalming. Had thoughtless, care

FeATS OF HlNDOO PORTERS.
Climb Steep Mountains With Cumbersome
Packs on Their Backs.

Darjeeling tea, said Mr.. George w.
Christison in n recent lecture before the
British Society of Arts, is all carried by
the hardy hill men up the steep mountain
roads to the nearest railway station on tho
way to market. 1t is no unusual day s
work for cody to carry tea chest
weighing from 10 to 1870 pounds dis
lance of five or six miles, making at the
same time an ascent of from 900 to 800
feet in sheer vertical elevation.
There can be no deception about task
like that, and we cannot but have an ad !.
iniration for the powers of endurance of
those who perform such feat. OF course
these people are trained to load carrying
and mountain climbing from their very
infancy, and hence the peculiar set of
muscular faculties required for them are
fully developed, if not actually called in
TO existence, at the cost of Others so much
so that walking on a level after q few
miles becomes positively painful to them.
In the prosecution of their own trade or
in domestic affairs they frequently under
take long, arduous journeys over ridges
and along and across hot valleys varying
many thousands of feet in elevation, occu-
pying many days, carrying heavy loads of
from $50 to goo pounds, and over and in
addition to their food and bedding, most
cheerfully lighting a fire, cooking and
eating their scanty meal and going to sleep
by the wayside.
There is story still current of q Bhoo-
team in old times having carried a grand
piano up the hill to Darjeeling, a distance
of 90 miles forward and involving a rise
of more than 5000 feet i'm elevation by the
old road These hill tribes are hardy
people, capable of performing marvellous
Journeys without partaking of food, or on
the most meager fare.-New York World
