The Pathetic story o. MIRA. Tartar,
Who Didn't Marry Court

-
Poor Mrs. Tartar had always been pc
culiarly unfortunate. From her birth
train of i'll luck had pursued her, al
though. not being on the Long island
railroad, it never passed over her head.
At the time of her marriage her hus-
baud ,'s,s q tssss;sssA ssss;;sss.As seas., employed IN
making himself otherwise generally
useful at summer hotel. Seven years
later, when she began to think OF saw
ing up for the celebration of their tin
wedding, he confessed one day that he
was in reality a native of Hoboken.
A terrible scene ensued, in the course
of which several pieces of the wretchei
man We're distributed about the apart
ment by means of pair of scissors.
The noble woman. however. promptly
forgave him. even going 50 far in her
magnanimity MS 10 assist him in the
subsequent search foi the missing por-
tions of his anatomy.
Nevertheless, the painful disclosure
made an indciiible impression upon her
sensitive mind, and although she care
fully concealed the state of her feel
ings, never mentioning the matter more
than once or twice nj meal times, there
can be little doubt that this secret sor-
row was largely responsible for her
premature decline n, the age of s5.
She had been married barely 40 years
when fate struck her once more in the
solar pleNus. At her urgent request her
husband had insured his life. Two
hours afterNvord, while he was asleep,
she happened to drop large eight-day
clock upon his head, whereupon he
died.
For Is minutes the widow was heart
broken. Then on hurrying around to
the life Insurance company she found
that II had escaped TO Canada.
She certainly was a most unfortun-
ate woman.-N. Y. Journal.

Spain and the CnrIist Cause.

Before 1893 Spain was one of the
great powers. Between 1888 and 1876
there were actually 3s rebellions,
changes of government and coups
d'etat. Since 1888 Spain has declined in
the scale of nations, and now ranks as
little more than thirdrate power. A
glorious tribute, indeed. to the wisdom
of interfering with the settled success
sion. In order to understand the pres
cnt condition of Spain, we have only to
read the daily papers. On the one hand,
in Madrid, we see titular sovereign
struggling Intellectually with an empty
treasury to stave off bankruptcy, max
ing futile attempts with discredited
army to subdue his rcbellious colonies,
and relying upon martial law to crush
civil anarchy, which, be it remembered,
is ever the result of bad government.
Incompetent and tyrannicai police, and
especially of corrupt finance and of tax
alton pressing too heavily On the class
least able to bear it. On the other hand,
in Venice. we see the king waiting un-
til the moment shall arrive for him to
make his final essay to save his coun-
try from the distress with which the
queen regent has proved herself unable
to cope.-Fortnightly Review.
