Answer: Love is a very com plex and complicated combination of sensations. There are more frost and fever, more bliss and agony, more smiles ' and tears and more exhilaration and des peration to the square inch in love than in all the other experiences of the hu man family. Philosophers and sages have tried in vain, ever since the world began, to find out just exactly what it is. It is altogether likely that Ida could answer the question quite as well as the prophets of old.

Somewhat apropos of weddings, at least of weddings that may be, is a story told by one of the leading salesmen for a well known jewelry house. It is not uncommon for brides elect just after the election to resort to some sort of clever artifice to find out the intrinsio value of the glittering bauble that proclaims her to be his. Sometimes they do their own deteotive work, but perhaps more fie- quently a curious mother takes charge of it, under the impression, as she makes you believe, that if the ring is all it is pretended to be the giver's oharacter is like it The originator of that theory has never been discovered. The disciples are legion. , . . The salesman in question was ap proached by a woman of the fashion' able world and her daughter., The lat ter looked somewhat embarrassed, and the experienced young man behind the counter thought he recognized the symp toma "I desire to get a ring for my daugh ter," said the woman. The salesman looked at the young lady. "Not this one, another daughter. It is to be a surprise. " 1 She was shown case after case of dia mond rings, but none seemed to suit her. Finally she said to the daughter, "Show him yours, dear. " Blushingly she took off her glove and slipped a sparkling ring from her engagement finger. "I want to get one exaotly like that How much will-it cost?" The salesman looked at the ring, and the girl watched him as bravely as she could. He recognized it as one he had sold to Mr. Blank a few days before. "Isn't she crafty?" . he thought "Well, I'll fix her this time." So he handed ' the ring back to the daughter and said: " "The cost of this ring, madam was a confidential matter between Mr. Blank and myself. 1 We haven't another like it in the house. I understood from his re marks that he thought the ring would not be valued at its intrinsic worth, However, if you wish to know its val ue, take it to some pawnshop and mul tiply what they will offer you for it by three, and you will get pretty nearly the correct price. , - The mother flounced out of the store in great wrath. Her daughter followed, almost in tears. Of course the store lost their patronage, but the salesman said he couldn't resist the temptation to give them a lesson.

Mr. Bullion, " said the young man, "I 've been square with you in this matter, and I want to borrow $50 for two weeks. " i The old man shook his head. "Sorry," said he, 'but can't let you have it" "Why not?" and the young man was greatly astonished. "Because yon have disappointed me, and I don't want to be disappointed again.

The extraordinary announcement that has recently appeared in the German papers to the effect that, by virtue of a decree obtained from the courts, Baron Albert von Ohlendorff had disinherited and disowned his eldest son, the Baron Oscar von .Ohlendorff, on account of his extravagance, habitual drunkenness and general misconduct, ' is necessary, ac cording ' to Teutonio law, in order to render inoperative the claims, which the young man would otherwise possess, upon his parents' property. On the con tinent of Europe parents are held to have certain obligations, so far as prop erty and maintenance are concerned, toward the children whom they have brought into the world, and disinherit ance is only permitted when the sanc tion of the courts has been obtained a sanction given in such cases as ' the above alone or where the son has be come a criminal, Berlin Letter. A Confiding Candidate For Con nubial Bliss and Cold Cash. A SAMPLE MATRIMONIAL "AD." A Fresh Verification of Mm Theory That the Fools Are Not All Dead Yet "Too Pay the Draftt 'U Do the Rest" Was the Bur den of Her Song-. " - The gage opinion ventured by the burnt cork philosopher that "there is a fool born every minute" seems to find credence with the patrons of the matrimonial advertise ment columns of some of our pretentious metropolitan contemporaries. , It is evi dently for the purpose of reducing the supply of fools that these columns are con ducted. The bait dangled before the eyes of the aspirant (or matrimonial bliss Is al ways of the most tempting description. The advertiser Is invariably rich, healthy and handsome and endowed with uncom mon moral, social and intellectual quali ties. . -;- '. ' ' That such a one should need to go beg ging in the matrimonial market seems re markable; that such begging should be successful seems preposterous. Yet there is abundant evidence that many fine gud geons are hooked by the glittering bait of the matrimonial advertisement. Witness the following notice, which appeared in a New York paper, and its sequel: A REFINED and accomplished young Amer- il lean lady, a good housekeeper, just com- pleting her education in Europe, worth $40,000 and living unhappily with her guardian, wishes to correspond with some good, true man living in America who is matrimonially inclined; no objection to country life; no adventurers need answer; no attention will be paid to replies unless the writers contemplate Immediate mat rimony and give full name, age, present occu- pationand state their financial standing. The photograph of the writer must also positively be inclosed. AddreBS Matrimonial, box 900, 403 Oxford street, London, Eng and. ,; This tempting "ad. " caught tho hopeful eye of a young St. Louis man, who' wrote to the "accomplished young American lady" and pictured himself in glowing colors. He was literally rolling In wealth, and all he needed was a handsome wife to help him spend it . We have the word of our veracious contemporary, the St." Louis Republic, for it that be received the fol lowing letter In reply: ' ' ' , ; , Carlsbad, Austria, J une 6. . Mi Dear Friend Among the many replies that 1 have received to my matrimonial adver tisement signed Box 900, 403 Oxford street, Lon don, England, yours is the only one I intend to answer. I do not know why, but it seems as if I was guided In my choice by bod and the WINNIE WOODWARD. (Taken from the photograph sent to St. Louis. spirit of my angel mother. I was born and reared In New York city. My mother died Brat and then my father. I am the only child. My father's will left me his entire property, with my uncle as sole trustee until I marry. when his power over me ceases, thank God, forever. My property consists principally of bank stocks and railroad bonds. Now, my uncle, who came here from London to drink the mineral waters for his health, in order to carry out his own selfish ends denies me the company of all young men and con stantly forces upon me the society of bis son, a wretched dude, whom I despise and whom he wishes me to marry in order to keep the money belonging to me in the family. I would rather kill myself than marry him, and this state of affairs has become unbearable to me; 4-met a lady in London who advised me to advertise for a husband. She met her husband that way and leads a very happy life. , Of the man to whom I would give my heart I would not ask if he possessed a dollar, so long as he was good and true and gave me his love and attention and was willing manfully to do his duty in that state of life in which it had pleased God to call him. - , I was brought up in the Protestant faith, but am very liberal regarding religion. I am now 20 years old and in perfect health. I am con sidered a good pianist, and I know that I am a good cook and housekeeper. My feelings would never allow me to stray from the paths of rec titude and virtue. ...-' Having decided upon this step. 1 Intend to carry it out to the end. I am going to put my self absolutely In your hands. All the corre spondence in the world would not bring us any closer than we are now. We must meet face to face and eye to eye. I must go to you, and if 1 am to go I must start very soon. My uncle after his course of treatment here is going to Japan and Intends to take me and his son with him. My belief is that when we meet at your home we can come to an understanding in an hour and be married the same day. If you are dissatisfied with me when we meet, why, we can part good friends. If we marry, which 1 feel is a foregone conclusion, we will force a settlement of my estate at once. I have been to the shipping office and learned that It will cost me about $300 to come to you first class. As It would be Impossible for me to secure the money without arousing suspicion, I will draw a draft on you today for the amount. In the meanwhile, should my uncle wish to start on his journey, I will feign sick ness and compel him to wait until the money arrives from you. I will then take the first train for London and will telegraph you from there what ship I will take for America. Do not write me here, as my unole might get the letter. Simply pay the draft; I will do the rest. Awaiting with greatest anxiety the day of my departure to begin a new and happier life, I remain your loving future wife, , - . . WXHHIB O. WOODWARD. The letter was written on autograph itencil paper and duplicated by the mime ograph process. Therefore it is supposed that many thousands of them were sent out. Doubtless the advertiser, male or fe male, has secured enough money from credulous persons to enable her to pursue her continental Journey until autumn, when some other brilliant idea will flit Into her head, and she will proceed to cash It as she did this one. ; It is perfectly safe to announce, however, that any one con templating matrimony and awaiting the arrival of the fair "Winnie" to oomplete the contract had better go home and raise another crop and then marry some i nice American girl who has not had the advantages of a European education,. .
