that resulted in a decree of divorce,
since annulled as illegal on the de-
mand of the present king. In those
days Madame Cristich was very ricn
through her father, and this naturally
constituted in Milan's eyes a great at
traction. But after Milan's abdication
when he was perpetually making de-
mands upon her purse for money to be
spent in gambling, she quarreled with
him and to-day is one of his bitterest
enemies, besides having lost her eye
sight. The lady who now may be said
to occupy the tickle attentions of this
most disreputable of all individuals
who has vel masqueraded under the
title of king, is a blonde Austrian lady
of title, the jjudicially separated wIle
of an Austrian nobleman of ancient
lineage and great name. She is nearer
40 than 80, and spends a considerable
part of the year in the neighborhood of
Vienna, namely at Baden.

This took place in 1883. Within a few

Some of the Reasons why Mrs. Stanford
Did Not Give.
Something of a stir has been made
by Mrs. Stanford's stipulation with the.
trustees of Stanford university that no.
more than 500 girls shall be admitted
to the school, no matter how great the
number of boys. The only reason that
she seemed willing to give was that the
institution was designed for the educa-
ton of young men, not young women,
and that the large proportion Of girls
in attendance threatens to turn the
school eventually into a girls school.
We suspect that the kind-hearted wom-
al has reasons that she thinks might
just as well not be stated. says The
Argonaut. 1t may be of some interest
to speculate on them. Perhaps she re-
concerns of life with which an educa-
ton has most to do. Possibly she
imagines that the good, old way of CIV
ing a girl a seminary or high school
education is sufficient for the needs of
womankind, and of humanity, indi-
rectly. We imagine that she found the
life of a girl in a great institution like
Stanford, where there are hardly any
restrictions upon girls except their
own sense of right (Which experience.
may not always guarantee to be the
best), not calculated to refine and
build her girlhood into strong, dainty,
sweet womanhood. Perhaps she had
an linking of ONE of the things that
girls have to endure, some of the temp
tations to which they are exposed, IN
institutions managed almost exclusive
ly by men. Likely she heard stories
Of girls becoming infatuated with sleek
and unctuous professors. Perhaps she
has taken into account the extreme
susceptibility of young girls, their
p%roneness to ~hero-worship, their ro-
mantle ideals, and the other beautiful
weaknesses that give them a special
charm and make them easy prey. Like
ly she desired to limit the number of
girls thus exposed, and that she hopeo
there would come through the ordeal a
sufficient number of that number to
make good and useful women. Or, pos
sibly, she did not wish to increase the
growing competition between men and
women in the worlds work. Perhaps
she thinks it is right for men to be the
bread winners and for women to be
protected and provided for. There is
a chance that she may have looked for
ward to the time when the present
movement-the "woman's movement
would have SO changed and strained
the mutual relations of the sexes as to
make the progress of civilization more
difficult. Maybe she imagined that men
and women should be partners, not
rivals; that the strong should bear the
heavy burdens of life, the weak the
fine burdens; that as men and women
are created with different attributes,
qualities and capabilities of body, mind
and spirit, each should keep within his
or her roper bounds-each do the
things that nature has set to be done.

The Choctaw Indian, untamed and
only half-civilized though he may be,
has some qualities that stand out
strongly by contrast with the actions of
his white brethren. For instance, a
Choctaw who was under sentence of
death was released on bail, showed up
on punctual time at the execution
ground and was duly disposed of, ac-
cording to Choctaw law, while a Chi
cago politician, out under $4,000
bonds, has not been seen since his case
was called for trial.

The French bureau of agriculture
shows in a recent report that Spain is
more entitled to be called sunny"
than is Italy. About three thousand
hours Of SUNSHINE bless Spain each
year, while Italy is favored with sew

ness and light in which Spain rejoices.
But much depends on the men upon
whom the sun shines. Misty and shad-

Investigation of the subject OF the
distribution of terrestrial magnetism
has led to the conclusion that the seat
of the abnormal magnetiZation Is
within the layer of the earth's crust,
which is subject to temperature var1a-
tions, and that the layer is thin in
deed. To arrive at a clearer concep-
tion of the causes of unsymmetrical
distribution of the earth's magnetism.
the earth is supposed to be, in the first
instance, a uniformly magnetized
sphere, and then it is proposed to de-
duct the theoretical magnetization
from the actual magnetization at cor
responding points on the earth's sur
face. The chart obtained reveals the
existence of three residual magnetic
north poles and three south poles. The
strongest of the north poles is situated
to the east Of Patagonia, the others
being in CHM and the United States.
The strongest residual south pole is In
the French Congo. and the others are
in the Boring Sea and near Tasmania.
The most important result obtained is
the determination that this distribu-
ton of the magnetic Irregularities has
some connection with the abnormal
distribution of temperature.

The insular commission in declaring
that Porto Rico and the Philippines
are not legally American territories,
seems to have arrived at this queer
decision by a confusion of national
and international law. AS a matter of
fac, the commission probably under
stood that such a decision would be
convenient for various reasons and
therefore fitted the law to the facts
rather than the facts to the law.

CITY BUILDING.

The committee on laying new stre ITS
has yet before it PETITIONS for the extern
sion of Central avenue, Deering Center,
and Sawyer street. Woodfords The pro
posed, extension of Central avenue was
to run through Evergreen cemetery and
the question was raised as to whether
land set aside for one public purpose
could be used for another. This question
was referred TO CITY Solicitor Morrill,
for his opinion and while 1t has not yet
been rendered he has decided that in the
present instance the proposed extension
through Evergreen would be legally in-
advisable. The Sawyer street extension
would GROSS the Maine Central and is
now held up by objection from that road.
The committee on public buildings
