Bertha Kinsky was Countess Kins- Ky in her own right. Her father died when she was an infant, and her mother educated her thoroughly and brilliantly. Mime. Won Suttner is one or the most accomplished women of her time. She speaks English exqui- sitely-so admirably that one who hears her wishes with all his heart American women could speak their native tongue as well as she does.
 Countess Bertha Kinsky's first be- trothed, Prince Adolph Wittgenstein was a rare tenor singer. He started to America to make concert tour through the country, but died on ship board and was buried at sea. After a number of years Countess Bertha married Baron Arthur Won Suttner seven years younger than herself The marriage seems to have been an ideal one, although the young couple were poor. Both. however, became writers, and both were successful.
 At first owing to the prejudice againts women writers. Mme Won Suttner used simply the nom de plume B. Oulott. None who read her books or sketches dreamed a woman was the author, so fearless. brilliant and orig inal were these. A fine large surprise therefore overcame her readers when they learned the feminine authorship of the literary productions which had so aroused them and set them to thinking. Bertha Won Suttner's char acter. her writing and her life work have in continental Euro le done much to widen the belief in the intellectual capacity of woman.

CASE OF PROFIT OR LOSS.
inebriated Individual Had Hard Mat
ter 10 Decide,


A minister of the Methodist Protest
ant church, now stationed on the east
ern shore Of Maryland, is convinced
that the life of clergyman is not
always strewn with roses. His views
on certain current questions had been
repeatedly misstated by others, and,
considering their action nefariously
unjust he took occasion to refer to
it one Of his Sunday morning SER
mons.
He said that he had been consoled
by calling to mind the story Of an
Irishman, who is reported to have
lived somewhere in lower Delaware.
Although frugal and hard working
man, this son Of Erin occasionally
visited the town tavern on Saturday
afternoons, and sometimes returned
home in state of intoXication. On
one occasion, having imbibed so free
ly that he was totally unable to steer
himself homeward, a kindly disposed
individual who happened along placed
him in his cart and started the mule
in the right direction. Unfortunately,
some mischievous boys met the cart,
and deciding to play joke on the old
man, unhitched the mule, and leading
him short distance into the woods,
sat down to await results. In short
time the Irishman awoke from his
stupor, rubbed his eyes, and, looking
about, exclaimed:
"Begorra, is this me, or is ii not me.
Faith l cannot tell. If this is me. l
have lost mule, but II this Is not me
/ have found cart!"-Baltimore Her.

It was no wonder, then, il Jenny
was dazzled by the homage of so
masterful man. The wonder was
that his dashing airs. the glamor Of
his crude greatness, the open hatred
OF one he had Tilted and several he
ignored for the sake of her, turned
her head so little as it did,
Suddenly, at this critical juncture,
before she could be sure of her own
heart, or ALI could overpersuade her,
some unknown hand had abruptly
torn him out OF her life forever.
His tragic end filed her with hor-
ror and affected her with an emotional
belief that she had really loved him.
The tears she shed were tears of gen
uine sorrow.
This development of the situation
seeming to make it imperative, she
trimmed her hat with Grape and
bought herself cheap black dress.

Bavarian Country Life.

In old Bavarian districts many Of
the smaller towns are merely walled
farm villages. These settlements of
agriculturists reproduce the ancient
laager for all. Each is built in the
form of a parallelogram, the shorter
sides having each a gateway, with
double gates, over which rise central
square watch towers capped with con-
ical red roofs. A narrow road or street
runs from gate to gate. with old half
timber houses set back close to the
inclosing wall. The ground floor OF
these houses affords stabling for cat
tie, and from these stables the cows
are driven out through the town gates
in the morning and brought in at
night. Townships like this are mere
ly clusters of houses intimately con
nected with the farm lands that lie be-
yond their gates.

me up, an I'll swing for it! Go on

hasty movement, he flung a long
bladed knife down on the table be
fore her.
He ceased, and stood, duly resolved

was moment OF awful silence. Then
the slow tread of Mrs. Cripps return

Jenny started to her feet.

1t is natural for the traveller who
approaches this city by the sea, es-
pecially If he prefers the firm land to
the unsteady ocean, to consider any
shore he touches endowed with some
charm. Add to this, that Naples dis
putes with Constantinople the honor
of possessing the most beautiful site
CT any city OF Europe. And when one
has climbed the height that leads TO
the tomb OF Virgil, hard by the grotto
of Posilippo. and looks down over the
city, rising like an ancient amphithe-
alter on the slopes Of the hills that en-
circle the azure bay, with Vesuvius
in the distance its smoky plume fad
ing into the blue. the sight is one
that brings a great Joy with it such

as few scenes do that meet the eye
Of men. Forms and colors harmonize;
dreamy haze, luminous and tender,
enwraps the scene. The thoughts so
wandering vaguely over the cXpanse
of sea. and away to the right in the
purple hollow of the mountain you
know that there lies that wondrous
revelation of ancient life-the rcSur-
reoted city of Pompeii.
The character OF the population in
it's diversity is indicated by the va
rious buildings of the city. Here,
close to the royal palace, rises the
Theater San Carlo. huge, grandlose,
stately and heavy with the weight of
its wealth and dignity-a grand tenn
pie to the lyric muse. However II
stands in comparison with other the
aters, il is n noble structure without
and within its six tiers of boxes, it's
wide proscenium and spacious stage,
make 1t one of the finest thcaters in
Europe, while it's musical record goes
from the early half Of the eighteenth
century to the present time.
There is much that is peculiar and
picturesque about this people They
group admirably; as you pass along
the poorer streets and come upon an
open sun-ligbted space you find the
women sitting around the shop doors,
engaged in work or indulging in gos
sip. Here, in such streets as this
and that other high street.-the Pal
lonetto at Santa Lucia-.that looks
like Jacobs ladder, without tho
angels ascending and descending

many cases they have but sleeping
places for the night; their day is
passed in the sunshine; they live on

and tho gaiety and brilliancy Of the
whole scene. The vista at the begin
ming or the end Of one of these
streets is charming. On one side
thcre is tho sea; on another a monu-
mental mountain whose abundant
waters shine like jewels in the rays
Of the bright sun.
Down in tine splendid gardens CT
the villa Nazionale, where, amid
white marble statues copied after the
great masterpieces Of Greece and
Rome, and under the shade of palms
and cedars and semi-tropical plants,
rich and poor may wander. Over the
low sea wall to the left the tiny
waves CT the Mediterranean may be
seen gently caressing the shore and
making murmur rather than a
splash. Between the dark branches
Of the thickly planted ileXes you get
glimpses of the sea, and beyond in
the shining distance the dream-liko
form of Capri's high hills form a
darker blue outline against the blue
sky. To the stranger who dwells in
Naples for a short time the Villa Ma
Zionalc. with its silent charm and
with all that induces to feed the
imagination, becomes a place of re.
sort.
There are other resorts for the
tourist in search Of the picturesque or
historical. On the side Of a hill over
looking the city, and surrounded by
choice gardens, stands the Palace OF
Capo di Monte, charming spring and
summer retreat. 1t was built for
King Charles Ill. who reigned here
from 1884 to 1859. But perhaps the
