The duchesses of Ancaster und Hamilton,

were both much Indisposed, but Charlotte
herself remained quite well and cheered

wife of Charles I., who was also nearly

The romantic wooing of the king of Spain
reminds one how rarely the element of ro

What could have been more brutally in

marriage of Queen Charlotte, wife of King
George III.? This princess. Just 17, was se
lected as consort for tho king of England.
Her life at Mecklenburg had hitherto been
of the simplest. She dressed "en robe de

she put on her boat gown and drove out In

she was to dine downstairs that night for

naturally very shy, she beheld the saloon

Her tiara of diamonds was very pretty,

Very different was the arrival of Cath

by Charles II, was laid up with a cough

George IV. 's reception of his bride. Caro

blue-eyed, bouncing, buxom girl waa im
plored by Lord Malmesbury to be verv
particular about her person and her toilet;
how the prince pretended to be overcome
at their first meeting and called for a dram
of brandy, and how the princess afterward
declared that he waa drunk on her wed

ness there!
Vntll quite recently very little liberty
was accorded to prlnressses. Queen Char
lotte, even after her marriage, was for
several years In thraldom to the dowager
princess of Wales and denied all diversion
and pleasure. She told Miss Burney that
even her Jewels had ceased' to dasile and
Interest her. "Believe me," she said, "It Is
the pleasure of a week, a fortnight at
most, and then returns no more." Oiie of
her greatest griefs, and one Which caused
her bitter tears,, was the determination, of
her mother-in-law that Charlotte should
wear her Jewels when she received tha
aacrament for the first time after she be
came queen. She had promised, her own
mother never to do this It was an act of
humility which had been strictly Inculca
ted on her; and It proceeded from the
same devotional Impulse which caused
King George to take off his crown when
he knelt at the altar during the corona
tion. The courtship of Queen Victoria bring
us Into a pleasanter atmosphere. On Prince
Albert's first visit to England she liked and
appreciated him at once, and Ms tastes
agreed with hera. "Every grace had been
showered by nature on this charming boy,"
says Baron Stockmar of him at this time.
The baron Judged him critically, calmly
and impartially until he finally became his
most attached and devoted friend and ad
viser. . .
Queen Victoria and her cousin met at first
unconscious of the object of their acquaint
ance, and when the desired Impression had
been produced the young prince, like a sec

and fit himself by study and careful educa
tion for his great position. On his return
to f England the queen writes: "Albert's
beauty is most striking, and he is most
amiable' and unaffected in short, ' fasci
nating." The young couple were genuinely In love,
and the queen Informed Lord Melbourne
that the conquest of her heart' was com
plete. So serious, so dignified, no studious
and so excellent a young man would Infuse
an element of poetry and deep feeling into
his love-making; but by the rules of eti
quette the proposal ItsPlf had to come from
the young queen, whose maidenly modesty
was somewhat embarrassed at tho prospect.
She summoned him' to her boudoir, where
he found her alone. After some desultory
talk due to her shyness, she suddenly said:
"Could you forsake your country for mo?"
The prince answered by clasping her In his
arms. In such simple fashion did a young
sovereign woo and win the husband of her
choice. London Chronicle-

RARE FEAST OF CHEMICALS
Cocktails that Were Simply Dream Con
cocted on the Spot.
LIKEWISE SOLID AND OTHER CONFECTIONS
Dill of Fare Compounded In m
Laboratory and Served to
Epicures, Who sighed
for More.
A chemical dinner, compounded by Frof.
Thomaa B. Stillman of the Stevens insti
tute, Hoboken, was pulled off In a New
Tork hotel recently. The feast opened with
a synthetic cocktail, and such a drink!
It was imprisoned sunshine, the mellow
soul of a thousand stills, the spirit of the
flasks of Florence! It gave the strenKth
which would have made any son of earth
eager to throttle the fierce Nutnldian lion
or hurl defiance in the tevth of the Great
Cham of Tattary. Science was the bar
maid, Calen the Inspiration, and the al
chemists .of. old looked kindly down from
the realms of ether while the limpid liquor
dripped through crystal ice into the thin
stemmed glass. It was a cocktail fit to
give life to stone and to warm the cockles
of the human heart.
The bill of fate waa made up of things
which were mostly prepared In the labo
ratory, of . the professor, who said that,
without doubt, 'he could make drinks and
sauces and condiments and all manner of
foods pleasing to the senses of taste and
smell and sight without recourse to the or
dinary processes of nature.
Oysters in Itare Sauces.
Genuine bivalves wcro employed lu the
oyster cocktail which followed, but the
sauce was one which was a challenge to
all the wearers of the cordon bleu in Chris
tendom. The lava of this mollusk filled
crater was composed of. a dash of cltrlo
acid, which Imparted tho lemon flavor; oil
of capers, which Is the chemical equivalent
of horse radish; a llttlo capslclne, a chem
ical product obtained from red pepper; a
Utile diluted acetic acid, sufficient grated
turnip to give body, and the whole colored
with red aniline.. The oysters submerged
In this underwent a change which gave
them ' Imagination and an oversoul. The
soup was made from ordinary green' tur
tle stock, flavored with a test tube sherry
from a Spanish Hoboken. The biscuits had
no flour, nor . needed any, and the butter
was not butter, but a so-called butterinc,
which ' had never seen a cow and never
hoped to see one.
The synthetic sauce for the Mexican pea
salad was composed of diluted acetic acid,
oil, mustard, salt, laboratory-laid eggs,
capslclne and just enough chlorophyll u
give a pleasing tinge of Inviting green. The
synthetical raspberry sherbet was a froxea
solution of saccharin, ethers blended Into
an artificial raspberry juice and distilled
water. The vanilla ice cream consisted of
an emulsion of cottonseed oil triply refined
and flavored with chemically made va
nilla, artificial almond extract and sac
charin. .
"I gave the dinner," said the professor
in a New York Tribune Interview, speaking
of the affair,. "Ju.tt to show what chemistry
can do. I do not wish to be understood as
favoring the indiscriminate manufacture
and sale of food substitutes, for I believe,
as docs Prof. Wylie of the Department of
Agriculture, that, while there are certain
of theso substitutes that are perfectly
harmless, they should not, as they are now,
be sold for the real article, but should be
plainly marked in such a manner as to
show that they lire substitutes.
"I could have added more than I did to
the menu. For Instance, I could have given
my guests . a . soup composed entirely of
chemicals while they waited, but, as It was,
I think .the menu, was sufficient to con
vince one of the wonders that con bo
chemically evolved In this line."
The dinner was not a lurge one, for Frof.
Stillman limited his guests to two clos
friends, Henry W. Ooodrlch of Manhattan
and James K. Howell of Newark. Had he
desired he could hava filled the hotel's
main dining room with guests, for when It
was announced that ho was to give such a
dinner he was beset with requests from
far and near for permission to attend.
"You would be surprised," said the pro
fessor, "If I should tell you some of the
pames of those who wrote me for permls
olon to attend the dinner."
Our Stomachs Urn Stores.
"Practically everything we eat can be
duplicated with a substitute of some sort,"
said the professor after he had convinced
his guests of the possibilities of chemistry
in this direction, "and many of these sub
stitutes are for the most part not injurious,
but that Is not the point. The markot Is
today flooded with these substitutes, and
even though they , may be not Injurious,
tbey should be properly marked as substi
tutes, so that people may know what they
are buying. I cannot begin to name the
substitutes for original foods now on the
market. Why. they h.we even produced an
artificial egg. True, it is not in the shell,
but it nevertheless takes the place of the
egg. It comes In powder form and is com
posed of protein, startch, salt, some of the
fat and powdered milk. Then there is our
olive oil, so called. Why, every year we
ship tons and tons of cottonseed oil to
Italy, only to have It come back to us
later as olive oil. It does seem as if we
might at least save the cost of shipping.
Then there la oleomargarine, the substl.
tuto for butter, which is now fairly well
known to the public. It Is, perhaps. Just
as good as butter Itself, yet it should never
be sold for the real article.
"Take vinegar; the most of it in common
use today Is artificial, and yet people buy
and use it for tha real thing, and never
know the difference. This vinegar is mads
of acetic acid mixed with water and , a
little coloring matter. It is never marked
as a substitute for vinegar, but is sold for
the real article. It Is the same with the
Jams and Jellies on the market. I am not
exaggerating when I say that fully 90 per
cent of the commercial brands are artific
ial. The reason for it is this: There is a
constant demand for cheap sweets, and
these Jellies and Jams can be manufactured
and sold at 10 cents the half-pound Jar.
The genuine, made with sugar, cost twice
that. These cheap jeily substitutes are
made of . apple Juice, a little commercial
glucose and an antiseptic. One particular
stock of this Jelly can be made Into either
damson, strawberry, raspberry, currant or
other flavors at will.
"A tow grade of jelly is made from tha
residue of the apples after the Juice has
been pressed out of them for cider. Start
ing with this cheap Jelly stock, any flavor
can be furnished by the use of chemicals.
If the manufacturers wish to still further
reduoe tha cost of manufacture, the apple
stock Is diluted with a little starch paste.
Tha addition of a trace of citric acid causes
tha whole to hold together or Jelly. These
cheap Jellies are mostly harmless, but they
should be sold for what they are, not
what they are not, and the date of manu
facture should be plainly marked on each
can or glaaa. Of course, theae jelllea and
Jama do not deteriorate as rapidly as do
the . canned goods. All canned goods de
teriorate within a year from tha date of
canning, and abould not be used after that
length of time. ' Thla la especially true of
tomatoes, tha natural acid from which
acts upon the metal of tha tin in which
they are packed, producing a poison.
"A cheap grade of currant Jelly is mads
from apple body or crushed apple, glucose,
saccharine, a little aniline color, and some
synthetically made ether, to give It the
flavor desired. The different ethers are
used to give the flavors to these cheap
jellies, such as pines pple, quince, btinana,
etc.
"The cheap essences on the market are all
artificially made. Take, for Inatance, pine
apple essence, dissolve In alcohol a little
butyric ether, which possesses a distinct
pineapple flavor, add a little sulphuric acid
and then shake the whole together, and
you have a complete Imitation of pineapple
essence. Amyl acetate and butyric ether
make an excellent substitute for banana
essence. I venture to say that fully nine
tenths of the essences now on the market
are artificially made. '
Harmless, but Fraudulent.
"As I have said, most of these substi
tutes are In themselves harmless, but, re
member, I do not want to be understood
as favoring them to the exclusion Of the
real article. I ngree with Prot. Wylie that
they should be markod as substitutes.
Then people can exercise their Judgment
In the matter."
While he Is emphatic In his belief that
the chemical possibilities in the artificial
construction of foods has by no means
been reached, Prof. Stillman says that no
prediction along that line can be safely
made nt the present time. There Is, how
ever, he says, little doubt that all such
artificial foods can be made and sold at a
cost much below that for which the natural
food products can be marketed.
Prof. Stillman Is a member of the Chem
ical society of Paris and is widely known
In this country as an authority in chemical
matters. He hss been experimenting for
some time in his laboratories In the Ste
vens institute In the production of artificial
foods and liquods. His efforts in this di
rection have long been the wonder and ad
miration of his force - of assistants and
laboratory helpers, several of whom have
offered themselves as martyrs on the altar
of science in the preliminary tcstg of some
of the professor's products.
NATURE WARNSHER CHILDREN
Signals of All KJnds for Men Who
Know and Will I se
Their Ryes.
For those who have eyes to see them
kindly nature hangs out signals of all
kinds. She Only asks that men will use
their eyes. If they esn, and do so, she will
never betray them. She has both good and
bad signs, which are as plain In their way
as red or green lights to a railway engine
driver. For instance, what Is called the low coun
try of the Northern Transvaal in partly
healthy, partly feverish. In one spot you
may camp In safety for a month, in another
not a mile away the dreaded fever will
seise you In a single night.
Yet to uneducated there seems little or
tio difference In the outward aspect of the
two places. But your old prospector is
never caught camping on fever ground.
He knows the fever tree too well. The
fever tree Is an odd and sinister-looking
piece of vegetation, with twisted greenish
trunk and branches, and grows only In
those spots where fever mist hangs at
nightfall.
So, too. In Florida, when a hunter Ja
traversing the Immense swamps "ham
mocks," ss they are called Which cover
huge tracts In tho southern part of that
state, he searches for a spot where pine
trees rear their tall heads among the cy
presses and gums. There he can camp and
sleep in safety, though' to spend a night
but a few- hundred yards sway, from .the
pines might mean a bone-racking dose of
ague.
Many an Australian . explorer has been
saved from a horrible death by thirst be
cause he has known the water mallei. This
tree, though it may stand in the midst of
a burning desert, invariably tells of. water
below the surface. If the traveler be not
too far gone to dig, lie will flnd .the pre
cious fluid below the malice's roots.
The old shepherd crossing Dartmoor or
one of the Scottish moors travels with dry
feet, while the stranger Is perfectly, certain
to tumble knee, perhaps waist, deep into a
horrible black compound of mud and water.
The shepherd avoids the bogs because he
has learned to read nature's danger signal.
He does not walk on places where the
sphagnum covers the surface, and so avoids
the pitfalls hidden beneath its pale green
fronds.
Most of us know something of weather
signs, tjiose warnings which are hung out
for all to read In the sky, and yet how
many never notice them at' all, so that
when there comes a really great convulsion
of nature they are caught unprepared.
That awful cyclone which overwhelmed
the great seaport of Galveston three years
ago, drowning thousands of people, was
heralded by an Immense ground swei, which
was seen forty-eight hours before the tem
pest broke.
The Mississippi storm of I'M, which Is
generally supposed to have been the worst
gale that has ever been recorded, and the
result of which was to wipe out nearly
twenty settlements, flooded 10.000 square
miles of land and permanetly changed the
course of the great river, was preceded by
a strange and at the time inexplicable
moaning sound, which went on for three
days and seemed to come from the upper
air, although below all was still. The In
dians heard It and left for the high
ground; the whites heard it, stayed where
they were and were drowned.
As strange a danger signal may be
found on the surface of this planet Is the
so-called "Quesbrada Encantada," the en
chanted ravine of the l"loa valley, in Hon
duras, of which an account, written by
George Byron Gordon, who visited the place
is to be found in the memoirs of the Pea
body museum.
When rain is approaching there comes
from this ravine a melodious whistling
sound, which varies In intensity accord
ing as to whether the coming storm will
be heavy or light. Before one of the
terrific tropical thunderstorms which at
times devastate that part of the world the
sound is a deep organ note, which Is heard
many miles away In every direction.
Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions,
most terrible of all nature's visitations, do
not come without due warning. Sir Nor
man Lock ye r has stated that the most
disastrous volcanic eruptions and earth
quakes occur, like the rain pulses of In
dia, at the dates of the sun spot maxima
and minima. At the minimum In 17
Mauna, Loa. Vesuvius. South America and
Formosa were involved. At the maximum
In 1872 Martlnque and St. Vincent; in 1883
came the frightful explosion of Krakatoa,
and. to give a recent Instance, the Mar
tlnque eruption came at a maximum of
Solar disturbance.
Also Just before an earthquake there are
other and plainer warning signs. Just be
fore the catastrophe at St. Pierre came
news that the Martlnque cable was broken.
This sort of thing has happened more than
once before similar visitations.
On the west coast of South' America,
where earth tremors ara conatant, severe
shocks sre uaually heralded by disturb
ances of tha sea. Such heavy quakes also
almost invariably happen at high tide. In
Hawaii, another volcanic center, certain
springs stop flowing before an outburst. lu
the crater of Mauna Loa the lava always
rises steadily ' for some weeks before an
eruption.
Indeed, It may truly be said that to thoaa
who have eyes to see, nature invariably
gives due warning before a coming cat
astrophe of any kind whatsoever. Pear

BACHELORS, IT'S UP TO YOU
Bunch of the Blah Itneaomes Irged

Xebrnaka Manhood.
If the bachelors of Stuart, Neb., do not
march in a body to Miss Hudspeth's news
paper office, kneel before her sanctum door,
beg her forgiveness and ask her to take her
choice, then we have been greatly misled as
to the character of Nebraska manhood.
Miss Hudspeth is the one woman in Ne
braska who owns, edits, sets up and prints
a newspaper. Ghe entertains and expresses
certain views with regard to certain bache
lors of Stuart and their habits which are
not acceptable . to the unmarried males.
Hence they have been striving, it is said,
to makeher newspuper unprofitable so that
ahe.may.be forced to marry and settle
down In private life.
But so far they have not accomplished
their purpose. Says Miss Hudspeth edi
torially in the current Issue of her news
paper: "Stuart business interests are dominated
to. a large extent by bachelors. The bank
ers are all unmated. The real estate man
and money loaner is a single man. The city
attorney is a bachelor. The telephone man
Is a. dundy. The big merchant has not been
haltered." . .
Continues Miss Hudspeth:
"At every turn In search of news or busi
ness an unmated half confronts the editor.
At. long range one would suppose that a
woman so situated would have a picnic, a
gala day, a Fourth of July celebration,
every day In the week." , ,
. Adds Miss Hudspeth :
"Nay, the editor does not stand In with
these gallant knights of the cup, who pre
fer drinks to sweet children and domestic
joys. They have all banded together to
make her either starve or get married. It
looks uugallant. to the world, but they
mean it In the greatest kindness. When
the pesky writer of foibles Is out of the
way there will be no fly In society's oint
ment at Stuart. A woman has no place in
business. She keeps' things flying galley
west and crooked. Crowd her to the wail.
Don't give her a chance. Bravo!"
Concludes Miss Hudspeth:
"It makes all the difference which side of
the bar a man Is pn. If ' stands behind It
and fills the glasses, he is all wrong. If he
stands In front and Alls his stomach, he is
all right."
Who will deny, or attempt to deny, that
she hss not more than evened accounts
with her enemies, the Stuart bachelors?
Nobody who looks on Impartially from a

Mr. George Van Patten. ISoO Uttle Benton Street. Council Bluffs. Iowa, says:
'When I was 7 years old I had an attack of Scarlet Fever, which affected m y hearing, and ever since then, until
now, my ears have been discharging. My hearing gradually became worse until at times people would have to fairly
Shout to make me understand what they sold. In fact, whenever I had a cold. I was almnet totally deaf. People
told me deafness from the fever could not be cured, and I nave up all hope of ever heating clearly again. But read
ing of the wonderful cures that Dr. Branaman has been effecting by his new electrical treatment, I decided to try once
more to obtain relief, and I am very glad I did, for the effect waa even more than I expected. Tho rlnKing nulaaa lit
my head which had been so severe, that I could hardly sleep, and the discharge from the ears have entirely stopped,
and I can now hear a watch tick at arm's length, and can plainly understand an ordinary conversation anywhere with
in the room. In fact, my hoarlng la now better than at any time within ftctcen yeara and Ufa Is worth living again.
I , can alncerely recommend Dr. Brana man's treatment to anyone.

The most stubborn and complicated case will not exceed $5 for one whole month. This new nirthod of treatment has
cured hundreds of cases of Asthma, Catarrh, Dcafnens and Head Noises that have been pronoimcrd incurable by other

British East Indies oOB.342.000. The next
largest Importing country Is Australia,,
which last year took 125.000,000 cigarettes.
The manufacture of cigarettes is limited
to four cities New Tork, Richmond, New
Orleans and San Francisco. New York,
first among the cigar making cities, manu
factures nearly two-thirds of the cigarettes,
or about 2,000,000,000. .
. There are 223 cigarette factories in New
Tork City and a total of tt for the whole
country. In recent years the number of
i small factories has been growing, rapidly

by hand the .variety of cigarettes called
Turkish.

year amounted to 3,000,000 only an in

Limit of Klectrtcal Transmission.
Freauent references have been made of
late to the possibility of developing the
Victoria falls on the Zambesi river and ap
plying the power thus obtained In the
mines of the Rand, says the Electrical Re
vjew. The power at present used in theso
mines Is approximately 100,000 horse power,
while that which can be obtained at the
falls is several times this amount. More
over, the typography of (the falls resem
bles somewhat that of Niagara falls. The
river plunges over a steep cliff, where tha
crest is broken by a number of islands,
falls Into a deep gorge running nearly
parallel with the face of the fall, and is
then carried off as a swift torrent running
between high cliffs. A suitable site for a
power house can be found or made near
the foot of the fall or located above the
fall. Either of the two plans now em
ployed at Niagara falls could be adopted
without doubt of success.
The whole stumbling block, however. In
this development lies In the fact that there
Is no probability for a long time, at least
of establishing large consumers of power
near the falls; but more unfortunate even
than this is tho distance of the falls from
the point where It is proposed to trans

mit power. It will be remembered that,
although the original Intention at Niagara
falls wss to transmit the power over fairly
long distances to industrial centers, tho
bulk of this power 'Is at the present tlmo
being utilised at the falls. That which i
transmitted to a distance Is comparatively
small, but, as the new plants go into
opesatlon it will, of course, increase con
siderably. At Victoria falls, on tha other
hand, practically all of . the power would
have to be transmitted some TOO miles a
distance of transmission far greater than
any at present In existence. ,
In a paper read before the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers some time
since, Ralph D. Mershon took up tha ques
tion of tho possible limit of long distance
transmission, and his general conclusion
was that It would be feasible to transmit
200.000 or 300,000 kilowatts, about 600 miles.
This was held to be the limiting distance
for the present outlook, and with a less
power delivery, the plan will hardly be
feasible. Tet the plan discussed for Vic
toria falls contemplates transmitting
power some 700 miles to a point where the
total amount In use today is only 100,000
horse power. Either higher voltages than
those suggested by Mr. Mershon, ard they
were far beyond present practice, or soma
plan of transmission other than the three
phase must be adopted.
