manned until her death one of the
house. She was beloved for her good
ness and sweetness of character and
for her homely, domestic virtues. Her
life was filled with good deeds and
zeal for public charities. Royal mar
riages have played SO important a
part in the drama of European history
that Imagination toys with the thought
that the course of the worlds great
events would have been different if the
most famous Of the Princess Mary's
rejected suitors had been successful in
his addresses to her. The alliance with
the English royal house might have
impaired stability to the fortunes Of
Napoleon III. 1t certainly would have
been more influential in European
councils than his marriage with Eu-
genie from an obscure Spanish family.
Napoleon III was by nature an in
triguer who worked in the dark, was
mysterious in his methods, and never
admitted his advisers to his full con-
fidence. He was, however, powerfully
influenced by the empress, who. with
all her brilliant qualities, lacked sound
judgment in public affairs. 1t may or
may not be true that she dragged him
into the Mexican invasion and into
the war with Germany. Certainly the
English princess, with her strong, well
balanced judgment and clear, good
sense would have dissuaded him from
those rash undertakings. The prin
cess influence would have been very
great in Franch affairs. 1t might have
involved different ending to severa.
chapters of European history; but hei
serene character and useful example
have not been wasted in quieter Eng
fish scenes.

Frost-Gripped Gold.

lar. Summer is the best time to pros
pect for new leads, but excavation of
the gravel from shafts and tunnels can
be as well carried on in winter. The
ground at the end of shaft is soft
ened by fire of wood, and then at
tackled with pick. But, instead of
breaking under the blows. it mats TO-
gether, and this tendency renders gun
powder and dynamite comparatively
ineffective in dealing with the frozen
mass. With any less powerful incen-
tive than the CLEAN of gold to spur on
his human antagonist, the Frost King
would doubtless win an easy victory
in so desperate a conflict.

ton was alone at fault She procured the
proper medicine to treat that trouble and
with immediate good results. Her appetite
came back, the choking spells became less
frequent and finally ceased. Her weight,
which had been greatly reduced was re-
stored and she now weighs more than for
her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because

The delicate tints of the average ex,

very plush, furniture largely in white

the palest hues in costly fabrics. The
curious set expression of such room,
as if it were arranged for an exhibition

ally, by the lack Of any sort OF GEN.

Sex In America Are Members.
The last decade of this wonderful
nineteenth century has witnessed a
remarkable and far-reaching move
ment, the gathering into one great
organization of rapidly increasing
number of women, without regard to
class or creed, for the social. intellec-
tual and moral advancement Of hu-
mainly, says Lippincotts. The Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs was
formed at a meeting called by Sorosis
in New York city in May, 1889. Its
phenomenal growth is perhaps best
realized by the consideration of few
cold statistics gathered from the re-
port of the corresponding secretary at
the third biennial of the federation,
held in Louisville last May. From
this report it appears that the 1855
clubs and four state declarations rep
resented two years ago have increased
to 495 clubs and twenty-one state fed
erations, the latter including over 800
clubs. There are. therefore, in round
