MAKING LOVE TO ICINGS
CRANXi.fi WHO TRY TO WOO
KINGS AND QUEENS.
Foolish Maidens Who hope Some
Day to Marry a
King.
The ono annoyaneo to King Ed-
ward duringduringhis recent visit to Mar-
ienbad was the, persistent attentions
of women whinnies, who crowded
about him whenever he appeared in
the streets, Several of these 1i d to
bo somewhat severely dealt with by
the authorities] and one lady, who
was bent on securing a couvoesation
with his Majesty, bad an enforced in-
terview with a magistrate instead.
Royalty is the peculiar prey of the
feminine crank, and more than ono
private secretary has confessed that
the wouldebo lover is a greater nuis-
ance than tho begging -letter writer,
200 LEITERS TO ' ITE KING.
ltcaders will recall the case of a
woman who gave considerable trou-
ble to the police two years ago by,
her continual annoyance of the King.
Sho ensnared herself to be in love
with his Majesty, and was Ionia the
delusion that she had been onc0mag-
ed. It was found that she had writ-
ten over two hundred letters, as-
sorting her love in passionate terms.
Tho zealous lover is now being cared
for In an asylum.
The young Crown Prince of Ger-
many, whose engagement has just
been aamounced, has been the recip-
ient of hundreds of unwelcome at-
tentions from women in all parts of
the Continent and the United Status.
No fewer then live American ladies
mused announcements of his en-
gagement to them be published.
A. pretty and popular young lady—
Miss Lottio Delver—pair] him consid-
erable attention .during his last
visit to the States. When he return-
ed, she promptly wrote his Royal
Highness letters burning with love,.
and begged him to publicly acicnow-
ledgc her as his betrothed.
SLYTY OFFERS IN ONE DAY.
One prominent journal actually ap-
peared with portraits of the pair
lingcod together with ivy, and under-
neath a picture of the Kaiser sternly
admonishing his son for contracting
a match with a commoner, "1 don't
caro for all the crowns in the world"
the young Prince exclaimed. "X am
going to wed Lottie Delver!"
In one day alone the heir to the
Herman Throne received over sixty
afters of marriage. Then there are
quite a number of pretty damsels to
whom ho has made love. 13e per-
sistently wooed the beautiful Miss
Geraldine Farrar, who was acting at
the llayal Opera iTouse in Berlin.
But the lady would not accept the
Prince's advances, and he had to end
his attentions—a rejected suitor,
LOVES OF A PRINCE,
Miss Gladys Deacon, an American
beauty and heiress, fascinated the
Crown Prince when he came to Eng-
land in 1801 anal paid a round of
visits here. He first met Miss Dea-
con at Blenheim, while staying with
the Duke and Duchess of Marlbor-
ough. Tho friendship is said to
lave ripened so fast that the Prince
proposed before ho returned to Ger-
many; and at every stage of hie
homeward journey sent beautiful plc-
tnre-postcards off to the lady.
Miss Eleanor Dreisel, whom the
Prince met while a student at Bonn,
did not know of his high rank, and
returned 111s affection, But when his'
identity was disclosed' to 'her, she
promptly gave him up, in spite of
his vows and protestations,
Miss Isadore Duncan, a dancer, and
Miss Edyth Walther and Miss Bessie
Abbot, all opera -singers, have, in
turn, fascinated this susceptible

HEALTH
ABDOMINAL P,XI1ROISI:S.
Sfs
A good many persons who lead
r
fairly sensible liras as regards health
eonditions, who eat moderately, sleets
in well -ventilated rooms, and take
sufficient exercise in the open air,
strangely neglect one of the most im-
portant sot of muscles In the entire
body, namely, the abdominal,
it needs but a thought to appreci-
ate how important these muscles are.
In the abdomen we have all the di-
gestive organs, among them the solid
and heavy liver, and to keep thein
in place there is nothing but the n-
teior muscular walls, except the so-
called ligaments, whiclh aro only folds
of he peritoneum, too weak to hold
a heavy weight for a long period.
without strctchiug. There is a good
deal of resistant fibrous tissue in tiffs
wall, it Is true, but that le a life-
less sort of a support, and lacks the
vital resistance of. muscle. When
these lack tone there is more or less
sagging of all the contained organs,
their blood -vessels and nerves are
stretched or displaced and their func-
tions disturbed, Tho entire circula-
tion within the abdomen is affected,
and venous congestion—what the doc-
tors at German spas call "abdomin-
al venosity"—ensues,
At these watering -places the con-
dition is trented by dieting and the
use of thio waters internally and ex-
ternally. Tnese measures give relief
for -a time,-thut only for a time,—
and when the season opens at the spar
the following year, Lho man with the
weak abdominal muscles is hack for
his annual "cure." Par better is it
to strengthen the abdominal muscles,
and so not only banish the trouble
fol• a tune, but 'keen it from return-
ing.
Walking dues little, at least not
enough, for these muscles, and it is
often advisable fur those engaged in
sedentary pursuits to take special
abdominal exorcises. These are of
various kinus, but one simple exer-
cise will answer all the requirements.
It is best taken in the morning be-
fore the bath. With all the clothing
removed to the waist, and with no-
thing tiglit about the waist, lie on
the back on the floor with the feet
snider the rung of a heavy their or
the opened lower drawer of a bureau:
Then with tho arms folded on tho
chest rise slowly to a 'sitting pos-
ture, keeping the back perfectly
straight.; then gradually sink back
again to the supine posture. Take a
deep breath anti repeat. This may be
done live tines at first, the number
being: gradually increased'. Wlien it
con be done without undue effort, the
exercise may be taken with elle hands
clasped under the back of the head,
and finally, with' the arms extended
above the hitail.—Youth's Comlpanion.

THE DRUNKARD'S SERMON.
Translated From the Ref'ormblat-

Probably never a more eloquent ser-
mon against intemperance has been
preached than that to whirl some
time ,ago a number of well-dressed
young gentlemen listened In the snug
of a restaurant in Berlin, Germany,
There a very dissipated -looking vane
bond, with watering eyes, burst open
the door and pleadingly turned his
eyes upon the di'inkersl 'These order-
ed a drink for him, for which they
paid, and then vehemently urged the
man to snake a speech, having
emptied his glass and then started at
the guests for a moment,. ho began

quence which showed but too plainly
how low in had fallen in the social

FASHIONS FROM THE ARMY,
Why the Two Buttons Are Put on
Men's Coat Sleeves,
It is not at all surprising that
many male and female fashions should
lace been borrowed from the Army,
but it is a little odd that one of the
Most generally resognirod patterns
for "gent's sleeves:' should have been
adopted in imitation of military fa-
shion when it was introduced into
the ranks in order to check a 'dis-
agreeable habit then common among
men.
The two buttons which adorn the
culls of most men's sleeves are as.
10asodn'Je0s as anything coned well
be, but they were placed on soldiers'
sleeves to prevent the men using their
cuffs in lieu of llandkorchiefs, as it
was found that the cutis of uniforms
became shabby and soiled long be-
fore the rest of the tunic showed signs
of wear,' Of course, originally the
two buttons introduced as obstacles
to the nose were sewn ou top of the
sleeve, instead of at the seam as
now Worn, and gradually as their
use disappeared they wor'yed farther
round.
How many men—or women either,
for that matter—who wear "spats"
are aware that in so doing they are
paying a compliment to the High-
landers who so distinguished them-
selves at Lucknow' Spats were ori-
ginally worn because the Highland re-
giments at Lucknow wore then, and
so great was the popularity of these
regiments on ar•cOunt of their glori-
ous deeds that men, women, and chil-
dren adopted all sorts of things in
the way of dress in imitation of
Highland uniforms. Among these
things were spats, end, albeit they

ants deliberately bridge the sticky

The cutaway form of the morning -
coat and also tie dress -coat comes
from the Army. Somewhere in the
reign of George IV, the long coat
was introduced into the Army. It
was soon found that the sword hav-
ing to be worn under the coat made
marching uncomfortable and ungainly
and it became trio practice to turn
the ends of the skirt of the coat up
and fasten them behind the back. The
buttons men Have at the back of
their coats survive from this, and
not, as is generally stipposed, from
the "sword -buttons." In time the
long coat Wes curtailed, but the prac-
tice of fastening back the corners of
the skirt remained until the dandies
of the day were inspired by it and
had their coat -skirts cut away till
something like the modern morning -
coat was ,obtained. The:ewenlgavtall
