WHY SOME WOMEN FELL IN LOVE
WITH THEIR HUSBANDS.

If there is one question more than
another to which it Is difficult to get or
give a satisfactory answer it Is surely
this: "Why did you fall In love with
your husband?" In 19 cases out of 20
woman would probably confess candid
ly that she did uot know or else she
would declare conclusively that she
did because she did, and that ought to
end the matter.
In the rare cases where the lady con
descends to declare her reason the an
swers are both interesting and in
structive.
"Whatever made you marry the pris
oner?" a I.ondou magistrate asked a
tvoinan whose face bore "striking" evi
dence of her husband's affection. "Be
cause he punched all the other fellows'
heads," she answered, "and nobody
else dared make love to me."
Another good lady confessed that she
fell in love with her husband because
he was the "only man who ever dared
to snub her." While other men were
stumbling over each other to pay her
court and attention, he always treated
her with absolute indifference and even
rudeness.
The consequence was that she de- j
termined to bring him to Jior feet and
his knees. She succeeded, but lost her
heart In the attempt.
"I fell In love with my husband,"
one lady recently declared, "because
he was the only man about whom no j
one was ever heard to say an unkind j
word. Even the women, although he
paid them no special attention, were '
agreed that he was 'a darling;' and, al- j
though he was plain, almost to ugli- (
ness, and old enough almost to be my j
father, I loved him and determined to I
marry him long before he had any
such thought of me."
Not long ago a Yorkshire lady of
wealth and beauty shocked her friends
by marrying a poor cripple. It bad
come to ber ears that be bad long lov
ed her in silence and had counted each
Jay happy if lie only caught a distant
glimpse of her. She discovered that
ie was a devoted son and brother and
i man of unusual gifts and culture for
ds bumble position, and, moved by
>ne of those sudden, generous im
•ulses to which some women are 11a
■le, she sought an Interview with him,
old him that she bad learned his sc
ret ami offered him ber band and for
une. This may appear a strange and
iiprobabie tiling, but thousands know
mt it is literally true.
Another lady whose marriage result
i from a similar Impulse gives this
tplanation of it. Among the friends
! her family was an old bachelor with
reputation for crustiness who had
sown her from a child and bad often
irsed her iu early days. To ber be
id always been gentle and kind, and
ie bad loved him "iu a way" as long
she could remember.
One day she said, "Why have you
•ver married, Mr. ?"
"Marry, my dear? Why, no one
auld ever marry a grumpy old man
.e me!"
'Of course they would!" she answer-
Indignantly. "Why, I would marry
u myself!"
'Thank you, my dear!" came the un
pected answer. "Then we'll consider
; matter ended."
n spite of her surprise and misglv
;s the girl loyally kept her promise,
1 she lias never bad reason to regret
• "moment's Indiscretion."

tliat he was an avowed woman

stantly that, as she says,"l vowed

nge his mind, at least so far as one
my sex was concerned." lie was
difficult to convert, for within 12

MRS. ALLIEN AT RANCOCAS.
She linn Taken 3'on* en n lon of the
l.orilinrtl Farm ui Jol»»to*vn.
I The fate of Kancocas is shrouded in
as much mystery as ever, says the New
York Journal. Whether Mrs. Lillian
Barnes Allien, who is now in posses
; sion. will continue at the helm or not
,is unknown. She has posted pickets
land sentinels at every gateway and no
j vtie is allowed inside the grounds. She
I sees no one, and has issued orders that
i no person be allowed to enter the sa
! cred precincts of the famous stud farm.
I Dr. It. W. Carter, who lias managed
Kancocas for several years, has charge
of the outposts, which are re-enforced
by several vicious looking dogs. Speak
ing for Mrs. Allien, he said:
"No one knows what Mrs. Allien in
tends to do with Kancocas. I do uot,
and I doubt if she has as yet given
the question serious thought. She re
mains In strict seclusion, it is her wish
to have quiet and rest, and the orders
she has issued to that effect will lie
i faithfully carried out by the employees
I of this place.'.'
The natives of Jobstowu have uot
yet got over their surprise at Mrs.
Allien's sudden occupation of Kanco
cas. They had hoped that I'ierre Loril
lard, Jr., would have succeeded ids
father as the master of the place. They
want to see the social prestige of the
place revived and are never tired of
talking of the days when Mrs. Pierre
Lorillard was the hostess.
Since Mrs. Lorillard left Kancocas
and Mrs. Allien was installed as its
mistress the place lias been dead so
cially. The drives near and around It
have been deserted. It looks as if it
has been unoccupied for years. The
fences need renewing, and even the
boards cautioning trespassers are faded
and almost illegible. It will cost a for
tune to restore the place to its former
condition and will take a large income
to keep it up when it is in repair.
Jenny I.ind'* llnet With Webster.
Jenny Liud visited Washington during
the winter of IHSI and sang in concert to
a delighted audience. It chanced thut on
the evening of her appearance several
members of the cabinet and senate were
the guests at dinner of Bodiaco, the itus
sian minister, aud the concert was half
over when Webster and the other mem
bers of the part}- entered the hall.
After the applause which greeted their
appearance had subsided the second part
of the concert was opened by Miss IJnd
with "Hail, Columbia." Webster, deeply
moved by this patriotic air, arose at the
close of the first verse aud added his rich,
sonorous voice to the chorus. Without
avail, his wife, who sat behind him, pull
ed at his coattail to make him sit down
or stop siuging. The volunteer basso join
ed in at the close of each verse, aud none
could tell whether Lind, Webster or the
audience was most delighted.
As the last notes of the song died away |
Webster arose, hat in hund, and made a '
profound bow to the singer. Jenny Lind, I
blushing at the honor, courtesied to the j
floor, while the audience applauded to the j
echo. Webster, not to be outdone in po- |
liteness, bowed again; Lind recourtesied,
the house again applauded, and this was I
repeated nine times.—Philadelphia Satur- '
day Evening Post.
A Great Traveler.
Miss Jessie Ackerman, the world's or- !
ganizer for the Women's Christian Teni- j
perance union, is regarded as one of the
greatest women travelers living. She has
gone around the globe twice and has been
in nearly every known country, and the
immense sum needed to defray the ex- |
penses of these journeys has been raised
by her own efforts. Miss Ackerman has
organized societies and held meetings in
Alaska, Australia, China, Egypt, Iceland,
India, Japan. Malaysia, the Philippines,
Pulestine, Siam, Tasmania and the
Transvaal. Her most startling experi
ence, however, was not gained in the line
of duty, she suys, but in satisfying the !
spirit of adventure. At the great pearl
fisheries between Australia and Java a
fleet of pearling ships and an army of
divers are always at work, aud Miss
Ackerman expressi ! i desire t<» visit the
bed of the ocean. Accordingly she was |
locked in a diver's suit and began to de- ,
scend, but the air had not been sufficiently
exhausted in the diving hell,and she found
herself going down headforemost. She j
hail the presence of mind to pull the sig- |
nal cord vigorously and was drawn to the
surface with all possible speed.
An h'-vu Shninpoo.
An exchange gives the following direc
tions for au egg shampoo: Separate the
white and yolk nnd bent each with a ta
blespootiful 'if water until thoroughly
mixed. First ruli the yolk into the scalp
and then the white of the egg. lUnse
with tepid water and finish with cold.
Never take hot water after an egg sham
poo. If the hair is brittle and harsh, the
yolk only may be used. Better results
are obtained by the use <>f the white only
when the hair is excessively oily. When
the hair is dry and lifeless, a slight oiling
of the scalp after the bath is permissible.
Great care must be taken that the fatty
matter is sweet and pure. For this rea
son vegetable oil is best. Cocoanut oil is
safest for general use. If the scalp is
tense and dry, a composition of one-third
lanoline and two-thirds carbolated vase
line warmed and beaten together may be
applied with benefit. As before stated, it
is the exception where atiy oil application
is necessary. With.proper care, uiassuge
and cleanliness the glands about the root
of each hair will do their part.

ARTIFICIAL GEMS.
Glssn That Shinoit V.lke DiHinontU,
hut Lone* I.Uttter,
To meet the growing demand for arti
ficial jewelry the process of making
"precious stones" has been greatly im
proved within the last few years, aud
its further development has enlisted
the services of some of the most skill
| ful chemists.
The material chiefly used is glass, but
it is not the ordinary glass of com
! meree. It is prepared with the greatest
care by highly skilled artisans, for up
on its clearness and perfect homoge
neity depends the quality of the imita
tiou gems, which are far superior to the
j cheap grade of counterfeits that rely
on silver backings for their luster.
The glass can only be made from ab
solutely pure quartz or, better still,
from rock crystal, as quartz frequently
contains minute veins of iron which
would impair the clearness aud color of
the glass. The bicarbonate of potash
i and the oxide of lead which are mixed
! with it must also be chemically pure.
1 Other ingredients of less importance
I are borax, which promotes the llux,
I and a small quantity of arsenic.
The best glass for imitation gems
| consists of rock crystal, 32 per cent; bl
| carbonate of potash, 17 per cent; oxide
j of lead, 50 per cent; borax, 1 per cent,
| aud a trace of arsenic. Carefully pre-
I pared by competent hands, this tnix
] ture produces a grade of glass which
I in brilliancy and iridescence yields lit
-1 tie to the genuine diamond itself, aud
j these qualities may lie further enhanc
i ed by the substitution of potassium for
tlie bicarbonate of potash aud an in
crease of the quantity of oxide of lead
: us; «i.
Stones carefully made by this process
; can only lie distinguished from the gen
] unie by experts. This is true, however,
j only so long as they are new, for imita
| tion gems wear off, become blind and
lose their lire with aire, and it is to rem- j
edy these defects that the efforts of I
I chemists are now directed.
Opaque gems, like the turquoise and |
j the opal, are made from glass whose
] transparency is destroyed by the addi- 112
tion of oxide of zinc after pulveriza- I
j tion. The color of the turquoise is pro- 1
duced by means of oxide of copper and
' cobalt.—Chicago Times-Herald.
A Reluctant Candidate.
During a local election in a German
town only one man appeared at the
nomination desk.
"Whom do you nominate?" inquired
the official.
"Myself!" was the answer.
"I)o you accept the nomination?"
"Well, no."
The otlicer laughed and said:
"Then we must try ngaiu. Whom do
you nominate?"
"Myself:"
"You accept the nomination?"
"No."
A subdued "donnerwetter!" escaped |
the lips of the perplexed official, but he
went on:
"For the third time—whom do you !
nominate?"
"Myself!" same the Invariable reply. (
"Do you accept the nomination?"
The man rose up, and a smile of I
satisfaction spread over his face as he '
answered proudly:
"Having been three times solicited j
by my fellow citizens to accept the j
nomination, I can no longer decline to i
accede to their wishes." lie then re- j
tired.—Tit-Bits.
Orljcin of "a Horn."
A western man at a fashionable bar
In New York called for a horn and
then had t<> tell tlie drink mixer that
it was whisky lie wanted before he got
his order filled.
"Curious," commented the western
er, "how people in the east can't under
stand plain English. Anybody down
in Kentucky knows what 'a horn' is
and how it got its name."
"How did it get its name?" inquired
a bystander.
"Well, along about 100 years ago the
first distillery ever established in Ten
nessee was set up in Davidson county.
It was called the Red Heifer, and the
customers who assembled at the still,
especially on Saturday afternoon, to
drink and gamble, got In the liabit of
speaking of a dram as 'a horn of the
heifer.' As Tennessee was the first
state to be settled west of the Alle
ghanies the phrase spread all over the
west and southwest, finally being con
tracted into the single word 'horn.'

Alphabetical AhaNr.
The prosecuting attorney In a law
suit had waxed especially indignant at
the defendant, whom he characterized
as an "abandoned, baneful, cynical,
diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy,
hateful, irresponsible. Jaundiced, knav
ish. lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outra
geous and profligate rowdy."
"The learned counsel on the other
side," said the attorney for the defend
ant when he rose to reply, "should
have put his adjectives In a hat and
shaken them up a little before using.
You must have noticed, gentlemen of
the Jury, that they were in regular al
phabetical order. This shows that he
selected tliem from a dictionary, be
ginning with 'a.' He stopped at 'p,'
but in his manner of reproducing them
he has given us the 'cue* as to how he
got them."
This turned the laugh against the
other lawyer, and he hist the case.
A Bright Jury•
In a larceny case in Maine it was
agreed togo on with only 11 men on
the jury. The trial lasted several
hours, and then the jury retired to
deliberate upon the evidence and find
>i verdict. After being out four hours
the jury reported that it could not
agree, and accordingly it was dis
charged from further duty in the case,
and the prisoner was remanded to the
Jail. A little later the attorneys for the
respondent "got at" one of the Jury
men and asked him how the vote stood
in the jury room.
"Well," said lie, "we balloted about
20 times, and each time there were 11
votes for conviction, but at no timo
could we tret 12 votes for conviction, so
we bad to report a disagreement."

WILLARD STATUE SKETCH.
Mis* Menrn' Conception In Lifelike
mid ruli of Vl^or.
The sketch with which Miss
Mears of Oshkosh, Wis., has won the,
honor of making the Willard statue is
the result of nearly a year of labor,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. It is
small, being only 10 inches high, the
total height, including the base, being
only two feet. It is remarkably per
fect in detail for so small a figure and
gave the committee such a clear idea \
of what the finished marble model j
would be that Miss Mears was instruct
ed to point up her final work from the
sketch. [
The sketch represents Miss Willard
in one of her famous attitudes. She is
standing perfectly upright, in a nat
ural and graceful position One arm |
i> slightly extended, and the hand rests
upon a reading table or ecclesiastical!
stand, while the other arm is at the
side, with a roll of manuscript in ttie 1
hand. The head is thrown back slight
ly, as if Miss Willard was about to :
survey an audience. The face has a;
spiritual look, and the mouth reveals j
a smile half sad, half pleasant. So
truthfully did the sculptor portray the j
combination of vigor and strength and j
spiritual shading in the face that many |
of the intimate friends of the late
Miss Willard have wept upon gazing
on the sketch.
Although Miss Mears never saw Miss
Willard, her work being done entirely J
from photographs and personal de-!
scriptions of friends, it is said that her j
production is more nearly like the,
great advocate of temperance than any \
of the latter's photographs.

1 Making Characters—not Money i
SWhen Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded, money 0
making was not in the thought of its promoters. To give young A

lowest possible cost was its paramount aim. It remains its para- 0
0 mount aim. Buildings have been added, equipment increased, 0
0 the faculty enlarged, but the school is true lo its first principles. |

Ah One of the Fiimlly,
"I understand that there are hundreds
and hundreds of young and middle aged
women in the large cities who are out of
j employment and likely to remain so un
less they change their point of view and
instead of seeking hopelessly positions al
ready crowded turn their energies where
they will always lie needed," says a New
York society woman. "As most of them
have seen better days, are fairly well ed
ucated and have had some experience I
ask if it would he beneath their self re
spect to take positions iu the homes <if
others as home helpers? That is, to help
j with children and housework, without
| being considered servants and without
losing their social position. 1 know the
position is a delicate one, but having tried
the experiment successfully for over ten
• years I feel justified in giving an opinion.
"In the ten years I had four compan
ions or home helpers of different ages and
j experience, but they were all well born,
I well educated and of good principles.
Having six children, I preferred having
; them intimately associated with a refined
and responsible person instead of the or
i dinary irresponsible nurse.
"The home helper was treated like my
own sister iu being on a perfect equality
! with the family, and I always found her
| willing to do whatever had to be done,
oven cooking and dishwashing when I
happened to be without a cook. Of
! course I always worked with her and
! never expected her to do what I would
i not do myself. The golden rule is a good
guide to follow aud seems particularly
titted for domestic complications.
"I ask all overburdened mothers," adds
the New York woman, "all disappointed
women without employment, to consider
this question of home helpers and see if
they cannot make it practicable."—New
York Journal.
