Sgfßrami WILL MARRY A PRINCE. Denutiful Hnltimore <• Ir 1 to Become tlir llriilc ol lite Kotirth .Sou of the lvlttK of Sweden, ' N'cws has been received from Paris of the engagement of Helen Gorman i Wild, of Haltimore, and l'rince Eu- ; gi-ne of Sweden, fourth son of the king of Sweden and Norway, and j hitherto regarded as a possible heir to the throne. Miss Wild, a beautiful woman, is related to the famous Carroll family of Baltimore. She is a devout Cath- ; olic, while the royal family of Sweden ! is Protestant. She is an heiress in her own right and is well known in society in Haltimore, New York and Philadelphia. At first King Oscar objected strenu ously to the match, principally 011 the ground of the young woman's re ligion. in the annals of Sweden there is not a single instance of an alliance of a scion of royal blood with a Catholic. Perhaps in 110 country in Europe is Protestantism so strongly intrenched as in Sweden, and when the romantic marriage of l'rince Eu gene was broached its possibility was laughed at by the court entour age. By his marriage Prince Eugene will resign all right to the throne, Catholic influence near the Swedish crown being regarded as out of the question, and the sacrifice of a possi ble throne for love invests the match with a more than usual interest. The present wearer of the Swedish crown had for one of his predecessors Gus tavus Adolplius, the "Lion of the North," and the defender of the Protestant faith. At first, it is said, King Oscar flouted the possibility of an alliance between his son and r.n American Catholic. The ardent lover was given to understand that the marriage was out of the question, and was warned that if he persisted be would have to renounce till royal rights. Tt seems, however, that Prince Eu gene hail a potent ally in the queen, liis mother, and through her influ- S jr. W ////■'-' / / / / ''// HELEN' GORMAN WILD. enee the king was won over. She persuaded the monarch to consent to the match, urging that her son had 6et his heart upon it and that to pre vent it might be followed by serious consequences. It is said thai the queen has determined to divide ' immense fortune 000 be- V l ?;-n Tier two sons, Bernadotte and Eugene. Miss Wild's fortune is large. She will be the second beautiful Baltimorean to win a royal husband, the other being, of course, Miss Pat terson, who married Jerome Bona parte, brother of Napoleon I. In this connection, however, it is interesting to recall the fact that Prince Eugene of Sweden is a descendant of one of Napoleon's marshals, the famous Bernadotte, founder of the present royal house of Sweden. Eugene of Sweden is one of the most interesting princes in Europe. Those who have followed his career are not surprised to bear of the ro mantic match, lie is a handsome young fellow, highly educated and of artistic temperament. He has no fads or vices, and from his youth has been attracted toward serious and artistic pursflits. The wedding, which will take place coon, will lie a private affair. It, will be celebrated in a little Catholic church in Paris, in the Latin quarter, where the pair have been accustomed to attend service together. The cer emony will b» attended by intimate friends of the pair, the king having expressed the desire that the mar riage be celebrated as quietly as pos sible. —Philadelphia Press. The Edsei of the Carpet. It is the part of wisdom to examine the edges of the carpet often in the spring. If the carpet is not to be taken from the floor remove the tacks, turn back a half yard all around the room, wipe the floor and spray with benzine in the cracks or use a little carbolic acid in the water. Then replace the carpet, cover with a damp sheet and iron with a hot flatiron. This will pro duce sufficient heat to destroy both the moths and all their larvae. Ilimliandly Apprehension, Mis.

MlKtrt'NN of the ItuticH nnd I'rime MlitlNtcr to the tlueeii ol' Elite land. Few people liave been busier in Lon* j don if late than the stately dame who is duchess of liuccleuch. As mistress I of the robes she has had her hands | about full for some time with the | care of Queen Alexandra's wardrobe, ' not only for the coronation cermonies next June, but also for the scries of I evening "drawing rooms" to be given J by the king and queen during the year. | She is a sort of prime minister for the | queen. The duchess of B'lecleueh is one of the greatest ladies ill the kingdom. She V«h MSB lpppp^^ s DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUGH. was three times mistress of the robes under Queen Victoria, and was "eon t in j ued in office" by the present queen when she came to the throne. As the I holder of this exalted position the j duchess has authority over the ladies ] of the bedchamber and maids of honor. Her duties as head of this illustrious j staff promise, however, to be less oner ! ous under Queen Alexandra than under I tlite late queen, fur whereas Queen , j Victoria always insisted on being ac j companied in all her movements by a perfect swarm of titled lady attend ants. her successor dispenses with the 1 services of the maids of honor, eon* j tenting herself with the society of her friend, Miss Knollys. BEGINNING HER CAREER. How it fJIrl Shonltl I'ns* (lie Inlrrrat. liiß' I'erlud tin* School room a iml Altar. When a girl begins iier social career, j after completing her education, she | finds the world far different from what j she expected. The schoolroom is one | thing, the world another. She may ! have been popular with her teachers, i because she was a diligent scholar, and ! carried off the honors of the school. | Hut she finds that book knowledge does j nut make her popular or successful so j cialiy. Some of the most intellectual I people we have known have been j among the most disagreeable. A worn j an whose nature is aggressive, who parades her knowledge before those | of inferior education, is an object to Ibe dreaded. Mere learning in a worn* | an is never attractive. It is, on the j contrary, offensive, unless coupled with feminine graces. School learn ing should sink into the character and deportment, and only exhibit itself as | the perfume of a flower is exhibited— in a subtle, natnele.-s, and unobtrusive manner. A woman's intellectual ac quirements should not make her talk like an orator in daily life—they should simply make lie-r conversation gracious and agreeable. Mathematics should ren der her mind clear and her judgments true; her geographical studies slioi'ld ! teach her that the world is too snail for falseness to firnl n hiding-place; and history should impress her that life is too s.liort for unworthy ambi tions. The time between the school room and the altar should not be a j mere harvest-time of pleasure, but a sowing time for all the seeds of kind ness ant' lineraL NOT NARCOTIC. /itapt of CM ]}rSAMUEL PITCHER 112?

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Being a mother of five children I have had experience with the general troubles of my sex. I was lacerated when one of my children was born and from that hour I date all my afflictions. I found that within a few months my health was impaired, I had female weakness and serious inflammation and frequent flooding. I became weak and dizzy but kept on my feet, dragging through my work without life or pleasure. A neighbor who had been helped by taking Lydia E. Pinkham'ft Vegetable Compound insisted that I take at least one bottle. I did so and. felt so much better that I kept on the treatment. For seven months I used the Compound faithfully and gladly do I say it, health and strength are mine once more. I know how to value it now when it was so nearly lost, and I -appreciate how great a debt I owe you. The few dollars I spent for the medicine cannot begin to pay what it was worth to me. Yours very truly, MRS. ANNA MCKAY, Chaplain Sons of Temperance." SSOOO FORFAIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
