LADY CAMOYS Queen 2 ells Bow Wife Can he Happy Rome, Aug. 26.—The following pre cepts have been drawn up by the Rou manian queen and authoress “Carmen Sylva,” for the guidance of a young ■wife, who would be happy in her home: 1. Never begin a discussion, but, if an explanation is unavoidable, do not yield w'ithout having proved your point. 2. Never forget that you are the wife of a man and not of a superior being; it will make you understand his ■weaknesses. 3. Ek) not ask your husband for money too often. 4. If you discover that your hus band has rather a big heart remember also that he has an appetite. If you at tend to the latter you "will also soon win over the formej*. 5. From time to time, but not over- frequently, allow your husband to have the last word, it will please him and uo you no harm. 6. Read the whole of your newspa per and not only the sensational news, and your husband will enjoy discussing the events of the day and politics with you. 7—Beware of hurting your hus band's feelings, especially if he is sulk ing. S. Pay him an occasional compli- m.ent by telling him that he is the nicest and most attentive of married men. 9. If your husband is over clever land active be a good comrade to him: if he is somewhat heavy be his friend and his counsellor.

London, Auz. 26.—The continued heat ha.s resulted in an ice famine. All the stocks at the East Coast ports are exhausted and urgent demands from London and provincial centres find the merchants unable to meet them.

August 26.—Lord Camoys has departed from the gambling tables here a sadder and wiser man.

Though the Camoys income is small he IS ?- valiant knight cf the green and his advent in the popular summer places was looked upon with no little expectation by the gambling house keepers, the more so as he bears a rep utation as a consistent loser. It took just two days for him to uphold this reputation by going “broke.” London, Aur. 24.—A dread, m.ysterl- ous ‘ something” just now is killing London’s babies by the score. Last week 15S babies died in Lon don compared with 56 the previous week—a treble death rate. The heat and the dust seem to be the main contributory causes of this great rise in infant mortality. Recently at an inquest at St. Luke’s Dr. W. W’ynn Wescott, the coroner, in speaking of the increasing number of deaths of infants from diarrhoea and sickness, said that they were all more or less a mystery. " They could not be due,” he said, “to bad food or heat exhaustion. Ap parently the disease is due to some thing mysterious in the air, to some thing which is carried about by flies.” Making Him Feel At Ease Since -John Hays Hammond jogged the arm Of good King George, alas, alack!

He advised the court to reject Princess Louise's $10,iaa;,000 Cairn against the estate of the late King Leopold and to decide that this property is duly claimed by the Bel gian state. The final judgment, which can/iot be delivered till after the close of v? cation, will undoubtedly carry out the public prosecutor’s advice. Princess Louise’s c^'edltors will alone be disap pointed. Within the last few diys they have taken legal steps to preclude her from receiving the $10,000,000 even had she won her suit, as she owed the whole sum to them. By PHILLIP EVERETT. London. Aug. 26.—Ncvr that parlia ment has adjourned; now that the government has triumphed in its meas ure to curb the power of the lords, and now that sufficient time has elapsed to allow a keen analysis of the posi tion taken by the opposition and the government in the great veto bill fight, England at least a majority of the inhabitants are enjoying the discom fiture of the lords with extreme gusto. The fact is that while the ancient constitution of England has been ban died about betw'een the warring par ties, the parliament bill and its threat of "black-leg peers,” was supremely laughable, for time has uncovered the gigantic game of bluff on which the government jammed its measure down the throats of the aristocracy. Whether the bill stood or fell there would have been no “black-leg peers.” Had the lords refused the bill it 's believed that the king, seeking an easy and graceful manner of evading the government’s prediction of a 'vholesale addition to the peerage, would have instructed his ministers to make at tempts to bring about the same ends through channels less offensive to heir lordships: perhaps refusing outriglit to flood the peerage and in any event delaying his action till every other means had been exhaustetl So it seems that the great body of England’s nobility has had all its w’or- ry for nothing, and that bluff, almost American in its intensity, has won. of the impossibility of their creditors realizing by foreclosure.

For years the spirit of militarism has been combated by the masses Is England becoming peer poor? This question is engaging the attention of the elite as it has never done be fore. Scarcely a month goes by that does not chronicle the bankruptcy of one or more of the aristocracy. The civil courts are becoming as familiar to the nobility as the hall^ of Bucking ham palace. The epidemic of impecunity, which started with the appearance of several creditors of the Earl of Yarmouth, erst while spendthrift of Miss Alice Thaw’s accumulation of steel currency, rapidly spread the ancestral estates of the Marquise of Huntley, whose home at Orton Hall, Orton Longville, was in pawn to the three ball merchants and had its culmination in the involuntary petition of bankruptcy made by the creditors of Gerald Oakley Gadogan, Viscount Chelsea, son and heir of Lord Cadogan. This trio, each of whom are young, prone to pleasure and fond of sport, are but the unfortunate examples of a condition that prevails extensively in the English peerage. They are but the extreme exemplification of the state of penury that prevails through out the English peerage, many of whose landed estates are mortgaged up to the weathercock on the stables, and who are only kept afloat because The eccentric American millionaire yachtman who for twenty years has lived off the coast of Essex, surprising the natives with sudden fits of gener osity and repelling the advances of the tax collectors with a refusal to subicit to British taxation has at last oeBn rounded up by the slow process ol British civil procedure. Mr. Brown v. ill hereafter pay “ ’is bloomin’ taxes” or suffer the visit of a “bobby.” Brown has come to be known as “the old man of the sea.” His yacht has been moored near Essex for over twenty years and during that time he has set foot on shore only some tw? or three times. His character is as eccentric as his habits are peculiar. He evidently hated the sight of anything British, yet his generosity has tided over many a poor family. He first began his fight against tax ation many years ago, when he refus ed to pay the income tax. For years his boat remained an enigma to the tax collectors, who, because the. were unable to catch him afoot on British soil could not legally seize his person or his property. As time went on, how ever. and the tax mounted up ?nto the j thousands, it was decided to uave re- i course to the law, with the result that the inland revenue commissioners have been instructed by the court to levy and collect such taxes as apply to his peculiar mode of living.

It is even thought that some wives and daughters risk hon esty to satisfy their ambition.
