itlliiincu between
tount Herbert His
lnnrck and Lndv
Kdith AVaid, the
beautiful and ac
complished dauph
ter of l.udy Dud
ley, and heiress to
an immense for
tune, recalls n fam
ous love affair m
which he once fig
ure 1. The cable
states furthermore,
that Herbert I5is
marry durinir the
marck
lifetime of his father. This state
ment furnishes a link between
the past and the present which lends
additional interest to the roirantic
story, which had its beginning' more
than a decade ago.
Prince Hismarck's power was then at
its bight. Herbert had not yet ob
tained any political prominence. His
father had him in training for a career,
it is true. He had been attached to
the German embassies of various cities,
and was at that time secretary of le
gation at Uerlin. He was an unusually
handsome young man of 30, very popu
lar in society.
Among the many who were attracted
by the good looks and manly bearing
of the Chancellor's son was a ladv
whose beauty and fascination, as well
as whose rank, gave her a position of
great prominence at the court. She
was the Princess t'arolath, born Coun
tess Hatzfeldt of Trachenburg, Silesia.
Hi, v
7
HcrVeTlMBismarcrC
She came of a family of beautifu.
women, almost every one of whom has
. been the heroine of a romance or two.
Sh- was many years her husband's
junior; she was as lovely as a Hatzfeldt
ought to be and as fascinating as any
woman ever was. Her portrait, painted
by Gustave Kichter, "the right," as he
is called, to distinguish him from an
inferior painter of the same name,
shows a tall, lissom woman, witli clear
cut, aristrocratic features, large, calm
blue eyes, perfect a ins and hands, an
imperial head, with inu'-ses of red-gold
ringlets, shoulders like marble and the
bearing of an empres-.
The Princess ( arolath was ( years
older than Herbert ltismarek, she was
infinitely his superior mentally, she
was already a wiie bilt nevertheless
she fell madlv, hopelessly in love with
him.
What might have happened is a mat
ter of conjecture. What did happen
was the serious illness of the Princess,
and a consequent interruption of the
morning concerts at the palace. Kor a
time the I rineess' life was despaired
of, but she was iinnlly pron juneed con
valescent, and was ordered to Nice to
recover her strength. To Nice also
went Herbert on ltismarck.
Itoiii Mce at length came a letter to
the prince, in which his wife confessed
her love for louiit Herbert, who had
offered to relinquish his career, to give
up. if necessary, his family, his for
tune, his country if she would get a
divorce from her husband and marry
him. A divorce is no' easily obtained
by women in (!ermnny, therefore the
princess prayed her husband to him
self bring about the annulment of
their marriage, (-he had never loved
him and Mie did love young Bismarck.
Elizabeth Uutyfeldt could brave public
opinion, but she could not sacrifice her
honor. Therefore she threw herself
on her husband mercy and prayed for
the freedom which she finally realized.
It was agreed that a decent inter
val should elapse before her marriago

Germany was announced. The Princess
received him, and with a deadly chill
at her heart took rom
his hand u lottv ! as from fUe
chancellor and it informed her that
Count Herbert would not visit Venice
while the Princes Carolath remained
there. It further stated that Bismarck
had reflected on the matter of his son's
marriage and had concluded not to per
mit it. He willed the young man to
remain in t ermany: he had certain po
litical ambitions 'for his son which
would be materially in'erfered with if
lie married a divorced woman. Mndam,
the Princess I arolath, would therefore
consider all connection with Count
Herbert on Bismarck at an end.
What agonies of outraged pride and
wounded love, what bitterness of dis
appointed hopei the beautiful woman
suffered no human be ng can know. She
bore herself witli perfect dignity, never
betraying the leatHgn of the anguish
which must have devoi red her night
and day. Mie lived in her Venetian
palace two years. hat fortitudes!
What sublime scorn of fate! This
romance of the nineteenth century,
ltle Uudyard Kipling's "Light that
Failed," has two endings, of which
the reader may take his choice.
One version is that when the Prin
cess was in Ireland Lord Londonberry,
who was Count Herbert's most inti
mate friend, effected a meeting and a
reconciliation between the lovers;
that the Count visited her frequently
thereafter, still continues to visit her
in Dresden and will undoubtedly marry
her as soon as his father dies.
The fact that the young count re
mains single strengthens the belief
that there is a mutual understanding
between him and the Princess. Some
have asserted that thev are already
married. In the meantime music,
flowers, and her pretty daughter ap
parently engage a'l the attention of
the Princess theiutnre of his country
engage that of the Count.

Five years ago, or thereabouts, there
arrived in Wasli ngton, I). C, a swell
young man whose pleasing presence,
suave manner and fair education soon
frccuredfor him a situation in one of
the big wholesale concerns of that city.
He was handsome of face and had soft
black eyes that could put on a dreamy
stare, when their owner wanted to
play that kind of a part. He dressed
faultlessly and hud three or
four changes for every day in
tho week. He liked the ladies and
they doted on him.
One so equipped, though lacking a
single letter of introduction or an hon
ored namo. may enter, and if he pos
sess the address and the wit he may in
lime be eagerly sought after to purtake
of the sweetest favors of the circle.
There are many such instances m all
great cities. Washington does not
stand uuique in that respect and
awakens at times to the knowledgo
that her select society has admitted
within her sacred precincts a person
morcjtitto adorn a criminal's cage than
a drawing room. Washington has had
her share of such experiences and ho
one has contributed more generously
to it than young 15. Shepard White,
whose talents are above icferred to.
His arrest in Chicago the other day,
on a charge of forgery, caused a flutter
of excitement in Washington society.
So practical had he I ecame in the art
of love making that he managed to get
engaged to three or four belles there,
among them the daughter of a L nited
States Senator. To make every thing
worse for them his family history
proves that lie is part negro.

Shortly after his arrest and return

she was an interested spectator, occu

as near the prisoner as possible. After

THE P01TLAI. DA NANA.
CUTTING THE FRUIT REVEALS THE
OUTLINE OF A CROSS.
Said to ( Ailain'H Apple Tree An Oft
Disputed Oucstlon c'ultUnttmi or Mm
Itanium How It Huh Lately Sprung
Into I'avor.
Girard, tho old English botanist, in refer
ence to tho iMiuuun, says it is Adam's uplo
tree, and that whichever way the fruit may
bo cut tlio form of u cross may be seen in it.
Again, tradition further asserts that in CVj
lon, where, according to some, Paradise was
situated, there exists a tremendous banana
tree, tho fruit of w Inch when cut transverse
ly, presents tho il,;uro of a man crucified;
and local tradition asserts that from its huj
leaves Adam and Eve niado garments for
themselves. But whether Adam ato tho ba
nana in the Garden of Eden or not must Ixs
n matter of complete indifference to those
who live iu the Nineteenth century; yet if
the banana lo tho tree that produced the for
bidden fruit that "tho woman saw was good
for food, pleasant to tho eyes, and a tree to
be desired to make one wis.1," wo cannot bo
surprised sho was tempted to eat it. At any
rate tho description, to our mind, applies
with especial force to tho luscious clusters of
this popular fruit.
Tho antiquity of tho banana is beyond dis
pute. Pliny, anions other ancient scribes,
undoubtedly scales of it under tho nanio of
pala. After writing Uxn the properties of
thu Indian ho bays: "There is another
tree in India, still larger and oven more re
markable for tho size wid sweetness of its
fruit, tiKu which tho sages and gymnoso
phists of India live." True, some authorities
contend that this does not iu reality apply to
tho banana at all, but to another kind of
fruit; Upon tho face of it, however, with
due respect to theso adverse und able opin
ions, wo think wo uro safe in asserting that it
doe). So much for fancy now for fact.
AN OIT DISPUTED QUESTION.
As I have previously stated, to refer to tho
nniMi, or plantain tree, is tantamount, to
opening tho oft disputed question as to
whether it bo a native of southern Asia or of
the Now world. It was generally considered
as being a native of tho former until, as Do
C'uiidollo states, Ilumholdt threw doubts
upon its purely Asiatic origin, fortifying his
contention by an apiieal to numerous writers
who maintained that tho banana was culti
vated in America before tho Conquest. Yet,
oven this point may bo left in abeyance; and
whether 1 incline to tho general belief that
probably tho species was introduced by tho
Spanish into San Domingo and Brazil or not,
ono fact is clear that of lato years its popu
larity for tho tablo has vustly increased, and
if it possesses tho healthful properties attrib
uted to it this is not to bo wondered at. With
regard to their cultivation, wo thai that not
only do they require tropical heat, but that,
on tho other hand, no fruit is more suscepti
ble to frost than tho banana, and oven in tho
trojiies, says old Philip ilillcr, they are care
fully cultivated by tho planters, who raise
them in low. rich ground by tho side of gul
lies, where they produce fruit most parts of
tho year.
1 suppose it is now pretty well known that
most of tho bananas aro raised iu tho West
Indies, tho Island of Jamaica especially
though thoy grow freely in all tropical lands.
Tho tact of their cheapness hero shows that
they must bo easily cultivated; and this is so,
for oven tho wildest tribes in South America
nnd eisowhero succeed well in raising thorn.
In tho culture of this luscit. us fruit it is not
too much to say that Nature seems to do all
tho work herself, tho share necessary for man
being almost nil, since ull tho labor needed
in cultivating tho fruit consists ip setting out
tho suckers that form tho trees, Nature being
then left to do tho rest until tho time to cut
tlio fruit arrives.
This occurs within a year from planting,
tho plant, or rather tho tree, by this tinio
having reached a height of ten feet. Whero
considerable intelligence is brought into re
quisition the suckers aro set out regularly to
mnko plantations, with tho trees ubout fif
teen feet apart, something like our orchards.
In caso irrigation is practicable (for tho
plants do best iu a damp, cloggy soil)
trenches are dug between tho rows for water.
On tho other hand, tho plants are iu most
cases planted about tho above distance, but,
of course, as with our orchards, so witli our
banana plantations. It is now admitted that
thoy both thrive and succeed, and yield liest,
too, if planted further apart than is custom
ary at present. With tlio natives and others
tho planting of tho suckers is dono with a
primitive and ponderou:i hoo.
KASY OF DIGESTION.
Doubtless no fruit is nioro easy of digestion
and so healthful as tho banana, it takes on
an averago only ono hour and forty-flvo min
utes' stay in tho digestive orguns, and is, I
believe, tho only fruit in existence thut re
quires such a short time to do so; oven rqo
pears require nioro, nnd tho proverbial ripo
strawberry takes ono hour longer. Hence, to
tho epicure, tho above fruit, iu my opinion,
offers esjcciul advantages, and when proicr
ly rijio forms a delicacy that has fow equals.
Liko that of tho tomato, tho enjoyment of
tho banana arises, though not to such a great
degree, from a purely acquired taste, besides
which tho condition of tho fruit should bo
studied, since, if uurijio or unsound, it is apt
to bo found ruthcr nuuseous, but when eaten
in good condition it is exceedingly palatable
and rich.
It is astonishing to find how rapidly, es
pecially of lato years, tho banana has sprung
into favor, hundreds of bunches of this pretty
fruit being put on tlio markets day after duy
through the season. Nutritious and healthful
no wonder need Ikj expressed ut their increas
ing popularity and consumption, and iu veri
fication of tho hitter jKjhit wo simply refer
to tho tradoiii bananas fromTcnerilfo, which
shows that its oxortutioii lrom Grand
Canary is considerably oil tlio hiereaso, and
it is expected thut it will soon bocomo ono of
tho principal exports, as direct communica
tion between Grand Canary and London is
established. During ono yeur from 40,000 to
S0,000 clusters of this fruit wore shlpjxxl to
Europe, averaging threo shillings icr cluster,
Grand Canary ulono contributing between
2.1,000 and 150,000 clusters.
According to ono authority, ono pound of
tuuianas contains more nutriment than threo

CHICAGO'S PHYSICAL PECULIARITY.
Three Vlllcei tVlileli llnve rtoconie
Cltle In Sli A Prophecy.
Chicago tin a physical peculiarity that
radically allects ltsocial condition, and pro
Tents Its becoming homogeneous. It has one
business center and three listinct residence
parts, divided by tho brandling river Com
munication tietween tho residence sections
has to bo made through tho business city,
nnd Is further hindered by tho bridge cross
ings, which caiiMj irritating delays tho
greater art of tho year Tho result is that
threo villages grew up, now tieconio cities in
size, and each with n peculiar character.
The north side wusongttinlly tho more aris
tocratic, and hiivlngfenerrailwni-sandaless
occupied with business Inke front, was tho
most agreeable ns a placoof residence, olwnys
havtng the drawback of tho bridge crossings
to tho business art. After tho great tiro
building lots were cheaper there than on tho
south side within reasonable distance of tho
active city It has grown amazingly, and is
beautified by tatly houses and tlnoarchitec
ture, and would probably still bo called tho
1 more desirable place of resideneo. Hut tho
souui sine mis mo great ail vantages easy
access to the business center and to tho great
southern park and pleasure grounds. This
latter would decide many to live there, Tho
vast west side, with its lumber yards and
factories, it foreign settlements nnd Its
Herniation outnuiutiering tho two other sec
tions combined, is practically an unknown
region bocially to tho uorth side and south
side.
Tho causes which produced threo villages
surrounding a common business center will
continue to operate. The west sido will con
tinue to expand with cheap houses, or even
elegant residences on the park nvonmra it is
tho glory of Chicago that such a largo pro
portion of its houses nro owned by their oc
cupants, and that thero aro fow tenement
rookeries, and even few gigantic apartment
houses over a limitless pruirio, tho uorth
sido will grow in increasing beauty about
Lincoln park, and tho south sido will nioro
and more gravitate with iniosing houses
about tho attractive south parks. Thus tho
two fashionable part of tho city, separated
by live, eight mid ten miles, will develop a
social litoot their own, about as distinct as
Now York and Hrooklya It roniaius to bo
seen which will call tho other "Hrooklyn."
At present these divisions account for much
of tho disorganization of social life, and pro
vent that concentration which seems essen
tial to the highest social development.

the correspondent in the open, and tho brown
wnrriors made a rush for him. Thoy camo
