of his engagement to the Dowager Duchess
of Manchester has revived the gossip about
the couple. which tickled London society
before the sheep-raising Duke of Manches-
ter retired from the Upper House, 'tis to be
hoped, to one yet higher, last year. Lord
Harrington paid the Duchess, whose por-
trait appears nearby, a good deal of atten-
tion before she lost her lord. and widows
weeds doubtless have not made her any less
attractive.
She is lively woman with q strong
liking for English country life, with its
hunting and open air existence generally.
Both she and her sister, the Empress of
Austria, are renowned as ,cross-country
riders. Perhaps it was this love for horses
and the saddle that brought Lord Harting-
ton to her feet, for he has ALWAYS shown a
keen interest in the turf, and has even kept
racing stable without winning the blue
ribbon of the Bankruptcy court. The
Dowager Duchess is lucky to be able to in
dulge her taste for dukes twice in a life
time, and her good fortune is more unusual
still in getting such good-natured, honest
gentleman as the Duke of Devonshire for
husband No. q

pictoriai and Dramatic Art Welded.

Hans Holbein, the younger, when he was
painting the 81 portraits which hang in the
galleries of Windsor Castle, could never
have dreamed that they would furnish a
mere play-actor with designs for a theatre
cal representation of the court of his
patron, Bluff King Hal A miracle play
or the rude comedy of court Jester GER
tainly never suggested to the great German
painter that his art could have anything in
common with things theatrical. Yet from
Rolbein's portraits Of the lords and ladies
of Henry Wills court all the costumes
and armor used by Henry Irving in his
magnificent revival of Shakespeare's Henry
VIII. have been copied. 1t would have as
tonished honest Hans to see such distin-
guished artists as Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour
Lucas designing the costumes for actors, or
''mummers," as he would probably have
contemptuously termed them.
The costumes themselves are probably
finer that the originals, for the damask for
the dresses has been specially woven, and
the gold and silver issue used in one of
King Henry's dresses cost no less than $50
yard! Ali London is talking about the
splendor of this the latest of Irving's many
Shakespearian revivals, and the pictorial
seems to have rather cast the dramatic art
in the shade, for the critics don't say very
much shout the actors, and some of the
little said is not complimentary to the
gifted Henry and the adorable Ellen Terry,
who plays katherine" at the Lyeeum.
By the way, people are prone to forget
Henry Wills patronage of the arts. Hol-
bein found good living and plenty of
honors at Henry's court when his native
land was too much taken up with religious
reform to care whether painter starved or
not. The fact that the 81 portraits referred
to above were all painted between 1928 and
1543, and were only tithe of his work in
that period, shows that Holbein repaid his
patrons with hard work. The painter was
engaged in immortalizing Henry in the act
of confirming the privileges of the Barber
surgeons when his fatal illness overlook
him

HUNTING GEMS IN RUSSIA.
rlnany's Expert Had Trouble, for omcers

Tlnany's Expert Had Trouble, for Omcers
Thought Him Another Kennan-
Mr.. George F. Kunz, Tiffany's expert In
gems, has Just returned from the famous
platinum mines at Nisjne-Tagilsk, on the
eastern frontier Of European Russia, where
he went for the purpose Of procuring
precious stones such as are dug up in
great numbers and of many sorts from
the placer workings. Precious stones,
being heavy, naturally find their way to the
bottom of the surface gravel together with
the platinum, and thus they are dug out
with the dirt which carries the metal It is
for the same reason that gems are apt to be
discovered where gold is mined, as Is the
case with the new sapphires in Montana
Unfortunately for these sapphires, they ara
not of the usual color Although real ones,
instead of being a true blue, they are OF
various tints, such as green, greenish blue,
greenish brown, greenish yellow and even
pure white. Thus it seems probable
that the syndicate which is investing
millions of dollar, in them will lose its
money for want of a market.
Among the semi-precious stones obtained
from the platinum placers described are
wonderful quartz crystals, the carving OF
which into the shape of nautilus shells and
other forms is performed with marvellous
art in Russia. Much difficulty was expert
enced by Mr.. Kunz in securing admission
to the mines, because the Russian suthori-
ties have become excessively cautious re-
specting strangers since Mr.. Kennan's 8 visit.
Amy foreigner caught sketching is peremp-
torily given a certain number of hours to
leave the country.

"The unnatural motions of the
stomach causing pressure and belch-

the inhamed mucous membranes, are
the most fruitful of all known causes
of disease.
"Out of them grow most kidney

rheumatic affections and gout.
have found that the unnatural motions
of the stomach cease, the intestinal
troubles become soothed, and health
results from the use of Carlsbad
Waters or Sprudel Salts. The diu-
retic effect of these remedies, itsquiet
action upon the lining of the stomach,
and its healing power upon the in
famed iutestines are beyond all
praise"

During the winter of 1891 nd nv fam
lily of six were taken with the la grippe. The
disease was very prevalent at that time in
the village where I resided, nearly every
one being sick with it. Our doctors treated
it as best they could, but were very unsuc-
cessful in their treatment of it. As soon
as my family we're taken sick went to the
drugstore and bought six bottles of Pc
ru-na, and we all took it according to the
directions given on the bottle; and, al
though our cases seemed to be more than
usually violent in the outset, yet our recov-
cry was prompt, and we were all we'll much
sooner than those who were treated
by the regular physician. In the begin
ming of the attack we all had violent
cough, bleeding at the nose and splitting of
blood, but the Pe-ru-na promptly relieved
us, and we took no other medicine during
our sickness. Many people died of the la
grippe during this epidemic. and few, if
any, were sick so short time as myself
and family. After We were all sound and
well again We still had one bottle of Pc
ru-na left in the house.
1 can cheerfully recommend the Pe-ru-na
as cure for the Ia grippe and general family
medicine. I shall not be without Pe-ru-na
in my house again unless I am absolutely
unable to get it.
I will answer any letters of inquiry from
any one wishing to know more of the par
ticulars G. 7. HATFIELD
The above is the unsolicited testimony of
an honest laboring man. He did exactly
what hundreds of other parents have done,
and what hundreds of others are doing and
what hundreds of hundreds will do as
soon as they find out the value of Pe-ru-na
as family medicine. Not only did Mr..
Hatfield save money by resorting to Pc
ru-na, but his family recovered much sooner
and more perfectly than those treated in
the ordinary way.
The fact is, there is no equal to Pe-ru-na
for la grippe, catarrh (acute or chronic),
coughs, colds, bronchitis and consumption
in the early stages. Pe-ru-na is the pre-
scription of a renowned physician who has
been in constant practice over 35 years. and
this remedy has been used in four epiden,-
les of la grippe previous to this one with
undertaking success. Complete directions
accompany each bottle, and is kept by most
druggists.

Plimmer's Glass as . Bantnm

Only q Few words need be said aDout Pi1m-
mer's class as a baneam fighter or boxer
either. In a real old-time fight Plimmer
could defeat dozen Hogans per day, and it
is not surprising that he could not finish
Hogan completely with gloves in eight
rounds. Both men were very light, and
knockout blows were therefore scarce be-
fore either's wind gave way. Hogan, while
not in Plimmer'5 class as lighter was
strong and. stood the onslaught with re-
markable lasting powers. But his staying
there was only a question of time. Eight
rounds were too short. Hogan is undoubt-
edly the best amateur boxer OF his class in
the country, and Plimmer is so much his
superior that without hesitation it may be
said that Plimmer is one of the best, if not
the best, ban tam fighter in the world.
But there was one thing particularly about
the contest that must have caused every
patron OF the "manly art" to wonder, viz:
Who told Hogan to lead off every time? In
the absence of O very definite explanation
those who thus guided him seem to have
done the very wort thing possible. Indeed
it was shch singular thing for Hogan to do
against man like thinner that it is worthy

Delights of the Mediterranean.
A picture grand and lovely was in the
west as we entered the Mediterranean Sea-
the mare internum' of the ancients. The

feecy clouds touched with dazzling colors.

lost. There was inexpressible charm in the
quiet scintillant sea, and the soft low wind
that gave the CLASSY space about us silken
ripple. Hours passed and we were off the
Moorish coast, and knew that Malaga was
at the head of the indentation in the coast
across which we were streaming, and that
the land the Moors have mourned for 400
years was behind the Sierra, whose spurs
were visible in the northeast
Next the attraction was a mountain range

the sun withdrew its glories and sank in an
abyss OF beauty, the moon took up the tale,
and the wake of the ship was a broad river

dreamers OF delight in an enchanted ocean.
There was an atmosphere of tender light.
The ship was caressed by the brilliant
waters through which the steady screw,
whose task seemed no longer one of strug-
gle and anxiety, drove her with ceaseless
energy; and if may be pardoned for speak
ing OF the stars again, they never lent to
gentler scene a kindlier illumination, and
