There was a box party at the National
theatre the other afternoon which at
tracted fully as much attention as Herr
mann himself. In the box at the right
of the stage sat the Chinese minister and
the male members of his suite, and in
the adjoining box were the ladies Of the
legation. 1t was the first time the latter
nave made their appearance at a place
of amusement in this country, and their
rich gowns and peculiar headdresses
were the admiration of all the fair sex at
the matinee. To add to the novelty Of
the occasion, in the boxes opposite were
the members OF the Corean embassy, in
GLIDING the minister and his wife. The
feats of legerdemain were apparently
very much appreciated. When a live
duck was evolved from a mass Of fluffy
white paper, the Corean minister and the
ladies Of the Chinese legation could not
remain in their chairs, but rose and fol-
lowed the movements Of the web footed
comedian until il disappeared behind the
wings.-Washington Letter.

In ancient times the workers in metals
and other substances handed their secrets
down from generation TO generation, and
in time some Of them were lost. These
are the ''lost arts" 80 often mentioned,
which are simply lost family secrets.
From the Fifth to the Sixteenth century
was the age of fabulous pretensions in
alchemy, when every discovery was kept
a profound secret, thus making the time
one of almost total ignorance.
The old alchemists sometimes used
good logic in their arguments rs to the
existence of the philosophers stone, and
all alchemy was not the fraud that mod
ern people would think. There were
some good, honest workers in the ranks,
searchers after the truth, as well as the
knaves that are to be found in every
trade and every branch Of life.
There was one monk living in the Mid
die Ages who made a specially Of anti
mony. Thinking it to be the great cure
all he first tried some of it ON his hogs
and the beasts fattened so hat he thought
that it must be good for human beings.
So he gave it to his brethren with fatal
results. This is supposed to be the reason
why the metal is called "antimony,
from its bad effect on monks.
There are alchemists of today just as
dishonest as those Of old, men who swim
die and cheat others with tricks that are
almost as primitive as those used by their
predecessors in the crooked art. They
have only changed their forms of delu-
sion and have struck for higher wages

decided Semitic features called at the
box-oillce and asked for Mr.. Curtis.
The polite ticket-seller told her that the
gentleman was on the stage getting
ready for the matinee. The girl. how
ever. seemed so anxious to see Curtis
that the obliging young man in the
box-oflice. seeing it was early. sent
around to the stage door for the jolly
comedian. Curtis quickly responded,
and, on seeing the young lady, sup
posed it was the usual request for
tickets and that the lady was pro-

her in his suavest manner: would

Talking of patent medicine

AdiklllS OF patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be.
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
everytAsmg and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in every.
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.
