"It's Bella?Bella Bittersweet,"
smiled the girl," looking wonderfully
pretty, Aunt Bod ilia thought, with
deep dimples indenting the lair cheeks,
over which a faint, .blooming flush
had dawned, heightening their delicate
" beauty.

Ami when Miss Serena Saxon walkeJ
into the kitchen one day, as she frequently
did, with file air of proprietor,
she.stared haughtily at the fair-faced
girl, who sat whisking eggs, with uprolled
sleeves sHowing a pair of while,
dimpled arids Such as the Medieian

1 defiantly. ] .
"Of eourst? not! % I ain't the kind to

i i she retorted, significantly. * *
> "Very well." j .
i John looked resigned, as if he lu^tJ
1 1 made up his mind f<3r the sacrifice;
' but liis handsome face looked trou1
Med and, downcast.
- j Aunt Kodilla seized a moment to
t
bounce out to the Uitr-lion. as a relief
to her Indignation.
"Bella," she commanded, abruptly,
"lirincr in a glass of cherry wine.
Brolher John looks like he needed a
little stimulation of some sort."
And Aunt IJod.lla hurried hack,
while Bella rolled down her sleeves,
smoothed 'Gut the folds of ii-r apron,
and carried the glass of wine on a
tray to the parlor door.
Brother John stood in the cen-ro of
Hie room, tall and broad-shouldered,
with Spanish-brown eyes, dark, waving
hair, and moustache tawny as a
lion's mane; but with a grave, re-1
signed look on his dark, handsome features?Serena
hovering near, her black
eyes gleaming triumphantly.
Bella stood for half a second on
the threshold of the door; then there
was a crash, a cry of "Jack!" and
Aunt Rodilla's goblet lay in shattered
fragments on the floor, the ruby-red
vcfrte splashing over the carpet and the
gold-and-crimson wallpaper, and brothel
John was holding Bella, half-fainting,
in his arms, showering kisses on
t lie pale cheeks and tremulous coralred
lips.
"What is the meaning of this?" demanded
Serena, ' in violent tones.
"What's this girl to you, John Grover?"
i'
John clasped the slender rorm more
closely in his arms, and looked defiantly
into Serena's flashing; eyes.'
"She if? my wife," he answered, triumphantly.
Finding that her well-laid plans had
thus gone . "agley," Miss Serenaflounced
angrily from the house.
-And brother John- took the first ocy
casion to explain to his sister how he
had secretly married Bella two years
ago, her guardian being opposed >
the match. The boat on which they
took their bridal tour had been
wrecked, the young couple separated
and both had been reported- lost. And
Bella, having no proof of her marriage;
bad chosen to retain her maiden
name.

"I declare flir it; if I ain't glad, plum
to my gizzard," declared Aunt Rodilla,
. delightedly. "If I'd picked your wife
jpiyself, John. I couldu't a-chose one
that suited, me better.- .
"An' I <lo "believe my fheumatiz' is

How Rulers Arc Ad<lreeg?d.!
The simple little "madam" Is, as
most people know,. alMhat serves between
Victoria and h^r court to mark '
her dignity as the ruler of a world-,
wide empire.' Had Britain a king he
would be no more than "sire," the old
French form of "sir/' sacred to roy-<
alty. The term of "your majesty" is
only for. servants' and ceremonial occasions.
Not every one is aware, how-<
ever, that there are few other courts
v/here this simplicity prevails. The '
Emperor of Germany is "inajestat"?
there is no pronoun In the title?to all
and sundry, even to his family, except
when in absolute privacy. The Em*
peror 5f Austria is "eurer majestat" at
all +1 ues aud uudc-r all ch-cumstances;
th- 1'ing of Greece is' "votre majeste,"
French beidg('the court language, and
the King of Sweden is "eis majestat." >
Their royal contorts are. addressed with
the same formality. Only at' the courts
of Belgium and Italy may the sovereign
be greeted as "sire" orv"madam,"
though the etiquette of the Russian
court permits it when the French language
is beiug used. Nicholas II.. is
to his courtiers aud officials "czar."
To the lips of a Russian peasant face
to face with his sovereign the timehonored
"little father," "little mother,"
would spriug, as would "exeellenza"
to those of an Italian. It should be
noted in passing that not even their
most privileged courtiers may speak
to.monarchs unless they are spoken to.
This piece of etiquette does not work
out quite so stiffly as mi?*ht be expected;
once embarked on a Conversation
remarks and opinions may be offered
with a due amfluut of tact.

At a.Ceylon Hospital.
Every nurse w \o touches at the por^
of' Colombo wants.-to Inspect the model
little Lady. Havel,ock Hospital, which
! was suggested and opened'by the wife
of i. former 'Governor of Ceylon of
that name, says /the New York Tribune.
The hospital Is staffed entirely
by women,'and was buil,t for the benefit
of the native women whose religious
customs pnd traditions forbid
the ministrations of medical men.
The esident surgeon at the Lady
Havclock is a qualified Dutch burgher
?the first, and so far the only, woman'who
has studied and taken her decree
in Ceylon. The hospital stands
in the centre of beautiful grounds, full
of shady tropica1 trees and vivid flow- |
ers, and contains ten wards built on
the pavilion plan. Three rupees a day
?$1.50?and ten rupees entrance fee
cover the cost of nursing, medicines,
medical attendance and board. The
?< liAllnn/1 li?nf/lsw1 in
UI1UULLLT IS UIUDU'IIUUUUU, U1U1UCU 1U

.The native women are pleasant and
tractable patients. Nightgowns are
garments unknown to natives of Ceylon,
and it' is curious to see-patients in
bed with lengths of linen rolled around
them, t.iese doing duty as robes de
nuit.
The Cliii.ese Soldier.I
have read and 1 have heard It
stated that because of his perfect indifference
to death the Chinaman will,
when properly led, make a formidable
soldier, it is an uneonviucm^ aunc- .
inent. lie is indifferent to death, and
cases are common enough of Iiis selling
himself to die in the place of a
convicted criminal, and then dying
stoically. A criminal able to pay fifty
dollars for a substitute and something
more to bribe the law can usually escape.
Kut it suifly would be a sorry 1
"army that was composed of men to 1
whom life was a hopeless, dull, almost !
Intolerable thing. And life to the av- (
erage Chinaman is that, lie is not ^
aggressive# I)0t warlike, not courage- i
oils. Hey is willing to die, provided (
that the whole of hip body sliall be
buried with suitable riles by his fam- j
ily; but he fears nothing so much as
death without those rites; and dismom- '
berment is more than disgraceful and !
shameful, since it places him at a '
marked disadvantage in that, world
to come in which he has been' taught
lie will find indemnification for his
troubles in this.?John Russell Cor- j

Fair millions on the ground that she
was Senator .Fair's widows She .has
kept the whole State of 'California

with charges and counter-Charges of

she /thought were within her grasp
have slippeu away, aud so she's insane.
They've sent her to an asylum'
and looked her up in a padded cell,
and all California is drawing a long
breath and saying, "There!"
All of which lias a moral, and the !
moral is. Keep your temper.
Poor Mrs. Craven's temper has been
a by-word among all those who have
known her fp- years. It is barely
nossihlo. of cfrilr'sp. thr.f 1lir> tpmnor
was a sypinApni of insanity, and not
a diScasttJWiicli^ led to insanity. A
cause Jjfth not. an-..effect is- always
hard t$ tell where one thing begins
and another ends in these eases.
A bad temper is controllable.
Let it go without controlling long
enough and it controls you, and then
you are booked for a, pleasant little
term in a large house with grated
windows. ' *
The line between sanity and insanity
won't bear much stretching.
You can fool "\Vith it a long time,
and some day?snap, it's gone! and the
people jMn have tyrannized over begin
to be .afraid of you, and they send !
for the insanity expyt.
Ask any mental alienist in the world |
where an evil temper leaves off and
insanity begins, and he will shake his
head and tell you to ask him something
easy. A noted nerve specialist |
told me one day that nine out of ten j
vi. me piiiiums ju jjis asyuim couia'
be sane to-day if they had been taught
self-control. >'
It's rather good fun to lose your
temper and call names and smash
things. >i
V People look so nicc and s^^%antf
tfyey hurry and do what you wont,
them ,to so obediently, but so^ie day
you'll lose your temper where you ,i
capt,never find if apin, and then you'rfc.
what the yworli calls insane. Half
the^osanity in the world is made up,
one part morbid egotism and the other'
part'ba^'temper. 1

OvercroTvded London.
Mr. Haw shows us that oDe-fifth ot
the population of London,, that is to
say, about 900,000 people are systematically
breaking the law. He shows
lis, also, how private individuals may
set the law in action to punisli the-offenders
by fine or eviction. But what
he cannot show at present is where "
the evicted tenant is to go in order to
escape the necessity of offending ,
a'gain. People overcrowd becausc
they cannot get rooms, not because
they are not willing to pay for them.

ers as living eight or more in one j
rpom, over 1)000 as living seven and
more in a room, and nearly 20,000 as 1
living six and mo-j iu a room. Sineev't
then the population of the capital has j
increased by 300,000 people. There
are houses in London where rooms are :
let on the Box and-Cox principle, ten- i
nuts occupying in rotation for eight 1
hours each. Sometimes a young woman
will occupy the room 1>y day. which ,
is let to a young man by night. Peo* '
pie sleep under beds as well as fn
them, and pay rent for doing so.

Chinese Children. !
It has often been supposed that the
play life of Chinese children is meagre.
Let me say L am prepared to show
that their play life is as liclr and
varied as was the play life of Euro
penn and American cmuiren uerore me
time of Frederick Froebel ami the kin- !
dergarteu, except in the matter of toys !
and books. Since that time t'bo In- J
ventive genius of the West ban eclipsed |
that of the East.
The child is without picture-books, |
as we understand that term. lie may
have a badly .illustrated copy of the *
three-character historical classic, or
the "Twenty-four Examples of Filial
Piety." but no one in China has ever
thought of making a book of animals,
a book of soldiers, or a book of nursery
rhymes for the little ones.?Uafpcr's

Our Inland Waterways. . i
At present America has but IS,500 '
milne nf nnvicrjililo rivi>rs and onnills:
yet the marvellous possibilities of Ilussinn
inland navigation can in many j
respects be excelled by those in Anier* H
iea. With an expenditure equal in <
amount to the appropriation for petitions
by a single Congress (nearly
?3'H>,000,000 for tiie last two years), t
it has been estimated that an inland ]
coast waterway could be made navi- j
cable for Jarge steamers from Provi- *
(reiice Inlet, Rhode Island, to Halves- 1
ton, Texas, and the Ilio (Jraudc, on the
boundary line between the United '
States aud Mexico. A natural waterway
for almost tho entire distance tl- I
ready exists. To perfect the rouce,
hut comparatively little work is recL'ssary.?A.
