PREFERS LOVE TO THRONE
Grand Duke Michael Of Russia LOYAL
to Morcanatic
Wife.

St Petersburg.-That love is better
than a throne seems to be the opinion
of the Grand Duke Michael Alexan-
drovitch, brother of the car, who has
definitely renowned all his rights to
the throne, refusing to annul his mar
ganatic marriage, as the issue of
which a son was recently born.
The grand duke was married Sc
cretly nearly three years ago to Nine.
Mamontoff When very young this
beautiful woman OF many accomplish
ments married Sergius Mamontoff, a
Moscow millionaire. The marriage
was an unhappy one, and when the
grand duke visited Moscow he met
Nine Mamontoff and fell in love with
her
She reciprocated his affection and
at her request Mamontoff divorced
her Her family urged her to marry
again. q will find you a husband"
said the grand duke to her, and he
actually married her to a young officer
of Cuirassiers, who was her husband
in name only and who afterward di-
vorced her.

duke went to Moscow and there after
some difficulty found a priest willing
to marry them The car, who was

MACARONI OF GREAT VALUE
Modern Cooks Would Do Well to Avail
Themselves Of the Advantages Of
This Highly Nutritious Dish.

Macaroni is one OF the foodstuffs OF
which the average cook does not avail
herself nearly so much as she might
do to advantage. It may be served as
a saYory or as a sweet, farinaceous
dish, and 1t possesses the advantage
Of containing sufficient nutriment to
qualify II to take the place of a meat
dish when desirable In this latter
case it should be noted that while
macaroni is well supplied with nitro
genous and starchy elements, it is
lacking in fat, and it is consequently
well to enhance its value by the ad-
dition of butter. cream, cheese or a
little good stock of gravy. Macaroni
should always be plunged into plenty
Of boiling water to which there has
been added a little salt Continue
the boiling for from 80 to 40 minutes,
or until the macaroni is tender, when
the tubes should have become double
their original size. Drain the maca-
roni and plunge it into cold water for
a moment, to prevent breaking and CO.
hesion, and it is then ready to be
dressed for the table 1t is to be re.
GREETED that macaroni does not enter
more largely into the dietary of the
working classes of America, not less
because of its cheapness and the ease
with which it may be prepared thar
because Of its nourishing qualities.

MOSAIC LAWS FAR ADVANCED
Peculiar Distinction Of Permitted and
Forbidden Foods Has Been Vim
dictated at Last.

There have been gathered cQlleo-
ton of facts to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
in some cases in advance of them,
says Harper's Weekly.
The Jew thousands of years before
Christ, settling in a semi-tropical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or she'll
fish. and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Taimud
a method of slaugbtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day in our markets as the most sant-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results of his re-
searches in bacteTiology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did
not forbid infected poultry as food. 1t
was only few years ago that German
specialists discovered that fowl tuber-
culosis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the
Gentle world did not fully accept I'm.
til a century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods of the
year, but the removal of whole fami-
lies in summer out to camps, where
for a time they could live close to ma
ture. Many of the laws of Moses were
prescriptions intended for the health
of both mind and body.

where Paul watched, rode the yelled
woman of his dreams.
He stared in terror at her, saw her
lead the line forward, heard the muir
derous shouts of the attacking Arabs;
then the rife fire cracked in and
of q sudden horses and men went
down. White-robed bodies Uttered the
plain. Riderless horses galloped mad
ly here and there, found each other,
gathered as If by mutual understand
ing into line, and trotted back again
toward the camp in as orderly pre-
cision as though their riders still con-
trolled them.
The battle had become general now.
Screened as he was by the cover of
the palm trees, Paul was out of the
Immediate zone Of rife fire, but the
shells tore over him, hurting the
boughs upon the sand and delving
graves among the debris of the dunes.
But Paul had no thought of his own
danger. Fascinated, self-forgetful, he
watched the reforming line of Arab
riders sweep forward once more. And
at their head she rode again, undaunt-
ed. reckless, veritable angel of
battle. Once she turned round in her
stirrups and shouted to her wavering
forces. Again the line rode on;
again that death-dealing rife fire
broke forth. There was no resisting
that. The line shriveled away. The
battle was over.

after all, for the Turks had packed
their tents and drawn away their i'm
pediments during the night. When

cied he heard the whirring of great
wings above him. The sound passed
through his mind like the shadowy
fancy Of dream. He hardly felt the
sand shoveled away or the hands that
hoisted him from the pit. 1t was the
taste of brandy in his throat and the
long succeeding draught of cooling
water, infinitely grateful; above all it
was the agony of the returning circu-
lation in his limbs that brought him
back to consciousness.
When he opened his eyes he found
himself lying il the shadow of great
aeroplane. At his side stood an officer
wearing the uniform of the Italian
aeronautical corps. Within the ma
chine, strapped carefully to the up
rights, her face pale as death, her
eyes closed, was the unknown lady.
But when Paul stared, not yet quite
sure of his surroundings, into the
face of the man who had rescued him,
he was more amazed than at anything
that had occurred during his adven-
ture. For this was Captain Won Holz
rath, whom he had met in antagonism
on the Long Island shore that day
when he had his first meeting with
Mademoiselle.
The captain gazed into Paul's face
steadfastly; he knew him, too.
Il am glad that we have met again."
he said. ct is far cry from the COM
mand of an Austrian battleship to that
of an aeroplane scout in the Italian
army, you think. Nevertheless, many
things are possible which might seem
impossible to you now, as you will

and continued in low voice, filled
with intense earnestness:
'Relinquish your hopeless quest,

the chance task of rescuing you from
a living death which was laid upon me

merely part of humanity's code. But,
Monsieur, let me warn you, urge you
to go back to America. You do not
understand the strength of the forces
with which you have to contend, or
the impossibility of your aspirations"

out his hand. The captain grasped

MODERN USE OF CHURCHES
New Ideas In Meetings and Socials
Would Shock Puritans and
Old Ministers.

The churchman-minister or lay
man-of the Puritan stamp of two
centuries ago, or his descendant who
lived in New England at any time in
the nineteenth century, would be
grievously shocked if he could look
in upon some of the gatherings in YES
try or other church apartment, which
are held on the Sabbath under the
name of Pleasant Sunday Afternoon,
or something similar.
Suppose for the moment that Dwight
L. Moody should scan the weekly cal
endar of the church in which he was
to conduct a revival service and find
the announcement of an address by
a distinguished musical director on
How to Listen to Grand Opera" to
be given between the morning and
evening services.
What would Camp Meeting John
Allen say or think should he be sum-
moned TO a midweek evening vestry
party by printed invitation bidding
him to come hungry" and bring his
best and latest story" and upon ar
rival discover that l. was a regular
ladies' night" of the MEMS Noisy
and Stay-Up Late Club"
These are two incidents in the
broad and diversified program in
which nearly every church In Boston
has taken part during the last few
years with increasing success and at
tendance. The two are chosen for
illustration because they are so radi-
cally different from the old-fashioned
ideas of anything distinctively re-
ligious in character.
