ROYAL REVENGE.

n UEEN CHRISTINA Of Sweden, only
u daughter of the great and good Gus
tavus Adolphus, kept all the gossips
Of Europe in a ferment for many
years. After holding down the throne
of her fathers for four years, she vol
UNFAIRLY abdicated in favor of her
cousin, in order that she might travel
and enjoy herself. At that period she
was young and beautiful and the most
learned and accomplished woman Of
her tirhe, and it is not strange that the
"Welcome to Our City" sign was hung
out whenever she deigned to visit a
burg. '''5' .oslz..
Toward the close of the year 1857
she. honored France with her presence,
and the palace of Fontainebleau was
turned over to her with the compli-
ments Of the season. She was attend
ed by royal retinue of servants, and
also BY her grand equerry, Marquis
Monaldeschi.
This gentleman, as his name sug-
gests, was an Italian, and for con-
siderable time. had been the queens
favorite. They were recognized as
lovers. and, since the queen had abdi-
Gated, it seemed more than possible
that they would be married and go to
housekeeping. The marquis was ex-
traordinarily handsome and gifted in
all the graces and polite mannerisms

Effect Of Darkness on Gold Fish.

A scientist kept gold fish in a roomy
tank and with plenty of food, but in
absolute darkness. He kept it up for
three years. and then observed the
notifications that had occurred in the
fish. The color first became black. but
after the second year 1t became golden
again, and the reason for this is inter
esting. In the first instance the dark
pigment cells spread out and covered
the subjacent layer Of crystals which
gives the gold fish its golden sheen. In
the second instance the phagocytes de-
voured the dark pigment cells. and thus
re-exposed the golden layer. The
changes in the eye were even more in
teresting. The structure of the eye
was completely altered. The fish be-
came totally blind. The experiment
suggests that an Individual fish impris-
oned in a perfectly dark cave would
become blind. But 1t does not throw
any direct light on the origin of a blind
race of fishes in caves.-New York

The country is now spending well

spending for that purpose ten years
ago. Faith In good roads probably
Increased during the decade in an
even greater ratio, and it will be sur

This is mainly, of course, an effect
Of the motor cur; but lot of people
misjudge the motor car because they
forget-or do not know-that In all
the more prosperous rural regions a
gasoline vehicle nowadays is just
about as standard an implement as a
moving machine. The day has long
gone by when good roads agitation
could be discredited BY ascribing It to
bloated urban plutocrats who wanted
to ride comfortably.
By an act that became law last
month the federal government pur-
poses to contribute $75,OOO,OOO for
good country roads used by the postal
service, sharing the expense equally
with the states or other local units.

"Look Again." Said the Queen sternIy

of the time. He was charming man,
but entirely Inscriptions. When duty
took him away from his royal mistress
they wrote love letters, just as ordi-
nary people do, and the letters of the
marquis always breathed undying de-
votion. And, while thus convincing
the queen that he lived for her alone,
he was quietly laying siege to young
Roman girl of wealth and beauty.
In his letters to: this girl he ridi-
culed the queen shamefully, applying
contemptuous names to her; and. not
satisfied with this business, he sent
several Of the queens love letters to
her. that she might enjoy a good laugh.
But Nemesis. was on the false lovers
trail.
There was a certain cardinal who
had long been jealous of the marquis,
and who was anxious to be the queens
favorite. The cardinal had his spies,
and soon learned the details Of Monal-
deschi's treachery. BY SOME means he
secured possession Of the entire corre-
spondence with the Roman girl, and
turned the letters over to the queen.
Christina must have had a bad hour
when she read those letters, in which
her love and trust were ridiculed.
On Saturday. November 10, the mar
auis was summoned to the galerie des
Cerfs. long and gloomy apartment Of
the palace. He entered, bowing and
smiling in his accustomed manner.
The queen was there, with Father le
Bel and three armed strangers. Chris
tina's face was as cold and rigid as
marble. As the marquis advanced,
smirking, her glance brought terror
to his heart, although he had no Ink
ling Of what. was in store. Turning
to Father lie Bel, she said:
"Hand me those papers"
He produced the letters, which had
been intrusted to him by the queen.
She in turn handed them to the mar
quis.
"Do you recognize these?" she asked.
There was an icy sweat on the brow
Of the marquis, and his legs trembled
under him.
II have never seen them before" he
stammered, at Last.

4cABBAGEs AND A KING
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENr4uYsEN.

BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYSEN.
When the Walrus. In the time-hon-
ored verse, called attentt6nto the fact
that the time hsd come to speak OF
cabbages and kings, the beast did not
have any idea that .fha time. Mould
n come when there would: be Hhy actual
relationship between ;thAsfwo. Now
kings have comeito knoyShe value OF
the cabbage while the. value Of the
king has taken somewhat Of slump
in the opposite direction;
This story deals with an Oil King
and cabbage crop. Midas, with his
fund of gold; Croesus, long mentioned
as a marvel of money, and the other
owners Of large kingly chests were,
but ordinary pikers compared to John
ID. Rockefeller. He has in one vault
in the basement of the produce ex-
change in New. York more hidden
wealth than all Of the old kings put
together. '>:,s
Yet he has lively Interest in rails
ing cabbages.
His interest In this direction is valu-
able to all Of the persons In the coun-
try who have garden plots because 1t
is lesson In the. economy of space,
and tip from the richest man ih the
world as to the value of using every
spare spot for raising something from
the soil.
What he sees In New York is equally
possible on the most remote hillside In
America, and IT. Is for this reason
that am showing you picture Of
tho Oil Ktn0ss hhoo mn %oh kzlI
ing you how the map with the greatest
store, of wealth wisely. refuses to let
chance to raise even astiny crop be
wasted. 44
When I say cabbuges, r do not mean
that the patch Is confined to this one
thing. 1t is only one of many. All
of the garden products that can be
used In a tiny space are utilized, and
around the edges. to work in a little
art along with utility. there are, How

The Rockefeller cabbage patch Is
located in the yard of the world.fa:.
nous Rockefeller Institute ut Sixty.
sixth street and the. East river, New
York city. 1t Is In this remarkable
Institution that the wise men. of sci
enre try germs on monkeys and dogs
so that they can learn how to save
the lives Of babies and grownups. Many
of the greatest discoveries of science
have been made in. the big building.
But when the master of the millions
came along he saw something beside
the germs and the mysterious re-
searches of science in the vicinity. 1t
occurred to him TINT the germs had
nothing to do with the yard about the
place. and that no amount of bacilli
could interfere with putting the open
ground to some use.
So he ordered that the women and
children In the congested, poor neigh
b0rhood be given chance to raise
vegetables on the unused yard. The or
der brought about transformation.
Now on any day one may see the
woman with the hoe ut work on the
garden that fringes the skirts of
great learning. She Is not bowed by

to make better table for her little

Camps.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The war
department, though convinced that
danger of war with Mexico. has pass
ed, today stood by its original in
tention of sending to the border all
the militia originally called out.
The suggestion was made that the
forces not already entrained may be
held at their mobilization camps for
the present, but it was said officially
that no change had been made in
the original plans and none are in
prospect
Aside from the advantage of mob
ilization of the militia the war de-
partment deems it advisable to pro-
tect the border thoroughly against
raids while the diplomatic negotia-
tions are IN progress. These, it is
thought, will occupy three or four
weeks. In the mean time some plan
for replacing the militia with the
regular army may be worked out.

CATHEDRAL IS
UNDER FIRE
HEAVY SHELLS THROWN ON
THE vERDUN CATHEDRAL
BY GERMAN ARTILLERY.
REPULsE COUNTER
Counter Attack BY Germans North
of the Somme Last Night Re-
pulsed by French-French
Cavalry in Fighting.

PARIS, July 6.-The war Office
reported today that the Germans
last night bombarded the Yerdun
cathedral with heavy shells. -
A strong German counter attack
north of the Somme last night was
repulsed, the enemy retaaing two
small woods on a front of two-thirds
of a mile north of the village of
Hem. The French retaliated and
took wood northeast of the same
village.
The lull in the, fighting south of
the Somme last night was probably
due to the necessity of further ar
tillery preparation before the French
resumed their advance on Peronne.
Since the advance of the French
south of the river began Saturday
morning General Foch's troops have
taken the German second line Gil a
wide front, but are now facing new
and stronger positions before Pc
rome. With the French attacks
now almost in the outskirts of Pc
rome the Germans are receiving
heavy reinforcements, particularly
on the right front.
Southwest of Peronne there was
heavy fighting yesterday in which
French cavalry detachments took
part and the famous French 75's
did terrible execution. One cavalry
detachment succeeded in breaking
through gap in the German line
and actually approached the Pc
e-Chalancourt railway before
they were driven back by the Ger
man fire. So rapid was the French
advance south of the Somme in the
early stages of the battle that Ger
man detachments were cut off and in
some instances surrounded before
it was known they were being at
tackled A French company which
cut off all avenues of escape found
several occupants asleep in their
dugouts.
The region south of the Somme
over which the French are advanc-
ing is full of historic interest. In
1870 the Germans installed artillery
in a small village southwest of Pc
rome to lombard that city. The
village was honored after the wal
with the decoration of the legion OF
honor for its heroic resistance
against the Germans. The town OF
Peronne was strong fortress in the
| mediaeval ages. Charles the Sim
pie was imprisoned and died there
Peronne surrendered to Lord Wei
lington in 1915 and to the Germans
in 1871 after most stubborn re-
sistance.

STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF DIS
AGREEMENT OVER DISPOSE
TION OF L. ). FORCES.
MAY Be WITHDRAWN
Army Officers Believe That Three
Months VIII See the Entire Ex-
pedition Out of Mexico-May
Establish Border Zone.

WASHINGTON. july 6.-Danger
In Mexico is not yet passed. The
present crisis is over, but the border
problem remains. There are three
things yet to solve:
Withdrawal of the punitive ex-
pctiition, cooperative border patrol,
the cleaning out of Northern Mexi-
co and the establishment Of peace
and order.
Most officials believe that three
months will see the American forces
ont of Mexico, and greater part
OF the militia back at home and the
border under protection of strong
force of regulars.
President Wilson and his cabinet
will take up this question tomor-
row. Ii is known that military au-
thorities believe there is no further
reason why the American expedi-
ton should remain in Mexico-at
least no farther south than the pa
troll zone of the border itself. II Is
known further that these authori-
ties feel it to be unnecessary and
impractical to retain the different
militia organizations on the interna-
tional line for patrol duty longer
than three or four months, or not
80 long IL the situation continues to
clear UP. 1t is considered certain
that the army will ask for more
troops, and President Wilson and
his advisers will likely follow the
army's recommendations.
