LADIES is M â€"â€"â€"â€"- SOME- OF THE MOST SUCCESS- FUL ON RECORD. .â€" Queen Louise’s Three Charming Daughtersâ€"Empress Cathar- ine’s Way. Perhaps the most brilliant and ruccessful matchâ€"maker amongst royal ladies was the late Queen Louise of Denmark. No mother ever made more brilliant matches for her own daughters than did the consort of the aged King of Denmark, and, it must be added, no mother ever had three more charming daughters for whom to find husbands, says London Titâ€"Bits. . As everybody knows, the flower of the family, Princess Alexandra, is now Queen of these realms; her sisâ€" ter, Princess Dagmar, was united to the late Emperor Alexander III. of Russia; and another sister, Princess Thyra, found a husband in H.R.H. the Duke of Cumberland. ' But'the late Queen of Denmark did not confine her matchâ€"making to members of her own family, for she loved nothing better than to scheme to bring together any young couple whom she considered suited to each other. In these matters her sound common sense, great experience, and singularly keen perception of char- acter proved of the utmost service. Indeed, it is common knowledge in the Danish capital that many of the happiest and most successful marâ€" riages in the countryâ€"~not only among the higher classesâ€"were brought about by the tactful Queen Louise. The present Queen of Portugal's marriage was brought about by the pretty scheming of her mother, the late Comtesse de Paris, and Mme. de la Ferronayes. When the Crown Prince, as the King then was, re- fused to marry an Austrian Princess the Comtesse‘determined to bring about a union between him and her daughter, Princess Amelie. To this and she sent to her accomplice at Lisbon, who was often visited by the Crown Prince, 5., large framed por- trait of THE BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS, which was placed in a. conspicuous position in the drawing-room, where It would be certain to attract the Lttention of the royal visitor. It had not been there long before he wanted to know whose portrait it was, and, needless to say, his host- ess gladly enlightened him. In due course she had the satisfaction of seeing the artful 'matohemaking scheme of the Comtesse become an accomplished fact. When the slnewd Empress Catharâ€" l'ne of Russia undertook the delicate taslk of selecting a wife for her son Paul from among several German Princesses, she proceeded on someâ€" what original lines. On the occasion of a trio Of them paying her a visit, she carefully observed their general deportment and the manner in which they alighted from their travelling" coach. The eldest of the three Prinâ€" cesses was careless and slipped, the youngest showed such a, lack of digâ€" nity as to bounce out of the car- riage without making use of the steps, while the last to alight alone stepped gracefully to the ground. The Empress at once decided that only the last mentioned Princess was eligible for her son's hand and heart and in due course she became his wife. for no other reason than that she knew how to bear herself with grace and dignity. In regard to the late Queen Vic- toria, it may be mentioned that no royal lady had a, hand in bringing about her marriage to the very amiable and popular Prince Consort who predeceased her by more than thirtyâ€"nine years. That was one of the happiest achievements of King Leopold I. of- Belgium, who mutt have been a. match-maker of no mean abilities, considering the number of other eligible suitors who were asâ€" pirants for HER MAJESTY’S HAND. Respecting the late Queen herself, she was known to be an ardentâ€" matchâ€"maker, and did not confine her operations in this character exâ€" clusively to royal circles. A very amusing story is told of the Way in which she found a wife for the rath- er eccentric Lord Palmerston, who can scarcely be described as a, ladies’ man. ' The then Premier, Lord Melbourne, was a widower, and, Lord Palmers- ton occupying the post of Foreign Minister, difficulties seemed in store regarding the reception of the wives of the various Ambassadors. 'This prompted Her Majesty to ask Lord Palmerston why he refrained from taking to himself a wife, and the Foreign. Minister pleaded that he did not know anyone who would have him. Queen Victoria replied that there need be no difficulty about that, and calmly undertook to pro- duce a lady who was ready and willing to become his wife. His lordship could do nothing under the circumstances but acquiesce, and Lady Cowper was accordingly brought home from Rome to become Lady Palmerston. Her husband would have been the first to acv knowledge that never was there a happier match, and it was also a good example of the late Queen's fine judgment. ' 1n the years when the present German Emperor was a somewhat impetuous young Prince. it was de- sired by his mothcr that he should marry and settle down. Accordingly an album.full of portraits of Royal Princesses who were open to en- )gageinent was put in his Way, and .53): ofi‘orl. made to induce him to indicate his said that the Prince was not allow- ed a moment’s peace ; and in a fit of desperation into his mother’s boudoir and thus delivered mother, for Heaven’s sake select out of that album any woman you con- sider fit to be your future daughter- in-law, and I’ll marry straight oil, for with all the eternal nagging I have had for the past three months I am almost insane.

Some of the leading men of Ply- mouth Church, Brooklyn, New York, have raised a fund to set. apart for five years the best pew in the church for. the English visitors who, Sun- day by Sunday, find their way to the scene of Henry Ward Beecher's historic ministry. An English flag has been placed under a, glass Cover, and a plate bearing the words, “Reâ€" served for English visitors,” has been attached to the pew. As is well known, a pew in St. Margaret's Westminster, is thus reserved for American visitors. LOVE'S MESSENGER A DOG.

The dog was making the round of the various tables in search of dainty morsels, when he was seized by one of the lady’s reâ€" jected admirers, who chalked a brief declaration of love on the dog’s back.

Smith's Falls, Sept. 15.-â€"(Specâ€" ial.)â€"-The cure of Mr. Theodore Young of this place is a wonderful example of the progress that mediâ€" cal science has made in the last few years. Up till a. short time ago the doc~ tors claimed that Bright’s Disease was absolutely incurable, and in fact there are a few who still adhere to this theory. But Bright's Disease is not incura- ble. Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure this terrible malady and have done so in. thousands of cases. Those who are skeptical need not go farther than this town to find proof. Mr. Young makes this state- ment: “I was afflicted for about two years with Kidney Trouble and chronic Bright's Disease. My urine was very'dark and I lost consider- able blood, makirg me so weak ] could scarcely stand. “After using the first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I was much better, and when I had used four boxes I was able to resume work which I had not done for some time previous. “I can conscientiously recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to any one afllicted as I was." Mr. Young's case is only one of a great _ many where Dodd's Kidney Pills came to the rescue after everyâ€" thing had failed. They haVe con- quered Bright’s Disease and restored to life and health men and women who had not expected to ever again enjoy this great blessing. Dodd's Kidney Pills having demonâ€" strated their ability to grapple with Kidney Disease in its very Worst formâ€"Bright's: Diseaseâ€"can "certainâ€" ly be depended on to cure any of the lesser forms. Dodd's Kidney Bills are the only medicine that has ever cured Bright's Disease. .4.
