"filled a place in tfte requirements of modern life, and the question arises as to whether the frequent drinking of waters strongly impregnated with car bonic acid gas has any prejudicial ef fect upon the health. It is an inter , .-, esting feature of the case that total abstainers formed -at one time the chief patrons of aerated beverages. The pleasant, sharp taste of soda -water, lemonade; and so forth formed an agreeable contrast to the usual drinks of the teetotaler. The lemon .-.squash made with soda water was a '- much more interesting beverage than V .- etlll lemonade, and so 'the minerals' made a very acceptable addition to 'the beverages of a class of persons -whose views we all respect" The Submarine Boat ' The French government has experi mented with no fewer than 16 types "of submarine boats, yet no entirely satisfactory results hae been attained. The motor question presents one of the chief difficulties. What is wanted is an 'apparatus which works equally well -under and above water. The present tendency is to arrange the larger boats for offensive, the smaller for defensive purposes,, and it is in tended to increase the former to a ' displacement of 500 tons. The exten sion -of the armament from -one tor pedo tube to seven is considered by some foreign experts a mistake, as no boat Is likely to fire more than two. While considerable progress has been made in the art of managing the boats within the past year, says the New York Post the sighting question still presents serious difficulties, al though the officers claim to be satis . fied In regard to the facilities for ori entation and aiming. Excessive con fidence in the 'present types of boat is one" of the French faults; .It led last year, among other .things, to the Blzerta disaster, by which 12 men lost their lives. Still, France leads the world in the construction and manage ment of submarine boats. England ranks next She adheres to the elec tric motor, and has reached a displace ment of 300 tons In the latest boats. .In Germany, as here, the submarine 'boat is still regarded as a very im perfect instrument of warfare. - Ballooning Up the Mountains. ; A balloon railway is now running up' the mountains at Salzburg, Aus tria. It consists of a large captive balloon attached to a single steel rail way which in turn is fixed firmly to the side of a steep mountain, whose precipitous slopes' no other form of railway could climb without making a series of serpentine detours and pass ing through the tunnels. The bal-. loon remains balanced in the air about ten yards by a stout wire cable, and it. is moved up and down the 'side of the mountain at the will of 'the' engineer. For an ascent the balloon itself furnishes the- lifting force by means of hydrogen; for the descent a large reservoir attached to the bal loon is filled with water at the higta .est station and serves as ballast Un- der the balloon Is a circular car seat ing ten persons. The wire cable passes through the floor of the car to a speed regulator beneath, which is controlled by the engineer. The in ventor, Herr Balderauer, of Salzburg, claims that -the balloon railway will .replace the funicular railway in the future. . Four of Queen Victoria's grand daughters remain unmarried.

But when woman is cursed with the same spirit she .leaves a wake of trouble that involves many other men and women. She must use men to secure those 'things for .her which, she herself Is unable to secure. Men must.be her tools, made to, do her bidding under the influence of her fascination. In everyday life there are. of course, many minor examples of this, but now and then a woman arises who wanders over the two continents involving in her meshes men of international,prom inence strong men generally thought to be proof against such things. Career of Mary Boozer. A few years ago a South Carolina girl with the unromantic name of Boozer Mary Boozer, later changed to Countess de Poartales stirred up trouble in three nations and finally had her head chopped off by the mi kado of Japan. In her youth she was said to be a most beautiful type of the southern girL Tall, black-haired, lithe of body, she had such color as is given to those alone who spend their early days' in roaming over the mountains and riding half-broken horses across the blue, grass country. There was not a swain in the country who did not fall under the influence pf her sparkling eyes and keen wits. Hardly had she reached maturity before a duel was fought on her ac count fought in her presence. It was one of those bitter contests of arms where two men stand before each oth er shooting till one is killed. Leaning against a tree, she laughed carelessly until one of the men fell with a bullet through his heart And the reward to the slayer? A kiss of the fingers, a flash of bright teeth, and that was all. In a week her affections had turned to some other youth, only to inflame him for a few months. But finally she' did marry. A young man proudly car ried her off as his bride. From that time on he was unhappy. He was not strong enough to hold her in control and soon there was gossip In the neighborhood. At the country dances where, the two went she would pick out the handsomest man in the room and in an hour have him at her feet The hot-blooded husband was power less to check her and could protect bis honor only at the expense of a duel. Then one day after a particularly vi- clous story circulated about her he re turned to his home and demanded that she take more care. She listened to him, her head erect her eyes flashing, and then, drawing a revolver, shot him' dead. She was not arrested and lived on to marry again, only to secure a di vorce. She had some money and final ly resolved to go 'abroad. The life of the south was not lively enough for her. She hungered for a wider field. Going to Paris, she at once became the center of a throng of admirers. Her type, 'unknown to Parisians, fas cinated the Count Pourtales, a noble who was prominent as a diplomat By marrying him she bounded at one leap Into the atmosphere .she craved an atmosphere of intrigue among men and women of intellect Her husband IBBOBBOBBBBBBBI CURE FOR SUMMER SHIVER. Treatment for Warm Weather Cold That Has Proved Effective. When on- a very hot 'day one. feels little shiver start somewhere and swiftly mount over the spinal verte brae until it 'dissipates itself In a well developed old fashioned December shiver all over the shoulders and nape of the neck one has got it this new tangled disease that has come to keep us from the monotony of mere hay fever and influenza. If that strangely untimely shiver be, further,, accompanied by a parched ness of 'the throat and nasal passages, crackly feeling of the lips, a dryness of the eyes almost amounting to pain, and hot flushes chasing one another sportively all. around one's shoulders and chest then there can be no doubt that one is "in" for the latest thing in uncatalogued misery a summer cold. ... The summer cold may be due to a lowered vitality or carelessness in feeding," said a well known 'doctor yesterday, A West End physician, In mBSm mm m tH , V-EBBmfljHP BLnBfTmmf mflSl HtBurEC jKw mnffl'mnnmm1 KK5J BmJm9Wiii M I B anW j BmMmmmmmmF I 0WwW6 AflfSOSrlOToYIIW isBsssmmmmmmmmmMl y u h, $j f t '.V w"- . KIB3D or Fortune was soon after sent to Japan on a mis sion for his government and 'proudly took his bride with him. He little rea lized the trouble that was before him. At the court of Japan she repeated the process of the -little South Carolina dances. Man after man flickered about this hot flame. In a few months -the foreign colony was all agog. The count found plenty to 'do in trying to protect his own and his "wife's good name. It was useless. It came to the usual climax a- duel. He .was killed. Executed' in Japan. .The'widowed countess, lovelier than ever, returned to 'Paris. In a '.short while she had married another French officer. Back again to Japan she went her husband on a diplomatic 'mission. In a month she had caused -so many duels, created so many difficulties, that the -mikado lost bis head 'and or dered her to be executed. The act was done and, strange to say, caused no international complication. The in side story has never been told, but .- 4 mufjHCD aaeiBscr a owe of the new that there must be one Is proven by the fact that the whole matter was hushed up and forgotten. Three na tions might have been involved in so rash an order but were not There was a little shopgirl in Stet tin, Germany, who, having read much in society novels of the gay life at court, longed, as many another shop girl has done, to taste of it But Anna was different from others of her class. She was beautiful and realized it and had a mind of wonderful versatility. Although uneducated, she devoted her self to study and in a short while had a superficial knowledge of many things, with the charm to make a great deal of it Saving up a little money, she made herself some dresses and shortly after disappeared from her native town. She turned up at Buda Pesth and secured rooms in the beau tiful and expensive hotel Unter den Linden. Here she met a Prussian count who instantly became fascinat ed with her. She bad registered as the Countess Rigiano, but naively let it be known that this was really not her right name. No, she was the Archduchess Katherina of Austria-Este, and, there fore, a near relative of Prince Ferdi nand of Austria-Este, then, heir pre sumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. She had a fortune, she said, under the care of the kings of Saxony and Ronmania. The income of 1,000, 000 marks would come to her on her twenty-first birthday. Acted Her Part Well. She was soon the belle of a small circle of Prussian nobility, each of whom had heard the story under the oath of secrecy. At the theater par ties and teas she carried off the hon ors of the gran lady with the title of serene highness. Outside this privi leged circle, she remained plain Count ess Rigiano, preferring, she. said, to live in retirement until she should come into possesion of her property. Of course every unmarried count and baron who knew her story instantly fell in love with her. She selected the only son of a rich family. The latter were. only too glad to give their ap proval. She was photographed in a family group which included every member of the family. That in itself was a letter- of credit to every shop man in -the kingdom. When she had run up credit to the sum of many thousand marks, so that in spite of her photograph shopmen had become a bit 'uneasy, she sum moned her father-in-law. She wished the loan of 175,000 marks for a' few reply to questions, 6aid he believed the summer cold was a distant dis ease; it strongly resembled its win ter congener; camejn much' the same .way, ran its 'course similarly, and wound up 'in like manner. . Probably the best of all cures in such conditions is what is called the "gold miner's cure." This is as fol lows: Before retiring for the. night steep the feet and legs half way to the knees in a bucket of water as hot as can be borne; the patient at the same time drinks, as hot as he can swallow, a pint of lemonade (or whis key and water, sweetened.) Just be fore rolling in under extra blanketing, to. induce perspiration, two or three grains of quinine. In the morning a long, refrigerant drink, a good rub down with a wet towel, no breakfast; and by lunch time the patient could almost tackle a pair of grilled, gate hinges. This cure has been proved successful so often among the miners as to be looked upon by them as infallible; ' The Voice of the Small Bey.

It would be several days before she could negotiate this sum. Would he favor her? Surely, willingly, gladly. It was an honor to be able to accommodate the archduch ess. He insisted upon making it 200, 000 marks. The next' day she fell III and the doctor Very kindly advised her to. leave .at once for a winter' resort She paid her hotel bills. For all any body knows, she' is still at that winter resort, "wherever that is. The chagrin over the-discovery of her trick was such-that the victims refused to say a word to the police. The story of the Humberts .is still. fresh in the. public mind; but it was so extraordinary a swindle that it will doubtles become historic. A woman, Mme.. Therese Humbert, was at the head of this. She was 'born on a small farm near Toulouse. She married the son of a senator who was supposed to inherit a large fortune. On the strength of this she began to borrow, : fell with wuer hi hs heabtt small sums of money whenever she was in difficulty. But the story was disproved and she found herself deep ly in debt It was then that she in vented her famous story of the Craw ford millions. She stated that in 1877 there died at Nice a rich Amreican by the name of Robert Henry Crawford, leaving Therese his' entire fortune of 120,000,000, in recognition of the fact that a few years before she had saved bis life. Trick Well Played. Shortly after this a nephew ap peared who said that he knew of a second will. The latter .put the will in the hands of a Havre lawyer and gave him power to act as his notary. As a result the will was taken into court This was part of the scheme of the Humberts a scheme to legalize the fiction. The 'money being tied up, it was natural that the Humberts should be forced to borrow. And borrow they did. The End of the Farce. Various efforts were made to recov er large sums loaned .the Humberts, but nearly all of these were unsuccess ful. When the creditors resorted to civil process for this purpose they found that their notes were qualified in various ways, the most common of which was that payment of the loan should.be made "after the Crawford compromise shall have been settled." or "payable after the conclusion of ac tions of law." It became necessary to . proceed along other lines and to raise the cry of fraud before the bubble could be pricked. This was done by the cred itor to whom they owned $26,000. He asserted that the safe did not contain the $20,000,000 claimed by the Hum berts and attested by the notary and he asked for an examination and in ventory. To this the lawyer for the "Crawfords" objected, but the lawyer for the Humberts, innocently believ ing in the integrity of-his clients, as sented. The result is known to the world. The safe contained only about $1,200 in securities and a few insig nificant articles of jewelry. . Two days before it was opened the Humberts had fled, from France. In the end these adventuresses come to grief in one way or another. A few brief years they reign and then they fall. There is no recovering after this It is the logical end, and a bitter end. Never yet was the voice of con. science silenced without retribution. Anna Jameson. OBLIGING.
