In short. it looks as if Her Highness's relatives placed her in Liiidenhof with the fixed 'intention of wrecking her intellect." "Then you don't think ually insane?" I asked. "She is its sound-minded and bright as ever," replied my colleague of fires- den.

My Dresden friend added that Queen lCei‘oline takes a deep interest in the affairs of the unfortunate Louise. but. that will not make any difference in her face.

Besides. criticism is bound to stop at sight of the straightâ€"jacket If this Princess who threw convention- alii‘l-es to the winds is a lunatic, what's the use of inquiring into the causes that. led her astray? “'hy speculate on prenatal influences, on the effect of the debasing association with this man whom she had professed to love, honor and obey. C-curily gossip line it that homes will never again draw a free breathâ€" noi during the life of Prince Philip and King Leopold, at least. she herself is past 42, and Princes are notoriously long-lived. Doctors be- ing sure of ample reward, succeed marâ€" velously well in prolonging their life by keeping diseases at a distance and by relrencliiing their vitality by means that only the mighty can afford.

Elizabeth. who is tall and angular, wore a simple mull dress without ornamentation of any kind, and the grandfather was cruel enough to remark that she might do for a mill- liner's daughter, but not for an Arch- duchiess. Louise's friends were likewise dis- 'atppoinied when they appealed to the King of Saxony, who, as Phiilip's liege lord, could, if he chose, command him to release his wife and seek redress in divorce. No one may gadnsay lKing Albert isn't just. even humiane, ,‘but this fact remainsâ€"tin matters of lihiat kind all men stick together. Only a day after my friend returned from Lind-enhtof and reported to their Ma- !jee‘lies on Louise‘s sad pliigtht and her unimpaired mental condition, Prince ,Philip was received at court with ex- inaordinary eclzit, guard of honor, . l | “It’s a wonder we didn't turn tig- ers." exclaimed Comte d' Artois, bro- ther “reasons of state" implanted in young :royal minds. But don't we? Here we have a nayal woman in her best years, beautiful, amiable and accom- plished, who was certainly more sin- lncd against than sinning. There isn‘t a King in Europe but knows her intimately; not one who hasn't dahc-. ed and hunted with her; not one who hasn't at one time or another. admired her wit. her pretty face, and. indeed, tpitied her for being married to that blackguard Phiilip. Yet when that some knows, backed up by his father- inâ€"l:ilw, condemned her without trial, all these. royal gentlemen, with one acâ€" cord, lncave her to her sad fate. though :a word of protest from the most tin- .sigiiificant of them would suffice to ‘secure her justice. As James I. sat complacenily in Ed- <inburglr while his mother.

So it went on, kicks ‘md cuffs from daughter fro-m Leopold. until finally Louise threatened to go before the Belgian (‘hnmbers unless a family council was called to sit on her case. 1The family council assembled at Lnek- en under the Presidency of the King, all (‘oburg Princes and Princesses attending. But they were evidently dominated, by Leopold, and after long deliberations decided against a divorce. Louise was told to return to her wife- beuler husband without delay. l From, that fatal day the life of Princess Philip of (‘oburg changed. The sad and pious woman .nf 'yore be- came the gayest of the gay, appear- ing on all public occasions in the ‘mosl risque toilets and seeking the ‘compuny of her husband's roue friends, whom she had once abhorred.

He wanted no grounds ‘for divorce, for in that case he would I have to give up the Princess's dowry, .besides a considerable annuity, and. lthough Philip is immensely wealthy, lhe takes good care that no one but ‘himself enjoys his money.

"I need only remind you, of the Durh- esse of Ahlden, who wus Sophie (‘hnr- lotte of Hanover, wife of George I., of England, mother of George lI., and grandmother of Frederick the Great. "To revenge herself upon it flig‘ite husband, she took a lover, as Louise did afterward. That lover. Count.

We, Stiephnny and myself. both ltried every possible way tc'get Philip lto consent to a divorce. and when all lh~ope of realizing my sincerest wish l failed I lost my head, andJn a moment ‘ of weakness threw myself in K.'s arms. "The rest you know. Yes, I, a King's daughter, the descendant of a family that reigned over man for a thousand years and more; I, a devout Catholic and mother, became the mis- tress of that poor army officer. Yet I swear by all that is holy, I never lov- ed that man, if, after my first false step, Phillip h'ad consented to dissolve our un-Christian marriage, I would‘ have willingly blotted out from my lrife K.‘s very memory. But that ter- l rible obstinacy, bred by avarice. which linduced His Highness to cling to an .unloved woman for 22 years prevail- ed, and I sank lower and lower in con- ‘sequence. To silence the voice of my conscience I plunged into a whirlwind of excesses; pcnniless as I Was Ibe- came a spenvd‘thrift, and to play the spendthrift successfully I became a. lcheet. If in all this sad (business one circumstance speaks louder than the other it's the fact that Philip took \110 notice of the affair with 'K. until my creditors began to bother htim. Then all of a sudden his sense of honor was aroused, he placed me inlo'an asylum for debt. ‘They have no right to disâ€" pose. of their fortune. or their body, they cannot ask for divorce."' The Princess's lellci‘ winds up as fol- lows: " Ah, I wish K. could have made good his promise to kill mm the mom! hi I was in danger of falling into my bus- band's clutches again. But they am- bushed him and I was carnied to the l demned to die." t The financial questions which so . largely enter into the unhappy Louise‘s life are ridiculously insignificant when considered from the standpoint of the modern multiâ€"millionaire. In case of divorce Prince Philip would be obliged to pay back to his wife her dot of $200,000; her appanag‘e of $6,000 per year, which the King of Belgium grants his daughter, would also revert to her. As to the Princess's debts. of which so much. fuss h‘lS been made. (11W amount to less than $350,000.

The full strength of Great Britain's ,Indiun army is 300,000 men, of whom 230,000 are native and 70,000 British soldiers. In addition to this military force, there are about 20,000 enrolled ,European volunteers, and a native ipolice, officered by white men, nearly 1 200,000 strong.

The story is told of a sleight of hand performer who kept a parrot that he had trained to lay. whenever one of his master's tricks had been fin- ished: “That's a good trick! What’s the next one?" One day the juggler. being in a see- port town, gave his performance in a left on one of the wherfe, which hap- pened to be just over the place Where I large quantity of powder was stored in kegs. The juggler was about to perform some feat which required the lighting of a candle. He lighted it and threw the match away without making sure that the blaze had gone out. The match, still burning. fell through a crack in the floor, and dropped into one of the kegs of powder. which exploded with great force. throwing the building into the air. The parrot. who was blown up with the rest, did not stop until it reached the pinnacle of the topmast of a great chip which lay off the wharf. There 11 ' clung desperately. and looking down to the world below he called out in I shrill voice: ' "That's a good trlckl next one?" What's the Clearly Proved. Mrs. Bolivar heaved a deep sigh. “Before we were married.

"You swore that you would give me whatever I wanted and thatI might go to the seashore every summer and stay as long as I liked. " "Is it possible 1' “Yes. And you said that you would never take another drink and never flirt the least little bit. and now you do all these things and have not kept a single promise.

A correspondent of Popular Science News tells of a party of Alpine climb- ers who. having spent five hours among the snows of the mountains. returned to their homes after dark. A great change had to all appearance taken place since the night before. Instead of being illuminated in the usual way, the place was supplied with green lights. It took the travelers a little time to realize that they were suffering from Daltonism. or color blindness, superin- duced by eye fatigue. The intense light caused by the sun shining upon the show had for the time tendered them unable to judge of colors and given rise to their curious mistake. Three hourl elapsed before the eyes regained their ‘ normal condition. Chevreul explains that the eye can« , not gaze long upon a given color with- ‘ out tending to become insenible to it. When the eye looks long upon a color. it should be rested by the complemen- tary color. Thus an eye that has grown tired with green should be rested by red, which is green's complementary color Fresh Laid.
