ROMANTIC I0VE.
The Reasons Why tDoes
Not Survive Marriage
and Motherhood.

Hero and Leander are the abiding
types of romantic affection. Regard
less of rheumatism Leander nightly
swan the Hellespont to see the fair
maiden, Hero, whom he loved. And
careless of draughts and cold feet, Hero
stood with a guiding lamp, waiting to
welcome her wet and dripping lover.
Unhappily Leander tried the trip once
too often and was drowned.
But suppose Leander had lived and
marriage had consummated this ro-
mantle affection. Would the lovers
have been happy? Fancy Leander
with the rheumatism, doing and
grumbling in the chimney lug" and
Hero with her back aching and heart
aching. wondering what she ever saw
in him to marry.
Such things have been and will again
be the outcome of a romantic love.

out the promise of romantic love, the

married to French noblernen, and,
while only a few of these belong to the
Faubourg st. German set. even those
who adorn the more ostentatious but
less exalted circle are not likely to ex-
tend much social recognition TO their
countrywomen. The Faubourg set il
cludes the members of the old noblesse,
descendants of the Borbone aristoc-
racy, and recognizes not at all the titles
of the Napoleonic era. Very few Of
the members of this circle have allied
themselves with American dollars.
They live in proud aloofness from ev-
erything that concerns republican
France. OF all the aristocrats in the
world, it is one of the most difficult TO
enter. The Duchess de Ia Rochefpu-
cauld, who was Miss Matte MontgDm-
cry, of Louisiana, is one of the figures
in the Faubourg set. Her American
sympathies are few, and she is NOT
likely to put herself out to any extent
for visiting Americans. Her sister IS
the wife of the Count de Sully-Bethune,
another ancient family which has been
restored to prosperity by American dol
lars. Among the other AmetiEtln wo-
men in French society may be NEIL
toned the Princess P~aniatowshi, who
was Miss Elizabeth Sperry, OF San
Francisco; the Countess &c T%robriand,
who was Miss Mary Jones, Of New
York; the Baroness Fontilliot, who was
Mrs. j. Field, of Philadelphia; the
Countess de Sores, who vas Miss Mary
Niven, a step-daughter of one of the
late Commodore Vanderbilt's laugh
tiers, and Comtesse Langier-Villars,
who was Miss Garcia Livingston, Of
New York. Others among The Frencf
titled ladies whose native place is
America are the Duchess ae Campo
Selice, the widow of the famous lnven>
tor, Isaac Singer. Her title was pHr-
chased for her husband, not inherited
by him, for he was a poor singer before

The Antiuuitx of Wan.
London Times.

LONDON Times.
Sir John Evans dealt with the an
tiquity Of man, with special reference
to the stone age in Egypt, in a pres
idential address delivered by him at
the Birmingham and Midland Institute
recently. He said that forty years
ago the almost universal belief of
those who had but specifically ap-
preached the question was that a lit
eral Interpretation was to be placed
IN the opening chapters Of the Book
of Genesis, and that the chronology of
Archbishop USHER and others in fix
ing the creation Of man at the year
4004 d. G. was beyond all reasonable
question. 1t was not until 1859, when
the subject was investigated by the
late Sir Joseph Prestwich himself and
others, that the presence of objects
of human workmanship in association
with the remains of extinct mammals
in beds of gravel sand and loan was
almost universally regarded as an es-
tablished fact. The long continued
studies of Joseph Landon, of Saltley
College, Birmingham, had resulted in
his discovery in the gravels OF the
Valley of the Rea of an implement of
the same general type as those from
many other valley graves in England
and France, but formed from a brown
quartzite pebble and not, as usual,
Clipped out of flint. If further dis
coveries of this kind were made our
present views as to the northern linn
its of the existence of sucn implements
would have to be materially modified,
and the area over which discoveries
of this character were made might
be considerably extended. Assuming
that the occupation of the earth by
man had been continuous, there must
at some time or other have been a
transition from the paleolithic stage
culture of the n%eolithic. but of such
transition little trustworthy indica-
tions had as yet been found, and over
a great Part of Europe, at all events
there appeared to be "a great gull
ixeu," which at present it was i'm
possible to bridge over in a satisfac-
tory manner

DR.. McTavish was something Of a
ventriloquist. and it befell that he
wanted a lad to assist in the surgery,
who must necessarily be of strong
nerves
He received several applications, and
when telling a lad what the duties
| were, in order to test his nerves, he
would say, while pointing to a grinning
skeleton standing upright in a corner:
Part of your work would be to feed
the skeleton there. and while your are
here you may as well try to a have to DO.
A few lads would consent to a trial,
and received a basin of hot cruel and
a spoon.
While they were pouring a hot mass
into the skull the doctor would throw
his voice so as to make it appear to
toner, and gurgle out:
"Gr-r-r-gr-h-uh, That's hot"
This vas too much, and without ex-
ception the lads dropped the basin and
bottled.
The doctor began to despair of ever
getting a suitable helpmate until a
small boy came, and was given the
basin and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say:
"Gr-r-r-hr-h-uh, That's hot."
S~hoveling in the scalding Cruel as
fast as ever, the boy raped the skull
and impatiently retorted:
Well, jist blow ont, ye auld bony,,"
The doctor sat down on his chair and
fairly reared, but when the laugh was
over he engaged the lad on the spot.

American will make a heroic
the exposition lasts. There has been
ample evidence of this in the way those
OF wealth and fashion are setting up
establishments in the city on tAe Seine.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, who is a member
of the international commission, has
taken a handsomely furnished place
on the Avenue du Trocadero, and Mrs.
Mccormick, of Chicago, has taken an
other, where the millions made in
reaping machines will be judiciously
applied to showing the Parisians how
Chicago entertains. Mrs. Ferdinand w.
Peck, wife of the commissioner gem
eral. has an elegant suit of apartments
in the Elysee Palace hotel, and, with
the assistance of her daughter, expects
to prosecute a vigorous social cam
paign. In fact, it looks though the
transient leaders of American society
in Paris will consist of ladies from
Chicago, for the wives OF the officials
and those interested in the fair are 50
largely Windy City people that it is
evident that they wiz be dominant
factors in social affairs.

There are a great many offers of

sponsible people. These offers are so
worded as to imply that the medical
advice offered is that Of a competent
physician. Ii Is wise to examine avery
such offer, whether made by man or
woman, and learn whether the advice
offered is that of a physician or only
the advice of some unskilled. un-
qualified person who cannot be DE-
pended upon and which may prove to
be dangerous. Keep It In mind that
only q doctor can give reliable medical
advice. and avoid those who, having no
medical knowledge and being legally
barred from practicing medicine. yet
make specious but spurious offers OF

THE HELPFUL ELDER SISTER.
She Brought a DiRident Swain Safe
Iy and Successfully Through a
Critical Period.

Louisville Courier-Journal SAYS: If
gossip does not err, a certain young
man of Louisville, whose engagement
was announced some weeks age owes
his happiness to the helpful DISPOSE
ton of the elder sister of his afhanced.
For several years he has been pay
ing such marked court at the shrine
of his divinity that she and every one
else that had watched the develop
ment of the affair knew the state Of
mind and heart that the wooer had
not the courage to declare. The
maiden's elder sister is what is known
as practical" Seeing that the happi-
ness of both was likely to be lost al
together or at least materially de-
layed through the hesitation of the
lover, she met him at the door not 50
long ago, and said: Il want to talk
to you myself for just a few minutes
before Dulcinea M down. You
are in love with her, and | know she
cares for you, and if you two can't fix
it up, why | will. I'm going to give
you fifteen minutes to tell her what
you've been trying to for more than
TWO years. At the end of that time
I'm coming into the parlor, and if you
haven't made your confession, I'll
make it for you
Dulcinea came down. The elder sis
ter departed. at the end OF a quar-
ter of an hour she returned.
Have you told herr"
We'll you see, l haven't had time
just yet" came the reply.
All right. Dulcinea, Mr.. Long
waite wants to marry you, but he can't
summon up courage enough to tell You
so. Am right. Mr.. Longwaite?
a nod of assent was all he was able
TO give, for at that moment Dulcinea,
who may or may not have been pre-
pared, placed her hand in that OF Mr..
Longwaite, and then the creator OF
their happiness retired.
After a discreet interval there came
a knock at the door, and the proposer
and disposer entered.
DO Won want me to call father, Mr..
Longwaite?" said she.
Cant We wait until tomorrow for
that?" asked Mr.. Longwaite.
Il think we had better not, and, as
he is upstairs now, I'll call him"
When paterfamalias turned up Mr..
Longwaite was stricken dumb. a sec
end time the strong-minded maiden
came TO the rescue, and asked for her
sisters hand for the silent wooer. Pa
terfamilias, like Barkis, was willin'."
Whether or not Dame Gossip has the
details correctly, the fact remains that
the banns have been published.
