years they troubled me very much with
dull aching pain across my back and in my
loins. If stoo&on my feet for any length

European Princesses Arc All Good
It would be hard to find in all Ger
many q princess who is notea good
cook and housekeeper. For more than
a hundred years the daughters ofFuI-
ers in Germany have been carefully
trained in these arts. Empress HAu-
gusta Victoria took lessons in cooking
when she was a young girl, and6she
was also so skilled as a dressmaker
that even after she became empress
she had her attire made under Eher
own personal supervision. Grand Dpch-
ess Louise Of Baden told her only
daughter, Princess Victoria, wife Of
the crown prince of Sweden, never to
forget that every woman, whether
she lives in a palace or cottage,
should be careful housekeeper and a
perfect COOK Princess Victoria did
not forget this lesson, and theresare
few better housekeepers or cooks than
she is. Some of the princesses of Eng
land are trained nurses, and the Prin-
cess OF Wales is a skilled bookbinder.
The queen mother of Holland took care
that her only daughter, Wilhelmina,
should be carefully instructed in the
domestic arts, and as result it is said
that the young lady is not only a good
cook but also an excellent laundress.
When she was a child her greatest de-
light was to wash and iron her own
clothes She also learned how to knit,
but was not patient enough for such
work. when I become queen I'll see
that the poor people, who work so
hard and get so little, are well treated"
she said one day when she found that,
do what she would, she made no prog
ress. with her knitting. AT the court
of Vienna the young people are care
fully instructed in foreign languages.
After Emperor Francis Joseph became
engaged to Princess Elizabeth of Ba-
varia, one of his first acts was to fur
nish her with teachers who were to
instruct her in the Italian, Hungarian
and Bohemian languages, and great was
his satisfaction when he was Informed
in a short time that his betrothed was
making excellent progress in those Ian
guages. The queen mother, however,
was not yet satisfied. She remem-
bered that the Emperor Of Austria was
also King of Poland, and she insisted
that the future empress should also
learn Polish.

suaar Plums, PastilIes, ana Burnt Al
monds Date Back to W. ii. e.
The most popular and most ancient
/ OF bonbons are sugar plums, pastilles
/ and burnt almonds, but how many
persons know their history? Sugar
plums date from Roman times. for
the Romans were the first to think Of
covering almonds with layers Of sugar
The inventor was a certain Julius
Dragatus, a noted confectioner, who
belonged to the illustrious patrician
T FAMILY OF Fabius. He made this great
A., discovery, which has wrought SO much
damage to our teeth for twenty CEN
turtles, in the year III B. C. ~:
Ihese bonbons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees in French), re-
manned the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius. But. at the birth or
the marriage of one of that family a
great distribution of dragati took
place as sign of rejoicing. This GUS
tom is still observed by many Of the
nobility Of Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin,
having been invented and introduced
into FRANCE by an Italian confectioner,
the Florentine John Pastilla, a pro-
tege of the Medicis. When Marie de
Medici married Henry w. Of France
Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to
the French court, where his bonbons
had tremendous vogue. Everybody
wanted the Florentine's pastilles, and,
strange to say, they were perfection
from the beginning. He made them
with all kinds of f1avors- chocolate,
coffee, rose, violet, mint, wine, straw
berry, raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope,
carnation!
Burnt almonds are purely Of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony of certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis-Pralin, an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, his
chief confectioner, and promised him
great price for some new sweet that
would please his palate, dulled as it
was by all the pleasures of the table.
Lassagne, who had already invented
many toothsome dainty, was a man
of resource. He searched, he reflected,
he combined, until finally he conceiv-
ed delicious bonbon, which he bap-
tized gloriously with the name of his
master Praline, the French for burnt
almond.
This is the history of the invention
of bonbons, for all others are mere
combinations or developments of these
three-the sugar plum, the pastille and
the burnt almond.-New York Herald

Decorative Destruction.

The earl of Wemyss writes to the
London Times about "the decorative
destruction of St. Paul's cathedral.
No other term,' he says, "adequately
describes what is there being done by
the hand of the vandal decorators OF
our own day-the vandals in question
being the dean and Sir w. B. Rich
mond, R. A., plus small committee OF
taste.'' We pause for the vandals
reply. But there is worse behind. One
of Lord Wemyss' friends is a member
of the COMMITTEE of taste,'' and when
his lordship demonstrated with him
on the vandalisms for which he is re-
sponsible" he replied, "Ah, if you only

LONG LIVES,
Statfsticians Say That Women Out1lv<

Statisticians Say That Women Outlive
1t is strange but true that the most
delicate child often outlives his strong
er brother or sister. Many instances
are on record of the long survival of
those who seemed destined to die early.
1t is said of Voltaire, who lived to be
"a years old, that he was so delicate
at birth he could not be baptized for
several months. Sir Isaac Newton, the
doctors said, would not live a week,
but he celebrated his eighty fifth birth
day. Fontanelle lived to be 100, al
though he was so frail at birth that
the priest had to go to his home to
baptize him. Even more interesting
than this is the statement by Prof.
Buchner that it is possible for a wom-
an to preserve her youthful beauty
even to old age, or, in some instances,
to regain it. The Marquise of Mira
beau died at So with all the marks of
youth in her face. Margaret Verdun

: hair grew again and her third set of

dentition are not rare The professor
has still further hope for the fair sex
in the announcement that women live
longer than men. One French woman,
Marie Prioux, who died in 1888, was
said to be 15S years old. Statistics Of
the various countries on this point are
remarkable. In Germany, only 413 Of
1000 males reach the age of SO, while
more than 500 of 1000 females each
that age. In the United States there
are 1858 female to 1893 male centen-
arians. In France, of ten centena-
rians seven were women and only three
men. In the rest of Europe, of twenty
one centenarians sixteen were women.
The oldest person now living is held
to be Annie Armstrong, who is III
years old, and lives in little town in
County Clare, Ireland.
