When Nine. Nordica came to New

Metropolitan opera house there were
rumors of her engagement to Herr
Doehme,; which she confirmed. The mar
riage took place on May 26, 1896, in In
dianapolis, at the close Of the musical
festival. Herr Doehme is a member of
a prominent Hungarian family, young
and of exceptional good looks. He pos
sesses fine voice, and he has appeared
as Parsifal at Bayreuth.
Mme Nordica was in this country last
fall while her husband remained abroad.
There were rumors that while in Paris
he was too attentive to a prima don1a
of worldwide fame, but Nine, Nord&ca
emphatically denied the charge in a
friendly letter to the woman named.
When Herr Doehme arrived in New
York city early last December the sum-

served upon him. Up to that time he
believed that the differences. with her
could be reconciled, and the service Of
the divorce papers shocked him so that
he spent several weeks in a sanitarium

FATE OF LAZY GIRLS
rInless They Preserve Their b d1ea
by Physical Exercise They Are
hound to Rust Out.

The lazy girl will not obey the
promptings of nature to use her limbs
and faculties as it was intended that
she should use them, says writer Tor
the Boston Journal. She infinitely pre-
fers to loll about, reading rubbishy books
which make no call on her mental facul-
ties, absorbing caramels or chocolates
she does not require, thus starving he1
mind and overfeeding her body at one
and the same moment. BY doing this
she tends to lay on an excess OF fatty lis
sue, which soon robs her youthful hgufo
of any dainty charm it might possess
her digestive organs become deranged'
the liver becomes sluggish and her COM
plexion assumes a sallow tint that ADDS
years to her looks.
A vacant mind gazes abstractedly
through the lack-luster eyes OF the glrl
who is too lazy even to think, and ADDS
still further to her prematurely aged ana
world-worn appearance.
Her heart and lungs get lazy, too; men
circulation is barely brisk enough to Keep
thinsn going-hence she is often q
martyr to cold feet and an overheated
nose-and she is apt to be scant OF breath.
Thus she becomes sort Of bad car1ca-
ture OF old age; she has all its defects
with none of its redeeming qualities.
II the lazy girl would keep her girlish
looks she must lose her laziness, for
laziness and girlishness do not form an
enduring partnership. She must exercise
both her body and her mind in a rational
manner.
1t is a matter Of everyday observation
that it is the brisk, bustling women of
business or of society who longest retain
their youthful charm. 1t is the thinkers
and workers who retain their powers o.
fascination when the drones have long
since laid themselves, or been laid, on
the Shelf
That is striking phrase, 'The joy OF
living" 1t is a Joy that<the lazy girl
can seldom feel, for it is only known TO
those girls who use life rightly and who
Will go through fire and water to realize
their high ambitions. A healthy life is
a perpetual joy, and it can be healthy
only if it is full of constant striving and
doing.
The lazy girl must set her bodily tenn
pie in order. She may not have a motor,
a carriage, a bicycle, or horse, but she
can always use her feet. She mus* walk,
and walk with will and with purpose
in view. She should adopt hobby, no
matter what; painting, music, poultry
keeping. rowing-anything, in short.
that will give her bodily and mental en-
plOyment.

And earns her fifteen dollars every week.

And all the day she's busy as the bees.

When Sarah Ann manipulates the keys.
I'm looking to the day when she will be
my loving wife.
That happy time is not so far away;
I hope I'll always love her as DO love

And never have an unkind thing to say.

No matter If plead on bended knees;
I think see my finish-Ill not get out at all

that thousands of jinrikishas must

Eliza r. S. Scidmore, in the Chicago

"And kill all the Russians?"
"Sayo de gozarimasu'' Chat is so,
certainly and he bowed seriously.
With this relief in view, the jim
rikisha coolies are contentedly waiting.
Any day they may step from the shafts
at an hours notice, and with their
blankets and lanterns 60 to the rail-
way station to be hurried down 10
waiting transports at Ujina. A coolie
corps goes with each regiment, to do
the packing and hauling and heavy
work that lessons the fighting soldiers

On the march to Peking the Amer
lean soldier, loaded like a pack horse,
broke down or threw away his load,
as at Santiago, while the nimble jap
anese scampered here and there a-sol-
diering, and came up at the end of
each march as fresh and smiling as
their tireless leader, Gen. Fukushima.
The Japanese coolie did the coolie
work, and the jinrikisha transport
corps was a mobile, flying force COM
pared to the American four-mule army
wagon trains or the British India tonga
cart service. The human pony could
look after himself, and when there
was a stream to ford or a mud slough
to argue with two coolies could take
the iinrikisha on their shoulders and
with catlike tread pass over and leave
the frate teamsters hours behind
The jinrikisha coolie is certainly ''the
man in the street." and one hears the
words: "Roo-sha,' "Choreu" (Corea)
and "Manchuria" often as he passes a
stand Of waiting vehicles. They read
all the sensational extras, and firmly
believe the present depression III their
labor market to be the forerunner

rule. and they will be assisting in the
great revenge.
