QUEEN LOUISE DEMENTECX

vu uo in iter Dotuge. 1
It is reported on what m t k
excellent authority that Queen Louise, i
oi wenmarn, nas lost her mind, and i
Bhe has suddenly collnspd
plete stage of dotage, which the phy-
eiciiuis uescnoe as incurable. This ac
counts for the fact that on the very day
that telegrams were sent by the wld-
uweu empress or Uussla from Copen
hagen, summoning the Princess of
a.es from England, King George of
ireece from Alx-les-Balns. In Frnnno
and the Duke and Duchess of Cumber
land from Austria, on the trrmin.l nt
their mother's illness, the aged queen
was aDie to go out driving twice with
the dowager czarlua.
The Illness Is mental rather thnn
physical, and It la a source of great
grier to Queen Louise's family and
entourage, for she has been known un-
til now as one of the most clever wo
men In tho Old world. She hna Wn
nicknamed the "mother-in-law of Eu

besides acting as the chief adviser of
her favorite son, who reigns as King
George of Greece. She has always
been averse to constitutionalism, nmi
by many she ls blamed for the refusal
of her Muscovite son-in-law to do any-
tnln toward providing his emplrp with
a more liberal form of government than
that by means of which he rules.

the same since her serious Illness a
year ago. The loss of her mental fac
ulties, however, ls reported to have
been very sudden and correspondingly
sad. It was Urst observed by the wid
owed czarina on her arrival at Copen
hagen, and she lost no time In sum
moning her brothers and sister, who
each hastened to Copenhagen a fort
night ahead of the time originally set
for the meeting. The Princess of
Wales, It may be added, was so much
alarmed by the telegram of her sister,
the empress, that she Insisted upon
taking her family physician, Sir
Francis Laklng, with her, In the hope
that his advice might be of some use.
Economy.
In one of our New England villages
there lived until recently two aged sis
ters, one 85 years old and the other
74. Neither had ever married and
they were almost more pronouncedly
of the Mary E. Wllkins type than those
famous creations themselves. The el
der sister sucminbed to the srippe last
winter, and liie younger one. dazzod
by her bereavement, was glad to accept
the kindly sen-ice of her neighbors in
making necessary arrangements. The
day before the funeral something was
said to her about putting on black, and
for the first time she roused herself to
retort thus against modern extrava
gance: "Black! of course I shall wear
mourning for Caroline some time; but
there's lots of good clothes of mine and
hers that I'm going to wear out first"

A Thoughtful Little Girl.
All Boston children are thoughtful.
It was a dear, thoughtful little Boston
girl who, when told by her mother of
the death of a grandmother she great
ly loved, sat silent a while, and then,
looking up, said: "Mamma, what time
did grandma die?"
"At 4 o'clock in the afternoon," was
the answer. "
Again the little girl lapsed into
mournful silence, until, as though a
ray of sunshine had broken through
the gloomy cloud, she devoutly ex
claimed: "Then I'm so thankful she
