The Cure OF InebTIalss.

DIR Albert Day, Superintendent of
the New York State Inebriate Asylum
at Binghampton, publishes a letter in
the BinghamptOn Daily Republican in
reply to an article which appeared a
few days before in the Mail IN relation
to the cure of inebrIates, from which
we gather the following interesting
facts. The Doctor says:
"During the last ten years have had
under my care over twenty five hum
dred cases of inebriety, in all it's vari-
Gus forms and conditions.

Senator Fiarelii's workmen are con-
stantsy unearthing new treasures at
Pompeii. One of the most recent IS "a
strong box. 1t was evidently covered
with thin plates of iron. The front is
ornamented with bronze bas-Ieliefs
which are almost uniDjured. There are
q mans head, from ITS grotesqueness
supposed TO be a mask, two busts of
women, two genii, and the head of "A
dog. Around these is a circle of ivy
leaves.
All are finely aud carefully engraved.
The genii are thought by some who
have seen them TO equal LiDerti's heads
of angels on the famous bronze doors
OF the Baptistery of Florence. The
dog and the ivy of course symbolic
vigilance and fidelity. The busts are
Thought to be family portraits. The
house in which the box was found Is
south OF the city on the Castillamare
ide.
In the same quarter a decayed
wooden box yielded specimen of the
gold bullds, worn by the children of
rich families. 1t opens, and has little
hollow place in the centre. On it is a
buckle in filagree work; through this
passed the ribbon by which 1T hung
from the child's neck. Five gold
rings were found, very modern-look-
ing breastpin, a broken bracelet, ear
rings of an entirely new pattern, emer-
aids, stones engraved bnt not mounted,
silver spoons of different sizes, and
large amethyst of great value, on
which are two figures, which are be-
lieved to be Apollo and Cupid.

to represent to the Sultan that IL was
better to have him for a friend and
neighbor than to trust1to his support

who, while setting themselves forth as
the defender of Turks in all circum.
stances, only in reality followed the
policy of that same neighbor. "Tell
his Majesty" added the Russian mon
arch, "that hisneighbor one day may
cease to be conservative, and then
Turkey would find opposed TO her all
the forces he has at his command.
Fuad Paslia, ON his return TO Con

ambassador the project of a Russo

she Use Of Hgmor in the Pulpit.

The Advance, the new Congrega-
tionalist organ in Chicago. defends the
use of humOr in the pulpit. IL says:
Those who are offended ut humOr
in Henry Ward Beecher, should listen
to Spurgeon, both in and out Of the
pulpit. We shall never forget the eve
ming when we stood in a dense crowd
in the Free Church Assembly Hall IL
Edinburg, and heard him address the
Scotch ministers and elders on an
effective way of preaching the gospel,
for more than an hour. He insisted on
brief and varied exercises in meetings
for prayer and conference, adding: 81
never like to have one of my deaeons
pray for half an hour, and conclude
with asking the Lord to forgive our
SLortcomingSr" That pun doubtless
cured many of his hearers of the habit
in question, although as we looked into
the faces of the audience, we saw not a
few OF the grave Scotch elders twisting
their features in their efforts to avoid
so sinful a thing as a smile In reIi-
gious meeting. We may as well learn
to be natural in religion, and to laugh
at laughable thing as well as to weep
over those which are mOurnful. The
wise man said, There is a time to
weep and time TO laugh, and who
shall say that both do not find their
time occasionally during a sermonf

even if it excited smile when deliv-

Consumption Durable by Or. Schenek's

To cure consumption, the system must b

cOmplish this, the liver and stomach must
be cleansed and an appetite created for good
wholesome food. which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy
blood made; thus building mp the constitu-
ton Schenek's Mandrake Pills cleanse the
stomach of all billions or mucous accumula-
tons; and by using the Sea Weed Tonic in
connection, the appetite is restored.
Sehencks PulmoBie Syrup is nutritious as
well as medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the
system, and good, wholesome blood made,
which will Tepef all disease. If patients will
take these medicines according to directions

yields readily to their action. Take the pills
frequently, 10 cleanse the liver and stomach.

The Illicit Relations of Napoleon and
Hiss Howard.


Miss Howard.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald says 81 -
The Emperor's illegitimata son by
the late Miss Howard has Just married
a rich Hungarian lady, whose name the
Iapers do not mention. 1t will be re-
membered that Miss Howard.Sa actress
at minor theater in London, became
Louis Napoleon's mistress before 1913.
when he became President of the re-
public he caused her to come to Paris,
and installed her in a mansion Just op.
posite to the side entrance to the Elysee,
in the Avenue Montague, whore he saw
her constantly. She was very useful
to him. and by her influence with Jews
in London, got him considerable sum
of money, which he wanted for many
purposes.
After he became Emperor he contin-
ued TO keep up relations with her until
he married Eugenie de Montiio. Then

her Countess of BeauregaTd, and CIV,

get her more completely off his hands,
he got "a foolish English gentleman of
old family to marry her. She signed a
deed, granting him a large mortgage
on the property. As might have been
Expected, such marriage led to no
happiness. They soon led a cat and
dog life, and the husband was very
much away from her.
In London he naturally found him
self cut by all his old friends. One
day he was openly reprOached with
being a wOman's man, and got into
snch n rage. That he took the deed out
of his pocket and tore it up to show
his disintepestedness. lie knew, how
ever, that his wife was bad life, her
constitution being impaired, and, I'M
der a mistaken notion Of French law,
he supposed that he would have life
interest IN the Beanregard property
after her death. When she died he
went over to France tO take possession,
but found that the Countess sou was
before him. So confident was he OF
his right that he got blacksmith TO
break open the locks of the outer door.
For this act lie WAS handed over to the
police, and a lecture from the Commits
sary informed him, to his sorrow, that
the son was the sole heir to his estate.
So he went back to England.
Beyond the run of the Kitchen at
Beauregard, for short time this heavy
swell never got anything for marrying
q cast off mistress. Everybody must
say "served him right"
The Emperor never took much per
sonal notice of Miss HoWaTd's son af-
ter his infancy. 1t was, perhaps, hu
name not to bring up the young man
to look upon him as father. But he

y FFrom tse louisville Couri,r1 s
A ludicrous, but still a painfnl and
embarrassing incident occurred. 10 an
acquaintance of ours during the week
OF the Shelby county fair. -Onr friend.
who is a gallant young widower, was
visiting house in the country, which
at that time, among its other tenants.
contained three beautiful and accom-
plished young ladies. It is supposed
by the knowing ones that one of these
Young ladies was tie, principal fair
which attracted our friend to Shelby
county. Be that as it may, lie went to
stay the week out, and was duly sup
piled withraiment suitable for tie oc-
casion.
On his arrival he was shown TO his
room, where lac Immediately commenc-
ed getting himself up for dinner
Taking from his valise a glossy broad
cloth coat, he hung it up by an open
window IN order TO let the wrinkles in
il get somewhat smOothed out before
dinner. When that important event
arrived, our hero. hurriedly putting on
his coat, repaired to the parlor, and
from thence accompanied the ladies to
the dining-room. He had barely seated
himself before he astonished the COM
pany by loud ejaculation and VIC
lent slap of his shoulder. f-l-al-
He kept on calculating, writhine,
and slapping vigorously for a short
time, when he suddenly jumped to his
feet, nearly upsetting the tab g, and
roared out: "What in HI is it?''
At the same timehe was stripping him
self of his coat and vest. The ladies
became very much frightened ut his
frantic movements, and beat a hasty re.
treat. They thought he had become
suddenly crazy, and was going to strip
himself naked in his insane spasni. So
they flew tothe parlor and barricaded
the door.
In the meantime our friend had dis
covered the cause of his fright Several
enormous hornets had craWled into his
coat sleeves, while that garment was
hanging at the window, and, not liking
their confined position, they had COM
menced pegging away at him as soon as
he sat down. The painful stabs, com
ing in such quick succession and so
unaccOuntably, filled the mind of she
victim with terror. He thought of
vipers, eentipedes, and tarantulas, and
who shall blame him for being fright
ened out of his wits.
The cause of his curious conduct was
explained TO the ladies' much to their
relief. Their hearts were filed with
sympathy aud mirIb, and that was
merry little dinner party, notwithstand-
ing its IneusplciOus commencement.
