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

front, made a sort of rustic, picture

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.

mind about that.

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

Oh. grandfather. I am so glad!"
: cried Natalie, turning pink and white

"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

The dy that war Is declared be
tween France and Germany what will
happen? At lirt there will be, of
coins., the general mobilization ac
cording to the new method which the
German staff has recently adopted.
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 ear are readv, ami
the coal for the railroads was laid iu
long ago.
Four or live days afler the first ad
yanee KUO.UtiU men will form the sec
ond line. Finally there will be the
lamLstrum with about l.liXJ.UOO on the
first call. All these troojw are thor
oughly drilled and armed with repeat
ing rifles. 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. There is only one su
periority of tactics, and our tactics
must lie' adapted to the conditions of
modern arms. Now, these conditions
have changed with the enemy, and we
must soon do like. him. It is high
time to study the effects which the new
arms must have tijuin the tactics of bat
lie. Umiii the way t lead troops into
actioti. In future all infantry w hich is
not completely hors de combat is in
vulnerable in front. 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.

How many are there who recall the
association of the Itnrbides with the
late FUmpress of Brazil? 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.

No one would delilx-rately act out

If only we might have realized -lie-fore

we might have Hsesed a little tea
pot of real value instead of trash!
The true pleaarea of buying can
not lie realized by ihose who indulge
in trash, they lose the happy choosiug
of that which is to gratify some long
felt want; of that which it is lo be Ihe
tangible result of thoughtful delibera
