Sir Henry and the Cabby.

Sir Henry Irving. while filling his
Brooklyn engagement, made his home
at the Hotel Margaret on Columbia
Heights, and it was his custom every
pleasant afternoon to drive In Pros
pect Park, writes the New York cor
respondent Of the London Express.
One afternoon the driver came with
the usual vehicle-a closed carriage
and set out ignorant Of the fact that
the spare, silk-hatted old gentleman
who had climbed In was the distin-
guished actor.
In what, seemed to be q very short
time for an afternoon outing the car
riage returned. and cabby came into
the Office looking much concerned.
With the air of one imparting grave
news, and. jerking his thumb over his
shoulder in. the direction whittier Sir
Henry had disappeared, he said to the

NOT roo YOUNG TO MARRY,

Mere Children Are United in WedIock
in Many European Countries.
Among the peoples OF Europe there
is no fixed age at which people may
marry and as a consequence children
Of tender years frequently assume the
responsibilities of cares Of welded life.
In Austria boy and girl having ar
rived at the age Of IA are considered to
be old enough for matrimonial purposes
and the law allows them to marry and
begin housekeeping as soon as they
please. In Germany man is not con-
sidert to have arrived at a marriage
able age until he is is, and in France
and Belgium the man must be Ii and
the girl Is. In Spain the bridegroom
must have arrived at the mature age Of
ii and the bride must be q staid young
lady Of II. The law is the same in
Portugal. t
Hungary has funny marriage law.
For Catholics the manageable age ia
considered to be IA for the boy and IL
for the girl, but for Protestants it is Is
for the boy and Is for the girl. Why
this distinction? In Switzerland and
Greece the ages are IA for the boy and
II for the girl. the same as in Spain
and Portugal. In Spain, Greece and
Portugal boys and girls mature rapidly
and boy IA there is as old physically
as boy of Is in more northern coun-
tries, but it seems strange that the
hardy mountaineers of Switzerland,
where there is no such excuse for child
marriages. should set such an early
age for matrimony.
P'' For really youthful marriage one
should 60 to Turkey. There the law
allows any boy and girl who can walk
properly and who understand the
meaning of the necessary religious SER
vice to be married for life. In Bulgaria
and Servia girls are allowed to- marry
as soon as they cease to be babies and
the girl who is not engaged by the
time she is 16 is considered a hopeless
old maid. In America a woman never
loses hope-nor a man either.

At the time 1t was In the rough, and
weighed 112 carats. Tavernier sold 1t
to Louis XIV. and 1t was one Of the
French crown jewels until 1892, when
1t was seized by the revolutionists and
placed in the Garde Meuble. 1t was
afterward stolen and lost from public
knowledge. y
Toward the middle of the nineteenth
century the stone in Its present shape
came into possession Of a London deal

little boy" she said. "Three different
doctors had done their best for me, but
they all failed to do me any good. My
case seemed to be a combination of
nervous and stomach troubles. l had
fainting spells, my food did not digest
and caused me great Distress My head
felt very badly and at times was de-
lirious. l lost in weight. from 1870 to
SO pounds, l had no color, my feet and
hands were cold and my limbs had a
prickly sensation as though asleep. I
was not refreshed by sleep although I
slept heavily. l learned of DR.. Will.

similar to mine that had been cured by
the pills. l took three or four boxes
before l was certain that l was being
benefited, but continued their use until
l was entirely cured.

they are the medicine that saved my
life. do not believe that ordinary
medicine could have cured me.'

her. Lesser troubles yield even more
