Startled the Poor Woman.

She was New Yorker, evidently; she
had evidently been on cable cars before,
and she looked, too, like one not easily
taken back nor tiabbergasted at anything.
Yet at the conductors first words she
flushed then paled, her eyes flashed and
both from her quick-caught breath and
the sudden twitching of the muscles about
her lips she was plainly much overcome.
The other passengers watched her in lear
and wonder. At length she showed
signs of recovery, her color came back,
her eyes grew less startled and her lips
ceased their troubled twitching. Almost,
not quite, she had got the better of the
awful shock. One passenger more curi-
Gus than the rest ventured to ask her its
cause At the mere reference the woman
showed signs of being overcome again.
Then with an effort she once more raj
lied. ''The conductor" she gasped when
she at last found her voice, ''the con-
ductor. when he asked me for my fare,
said-pleas New York Evening Sun.

BISHOP REFUSES.
Nenosha Congregation Reluctantly
Bids Father Drcis Farewell.

Kenosha, Wis, Sept Sit now seems
that the members and friends of ST.

by thousands of citizens, have been pre-
scented, and the board of trustees have
made numerous calls upon the bishop in
the name of the church praying that
Father Henry Dreis be left in this city,
but that dignitary remains unmoved and
Father Elskamp, the newly-appointcd
priest, will be here from Port Washing
ton the early part of next week to take

The Queens Servants.

Queen Victoria knows practically every
one of her servants personally, and Mrs.
Watmore the widow of her majesty $
late coachman, is to be at once placed
upon the already long list of the Queen $
pensioners. Her majesty invariably takes
care that no one belonging to any mem
Der of her huge corps of servants who
has served her faithfully shall ever want.
To enter the Queens service is virtually L
life insurance as we'll as q livelihood and
the competition for even the humblest
positions under so considerate 4 mistress
is Invariably Of the keenest.

second son gave up all his rights of
succession when he married Miss Ebba
Monk. Therefore 1t was considered
wise that Prince Charles should marry,
He was 36 years old, and SO far had
neglected to !, pick out a princess, or
rather, his family, with culpable care
3lessness had not done so for him. But
they suddenly awakened to the fact
that Charles was getting old, and t~at
human NJ ~ q life is mighty unsartin," even
among royal people. ~ -.*"
Meantime, down in Denmark, the
Princess Ingeborg was getting more
angular every day, and no royal prince
came a-looking for her hand. They
sent her about SO that she might for
age for herself and pick up royal hus-
Dand, but it was no use. AS soon as
;lngeborg appeared the. manageable
princes sought new boarding place.
Finally the Dowager Empress of
Russia, .Ingeborg's aunt, who is now
running Queen Victoria a close race as
champion matchmaker of. the world,
thought of Prince. Charles of Sweden.
The Swedish royal family were delight
ed. Had not the very greatest of
monarchs and princes sought in mar
rage the hand Of the Denmark girls?
Charles demurred, but that did not
count. To Copenhagen he went the
other day, and to Princess Ingeborg
he was married. His father led him to
the altar, while the Princess of Wales
and the Dowager Empress of Russia
brought up the blushing Ingeborg. If
Charles had any idea of trying to es-
cape at the last moment, he gave it up.
The odds were against him.
One fine young lady who was recent
ly been selected to be the mother of
kings is the Princess Isabella of Or
!! leans. Albert, who married her. is the
heir to the throne of the wicked old
King Leopold. If the house of Or
leans never again sees the throne of
France, it will in the person of the fair
isabella see the throne of Belgium.
Isabella is decided blonde, healthy
and accomplished. In looking over the
list OF the Catholic princesses of mar
rlageable age, young Albert's family
found none who pleased him more than
Isabella. 1t is true her family are not
in the king business just at present,
but they had been, and Isabella was a
jewel, anyway.
One royal match which has given
great satisfaction to Queen Victoria
and which really seems to have been
love match, was that celebrated re-
Gently between the Duke of Schleswig-
Holstein and the Princess Dorothea of
Saxe-Coburg. The bride is the grand
daughter Of the King of the Belgians,
and both she and her husband are rela-
tives of Victoria.
Duke Ernest Gunther' roamed about
the world until he arrived at the age
of 80 before he thought of matrimony.
Then one day he stopped at the castle
of Ebenthal to pay his respects to
Prince Philip of saxe-Coburg. A romp-
ing girl with short dresses and hair
down her back in long braid was
brought out and introduced to the row.

The Curing of Tobacco.

TO cure tobacco so as to develop it's
fragrant flavor is no difficult matter.
The leaf is carefully cut from the stem
as soon as it begins to turn yellow,
which indicates ripeness. The leaves
must be carefully handled, and not
bruised. They are strung by the stems
on stiff wires, twelve or so on each, and
hung up in an airy place, not too dry:
an upper room is good place for them,
or an open attic. There they dry
slowly and fully ripen. They may stay
in this way untila damp day, when they
may be handled without breaking.
They are tied in punches of twelve by
the stalks and slightly spread by twist
ing a strip of a leaf around these
punches, which are called hands. AS
the hands are tied they are laid to-
gether, the tips tapping and the butts
out, in square heap on which piece
of board, for a small quantity, is
placed, and a weight is put on the
board. They stay in this way for sew
eral weeks, warming up to some ex-
tent, and this fermentation, is necessary
to complete the ripening and to develop
the fragrance, and flavor. After again
being dried ENHANCING few days or be-
ing spread, to check the fermentation,
the hands are packed in tight boxes
where they finally cure and became
marketable or disable. Nothing more is
needed for use. But it is a common
practice for home use to dip the leaves
in sweet water. or diluted molasses, and
twist them into a sort Of short ropes,
doubling them and thus making what
is commonly called pig tail This may
be used in this condition for smoking
or chewing. Plug tobacco is made by
laying the leaves, stripped from the:
stems and dipped in sWeetened water,
into suitable moulds and pressing them
under heavy press worked by screw,
until they become solid cakes. arious
sfaYoring stuffs are used by the manu-
facturers Of tobacco foI. sal
