Yes, he could have his girl and have his
earldom, too; that question was a fortunate
stroke.

''That question had harmless look, but
what was back of it?-what was the secret
motive of it?-what suggested it?"
The shady devil had knitted her, and could
retire now and take rest; the wound
would attend to business for him. And it
did.
Why should Howard Tracy ask that
question? If he was not marrying her for
the sake of her rank, what should suggest
that question to him? Didn't he plainly
look gratifed when she said her objections
to aristocracy had their limitations? All,
he is after that earldom, that gilded sham
it isn't poor me he wants.
So She argued, in anguish and tears.
Then she argued the opposite theory, but
made a weak, poor business of it, and lost
the case. She kept the arguing up, one
side and then the other, the rest Of the
night, and at last fell asleep in the dawn;
fell in the fire at dawn. one might say, for
that kind of sleep resembles fire, and one

NEW COATING FOR METALS
Cottonseed United With Lead Will Resist
Weather and Water

Cottonseed United With Lead Will Resist
Weather and Water.
The new coating for metals, based on the
remarkable adaptability of cottonseed to
unite with lead, has, after thorough test,
been found to give surprising results in re-
sisting the effects of weather and water Five
liters of cottonseed oil are placed in me-
tallic vessel and ten Kilograms of lead are
melted separately in an iron ladle. When
the lead is molten, which requires temper
ature of about $3.50, it is poured gradually
into the oil, and stirred about so thoroughly
that every particle of the lea1 is sub
jected to the action of the oil The
mixture is then allowed to cool When the
oil is poured off the lead is found at the
bottom, but reduced in weight to 85 kilo-
grams, the remaining ~ Kilograms bav-
ing been absorbed by the oil The residue
at the bottom of the vessel is again submit
ted to the process of heating and stirring,
which is continued five times, after which
the maximum impregnation of five kilo-
grams is obtained.
When quite cold the oil has the appear
ance of thick varnish, and is ready for ap-
plication. either with brush or sponge.
This coating unites quickly and firmly with
any material The first coat should be al
lowed to dry 4S hours before the second is
administered.

The DOSE OF -QUININE

1t Depends on the Disease ana tho Habits
of the Patient.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
The quantity of quinine which some peo-
pie can take without trouble is so great as
to be almost wonderful. There are manv
people who think 4 grains is dose, and
very few people ever take more than from
10 to IL grains at one time. Even then the
latter dose is apt to cause unpleasant sensa-
tious, such as buzzing sound in the ears
and sort of dull, heavy feeling next
morning.
Yet cases have been known where the
patient had as much as 100 grains of qulnine
in him and did not suffer from the effects
OF course, such doses can be administered
only in extreme cases, where the fever is
very high and heroic measures are neces-
sary. You know that a person suffering
with great physical pain can safely take
doses of morphine which would kill a we'll
man, and people with high fever can

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA!
AS DESCRIBED IN A POPULAR LECT-
URE
By Dr. S. B. Hartman at the Surgical Hotel,
Columbus. O.
REPORTED FOR THE PRESS.

Catarrhal dyspepsia is a disease which, in
some degree, affects thousands of people,
and is the result of chronic catarrhal in
fiammation of the stomach or the duodenum
The catarrhal state NAV have been brought
about by irritating foods or poisons, iDtem-
perate use of alcoholic drinks, or catarrh of
the throat extending into the stomach. In
either case the result is the same, namely,
chronic catarrh of the lining membrane of
the stomach. This state leads to diminished
quantity of the digestive fluids, or else to a
vitiated quality Of them.
The symptoms of this particular variety
of catarrh are more painful and damaging
to health than catarrh of any other organ.
Food taken into the stomach at once pro-
duces pain or heavy feeling. As soon as
the stomach is empty there is gnawing pain
accompanied by belching of gas. The
tongue and throat Look red and angry, with
sometimes patches of white coating. The
peculiar character of catarrhal dyspepsia, as
distinguished from the other varieties, is
pain, but if it is complicated, as is frequently
the case, with the other kinds of dyspepsia,
the symptoms will vary. No kind of food
agrees with the stomach, but some kinds
cause less uneasiness than others The
bowels may be loose, constipated or irregu-
lar The introduction of food into the
stomach often causes an immediate passage
of the bowels.
For this condition fad Pe-ru-na to be
an admirable remedy. In all cases it brings
prompt relief to the painful symptoms, and
in large per cent of the cases it makes
permanent cure. Pe-ru-na soothes the in
famed mucous surface, and thus strikes at
the root of the disease. In cases where the
inflammation has been so severe and con-
'tinued as to produce extreme irritability of
the stomach, the remedy may be taken in
small doses at first, diluted in water; but, as
soon as the improvement is sufficient to
permit the full dose to be taken undiluted,
it is better way, and the cure is much
more rapid. In catarrh of the head, throat
and lungs, Pe-ru-na excels all other rem
edies. There is no other medicine that SO
perfectly restores the victim of Ia grippe,
either In Its acute stage or in its after ef-
fects
A valuable pamphlet of '32 pages, setting
forth in detail the treatment Of catarrh,
coughs colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
consumption, in every phase of the disease,
win be sent free to any address by the Pc
ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co.. of Colum-
bus, o. This book should be in every
household, As 1t contains great deal Of re-
liable information as to the cure and pre-
vention Of all catarrhal and kindred dis
eases

Whatever Georges personal preferences
may have been in the past, he is not likely
to have any future trouble in the matter Of
selection, from this on. Avery careful and
solicitous royal grandmother has consider
ately taken charge of all the details
and all that George will have to do
is to step up to the altar and be made one,
two or the Irishman's half dozen, as the case
might be, with some scion of royalty with
whom, perhaps, he has previously not had
the pleasure of a speaking acquaintance.
Of course, the royal grandmother insists
that she really does not interfere, excepting
so far as demanding that the Princess
name shall be the same as her own. Victoria
holds very fixed opinions on this point.
She loses no opportunity of perpetuating
her own name. The royal consent has
been given on many occasions to bestow the
decorations, flowers, vehicles, ETC., and it is
quite generally known that when the Duke
Of Clarence engaged himself to marry the
Princess of Teck, it was not long before
pretty "May" was warped into heavy, hard
sounding "Victoria."
The same sort of favoritism caused the re-
cent exaltation of common nurse in the
queens apartments, who happened to be so
named, high above any of her companions,
and now when it has been determined that
George must marry and that right away, the
eligible princesses have gradually reduced
themselves to two, both Of whom are named
'Victoria. /" Victoria OF Schleswig- -Holstein
is English by birth and sister of the Prin-
cess Louise, whose marriage to Prince Ari-
bert of Anhalt was one of the sensations of
last year. Victoria of Hesse was also born
in England, but has dwelt the most of her
life in the German province ruled by her
father, whose dangerous illness was an
nounced during the past week. She is said
to be charming young woman of ex-
cellent education and high order of intelli-

being fortified with such precautions il
would take quite large force to reduce the

It offers one great advantage, if the
French choose to take it. 1t is situated
upon deep gulf of the Mediterranean and
/ at the mouth of lagoon, connected with
the gulf by narrow channel. Its port was
formerly one of the best on the Mediter-
ranean, but has gradually filled up until
now only small vessels can enter. Should
the French take the trouble to clear it, they
would be able to shelter an entire feet
from direct attack They might not be able
to use it as rallying point as Agatbocles
did, but it would certainly give them an ex-
cellent vantage point on the Mediterranean
that could be used with telling effect in case
of war,

The Romans or on Their Dates.

1t is reported that the three hundredth
anniversary of the death of Torquato Tasso
will be celebrated with great ceremony in
Rome this year. If the Romans paid as
much attention to their dates as they evil

attract greater and more general interest.
There does not seem to be the slightest diff
ference of opinion among biosraphers that
Tasso died in 1896, consequently the
Romans celebration of his demise, if the
report concerning it be true, antedates the
event by three years.

Grip With a New Complication.

A new kind of grip" or influenza, has
arisen to terrify the Hungarians. Recently
in the prison at Agram, a town of $4,000 in
habitants in Hungary, the doctor noticed
that some of the prisoners who were suf-
fering from influenza, or what is popularity
called here 'the grip" showed symptoms
which were new and alarming. First, the
patient would be seized with shivering and
fever alternately, together with cramp in
the stomach The pain was so intense that
delirium usually set in, and in the case of
women Mysteries. After the first attack
the patient generally tainted away or fell
to the ground exhausted. So violent were
the convulsions and delirious attacks of the
prisoners that a dozen jailers had to be
tolled off at one time to attend to those suf-
fering from the complaint
1t is supposed by some that this is new
epidemic, but the doctors sent by the Aus
trian Government to Investigate the out
break are inclined to think that it is Ga
grippe" supplemented bya nervous dis
order arising from the depressing influence
Of imprisonment Luckily, the approach
of warm weather renders it unlikely that
the grip in its new shape will reach this
country. The original disease is quite suf-
ficient for our needs. W. G. KAUFMANN.

Sir Morell Mackenzie kept q framed
letter on the wall of his Office. 1t is in
English thus:
CHARLoTTENHURG, April 10. 1888.
MY DEAR SIR MoRELL-You were called to
me by the unanimous wish of my German
medical attendants. Not knowing you my
self. had confidence in You in consequence
to appreciate you from personal experience
You have rendered me most valuable serv-
ices, in recognition of which, and in remem-
have the pleasure to confer on you the
cross and Star OF my Royal Order Of Hohen-
Zollern. Yoars truly, FREDERICK.
In MAY, 1887, DR.. Macken z lie was sum
moned to Berlin to attend the Crown Prince
On the 2Sth of the following August, Queen
Victoria wrote from Balmoral Castle to her
royal son-in-law:
DEAR FR1rz-I shall have much pleasure
in comforting knighthOod on the physician
who has rendered you and us such great
services; for DR.. Morel Mackenzie has
indeed treated you with the greatest skill.
The letter, from which the foregoing is
but an extract, was given to Sir Morell by
the Emperor. 1t is written in German, and
signed: "Always your affectionate mother,
r. Y. ]"
The breastpin which Sir Morell Mac
kenzie often wore belonged to the same cat
egory and had curious history. 1t is in
diamonds, forming the figure 80, surmounted
with a crown set in pearls. 1t is one of the
few identical in value and design that the
Queen had made in celebration of her jubilee
year. She presented one to each of her
children, their husbands and wives The
late Emperor received one, and when he
died the Empress sent it to Sir Morell
Mackenzie with note saying she would
like him to keep and wear it, since it had
been particularly precious to her husband.

The most skillful pearl divers in the
world are those of the Tuamotu Archi-
pelago. They think nothing of staying un-
der water for three minutes on occasions,
and they carry no weights to drag them
down to the depths, as do the fishermen of
Ceylon. Unlike the latter, they do not
stop their ears and nostrils with cotton
soaked with oil, but descend with no other
preparation than a few infations of their
lungs. However, they do wear sort of
headdress with spectacles of glass, by the
aid of which they are able to look down
many fathoms into the clear water and
mark the oysters which they propose to
gather. Forty years ago it was possible to
buy with a gallon of rum or few handfuls
