PRINCE HENRY's "coNFEssioN.'
Lovely Noble 1ewoman, Fishing for q

Lovely Noblewoman, Fishing for a
Compliment, Disgusts Him.
A story is now going the rounds Of
the London clubs concerning Prince
Henry Of Prussia, who, rumor says,
the United States.
few weeks ago his royal highness
paid quite an unofficial visit to Eng
land, and during his stay in London
was the guest of certain very veal
thy and deservedly popular American
millionaire. At dinner one evening
Prince Henry happened to sit next to
marvelously beautiful but extremely
conceited English woman, who used
all her dangerously winning ways"
to please and captivate the popular
German prince.
"Oh! your royal highness," softly
remarked the society beauty, I'm so
glad you like dear old England and
the English people. Now, will your
royal highness tell me quite candidly
what has impressed you most forci-
bly-what has given you the greatest
pleasure-during your visit to this
SOoAuy8 LII SIMPLY iOuSluS " Adf0
your confession ON this point"
Prince Henry, who was genuinely
bored by the ''beauty's" silly 'gush,"
looked around his hosts hospitable ta-
BILE and then, with apparent deep earn
estness, replied: You ask me, Lady
-, what has impressed me most fore
IDLY during my short visit to your
country. Well, I'll tell you-you shall
have my confession
! The blushing Lady -, naturally
expecting some sweet compliment, list
ened eagerly.
Il have been fascinated with many
things since I have been in England"
continued the prince, dreamily looking
down at his plate, "but what has given
me greater pleasure than anything else
what has fascinated me most-has
been-I think-your glorious roast
beefr
ooh! your royal highness" almost
shrieked the shocked and bitterly dis
appointed Lady - at such pro-
sale confession" "Our roast beef!
But surely something else besides our
roast beef has impressed you-some-
thing else, surely?"
Eyes, Lady -" tenderly replied
Prince Henry, according to the New
York Tribune, "yes, indeed 1 think,
next to your English roast beef,~I have
been most impressed by your English
boiled beefv'

ncent, stop your crying. 1 never saw
a worse looking creature in my life"
A white face Of astonishment turned
up to his. "And, for heavens sake,
take off that black, oozy thing around
your neck" Unconsciously a muddy
fist stole up and dragged off the cling
ing mass of slime and dropped it with
a shudder.
''Now, Millicent, will you marry
me?" Not till then did the face show
any comprehension of the words being
spoken. Then a fash of color appeared
under the streaks of black and a quer-
ulous little sob escaped from the
trembling lips as, burying her face
again on the wet, heaving chest, she
answered. sofely, Eyes, John"-Phila.

Pound Them Hard to Raise.

A great gormand, who had a passion
for shell-fish, inherited fine estate and
large sum of money. He had been ex-
travagant, and his friends were greatly
rejoiced at his legacy. Mr.. II. Barry,

the money was devoted:

A SHAVING GLASS.

The man who shaves himself often
finds it difficult to- place his mirror
where he can get good light for the
work, and without the light it is not an
easy task to manipulate the razor to
remove the growth of beard from all
parts of the face. Perhaps the travel
ing man has more difficulty In this re-
spect than the one who has his glass
suspended in a fixed place in his room,

Ahout the Human Body.

Some sta atistician has been contrib.
uting his studies Of the human body to
a French Journal. In its normal condi-
ton, he says, the human body contains
enough iron to make seven large-sized
nails, sufficient fat for the supply OF
13 pounds Of candles, enough carbon
to make 65 gross of lead pencils and
enough phosphorus for over 5000 wax
vestas. Or, reduced to another state.

Railway Company's Logic.

A woman in Belgium whose husband
had lost his life in a railway accident
received from the company 10000
francs by way of compensation. Short
ly after she heard OF traveller who
had lost leg and had been paid 10000
francs. The widow at once put on her
bonnet and shawl and went to the Of
fee Of the company.
"Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked
"You give 10000 francs for leg and
you allowed me only 10000 francs for
the loss Of my husband"

to the New York Mail and Express

francs won't provide him with a leg,

PIeases the Birds.

A scientist once put an automatic
music box on the lawn and spent many
hours watching the robins, blue tits and
other birds gathering about it. A look
ing glass put up where the birds can
see themselves in it is also very attrac-
tive, while combination of musical
box and a looking glass pleases the
birds more than anything else one
could mt out for cir amusement.

The chief aims of art in dress should be either
the artistic blending of colors the clever effects
that make beautiful the greatest simplicity or the
most gorgeous and sumptuous raiment. For In

cal Greek costume or more magnificent than a
Venetian sixteenth century robe? And yet both
can impart dignity and grace to the modern
wearer. To be perfect, the former requires as

connected with such diseases scarlet fever and

result in infection. Too much emphasis cannot
