they brayely fought the flames. If men

fewer premature deaths. The best

THE GYPSY QUEEN IN COURT.


live with her husband. She declares
he then tied her to post i'll a tent
along with a huge cinnamon bear. A
chain was fastened around her neck
with an iron ring. He kept her thus
for days One of the young men in the
camp loved and pitied the fair prisoner
and appealed to the tyrant husband for
release. Stanislaus, satisfied his wife's
affection was lost to him. finally agreed
TO sell her TO his rival for $3.50 The
cash was paid and the eX-Queen re-
leased. Toda was not grateful TO her
liberal admirer. She refused to marry
him. Another less gallant sutton had
captured the heart of the gypsy queen
and she soon married him with gypsy
rites. This aroused the anger Of the
s15O admirer and he joined with Stan
islaus in prosecuting her afresh. They
tried to brighten her by declaring she
was a bigamist, and this drove Toda
to consult a lawyer. Then the divorce
project was born and bill was filed
in the superior court. According to
the complainant the action broke all
gypsy traditions. StanislauS made no
defense. Like all his race, he has a
horror of courts and the ways of mod
ern civilization. He paid no attention
TO the notice served on him and the eX-
gypsy queen and her two witnesses
told their stories without being contra
dicted Toda grew angry when she de-
scribed how she had been chained up
and her baby taken from her to be sold
at some future day. For deserving her
husband she said she had been beaten
and punished in various cruel ways.
According to the ROmany law, her hus-
band was her absolute master and not
until he had sold her did he lose con
troll of her. The suggestion that if the
courts should recognize a gypsy mar
riage by granting a divorce she would
be liable 10 arrest for bigamy did not
worry Toda The gypsies, she explained
to her attorney. had too great an aver
sion to law courts to take any action
Judge Brentano did not allude to the
bigamy phase and it was not brought
to his attention The evidence was
deemed by him sufficient to justify
decree being granted. and so he or
dered. When the gypsy queen returned
to the camp i'm the evening with the
decree she repaired to the tent of her
second husband. and no gypsy in the
settlement dared dispute his rights and
hers. The big red seal and the ribbons
on the decree seemed potent to them.

appearance Of the gypsy eX-queen in
court in strange costume attracted con-
siderable attention and Judge Brentano
was compelled to order the doors
closed before the taking of testimony.
Toda said she was married to her hus-
band in a camp in Mississippi two
years ago. after having been purchased
from her father by the bridegroom for

her husband and the Chicago camp,

TROPICAL STORMS IN CUBA.
Downpours OF Rain That Bring Waters
I'm Cataracts.


A sudden pattering in the trees. 4
sudden darkening in big spots Of the
white canvas. and down came the trop-
zeal rain. How it rained, Like waves
breaking; great heavy blobs of water
volleying at you like bullets from
machine gun. Men who were ten
yards from their tents We're wet
through before they gained shelter
In five minutes the camp was under
water; on the slopes were rushing tor
rents; on the levels were deep swirl
ing pools. Down the trunks of the
trees the water poured in cataractS.
From the lower edge of every tent II
flowed in broad stream. The men,
drawing up the corners of their rub
Der blankets so as TO keep the flood
away from themselves and their be-
longings, crouched under their tents
and shivered. 1t rained for two hours
without stopping. In the first half
hour every man in camp was wet
through, SO that many OF them took
off their wet clothes and stood naked
in the rain for the remainder OF the
time. The SUN came out again Soon
after. hotter than ever, and the damp
earth steamed till the camp was an
open-air vapor bath. But blaze away
as the sun might, the ground never got
dry again that day, and at night we
turned in shivering with the damp
earth striking cold through the rubber
sheet and blanket. Pity the poor dew
lis now who, when they were marching
in the sunshine, threw away the rub
Der sheet and blanket.

LIMITS OF MARRIAGEABLE AGE
When Couples May BE United Accord
ing to Laws of Various Nations.


1t makes considerable difference in
the matrimonial advantages of per-
son where he may have been born or is
citizen. This remark applies with
peculiar force to the minimum age
which renders union legal. 1t in a
measure implies the consent of parents
or guardians in all the instances cited,
although once united the law suStains
the marriage maugre dissent of the
parents, ETC. In Austria IA years is
looked upon as sufficient to entitle
person of either sex to take on the
burdens of matrimony. Germany re-
quires the male to be IS and the fe-
male 16. In France and Belgium the
man must be 16 and the woman 10. In
Spain the intended husband must have
passed the 14th year and the woman
her 18th. The law in Hungary for Ro-
man Catholics is that the man must be
II years old and the woman II; for
ProtestantS the man must be Is and
the woman Is. In Greece the man
must have seen at least IA summers
and the woman r. In Russia and Sax
ony they are more sensible, and
youth must refrain from matrimOny till
he can count Is years and a women I'M
til she can count 16. In Switzerland
men from the age Of IA and women
from the age of z are allowed TO mar
ry. The Turkish law provides tnat
any youth and maid who can walk
properly and can understand the neces-
sary religious service are allowed to be
united for life.-Anaconda Standard.

The International Miners congress
held at Vienna in August voted in
favor of making the eight-hour work
day compulsory by law. 1t was de-
manded that laws be enacted in every
country by which employers shall be
made responsible for ali accidents hap
pening to miners. The demand that
all mines be made the property of the
government was voted unanimously
by France, Belgium and Austria. The
next congress will meet at Brussels.

That the color of eyes should affect
their strength may seem strange. yet
that such is the case need not now be
proved. and those whose eyes are
brown or dark cOlOred should be in
formed that they are weaker and more
susceptible of injury from various
causes than gray or blue eyes. Light
blue eyes are generally the most pow
erful, and next to these are gray. The
lighter the pupil the greater and longer
continued is the degree of tension
which the eyes can sustain.

After travelling for several days
through this arid desert. / came one
morning in sight of little cabin sur
rounded by green patch OF grass.
Beside the door grew a honeysuckle
vine covered with blossoms. | confess
that l chOked and the tears rushed to
my eyes al the sight. 1t was as if all
the dear folks at home had suddenly
risen in my path. | rode up TO the
cabin door and dismounted \ cheer
full, tidy woman came out smiling

said. 1t is no miracle; but | was so

grass has warded off the fever. and

Il have not forgotten the lesson OF
that CHEEKY little home" said the mis-
siOnary. None of us can make the
great wilderness bloom, but each one
of US has his own little patch which he
can keep green if he will
Now, when the dread breath of war
has chilled the face of the whole coun-
try, let each of us resolve not to waste
his time deploring the calamity. but
to keep his own home and heart full
of truth and cheerfllness and kind
ness. 1t will need some Of the water
of life' to do this. but that fountain is

POINTS ON FOOD.

Coffee is to be cheaper. This is to
be one Of the results OF the war. Near
ly half of the worlds coffee crop comes
TO the United States. We consume
almost twelve pounds per annum for
every one of our population, and spend
on an average nearly 100000 900 year
for coffee. TwO-thirds of the world S
supply of coffee comes from Brazil,
which places an export duty of IL per
cent upon the fragrant berry. The I'M
est coffee in the world is grown in
Porto Rico Cuba and the Philippines,
and under the stimulation of Amer
lean enterprise these countries viii,
within a few years, be able to supply
the world with coffee. What this
means to the coffee consumer he can
clearly understand.
After all that has been said about
the large quantity Of valuable food that
is going to waste in the shape of edible
mushrooms, recent Investigations
made by Prof l.. b. Mendel of Yale
show that the nutritive value of the
mushroom is not so very high after all.
Science describes Prof Mendel's ex-
pertinent as follows: Chemical anal
yses were combined with experiments
in artificial digestion and special at
tentiOn was given to the amount O.
available (digestible) proteid present.
The latter was found to be not over
. or per cent in fresh mushrooms,
which shows that the prevailing idea
of the great nutritive value Of mush-
rooms is not yet justified. They may
be valuable as dietetic accessories, but
they do not deserve the term 'vege
table beefsteak.' Their nitrogen is
largely in the form Of nonproteid
bodies. The amount of fat, chOlester-
in, soluble carbohydrates, crude fiber
and inorganic substances contained in
them corresponds in general with that
found in other vegetable foods, such
as peas, corns and potatoes"
Rice bread is the staple food of the
Chinese, Japanese and large portion
of the inhabitants of India. In Persia
the bread is made from rice flour and
milk; it is called "lawash.'' The Per-
sian oven is built in the ground about
the size of barrel. The sides are
smooth mason work. The fire is built
at the bottom and kept burning until
the wall or sides of the oven are thor
oughly heated. Enough dough to form
a sheet about one foot wide and about
two feet long is thrown on the bench
and rolled until about as thin as sole
leather; then it is taken up and tossed
and rolled from one arm TO the other
and flung on a board and slapped on
the side of the oven. 1t takes only a
few moments to bake, and when baked
it is spread out to cool. This bread
is cheap Il cent a sheet; it is sweet
