GIRL is TOLD SHE CAN'T
Paris, Jan. 6.-Mlle. Marie Ker-
guel, a midonette, is in a bad fix.
Marie wants to get married,
but Paris authorities say she can
not because she does not exist,
and Marie would like to know
what she is going to do about it.
So would Jean Poncet, the man IN
the case.
Marie and Jean strolled into
the registrars office at Lorient,
suburb, last Saturday. They
held each others hands, and
blushed a great deal
"AhT said the police registrar,
"a bridal couple, is it not?"
Jean struggled bravely with his
heart, which was butting into his
throat, and remarked that it was.

lady" asked the registrar.

And where was she born?"
asked the registrar.

January, 1894. This is her birth

his books to get a record of the
birth. He came back wearing
puzzled look.

"AhY said the registrar, "but

Jean and Marie returned to
Marie's home wearing sad and
puzzled expressions. There they
learned the truth.
Marie's birth never. had been

date illness of Marie's mother

The Rhine May Get the DANUBE.

OF late the evolutions of the course
Of the Danube above Vienna have been
the subject of much research. Accord
ing to most authorities, the source of
the Danube is in the two streamlets
called Bregach and Breg, which de-
scend from the TANKS of the Black
forest, in the grand duchy of Baden,
and unite at Donauschingen with a
spring, regarded by some as the true
source. The stream from this point
flows southeastward toward the bases
Of the Rhine and the Lake of Con-
stance through the calcareous beds Of
the Swabian Jura and at certain points
into sinks and riffs. Coloring matter
has shown that there is a leakage of
this subterranean water to the Rhine
basin. The prediction of a German
scientist is that the whole of the DAN
ube above Tuttlingen will some day
be captured by the Rhine.-New York

A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE.
Tahiti, In the South Seas, a Place of
Charm and Leisure.

taste of the whole charm and beauty Of

who is toiling in some English town
were to be suddenly transported to one
of the south sea islands, in the neigh
borhood of Tahiti, and had a vision Of
the beauty that is there and then were
to be transported back again to his
prosaic and ugly surroundings he
would say, "At any rate have had my
dream" That is how one feels when
one has seen Tahiti. One feels one has
had ones dream.

CROWNED WITH A SILK HAT.
West African Savases Have Queer
Way of lnaugurating a King.

In ''The Fetish Folk of West Africa"
Mr.. Robert n. Milligan describes the
grotesque ceremony of inaugurating a
native king: .-----Assss.u<a.s..---.,
The king was chosen from among the
people by the elders. and he was select
ed for his wisdom. The ceremonies of
his enthronement were such that he re-
Quired not only wisdom, but also cour-
age. physical strength and superb di-
gestion. The mans first intimation
that he had been chosen by the elders
was an onrush of the entire tribe-not
to do him honor, but to abuse and in
suit him in every possible way.
They would hurl opprobrious epithets
at him. curse him, spit upon him, pelt
him with mud and beat him, for, they
said, from this time on he could do all
these things to them, and they would
be powerless to retaliate. 1t was their
last chance!
They also reminded him of all his
failings in graphic and minute particu-
lars. If the king survived this treat
kings house. where he was solemnly
invested with the insignia of the king
ly office in the shape of a silk hat No
one except the king was permitted to
wear silk hat.
Following the Inauguration ceremony
the people came and bowed before the
new king in humble submission. while
they praised him as enthusiastically as
they had before reviled him. Then he
was fed and feted for a week, during
which time he was not permitted to
leave his house. but had to receive
guests from all parts of his dominion
and eat with them all. These ceremo-
MES ended. he turned to the compare
lively easy and commonplace duties of
his kingly office. This custom. like
many others. has passed away under
the influence Of civilization.

SPLEND0RS OF SPACE.
MatehIess Beauty of the Milky Way as
Seen In a Telescope

Scen IN d IcieSCCpe.
The Milky way, Or galaxy, is an ap-
parent ring extending entirely around
the universe of stars visible in the
largest telescope. 1t is composed Of
suns in literal millions. They are so
remote that, as seen from the earth,
they appear to be close to each other.
while really they are separated by
millions and billions of miles. To the
eye the belt of soft light looks like a
continuous band of cloth of pearl. but
telescopes have the effect of bringing
objects nearer. This separates the
filmy cloud into many millions of gilt
tering but minute points on the black
background Of space. At a distance
forest trees seem to be close together.
but as they are approached they sep
arate and stand alone
1t is next to impossible to describe
the matchless beauty Of the Milky
way as seen in a telescope of great
power. Carpet a large room with
black velvet. Hang many electric
lights in the ceiling. Throw down and
scatter all over the black floor bushel
of minute diamonds. rubies. pearls.
saphires, opals, amethysts and other
gems. Then turn on the light.
You would have a faint imitation of
the supernal glOries of the galactic
hosts. For the appalling depths Of
space look black in our great tele
scopes In places these suns look by
perspective as though they were ar
ranged in piles. heaps and banks or
built up into colossal windows, or
twisted into spirals. or dashed into
wisps and cosmic spray. In some
places the concentration is so great
and dense that only the most power
full telescopes on earth can magnify
enough to bring out details. A few
clusters exist that have not so far
been resolved into these needle points.
And the height Of human happiness
is to watch these vast congeries Of
distant suns in a huge telescope

Magazine.

LOTS OF RUSSIAN MOBILES.
Their Blood May Not Be Blue, but They
Have White Bones.

In reference to all amazing prodigal-
ity of Russian titles Rothay Reynolds
in My Russian Year" says:
In Russia all the descendants of a
hereditary nobleman are noble, and all
the descendants of princes, counts and
barons enjoy the right to use those
titles; hence there are rich princes and
poor princes, princes with distinguish
ed manners and princes with no man
ners, elegant princes and princes you
could not possibly be seen walking
down Piccadilly with. princes in pal
aces and princes in garrets, princes
who are desirable parts and princes
who advertise in the newspapers for
wives with money.
"a glance at the st. Petersburg d.
rectory and rough calculation show
that there are some 200 men, women
and children in the capital alone who
all belong to the same princely family
and bear the same name and exalted
title
1.-THE first prince met in st. Peters
burg was the head waiter of the Hotel
de France. He had an incontestible
right to the title and was an excellent
servant. His case. however, ought not
to be cited as an instance of the decay
of the Russian nobility. for he was a
Tartar from a part of the Caucasus,
where princes were so abundant that
when Russia acquired it only those
who could produce a certain number Of
sheep were granted the legal right to
preserve the title. Many borrowed
sheep for the purpose, and princes are
so common at the present day that
beggar boys in Ti1is give the title to
each other.
Russian mobiles do not have blue
blood; they have white bones. Com
mon people have black bones. In spite
Of the leveling sof society by the de-
basement of the nobility great impOr-
lance is attached to the possession Of
the white bones"
