 If the things are delivered the bride snaps them up. Possibly she has no real shoplifting propensities, but circumstances combine to make her a thief. Servants bring to her room all parcels of whatever size and shape that come to that front door Sc many of the things do belong to her that to read the label or listen to what the delivery boy says is consid- cred superf1uous exertion. And the bride is equally disdainful of pre- liminary examination. Egostically she rips off wrappers and digs into con tents.
 Yesterday I heard her raising the roof because a certain shop had sent her six pairs of black silk stockings, instead of the pink, blue and tan she had ordered After she had sent the stockings back and had the money re- funded I discovered the stockings were mine. I cannot afford to con- tribute these parcels to the brides wardrobe, so I am carrying them home"

TantaLum Pens.

Pens for writing purposes are being manufactured today in Germany by a process which is exciting some curiosity. The trouble found with steel pens is that they oxidize easily and the ink sticks to them. This fault is not to be found with gold pens; but, on the other hand, these are too flexible to be entirely satis. factory. Moreover. in order to form a point suitable for writing purposes, the material of that part of the pen has to be mixed with some hard metal like iridium and this operation is both complicated and expensive This new pen is of tantalum and comes to the manufacturer in the form of a black powder The pen that is made from this has the ten acity of steel and the fexibility of gold.-Harper's Weekly.

HENRY WARD BtfCHfR ON BLINDNESS.

It would be a dreadful thing to me to lose my sight, to see no more the faces of those love. nor the sweet blue of heaven, nor the my riad stars that gem the sky, nor the dissolving clouds that pass over it, nor the battling ships upon the sea, nor the mountains with their changing lines of light and shade. nor the loveliness of flowers, nor the furnished mail of insects. But l should do as other blind men have done before me; should take Gods rod and staff for my guide and comfort, and wait patiently for death to bring better light to nobler eyes. o ye who are living in the darkness of sin! Turn before it is too late to the light of holiness. else death will brlng to you not recreation, but retribution Earth ly blindness can be borne. for it is but for day; but who could bear to be blind through eternity.

The princess had been brought up
as a Protestant, and in order to enter
into this flattering alliance she had,
like the present Queen of Spain, to
espouse Catholicism. Her grandfath-
err, who urged her to take this step,
wrote letter at the time of her
betrothal saying: 1.-THE Lord may
make of Lisabethchen (she was called
by this endearing name by all her
family another Joseph, for whose
sake the divine blessing and protec-
ton may be upon our house. Fare
well, then, future grandmother of
emperors.'
So the pretty Lisabetchen was mar
ried by proxy to the stern Charles
VI. when she was II and he was %,
and was sent to join him in Spain.
where he was engaged in a struggle
for the Spanish throne. 1t is said
that on meeting and becoming ae-
quainted with her the "bewildering
experience of being perfectly charmed
by his own wife took him right out
of himself" and in a letter he wrote
to his wife's grandfather he said:

While the favorable aspects do not

THE MASTERPIECES OF LITERATURE
Dear What, in your opinion is
the masterpiece of American liters
ture? Kindly answer through your
column so that all our club members
may know. CLUBWOMAN.
The masterpiece of American IT.
erature, beyond doubt. dear madam,
is webster's dictionary. Webster
has style which is all his own, aud
while it is not light and fluffy and
calculated for train reading or harn-
mock diversion. its place in literature
cannot be gainsaid. We would not
gainsay it even If we knew what
gainsay meant.
We have found II a great work,
indeed. There is nothing better to
prop up the lame corner of a three
legged davenport and when it comes
to making high chairs for the iittie
nieces and nephews on feast days Il
is unsurpassed.
Webster can hardly be called opt-
mistic. There seems to be vein Of
pessimism running through his en-
tire story and while his plot may at
times seem obscure he is much
easier to read than Henry James or
Rudyard Kipling OF course the
reader is left in doubt as to whether
the villain gets possession of the
mortgages on the old farm, and the
fate of the hero is left entirely to
the Imagination of the reader, hut
these minor oversights will not be
considered by the trained reviewer
OF books.
Webster's versatility il ever
revelation to us. Tt seems as
though. in the course of his story he
uses every word in the English
language and his spelling Is SO near
ly perfect that he doesn't slip up ON
even "pulchritudinosity.' which il
some word, believe us, when one is
in a hurry. Webster Uses some
longer words than that, some OF
them long enough TO wind around
ex-President Taft's waist three
times and leave room for bow
knot. Webster has a large circuls-
ton and is read everywhere except
III tilt newspaper etlAd AlAdbaNiAhN W
fees and some of the women's clubs.
Webster is also a remarkable au-
thor in that, although he has been
dead many years. he continues to
write his dictionaries and new edi-
lions are out every year. We vote
for Webster Internationally as the
champion author and we are sure
some of the clubwomen will find his
books interesting as well as instruc-
tive.

as prince John the nickname

by Thurlow Weed shortly after young

be very exciting Both the Attorney

for making 1t possible that this angel
should become my queen. [ only

her merits, but I will do my best to

In 1717, when Elizabeth was 26 years
old, Maria Theresa was born, and ow-

heir. the princess, on her fathers
death, became ruling empress of Aus

Lady Montague, of England. described
the Empress Elizabeth in terms of
the most glowing praise. praising es-

hands. Her features, she admits,
were not regular, but in her mouth
there were Thousand charms that
touch the soul.
The Empress Elizabeth Christina
died when she was 3d. able to boast
of the fidelity of her husband and the
devotion of her famous daughter,
Maria Theresa.
