co IV American visitors to the charming island of Martinique will no longer be able to gratity their curiosity and pay their respects to a real live king ot Af rica, for Behanzin, the former king of Dahomey, has departed under the direction of the French government for Blidah, Algeria, where he will re main a prisoner, close to that other royal captive, Kanavalo, queen of Madagc.scar. King Behanzin has been Interned at Fort de France since 1894 when he was captured by Gen. Dodds and the Dahomey uprising quelled. The fite of the old warrior here was a sad and melancholy one notwithstanding the fact that his three wives two daugh ters and only son, Prince Wanilo. •were his constant companions, and the further fact that his movements in Martinique were not restricted. He was tree to move about the city and surrounding countryside, yet while the possibilities of escaping from the is land were remote, some one, whose business it was to know, could al ways account for him. He was often seen driving out accompanied uy his favorite wife and Prince Wanilo. Once each month he appeared at the gov ernor's to receive the allowance made him by the French government. He always appeared in public attired in his kingly robes and invariably smok ing a cigar in a very long pipe. The government allowed him a house, too, where he and his family lived peacefully, sadly and always with with longing for his former do- KING BEHAMZ1N AND TWO OF HIS WIVES.

After Her Marriage to King Alfonso She Will Find Herself Mistress of Half a Dozen Magnificent "Homes." When in June the English princess, Ena of Battenberg, becomes the wife of King Alfonso and entitled to the title of queen of Spain, she will find herself mistress of at least half a dozen magnificent castles and palaces in Spain. First of all there is the splendid royal palace at Madrid, a great pile similar to Versailles, built by Philip V. It is a massive building some 500 feet square and its most striking fea ture is a magnificent marble staircase. Some distance outside of the capital is the ancient palace of Escurial, ir- 1 reverently known as the gridiron on account of its curious shape. It ^as rooms and corridors totaling 120 miies in length. At Aranjeuz there is a brighter and more pleasant dwelling place, much more oft.en visited by the Spanish court, while near San llde fonso is the palace of La Granja. Then King Alfonso has a delightful shooting box at El Pardo and a beau tiful seaside home, the Miramar pal ace, at San Sebastian.

To her surprise she was followed by the young man, who seemed persistent in his flirtation, so much so that she left the store without making a single purchase. "It's downright shameful," she ex claimed that night at the dinner table, "when a girl can't even shop in New York without being ogled by a man."

Behanzin's son, Prince Wanilo, is an illustration of what education can do for man. Educated in the common schools and the Lycee of Martinique, he compared favorably with his black and white it!low students in his stud ies, and this in a country where the standard of education is very high. Wanilo in late years was always pres ent when the king deigned to give an audience. He is the mouthpiece ot his dethroned father and translates his native tongue into beautiful French. Of.

When Prof. Stillman of Sevens in stitute gave a dinner to two friends, at which most of the viands were made artificially by chemical means, he had small idea of the furore his efforts would produce. But he has received hundreds of letters asking how differ ent dishes were produced—so many that he has not had time to answer many of them. The chemical processes which he employed were some of them simple and some quite complicated. To make vanilla ice cream by artificial means, for instance, the alchemist took some triple refined cottonseed oil, placed it in a centrifugal machine which revolv ed at a velocity of 3,000 revolutions a minute. A beautiful emulsion was thereby produced, which was then frozen, chemically, of course. The fla vor was obtained by the addition of vanilla, glucin and nitro-benzol. They say that ice cream composed as above is sold in many Southern states where cottonseed oil is more plentiful and consequently cheaper than milk or cream. It is far from harmful, tastes good, and does not melt as quickly as the genuine ice. .» Driven to the Suburbs. The rapacity of landlords in New York city is driving tenants to the suburbs.

"Lssi year I suffered with a tremen dous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At nisht when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to got up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excrutiating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly re lieved.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in an address to a delegation of farmers, won hearty applause by the following observation: "I overheard a dialogue between two well dressed men at lunch the other day. "The first man, as he helped himself to asparagus, said: By the way, you said Johnson -was a farmer, didn't you?' 'Good gracious, no!' returned the other man. "I said he made his for tune out of wheat. Did you ever hear of a farmer doing that?' Different. "Why don't you elope with her?" "But, good gracious, man!

A WOMATH ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOB'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Airs T. C. Wiuadsen continue to suffer rather than Bubmit to examinations which so many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease and this is the rea Eon why so many physicians fail to Cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre sponding with Mrs. Pinkham, daughter hp-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read howMrs.PinkhamhelpedMrs.T. C. Wil ladsen, of Manning, la. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. .Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over twq years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble and would daily have faint ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your ad vice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkkam's Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you 1 would have been in my grave to-day."
