As It Is Viwed by One Who Be
lieves In Duke, Btc.
Nobody for American Helraaa to
Marry Bat Some ForlKr of
Position, I. the Bxpert
Opinion.
The other day the next duke to
marry an American girl entered a
restaurant In Fifth arenue to take
luncheon with one of the family he is
soon to join. In a few minutes every
table in the room buzzed with con
versation on the subject of tne mar
riage, says the New York Sun.
"It's a very good thing," said one of
three women who bowed to the duke,
"and nothing could be more ridiculous
than all this talk of buying a title.
When girls are as rich as this one,
there is practically nobody for them
to marry but some foreigner with as
much position as he haa."
"Anoi her thing that people never
seem to think about when they criti
cise these foreign marriages," said an
other of the trio, "is that these girls
do not want money and have no earth
ly use for any more. For that reason,
there are no grounds for their trying
to marry the rich men of their own
country.
"For one of them to marry a poor
man would in most cases be quite as
much criticised as if she took a for
eigner, and all sorts of things would
be said about the man who married
and settled down to live on his wife's
income.
"He might be a great author or in
ventor or artist, and In that way be
an appropriate match for her. But
you know there aren't many persons
01 mat Kind among tne men that a
girl of position could marry. Then
the utmost that she could enjoy any
how would be the reflected glory of
being his wife.
"But a duchess is something in her
own name. She has her own honors
and her own special privileges.
"Then there is a great deal in the
life she sees to interest a woman who
wants some change from the monotony
of society and domesticity. She is a j
sort of little, perhaps a very little,
queen, and there are delights in the
life she leads to be found nowhere !
else."
"And when it's all said and done,"
chimed in the third one of the group, i
"there is a certain kind of glory about j
having a good title that any woman !
enjoys so long as she has the other
things that go with it. If she has the
money to live up to It in the right
way, that sort of life offers more than
any in this country.
"If it were customary for the Amer
ican men that the women of wealth
meet here to go into politics, there
would be much more in their own
country for these Immensely rich girls.
They could go to Washington and take
part in official life there.
"But that happens only when girls
who have married foreigners come
back here with them. The only wom
en of wealth who play any part in
social life thera that would be agree
able to New York women are those
that have been married to men in tha
foreign diplomatic service.
"As it is there is practically nobody
left for these great heiresses to marry
but foreigners of title. And the happi
ness of the women who have done that
shows the wisdom of it when the men
they marry are worthy of their affec
tion. Nowadays the mothers usually
see to that.
"The dissipated and penniless for
eigner as a husband for the American
heiress is a thing of the past. The
American girls now get the pick of
the oldest title and the most attrac
tive of the men."
These opinions were uttered while
the trio from time to time glanced at
the young man who had created so
much interest in the restaurant. From
the attitude of the crowd that looked
at him there was evidently something
of the same feeling among the other
guests. But It was In any case only
the sentiment of a luncheon hour

The captain of a well-known Aus
tralian clipper, the Caduceus, wishing
to clear his ship of rats, offered his crew
a glass of grog for every rodent killed
or captured. The result was speedily
apparent in the diminished number of
rats, yet, somehow or other, there were
always a few, the crew, anxious for sup
plies of grog, having devised a means
of manufacturing thpm out of oakum.
The captain's curioiv was aroused one
day by noticing a supposed rodent float
ing very "light" on the port quarter.
He waited his chance, and when the
next man appeared with a rat the cap
tain remarked: "Throw it to wind
ward." The result was dead agpinst
the sailor, for the oakum rodent was
blown back on to the poop. Thence
forth there were no more rats and no
more extra grog. Shipping World.
The ChrjKHntheiimm.
Cultivation of the chrysanthemum in
China may be traced back to a very
early date. Already in the eleventh
century two strains were cultivated, the
one bearing yellow ray flowers and the
other white. Dr. Henry, who has col
lected specimens now in the herbarium
at Kew, England, believes that two wild
plants are the progenitors of all the
cultivated strains. The yellow flower is
found throughout China and Japan. The
white flower comes originally from
Hupeh, China.

Ketv Oil Well In Kaatiu.
The Industrial department of the San
ta Fe reports great activity in the south
eastern Kansas oil fields. The wells
completed in August number 170, of
which Independence, Neodesha and
Humboldt furnished 106. The dally
product of the tnlire field is now 6,847
barrels. Vigorous prospecting is going
on around Kodesha and Peru. Eastern
oil operators are turning their attention
to Kansas and many large holdings are
being secured.
The digestive tube is filled with fer
ment capable of attacking, of destroy
ing and of transforming the food with
which they come in contact, but these
ferments attack neither the walls of the
intestines nor the parasites which often
live in abundance on these walls, says
Public Opinion. What causes this con
dition? The question has often been
discussed and now the researches of M.
E. Weinland on the tryptlc ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 1891 Frenzel Btated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the intes
tines was due to the antiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment of M. Weinland along this
line is very interesting. A mixture waa
made of fibrine and of trypeine or of
pepsin and the whole was placed to di
gest after a little Juice of ascaris was
added. No digestion occurred. The ex
periment may be prolonged Indefinitely,
but the ferment does not attack the
flbrine when the anti-ferment Is pres
ent. Thus it is not the living tissues
which resist digestion, but the Juices

hundreds of feet deep, it was necessary
to lower all material from the top of
the cliffs by wire cables. The whole
stupendous task was made possible only
by the liberal use of the "V switch" or
"switchback." In one instance of the
Peruvian railroad it was found neces
sary to construct a switchback in the
side of the mountain, the train heading
in on the lower level and backing out
through an upper tannel almost exact
ly above. The coet of the Oroya rail
road, when completed, waa $43,000,000,
or $311,884 a mile, making It one of the
most costly roads in the world.

J Mrs. Elizabeth H. Thompson, df Lilly-L
dale, N. Y., Grand Worthy Wise Templar,
and Member of W. C. T. U., tells how she
recovered from a serious illness by the use of
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
' Deab Mrs. Pinkuam : I am one of the many of your grateful friends
who have been cured through the use of Lydia 13. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When
I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing
down pains ; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to get well,
and reading of the cures j our Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took
only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of all my troubles.
" My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece
had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable.
She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she
became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's
delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have
been cured of different kind3 of female trouble, and am satisfied that your
Compound is the best medicine for sick women." Mks. Elizabeth II. Thompson,
Box 105, Lillydale, N. Y.
Thousands upon thousands of women throughout this country
are not only expressing such sentiments as the above to their
friends, but are continually writing letters of gratitude to Mrs.
Pinkham, until she has hundreds of thousands of letters from
women in all classes of society who have been restored to health
by her advice and medicine after ail other means had failed.
Here is another letter which proves conclusively that there is no
other medicine to equal Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered with
poor health for over seven years, not sick
enough to stay in bed, and not well enough to
enjoy life and attend to my daih-duties proper
ly. I was growing thin, my complexion was
sallow, and I was easily upset and irritable.
" One of mv neighbors advised me to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and I procured a bottle. A great
change for the better took place within a
week, and I decided to keep up the treatment.
" Within two months I was like a changed
woman, my health good, my step light, my
eves bright, mv complexion vastly improved,
and I felt once more like a young girl. I
wonder now how I ever endured the misery.
I would not spend another year like it for a
fortune.
"I appreciate my good health, and give
all the praise to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs.
M. Tili.a, 407 Habersteen St., Savannah, Ga.
Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of such letters.
