A Strenuous Wooer.

1.-THE "reminiscences of Bismarck
contains an account Of his courtship.
He was young Prussian officer when
he first met Johanna Won Puttkamer.
but he made application at once to her
father for permission to pay his adj
dresses. Aghast at Bismarck's pro-
posal, the old gentleman did not abso-
lutely decline it. Instead he wrote Civ
ing permission to pay sort of visit
Of inspection" at the Puttkamer home.
Bismarck FASTENED to Reinfeld. The
whole Puttkamer family was lined up
to greet him. The father and mother
glared at him solemnly, and Johanna
herself stood between them, her eyes
cast modestly downward. With the
swift, whirlwind decision that scored
Bismarck his later political triumphs
he carried the situation by storm.
Galloping up the driveway, he leaped
from his horse, ran forward and flung
his arms around Johanna, taking no
heed of her scandalized parents and
catching her to his breast and cover
ing her blushing face with kisses.
After that there could be no talk of
probation" or waiting" The betroth-
al was necessarily an accepted fact.

Notorious Women Gamblers.

One of the most notorious female
gamblers of the eighteenth century
was Miss Pelham, the daughter of the
English prime minister. She not only
ruined herself at cards, but would
have beggared her sister Mary as well
had not their friends interviewed and
insisted on the sisters separating. Hor-
ace Walpole gives pitiful account OF
"poor Miss Pelham sitting up all night
at the club without a woman, losing
hundreds a night and her temper, beat
ing her head and making a scene be-
fore the young men and the walters"
Another writer says that the unhappy
woman often played cards with the
tears streaming down her checks.
Lady Mary Compton, an old maiden
lady, a contemporary Of Miss Pelham
and, like her, addicted to gambling
had the same propensity to tears
When she lost, we are told. she wept
bitterly-"not for the loss itself" she
was careful to explain, "but for the
unkindness of the cards"

where sit numbers of young women
who thus calmly announce that they
are candidates for hymeneal honors,
Some of these aspirants to matrimony
so patiently awaiting choosing are
quite pretty and have intelligent faces,
but those of Mongol caste must needs
linger long for partner if personal
beauty enters into the equation.

PAPER AND CANVAS.
An Aneedote of Turner, the Great
Landscape Painter.

An Aneedote of Turner, the Great
Landscape Painter.
In a book entitled "Stories of the
English Artists" Il. Davies and G.
Hunt tell an interesting anecdote of
Turner, the great landscape painter.
He disliked to part with his pictures
and when he sold one Invariably wore
look of detection and oppression. If
a friend asked him what was the mat
ter he would sorrowfully explain, 1--WE
lost one Of my children this week."
Once a rich Birmingham manufac-
turer, elliott by name, introduced
himself to the painter and stated that
he had come to buy.
Don't want to SELF or some such
laconic rebuff was the answer.
The manufacturer then drew from
his pocket bundle of banknotes, about
$4,000 worth.
Mere paper" observed Turner, with
grim humor, little softened, how
ever, and evidently enjoying the joke.
ITO be bartered for mere canvas
replied the persistent elliott, waving
his hand at the Building of Car
thage" and it's companions.
This tone of cool depreciation seem
ed to have n happy effect, and finally
elliott departed with some $4,000
worth Of Turner's pictures.

IN HIGH ATTITUDES.
The Most Common Ways In Which the
Heart ls Affected.

DR.. I. n. Hall, writing in the Amerl-
can journal Of the Medical Sciences,
says that the dangers to the heart In
high attitudes are the same as in other
places, but are greatly exaggerated In
some directions The troubles most
common and serious, he says, relate to
Inflammation of the heart muscle,
hardening Of the arteries and dilation
Of the heart.
The principle applied is this: The
heart and lungs have an increase of
functional work with each added de-
gree of elevation and the consequent
decrease in atmospheric pressure. TO
meet the increased demand on the cir
culation the heart must enlarge II the
usual amount of exercise Is taken. 1t
is not unusual for acute diation of the
heart to occur after slight effort on
the part of those whose arteries have
begun to harden and who long have
been accustomed TO atmospheric pres
sure at the sea level. The trouble with
those who suffer in high altitude, the
writer declares. is that they try to do
too much at first when they feel in
vlgorated by the bracing atmosphere.
Dr. Hall adds that even an ascent In
railway train may be fatal to those
who have but narrow margin of
heart strength, or the slightest exer-
ton at such time may produce an
gina pectoris. The average case OF
we'll compensated valvular disease will
do as well at high altitude as any
where else If the patient observes
proper precautions. In such n climate
he is less susceptible to acute rheuma-
tism.

A LUCKY SHOT.
Exciting Incident of Lion Hunt In
East Africa.

6NCltin9 tnCldent OF a GlOn TluHI III
East Africa.
In the Wide World Magazine there
is an exciting account of a lion hunt
in British East Africa. The party con-
sisted of Walter Cooper, Captain H.
and his sister. The young lady cap
tured four lions, while the men slew
five between them. The tenth lion was
killed through its desire to capture a
native carrier who, realizing that
things were becoming too warm for
him, had bolted. The following Is the
account of the misfortune which befell
the lion through his attempt to stay
the haste of the native:
The lioness, attracted by the sight
Of the fleeing man, swerved off sud
denly and made after the fugitive.
The man had not more than twenty
yards start, and the great brute rap
idly overlook him. Miss II. fired again,
and we men both fired as well, but we
were not near enough to make good
running shot. The wretched man.
with q courage born Of desperation,
turned at the last moment and hit at
the lioness with his rife. The blow
fell bit short, and the enraged brute,
swapping at what came nearest, caught
the weapon in her mouth at the muz-
zle. The pace at which she was trav-
cling was so great that Hassan was
hurled backward. and in falling his
finger caught the triggers, letting off
both barrels. BY the most extraordi-
nary piece of luck the rifle was point
ing straight down the beasts throat
at the moment, and down she went,
with her head nearly shot away, right
on top of him.
