iittie Spanish girl of great beauty
ana personal attractions, who seemed
10 MIN out Of place amid her surround
ings, says the Century. He picked up
tne little wild rose as it grew on the
roadside, and conceived the no.
ton of transplanting 1t. He took
the child to Paris. where he
left her in a convent to be ed
ucated On his return to Paris after
several years Of brilliant campaigning
ne fell in love with her, and, breaking
through all rules of French matrimo-
NAL usage, married her. After several
years of happy married life the general
left her to take command of the army
in Mexico. While he was away on this
expedition the news of her death
reached him. After a funeral mass,
which he heard with his officers, he re-
tired to his tent and, alone, fought the
hardest of battles and conquered his
own heart In few days he returned
to his duty and no one ever knew
what had passed in his innermost soul.
Two years later a ball was given at
the quartiergeneral. Bazzaine, who
had lately been promoted to the rank
OF marshal 1850, had stopped for a
moment to say a few words, when one
of his guests. a young Mexican girl,
who was standing by. suddenly stopped
near us, having torn her dress. Pins
were produced, the damaged ruffle was
repaired and the girl passed on. Who
Is it?" asked the marshal, evidently
much struck with her appearance. 1T
Is extraordinary" he muttered, how
much she reminds me of my wife," He
looked distrait, and shortly afterward
excused himself and wandered on In
the direction Mdlle. de la Pena had
taken. The courtship was short one.
Macmillan, in order to facilitate
union which he deemed to be in the
interest of his government, gave the
young girl as a dowry the palace OF
San Cosme, valued at 100000; and
thus was May united to December. TWO
children were born to the marshal, one
of them in Mexico, and never was faith
er prouder of his young wife and OF
her offspring than was the marshal.

FASHIONS FROM PARIS.

The Russian blouse as an outdoor
garment is very much worn. but not
in fur, as the fashion will be too evan
escent for that.
The skirts are worn 80 very long,
both before and behind, that they are
now carried over the arm, displaying
to great advantage magnificent silk pet
ticoats.
Black and white is a perfect rage,
and is very expensive, as white chiffon
and satin bodices soil most easily, es-
pecially as they are worn under Jackets
and cloaks.
White gloves are still very fashion
able, but they are not so universal as
last season. With gray costumes gray
gloves are worn and with green gowns
tan gloves are seen-
With black dresses brocade petit
coats laden with lace are the latest
mode. The streets Of Paris are 20
much cleaner than ours that all this
silken luxuriance is possible.

The fuckers OF Versailles, Ind, like all
fond parents, are completely wrapped up in
their children. Their daughter, Lucy in
particular, has given them much concern.

girl, three years ago, had become weak and

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
How badness begins.
How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
Of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If a plant fourishes, it must have
constant attention; it must be watered
where 1t is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect Is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruf is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
6ciently nourished, begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such a case Is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength.
