"When I was lust summer ' ni
mark," says the Paris eorr.ispo vlit
of Truth, "I went to I'rimkenau.wVri!
the dukes of Augustenburg hail their
residence. Empress Augusta Victoria
was born and brought up there. The
empress, as a child, had known, I was
told. by a member of the little ducal
court, the emperor in childhood, lint
going, to Cassel, and then to lionn us a
student, he lost sight of her. The ac
quaintance was renewed under roman
tic circumstances. When he wns
twenty or thereabouts he was sent i:i
the early summer on a tour to llol
stein, and extended it to Primkennu.
The young princess was a finely grown
girl and blooming as a rose. Mic some
how heard who was coming and dressed
in her best to receive him. Growing
tired of waiting she got into a ham
mock swinging in an arbor, which was
scented with freshly-blown liiac.
There she fell asleep.
The wandering prince cum;; by the
arbor, fr.w the sleeping beauty, and
was conquered. It is said that as he
was gazing on her she was dreaming
that, more fortunate than her mother,
she was being wafted to a magnificent
throne, and that an imperial evowu
had descended on her head. William
did not mean to disturb the sleeping
beauty, but, as usual, he was in uni
form, and the dragging of his swi il on
the asphalt of the summer house ami
the clanking of his spura betrayed him.
She awoke, and saw a pair of eyes that
looked love at hers, and then she
rushed away toward the residence.
Presently her governess came to tell
her that the crown prince of Prussia
was there. Her mother, the duchesti
1 dowager, being ill, it devolved on Au
gusta Victoria to do the honors. She
hastened to welcome the illustrious
visitor. He lost no time in declaring
himself her lover, and they were en
gaged before he left the house.
ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS.
Queer Dol'tgs and Ideas of Some of the
World's Greatest Men anil Women.
We often hear people offering objec
tions to certain of their acquaintances
because they are "queer." Eccentric
ity, however, is of tener allied to genius
than not, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Among the musicians there have been
found some of the most whimsical of
men.
Haydn could not compose satisfac
torily to himself without first having
put on his best suit of clothes and pow
dered his hair. Nor could he get his
ideas in form until he had placed upon
his finger a diamond ring presented to
him by Frederick II. Another com
poser, Sacehini by name, deplared that
he never had any moments of inspira
tion excepting when his 'two pet eais
were sitting upon his shoulder.;, in
other lines than music we find that
Tyeho de Urahe, the celebrated astron
omer of the sixteenth century, dropped
to the ground whenever he caught siij lit
of a hare or a fox. Ladislaus, kin of
Poland, took to flight as soon as i; j :;aw
an apple, llenry ill.. King of Ling
land, could not bear to be in a room
where there was a cat, even though he
might not see it. Erasmus, of I totted
dam, one of the most enlightened men
of the period, was thrown into a lever
at the sight of a fish, llacon, the great
English chancellor, fainted while n;az
ing at an eclipse of the moon. ,Ioim
II., gra.nd duke of Moscow, fell int a
swoon at the sight of a woman surely
the strangest peculiarity ever noticed
in a man.
Chevalier de Guise was similarly
affected by the sight of a rose, even
without smelling its fragrance. .Alaria
de Medici, the wife of Louis XII., fond
as she was of flowers, generally speak
ing, could not disguise her repugnance
to roses, even painted ones.
TYPICAL AMERICAN STUDENTS.
Two Unldeallzed Statues on Kxliibj tlon In
Boston The Dimensions of Kach.
Two interesting statues, the result
of much hard work, vfere put on ex
hibition in Uoston recently. One was
that of a young man and the other Unit
of a girl. They were designed to
represent the American college stu
dent, not the ideal American student
of either sex, but the actual, typical
student, the measurements used hav
ing been the average, or mean, of, de
velopment of students from various
parts of the country. The statues arc
described by the Rochester Post and
Express as representing "fairly well
built young persons, symmetrically de
veloped, and without serious physical
defects." The figures have an" easy
pose, standing firmly and gracefully.
The faces, which were modele.l after
composite photographs made from the
students from whom the mensurer.it nts
were taken, are handsome and thought
ful, with a marked air of refincir. nt.
The face of the young man is the hand
somer of the two, but that of the
young woman is nearest the classic
standard. In the former's figure there
are some marked departures from the
standard. The hands and knees are
large, while the wrists are small- The
height of the male is five feet eight
inches and of the female five feet t'irei;
laches. The male represents a wehrht
01 one hundred and thirty-eight and
one-half pounds and the female one
hundred and fifteen pounds. Eacli
figure represents measurements taken
from forty-two leading parts of the
body and those show the average de
velopment of each sex at the age of
twenty-one years. It is worthy of note
that the typical American student has
a better physical development than
that of the British or German, as is
shown by comparison with measure
ments made recently in those coun
tries. Assnaires Ills Anirer.
The Arabian woman who is about to
contract a second marriage goes to the
grave of her late husband and prayt
that he will not be offended on account
of hcrsecond nuptials. As a sort o:
propitiatory offering she poursovcrthe

SEVERAL KINDS OF AN ANIMAL.
The I'latyims, of Austrullii, AVtiieh Looks
Like lllrils anil IIohkIh.
It is less than a century since the
European hunted the platypus to his
lair, the first published account of him
having appeared in the Naturalist's
Miscellany of London in 17111). It would
be interesting to know the effect that
was made upon the first discoverer of
whatNcribner'seallsan animated para
dox than which nature furnishes
nothing more anomalous, in its com
bination of duck-like mandibles and
webbed feet, the latter further
equipped with spurs like the game
fowl and claws like the true burrow
ing quadrupeds, mole-like eyes and
otter-like fur, body of musquash and
tail of beaver. One who was addicted
to his cups might recognize in the
creature merely the figment of an al
coholized brain, and an artist regard
him as the prototype of one of those
uncanny monsters which sprawl upon
the floor of St. Anthony's cave in Ten
iers' bizarre pictures of the temptation
of that holy character. Our earliest
and, in fact, almost our sole accounts
of the platypus are confined to bald
and literal descriptions of his appear
ance and habitat, from which we learn
that he is. confined to Tasmania and
the soutfiern districts of Australia; and
although his race has been thought to
embrace two or three species, it is now
generally agreed toconsistof only one.
You may repair many times to the
favorite haunt of the platypus before
you see him, and to discover the re
treat to which he modestly retires on
observing your presence is a task im
possible, except by accident, to any
other than a black fellow. To these
cunning hunters, however, there arc
no secrets of beast or bird; their un
erring instinct tells them when the
platypus, diving near the edge of the
stream, is in quest of food, or when he
is seeking the submerged entrance to
his burrow; and they will advise you
either where to point your gun in ex
pectation of the animal's reappearance,
or wnere to tug in tne liank in con
fidence of striking the grass-lined nest
wherein he dwells and rears his re
markable family.

and her sister arrived in San Francisco
they went to the house of Mr. Ciprico,
who took them into his family, they be
ing nearly tho same age of his own
aughters. Here thoy were treated as
members of the family, being taught
Italian and French and music by tho
daughters. They lived with thoir bone
factors six or soven years.
In 1805 Ilungerford Opened a harbor
shop on his own account at Mokolumne
Hill, Cal., and Louise, who was then
about ninotcen years old, acted as hor
fathor's housekeeper they having ono
room in the rear of tho siiop. Ho was
proprietor of but short duration, for he
soon "busted" up in business. During
this poriod a Dr. Bryant, who kept a
small drug store at Nevada City, about
one hundred miles from Mo'keluinne I
Hill, paid attention to Louise. I
and she was married to him aftei
a short courtship. Dr. Bryant, be
ing a man of dissolute habits, died two
or throe years afterward of delirium
tremens, leaving Mrs. Bryant no means
of support for herself and daughter Eva,
now tho Princess Colonna. Her father's
failure in business and her husband's
death compelled her to seek servieo in
the family of J. W. Walker, brother of
the lateex-GovornorWalkor.of Virginia,
and thore she mot for tho first time J.
W. Mackay, superintendent of tho Bul
lion mine at Virginia City, Nov. Louiso
Bryant, for a brief timo previous to her
going into tho servieo of Mr. Walkor,
had tried a hand at keeping a hoarding
house for tho miners.
Mr. Mackav waseomfort.!i.lilTf!vr1 ,,,!
couiu proviuo her a home, such as tho
miners used in those days, simply a
cauiii oi two rooms. Bo ho courted and
won the Widow Bryant. Her father
!n the moantimo had gono back to his
former "boss" and procured employment
ana neipea to pay tho youngest daugh
ter's board. Mrs. Mackay was cook and
general housokoepor and laundry-woman,
and helped entertain her husband's
;o-workers in tho mines.
Mr. Mackav soon after at.t.iinnrl
wealth, and Mrs. Mackay and her sistor
had the advantage of a common school
education and could speak fluently Ital
ian and French, thronrh the nssne.l-.i ir.
of tho Ciprico family, who were re
markably woll educated l.hm.n nt i.
daughters of Mr. Ciprico are school
teachers in Sun Francisco to-day. When
Mrs. Mackav, hor daughter Ev.-i. nml
sister went, abroad, it was to get away
irom tier lornior associates. When she
returned for the flrst.timn to Sim liVnn-
Cisco sho called upon tho Ciprico girls,
hut from that day to tho present she has
ignored her former teachers and bene
factors. The people of San Francisco who
know the facts as abovo stated are indig
nant at Mrs. Jonn W. Mackay's ingrati
tude to a family that, had done so much
for her in her early days of poverty and
somewhat adventuresome life.
John Ilungerford now known as Col,
Ilungerford of the ITnited States army
was formerly known as "Jack Hunger
ford, tho barbo" " lie wasagood artist,
and thero is no disgrace attached to hia
business. Louise earned her daily bread
as a boarding-houso keeper, lim tho
worst, of ingratitude conies in to those
wlio took care of her am! gam her the
advantages of an early edueat.ion. This
we think tho worst of crimes.

South American Ants That Cultivate GraM,
$ Own Hlaves and Use Umbrellas.
A recent lecturer on ants and their
ways described those of South America,
who build immense structures and pro
vide' space for the storage of grain.
Wood ants, inhabiting hardwood trees,
divide their houses into forty compart
ments. Noticing the mining ants, the
lecturer said much might be learned
from their cleanly habits and their won
derful sanitary arrangements. Some
kinds of ants do not keep cows, but
live entirely on grain. Mr. Plunket
gave some facts about their interesting
harvesting operations stating that
they planted and cultivated a kind of
grass called the rice and were so ad
vanced in civilization that malting was
understood by them. Then there are
mushroom growing ants who cultivate
fungus, and others again who use um
brellas. Several species make raids on
the black ants, rob them of -their
larva? and compel the poor, black ants to
be their slaves. In the burying of
their dead ants show wonderful intelli
gence, having cemeteries, and even bury
their slaves in a different place from
their masters, and are quite up in fu
neral pageantry. In conclusion the
lecturer aaid that much could be
learned from ant life, in their wonder
ful government, sanitary arrangements,
common brotherhood, nursing and care
of tho young, temperance and love of
fresh air.
W. F. Licsching, writing in the new
number of the Selborne Society's Mag
azine on ants in Ceylon, says he saw
one day a striug of ants streaming
forth, evidently in search of "pastures
new." He flicked away the leader and
wailed to see the result. An inimediate
halt was made by the foremost ants,
and a scene of the utmost confusion en
sued. The ants from behind kept ai
riving at the scene of the catastrophe
and there was soon a black crowd of
ants huddling and jostling one another.
Somo detached themselves from the
main group and took a turn round, try
ing to find traces of their leader. At
last the tail end of the line arrived, and
after brief consultation they all started
oif again, and a line soon began to un
ravel itself from the tangled mass,
moving back to the hole from which
the whole company had so lately start
ed on "pleasure bound or labor all in
tent." AS TO DUCKS.

A. Man from the City Kinds Nothing to
; Admire in the Amblliiuious Fowl.
The Boston Transcript doesn't seem
to like ducks. It is a mistake, it says,
to regard the duck as a complacent
cheerful, amiablo creature. It
is really a restless, eager, unhappy
fowl, with a want long felt, an aching
void in its crop that is never filled. A
duck is simply a waddling appetite.
The fanners have taken to raising
ducks to supply eggs for the Boston
market, where they bring higher prices
than hen'c eggs do, though' tho farmer
himself and his family scorn
to eat them. The pond is not
considered a requisite for ducks.
"Give 'em plenty to eat and plenty of
water to drink," says Uncle Ira, "and
they don't want any water to swim in."
Perhaps they don't ask for it, but it is
hard to believe that they don't want it
It is a terrible thing to see ducks eat
meal. They shovel it with their bills
until their throats are crammed, then
waddle to the trough und drink a lot of
water und then shovel a great deal
more of the dough. In drinking they
do not lift their eyes to heaven after
the pious fashion of the hens. Uncle
Ira took a fork and went to digging in
the earth near the chip pile. Instantly
the ducks swarmed quacking around
and fell to picking up the earth-worms
that came up with the fork. Nothing
could parallel their greed. They eat un
til they could surely eat no more, and
Uncle Ira desists for fear of killing
them, and then they run oil and go to
bunting insects ns if they had had noth
V" eat for a week.
