SAD END OF ROMANCE.
Pretty Virginia Girl who Was Maid,
Wife and Widow in the Space
of Ten Minutes.

Ten minutes was the brief space of
time in which Miss Mildred Deuel., of
Richmond, Va, counted the stages of
life which most women reckon by
years. In that short while she was a
maid, wife and widow, and the ro-
nance which had filled her dreams
had been realized and shattered. She
became Mrs. Richard Miles Stanton
while her husband was dying, a victim
of fever contracted in the service Of
his country in the Philippines.
Three years ago Miss Deuel., the
daughter of a theater manager in
Richmond, became engaged to young
Stanton. She was but II years old,
and the objections of her parents ruled
the young people when they talked of
marriage. A year later the young man
obtained commission as lieutenant in

A physician has been investigating
some of the effects of direct sunlight
on the skin. Painting band on his
arm with India ink, he exposed the
member to scorching sun. The usual
painful effects followed, except be-
meath the band, where the skin re-
NAMED white and unaffected. He sug-
gests that the tan which continued
exposure produces upon the skin is
protective effect. If further expert
ments establish this interference, a
further hypothesis will be rendered
probable, namely, that the power ac-
quired by the human skin in the trop-
les of secreting a pigment is really
protective of its lower and functional
ly active layers. Offhand one would
be apt to conclude that black skin
ought to increase the heat effects of
the solar radiance. We are required
now to learn whether the harm is re-
ally done by the heat rays, for con
celVably it may be due to any other
of the diverse sorts of vibration of
which that radiance is now known to
be a highly complex phenomenon

the volunteer army, and was sent to
fight the Filipinos.
Love is not governed in its intensity
according to distance, however, and
the miles between Lieut.. Stanton and
Miss Deuel. served but to increase the
affection they entertained for each
other. Their parents agreed to their
marriage upon his return to this coun-
try, and with the sole purpose of greet
ing her soldier hero Miss Deuel. went
to California a few weeks ago.
The transport came into the harbor
at San Francisco, and Lieut. Stanton,
emaciated almost beyond recognition
and weakened to helplessness, was
among the passengers. His arrival,
through mistake in the transmission
of an order of the war department,
was two weeks earlier than anticipated
by Miss Deuel., and the greeting which
Lieut.. Stanton had looked forward to
was denied him.
Nearly week had passed, and Lieut..
Stanton showed no sign of improve
ment. Then came day when the hos
pital was being visited by large party
of San Francisco people. In the party
was Miss Deuel., keenly sympathetic
as she remembered the sweetheart for
whom she was waiting. A pause by
cot, faint exclamation of surprise,
and moment later the two young peo-
pie were clasped in each others arms.
Lieut.. Stanton rallied from his fever
for few days, and the doctors said
he was on the road to recovery. His
fiancee was his constant attendant,
and the story of their romance spread
through every ward in the hospital.
One evening messenger summoned
Miss Deuel. from the residence of her
grandparents with a message stating
that Lieut.. Stanton was sinking rap
idly and could not live until morning.
few minutes after her arrival at
the hospital the young officer, in the
presence of his mother and sisters, ex-
pressed the desire to make Miss Deuel.
his wife, so that she might inherit his
property. There was no time to be
lost, and it was too late to summon a
minister. Clasping each others hands
the young people took the vows of mat
rimony under a civil agreement. which
was duly witnessed by the relatives Of
both, and few minutes later Lieut..
Stanton was dead.

LOndOn's Afflicted.

London has its due proportion of
those who are crippled by loss of
sight or hearing. OF the former there
are 1886, which marks a slight in
crease since 1891, tendency which is
more marked in the case of the deaf
and, therefore, dumb-who number
2,057. About quarter of the for
mer, so great have been the strides
made in the instruction of persons
thus afflicted, are able to engage in
some occupation, while half of the
deaf are in similarly fortunate po-
sition. Of the blind, 1872 were work
ers in willow, cane or rush, 90 were
musicians, 76 costermongers, 40
brush or broom makers and As mu-
steal instrument makers or tuners.
Of the deaf and dumb, "a were tail
ors, u boot and shoe makers and II
dressmakers; SIS were engaged y in
laundry and washing service, A were
domestic indoor servants and 40 book
binders.-Detroit Free Press.

TOO MUCH DRAPERY.
Curtains should BE Used sparingIy
as They Are Detrimental to
Hygienic Safety.

"The crusade against the tendency
of the modern housekeeper to swathe
herwindows and doors in draperies has
not half been preached" said SAN
itary expert the other day. 81 go into
houses, many of them, and into small
flats, where triple layer of curtains
shuts out air and sunlight from the
apartment about as completely as If
the windows were solid wall. When I
scold, the chatelains say: we must
have curtains and draperies, they are
so artistic | will concede one set Of
thin curtains at certain windows of
the house, with preferably none in bed
rooms or nurseries. If thin curtains
are needed in a bedroom they should
be of a fabric that can be easily laun-
dered, or of a weave of lace that may
be kept free from dust by light brush
ing and shaking out of the open win
dow. To persons with asthmatic or
consumptive tendencies they are a
menace that should not be permitted.
Sanitation should be taught in schools
of design for house furnishings. 1t is
absurd to think that our clever artists
cannot combine attractive effect with
hygienic safety" Troy IN. W Times.

CHIEF OF O'BRIENS.
Honor Held by Lord Inchiquin of
Dromoland Castle.
One of the Oldest of Irish Families
Whose History Dates Back Many
Centuries-The story of
MORA Rhu.

Lord Inchiquin, the head of one of
the oldest families in the Irish peer
age, will be a conspicuous figure at
the coronation Of King Edward VII.
Dromoland castle, the seat of Luz
cius, fifteenth Lord Inchiquin, is in
County Clare, in the south of Ire
land. 1t was built about 70 years ago
of fine hand-cut gray limestone and
ON the site of the old Elizabethan
manor house which had taken the
place of the old castle, chosen orig
inally as the family residence of the
O'Briens when they migrated from
Leamanagh castle, which was sit
uated in a remoter part of Clare.
The present peers grandfather
succeeded his kinsman (the third
marquis of Thomond) in the COS,
when the marquisate of Thormond
and earldom of Inchiquin lapsed, only

family passing to the present pos

the right forever to quarter the scar

these honors resigned the chieftain-

these Miss Hanna has always been his
most ardent admirer.
1t is said that Parsons first became
intimate with Senator Hanna through
his striking cartoons. 1t is more than
likely, however, that he came within
the senator's favor through the devo-
ton of Miss Mabel, from whom he had
derived his chief source of inspiration.
Pike" Parsons, as he is Familiarity
called by his fellow students, entered
the antique class of the Cleveland art
school in 1897 and continued in the
class of the following year. Then he
was taken in hand by Miss Anna Wal
worth, a woman we'll known in art cir
cles at Cleveland, and at her sugges-
ton studied in New York and Phil
adelphia.
Miss Mabel and Parsons have been
most devoted couple during the last
few years. Their intimacy was formed
in early childhood. 1t is said that her
devotion to him has been so fervent
that her will has always been subser-
Went to his.
In his turn Parsons has been her
most constant and devoted attendant
and most intimate associate of the
senator's family.
According to Miss Mabel the we'd
ding will occur in April, and it is likely
that she will prevail. She is about "a

SHE KEPT ONE SECRET.
True story of a Baltimore Woman
Who Exhibited a Lifelong Dis
like of Dates.

The one secret that women know
how to keep is, according to unkind
critics, that of their age. They will
tell everything else that is intrusted
to their keeping, but never, in a mo-
ment of expansive indiscretion, will
they be induced to reveal the number
of their years.
Of course, this isn't always true.
Many feminines tell their ages and
those of their women friends with as
much freedom as their brothers would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves, but one elderly lady who
recently died was, in the matter of
secretiveness, a marvel to her acquaint-
ances.
No one except her own brothers and
sisters knew her age. Her husband
did not, though she was married to him
30 years or more. When the marriage
license had to be bought the bride
vouchsafed the information that she
was ''1nore than 49," That was all; so
the hard-hearted best man put her
down as rs years of age.
In the years that followed she never
spoke of her birthdays. Once, when
she was asked if she were born in June,
she replied that she didn't remember.
The natal days of others in the family
were celebrated, but hers never. She
would talk well on any subject in the
world but ages; on this one she was
absolutely dumb.
Before she expired she made sin
gle request of her husband. "Please
don't allow any dates to appear in the
obituary notices or on my tombstone, "
she asked. 81 don't like dates"
And so her secret died with her, and,
though her women friends surmised
that she must be at least ten years old
er than her husband to justify this
sensitiveness, it is quite possible that
she was nothing of the sort. She did
not look it. She merely had horror
of being reminded of the passage of
time.
This was, of course, very unusual
case, but it is sufficient evidence that
a woman can keep a secret and she
will.-Baltimore News.

How She sauelched Him.

He was a bowling balloon of the
Metropolitan club, and went too far.
This is what he wrote her:
SIT is with the greatest difficulty
that L have resisted the temptation to
respond to your frequent and pressing
invitations to call on you at your
home, and l feel that | shall not long
be able to withstand them"
And she replied:
81 do not feel that l ought to add to
your burdens, but if you should sue
cumb so far as to call, mamma will be
delighted to see you"

the mauye wax on the back and
stamped it with her cuff button, when

ships of the great Spanish Armada,
which came to grief in 1888 on the
inclement and rocky coast near Mil
town Malbay, which is now a small
fishing village and about 80 miles as
the crow flies from Dromoland castle
Leamanagh castle was the ancient
seat of that branch of the O'Briens
from whom the present Lord 1nchi-
quin is descended. 1t consists of a
peal tower dating from 1850 and q
Tudor house of a century later.
OF a member of the dynasty,
'Moira Rhu," or Red Mary, many
strange tales abound of her raids on
the English settlers in 1641, her hang
ing her servants on the corbels of the
castle, the men by the neck and the
maids by their hair.
When her husband fell mortally
wounded in his sl1irmish with Lud-
low and was carried home almost life
less she looked from her window,
calling: "We need no dead men
here!"
At his death few hours later she
promptly assumed a magnificent robe
of blue and silver, drove to Limerick
and offered to surrender to Ireton,
Cromwel's general. Next day she
married Col. Cooper, a Cromwellan
soldier, and thus saved the Leaman-
agh estates for her son at the gem
eral confscation. Tradition relates
that she killed Cooper with a kick
and that he was succeeded by some
two dozen other husbands, few of
whom escaped by a natural death,
but, it is only fair to say, the truth
of this story is stoutly denied by
Lord Inchiquin and his family.
The career of this female Bluebeard
is said to have ended by her being
fastened up alive in a hollow tree
and left to starve and that her I'M
easy spirit still haunts the spot. The
size and surroundings of Leamanagh,
its gardens, fishpond, deer park and
long walled avenue attest to the inn
portance of the O'Brien family. by
whom it was inhabited until Dromo-
land castle-their beautiful modern
home-became their principal place
of residence in the time of Sir Don,
OCH O'Brien, The picture of 'Moira,
Rhu" hangs at Dromoland with many
others of interest, including life
sized one of King Brian Boroimhc
and another of Queen Anne, present
ed by that royal lady during he'
reign to William, third earl of Inchi
quin.

Announcement that Senator and
Mrs. Hanna will build a $4,000 resi-
dence in Lake avenue, Cleveland, o.,

she marries Harry A. Parsons, proves
false the rumor that the old folks did

Contrary to the general impression,
Parsons has never claimed for himself
any unusual degree of inherent or ac-

few years he has been a most devoted

Mosquitoes and the Winds.

AS the result of studies on New
Jersey mosquitoes last summer, Prof.
John B. Smith, of Rutgers college,
says that not only will the insects
travel long distances from their
breeding place, but on favorable
evenings large swarms rise and are
carried during the night by winds.
The direction in which they go is
often seward. Swarms have been
met Is miles from the shore, and
they are common five miles from
shore. Migration of mosquitoes with
the aid of the winds Prof. Smith re-
CARDS as of much Importance, and as
rendering the control of the mos
quito nuisance a state rather than a
local affair. The Anopheles mosqui-
toes continue to breed long after
frost has set in, and even a covering
of ice on ponds is not fatal to their
larvae and pupae.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Mummies in America,

Comparatively few Americans real
ize that right here in their new-old
land are to be found counterparts of
Egypt's great wonder-veritable cat
acombs of mummies, as genuine as
any that exist in the land of the Nile.
1t is now generally received fact
that the so-called "cliff jewellers" are
not an unknown race at all, but our
own peace-loving Pueblo Indians,
who in the old days built their great
stone houses much as we now build
orr forts, for purposes of defence.
These wonderful stone houses, far up
the steep cliffs of Arizona and New
Mexico, abound in relics of prehis-
toric days, not least among them be-
ing the mummied bodies of their
former occupants. In Peru also, at
the time of it's discovery by the Span
iards, the natives were very skillful
in the art of mummy making.-N. Y.

Another Curiosity of Sound.

Mr.. A. G. Webster reported to the
American Physical society in New
York recently the results of expert
ments on a singular difference in the
audibility of sound when passing over
water and over grass. Under similar
conditions of quietness it was found
that given sound could be heard al
most exactly four times as far over
water as over grass. The assumption
that water is perfect reflector and
grass complete absorber of sound
waves is not, Mr.. Webster says, suffi.
cient to explain the phenomenon. The
practical Importance of knowing this
popularity, where sound may have to
be sent across grassy plain, is evil
dent.-Youth's Companion.

women as Insurance Risks.

The majority of companies charge
women higher premiums, tire differ.
ence in this respect being illogical
while not a small number make no ex.
ira charge whatsomever. The claim is
made that the increased risk is ac.
tually justified by the function of ma.
ternity. Some companies, therefore
make no extra charge after the age OF
So 1t is pertinently asked Why some
companies find female risks profitable
at ordinary rates. We suspect the ex-
plauatiun of the whole probe N will be
found to lie in prejudice and custom,
and that great financial success will
come to those companies which invite
the ladies at ordinary rates. There is
no reason in vital statistics for exclud-
ing or fning them.-American Medi-
cine.
