FRANKS or A PRINcE.
WfIheIminn's Future Husband Wna Lively Youngeter Few
 Years Ago.

Perhaps Prince Henry of Mecklen- burg-Schwerin the fiance of QueenW Will helmina, is a sober, industrious royalty now, but according to this story he was a pretty lively fellow few years ago, says the St. Louis Republic. Once a governess of some cousins of his, scions of the ducal house of Mecklenburg Strelitz, lived in a grand, solitary castle planted in the middle of a boundless Henry Vladimir yon Mecklenburg- Schwerin, who was there on a visit to his cousins, had taken a violent dislike to the governess, who objected to his rather free-and-easy manners with her noble pupils. One Sunday morning the children started with her in car riage to drive to the little church a few miles away from the castle. Mme De K, the governess, was on the front seat with the two countesses, and Duke Henry Vladimir had installed himself on the back seat. More than once she felt as if something queer was going on behind her, but when she looked around the boy was stiff and solemn, looking the other way.
 At last the party reached the church, in front of which little crowd of mo- ble neighbors and peasants had assem- bled. Henry Vladimir jumped out first and gallantly offered his hand to the governess. She thought this un- onted politeness rather strange, but on jumping out her skirt and one or two petticoats fell at her feet, where they softly arranged themselves in a sort of balloon, from which she emerged a little more dressed than "Venus Rising from the Sea-" but not much. On the morrow the young Meek lenburg- -Schwerin was sent home with the brand of shame unon him.

WOOD LOOKS LIKE METAL.
A New Process by Which strength and Hardness Are Given to
 the Fiber.

A European scientist has discovered a method by which wood may be given the appearance of metal. Outside of the added value for decorative purposes which this may give, the advantage to be derived is not clearly apparent. The wood is said to be rendered exceedingly JRstrd and strong, although it is equally uncertain what part of the process may be assumed to confer these desirable qualities upon wood which was soft and weak before treatment, says an in- dustrial exchange.
 The process is described as follows; The wood is first soaked for three or four days in a solution of caustic alkali at a temperature of from 75 to 90 de- grees centigrade, and is then trans ferred at once to bath of hydrosul- phate of calcium, to which a saturated solution of sulphur in caustic alkali is added after 24 hours. The wood re- mains in this bath, which is kept at D temperature of from B to 50 degrees centigrade, and finally it is soaked for about 30 to 50 hours in solution of acetate of lead The wood is then dried at a moderate temperature and may be polished with a burnisher of hard wood In this case it can be made to acquire a brilliant metallic luster and if the sur face is previously rubbed with apiece of lead, tin or zinc and a glass or porcelain burnisher is used the effect is increased, The wood treated in this way resem bles metallic mirror.

coURTED BY MEANS OF SIGNS.
Boston Couple That Never Spoke Un- til They Stood Before
 the Altar.

A marriage took place in Boston the other evening, the parties to which had never spoken until few minutes before they stood before the clergy man who pronounced them man and wife. They had been courting for nearly three months at that, and they were both in full possession of the faculty of speech, says a Boston paper.
 One day in March last a young wom- an employed in one of the depart ment stores and young man holding d clerkship in a music store engaged rooms on Shawmut avenue and Union Park street respectively, and that night, sitting at the windows of their lodgings, saw each other across the expansive courtyard for the first time. For several nights they enjoyed each others presence in a silent manner. Later on the young man acknowledged the lady's presence with bow. Then began the odd and unique courtship. The young man, in order to get bet ter look at his inamorata, bought a pair of opera glasses, and. to his de- light, the lady did the same Then the young man cut out some letters from white paper and pinned them on piece of board that he had covered with black muslin, to spell out: "Tel me your name"
 The lady answered the uext night in the same way. Through this medium, slow and unsatisfactory as it was, the courtship went on, the young lady, however, being deaf to all his entrea- ties for meeting. They soon gave up their original mode of correspondence however, and began to pay tribute to the postal service. An engagement fol- lowed in due course of time and last week there was a wedding distin- guished by mo cards, no reception, no bridal tourn

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurabie. For great
manv years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
OHIO, is the only constitutional cure on the
market It is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for par
ticulars and testimonials.

Fl 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter,

NEW ORLEANS. June 26.-Notwithstand- ing Liverpool advices were disappointing, our market opened 205 points higher on old crop months and advanced 6G on the new. Sub sequently the later improvement in Liverpool and reports of heavy rains in the Atantics. coupled to the stopping of all July notices To- cally and in New York caused additional advance of 2oG25 points on old crop options and 70 on the new Realizing set In later and superlnduced recession of SOY points from the top on all positions, making the net gain l7 points July, 24 August, 5 on September and about 10 on the other months. Showers were general throughout the South during the past twenty-four hours and 1t Is officially predicted that showers will occur tonight and Saturday the southern DOT ton of this district and generally fair wealth CT will prevail over the northern portion dur ing the time The New York Journal of Commerce in its issue of today referring to the condition of cotton, says: Crops are ex- ceptonally late. but the whole marked Improvement is indicated for Georgia as In our report of North and South Carolina. On the whole advices from Alabama must be re- Ga-ded generally favorable. Mississippi as ir all States thus far reported the plant as being unusually small. Favorable weather pre- dominated and 1t might be noted here as ap- plicable to the whole cotton belt that while the plant is small the tap root is well de VeOped and will cause steadier growth for the remainder of the season. " These reports confirm those being received from private par ties from all sections of the South and would seem to bear out the claim that with future favorable weather conditions the bacSwardness and late start of this crop will be overcome. We are informed that 900 notices were issued in New York today and from 20, 900 to 25 900 here, all of which were stopped by the New Orleans bull clique. It is generally conceded that thes parties are prepared to take all the spot cotton tendered them If both markets the Summer months. However. this is to be expected, but considering the i'm proved crop outlook and the restricted spot demand from spinners we think 1t adNis- able for the moment to buy the new crop months only on sharp breaks.
