obstruction, but rather mark
ell improvement in the skins
action; and l am satisfied that
.perspiration is more facilitated than
hindered by thorough rubbing with any
smooth, fine, pure unguent. By such
rubbing the particles or minute glob-
ules of oil are forced through the epi-
dermis, and brought in contact with the
lymphatics and blood-veSsels of the Gu
It's vera, by which they are taken up
and conveyed into the circulation. Dur
ing the latter part of 1873, became ac-
quainted with vaseline, product of Pc
troleum, which is now pretty well
known to the profession and the public.
This possessed more of the qualities of
a perfect unguent than any thing | had
before seen, and | sought out the manu-
faeturer and ascertained that he could
give me still further refined product
from the same source. This prepare
ton, which | have found The most sat
isfaetory and beneficial in Injunction, is
white, translucent, odorless, and taste
less, and does not, like animal or veg
etable oils, become rancid with expo
sure or age. Being composed largely
of carbon, it possesses antiseptic prop
critics in common with charcoal and in
form much more convenient for many
purposes. In practice, this unguent is
generally perfumed, which does not
alter its essential qualities. The time
may come when our unguents will be
as numerous as those of the Romans I;
for l am convinced that ''oleagination'

raputic purpOses-has future before if.

A King Reduced TO Poverty.

There is living now in Milan a man
without a roof to cover his head who,
only a few years ago, was king. The
London Echo tells his story as fol-
lows; "This parsonage is Leo VII. of
Armenia, Prince of Karigosz, whose ia
Their was in the year 1916 dispOssessed
by the Russians. Shortly after this
event the inhabitants of Erivan called
his son to the throne by the name OF
Leo VII, but simple command from
st. Petersburg proved sufficient to de-
termine his fall, the only result of his
brief elevation being the loss of all his
property and the withdrawal of pen
sion of $4,000 francs, which had been
allowed him by the Russian Govern
ment. The landless monarch had in
deed some capital in English and Amer
lean banks, but this he lost in cOnse-
quence of engaging in rash speculatiOns.
He then sold his jewelry and other val
uables, and soon had absolutely moth
ing left. He is now living with his

Houses Destroyed and Lives Lost by a
Water-SpOut.

Mr.. Nathaniel Gaskill of this city,
says the NeWbern On. c. Nat Shell, has
received letter from a reliable gentle
man. living on the straits, in which is a
terrible account of a destructive water
spout at Harker's Island, about 40 miles
below this city, on the 10th instant.
The column of water struck the dwelling
of Mrs. Gaskill, a respectable widow
lady, and totally destroyed the building,
instantly killing four children and NOR
tally wounding Mason Gaskill, son of
the lady alluded to, besides slightly
wounding several others. Ayoung baby,
which was in the upper story of the
building at the time of the accident, has
never been seen or heard of since. We
learn that Mason Gaskill, the young man
MORALLY wounded, was of the most ex-
cellent habits, and was highly esteemed
and loved by all who knew him. The
affair has created the greatest excite
ment in the surrounding country, and
has cast gloom over the entire land.

was assisted by his sons and agents, Mr..
Hallock and Mr.. Bruce. His Office was
at IS Prince Street, and he went TO the

retired Mr.. Bruce on pension.
In 1870 Mr.. Astor paid two million

THE AsToR FAMILY.
Mr.. Aston never held public office,
His whole life was spent in the manage.
ment of his fortune. He leaves three
sons, John Jacob, William B., and Hen
ry. Neither of them has any business
pursuit.
Henry, the youngest son, inherited
the estate of his uncle, John Jacob, six
years ago. He married the daughter
of poor farmerin Barrytown, Duchess
County, against the wishes of his rela-
tjves. Since his marriage he has re-
tired to place near Hudson, and he
rarely comes to the city, although the
most of his property is here.
The Astor estate descends to John
Jacob, the eldest son of William B.
He is about 60 years old, and has one
son, William.
1t has been the custom in the Aston
family for three generations to deposit
one hundred thousand dollars in bank
at the birth of a son or daughter, the
money and the interest to be given tC

Mr.. VIM B. Astor had three daugh,

wife of Sam Ward. Another was the
wife of Frank Delano, of Grinnell, Min

cure Of the use of intoxicating drinks
81 Overcame the appetite by recipe
given to me by old DR.. Hatfield, one of
those gold old physicians who do not
have percentage from a neighboring
druggist. The prescription is simply
an orange every morning half hour
before breakfast. Take that said the
doctor, 'ald you will neither want
liquor or medicine l have done so
regularly, and find that liquor has be-
come repulsive. The taste of the orange
is in the saliva of my tongue, and it
would be as well to mix water and oil
as rum with my taste. Herald Of
