Last July Fredda Strabler, a very pretty and accomplished young German girl and an heir to a fortune of £500,000, while in Berlin became acquainted with Chris Hofman, a young Ger- man, who was employed as printer on a Boston paper, and fell desperately in love with him. The girl was engaged to be married at the time to « wealthy German student, but she deter- mined not to marry him, but wed the man of her choice. Her guardian seriously objected, Dut she was obdurate. She secured porsession of several valuable negotiable papers and a large amount of jewelry, which she disposed of and by some means managed to elude detection and leave the country, accompanied by her lover. The twain went to London, thence to India. ‘When the fact of her fight w chase again g in excitement George ney.

Curious Facts Concerning the Visit of Em- press Frederick to Athens Paris Letter in London Truth. ‘The Empress Frederick's last visit to Athens was, it appears, brought to a close sooner than she bad intended. Whenever the King of Greece went to Potsdam or to Berlin he had to pay his shot. He was told that the expenses of the royal and imperial family were calculated at so much ahead each, and that guests paid in the same propeetion. The rule was appliea even to his son after he was betrothed to the Princess Sophia. But when the court of Berlin came to Athens for the wedding they paid noth- tainment bills was Frederick for herself raw that her soj began to grumb medieval say long one they 8 quoted the selves at hor them. me in rs on the go. to this strain. 1 men broke all bou nian official tc bustle and of the stable- King George (an Athe-| ot very tired of ail the nthe empress had at Epirus, word was that an English vessel was to from Malta to Patras to her and the Princess Mar- Naples, Trieste, or any other part go to on her homeward journey.

His menus plaisirs only cost him bracelets and brooches, azd that chiefly when he comes to France. The queen devotes her large fortune to her children and to the relief of the poor. She is ina quite un- ostentatious and simple manner a sister of char- ity. While the king attends to private and public business she goes around to hospitals and to visit sick and suifering persons, some of whom may be personal friends, strangers at Athens, or poor creatures. She says tha if she ever had @ vocation for anything it is for hos- pital work. The Greeks hars no respect for royalty as such and know nothing of aristocracy, but they love and revere their generous-hearted queen and have adopted all her children. The day on which ber daughter Alexandra was leaving a9 0 bride for Russia the population for thirty miles round gathered to the Pireus to sve her off and wish her along and happy life. Tears stood in the eyes of most of the spectators.

Learning to Walk. Peopie sometimes ask at what age can we seat child in s chair; when put him on his legs; how old must he be before we teach him to walk. The answers ure easy, says the Popu- lar Science Monthly. He must not be wade to sit till he has spontaneously sat up in bis bed and has been able to hold his seat. This some- times happens in the sixth or seventh raonth, sometimes later. The sitting posture is not without danger, even when he takes it himself. Impesed prematurely upon him, it tires the backbone and may interfere with the growth; 80 the child should never be taught to stand or towaik. That is his affair, not ours. Plece him on = carpet in healthy room or in the open air, and let him play in freedom, roll, try to go ahead on his hands or feet, or go back- | ward, which he will do more successfully at | first.

From the Chicago News. His necktie was worth $20,000. A plain, black, ordinary looking, every-day four-in- hand, but worth $20,000. He was a traveler who had just come in on the Santa Fe route di- rect from Arizona, and he removed his coat and vest preparatory to cleaning his cinder- speckled face.in the lavatory of a prominent Michigan avenue hotel. With the carelessness of a western man he flung his coat and vest on a contiguous chair, but his necktie, his four-in-hand, he carefully rolled up in a small compass and thrust deep into his trousers pocket. This unusual exhibition of caution excited the curiosity of a friend, and the natural query, “Wherefore?” developed a most in- genious device. “That necktie is worth just $20,000, plus the cost price of the article itself.

Seen by an American Observer While She ‘Was Variously Engaged. There was an American sparkle in the Lon- don atmosphere, says a London correspondent of the New York Sun. The afternoon was so fine that I took dash through Hyde Park. I was skirting along the path immediately out- side the Kensington Gardens, which adjoin the park, when my attention was attracted by mounted policeman, who seemed in great distress. He had galloped up alongside of » watering cart that was leisurely sprinkling the drive and was shouting to the driver to shut off the water and draw to one side. Naturally enough the driver was slow to understand why he was interfered with in this summary man- ner, and he neither stopped th water of his cart nor pulled his horse to one side. “Hout of the road,” cried the er majesty comes be'ind.” and with these words he caught the sprinkling cart horse by the bridle and pulled him as well as he could out of way. Then a lai landau drawn by four horses, on which rode pou pace § swiftly along road. box the carriage sat two men, two more sat behind, while in front, on both sides and in the rear rode a dozen grooms on horseback.

This was the way Victoria, queen of the Eng- lish, took a quiet afternoon's drive. She was by the side of her daughter, Princess Beatrice, while two ladies-in-waiting sat on the seat in front of her. The confusion caused by the ob- struction of the watering cart was noticed by Mhile a ewitt look of apprehension passed over her features. One of the equerries leaned for- ward, and, removing his hat, informed her that there was nothing to fear, whereat her majesty settled back among her cushions and became her placid self Gm 5 ‘As the cavalcade swept round into the drive, the man with the $20,000 necktie gave it a final twist as he tied it around his collar, slipped on his vest and coat, and walked out, serene and secure with twenty £1,000 bills snugly hid away in his queer safety-deposit vault. ee An Anecdote of Sheridan. From the Concord (N. H.) Monitor. Gen. Phil. Sheridan’s voice was as soft, mu- sical and tender as that of a woman, and when mention was made of the fact at the encamp- ment of the New Hampshire volunteers at the Weirs a few years ago he said he had heard al- Insion to it before. When he was stationed in Chicago he was accustomed, he said, to go fish- ing up in Wisconsin in the spring ‘and early summer, enjoying himself hugely, especially when he struck a trout brook. He was always accompanied by several of his staff and a num. ber of orderlies, taking a complete outfit and camping as their fancy led them. One morning, while on the bank of a trout brook, he got up early and taking his line and rod fished along the bank, meeting with such good success that he hated to turn back. of a sudden it occurred to him that if the man who owned the field through which the water ran saw him trampling the grass down he would give him a Scotch blessing, and lo and behold! while this thought was on his mind, should he see approaching but the individual in question, as was evident from the inde- pendent air, the seythe on hie shoulder and the surly look on his face. ‘The general was equal to the occasion, however. In his pocket was a. flask of choice brandy, resented by a friend in Chicago. Ina twink: jing and before the farmer had ti he had the bottle out, and sai ing, uncie, won't you’ smil sponded promptly, saying: do,” and putting it to his the brandy.

At the recollection of the event the general laughed musically and said: “Just think, boys, of the idea of a corps commander's voice being heard by his men on a battlefield,” and he laughed again and again at the absurdity of the notion.

The queen had come down from Windsor to receive the girl debutantes and the matrons hitherto unpresented at Buck- ingham palace. On the day of the drawing room she met less than half of the company, giving way to the Princess of Wales and going out for her regular drive, which she is not will- ing to miss, even tocomply with the usual royal functions. "It was certainly somewhat para- doxical that, while a long line of splendidly at- tired women was going through the torturo ordeal of being presented to the queen, the queen herself was spinning round Hyde Park, her mind occupied by the picture of spring= time promise spread about her, and oblivious, no doubt, of the uncomfortable throng that her obliging daughter-in-law was welcoming by proxy. THE PRINCESS BEATRICE. If her majesty is a red-faced and somewhat dowdy old lady of a not highly cultured type, her daughter, the Princess Beatrice, does great honor to the purity of blood that is supposed to flow in royal veins, and the august mother may point to her with pride and say that it was not necessary for her (the queen) to have granddaughters to show that the line of beauty was by no means obsolete in the — of Guelph. Princess Beatrice possesses one of the purest, best-modeled and sweetest faces I have seen in England. The poise of the head, the fineness of the features, the soft expression of the eyes and the tender smile combine to create an effect that can only be associated with women of queenly character. She is high-bred to her finger that is evident at a glance, and, unless all indications are deceptive, she is as pure and modest in heart as she is lovely of mien. Beatrice is the queen’s youngest daughter and is thirty-three years old. Like all the younger children of monarchs, she has been kept in the background during the greater part of her life, and it was not until she ce Henry of Battenberg, six years ago, that the public be- came acquainted with her. Her marriage with Battenberg has not brought any prestige to her. For some reason that young man is not re- garded with much respect by the English le, and is generally ridiculed in all the public prints whenever he performs an official act in is capacity as son-in-law-in-waiting to her majesty. The queen being especially attached to her youngest daughter, has her with her a great part of the time, and Battenberg. as hus- band, is permitted to linger near. ‘This Ger- man prince, who is in such public disfavor, is aslender young man, with a delicate and not altogether ppy countenance that is adorned by a pretty little pointed beard. In appear- ance be is fon 4 the inferior of his hand- some wife, and,as I saw him this week with the royal party at the horse show, he seemed quite destitute of that perfec that savoir faire, without which royalty misses its first characteristic.

The condition of grest-grandmothershi is such an old story to the queen that. the antici. pation now agitating the house of Fife has not very much excitement in it for her. Her en- terprising young grandson, the Emperor of Germany, conferred the additional title upon his serene grandmother some years ago and has strengthened it with great regularity on several subsequent occasions. There is no sentiment, however, existing in England for the little German great-grandchildren, and the Duchess of Fife will have the gratification that she deserves—of delighting the nation with a royal child of the fourth generation.

The officials of the burean of engraving and Printing at Washington not long ago received from the cashier of the First Natinal Bank at Washington, N.J., a bank note of two denomi- nations. By some remarkable mistake the face of the note contained the figuresand devices of ‘8 $20 bill, while the reverse was that of a $10 national bank note. With the curiosity the cashier of the bank of Washington, N. J., sent a rather sarcastic note, intimating that his bank was not going into the freak business, and adding that as the note had been counted as a twenty-dollar bill he would thank the Treasury Department to send ‘m place of ita bill of that denomination about which there could be no question. Upon receiving the letter and inclosure the if of the Duresu bt engraving avd priniing, el yureau of engraving and printing, to haves searching investigation made. Get, Meredith was at first alarmed at the evidence of some glaring oversight on the part of some of his subordinates, ‘The bureau of engraving and printing has always been considered a marvel of perfect surveillance and continued check and counter check on every little detail. In all ite it has never lost by theft a single note and a mistake of the nature described was considered among the impossibilities. The mistake having occurred in oneinstance, however, Gen. Meredith feared that it might have been ted in others. All bank notes ‘are printed in blocks of four on one sheet and so that there are always 1,000 notes worked off at one Brinting. ‘The thought occurred to the chief that per- haps the entire last issue of tens and twenties for the New Jersey bank was made up of the itr vestigation ited with vi; in ‘was prosecu: . id at last the cause of the trouble wan phn oil ered. It appears that in printing the tens and twenties the four notes struck off at one time ot ail of the same denomination. There ways three of one kind and the fourth of another; in this instance three tens and one twenty. ‘The plate printers were examined, and one of them recollected that when the particular notes were being printed one sheet of three tens and one twenty, after having been printed on one side only, had fallen to the floor. ‘The explanation of the misprint was then easy. The assistant pressman who picked up the sheet had misplaced it on the bundle. When the second impression was made on the face of the twenty was printed the reverse of the ten, and vice versa; the face of one of the three tens was backed by the reverse of the twenty; hence there were two ten-twenties in the lot. It was some months after the detection of the mistake that the mate to the note was discov- ered. It turned up in Newark, N. J., after hav- ing been in «irculation for some time. It was ee into the office of the Mutual Benefit Lii Insurance Company, and is now in the sion of Mr. Howard Bailey of Newark, who has refused to part with it at any price. ————— es ____ Turning Over a New Leaf, ‘From the Chicago Herald. Smith and Brown were coming into the city on one of the suburban trains one afternoon re- cently. All the seats in the car were occupied when two ladies entered. Smith immediately vacated his seat and offered it to one of the ladies and Brown followed his example, but looked at him in a wondering, bewildered sort ofaway. “Er—you haven't always been in the habit of giving up your seat to the ladies, have you?” asked Brown, as they stood at the end of the car. “Well, no, Tha’ },”” answered Smith. “In fact, it is quite a recent matter with me and dates back to last Tuesday.

From the Homemaker. ‘The young woman possessed of a money-mak- ing talent, who has still no real necessity for earn- ing money, is often troubled by the question, “To what extent am I justified in making use of this talent in competition with other young women who are more needy than I?” The question is really a dificult one to answer. Should it be said that no woman ought to enter into any remunerative occupation unless actu- ally driven to it? An undesirable eleemosynary element would be introduced into the consider- ation of a woman's fitness fora given position— the most needy to be served first. In time the ‘matter will doubtless adjust it- self. At present one not infrequently hears wonder expressed that a woman is teaching or writing. “She does not need to,” the critics say. ‘a general thing the woman with an in- come sufticient for the comforts and luxuries of life will find avenues for the employmentof her time that will not be directly wage earning; but if she enters on an active career she should be ‘as free from criticism as under similar condi- tions a man would be.
