Happy Corean Lovers.

The determination of the king o.
Corea to marry again has caused great
rejoicing, as it is not considered polite
for anybody of social staEling in tbA
kingdom to marry while the king is sim
gle. Consequently, the fidelity Of that
monarch to the memory of his muir
dered consort has been making many
other hearts ache, and the interruption
of loves young dream has threatened
serious political results, for even the
astute and autocratic politicians of the
orient find they have to reckon with the
primitive complications of human ma
ture, and that these are times when
even king of sacred dynasty can as
sumo too much responsibility in direct
ing other peoples actions.-Baltimor

The Cool Retort of q Witty Girl to
Her Compliment Fiancee Sets
Him to Thinking.

Among weddings slated for the near fn
ture is that of q clever young lawyer who
has just won for his bride charming girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law.
yer is not without a certain amount of good
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prides himself on being rather favorits
among girls of his acquaintance. Nearly
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demurred. A few
months later he met with a second refusal,
but determined to make one more effort.
BY this time the young woman had come to
regard him with good deal of esteem. This
feeling grew in warmth, and so, when,
week or so ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap
piest man in town.
"And you will be miner" he asked.

the wedding take placer

"There is no use in putting it off,"

II knew that you would realize that yoy
would be happier with me than without me,

his tone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this was
a. good time as any to take him down q
peg or two, for she replied very coolly:
Eyes, do realize it now. You see, paps
is out of town on business good deal, so that
mamma, aunty and / are often quite alone.
] have thought it all over and have come ia
the conclusion that it would be ever so much
safer to have man in the house all the
time"
The accepted lover gasped in astonishmeni
for moment, but then, seeing twinkle in
his adored ones eye, forgave her on the spot,
On the way home, however, he voted that his
future wife would be dangerous customel

INSANITY AND MURDER.
a Subject That Has Given Doctor
and Lawyers Trouble for
Many Years.

1t may be well that man who coulQ
not be called insane, but merely, say
an ordinary member of the criminal
classes, with strong passions and feeble
intellect, would, in the presence of az
opportunity long expected and hoped
for, the consequences of which his
thoughts had frequently rehearsed, be
really for the moment incapable of re.
straining his hand. We should hang
est scruple; and we should waste n.
compassion upon the absence of self
control. 1t is, in fact, impossible to
frame a definition of RESPONSIBILITY
based upon absence of self-control with.
out including all sorts of crimes which
at present are punished by law. For
years back there has been a sort OF
feud between the lawyers and the
alienists on the subject, go that even
the text books speak of legal insanity
and medical insanity as distinct. TIC
take extreme cases, jur;sts have con.
tended that no degree Of insanity
should be exempt from punishment for
crime unless it has reached such &
point that the person is utfrrly uncon.
scious of the difference between right
and wrong at the time of uommittins
the offense, while medical men have
very generally held to the soinion that
this is not a proper criterlor, that many
of the insane are fully conscious of tn.
difference between right and wrong,
and that to enforce such lest meany
the hanging of many lunstic. TherA
can be no doubt that of late years thu
medical view has met With wider &C.
ceptance than it used to On, and tha,
even lawyers have shown @r increasing
readiness to admit the doctrine of ir-
responsibility. But it is a vhry anxious
question, especially in view of recen.
dogmas as to degeneracy, how far this
doctrine is to be allowed tr go.
The condition of affairs is much moro
serious than some people think, and Il
is highly necessary that thsse who ad,
minister the criminal law should be oa
their guard against any insiSious estab-
lishment of immunity for tse violation
OF its most sacred principals. In any
case of murder the presumption in
favor of hanging should be so strong
as to leave very slender prospect of es-
cape for any man who, prior to the COM
mission of his crime, had been thought
fit to be at large. If this cordition can
not be secured, 1t will becorde a matter
of grave necessity to take prompt steps
for the Incarceration of many people
of evil passions who are row at lib
erty, and to render the uSterance o.
threats matter to be dealt With by TIM
alienist as well as by the mssgistrate.-

ONE RED ROSE RENTAL.
A Single Flower Pays the Annual
Rent of the Site of q Church
In Pennsylvania.

On the second Sunday of each June
there is paid to the oldest lineal de-
scendant of the founder of Mannheim,
Baron Henry William Stiegel, the an
nual rent for the plot of ground given
by him more than century and quar-
ter ago for the building of church.
This rent, this yearly tribute, is one red
rose; and it is the payment of this
flower to the heir of the baron that
forms the occasion of the beautiful and
novel celebration, the Feast of Roses"
Mt Mannheim, Pa. The day preceding the
formal ceremonies is observed as gen.
eral holiday, devoted to festivities and
amusements, and to welcoming the
heir. The town is early filed with peo-
pie from the surrounding country, and
by the time set for the coming of the
distinguished guest the streets are
thronged with an expectant multitude.
AS the train draws into the station the
laundering boom of cannon an
nounces its arrival, and in few mo-
ments the honored descendant of the
baron appears in an open carriage pre-
ceded by band of music.
Accompanied with appropriate reli-
gious exercises, with mu bic and ad-
dresses, the simple yet beautiful and
touching ceremony of paying the rent
is performed in the church on the fol-
lowing day. Every space, every nook
within the church is filed with lux
uriant mass of red roses, and through
the open windows peep the blossoms of
the rose vines that climb and cluster on
the outside wall. In the name and in
behalf of the congregation the minister
takes from its silver chalice the rose
that has been specially selected for the
purpose because of its transcendent
beauty and fragrance and presents ii
to the heir of Baron Stiegel in discharge
of the obligation required by the deed.
The recipient takes the rose, and in a
few remarks acknowledges the pay
ment of the debt.-Clifford Howard, in
ladies Home Journal.

Of your mistress!" and with that he
turned and left them standing together
by the roadside.
Jean-Louis flushed at the insult, but
said nothing, and the return was made
in silence. Aline, who usually led the
conversation, was prey to conflicting
thoughts. She thought of her accepted
lover, and then stole glance at the
strong, erect figure beside her. Finally
she said:
SWELL, Jean, only two or three walks
of this kind. and then we will see no
more of each other"
''Is the marriage to be soon, Aline?"
''Yes; in a week."

"Are you happy, Jean ?" persisted the
girl, feeling conscious of vague desire
that he should not be so. For reply he
shrugged his shoulders. At another
time Aline would have dropped the
subject without seeking to find the
meaning of the mans gesture. But
the conversation with Isidore had ir-
ritated her, and in comparison with the
smallness of character displayed by
him the strong simplicity of the mau
beside her seemed more than ever at
tractive.

indifferent manner had dropped from
him like cloak, and his words came as
though forced against his will. Aline
drew back in surprise at the change in
the man. whose voice shook with long
depressed passion.

the sole purpose of being near to you,
waiting on you, and keeping harm from
you. Oh, Aline, why do you torture
me into telling you this?" The excite
ment left his voice, and he turned weari-
ly from her and began to walk slowly
on along the road. She followed him,
her heart beating wildly with emotion.
She had never seen him this way be-
fore. How handsome he had looked
with his blazing eyes and quivering
mouth! How big he was, and strong
and noble! He turned to her just az
they reached the gate, and, taking her
hand in his, said gently: -
II should not have spoken to you, Lit.
tie cousin. Ihad determined to play my
part out to the end, and see, 1 have

me and my poor love, and be happy"

house.

She was caught in two strong arms,
and the rest of her sentence was never
uttered.
"But, little one" said Jean, looking
into the eyes raised to his, "what will
your father say?"
my father loves you and he loves me.
Come and we will tell him."
The next day NJ. Isidore Bersoulin and
NJ. Beaujars had fiery interview. Aline
and Jean-Louis were not present, but
from an upper window they watched
the visitor take an undignified depar-
ture.-Translated from the French, in
