PRANKS OF A PRINCE.
Wllliclminn’s Future Stuahand Wa»
a Lively Youngster n I't’**
Years A*o.
Perhaps Prince Henry of Mecklen
burg-Schwerin, the fiance of Queen Wil
helmina, is a sober, industrious royalty
now, but according to this story he was
a pretty lively fellow a few years ago,
says the St. Louis Republic. Once a
governess of some cousins of his, scions
of the ducal house of Mecklenburg
Strelitz, lived in a grand, solitary castle
planted in the middle of a boundless
plain of sand, like a tent in the desert.
Henry Vladimir von Mecklenburg
Schwerin, who was there on a visit to
his cousins, had taken a violent dislike
to the governess, who objected to his
rather free-and-easy manners with
her noble pupils. One Sunday morning
the children started with her in a car
riage to drive to the little church a few
miles away from the castle. Mme De
X-, the governess, was on the front
seat with the two countesses, and
Duke Henry Vladimir had installed
himself on the back seat. More than
once she felt as if something queer was
going on behind her, but when she
looked around the boy was stiff and
solemn, looking the other way.
At last the party reached the church,
in front of which a little crowd of no
ble neighbors and peasants had assem
bled. Henry Vladimir jumped out
first and gallantly offered bis hand to
the governess. She thought this un
it ontetl politeness rather strange, but
on jumping out her skirt and one or
two petticoats fell at her feet, where
they softly arranged themselves in a
sort of balloon, from which she
emerged a little more dressed than
“Venus Rising from the Sea,” but not
much. On the morrow the young Meck
lenburg-Schwerin was sent home with
the brand of shame upon him.
WOOD LOOKS LIKE METAL.
A New Proceas by Which Strength
null Hardness Are Given to
the Fiber.
A European scientist has discovered a
method by which wood may be given
the appearance of metal. Outside of
the added value for decorative purposes
which this may give, the advantage to
be derived is not clearly apparent. The
woojf Is said to be render* d exceedingly
Ivuvd and strong, although it is equally
uncertain what part of the process may
be assumed to confer these desirable
qualities upon wood which was soft
and weak before treatment, says an in
dustrial exchange.
The process is described as follows:
The wood is first soaked for three or
four days in a solution of caustic alkali
at a temperature of from 75 to 90 de
grees centigrade, and is then trans
ferred at once to a bath of hydrosul
phate of calcium, to which a saturated
solution of sulphur in caustic alkali is
added after hours. The wood re
mains in this bath, which is kept at a
temperature of from 35 to 50 degrees
centigrade, and finally it is soaked for
about 30 to 50 hours in a solution of
acetate of lead. The wood is then dried
at a moderate temperature nnd may be
polished with a burnisher of hard wood.
In this case it can be made to acquire a
brilliant metallic luster and if the sur
face is previously rubbed with apiece of
lead, t in or zinc and a glass or porcelain
burnisher is used the effect is increased..
The wood treated in this way resem
hies a metallic mirror.
COURTED BY MEANS OF SIGNS.
Boston Couple That Never Spoke Un
til They Stood Before
the Altar.
A marriage took place in Boston t be
other evening, the parties to which
bad never spoken until a few minutes
before they stood before the clergy
man who pronounced them man and
wife. They hud been courting for
nearly three months at that, and they j
were both in full possession of the
faculty of speech, says a Boston paper, j
One dhy in March last a young wom
an employed in one of the depart meut
siuus tiuu u j uuii^ umu uuiuju^ a
clerkship !n a music store engaged ,
rooms on Shawmut avenue and Union j
Park street respectively, and thut
light, sitting at the windows of their
lodgings, saw each other across the
expansive courtyard for the first time.
For several nights they' enjoyed each
ither’s presence in a silent manner.
Later on the young man acknowledged
[lie lady’s presence with a bow. Then
began the odd and unique courtship,
i'he young man, in order to get a bet
ter look at his inamorata, bought a
pair of opera glasses, and* to his de
light, the lady did the same. Then
the young man cut out some letters
Erow white paper aud pinned them
on a piece of board that he had covered
with biack muslin, to spell out: “Tell
me your name."
The lady answered the next night in
the same way. Through this medium, i
ilow and unsatisfactory ap it was, the '
jourtship went on, the young lady, j
however, being deaf to all his entrea- i
,ies for a meeting. They soon gave up
their original mode of correspondence,
however, and began to pay tribute to
[he postal service. An engagement fol
owed in due course of time and last
week there was a wedding distin- j
ruished by “no cards, no reception, no
nridal tour.”
