A Royal Romnnce.

Carmen Sylvia. the royal authoress,
met her husband. the king of Rouma-
MIA, in quite a romantic way. AS a
girl of seventeen she was running down
the staircase of the palace at Berlin
when her foot slipped on the marble.
and she would have fallen to the floor
below. but at the moment Prince
Charles of Hohenzollern stepped from
an anteroom and caught her in his
arms. She did not accept him, although
he made her the offer at once. In joke
for 1t was then most unlikely-she
said she preferred to remain queen of
herself, but if she became queen of any
country ut all she would prefer Rou-
mania. Eight years afterward the
beautiful Carmen was married to
Prince Charles. who had been proclaim
ed king of ROumania, and thus she re-
allied her ambition.

whcn water wa. Avoided.

Until comparatively recent times
there was medical prejudice against
drinking water. Sir William Vaughan
in his Natural and Artificial Direc-
tons For Health" declared that water
Ought seldom to be drunk" Another
doctor admitted that it might be
healthful for children, but not for men
Except some odd, abstemious one
among n thousand pcrchance, degen-
crate and of Il doggish nature, for dogs
Of nature do abhor wine" Indeed, the
recommendation of water as a bever-
age was supposed to be the sign of the
quack. Even Wesley in his primitive
Physic" wrote of it with caution:
Drink only water if it agrees with
your stomach; if not. good. clear small
beer"

Nativity of tn. Potato.


There is as much mystery as history
connected with the common tuber call
ed the potato. Its nativity, original
place in the kingdom of nature and
several other things regarding it are
still open questions. AS to its nativity,
the weight of argument seems to favor
the tropical or subtropical regions Of
America. There is a tradition that the
vines once grew to monstrous size and
that the balls" were of the "bigness
OF melons, and ut that time the roots
were not tubers, the edible parts grow
ing among the branches. 1t seems that
they were first introduced into Europe
in the year 1865.
HaskelPs Roots and Wild Plants"
says, "Wamkins first fetched Il queer,
dubious root out of America which
some called 'bodado,' while others,
who had heard the Pcruvians mention
1T, spoke of it as a potato" Pertains
CyclOpedia of Agriculture says that Sir
John Wamkins found it growing wild
near Santa Fe de Bogota at an alti-
tude of 5000 to 10000 feet. He also
says that it was fetched out of Amer
lea" at about the time settled upon by
Haskell-viZ, in the year 1865.

A PART OF THE PLAY.
Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to N Prison Cell.

Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to N Prison Cell.
The course of true art does not al
ways run smooth in Russia, as, for ex-
ample, in the theater of Yelizavetgrad.
In the fourth act of certain play there
is theater within a theater, as in
Shakespeare's Hamlet" only that
some of the dramatis persona have to
mix with the public in the galleries
and to hiss the chief actress, who duly
faints. As soon as the gentlemen had
taken their places among the gods and
begun to hiss and whistle the police
man on duty came down upon them
like wolf on the fold. and before they
could utter n word of explanation he
and his colleagues "nabbed' two, re-
moved them by force and took them to
/ the next police station, where they
were charged with disorderly conduct
Mt public place. They protested that
they had only done their duty, but the
police laughed their explanations to
scorn. The public left the theater en-
masse to see what was happening to the
actors, but the latter had already been
consigned to the cells. The crowd in
the street before the station house grew
rapidly in numbers and its noisy
protests threatened to eliminate in Sc
riouS disorders. Fortunately, the man.
ager of the theater appeared before the
superintendent and by the light of n
lamp detained, with manuscript in
hand, the whole fourth act, in order TO
show that kissing was an essential part
of the performance. Only then did the
representatives of the law release the
innocent actors.

A Queer Dog.

Dagonet in the Referee tells a story
Of two little girls who were trying to
explain what sort of n dog it was they
had seen. Said one little girl cit was
one of those funny ones; you know, the
ones that are dog and half long and
half a dog high" Said the other: you
must know the sort. It's dog that
only has four legs. but looks as if it
ought to have six" 1t may interest
Dagonet to hear of a fairly apt defini-
ton that a Public Opinion man once
heard applied to the dachshund-"the
dog with the Louis NV. legs"

THE HOME PAPER.

The bosom of the country editor
would swell with pride If he could
ride up town on an elevated train on
the afternoon of Friday or Saturday
on any week i'll the year. says the
New York Press. On these two days
great many business men give only
a basty glance at the evening paper
and then Immediately draw from II
onket copy of paper that is III
marked contrast TO the city paper, as
tar as type and general appearance go.
The type is invariably larger, and
the display of advertising and heads
10 news articles are commonly smaller.
The ink is not always spread evenly
over I'll page. Nevertheless the bus
ness man opens the page devoted to
news and reads every line there. At
ter that he not infrequently reads the
village advertisements and gives a
brief look at the editorials.
The city man used to live in the
village where that paper was printed,
and he recognizes the names printed
there as those CT old acquaintance
perhaps friends. The village paper
to him is like a etter from home He
may get it by subscription; more
it is from loving friends at
the old home who wrap it up and send
it after the family there read Tx
