When King Stanislaus, of Poland,
then young man, came back from a
journey, the whole Lescinskian house
gathered together at LISA to receive
him. The schoolmaster, Jablowsky,
prepared a festival in commemoration
of the event, and had it end with a
ballet performed by thirteen students,
dressed as cavaliers. Each had a shield
upon which one Of the letters of the
words, "Domus Lescinia" (The Lescins-
khan House,, was written in gold.
After the first dance, they stood in
such a manner that their shields read
"Domus Lescinia;" after the second
dance, they changed order, making it
read, "Ades incolumis" (Unarmed art
thou here; after the third, "Mane sidus
loci Continue the star of this place.;
after the fourth, isis columna Del"
(Be pillar of Cod; and finally, 81!
scande solium" 60! ascend the
throne). Indeed, these two words allow
of 1856, Use, 200 transpositions; yet that
four them convey Independent and ap-
propriate meanings is certainly very
curious.

A GORGEOUS PALANOUIN.
Built for a West African Chief to Ride

Built for a West African Chief to Ride
In.
A Birmingham firm has Just COM
pleted a palanquin which firm trad
Ing in central Africa intends as a pres
ent for native chief The body of the
vehicle consists of a spring mattress
supported on a frame, which is carried
by pair of Lakewood shafts sixteen
1eet long. The mattress is jointed, and
there is well in the center of the We
hlcles so that the occupant of the pal
anquln may adopt a sitting, reclining
or recumbent attitude, the couch
being cushioned with thick horsehair
cushions, upholstered in silk tabouret.
The canopy, consisting of fine blue
cloth curtains with a gold and silk
border and festoons of terra Gotta
silk, has a pyramidal roof, surmount-
ed by crown, while the brasswork
OF the frame has finals designed from
the barbed spearheads in use in the
chiefs district. The structure would
be handsome in it's way but for the
fact that the woodwork of the body has
painted upon it, in large letters on
either side, the name and title of the
chief-namely, Coffee Adam-Iron
Bar Duke" This feature, says the
Westminster Gazette, for which the
manufacturer is not responsible, is eX-
pected to particularly please the dusky
potentate, but it is fatal to the artis
tic pretensions of the design.

BETTING WAS LIVELY.
The Cause Was Dealing from the Double

The Cause Was Dealing from the Double
Pack Used In Pinochle.
A party of five gentlemen were play
ing game of poker at the home of
friend the other night and had most
remarkable experience with the cards.
The old gentleman who lives in the
house is German and is very fond of
the game of pinochle. He was not pres
ent at the time the poker players
started their game, but it seems had
left pinochle deck lying on the man
telpiece when he retired early in the
evening, says Washington Post. The
younger crowd were playing 10-cent
ante and 25-cent limit and had played
ABOUT an hour when one of the young
fellows discovered that owing to his
run OF bad luck he was $40 loser. Seek
ing TO retrieve his lost chips he sug-
gested change of decks, and, having
seen another deck on the mantelpiece,
procured 1T and started to deal. Five
hands were thrown around and the
betting began. They all stayed The

seconds and raised again. So it went
all around the table, every player rails
ing the bet as it came his turn. Fin
ally they all ran out of chips, but they
Kept on betting and several crisp
greenbacks were put in the pot. When
the showdown came a riot was mar
roWly averted. One man had four aces
and king, while the man next to him
held four kings and an ace. Another
Threw down four jacks against fourth
hand, which contained three queens
and pair of kings. The fifth man
wasn't in it at all, for he only held
three tens and small pair. The old
gentleman's pinochle deck had done it
all. All bets were declared off and the
game stopped. 1t took them all the
rest of the night to divide the pot ac-
cordlng to the bets that had been made,
after which one of the players said a
pad word and threw the double deck
IN the fire.

TO many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane, and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon as the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is langour and lack of
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine, because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier
1t overcomes that tired feeling because

it makes pure, rich blood. 1t gives
strength to nerves and muscles because
it endows the blood with new powers
of nourishment. 1t creates an appetite,
tones and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, and thus builds up
the whole system and prepares it to
meet the change to warmer weather.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is medicine
upon which you may depend. 1t is
the only true blood purifier promi-
nently before the public eye today
1t has q record Of cures unequalled in
the history Of medicine. 1t is the medi-
cine of which so many people write,
Hoods Sarsaparilla does all that it
is claimed to do" You can take
Hoods Sarsaparilla with the confident
expectation that it will give you pure
blood and renewed health. Take it now.

some signs of tears. Then of his wife

All, yes! 1t is right here that we all
break down. At the thought of ''the
old mother" with her graylng hairs,
her kindly face, across which time and
sorrow are cutting their burrows, and
her faith and affection that never
waivers nor doubts. 1t is to "old mother"
that mans heart turns at last when
trouble, or affection, or remorse over

obscure this for a time. The wife

and trustful about the knee, may efface
all thought of 1.-The old mother" But
when q great crisis comes, and the
strong man is bending beneath burden
too grievous to be born, the vision
comes to him of one. idealized in his
heart at least, who never doubted. who

time with love that passeth all under

Transferring Engravings.

It is said that engravings may be
transferred on white paper as follows:
Place the engraving few seconds over
the vapor of iodine. Dip slip of white
paper in a weak solution of starch,
and when dry, in weak solution of
oil of vitrol. When again dry, lay a
slip upon the engraving and place both
for a few minutes under a press. The
engraving will be reproduced in all its
delicacy and finish. Autographs and
printed matter cannot be so trans
ferred with equal success.

gram. They looked rather unlike a
honeymoon couple, as he was attired
in a covert coat and round hat (known,
I believe, as bowler" or billy cock"
over here, not at all like his usual
smart get-up. Perhaps it was done on
purpose to avoid suspicion-I mean
publicity. The Castellanes have been
staying at the Berkeley, but, think,
left today for Paris. Some one who
saw them together at the hotel told me
that she appeared quite devoted to
him, says Piccadilly in Vanity, and is
so yielding and submissive that he is
likely to be spoilt entirely.
