Is head OF h house, positively refuses
to consent to a regular marriage.
It is said that Manuel's refusal when
his mother begged him to permit her
to marry again, was gentle but firm.
He pointed out to her that although he
loved her very much, he could not per-
init her to do such a rash thing as to
marry a man through whose veins
there courses no royal blood. 1t hap
pens that Amelie's lover is nothing
more thai a count-the Count OF Vas
salaes, a Portuguese noble.
When Manuel made 1t clear to his
mother that he intended to rule over
her with a firm hand, in regard to this
marriage business, II is said that she
grew petulant. IT won't go to your
wedding unless you let I"e marry the
count, so there!" she cried. Manuel
reckoned he could get along somehow
even IL his mother didn't grace the
wedding festivities with her presence.
1t Is probable that the marriage of
h former queen and the Portuguese
count will be q secret one and take
place in London. Queen Alexandra of
England, Emperor William and Anne
lies numerous other friends are pre-
pairing to be shocked when they hear
the dreadful news.
King Manuel is the chap who had all
sorts of thrilling escapades with Gaby
Deslys, the Paris dancer. He went q
little too far, and the unfeeling Portu-
guese populace took him by the nape Of
the neck and threw him bodily out Of
Portugal.

Enaland's Oldest Bowling Green.

There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on

when 1t comes to actual records, the
fine old English game of bowls would
appear to be as old as any. .
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
green's was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer a fire jack"

green while the other players gather

TWAIN AND INCOME TAX.
From Harper's Magazine.

It was one day in 1887 that Clemens
received evidence that his reputation
as a successful author and publisher
a nan of wealth and revenues-had
penetrated even the dimness of the
British tai office. A formidable enVel-
ope came. inclosing a letter from his
London publishers and a very largo
printed document, all about the income
tax which the queens officers had lev
led upon his English royalties as the
result of a report that he had taken
Buckenham Hall. Norwich, for a year.
and was to become an English resident.
The matter amused and interested him.
To Chatto g. Windus, his English pub
fishers, he wrote:
I will explain that all that about Buck
enham Hall was an English newspapers
mistake. ! was not in England, and IL /

But we won resist. Wen pay as II
allows me copyright has a right to tax

Rejecting on the matter, Clemens de-
cided to make literature of II. He con-
ceived the notion of writing an open
letter to the queen in the character OF
a rambling, ~garrulous, but well-dis-
posed countryman. whose idea was that

The letter proceeded to explain that
he had never met her majesty person
ally, but that he once met her son, the
Prince Of Wales, in Oxford stree, at the
head of a procession, while he himself
was on the top or an omnibus. He

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Their Various Method of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average E~nglishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places it in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit it, taps the -op of the
she'll, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at a time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng.
lishman, likes his eggs Of three min
utes, exactly. He then "peeIs" them,
places them in a glass, stirs and
mixes we'll together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes a practice of
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and let's the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
it as If he were drinking a glass of
wine.
An egg is only fit in an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water. and removed just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks it, pours it on a plate, and
proceeds to sop it up with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as II 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con
tents into a glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.
