Lover of Senator Elkins's Daughter IS Hurrying To Italy.

COURT STANDS IN THE WAY. ETIQUETTE MUST BE FOLLOWED BY PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DUKE OF ABRUZZI'S ENGAGEMENT TO AMERICAN GIRL. Rome. March in. The duke of AbruzZi is returning to Rome anording to a jeport in circulation here last night, to obtain the lull consent of Kins Victor Kmmanuel to his marriage with Miss Katherine Klkins. daughter of Senator Stephen B. CI kins of West Virginia. Although eonfirrnat ion of the report, is lacking, t lie fact, that there has been no offiejnl denial given out in Rome and the statement mad at Washington that the duke would again visit. America in the near future seems tn lend considerable weight to it. Should it. lie true that the duke's return to Home at this time is for the purpose of obtaining royal consent to his marriage some announcement on Hie subject is likely to follow his arrival here. Italian court etiquette provides that In the case of (he marriage of any member of the royal family official announcement must be made several weeks in advance of the event by the prefect of police to the reigning houses, the royal princes, members of the diplomatic corpse and high officials of state. The house of Savoy would be lepresented on such an occasion by one of its princes, probably one of the brothers of the duke of Abruzzl. We're sorry if you've tried other medicines find (hoy failed.

Edmund Clarence Stedman. the poetbanker, had a high temper and was exceedingly sensitive. One day, exasperated by the crass stupidity of a servant, he threw a book at his head. The boy ducked, and the book sailed out of the window. After it hurried the menial, but he was too late; a passerby had picked it. up and walked eff with it. Stedman begun to wonder what book he bad thrown away and to his horror discovered that it was a plaint and rare little volume for which he had paid .hO. llis chagrin was intense, as the work was almost unique and the prospects of replacing It were remote. j Some time afterward when browsing in a second hand bookshop our s;!e- ; netie poet-banker perceived to his great i delight a copy of the very book he bad 1 lost. He asked Hie price. "It's very i rare," replied the dealer, ''but as you ! tire an old customer I'll let you have it 1 for t?!r. Nobody else could have it; for less Ihan $0ii." Stedman gladly j paid the ?40, got. home with his treas- ; ure as soon as possible and sat down j to gloat over it. A card dropped out . of the leaves. It was his own. Fur- j ther examination showed that he had : bought back his own property. It cured him of casting books at servants' heads. New York Press. THREE DEADLY AGENTS. Peculiar Properties of a Spider, Grain and a Vine. What is the most terrible form in which death comes? Hero are three. but which one of them is the worst it ! is hard to say: j In Peru and parts of South Australia there is found a small spider about ! half as big as a pea. When this insect digs its fangs into its victim it inserts a poison which begins at once to act. ; It scorches up the blood vessels and i spreads through the tissue, causing most dreadful agony. The worst part j of it is that the victim usually puffers for two days, but death in the end is Inevitable. Another fearful death results from eating "bhat." a vegetable which grows in the east, of which a few grains cause violent mania, ending In 1 death. "Phaf occasionally grows in among the rice crop, from which It is hard to distinguish until dry, when the poisonous grain is of a brick red color. There is a South American vine failed the "knotter,"' which grips any thing tiling coming in contact with it. Its tentacles twine round the object se'zed, searing and burning the fieslt like red hot wires. Then the prey is drawn into the heart of the foliage a tul there crushed to death. The method is too horrible to describe in detail. Pearson's Weekly. j mill at Great Barrington.
