TWO LITTLE ROMANCES.

A lady who attended the church of a
well-known London clergyman com
planned to him that she could not con-
tinue to go to his church, as a gentle
man, member of the same congrega-
ton, stared at her so persistently. The
clergyman demonstrated with the man
about it, but he said she had such a
sweet face he could not help looking
at her. The clergyman soon after, to
his great surprise, was requested 10
perform the marriage ceremony for
this very couple.
A marriage in Australia took place
under peculiar circumstances. A
young man used to receive nice letters
from his young sister, which he some
times showed to his friend, a chaplain:
he also showed him her photograph.
The chaplain became captivated, and
asked if the sister could not be per-
suaded to come out, and he wrote and
proposed to her. In the course of time
an acceptance arrived, and when the
vessel was expected by which the sis
ter was to arrive the brother and the
chaplain got leave to go and NEE;
her, but when the brother saw who
had come he exclaimed in despair.
Its Maria!" Not the pretty young
sister, but one twenty years older. But
as she had come so far the chaplain
did not like to ship her back again,
and so suecumbed to his fate.

OF feminine beauty and charm cap,
tured whole army post and fascinat-
ed every man, from the commanding
officer down to the privates. Where
upon the wives, sisters and sweet
hearts OF the post set about the fem
mime, IL not estimabie task, of looking
up the charmers past life, and the only
fact which gave them especial pleasure
was that of discovering her to be half
hundred years old, despite her beauty
OF face and form.
When the American girl in her
teens falls in love, however well devel-
oped her physical charms may be, her
powers of loving are yet immature.
There is scarcely one case in one hun
dred which can be found to disprove
this statement. A young girl is fascin-
ated by man of fashion, by a mus
tache, by fine dancer, and she al
lows her sentiment to dominate her
| good sense. Oftentimes she is swept
away by the eloquent pleadings of a
fluent tongue and speaking eyes, and
she mistakes her soul Of being loved
for the love of a lover. After the
honeymoon Is over and the realities OF
| life begin to engage the attention OF
both parties the wife sees the man as
he is--a mere boy often, who, save In
the role of Romeo, is utterly devoid OF
interest or attraction and who is quite
her inferior in every respect.
1T is then the tragedy Of life be-
gins for her. A woman of % or 80
judges ulen from an entirely different
standpoint, and is capable of a depth
OF feeling wholly unknown to the girl
OF Is or 20. Her nature is ripper, her
emotions more intense, her judgments
more mature. An old lady of 20 told
me she had been three times married.
She was stranger to me and SCENE =
greatly surprised when / remarked:
And you loved your second husband
best of the three?'
YES she said, but how did you
known
Il explained that my conclusion was
formed on general principles. The
woman who has been married three
times usually begins early-too early
to know what real love is. Her choice
is usually one of caprice or accident.
Her second marriage would under or
binary circumstances occur in her
3O's, and it would be a marriage based
on strong, magnetic attraction. The
third husband would more than likely
be selected merely as a companion for
her declining years-one to whom she

dent love. The lady confessed my es-
innate to be entirely correct in her
case, and l have no doubt it is a safe
summary of all three-ply married
lives"

climate and the type before replying.
Climate exerts a great influence on
the physique, the morals. the mind and

Italy or Spain or southern France.
However, as the American woman

FASHION NOTES.
Attractive Decorations Employed liz

Gray is decidedly fashionable tint,
and the old ashes of roses tone is be-
ing revived--a pinky gray approach
ing lilac. Plum color and veronese
red are two other colors seen in the
new goods which are likely to be
much worn. Materials with horizontal
stripes are enjoying high favor, as are
also horizontal lines of trimming on
bodices and skirts of plaid goods.
Rich applications are the most i'm

fabrics, and some of the new evening
tulles and gauzes have elaborate in
crustations of silk, satin or lace en-
broidered upon them most delicately.

ENORMOUS MASToDoN TUSl
Recovered From the Ice of the mol
at Cost of Two Lives.

A pair of mastodon tusks, the larg
and most perfect specimens Ell
found, were brought to this city
Gently on the whaler Bonanza, and
in the possession of the H. Lieb
Company. They measure 1OS inch
in length on the outer curve, 81 !
inches in the inner curve and Is inchd
in circumference about two feet from
the base, 171a inches in the middle and
1412 inches two feet from the point
they weigh little over 103 pounds
each, or an aggregate of 207 pounds.
The weight of the ordinary tusk is
about twelve pounds pair, and their
market value from so to 60 cents a
pound, according to the size and clear
ness of ivory. The commercial value
of these mammoths is beyond compu-
tation, owing to their rarity. They
were found few miles from Point
Barrow, where the company main
tains supply station for it's whalers
and fur hunters, and two lives were
sacrificed in digging them out of the
ice in which they were imbedded, six
teen feet below the surface.
The following account of the find
was sent to the company by its agent
at Point Barrow: "a party of natives
in the company's employ started from
the station, early last spring, to carry
supplies to some hunters, who were
collecting furs for the company. About
ten miles from the station, while trav-
cling over the ice, they discovered, ac-
cidentally, some foreign substance
deeply imbedded in one of the foes.
which looked like flaw in clear
gem. They started to dig, and it
took three days of axing and chiseling
to reach the points of the huge tusks.
Two of the natives lost their lives be-
fore the tusks were clear of the ice.
One of them stepped back and fell into
cTevice made by himself and his
companions, one of whom jumped 10
his assistance, and went down into the
sea, never to rise again. The others
saw that they would share the same
fate and made no further attempt 20
rescue the two unfortunates. After
they had secured their lind the natives
returned to the station. The joy over
their success was greater than the sor-
row over the death of two companions
who persisted. Getting additional men,
sleds and dogs, they went back and
brought their treasure to the station. -"
The enormous size and weight of
these tusks establishes the oft-asserted
theory of the immense animals which
existed in those regions in prehistoric
times. An animal that could walk
about comfortably, carrying 201
pounds weight in its upper jaw must
have been of immense Dulk and

REWARD OF LOYALTY.

Gen. Guy V. Henry, governor gen.
eral of porto Rico, has issued a state
ment to tho people on the island de-
claring that it is his intention to fill
the offices under his disposal with ma
tive Porto Ricans, and asserting that
the clamor of Americans for office
must stop The statement is issued
from his headquarters in San Juan,
and contains the following:
cit is my intention to see that all
obnoxious Spanish laws existing here
are repealed, such as usurial taxation
on property, excessive notary fees
and the prevention of American law
yers being admitted to the bar when
properly presented in writing. Any
action on the part of officials in Office
to the prejudice of Americans or
American methods of progress will be
reported to me. I will not continue
in Office any such non progressive or
prejudiced person.
"Complaints in regard Ito the Gus
toms or tariff regulations will have to
be made to Capt. Buchanan, who is in
charge of the custom house of the ISL
and.
"Porto Ricans will be preferred for
office. Those Porto Ricans who have
gone to the United States and receiv-
ed an education and are capable of
filling places in this island will be Sc
lected first; Americans next in order.
''It is not my intention to put in Of
fee Spanish or Spanish sympathizers.
This is an island of Porto Ricans, and
will be so considered. Americans
must understand that this island is
not one of conquest, but was surren-
dered to the United States by the Por-
to Ricans, who have been loyal to the
government of the United States, and
I.propose to consider them for office
as such in the future.
CATER the country is organized and
put in form under proper laws, if
the Porto Ricans desire to elect Amer
leans to office, that will be their bus
mess and the Americans good for
tune. This clamor for Office on the
island by Americans to the prejudice
of educated Porto Rlcans must STOP"
