ACROSS THE WORLD
"Haroun of AllepO," said Sir Phillip Der
val, had mastered every secret In nature
| which the nObler magic seeks to fathOm. He
discovered that the true art Of healing is to
assist Nature to throw off the diseaBe-tu
summon, as 1t were, the whole system to
eject the enemy that has fastened on q part.
His processes all included the reinVigOration
of the principle of life
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians of to-day.
What life itself is nobody knew then-nO-
body knows now. But we have learned some
thing of the reasons why the mysterious tide
rises and falls. Provided the great organs of
the body are not irreparably destroyed, med
iCal science can always relieve, aud often
save. Yet no reputable physician now ad-
heres to the barbarOus and STUPID processes
of depletion, such as bleeding by which it
was attempted to cure disease by reducing
the patients ability to resist It, Nowadays
we do not tear down the fort to help the
garrisOn-We strengthen it.
In this intelligent and benetcent work, IL
is conceded that FARAER'S TONIC
leads all other medicines. AS an inVigorant
1t acts Immediately and powerfully upon the
circulation and the organs of digestion, thus
giving Nature the assistance she calls for. 1t
follows that all ailments of the stomach, kid
neys and liver are at once relieved or cured.
No other preparation embOdies the same
qualities or produces similar re suits. It Is
delicious to use, and the best known anti-in-
toxicant. Price SO cents and 81. Hiseox g.

Very many good reasons maI be adI

Ierects OF Beer-prinlslne.

Il IS argued that the habitual consump-
tion Of beer in large quantities tends to
enlarge the heart by the direct action OF
the alcohol on its tissues, 10y the increase
in the amoun; Of fluids in the body, and

ents Of the beer are easily assimiiated.
Statements are made 20 the effect that the
average weight Of the heart in men is rel
aGvely greater in Munich than elsewhere.
Both sides of the heart participate in this
hypertrophy. Ii may naturally he asked

One item in the will of the late Prince
Gortschakof created some little curiosity
in the court circles Of st. Petersburg. Ii
had been observed that the Prince had
always worn upon the little finger of his
left hand gold ring Of apparently small
value. Ii had evidently been . wOman's
ring, for it had once been ornaInented with
: cluster OF small stones, which had long
since disappeared, leaving the empty, I'M
slightly place they had occupied marked 10y
blackened spot upon the hoop the latter
being itself worn almost TO a thread OF
gold, which still, however, chung to the
bony finger, kept in It's place by the knot
ted.jo;nt above. The importance attached
10 this ornament by the old Prince can be
judged when it is known that in his will
re directed his executors to see that he was
buried with his ring upon his finger.
Il was only shortly before the Princes
death that he disclosed the secret Of the
ring to his second son, Prince Constantine.
1t had been given him As long ago Is 1859,
when Queen Hortense was induced by his
advice 10 leave Florence before mourning
the humiliation of being driven hence by
the Tuscan Government, which had de-
clared Itself the mortal enemy of every
individual allied to the Bonapsrte family.
The Queen, who had the most urgent rea-
sons for wishing to remain in Florence,
Aeoitated to obey, until Gortschakof, hav-
inr obtained secret information Of the dam
ger which would be incurred by her should
She persist in remaining longer, took upon
himself 70 send an officer with a Govern

A carriage and post horses were in wait
Ing 10 convey her away, and in spite of
the tears and sobs on her part, with exc
crations against such tyranny on that OF
another person, Her Majesty felt bound to
obey the order to escape the danger of in
generation and disgrace with which she
had been threatened. The carriage sped
hrislly on its way to the frontier, the
Queen inconsoIable and bewailing her
hard fate when, AZ the first relay, what
vas her amazement to behold the position
approach the carriage, and humbly salut-
ing Her Majesty, beg to wish her happy
and prosperous journey, informing her at
the same time that her hotel had been oc-
cupicd Immediately after departure by a
troop Of sbirri sent 10 arrest her, and that
everything had been placed under the Gov
cgument seal. She was not slow to recognize
Prince GortsehakoG in spite of his dis
atise. and her gratitude knew no bounds.
She had left the place 40 abruptly that
she had brought none OF her valuabes

her hpger was the only souvenir she could

period Of his life he could never speak OF
