Among His Latest Victims Are an
American Mining Engineer and
a Grecian Countess-John Bull
Shown How Love Laugh, at
Law-Hospital Ward Made the
Scene Of a Pretty Romance.

New York.-Within the space of Q
brief few days. Cupid has played more
pranks than the most romantic school
girl could ever conjure up in her
widest dreams!
He has brought together an Amer
iean mining engineer and Grecian
countess at the mouth@ Of Mexican
mine. He has married of rich
young fellow to the nurse who pulled
him through appendicitis. He has pre-
sided at midnight wedding at which
dashing young naval officer and a
pretty chorus girl were the principals.
He has hired special train so that
q New York millionaire's son could
marry divorcee in another state.
And last of all, but not least, he has
arranged wedding on the high seas,
outside the international three-mile
limit, so that an impatient young cou-
pie wouldn't have to wait two weeks
for the banns to be published, thus
single-handed setting aside the stern
and implacable majesty of the British
common law.
It has been left for Miss Alice
Whyte and M. Hall Cowan to show
John Bull how love laughs at law
They Just couldn't wait two weeks
longer, SO they were married accord
ing to the rites of the Church of Eng
1and far out at sea. That saved the
two weeks banns and made happy
two young persons very much in love,
says the World.
The two young people come from
Windsor, Ont. The young man
popped the question four years ago
and got his whispered Eyes," sweetest
word In the world. But they couldn't
be married then, for the fact that the
young man hadn't been graduated
from the University of Michigan and
hadn't established himself in bust,

if to be used without the addition Of
ice, as the melting of the ice weakens
it. A heaping teRspoonful for each
cup Of tea wanted is none too much.
Pour boiling water over the tea
leaves, let steep three to five minutes,
pour on and cool. Some brands OF
tea require little longer sleeping,
and this must be attended to with
judgment. Most of tea made for icing
is allowed to stand or steep too long,
and thus the tannic acid is drawn out,
rendering the taste bitter or Strong"
and the effect on the stomach into
which it is taken very injurious. Serve
with plenty of cracked ice and slices
of lemon.
For beverage to take the place Of
coffee, take three teacupfuls of clean
wheat-bran, cup and a half of corn
meal, half a cup Of syrup or New
Orleans molasses, and one well-beaten
egg. Rub all these together, mixing
thoroughly, then parch in the oven
until brown, and keep in a dry, cool

NOTES.

Eoliennes make the prettiest of ex.
ira dresses-and the mercerized
eoliennes are best liked Of all.
Some of the new dimities show
bands almost like tapes, which serve
in place of the clusters of the cords
that usually characterize them.
Often the tapelike bands cross and
recross. until pretty little lattice

climb.

tie or big squares outlined with the
merest thread OF color-are particu-
larly good.
Ribbons, both broad and narrow,
are used, with a leaning to sash
widths, since sashes (made up, gen.
erally) are worn again. Girdles, how.
ever, are almost as much seen as
ever.
Natural color stra#s are having a
great vogue, SO great that lot Of odd
shades have been dragged in to give
greater variety. Burnt straw is one
of them-just little deeper and rich
er than the butter color, which heads
the list. Leghorns in this curious
burnt tone are mighty interesting
version of the straw.
Tinsel belts-the better quality
still are popular for wear with suits.

The doctors shook their heads. The
lad that lay on the operating table be-
fore them was pretty far gone. He
had gangrenous appendicitis, and the
poison had already set in.
Zone chance In q hundred" said the
operating surgeon as he prepared the
instruments and motioned to his as
sistants to administer the anaesthetic.
"And now, Miss Vanhorn, ii you
please" he said, turning to pretty
trained nurse who stood ready to help.
Soon the ether had done its work
and the knives began. An hour later
Carl A. Jaeger, the patient, was back
in bed, slowly coming out Of the in
fluence Of the anaesthetic. At his
side sat the trained nurse, Miss Van
horn, with a look of concern upon her
fair face, for the case was very grave.
Would the young mans temperature
slowly fall and recovery set in? Or
would his heart give out under the
tremendous strain of the ether and
the shock, and he pass away as a
tale that is told?
The young man stirred and moaned.
The nurse famed his forehead, bead
ed with cold drops of sweat. He
moaned again. She watched him as
closely as cat watches mouse.
He slowly came back to conscious
ness.
/ I'm thirsty" he moaned.
The nurse gave him a spoonful of
hot water. A full drink of the cold
water he craved might have meant
death just then. When he asked for
food he got sip of milk, nothing
more.
The days went by and the young
man slowly improved Finally the
surgeon made his last visit.

to give up the acquaintance of Miss
Vanhorn when he was discharged,

Mr. Schroeder pleaded his case and

came back to Brooklyn to be married.
There a few days ago they were wed.
; But this didn't end the ceremonial
part of the wedding. The countess
wanted also . wedding in the faith

into automobiles and were whisked
over to Manhattan and up to the little

builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in q physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many Of them gained q won
derful knowledge Of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
In the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 50

fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
Ill kinds; so, il we but take tho pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
Of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
It was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief Of these was q rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure Of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink

that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.

Strenuous girls are finding a new
and lucrative profession in teaching
their own sex games and physical ex-
ercises in schools.
At st. Brides Institute there is a
prosperous school, with four or five
teachers, where girls are given a two
years training In the work, and from
it they go forth to earn from $500 to
$1,000 per annum. Thirty girls are
at present going through the course.
More than twenty of their predeces-
sors now certiflcated are at work, for
there is a steady demand for these
young women.
This training is no childs play. A
girl who enters for the course has
to be at work either in study of gym
nasium for FIVE hours every day of
the term. Sixteen is the minimum
age for entry, but most Of the girls
are eighteen when they start. There
are also games to be learned
