Hot water has far more medical virtues than many believe or know. Because it is so easily procured, thousands think it valueless. The uses of hot water are, however, many. For example, there is no- thing that .so quickly cuts short con- gestion of the lungs, sore throat, or rheumatism as hot water when ap- plied promptly and thoroughly. â- Headache almost always yield.s to the simultaneous application of hot .water to the feet and the back of the neck. A towel folded .several times and dipped in hot water, quickly â- wrung out, and applied over the painful part in toothache or neu- rangia, will generally alTord prompt relief. A strip of flannel or napkin folded hngthwiso, dipped in hot Water and wrtmg out, and then a])- f)lied round the nock of a child that has file croup, will sometimes bring ndief in a f«'^ minutes. A goblet of hot water taken just before rising, before breakfast, has cured thou- Bands of indigestion, and no simple remedy is more widely recommended by physicians to dyspeptics. Very- hot water will stop dangerous bleeding. EOYAL LOVE SjCENES. Soma Pretty Scenes of Historic Wooings. lloyal courtships are usually vo'^y ciit-an-dried alTairs. It is theref.ire delightful t6 find in Some of theru even the slightest trace of the ro- mantic. It is seldom a king has the hard'- hood to oppo.'-'e his ministers in thj choice of a wife. Yet the father of the present King of Spain did so, j and that, too, at a tinve when Spain was in a very unsettled state. His ndnlsters took an early opportunity to suggest marriage to Alfonso XTT. The young King declared himself willing, and named his cousin llii- cedcs, daughter of the Duke of Mont- pensier, as the lady he intended t.i marry. The Ministers were horrified; the King's relatives were furious. The reason was that Montpensier's money and ambition had helped the revol i- tion which dethroned Alfonso s i mother. Isabella II. But the King and Mercedes had fallen in love with each other, and all protests were ^n vain. But, alas! in six short montlia Mercedes was in her tomb, leavin;.? Alfonso a broken-hearted widower. Perhaps the most romantic Uoyjl wooing was that of the late Empress oi Austria. Francis Joseph went ;o stay with Duke Mnxiinjlian of Bavar- ia, to celebrate his betrothal with the Duke's eldest daughter, llelene. Soon after his arrival, the younj; Emperor was walking in the puDi, when ho met Holene's younger sistei". Elizabeth. She greeted him with: ""God guard you, cousinl" and im- pulsively flung her arms round his neck . The Emperor promptly fell deeply in love with her. His mother gave a ball, to which Elizabeth was inviteil; but, not having made her debut at Court, she had to di'cline. The Em- peror, however, made his own atten- dance conditional on Elizabeth's pre- sence, and insisted that the Princess should bo there. Between the dances ha showed her an album, containing pictures of -'Vustrians in their N-i- tional costumes. "They are my subjects," he told her. "Sa.v one word, and you aha J rvdo them, too." Thii reply was satisfactory. B>it the Duke was furious at the alTront put upon Princess Holene, and hisih wori's passed. At last however, ho reluc- tantly gave his consent. WISDOM'S WHISPEIIS. Some men have the art of keeping quiet without creating the impression they are in ill-temper. A woman thinks a man never should be too much absorbed in his own affairs to be attentive to her. Men play curds as though their en- tire reputation were at stake in the result of the game. Women usually regard an apology from another woman as ojily an c;- cuso to repeat the cause therefor. Men dislike over so much being ac- cused of having anything in the way of personal vanity. Women manage to work up the iilea that their opinions are at all times â- worthy of tho most careful considera- tion. Men sometimes create serious coii> plications through a dispositioti to make frivolous remarks intended to be funny. A woman bacomcs exceedingly irri- table when she thinks a shopkeeper is not giving her orders e.xclusive at- tention. It is easy for a man to convince himself he knows how to settle ellcc- tively a bothersome woman. The Workingrrsan's Tea Should ba Rich, Strong and Full Flavored.

Amongst Ihe many stories that are told in conn.'Ction with .'\InrU Twain there is one that is little Known, but which deserves a place with the best. When th.o famous humorist was married to Miss Langdon. a beauti- ful hou.sc in Bullnlo was given as a weildiiig present to the newly-weilded pair by the bride's father But every bit of information concerning the gift had bcin kept an entire se- cret from tho ImUy bridegroom until at Inst he was being shown through tho brillianlly-lighU-d house, myster- iously filled with kinsmen and friends. Then tho young wife di- vulged the important Bccret. "It's ours." said she, looking up delightedly into hor husbands face. "It's yours and mineâ€" a present from father." The announcement was such that for a moment or two Mark Twain was entirely overcome by the feel- ings which had thus been stirroti within him. All eyes Were turmsl curiously in his dirintion, and then, when he had partly reguiined control, he replied. Vlis eyes were wet with tears and his voice was choking "with emotion, but his thoughts expressed themselves humorously even then. "Mr. Langdon," said he, "when- ever you are in BuiTalo, if it's twice a year, you como right up here and bring your bog along with you. You may stay overnight if you want to. It sha'n't cost you a cent." ASKED FOU HELP. It is perhaps natural that litt'o children should expect their small supplications to be answered literal- ly Wo can sympathize with tho small boy over his sums, who sail to his governess in a puazled, half- indignant Voice: "t can't do my sunvi, I can't; and I did ask God to help mp, and He's mado throe mis- takes already."
