A PRINCESS OF WALES DRAWING
ROOM.
London Letter in Boston Traveller

On the Goth of May / was presented at
the drawing room held by the Princess of
Wales. 1t was long and fatiguing pro-
cess to be dressed in full evening dress at
II in the day, with train behind me four
yards long, to wait in my carriage two
hours in the queue at Buckingham palace,
exposed to the jeers of the populace. For
women hold their babies up at the carriage
windows, and men look i'll at the occu-
pants and make remarks. l had a severe
headache, and, l dare say, red face, for
one young gentleman of the lower classes
remarked, "rouge, rouge" l noticed that
he pronounced the ''g" very hard. There
we had to sit like monkeys in cage, in
our plumes and wells, to be stared at and
laughed at; such is the privilege of the I'M
washed. However, like old Mother Hub
bard, we "got there" at last, and then all
was smooth sailing. The magnificent
guards sat on horseback in the quadran-
gle, the band discoursed excellent music,
within the portal stood the
immemorial beef-eaters, the gentle
men of the Queens guard helped us to
alight, pages in the royal livery took our
cloaks, and passing on through superb
halls and up an immense staircase, with
our trains over our arms, we finally reach
ed the saloon, where we were to wait the
pleasure of the lord chamberlain; pictures
of great interest on the walls, and plenty
of comfortable chairs to sit down in.
Soon the room began to fill with the gor
geOus women in court toilets, every one
with white feathers and veil, and low
necks, bare arms and fine gowns, or, as
they say here "smart" gowns. 1t was a
really splendid scene.
We were all furnished with two cards,
one of which was handed to the queens |
page at the door. The other we kept I'M
til we reached the throne room. Fortu
nately several ladies preceded me to let
me see that ones train should be care
fully spread out like peacock's tail, for
one, and that there was nothing formid-
able In the courtesy. l courtesied four
times as l passed the beautiful Princess
of Wales, Princess Christian, Princess
Mary of Cambridge, and the ever popular
Prince of Wales, and 1 lived through it.
1t is nothing but the early bob" of our
childish days made with respectful intent

For twelve or fourteen years l have been a great

THERE are some representatives, on the
democratic side in congress who will be
elected to stay at home next fall. Their
constituency do not like their position on
the tariff question. In several cases it
has not been the sense of majority of
their constituents but to subserve some
private interests which were with great
force brought to bear and that too sue
cessfully. John V. S. Findlay OF Mary
land is one OF this class and very likely he
will have time to attend to his law prac-
tice after the next election.

SOME MORE BLAINISM.

Some more of Mr.. James G. Blaine's
political methods have been brought to
light. Col. Geo. Bliss charges that two
days before the last presidential election
Jay Gould paid from $4,000 to 100000
to a Tammany sachem to be used against
Cleveland. This is especially noteworthy,
when it is known that on that same day
Mr., Blaine was secretly closeted with
Gould for four hours.
Mr.. Bliss charges also effects several
prominent persons in New York, but they
are most important in that they. give
more vindication of the course pursued
by some of the better element of the re-
publican party who knitted Blaine for
Just such reasons as the above.
If this kind of thing continues to come
to light it will undoubtedly be a fact that
the last state of Blaine will be worse than
the first.
Blainism is such a comprehensive word
in view of its origin that it should be in
troduced in the next dictionary.

He Didn't Understand Eye-,a1ian.

as the proprietor inf" was the question
asked in an innocent sort of way of group
who sat in John McConneIrs private Office
the other night just as the curtain was 60
ing up on "Trovatore. The inquirer was
evidently a gentleman from the rural dis
tricts He had on cheap fur cap, sailors
pea jacket, and the air of one very, very
far away from home and conscious of it.
Mr. Mcconnell being pointed out, the
stranger said with simple confidence:
Mister, I've made mistake; me and my
friend here wanted to go and see Bill Mes
tayer's we Us & Co. and we supposed we
was at the right theatre. 1 bought 81 seats,
and now when I'm inside they tell Inc I'm in
the wrong house, and that this is an Eye
Italian show. Now, can't talk Eye-talian
and don't understand it, and want to know
if you won't give me my money hackl" The
mans simple air and his hopeless expression
at the thought that he might have to stay
and hear an ~Eye-talian" show was too much
for Mr.. McColnelrs tender heart He took
the coupons and went to the box office, and
returned the money. As he was going the
grateful man said, "If 1 could understand
Eye-talian l would stay and see your show,
but 'rwould be all Greek to me. Between
you and me, don't b'lieve half them poor
people goin' in there understand a word of
Eye-talisn nutIer."
And this was the sentiment that Mr. Nc
Connell had not the heart to gainsay.-Chi-

MOUNDS oE The NORTHWEST.


A New Series Discovered Along the Penn
bina River-Interesting Specimens.
A recent dispatch from Montreal said
that the scientific men Of Canada intended
to ask the government to defray the cost Of
making & thorough exploration of the
mounds in the Canadian northwest Over
fifty Of these interesting remains of an an
cient race have thus far been discovered,
chiefly along the Rainy, Red, and Pembina
rivers, in Manitoba and the northwest ter
ritory. II Was thought until last year that
Winnipeg was the northern limit OF the
mound builders Later discoveries, how
ever, brought to light q new series Of
mounds along the Pembina river far west
and $50 miles north Of Winnipeg, and it is
very probable that other work of the mound
builders will be found still further north
along the streams that have their rise in the
foot hills of the Rocky mountains
Situated in the midst of these cemeteries,
Notifications, and lookouts of the an-ient
aborigines, the Historical society of Winni-
peg inaugurated the work of explorations
little over two years ago 1t has opened
several mounds along the Red and Rainy
rivers, and has obtained quite number of
specimens of human bones, stone scrapers
and axes, charred wood and bark, copper
needles, drills and knives, and pottery,
mostly in fra yments. In the largest mound
yet discovered Professor Bryce found speci-
mems Of sea shells perforated so that they
could be strung together for necklaces
These specimens, like the copper and other
objects found in the Ohio mounds, show that
some commodities were transported very
long distances by the early inhabitants Of
this continent
The Canadian Pacific hotsl of Winnipeg
stands on the site of one Of these mounds
The Manitoba mounds, which are from six
to fifty feet in height, differ little from the
Ohio structures They have not added
much as yet to our knowledge of the
mound builders, except to show that the
area within which they reared these monu-
ments is far greater than was formerly sup
posed We now know that the mound
builders lived and toiled, not only in Cen
tral America, Mexico and the Mississippi
valley to the great lakes, but also along the
waterways of the far northwest almost til
the northern limits of fertility. Many
mounds in the Mississippi valley, it is be-
heved, do not antedate the discovery of
America by Columbus Professor Bryce,
however thinks hs has considerable evil
dence going to show that the big mound on
the Rainy river was built upward Of eight
centuries ago-New York Sun.

THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infirmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be a
part of themselves, and bless generations
yet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of strong and healthy
bodys The preparation of DIR. S. B.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is Just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately a
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. I.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
frmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. He eused PERUNA,
and as a result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Scubs, St. Clair, St.
Clair county, Mich, says: l have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
lily of children are ever liable, and find
it in every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
= Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: " Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERUNA is the best medicine I
ever used"

One Tired Mother to Another.

A little elbow leans upon your knee;
Your tired knee that has so much tc
bear.
4 child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch OF tangled
hair,
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet
touch
OF warm, moist fingers folding yours
so tight.
You do not prize this blessing over much
You are almost too tired TO pray TO-
night.
But it is blessednessI A year age
| did not see it as l do to-day.
We are so dull aud thankless and too
slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems SURPRISING strange to
me
That while L wore the badge of MOTH
erhOod,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only
good.
And if some night. when you sit down
to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired
knee,
The restless, curly head from of your
breast
The lisping tongue that chartered con-
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm
again,
If the White feet into the grave have
tripped,
1 could not blame you for your heart
ache then.
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children cliDging to their
gown;
Or that footprints, when the days are
wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
If [ could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket. on my chamber floor;
If could kiss a rosy restless foot,
And hear it patter in my home once
more;
If could mend a broken cart to-day.
Tomorrow make kite to reach the
sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could
say
She was more blissfully content than |.
But oh the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest has
flown,
The little boy used to kiss is dead.

Rushes the wind like the waves of the sea;
Little care l, as here l sit cheerily,
Wife at my side, and my baby on knee.
King, king, crown me the king:
Home is the kingdom, and Love is the kingl
Flashes the frelight upon the dear faces,
Dearer and dearer, and onward We 60,
Forces the shadow behind US, and places
Brightness around US with warmth in the glow.
King. king, crown me the king:
Home is the kingdom, and Love is the kingl
Flashes the lovelight, increasing the glory,
Beaming from bright eyes with warmth of the

Telling of trust and content the sweet story,
Lifting the shadows that over US roll.
King, king, crown me the king:
Home is the kingdom, and Love is the king!
Richer than miser with perishing treasure
Served with a service no conquest could bring;
Happy with fortune that words cannot measure,
Light-hearted on the hearthstone can sing.
King, king, crown me the king:
Home is the kingdom, and Love is the kingl
