Marrying an English title is not all
honey. 1t depends, though, on the motive
whether the woman feels she is compeusa-
ted by adding a handle to her Christian
name. The transaction may be entirely
for barter, and in that case no sympath by
need be wasted on either party The title
is bought with fortune by the bride. and
if it does not pan out well she must sim
ply regard it as a bad investment like
many another made in business. Now less

affiliations in New York society, married
an English earl of broken down fortune
and health, whose sole claim to distinction
existed in the fact of his associations with
the royal house of England
By the arstocracy he was tolerated be-
cause he was one of them, but outside of
that sacred band he was a nobody; he was
as poor as a church mouse. However, his
great name counted for something and the
rich American widow fancied it would be
Jolly to be countess, when so many New
York women were Ladies Somebody or
other. There was no love lost. evidently,
for the earl threw himself in front of an
express train, or had a fit the coroner

riage settlements, yet the lady scarcely
counted on so brief a tenure of the covet-

The strange marriage of pretty Annie
Jewell, daughter of the late Mexican min
err with the so-caled Black Prince LO-
bengula, engaged at the Savage South At
rican Exhibition, excited much widespread
comment. Lobengula had been persuad-
ed by the manager of the exhibition to
abandon the project. but Annie would have
no denial, and, taking the giant Matabele
into her own hands, forced him TO marry
her. They started ON their honeymoon
to Southampton, joining a Cape Liner to
return to South Africa.
This unpleasant episode. says a cable
gram in the New York World has pro-
vOked numerous vehement protests from
the press against the familiarity displayed
innocently by English girls toward the
Matabeles now performing at Earis Court
Exhibition. The audience is allowed "a
visit the Matabe.es in their savage cos
tune in their kraal, where respecta bic
girls shake hands with them. and somf
in a spirit of braVado even kiss them.
An Afrikander attendant at the kraa
said: IF the girls who allow their hands
20 be pressed by these blacks only under
stood the comments they make amOnE
themselves, they would sink with shame
To US Afrikanders, who know what Mata-
beles are, it is revolving to see white wo-
men allow themselves to be touched by
them, but girls here seem fairly crazy
about these half-naked brutes who re-
ceive their homage and display their limbs
to the enraptured eyes.

The recipe used by the famous singer
Jenny Lind in making her faVor.te soup
has just been discovered. She believed
that it had much to do with the pres
crvation of her voice and keeping her
throat and chest in good condition. She
would entrust its manufacture to no one,
preterring TO see to il herself that il
should be made precisely right. She soak
ed forty-fve grains of pure sage in cold
water for several hours. She then put
1t on the fire TO boil in fresh water, and
when it had reached the boiling point
poured cold water over the sage in a
sieve. Then it was cooked for twenty
minutes with one and one-half spoon
fuls of boullou and carefully skinned
A little salt, pepper, nutmcg, sugar and
cut up parsley were added, and finally
the yolks of two fresh eggs and eight
spoonfuls of hot cream made into a sauce
was put into the soup through a strainer
after 1t had been lifted from The fire. and
all thoroughly worked with a large spoon
Now it was ready to be eaten or drank.
Singers who take soup like this will find
their voices will stand great strain and
retain their sweetness by its aid.
