The many friends and well-wishers OF

events Of the year. will be somewhat sur
prised to learn that European astrologers
predict her great unhappiness in married
life, and even go so far as to say that.
no matter whom she married she could
not escape this unhappiness
Persons who are not superstltious will
laugh at this prediction. but those who
are superstitious will naturally wonder
how much truth there Is in the prophecy
and viii be especially curious To know on
what grounds IL is based.
AS TO It's truth no evidence is likely to
be forthcoming until few years have
passed. but the grounds on which the
prediction is based can be readily eX-
planned.

Mrs. Thompson left Monte Carlo quite
a while ago on j. III. Hanan's steam

While the correspondence at hand
makes mention of some unusual Incl

Queen wilheluina was born on an cx-
ceedingly unlucky day, 20 far as matri-
monial happiness iS concerned.
After drawing attention TO the fact that

the moon was afflicted by Jupiter. Her

Baseball is becoming popular In

ly owing to tbs efforts Of the many

ries OF intsr-colonial baseball matches
the contestants being Victoria and
New South Wales, both Of which colo
MES possess organized baseball asso-
Citations. The games were played In
Sydney and the home nine won two
out OF three. The New South Wales
side included Victor Trumper, NJ. A.

England. ard among tho Victorians

Frank LAYER. Donnan of the 1898

LIVE IN BLISS.
Mlstresses and Maids In Perfect Accord

in Queensland.
Queensland has the distinction Of
being the only spot on earth where
mistresses and maids never quarrel
and the domestic life there Is de-
scribed by Mrs. Douglas Campbell OF
England, who has just returned from
q visit to that country, as an Ideal one.
In that country, she says. the do
nestle servant betters herself In every
way. She has higher wages. more
leisure, more Nberty and she Is cared
for better than in any other country.
The mistress assists her to establish
a home of her own, and her success
is all the easier because she can afford
to dress herself becomingly. NO
Queensland mistress ever refuses her
maid permission to attend balls or to
20 to concerts Or theaters, and very
often the mistress does the work in or
der that her servant may have share
in the good things of this life. Wom-
en- who are willing to go into the bush
and work on q station are treated with
even more consideration. There Is
scarcely any difference between her
and the familv;n which she lives. She
has a horse to ride, drives with the
family to church. is asked out and
taught music. Mrs. Campbell adds
that Queensland is no place for lazy
or pretentious girls. They must be
prepared to use their brains and think
for themselves, then success Is certain.
I'm England" she concludes. 1.-The ser
want is part OF system. In Australia
she is a member of the household. and
the mistress holds herself responsible
for her comfort and. happiness"
