•alt Mins That Was an Oesan In ths
Remote Past.
“A dry sea” sounds like a contra-
diction in terms, but that is just
what the great salt mine of Slanicu,
Roumania, is.
Millions.of years ago what is now
the site of a thriving underground
community was nothing less than
an ocean. In the, course of evolu-
tion, however^ the waters of this
sea evaporated or dried up, but ths
salt whioli it contained remained.
Today the salt mining operations
at Slanicu are so extensive that a
veritable city has been established
where only fishes could survive
when the earth was young.
This salt mine produces nearly
100.000 tons of salt a year, and the
supply is so large that at that rate
it will be 200 years before the re-
mains of the ancient sea are entire-
ly exhausted.
Some idea of the extensive pro-
portions of this salt mine may he
liarf when it is said that despite the
large amount of salt removed each
year the floor of the mine is lower-
ed only six feet six inches annually.
Thousands of men and women
are constantly employed in the
works, and stores and dwellings
have been erected in the mine it-
self, which is some 400 feet below
the surface, to Bave the operatives
the time and trouble It would re-
quire to reach the top.
While a large amount of the salt
we use at the table is derived di-
rectly from the sea water, the
major part copies from salt mines4
like the one at Slanicu. The salt
from the mines is more or lesa dis-
colored by impurities and is of u
stratified nature. Beds of clay are
invariably interposed and indicate
positively that the source of the
salt deposits /Wrb evaporated sea wa-
ter.
It has been estimated that if all
the sea water were to dry up,in the
same manner as did the sea at
Slanicu it would yield no less than
4.500.000 cubic miles of salt, about
fourteen and a half times the bulk
of the entire continent of

a sordid Interest must always prevail
[over the yearnings of the heart'/. My
case at least affords an Instance
wherein love has risen superior to
avarice.
•«ut T must begin at the beginning
or ratber, at the. beginning of tbe end.
You know nil till the 12th, the date of
my parting with you. You know that
I had promised the count an answer
on tbe,13tb, that a new and attractive-
offer from Prince Flegoqflelm had been
been rhude to me on thp 12th and that,
while tbe count was a delightful man.
lm‘K|H«'tlve of his title, to he a prin-
cess was far more attractive than be-
ing a countess. Meanwhile General
Du Pont hnd cabled me from Paris
that he was about to sail for America
hoping to induce me to reconsider uiy
[refusal of him.
On looking over day memorandum
[book I counted seventeen other offers,
Including six titles. Can you blame
me for becoming confused? Count Po-
linski stopped at lite hotel at which l
was living aud would not let qie out
of his sight. The prince, 'vho Is
wealthy—he Is an old man—was more
dignified, more cSrCtnonlous, but he
would not take “No” for an nnswer.
Ills Is one of the oldest families In
Prussia,"and Ije Is on Intimate terms
with the emperor. The Earl of Miele-
ton was_at Newport when you left—be
Is the KngfiHh'rMm, you know- but sent
me a long letter from there explaining
that with my fortune be and 1 conld
put his castle In order and eutertaln
royally. —
, Perhaps If there had not been so
many aud such tempting offers I might
have tnken up with some one of them.
But no sooner did I get my mind fixed
.on the advantages of one than I wns
colled upon to consider those of un-
other The prince would tell me of the
dinners we would have with the em-
peror nnd empress aud the great social
advantages to be derived therefrom.
Tberh the count would describe -the
Jewels that have been In his family
for centuries, nnd the exquisite..pleas-
ure of possessing them almost tempted
me to decide In his- favor. But while
I was thinking about them the fact
that the earl Is an English peer with
a sent In the house of lords would
come up-boforo me, nnd you know the
English nobility Is tbe finest In tbe
world. But there Is one thing about
the Micletons that Isn’t a bit nice—the
family derived Its estates through one
of the mistresses of u former king of
England.
Oh, dear! My brain begins to whirl
again at thinking of all these Induce-
ments that were so lately pulling me
In every direction. I thought how nice
It would bo If they could all bo. united-
in one man. To bc%a German princess
and sit at the emperor’s tablb, a peer-
ess of England nnd be received nt
Buckingham palace, n Polish countess
and wear family Jewels, a thousand
years old—I almost wished we conld
have that system that was in vogue
In olden tlmds—Polly Andrew, 1 think
It wns called—whereby a woman could
have as many husbands as she pleased.
(I hove looked the word up-In the
dictionary, and It’s polyandrous.) Just
think! I could have been a German
princess, an English peeress and a
Polish counters. Besides, I could have
bad a real husband to love me. Heighol
If 1 hnd Imd the making of social sys-
tems I would have made them much
better than 1 find them.
As I was telling you, Ihe day after
ybu left I found myself In a very un-
comfortable position. I had promised
the count an nnswer, the prince was
of too high rank to keep waiting. Gen-
eral Du Pont, who, by tho by, 1 didn’t
tell you comes of ono of the oldest
families In France nnd mny be presi-
dent some day, arrived from Pnrls,
and the Earl of Mieleton came down
from Nfewport. Whnt do you- suppose?
Pollnski wns waiting In my private
parlor for Ills nnswer when up comes
tho princeto card. At that moment a
note Is handed me from General Du
Pont stating that'he had arrived and
would call nt noon (it wns then 11).
While reading his note another wnlter
hands me the car'd of the Earl of
Mieleton.

ft was dreadful, these four men all
pushing tholr claims I not able to
fix my blind ou any ^ue of them to tbe
exclusion of the others. And then think
of the"difficulty of handling so many,
suitors _ at once. That alone Was-
enough to act one wild,.
You kjiow the Nuylng'the hoipeopath-
Ics have, “Like cures, like?”- wW, to
handle all these men I jyds obliged to
call In u man. John Tones has lmd'the
full charge of my property ever since
father died and has managed It very
well and, I believe, very honestly,
knew I had something far more diffi-
cult to manage than property, und
John was the only person I could think
of to help m$. I Just telephoned him
to come right up from bis, office. He
telephoned back that he was cqnclud
lng the sale of one of my buildings
that he Was anxious to get rid of and
desired to nail tbe transaction, fearing.,
another building would be Bold Instead
of mine. I told him that If tbe wtaoje’
estate was In danger of being lost I
wanted him to come right up anyway.
In teu minutes after that he arrived.
I told him of the four men who were
trying to get at me to marry pie.
“Have you no preference?” he asked.
‘‘1 can’t make up my mind," 1 re-
plied, “whether I would rather be
German princess or a British peeress
or run my chances of being first-lady
of France. Then there are the Jew-
els”-— J
"You mistake me,” said .John Joues.
“I wasn’t asking about the titles- aud
things; 1 referred to the men.”
“Oh, the men! 1 hadn’t thought of
that,” I said.
“What do you wish me to do?” he
asked, looking puzzled.
“I don’t know,” I said, with a little
nervous laugh. “I wish you to do
something."
“Do yoft wish me to decide for you?"
“Yes; anything.”
“It will do no good for me to decide
unless you abide by my decision
“1 will.”
“On your honor?”
“Yes, on my honor.”
‘‘.You wish me to decide whom you
are to marry. Is that right?”
"Yes.”
At that moment thfere was a rap at
the door, and like a fool I cried, “Come
In!” The door was opened, and—good
ness gracious—there stood the count!
“Pray excuse my trespassing,” he be
gan; “the fullness of my heart”—
lie had got thus far when—what do
you think?—some one pushed against
him, and, turning, he saw the prince.
And, great Scott, the other two were
coming down tho,gorrldorl The prince
hud seen the count, the earl had seen
tho prince, and the general had seen
the earl coming toward my suit. They
had followed one another.
I looked at John Jones appealingly.
“Gentlemen," be said, "this lady das
Just made a very Important decision—
a decision that affects you all.’'’ Gh,
dear; how eager they all looked 1
“Looking at me, he asked, “Am
right?” nnd I answered "Yes." 1 trust-
ed him.
‘‘She has decided to whom of all her
suitors she will give her hand.” (Each
man's eyes sparkled with anxiety lest
some other than himself had bleeu
chosen.) “I have the honor to an-
nounce to you, gentlemen, that I am
the favored man.”
“You!” shouted the count and the
general. The other^t^o maintained a
dignified silence.
You could bave knocked me down
with a feather. 1 glanced at John
Jones to know If this was Ih earnest
or only to get rid of the others. He
understood my meaning and replied
by a look, “I am in earnest.”
They say that when persons are
drpwnlng all the acts of their lives
pnss IfcSrevlew befere them. All the
advantages 1 was giving up passed be-
fore me. And It Is also said that a
drowning1 person will catch at a straw.
I caught at John Jones.
“Ez this au affair ijomlque,” asked
General Du Pout;_“or ze truth?”
1 nerved myself for an effort. Oh,
how grateful I felt to John, and 1 said:
“It’s the truth.”
The four noblemen flowed very low,
turned and went away. How embar-
rassing it must have been If they met
at the elevator! When they had gone
John turned to me and said:
"Do you approve my course?”
"Yes, 1 db.”
“I release you.”
“No you won’t,” 1 said. "I’ve had
enough of all this. 1 wish It closed up
nt b'nce.”
“Married nt once?”
“Instantly."
John sent out for a clergyman, and
we were married and took tho train
for this place. 1 always liked John,
but somehow I hadn’t thought of him
for a Busbnnd. I suppose my mind
had been on coronets. But John says *
