to prevent the attachment between
without a title from coming to any
thing The monarch, however, as
soon as he was convinced that his
son was honestly in love, permitted
him to make his morganatic mar
rage, insisting merely that, as usual,
the young man should give up his
succession to the throne. This Prince
Oscar was glad to do. He took the
title of Count Won Wisberg, married
Miss Munck in England, and they
have ''llved happily ever after Even
as one of the most attractive young
women of the Swedish court, the
present countess was a great rell-
gious worker, and it is her example
which has led her husband to give SO
much attention to this rather novel
form of royal amusement.
1t is not so very strange that King
Oscar should have acted as he did in
regard to his sons marriage, for he
is regarded as perhaps the most I'M
ceremonious as well as one of the
| most talented of European monarchs.
At the weekly receptions which his
majesty holds in Stockholm any one
of his subjects, be he high or low, is
welcome.
To them come noblemen, poor cod
| fishers, wealthy merchants and even
peasants, and to almost every one
| the affable royal host has good
| humored word or two to say. His
majesty's mode of getting from place
to place is quite as originator a
king. Except on grand occasions he
| never thinks of using his state car
rage, but will jump carelessly on .
passing street car, or, if he hasn't
| too far to go, walks along the street
like any one else, entirely without
| escort. Probably if King Edward
were 20 saunter alone down Piccadil-
" traffic would be stopped by the
crowds that would gather to get a
| near view of their sovereign. King
| Oscar, however, is so well known a
figure that passers-by hardly turn
their heads except to salute him.
The l:;ng's literary gifts are, OF
course, well known. He has trans
lated Goethe's Faust he has pub
lished several books of poems and
composed four or five rafting sailor
songs. His majesty's poems are pub
lished under the pen name OF oscar

Flowers for Table Decoration.

Flowers which naturally mass low
are more suitable for table decoration
thanthose whose beauty must be sacri-
feed in the cutting of long stems. Vio-
lets are among the former. An edge
Of delicate ferns, preferably maiden
hair, makes the most exquisite setting
for the dainty violet. There are
numerous pretty designs for individual
decorations at violet luncheon, the
flower lending itself easily to repro
duction. A Gala lily mixed with French
violets is a pretty thing to lay at each

THEFTS OF POST CARDS.
Mem. Exuerfemce with the Mails
i'm Mexico and in This
q
Country.

IS "There are some countries in which
YOU expect the mails to be as safe as
q bank" said man who has travelled
a good deal, according to the Ne"
York Sun, land one of these countries
is the United States.
.sIn nearly every country now are to
be found some very pretty post cards.
I was in Mexico short time ago and
bought lot of them there. AS L was
addressing them in the City OF Mexico
one day friend said:
"'You are not going to send them
through the 1nail?'
81 said that was.
"'They won't arrive he said.
"'Why?' asked.
"sThey'll be stolen in transit, was
his answer. @ ztsi
s'I thought he must be mistaken, but
he wasn't. Iput the requisite stamp on
each card, wrote nothing but the adj
dress on one side, and few lines on
the other. Not one of those cards ar
rived at its destination.
ST may have thought harshly Of the
manner in which the postal regulations
of Mexico were disobeyed, but I
thanked circumstances that was a
citizen of a country in which such pet
ty peculation could not occur. / have
had reason to change my mind.
"Within fortnight sent some hand
some postal cards to friends in this
city; in New York itself. Every regu-
lation was obeyed to the letter by me.
Not one of the cards reached its des-
tination. They were stolen in transit.
thereafter I will distribute my
growls against dishonest postal Off
cials between those of the United
States and Mexico, and I'm not SO
proud of all the institutions of this
country as was"

SKILL IN WASHING.
AN Accomplishment That Is Worth
Learning, II Only for Econ
Omy's Sake. Sts ~

Washing is an art, and needs to be
learned as we'll as anything else. Ev-
erybody can wash after a fashion.
but not everybody can so turn out
handkerchiefs, silk and lace blouses
and ties, and other washable belong
ings that professional laundress
would not scorn to own them as her
work. It is emphatically an accom-
plishment worth learning, if only for
the sake of reducing ones laundry
bill, says the London Express. ~
Dissolved soap is a necessity, and
is made by finely shredding quarter
of a pound of yellow soap into one
quart of water, and boiling it till dis
solved. A quantity can be. made, ut
one time and kept for use when re-
quired. When washing flannel and
wooden goods never rub or twist
them. Squeeze them about in tepid
alather, to which (for white flannels)
a, little ammonia is added. Wash
thoroughly on both sides, rinse care-
fully, shake and dry in the air, not
in the sun. Iron when nearly dry
with cool iron.
White silk blouses, ties and hand
kerchiefs are all washed in the same
way. First steep them in cool water,
with little borax added, wash in Il
lather of warm water and dissolved
soap, rinse well, pass through slight
ly blued water, fold in a clean cloth,
pass through the wringer and iron
on the wrong side when nearly dry
with cool iron. A little mentha-
lated spirit added to the last rinsing
water gives desirable gloss. A des-
sert spoonful to a pint of water is
ample. For colored silk, do not steep
it in borax water or pass it through
blued water. If you fear the color
will run, steep it in salt and water
for short time, but be careful to
rinse all the salt out before washing.

creased pluralities for their respec-
tive candidates.
Frank Campbell, chairman OF the
Democratic state committee, declared
himself convinced that his estimate
of $4,000 plurality in the state for
Coler for governor erred in the side
of modesty ana expressed confidence
that the candidate is sure OF election
by at least $4,000. Mr.. Campbell
who was at his home in Bath, declare
last night that his increased estimate
was based on late information, which
indicated that a landslide for the
Democratic party might be expected
today. He thought it not improbable
that Mr.. Coler's plurality might run
as high as $1,000 votes. Mr.. Coier
himself is still more sanguine, being
sure last night that the governorship
will be his by a plurality Of fully CO.
900 votes.

origind estimate Of $1,000 plurality
