CLOSE OF THE CRIMEAN WAR.
Date of the Treaty of Peace and How
Brave Deeds Were Recorded.


The formerly ratified treaty of peace
was brought to Londen by William
Stuart, first attache to the British en-
bassy at Paris, on April %, 1856 Sun
day May 4, was observed as a day of
general thanksgiving to almighty God
for the preservation of peace; and on
Monday the 5th, it was formally pro-
claimed in London, with the usual
solemnities. Addresses to the crown,
approving of the peace, were carried
In both houses of parliament on the
evening of that day; and on the 8th
both houses cordially voted thanks to
the army, navy and marines employed
in the operations of the late war"
The feelings entertained toward the
men who fought and bled in the Crimea
by the queen, the government and the
people of England are also placed on
record in an excellent dispatch of Lord
Panmure's, which will be perpetuated
as long as the language exists.
"Since the PERIOD" said the noble
secretary of war, when the army first
quilted the shores of England, there
has been no vicissitude of war which it

NUMBER NINE IN MYTHOLOGY.
What o German Professor Has to Say OF
Three Times Three.

What German Professor Has to Say OF
Three Times Three.
It is not often that a single figure
has enjoyed the distinction of being
the subject of long study and investi
cation on the part of German univer-
sity professor. But 1.-THE Number
Nine" is the title of long and learned
article in recent edition of "Am Ur-
quell," by Prof Reinhold, at present
rector of the University of Berlin. I'm
early times" writes the professor, 1.-The
first uneven number (3) and it's null
tiple (9) were considered of especial
Importance, likewise all numbers
which contained 9. Heather philoso-
piers, or Christian mystic writer's, the
legends of nations, the religions of
modern peoples, all go to prove the
holiness or sanctity of the number 9.
In ancient Germanic life, in poetry, in
religion and law, the number 9 is met
everywhere. 1t still has it's influence
in German customs and German belief.
In the scandinavian mythology we find
groups of nine walkyries, nine discs,
nine giant mermaids or women of the
sea, nine mothers of the god Heimdell.
nine virgins Of the Menglod-Freyja and
nine dwarfs. In the middle ages nine
heroes were usually grouped together,
as is to be seen on the beautiful foun-
tain at Nuremburg and the Hanse
salon of the Cologne city hall. In the
poetry of the fifteenth century groups
of nine are favored. Proofs of this are
to be found in the festival plays, Nos.
80 and AZ of the Keller collection and
in the poem: The Nine Poor Wander
ers' of Hans Sachs. There were nine
judges in Icelandic and Germanic law.
known as the Mines In Lucerne there
existed until 1895 the nine men who sat
in Judgment on ordinary police cases.
Nine children were formerly looked on
as the ideal number for family. y n
Even animals are named in old tales in
groups of nine. In a German fairy tale
nine birds quarrel over the wishing
clock. They say in Tysol: When nine
parents meet there is witch among
them We also find nine a favored
number for those people who make a
sacrifice of human beings and animals. -

GHOSTS OF TIE MAORlS.
They Scratch on Walls and Make Their
Presence Known by Whistling.

They Scratch on Walls and Make Their
Presence Known by Whistling.
The Maoris, it appears, have a rooted
belief in ghosts, which they called
"Kehuas," and in various manifesto
tons from the spirit world. They do
not profess to hear the raps by which
European spiritualists suppose that the
presence of spooks is manifested, for
the reason that Maori houses, being of
reeds, rushes or grass, raps would not
be heard; but the ghosts ingeniously
accommodate themselves to circum-
stances by scratching instead of rap
ping, which is, of course, very thought
full of them. Maoris believe that
ghosts speak in shrill, whistling voices,
and a recent traveller states that for
that reason the Maoris hate to hear
anyone whistle. The Kehua, accord
ing to native tradition, is generally
found lying across a path, and to step
over him is to die. If the traveller
goes round by another path that leads
to the place for which he is aiming he
will find that the Kehua is on the new
path before him. The one way to
avoid disaster is to turn back and 90
home, or, at least, to the place last left.
A chief, described as very intelligent"
assured Mr.. Tregear, who, according
to the New York Advertiser, has lately
been investigating Maori superstitions,
that he saw the spirits of two of his
uncleS on each occasion before they
died. His father, mother, brothers or
sisters did not see, and it is not stated
why he supposed that his uncles
specially desired to visit him in this
fashion. The explanation of this and
the rest probably is that the Maoris
are a remarkably superstitious and
imaginative people, who can make
ghosts out of nothing or nothing
more substantial than dreams-as cas-
lily as an old Scotch wife of the last
century.

al spy STRANGERS"
A Cry That viii Clear the Galleries In
the House OF Commons


AS is well known, it is only through
courtesy, and in violation of strict
rules, that anyone is allowed to wit
ness the proceedings of the English
parliament. If an ill-natured member
chooses to call out at any time, Il spy
strangers" the galleries must be i'm
mediately cleared. This custom, of
course, has become obsolete, and of
late the ladies, who can go anywhere
else in Westminster whore visitors are
allowed, through their especial
to secure the same privileges relative
to admission to the members gallery as
those accorded to men.
In a recent declaration before the
house Of parliament, says the New
York Advertiser. Mr.. Herbert Glad
stone stated that the exclusion Of
ladies from this place was based on
the rule enforced by successive speak
ers that women cannot obtain admission
to the house. ''In former times" he
said, between 1919 and ITS, the occa-
sional presence of women III the
gallery below the bar was permitted.
NOIlce having, on rCDruary <, lIIS,
been taken that strangers were pres
ent. the strangers, who were men,
withdrew in obedience to the sergeant
alarms The ladies who filled the
gallery exhibited such persevering re-
luctance to comply with the order that
they interrupted the business of the
house for two hours. Since that ladies
have never been allowed to sit within
that part of the house" Mr.. Herbert
Gladstone's statement has filed the
English newspapers with columns of
letters on the subject, the general
trend of which goes to show that the
British maid and matron propose to
assert that they have equal rights to
witness the doings Of the lawmakers
with their husbands and sweethearts.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll Of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyZed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWO-thirdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base Of the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialiSt, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in cOnnec ton with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity epilepsy, St.
Vitus dance, ETC., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success OF
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.

BLEACHING DIAMONDS.
Trick by Which South African Dealers
Deceive Patrons.

Trick by Which South African Dealers
Deceive Patrons.
The discovery of diamonds in South
Africa led Indirectly to some clever de-
ceit by the dealers, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. Many of the South African
diamonds have straw tint, which has
an unfavorable effect on their price,
especially as experts believe it will be-
come more decided the longer the
stones are exposed to the air Some
of the more knowing dealers discov-
cred that by subjecting the straw
tinted diamonds to bath of certain
acids the Objectionable color was re-
moved and the gems become pure
white. A number of diamonds SO
treated were sold in Paris and Berlin,
and brought higher prices than they
would if they had retained their origi-
nal color.
After exposure to the action of the
air for certain time the original color
returns, but by that time they have
passed out of the dealers hands. The
fraud was soon found out by the trade,
and they now guard against imposi-
tions of such character by means of
various tests. Of these the most gen.
orally used are the hot water bath or
friction. If a dyed stone be left in hot
water few minutes it resumes it's or
iginal hue; or, if the gem be rubbed
sharply on towel, or even on the
coat sleeve, it's normal color can be de-
tected. These tests are simple and
eficacious and are in daily use.

HER GOLDEN HAIR, ETC.
The Sign That "Caught the Crowd" in
Louisville.

The Sign That "Caught the Crowd" in
Louisville.
One Saturday afternoon great
crowd had gathered in front of win
dow on Fourth avenue, where a lady
had her hair on exhibition as an adj
vertisement for patent hair fertilizer.
Her hair was long and beautiful, of
course, and many stopped to admire it.
OF course the terrible small boy had to
come along and get in his work. A
little newsboy had been watching the
crowd for some time, saying nothing
at all, but one could see his eyes were
bubbling over with mischief. He dis
appeared for a short time and then
suddenly reappeared. Edging his way
through the crowd, he stuck piece of
red paper on the window, on which, in
big, black letters. appeared the legend:
''Her golden hair was hanging down
her back"
1t caught the crowd, and in the midst
of the general laughter the kid got
away. The girl in the window heard
the laughter, but could only see the
back of the card on the window, so she
sent a clerk out to investigate. He
came, he saw, and he raised the deuce
with the laughing, gaping crowd, but
that didn't bother the crowd any.
Then he made frantic efforts toget the
card off the window, but it refused to
come. By this time the crowd of
gazers had increased to thrice its size
and the clerk was very mad. He &C
cused each and every person in the
crowd that ventured to laugh of put
ting the card on the window. Some
of the parties accused showed fight,
and then the clerk thought that pru-
dence was the better part of valor and
retired to the store. A little later a
negro was sent out with a bucket of
hot water and a sponge and the objec.
tionable placard was removed.-Louis
