NATIONAL PARK PROJECTS.

The following resolutions concerning
the Minnesota national park project were
adopted at the thirty-fourth annual ses-
sion Of the Minnesota State HOMEOPATHIC
institute on May IT:
Whereas. A committee Of this insti-
tuition appointed by DR.. E. L. Mann, then
president, visited in the fall of 1898 the
forest region about Leech lake and re-
ported favorably in the public press upon
the project for a great public forest
reservation in that beautiful region: and
Whereas, This project has been taken
up by the State Medical society, the
Federation of Wcman's Clubs, the State
Forestry association, and others, and
pushed forward into national prominence
until a formal beginning has been made
by the passage in the United States sen.
ate of a bill creating a congressional
commission to visit the region and de-
eide upon the feasibility of the PROPOSE
ton. and report back to Washington by
next year;
Therefore. be 1t resolved That we,
the members of the Minnesota State
homeopathic institute, hereby declare
ourselves heartily in favor of the move
mert, believing thoroughly in its i'm
portant physical and financial bearing
upon the future Of the state, and we do
hereby pledge ourselves to personally aid
earliest possible moment since nowhere
but in the vicinity OF Leech and SCasa
lakes is there now remaining In This
great state a fine body of standing pine
suitable for a great forest reserve"

Following this is a defense Of love mar

happy in novels-sympathy is all that is

those who have a heart must feel that
in marriage something more is wanted
than social convenience or a fine balanc-
ing of fortunes and rank.
'Why else has nature given the heart
such an ardent wish for love? Why
else do we dream or feel exalted, why
do we seek moral beauty and why does 1t
fill our heart with ineffable joy? If it is
all false, useless, ridiculous. surely those
are at fault who have taught us to love-
''It is not at all necessary that a love
match should prove unhappy-the very
reverse, 1 think. should be the rule, es-
pecally If the affection Is pure and born
of hearts worthy of each other, united
by continuous tenderness, nourished by
respect, which dies only with the cherish
ed person to rise again beyond the tomb
When one has suffered beyond certain
limits no human remedy can bring about
forgetfulness and confidence" she says
in enc place, bat later she takes cour-
age and exclaims:
There are only two doctors in the
world who can Danish the darkness Of
the soul-death and love"
She appears to triumph over her own
lack of courage when she says:
1.-The world is a great stupid and a
coward-it pays attention If you speak
with a firm voice and does not dare to
attack you if you know how to inspire
fear"
: The confession of new love is easy
after this. and the writer says:
Here everything whispers to me of
you. Every leaf, for it has sheltered you
every blade of grass, for you have pass
ed your hand over 1.-THE moss your foot
has trodden. the flower that has smiled
upon you, the bird whose song charmed
your ear. the breath of the wind that
caressed your temple. Here all cries out
for you like my heart-for all love you as
1 do"
She even confesses to having prayed
ct the foot of an altar in a remote
French village where the girls. dressed
in their Sunday clothes. pray for hus-
band whom they can love.

Crown Princess Stephanie has written a
book, and all Vienna is reading it, says
the Vienna correspondent Of the New
York World. Love is it's principal theme
She Is no longer called Crown Princess
Stephante, but Countess Lonyay. For love
of an obscure nobleman she gave up her
proud position at the Austrian court and
resigned herself to life in a Hungarian
castle.
Proud as her position at court was, 1t
was not happy one. Stephanie had never
recovered from the humiliation Of the
Crown Prince RudoIph's suicide, and the
attitude of the royal family was not such
as to heal her wounds
Married at sixteen, a mother at nine
teen, she was only twenty-five years old
when she husband Shot himself in rage
and despair at being unable to get rid
of her in order to marry Marie Vetsera,
the girl he loved
In her book, Thoughts, Experiences
and Impressions" the tragedy Of her
married and widowed life finds abundant
expression. But Vienna Is most interested
in searching for passages bearing upon
the happiness that has come to her in her
love for Count Lonyay; and these are not
difficult to find. Here is something about
love at first sight:

TWO MINING STORIES.
How One Rich Claim Was Lost and
Another Gained.

Orleans who lived for a number of years
in the West. You remember, of course
Mark Twain's story of the bonanza that
he and his partner lost in Virginia City
because each depended on the other to
record the title. 1 dare say that yarn
was founded on fact; at any rate It re
minds me of Il singular episode for which
1 am able to vouch personally. In 1879
an old prospector named Joe Dixon dis
covered a fine outcropping of horn sill
YER near Carbonate, Col. In order to
hold a claim under the mining law as il
then stood 1t was necessary to stake it
OUT; that is to say, drive stakes at the
corners, with name and date written on
one Of them, and sink shaft at least
ten feet deep during the first year
Dixon and a partner who was with him
at the time saw they had a good thing
and proceeded to DO the necessary work

runs thus:
'Sleep, my child sleep in peace. In
your dreams you must be hearing the
