Kurloff of kiev are mentioned for the
position made vacant by the murder

reported to include Grand Duke Mich

the inability of the prefect OF police to
protect his own person against the at

determination not to be taken alive,

caused by poorly selected and improp-

perience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely Of its merits.
From overworl1. l suffered several

commenced its use, the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-

that it has a most prominent place in

KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
lnVeHtsd That a Tilted Lover Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many Of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our I'M
dergTaduates of to-day, but these have
not so romantic an origin as the first
of these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has it that William
Lee, who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
both stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically. was driven to
this piece of ingenuity by the cruel
fiouting OF the lady he loved, who hap
pened to be a stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart, he sought to
make it on her purse by killing her
means OF livelihood: and one is glad

ONCE THE PATH WAS SMOOTH.
Discard That Old Adase About the
Course of True Love.

A remarkable wedding has lately
taken place at Naples, remarkable be-
cause of the extreme youth and alert
ness of the happy couple. When Ce-
lestino Giordano, aged 10, with Gicelia
Nappi, his chosen bride, went to the
registry Office to be married, the com
missioner was very loath to perform
the ceremony, for the pair had not
reached the age limit prescribed by
the civil code. The young folks had
evidently expected to have to over
come difficulties to their union, for
while the commissioner was hesitat-
ing as to what he should do, they
sprang a surprise on him and settled
the matter by producing a royal de-
cree of dispensation, which they had
obtained direct from the king. This
being proved genuine the children
were joined to wedlock in the pres
ence of their parents and a large gath
