Latest Installment from Paris In tender sympathy; It may deride; It . may cheer; It may tear Its hair or weep, but down In the bottom of Its old heart It loves all who Are lovers, and will cease evtery occupation to gaze, after a pair of them with a glance that, no matter what lis outspoken evidence, has Its origin In wlettulnesa. Recent photographs of n pair of lovers caused more than tender amusement; they caused astonishment and expressions of incredulity. They also caused a sigh of content, for the picture shows a I promise of a day when love will rank higher than any earthly monarch, and no j one will dispute. The lovers were of royal birth! For once the little god Cupid had scored with-' . .1 Hii..,iahr .. . I state. The pictures were of the Prjncess Vic toria Louise of Prussia and Prince Ernest Augustus of Brunswlck-Luncburg. The) princess Is the only daughter of the Qer-1 man.' emperor and the prince Is the only1 surviving son of the duke of Cumberland. Their betrothal was formally announied I at Carlsruhe the other day, and they nro said to be the happiest pair of lovers In all Europe. And the photograph shows It. He has his arm through hers; their hands 'are clasped, and ho Is looking do.wn Into her upturned face with an ex pression of a prince -when gazing at his betrothed. As for the princess! Walk out Into the country and somewhere along borne country lane you will see a farmer's daughter gazing Into the sun tanned face of a son of toll with the same look; a look that sees heaven beyond. In tile crowded streets of the city, In the more humble walks of life where love ha a way of telling Its story In tones thatx art slncerest, the expression In the eyes of the princess Is duplicated In the eyes of all girls who love. The little sales girl has the same divine llgl)t In her eyes. It Is a proof that love comes to all In the same guise, no matter what the station of those who open their hearts to recelvo it. But the prince holds the hand of his betrothed, and they are walking on a public street. They are holding hands in public, a privilege hitherto dented all who recognize all laws of etlquet. Now th$ question arises since this pic ture has appeared in print, does the little iover'8 habit of the prince and princess make it proper for a man to, hold his girl's hand' in public and take her by the hiw 'when they stroll on the street? The ctlquet books say no. Tho prince and princess cay yes. It is a special privilege to be granted (inly to royalty, or la It to. be. a new fashion, royalty claiming the right to set the style In love-making as It would de cree, how long a train a- woman shall wear to her gown? What" do say say? The books of etlauet say' "No," and they are a better standard for lovers In this country than any precedent estab lished by a royal family. Oo on loving! The happiness, the prog ress of the world world depend on It, but ion't "make love" In public. Verr Particular. A cnnnlng little girl happened to sit beside a nice looking little boy In a street car Hasten morning. After a tlmft the boy started a conversation which ran something like this: "Did the bunny hide lots of eggs at your house?" "Somebody hid 'em. all right." ."Did you find 'em all?" "I found a lot." "Do you like hen eggsT" The little girl was silent a moment then she answered; "Oh, my. yes: that's the only kind 1 do Hke'-rYoungstown Telegraph. A flower-trimmed lint.

The Easter parade has settled the bonnet question, at leaat for the time bolng, and milliners are now getting their midsummer Installment of hats from Parte.' Tho hat of the moment is small; the hat of tho future will be largo at least, that Is the. prediction and milliners, us well as hairdressers, re joice greatly, for there Is more chance for both trades. Larger hats moan more feathers 'and trimmings of all kinds, while they will demand more hair under them and around them another good thing for tho long-suffering hair t merchant. Just now there are some beautiful fantasies in hats for evening wear. Small poke bonnets made of ttillo and straw, and trimmed with tiny gar lands of flowers. Then there Is the feather confection, against which tho Audubon Society Is working. These are made all of leathers, and a mere brim of fancy straw half nn Inch wide serves tho purpose of showing that it is a hat, and not a rare stuffed bird wonderfully mounted. The hat of today Is not becoming to all faces, for it Is rather severe. The tailor-made girl, however, has everything all her own wny, for she Is well suited with the smart little toques of fine straw, which she cun make herself with a package of straw and a ten-cent shape, and trim with a stiff bow of ribbon carefully wired to give It the standout effect. Tho colors for spring have been exceptionally vivid, but they will grow tiresome before the hot days begin, and wide hats of dull grays and burnt straw color will take their place. One of the new shapes is shown in the illustration, with its wreath of flowers in dull shades of purple. Tho crown of this hat to made of silk and offers a valuablo suggestion for tho girl who Iiqb a hat of last year's tin-, might bo freshened up for this summer. Tho bow of ribbon at tho buck with the long, flowing ends is esBon tlally this Bummer's fashion. But let mo bog the woman who has reached yours of discretion 1 every, woman knows when thut Is, though sho genorally cun fool her hus hand about it well, lot me bog her not to go through tho city with one oi thoso '.'follow mo" bows in tho back of her hat. They are for tho school girl and the slim nnd youthful dobutanto.

In bare outline. The fewest I this. In school the child Is taugbt to spell and pronounce a great number of words, which It Is never required to use. The consequence Is that these words ap pear to the learner to be a language apart from everyday life, a language belonging only to books. The school child should be drilled In the dally employment of every word that the spelling book contains. It Is not enough that he Is taught to use tho words In written compositions. Such compositions always have an artificial character for him. He feels that there Is something stilted and protentlous about them, and they do not take hold of his real mind. The utilisation of the words acquired should be by speaking them, In the most natural way possible. The teacher should" make n point of employing, In an off hand way, In conversation with the class the words which they have been study ing. The ohlldren should be led. Insen sibly, to use new words In their play, and during their out-of-school hours. Here, of course, parents can afd Immen sely. But first they must, themselves master a wide range of verbal expres sions. Mere reading will not "give this ready mastery. A word must be acquired by the organs of speech as well as by the mind. Unless the lips and the tongue are accustomed to pronounce It, It will not come promptly when wanted, Words are tools, and they cannot be effectively employed unless the bodily organs that have to handle them are trained to their use. One 'of . the best rules that I have ever heard for the ac quirement of facility of speech Is to make use, by oral expression, of every word you learn, at the very first op. portunlty, and to continue to use t until it springs of Itself upon your lips hen the thought that It expressese comes into your mind. Dr. Parkhurst on Our Treatment of Convicts Everything Should Be Done to Improve Their Condi tion Wives and Children Should Get a Portion of the Profit on Their Labor By DR. O. II. PARKHURST Until the object had In view In sending men to prison Is more clearly conceived than seems to be the case at present, the results of their confinement are likely to prove more detrimental to public In terest than beneficial to It. One object to their enforced restraint appears to be to get them out of the way. As It Is unreasonable and Inexpedient to kill them all, the next best thing seems to be shutting them up. Another motive Is that of retaliation, give them back as good as they gave, damage them as much as they have damaged the public; so many pounds of crime, so many pounds of penalty what might bo called the bookkeeping method, Very few are deliberately slaughtered and the number of stjch has been gradu ally reduced as civilization progresses, which gives ground for expecting that the reduction will continue till govern mental assassination entirely censes. The great majority are set at liberty after a longer or shorter term of con finement, and It Is the Interests of that majority and the Interests of the public In the relations to It of that majority that require to be especially consulted In shaping the policy of prison discipline. This majority Is going to return to the world and resume life there and take up ones more the burden of life's actlvl. ties. At least that Is what It ought to be expected that It will do, and tho public Interest has been conserved un less the ex-convict on emerging from prlton Is In at leabt as gx.: t framo of mind, as fine a condition f body and as well qualified Industrially to play his part In the world as when he entered prison. Fundamental to all (his there should be fostered in him while in Jalf a sense of remaining manhood. Whatever may, bn therlmlnallty there are few, If any,' of whom it can be Justly said that they are utterly gone to the bad, and that residue of humanness should be patiently taken care of and nourished. Any featuro of human discipline, there fore, that treats the convict as belonging to a sub-human class Is so much done toward blotting out his humanness and at the same time toward disqualifying him for playing the manly part when he Is set free and resumes ordinary human relations. Such a custom as that of knowing rilsoners by their number rather than by their name Is false to the finest In Kinds of any person who has In him even the remnants of a soul. Kven a dog or a horse thnt Is respected by Its master Is not numbered nor labeled, but has a name given to It. And prison keepers, debased to such a degree as to be unablo to recognlxe and appreciate manhood even when present In only an Im perfect degree, aro thereby rendered In competent to exerclsu penal uuthorlty. All such process of suppression and humiliation consumes the element of marrow so essential to everything that is manly- or that even remotely approxi mates to manliness, and thereby ImpalM his value to the public. Kvery prisoner should have respectable work given him and plenty of It. The products of his labor should he sold In the open market at current rates, and a due proportion of the proceeds of tale should be treated as belonging to him by right of having earned It, and by the court held In trust for the use of his fsmlly, or, If he has no ono naturally dependent upon him, madn ovor to him on his dismissal from Jail If Judcea expedient by the prison com mission or other competent authority; This will hrevcr the effect of dlgnlfylr lils labor Instead of 'degrading; both It and him. for otherwise It carries with, It the debasement that always attachetsj to slave, .work, and Jt will moreover, as ay' kind of by-product meat the complaint of tho laboring classes outside, that they have to com pets with tho cheapened product of convict labor.
