It Is difficult to understand why peo ple should lie williiifr to pay anch lonjf prices for titular distinctions for their daughters, says a Paris K-itor to the New York HorM, when It would eost them so much less to acquire a title fir , themselves which they could leave to their children and which has the jrreat advantage of being fne from any en cumbrance. .Nowadays nothing Is ' easier than to develop into a duke, marquis, or count, and at a very small outlay. I rememlHT lieing neonate. ; once in the Villa gardens in Naples by ; an old gentleman, who intrnlncel him- ; self as Prince Dei Cittadiui, and who, after sundrr preliminary offers to , adopt me as Ills sou for a trifling con- j sideration of $40 and the expenses of the legal document which would h:te en- ; titled me to wear the name and honors of the DeiCittadini family. The man's title was all right. He was the repre- i Rent stive of one of the ldet Koman i families.and. lieing dead-broke, made a precarious living in this way. Ha told j me that he had more than UK) adopted ! children, ami that accordingly there j were that number of princes of the Dei j Cittadini familv in existence. The title j of each of these was perfectly genniue ' as the Italian law stands, and the name ! is a most illustrious one. In France one sees every nay aoierii-cmeius iu the papers from nobles tiering to adoot people who may wish to l-ar a sonorous name, and these offers are frequently taken advantage of by am bitious persons' sous. A case hapencd some time ago where a voutig marquis adopted as his son and heir a middle aged giocer.who had retired from busi ness with a large fortune and wishes to do some shining in society. He figures now as a count, ami hould his juvenile adopted father die liefore him lie will blossom out into a full-blooded marquis. And there are many other ways of getting a handle to one's name without marrying; some greely dead beat. There is a worthy American dentist livinsr in Paris at this moment "FIFTH CENTS A TICKET." She was apreading towels and table cloths on the crisp, short grass to blench, when h saw her lirst - a slim, Diana-like young creature, with large, limpid eyes, a brown skin not entirely Innocent of freckles ami a muss of jetty ahining hair, which bad broken loose from Its coarse horn comb ami fell In iuk-b'aik ripples down her back. Tliera was a little brook twining its transparent sparkles around the cnnrled roots of an ancient tree, and a baek-ground of black-green laurel. hich ith the sun-bathed meadow in front, made a sort of rustic, picture that struck Paul (Jessner's artistic fancy as he crossed the wooden bridge. I should like to sketch her." he thought-to himself. 'l wonder, now, v. Imt.slio would say to it!" lint before he could get his pencil anil mill-boards out the toung Diana had poised her empty basket lightly on her head and was gone. I'm sorry for that," soberly pon dered Uessner. "She had a brilli-.mt ; Charlotte Cortlay sort of a face that would hare stood the lest of pei-et na tion on paper!" And then Mr. (!esner went Into the Inn and set himself at woik to elabor ate the notes of his lectin on " The Literature of Queen Anne's Time," which was to he delivered the next ee ning at the village hall. There were plenty of people at the Inn. 1 rook bridge was a wild, sxlvan sort of place, which attracted eotle in the summer seasou. Kvery farm-house and cottage in the vicinity was crowd ed, and a 'lecture" was something to stir the stagnation of their eery-day life. Moreover, Paul tiessner had a reputation for scholarly polish ami graceful wit which had reached even to Hrookbrldge. In our New Kiisrland village the cooks are often M'lhetic. ; aud the hired men critics, and every- ' bodv was talking of the lecture. .'airt I go?" said Natty Purple, i Oh, I wish 1 could k!" The towels and t.tble-cloths were all ': bleached whiter than snow, between the daisied gi as and the July sun shine, and Natty was sprinkling and folding litem now, w illt quick, deft lingers, in an olisciire corner of the ; Uilrhen. You fi. indeed!" said Mis Carry ' Podhaiu. w ho condescended, lo wait at table during the crowded season. You've too much o do in the kitchen, aud tiefidcs the tickets are lilt v ceuU each!" Natty Purple sighed dolorously. 'Fifty cents!" she repented. "Oh, then of "course it's out of the question!" For Natty's sleuder wages were all of them expended in the support of a good-for-nothing old grandsire who. when he w as not drinking a great deal too much whisky, was suffering unheard-of agonies" with, the rheumatism. She never wore anything but calico, and drudged away in the Inn kitchen like a modern Ciuderella, w ithout any of the eclat which, in ancient story, aj pertained to lhat young person. But later In the evening the head : stable-man looked into the kitchen, where Cinderella was darning a well ' worn table-napkin and Mrs. Pod ham ; was preparing brook trout for a break fast for the morrow's early travelers. "Where's Jim? said the head stable man. . "Gone out," aid Mrs. Podham, curtly. ' T want some one to row one of ; boarders out on the la ke," said i stableman. "He's a picter-pal nter, I guess. He : wants moonlight effects, he6ays" (with a chuckle.) mind about that. uod faith. i And once again our hero found him self at a loss for something to say. A ut when lie came out into the moon- , bathed glories of the F.cho Cove, where ; all the world was sleeied iu silver soft ness and the mailed masses of water lilies were swinging to and fro on llin tides like emerald carpets, his tongue was loosened once again, anil before; they came back, he ami N.Htie Purple : w ere on terms of the p!easaiitst ac quaintanceship. Hut he hail not sketched half so much 4 he had expected. "The light was so iinceiifln." he said, "he could repralitce it Inciter by the nest da. 'a memory." Nallie went to the lecture with her fin-cent fjiicce and listened with a grave ; and critical Inteiitiiess, which spurred Paul (iessner ou lo hi highest elocu tionary effects. "It w as very good," she said the nexl lay, "very goinl, indeed. It has given me something to think almul. And, oh, ileal ! 1 have so much time for thinking!" "Natty," said Mr. fiessner (every body rafted the girl "Natty" here), : I nave been wondering why lu stay here nt all." Where else should I stay?" she questioned him, with simple direct ness. "Why do you not go to Boston and teach school?' he questioned. Oh!" cried Natty, clasping her hands eagerly, "do oil think there would lie any possibility of niv obtaining a situa tion there?" We must see what can lo done." said Paul, reflectively. So Grandfather Purple was left in charge of a thrifty neighbor and staid by himself that winter, while Natty went to Huston to try her luck in oneo! the grammer schools. In the spring she came back, apparently transformed ; into a new creature. I didn't want you," growled the old man. The Widow M illey takes good ! enough care of me. To tell you the ' truth, we was married lat week, and Mrs. Purple she don't want no siep I gramblai ters around." Oh. grandfather. I am so glad!" : cried Natalie, turning pink and white j in one bivalh. "IWait-e I am not coming hack to slay. Air. tiessner "Oh, I understand." said Grandfather Purple, chuckled hoarsely. "You're going to lie married, too." Yes." said Natty, 'I'm going to be married." Thus ended the little Hrookbridge I I. Natalie w as happy. So was Paul Gessner. As for Grandfather Purple and his elderly bride, let us hope lhat they were not very unhappy. For the roses and nightingales of life can uot Im enjo ed by every one and the spring tide of the world comes but once Amy Han'U''j'h in A". 1". Le-t-jr. I"! win Forrest. so much.

On the German side that mobilization will lie effected in a short time. In a little over 1.- 4K).HN men will las concentrated on the frontier at the jmiIiiIs tixed by the general staff.

The artillery and cavalry have alt that Is necessary for under taking a campaign. One can imagine. therefore, what the nest war will be. It will be frightful ami merciless. It is quite jMissible that the victors will be just as much exhausted and decimated as the conquered. Certainly the Franco-German war of 1U70 will look like child's play compared with the coming struggle, which everybody is talking about, but which nobody but a madman would desire. We do not lelieve there is a sensible man in all Germany who does not pray for a long peace, because the next war, even if it should result in a Tietory for Germany, musi make more widows and orphaiis'thau all the wars of Europe during the last hundred t ears. Lender the title of "How Shall We Attack in the Coming War?" a pam phlet has recently appeared in Berlin, nposed to la- the work of a staff of ficer. It treats of the present con ditions of attack by infantry, in view of ail the changes of tactics made necessary by the repeating r fie and ; the smokeless jaiwder. "We can no t longer count," Bay s the writer, "ujajn i our suiieriornv in numoers ami in armament.

The success of an attack according to the old principles of warfare m.-si prove an exception and a repulse the rule. This does not mean thai a position cannot in future be carried ; et ery jxisition can be car tied, but uot in front. "Iu the next war the German in fantry cannot count, as in 70-71. np on the support of the ajtiilery. for the enemy has made as much progress in artillery as Germany, if not more. and. considering the range of the present riiles. the artillery must keep itself at a greater distance than it did in years past, and leave the battle to lie decided by the infantry. The advantage of rather j superiority of Individual firing also j teuds to decline at long range, and, ' alove all. with weapons so easily ban died as the modern small liore." The pamphlet concludes wilht the as sertion that while the offeusive is still the liest form of combat, and the oue to be recommended, it must fail en tirely if the enemy is uot enveloped by luruing movements by which he can be placed uuder converging lirea. ami re turn to i us w ith lo cents and receite ten sample that will make you more money in a week than anythiriK ever offered.

She was morally certain, she averred, thai Jim was a lxrn lawyer, and that all he needed w as a "Vance. "But, madam," objected the colonel, 'he is entirely too oung to begin the study of law."

Miss Iturb de, daughter of the unfortunate Mexican Htentate. was an intimate friend of the Empress, and during her visit to New York sjeiit much time with her. Two decades ago the name of Iturbide was as well known as that of Doui Pedro to-day. Mexico has always offered the spectacular to the view of nations, and Iturbide'a career was in keeping with Mexican mise en scenes. Miss Iturbide returning to Philadel phia always kept up a certain state. She conducted herself with the dignity of royalty, and commanded always a peculiar "kind of respect, even from her few intimate friends. Her life had its romance. When j quite young she fell in lore and be came "engaged to a naval officer. State reasous obliged her to separate from him. The engagement was broken. Years went by. After her father's dow nfall Miss Itnrbide met Captain theu Admiral , but pride for bade her accepting his advances. They met frequently, but never soke, each waited for a "signal from the other. When on her deathbed she whisjiered to an attendant to seek him. As chance had it Admiral , having heard of her illness, was at that moment about to enter the house. The servent sent to summon hi:n met him without recog nition and explained that her mistress could see no one! He lingered a mo nieut on the door-step, riuging the bell at last, left his name and sadly walked aw ay! So the pride of years had its most pathetic fall. After her death it was found that in a memorandum she had left word that he only was to see her in death. They sent for him, of course, and he kept the lonely tryst with the woman whom only pride and political influence had kep"t from happiness as his wife. No other human being save those needed for her interment looked again upon her face. A painted photograph taken of her and the Empress of Hra7.il to gether shows Miss Iturbide as a bril liant, dark-eyed, olive-skinned girl of 25, with rippling waves of hair aud a peculiarly attractive smile.
