MPEROR WILLIAM highly pleased tho democratic elomont which Is anxious ho should tnako It possi ble for thorn to remain loyal to him, by his gracious consent to tho morganatic marriage of Prince Oscar, his fifth son, and the sprightly Countess Ina von Basse-wltz-LevItzow, the empress' maid of honor. a inaeea me recent nistorv or Eu ropean royalty would lead to the belief that the mysterious theory of "equal birth" Is rapidly breaking down. Slnco beautiful Princess Sophia of Soxe-Welmar killed herself because she was restrained from wedding a simple nobleman the disintegrating tendency has been still stronger. Probably the greatest single factor In breaking down the walls of Hohenzollorn tradition of ex elu8lveness Is the curious position of Queen Mary of England. She Is the granddaughter of a German mor ganatic marriage. Her grandfather, son of Duke Alexander of Wurtemburg, renounced his royal rank to contract a morganatic union with the Polish Countess Claudine von Rhedy. He was then created prince and duke of Teck. So the Tecks do not belong to the "higher no bility" of Germany. This class Includes only those who hold the title under the holy Roman empire. If Princess Mary of Teck had remained In Germany she could only have been the mor ganatic wife of even the youngest son of a reign ing German family. Indeed, her marriage with a member of a fam ily which bad once reigned, but long ago lost Its possessions, would have been morganatic. By this quaint theory of "equal birth." a mar quis or even a duko may not have the "equal birth" of a plain count, supposing the count fam ily Is in the musty old list of the holy Roman empire and the duke and marquis are not. The Inconsistency of the "equal birth" theory was once admitted with much sang frold by Kaiser Frledrlch, father of the present emperor, according to an anecdote widely quoted. A coun try gentleman of tho lowest rank was discussing families with Frledrlch and Anally exclaimed: "I can't say I understand all these rules, but I claim my family Is qulto as good as the.HohenzolIqrns!" "Very true," quoth tho kaiser, "but tho Hohen Eollerns. have got on faster!" Perhaps the better standing of "unequal mar riages" Is to be attributed to the almost uniform felicity of such matches. Two non-royal mar riages in the English reigning family, that of Queen Victoria's daughter Louise to the late duke of Argyll and of King George's sister Louise to the duke of Fife, turned out most auspicious to the parties directly involved and at tho samo tag between tho English rulers and their people. In Germany Frederick William II, king of Prus sia from 1744 -to 1797, bought off his royal wife to agree to a separation so he could morganatlcally marry Frauletn von Voss, a maid of hqnor to his daughter, Princess Frederick. Saying It was sim ply a matter of Btate, the king's father-in-law, the old duke of Brunswick, actually arranged the separation of his royal daughter and the mor- Y V. VJ ftf?.

There was little romnnco about this transaction, but the king proved hap pier with his mor ganatic wife than he had been with his mate of "equal birth." So eager was Prince Constance of Hohen xollern to marry mor ganatlcally tho daugh ter of Baron Schenk that he abdicated the governorship of the principality of Hohen zollern In 1850 In fa vor of tho king of Prussia. Tho king graciously created tho bride-to-be countess of Rothenberg, and "they lived happily ever afterward." The same year Prince Adalbert of Prussia, for whom the present kaiser's third .-$& k n --, ,?i: "7K7 T'UiTT- boh is named, made a morganatic match with tho famous German dancer, Theresa ElBser, who had been created baroness of BarnTm. - ' sT&Sil tner" 'a the famous struggle of Duke George II of Saxe-MeTrilngon to secure recog nition for his wife, who wbb Ellen Franz, a pop ular Shakespearean actresB. She was tho daugh ter of an Englishwoman and a Naumberg Bchool master. On their wedding day In 1875 or imme diately thereafter, every one of the court dlgnl tarieB and all the ministers of state resigned. All sorts of downright insults were heaped upon ' m ii i t 9 i m i WHERE EMERALDS COME FROM i Where do they come from those flashing tones of pure pellucid green that often form the central setting of beauty's choicest gems? Diamonds form but satellites when that rarest of Jewels, a perfect emerald, flashes Its fire or lends its sheen to the jewel-lncniBted crown of royalty. Its birth Is hidden In the mystery of nature's alchemy, but Its beauty and charm have been recognized from the very dawn of history. EmeraldB flashed on the shield of Aaron; the Ptolemies of Egypt treasured them, and their lapidaries knew the art of engraving on their hard surfaces the mystic symbols of their ancient faith; tho Theban tombs revealed choice emer alds among their long-burled treasures, while Herculaneura and Pompeii have added their quota to the greed of modern excavators. Nerothat half-mad monster who once ruled the deBtlnies of Romo, used an enormous emerald for a mono cle, and In the filmy fabric of the gowns of Cleopatra emeralds shone In verdant luster. Mt. Zabarah, in Upper Egypt, is said to have been tho source of many of these ancient gethB, but centuries have passed since theso prolific mines were exhausted, and modern Jewelers must now depend upon the weBtern homlsphere for their Bupply. In tho spoils Plzarro Bent to Spain were found the first flno specimens of American emeralds, and thus was revealed another source of the manifold wealth of the now world. Perhaps the most valuable single emerald found In modern times Is tho ono In that famous collection of gems owned by the duko of Devonshire. It Is said to be a perfect hexagonal crystal, weighing eight ounces and 18 pennyweights, and two Inches long. It came from the mines of Colombia, and It Is this South American republio that furnishes the greatest supply of fine emer alds known to the world today. Not that Colombia is the only country that has emerald mines. Ecuador and Peru have contrib uted their Bhare to the world's supply, and In the former country the city of Esmeraldas (Span ish for emeralds) takes its name from the pre cious stones found in the vicinity. Among the Azteo treasures of Mexico were found emeralds as fine as those of the Peruvian Incas, and It is reported that Cortez was offered 40,000 ducats for one of the gems he gathered from the hoard of Montezuma. in some areas of the United States limited quantities of tlje precious stones are found, but tho gems o'f greatest beauty and value are to be had from the Muzo and Cosquez deposits near Bogota, the capital of Colombia. ENTERPRISING. "You want my consent to marry my daughter?" Bald Mr. Cumrox. "I do," replied the young man. "But my daughter Bars she wouldn't think of marrying you." "Still your consent would be a good recom mendation for mo with some other family." NO CHEAP GIRL. the heads of the talented woman until her tormentors received the well-deserved title, "souls of lackeys." The colonel of a Prussian regiment sta tioned In Melnlngen forbado his of ficers to greet the wife of the duke (now a baroness) when she passed them. The Hohenzollerns Ignored her. By a curious coincidence on the day when his son publicly announced his coming morganatic marriage the kai ser for the first time sent a message of friendly greeting to the wife of his "cousin of Saxe-Melnlngen," who that day, attained her seventy-fifth birth day. But whllo the RasBowltzes never have had tho privilege of "equal birth" with royalty, they have held tho honor of knighthood 'as far back as they can be trnced. It Is to be noted that the naBsowltzes wore knights in the days when tho ancestors of tho Princess Fugger was a master weaver In Augs berg. Yet the Fuggors now have the privilege of "ebonburtlgkolt!" Tho countess captlvatod tho hearts of all Germans who hnvo met her, aB well an tho membors of the royal fam ily, by her eparkllng wit and by her excellent singing voice. "After Wllhelm heard her sing he could not re sist her," 1b tho saying with regard to the ro moval of the kalBerB opposition. Bho Is not strik ingly beautiful, but her pleasing appearance has mndo. her a bjllllflnt statin. Jhoatpdgy couri f tho German empress. All the other women at tached to the empress' servlco have beon In her service since the early days of her marrlngo and either are, or are old enough to bo grandmothers. Tho counteBB best friend In her lovo affair has been the Crown Princess Cocllle, whose brother Is the grand duko of Meklcnburg, or which the countess' father Is minister of state. Coming from tho same place to Berlin, and with the same vivacity, good looks and pleasuro In pretty clothes and piquant society, they naturally formed an al liance against the stiff and conventional sur roundings. The day after the marriage of Prince Oscnr and Countess Ina the royal bridegroom will confer a settlement upon hlB wife. This Is the "morgon cabe" (mornlnc gift), from which the term "mor ganatic" comes. The marriage ceremony differs from the usual custom In that the brldo Joins her right hand to the bridegroom's left hand (a token of their unequal birth) and for this she cannot Inherit the estates of her husband or receive hlB royal name. Hence, the day after tho marriage ho bestowB a new title upon her, according to tho arrange ments of tho state, and a financial settlement. TIiIb morganatic marrlago Is considered as founding an entirely new family. Tho kaiser will grant the family a new name and Prince Oscar will be paid a lump sum Instead of his princely allowance. Morganatic marriages have from time, to tlmo been attacked an equivalent to concubinage This Is n mistake, for the wholo system of mor ganatic marriages has been built up by the Protestant church to preBorve tho purity of the marriage relation and nt tho same time preserve tho sanctity of royalty. Tho royal bridegroom cannot marry again In the lifetime of his morganatic wife unless she Is regularly divorced. Tho children tako tho tltlo' and rank of the mother, but thoy Invariably obtain high office and rich omoluraentB from the roynl family when they aro grown and, as In tho caso of the Tecks, frequently marry Into royalty. "I'll bring you a box of candy the next time I call," ho said. "But there aro so many kinds of candy," replied the sweet young thing," "What kind would you like?" "The dollar kind." AT THE CONCERT.

Can't Find This Perfect Woman. Belgium has been trying to discover tho perfect woman. According to a symposium in Brussels, she must pos sess the flguro of an American, the elegance of an English girl, tho hair of an Austrian, the eyo of an Italian and tho profile of a Spaniard. So far the creature has eluded discovery. Being minus the price of a haircut isn't the only thing that makes a bohemtan. Snakes Got His Roll.

He said he had Just monoy enough left to rldn to this city and took the state road out of town. Middlotown (N. Y.) D1b patch to New York World.

We havo used this food al most continually for soven years. "We sometimes tried other adver tised breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grapo-Nuta as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all. "When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postura and Grape-Nuts, I waB almost a nervous wreck. I was bo Irritable I could not sleep nights, had no Interest in life.
