our ministrations of charity as the
work of hearts truly grateful and as
proofs of the security of our thanks
giving.
"Witness my hand and the seal of
United States which have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
on the first day of November in the
year of our Lord, 1894, and of the in
dependence of the Union one hun

Her Health Was Shattered, Hoods
Cured,

Five years ago my wife had very
severe attack of inflammatory rheu-
matism. After while she was able
to go about her home duties but it
left her in very weak condition.
She was so nervous that she would
start at the least noise. She could
not sleep and did not relish her food,
in fact, she was completely run down.
Medical aid produced but very little
benefit and | purchased four bottles
of Hoods Sarsaparilla. After she
commenced taking the second bottle
she began to gain and she has contin-
ued to improve ever since. She can
now sleep as we'll as she ever could,
has a good appetite and her nerves
are strong. She says she owes her
life to Hoods Sarsaparilla and she
cheerfully recommends it to all who
are afflicted" I. S. Beatty, Piedmont,

An amusing story is told of the late
Frank Buckland. 1t is said that he rare
ly wore a greatcoat, and when he did SO
it was more for the value of the addition
al pockets it contained than for warmth.
On one occasion he had been to France
and was returning via Southampton with
an overcoat stuffed with natural history
specimens of all sorts dead and alive
Among them was a monkey, which was
domiciled in large inside breast pocket.
AS auckland was taking his ticket Jocko
thrust up his head and attracted the at
tention of the booking clerk, who imme-
diately said, "You must take ticket for
that dog if it's going with you"
"Dog" said Buckland. Its no dog
It's monkey"
ITS dog" replied the clerk.
"It's monkey rctorted Buokland
and he proceeded to show the whole ami
NAL, but without convincing the clerk
who insisted on shillings for the dog
ticket to London.
Plunging his hand into another pocket
and producing tortoise, Buckland said,
Perhaps Sou'n call this dog too?''
No." said the clerk; I've make no
charge for them. They re insects. Tit

EMPEROR OF RUSSIA DEAD.

Alexander III, Superior Of all the
Russias, died on the afternoon OF
November LIST, 1894, after a lingering
illness.
Alexander III, emperor of all the
Russias, who succeeded to the throne
on the murder of his father by nihilist
conspirators on March 13, 1891, was
born March 10, 1916.
For some time after the elevation
to the throne he seldom appeared in
public but lived in the closest retire
ment at Gatchina. being in constant
dread of the Vaccinations of the secret
societies of socialists.
His coronation took place at Mos
COW May 27th 1888.
He married in 1866, Marie Feodor-
vnalformerly Mary Sophia Frederica
lDagmar), daughter of Christian TX,
king of Denmark, and sister of the
princess of Wales, and the king of
Greece.
The principal concern of the car
was to put down nihilism; to develop
the military power of Russia, to or
ganize her Asiatic and Caucasian
provinces, and to keep a steady eye
on Constantinople.
From the beginning of his reign pc
riodical attempts upon his life were
made by the nihilists.
Twice officers in his own army tried
to shoot him. In 1888 he and his fami-
ly narrowly escaped death in a rail
way accident near Borki.
The train was thrown from the track
and many passengers were killed, but
the imperial party was badly injured.
The derailing of the train was sup
posed to be the work of nihilists.
Last spring plot was formed in
Finland to blow up the castle which
the czar was expected to occupy dur
ing the fall manoeuvers around Smo-
lensk. The police are still busy hunt
ing down the conspirators.
The ear was deeply religious. He
was under the influence of Pododonos-
zeff, attorney general of the holy
synod and his group, and prosecuted
the Jews, Catholics and German Lu-
therans in Russia without cessation
or mercy.
He inherited with his minister of
foreign affairs, Prince Gortschakoff, a
strong prejudice against the Germans,
which was increased by che agitation
of the Pan-Slavist war party in his
capital. Nevertheless he held fast to
a peace policy.
Last yearhe reached an understand
ing with France during the visit of
the Russian fleet at Toulon and ever
since Russia and France have been
as constituting a dual alli- !
ance, cOunterbalancing on the CONT
nent, the power of the triple alliance.
Nothing has been published, how
ever, to show that any formal agree
ment between the two powers was
sned or that the czar pledged Rus
sia to help France in recovering
Alsace and Lorraine from Germany.
The czar left five children, the
crown Prince Nicholas, 27 years old;
the Grand Duke George, now ill in
the South of Russia; the Grand
Duchesses Xenia and Olga and the
Grand Duke Michael, a boy in his
teens.
