Senator Depew's Brides wit.

This story is told of Miss Palmer,
who is now the bride of Senator De-
pew. While on visit to school girl
friend at Philadelphia boarding house
Miss Palmer was initiated into the
mysteries of combination bread and
cake pudding covered with thick sauce.
1t is an economical preparation served
weekly in many schools and boarding
houses where there is likely to be a
surplus of stale bread and cake After
luncheon, While walking through the
city hall courtyard Miss Palmer saw
fine chocolate-colored prison van.
Its snowy appearance deceived her,
and she asked her host: Whose wag-
on is that?' THAT, my dear" said
the Philadelphia girl, lis our city car
ryall-it is the black Maria" Indeed, :"
exclaimed Miss Palmer, looking at it
with interest, "it looks more like an
other slice of your Brown Betty"

Huxley's Aggressive ness.

Before Huxley's untiring energy
there was found no peace for hum
bugs, dissemblers or those who wished
nothing better than to be left in lazy
satisfaction with the accepted order OF
things. In these controversies he was
sometimes too bitter, too fierce, and
made use Of sarcasm which, though
delicious. was frequently little short
OF cruel. He was a firebrand, warm
enough to his friends, but ready to
consume any opponent-nay, more,
looking out for opponents with the
keenest scrutiny, lest one might per-
chance appear upon the far horizon
of the world of thought without being
favored by his disastrous notice. More
over. he was hot-tempered, and when
reused sometimes harsh and illiberal;
but his nature was of the impulsive
kind that apologies as quickly as it
errs, while through his life at all times
ran the redeeming vein of humor. 1t
is not an uproarious laugh, but keen.
irresistible little twinkle that comes
into the corner of his eyes over the
foibles of his neighbors and of him
self.-The Century.

Austrian Countess Obliged to Serve -
Chicago NursemAid

Austrian Countess Obliged to Serve .
Chicago NnrssmAid.
An interesting case with an Ameri-
can end to 1t is now engaging the at
tention of the Austrian law courts,
where Count Des Feurs- Walderode,
scion Of one of the Oldest houses Of
the Bohemian aristocracy. Is being
called to severe account for squander-
ing the fortune OF his two children, for
having neglected to give them an edu-
cation In keeping with their rank and
for having rendered himself guilty Of
gross contempt of court, notably by
kidnapping his children some years
ago from the care of the guardians
appointed by law, and after he had
beeen judicially deprived OF his paren-
tai rights on account of his extrava-
gance. The count, whose matrimonial
differences with his wife resulted in
ing that neither the husband or wife
was worthy Of the guardianship Of
the children, abducted his boy and
girl from their legal guardian and
fed with them to Switzerland. On the
Intervention Of the Swiss courts being
invoked by the Austrian authorities
he came with them to this country.
and, according to the evidence just
produced in court, neglected them to
such degree that his daughter, the
Countess Marie, now q years Of age,
was obliged to take position as
nurse girl in a family in Chicago I'M
der the name OF Marie Mertens, while
the boy, who Is two years younger,
was left to pick up his own living as
errand boy In a store in New York,
also under an assumed name. Finally
the family learned OF the condition of
the two children and caused them to
be brought over to Europe, where they
arrived penniless and with nothing but
the clothes on their backs, the young
count, in spite of his 10 years, being
as ignorant as boy of 10. The girl
has now been placed in possession OF
her share of the family fortune, which
Is large and sufficient to keep her In
comfort and affluence, while steps have
been taken to prepare the boy for the
army, his maintenance being mean
while provided for in keeping with
his rank. Both children In court dis
played considerable bitterness toward
their father. especially the girl, who
seems to have retained particularly
disagreeable recollection Of the time
when she was obliged to earn her liv-
ing as nurse girl at Chicago. Today
