Prepared to Sacrifice Herself.
WASHINGTON Correspondence.


One of the most amusing stories told
here recently, is that where dress for
a Japanese countess was ordered from
abroad by an ambassadors wife. The
box came, and when opened disclosed
a skirt with very long train. and few
loose yards of wide sash ribbon. The
countess and her friends sat around the
box and had endless talks about the
new gown and how those yards OF sash
ribbon were to be tied over her to make
a waist. AS the ambassador wife was
celebrated for the scantiness Of her cor
sage at balls, they finally settled it that
this was the latest fashion, and that
Paris ordained only the belt and not the
ehoulder-straps any longer. Before she
put this decision into effect a second
box came, containing the waist of the
gown and many apologies from the head
of the establishment for the stupidity
of his packers. The most correctly
dressed of these Japanese ladies now
delight in telling amusing stories of their
troubles and mistakes with foreign dress.

Synptoms Of Catarrh.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the
nasal passages, discharges falling from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse
watery and acrid, at others thick, tenacious,
mucous. purulent, bloody and putrid; the
eyes are weak, watery and infamed; there
is ringing in the ears deafness, hacking or
coughing to clear the throat, expectoration
Of offensive matter, together with scabs from
ulcers; the voice is changed and has nasal
twang; the breath is offensive; smell and
taste are impaired; there is a sensation of
dizziness, with mental depression, hack
ing cough and general debility If you
have all, or any considerable number of
these symptoms, you are suffering from
Nasal Catarrh. The more complicated your
disease has become the greater the number
and diversity of symptoms. Thousands of
cases annually, without manifesting half of
the above symptoms, result in consumption
and end in the grave. No disease is SO COM
mon, more deceptive and dangerous, or less
understood, or more nnsuccessfully treated
by physicians. Five hundred dollars re-
ward is offered by the manufacturers of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy for case of catarrh
which they cannot cure. Remedy sold by

Victor Hugo as an Artist.
Paris Cor. New York Times.

rails COT. New 1OTk lines.
Victor Hugo is taking all the laurels
from the Salon. His relatives have col
lected all his drawings and many other
intimate souvenirs of his talent in an
artistic line, and these are being eXhib-
tied in the Petit Gallery. 1t was IA
vorite theory of the poet that he could
have been great artist. 1t is curious
to note how little attention the artist
gave TO color or the kind of material he
used. The drawings show that he
made use of anything, from an ink bot
tie to the yellow stain of coffee and
milk; from pen and pencil to a blunt
stick dipped in mud and water, and out
of this ready hand material he made
some marvellous delineations la Dole
of his own creations. He had no
school and nothing to follow but his
own cleverness and originality. On the
margin of manuscripts be has given his
own idea Of what image they should
create and define, and in many cases
they are careful illustrations, wonderful
always, and stamped with indelible
strength. From drawings he turned to
frame making and wood carving, in the
latter evidently inclining to the intri-
cate and minute Weirdness of Japanese
ideas. There are about $50 drawings, be-
ginning with small sepia sketches and
growing into large pen-and-ink illus
trations-Gothic castles, rude moated
oranges, knights, cathedrals, wondrous
cities of dreamland, and innumerable
sea-views purely imaginative. There
are many caricatures with legends like
the one of the bourgeois trying to de-
eide about the existence of God, and
another to tell how a judge anathema-
tied the idea of abolishing capital pun
ishment

Kissed the Wrong Girl.

FIUM LUE CT. JUIlH ItIegIHpH.
A young man we'll known about town
made an eventful call upon young lady
few evenings ago, and 1t is said that he
is not likely to "call again for some
time to come. It appears that he was
very we'll acquainted with the pretty
servant girl who generally answers the
door bell, though he wouldn't have his
friends know it for the world. On the
evening in question he rang the bell and
then stepped behind the door that re-
mains stationary and waited. Present
ly head appeared around the door
and the young man leaned forward and
impressed kiss upon the fair ones lips.
A shrek followed. The young matt
thought he kissed the hired girl-but n
was the hostess.

Disinfecting Books.

The danger of infection from the use

for their disinfection. The principal
on which distinction is based is the
vaporization Of carbolic acid by heat
whereby 1t is claimed that its action is
more potent. Heat $ applied to the
