A Queer New ENGLAND RetrothaI.

Hawthorne found romance on the
shores of old New England, and there
is a good deal of it unminded in the
modern life of the Yankees. The fol-
lowing story of love and marriage,
strange as it may seem, is true:
Years ago a summer boarder at a
cottage on point of land which form
ed the protecting arm of the harbor of
a fishing town in Massachusetts was
shown girl baby only few months
old. He looked at the babe and adj
mired, then said to the mother:
"Will you give me that babe for my
wife,"
The mother had known the young
man for several summers. She liked
him and therefore answered promptly,
YES"
''Will you promise never to tell her
that you have selected me as her hus-
band?'
YES"
The conditions of the singular be-
trothal were observed. The girl baby
grew up, and summer after summer
The young man courted her. When she
was eighteen he married her, and not
till then did she know that she had
been betrothed to her husband while in
her cradle. Can old romance be more
romantic than this story of a New
England fishing town Exchange.

Women Who Can't Rent Them, but
Who Like to Inspect Them.
The superintendent of an expensive
apartment building was telling his
troubles.

who really want one that makes me

glasses just now" said he TITS the
aggravation of the people who go about
inspecting fine suits which they can
not possibly pay for.
'You wouldn't imagine how many
women have the mania unless you had
my job for awhile. Only yesterday a
young married woman and her mother,
both smartly gowned, asked to see one
of my six room suits, which rents for
5000 month, and there's no kitchen
in the apartment either. We serve
meals from the basement at sis per
week for each person.
'sWell, those women were here fully
an hour. They discussed the outlook
from the various windows and the size
and plan of the rooms and every little
detail. They wanted to know if the
front room would be done over in old
gold and brown to harmonic with a
certain set Of furniture, and they
measured the windows to see if their
curtains would fit.

the young woman whole heap The
nice sunny room she wanted for a
nursery had only portieres between it

discussed this question for some ten
minutes. and when they finally decid-
ed that the kid should have a crib in
the same room with its parents I be-
gan to feel that the apartment was off
my hands.
'Then they insisted upon seeing the
chef and went over the subject of

UNLUcKY LAUNCHING.
Queer Accident to Largest Steamer
Dill

Queer Accident to Largest Steamer
Ever Built In Italy.
| A feeling akin to CONSERVATION has
been spread through italian shipping
circles owing to the mishap in launch
ing the biggest passenger steamer yet
constructed in Italy.
The day fixed for the launch was a
| typical Italian day-bright sunshine. a
cloudless sky and delightful tempera-
ture. The trains from both directions
of the Riviera took hundreds of eager
spectators to the place, and many
steamers, large and small took other
visitors down from Genoa, and, the
sea being quite smooth, these were
largely patronized.
Shortly after midday the naming
took place in due form, and the bottle
of sparkling asst, decorated with flow
ers and the italian colors, was broken
in the traditional manner. Twenty
minutes afterward the signal was Civ
en- that all was clear, and the vessel
gradually began to move, quickly in
creasing her rate of speed, and, amid
the cheering of thousands. the hoarse
tones of the whistles and the shrieking
of sirens, the launch was quickly and
triumphantly completed
But no sooner was the vessel fairly
afioat than she was seen to keel over
in an alarming manner. The cheering
ceased in an instant, and the huge
mass of the vessel slowly going over
was so horrifying to the spectators
that they started to flee from the spot.
The tugs had at once got hold of
the vessel, and she was pulled around
parallel to the shore. The inclination
was to port, and by this time the water
had reached the portfolios of the main
deck, some of which had been left
open, and the cabins quickly filed.
She was soon on her beam ends, her
tunnels being about two meters clear
of the water and parallel with its sur
face, and in that position she gradual
~ subsidized until all that was to be
seen of that great steamer was a por-
ton of her side, looking like the back
of whale, about a meter and a half
above the surface at its highest point.
The effect on the spectators was in
tense. The shipyard is so situated in
the corner Of the bay that the vessel
seemed to dominate everything. That
she should have entirely disappeared
in such fashion was horrifying to the
onlookers 1t seemed as if some terri
BILE nightmare had got hold of them,
and they could hardly speak The Off
Gals who had been responsible for the
construction stood there as if turned to
stone and remained gazing at the spot
as If they could hardly believe their
eyes, while the workmen who had
built her, and who with their families.
had almost cheered themselves hoarse
few minutes ago, now were weeping
and hugging one another in state bor-
dering on delirium.
Bad as the disaster was, it was not
rendered still worse by loss of life,
for the disappearance was so gradual
that all on board were got off before
the hull went under
Meanwhile she is lying on bottom
of sand and very small stones, and as
she is nearly submerged no great harm
can come to her as long as the weather
is not very bad.-Engineering.

MODES OF The MOMENT.

The close fitting sheathlike skirt is
rapidly making its way to popularity.
The English luncheon dresses are for
the most part made of chiffon broad
cloth in some pale shade, with tend
ency toward tan color.
1t is a noticeable feature of dresses
both for the street and the house, that
they favor some nationality. They
are strongly English, decidedly French
or typically Japanese.
1t is one of the features Of the styles
of the year that they are durable Aft
ernoon gowns are made of very dura
ole kind of broadeloth calculated to
clean well and so made that the gowns
can be freshened without taking them
apart.-Brooklyn Eagle.

His Wifa,s Advice.

Sir William Treloar told me once of
the nervousness he felt on the very
first occasion when he acted as chair
man. He was on tenterhooks lest he
should do anything malapropos and
consulted his wife as to how he should
act. Il do not know what are chair
mans duties. but if l were invited to
take the chair l think l should sit in
it, was Lady Treloar's reply. and this

which to purchase her ticket back to
town. Then a brilliant idea came to
her. She would buy her ticket with a
check. She gave the driver the two
dollar bill with the dime for a tip.
When the All train from town pull
ed into the station square shoulder
ed, forceful looking chap dived into the
depot and made for the ticket window.
Coming into the gloomy room, he did
not see very clearly the tall figure
which stood in his way.
The station agent was saying: 81
would be very glad to oblige you if
you could find any one to identify you,
but it is against our rules. Good after
noon, Mr.. Morgan. Want to use the
telephone?"
The tall figure swung around.
"Oh, Carleton, l am so glad"-
Then sudden silence on the part of
the two young people and wonder on
the part of the station agent. The
young man was the first to recover.
May l usurp my brothers place
and be of service to your" he asked,
rather distantly.
Dorothy flushed, then paled. but final
ly her face set resolutely.

and this gentleman will not accept a

Her glance fell, and Jimmy Morgan
had chance to bite his lip before he
spoke. without a trace of amusement
in his tones.

and there will not be another for an

Dorothy gripped her empty purse
and murmured, 81 think l had bet

smoothly, and while Dorothy drew a
quick, amazed breath he picked up
the telephone tranSmltter.
The car was deep in the gloom Of

old, mischievous, teasing way, with
the result that Jimmy felt that he
really could not wait, and what the
passing deck hand saw sent him on
his way grinning.

a Doctors Wonderful Discovery.

What gives promise of being one of
the most beneficial discoveries in the
history of the world was modestly
suggested by Dr. Albert Calmette, di-
rector of the Pasteur institute at Lille,
France, in the course of an address be-
fore the international conference on
tuberculosis in Vienna. He reported
that he had been able to render all
the animals used for experiment ut the
institute-cattle, sheep and guinea pigs
Immune against the most formidable
doses of tuberculosis virus-that is to
say, the immunization has been conn
plete for the eleven months during
which they have been under observa-
ton. If it be proved that it is perma-
nent or that it lasts even for period
of only a few years and that similar
treatment may be applied to human
beings the Importance of this little
heralded discovery can hardly be over
estimated.-Leslie's Weekly.
