A COURT BALL.

BrilIiancy of the Scene as Depicted by an
American Visitor.
Never shall 1 forget the sight which
greeted me as we entered, writes Win
nifred Grant, in Home and Country. A
long walk between two lines of people
led to the further end of the room,
where 1 saw slender man, in the uni
form of the Austrian hussars, and a
sweet-faced lady in a court costume
that fairly blazed with Jewels, sur
rounded by ladies and gentlemen in
waiting, all gorgeously attired. The
brilliancy of the countless crystal gas
lights from the huge chandeliers, the
superb uniforms, wealth of sparkling
Jewels on all sides, and the magnificent
gowns, all completed picture of daz-
zling beauty, never to be forgotten. 1
was diplly aware of the fact that the
countess had again given our names to
some official, who repeated them to the
master of ceremonies, handing him the
cards. Not visiting cards, mind you,
but huge things with our names so
clearly written as to defy mistake. We
had dropped our trains on entering the
room, and they were Immediately spread
out to their full width and length by
ushers with long wands.
Then we slowly marched up the
room, and after our names had been
announced to their majesties, we each
stepped forward and courtesied, or
bowed, almost to the floor. Then we
backed away, keeping our faces toward
the royal party, until we reached the
end of the room, where we stopped to
breathe for minute. 1 had been pre-
sented, and lived, and was grateful.
Presently there was movement in
the lines of guests, and at the same
moment hidden orchestra began a
majestic polonaise. The guests moved
towards the sides of the room, leaving
the center cleared, and, headed by two
ushers with slaves, the royal party
slowly marched around the ballroom
and then retired. His majesty's ball
had been formally opened.

NIarvelohs results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, Of Dimondale, Mich, we are
permitted to make this extract: "I have
no hesitation in recommending DR..
Kings New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of my
wife. While was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Rivers junction she was
sbrought down with Pneumonia succeed
zing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours with little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recon-

Location of the Memory.

The memory remains intact and in
perfect working order in cases where
the left side of the brain is badly dis
eased or even if portions of it have
been removed. From this the natural
inference is that the right side of the
brain is the seat of that most remark
able faculty. Lieut.. Brady, who lost
a portion of the right side of the brain
from gunshot wound while in Assam,
where two-thirds of the officials are
negroes, suffered a remarkable lapse
of memory. After he had fully recov-
cred he knew and could call by name
all his white associates, but the ne
groes, whom he formerly knew as well
as the whites, were perfect strangers
to him,

a Happy Settlement.

The late Lord Denman, on being re-
minded by halter that small ac-
count was Overdue" visited the shop
and gave the manager legal reply to
the request for payment. ''You state, -
he said, solemnly, as he stood over him,
shaking his finger at him, ''that this
account is overdue. Remember that a
bill of exchange or bill of acceptance
may become overdue, but a trades
mans account never. A gentleman
pays when he thinks he will or when
he has the money. But to show that
no ill-feeling exists, I will pay the ac-
count and take another hat"

of Mckay, Ohio. is of the opinion that
there is nothing as good as children
troubled with colds or, Group as
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has
used it in his family for several years
with the best results and always kept a
bottle of it in the house. After having

without benefit and then concluded to
try the children's medicine and to his

A Big Corn Yield.

The largest crop of corn ever pro.
duced on one acre, according to the
Charleston News and Courier, was that
raised by farmer in Marlboro county,
S. c., in 1892. A prize of one thousand
dollars was offered for the largest
yield on an acre, and this farmer chose
piece of worn-out piney woods, sandy
land, to which he applied more than a
thousand dollars worth of fertilizers.
The season was favorable and the cul-
tfvator was kept going almost con
stantly. The stand became SO thick
and heavily burdened with ears that
fences had to be built to sustain it.
When the crop was gathered it meas
ured within peck of two hundred and
fifty-five bushels and carried off the
prize, which the farmer richly deserved,
for it takes valiant man to spend
more than thousand dollars to enrich
a single acre.

afternoon. Ii gave a free concert, and
if its motive was to attract attention TO

composed the outfit could have been

themselves
The dozen or so of hardened looking
wreiches who comprised the band be
came angry At a crowd of children who
followed them throwing snow balls and
having their innocent fun, and stopping
the team directly in front of the Bes-
semer Fair, several of the gang got
down of of the bus and made an attack
on the youngsters, scattering them in
all directions One boy who was view
ing the incident from on horseback was
taken to task on the alleged ground
that he called to one of the boys 10

for abuse. One of the Standard thugs
twice threw rock al his head and
struck at him, in the meantime using
language that need not be repeated
here He WAS joined by others OF his
gang and for time it looked as If they
would make combined attack on the
boy.
Before getting back on the bus they
gathered upa lot of rocks which they
carried along with them. While the
loud talk and uncalled for threats was
going on one viilianous looking in

top of the bus and invited some one to

FroA Balsiaors to bordsauI.
A remarkable adventure Of hard
ship coupled with human endurance
was related to Baltimore Sun man
by Captain Evans, OF the British
steamship William Aiming. which
arrived some days ago with iron ore
from St Jsgo, Cuba The case oc-
CURED upon the trip between Balti-
more and Bordeaux. France. The
Aiming sailed from Baltimore with q
full cargo OF wheat On the sixteenth
day out the chief officer reported to
Captain Evans that there were
strange sounds in No 3. hatch, which
could be heard at intervals. The
sounds continued until all on board
were more or less impressed with the
necessity OF investigating what were
thought by some to be spirit rap
pings, as all conceded that no human
being could be in the small space be-
tween the bagged wheat and the
iron deck above. At last Captain
Evans decided to investigate. The
battens and tarpaulins were removed
Suddenly an emaciated man, who
looked like maniac, struggled on
deck. He looked about and then
made rush for the ships side, pant
ing like a person who is driven wild
by thirst Seeing that the cool water
Of the sea had allured the man, Cap
tain Evans ordered his crew to seize
him. Then water was given the man
in small quantities, Notwithstanding
his piteous appeals for more. Bran
dy and water were also administered

mans story and recorded his name.
home and age in case he should die
before reaching land. He said he
belonged to Denmark and had slowed
away on the Aiming in Baltim ore.
When he hid in the hold he had one
loaf Of bread and 3 small can Of water
which he thought would be
sufficient until the vessel reached
sea. when he intended to come from
his hiding place. To his astonish-
ment, when the hatch was fastened
he saw his last chance for liberty cut
on. and he made the voyage IN the
dark under the most terrible sus-
pense and agony. Much that he told
Captain Evans OF his experience was
awful TO hear. He had probably
tasted the whole time, except the
first day OF his imprisonment He
tried to eat wheat from the cargo,
but his mouth produced no saliva
and he could not masticate the grain.
Captain Evans kindly cared for the
man When Bordeaux was reached
he went ashore with the determine
tion to walk to his home in Denmark.
Captain Evans thinks II he could
spend seventeen days in the ships
hold he would be equal to the task
before him.
