CLAIMS THE THRONE.
THE ROMANTIC HISTORY OF DON
CARLOS, THE PRETENDER.

He Is the Third of the Line of Claimants
to the Spanish Crown-His Partisans Are
Evidently Preparing For Another Up
rising.
Poor Spain! With her hands full in
looking after rcbcllious colonies, she is
threatened with a revival of an ancient
civil strife which has many times drenched
the land in blood. With her troops fight
ing desperately to retain Cuba, with more
soldiers needed for the revolutionists in the
Philippines and with Puerto Rico already
to break loose comes the long silent Don
Carlos threatening to make one more
frantic bid for the throne.
OF course to the average American it
would seem somewhat unpatriotic for Don
Carlos to plunge Spain into civil strife Just
at this critical period, when the rich islands
which she has held SO long and so tena-
ciously may be swept away But the gal
liant Carlos meets this in a very ingenious
manner. He says he is perfectly free to
choose any opportunc moment to assert his
rights There is every indication, too, that
the Carlsts think that identical moment
is not far off The recent action of the
Carlst deputies in withdrawing from the
chamber is significant and gives color to
the ruIn.r that all Curlist adherents
throughout Srain have been warned to pre-
pare for call t. arms.

Margaret Mauro Has Won Fame at Four
teen with Her Verses.
Margaret Frances Mauro is a little girl
who lives in Washington and who is just
now hailed rs the "child poet. " Margaret
is not one of those prematurcly old chill
dren who betray their precocity in both
speech and appearance. In fact, she is pre-
cocous in nothing besides her ability to
write poetry. 1t is real poetry too. Some
of it has been printed in II. Nicholas, and
she has been paid for it. Here is her Son
net to a Purple Pansy:"
O lovely flower, loveliest Of thy kind,
FAIR as the purple cloud that sunset decks,
A beauteous blossom Of thy gentle sex,
a bit of fragrance, budding on the wind,
a storehouse for the honey gathering bee.
Now coyly smiling with coquettish grace,
Now with "A lovely look upon thy face,
An upward glance Of grave, sweet purity,
drop Of purple dew that CLEANS, then fades,
Sets upon ear.h's green breast another gem.

TO HONOR DR.. VlRCHOW.
Preparing For a Notable Celebration of
His Seventy-ffth Birthday.

His SeVenty-htth birthday.
The scientific world is preparing to pay
signal hcnor to that renowned German
physician Rudolph Nirchow on the occa-
sion Of his seventy fifth birthday, which is
to be celebrated in Berlin on Oct. 13.
Eminent scientists from every important
country in the world, including the United
States, are gathering at that city to present
gifts and congratulations to the veteran
student and statesman In Germany the
day will be one of national Importance in
such esteem is DR.. Virchow held in his
own land. 1t is not often that nation ex-
presses its affection for living hero.
Rudolph Nirchow was born Oct 10,
1921, at Schievelbein, "A small town in
Pomerania. He was educated at the gym
nasium in Berlin, graduating at the age of
IS. He then began his medical studies and
was graduated from the University of Der

lin in 1S43. From the beginning of his
medical career to the present day he has
been in the habit of occasionally startling
the scientific world with some new dis
covery or theory. The study of diseases he
has made a special feature of his work and
the volumes which he has written concern
ing his Investigations in this direction are
among the most valuable which the mod
ern school of medicine has at its command
His conception of cellular processes intro
duced wholly new and most fertile ideas
as to all the phenomena of disease This
invaluable contribution to pathology would
alone have made him famous but his re
searches in other fields have produced
equally brilliant results In 1856 he was
appointed professor of pathological anat-
omy at Berlin, and this position he still
holds
In political life Professor Nirchow has
also been an active figure, and he has been
a brave and outspokon leader on the side
of progress and liberality. At one time he
had Bismarck as an opponent, and the
controversy became so heated that it was
rumored the scientist and the Iron Chan
cellor were to fight duel, but this never
occurred He was for many years mem
Der OF the municipal council Of Berlin, and
it is due largely to his influence that the
sanitary condition of that and other Ger
man cities has been so much improved
His political activity he never allowed to
interfere, however, with his scientific pur-
suits, which lie always regarded as his
proper ana rious labor, although he often
said that it -ecmed more like recreation to
him than work.

An Eminent PHYSICIAN
Saws Women Are Not Truthful
Will Lie to Their Physicians.
This Statement Should Be Qualified
Women Do Tell the Truth. But Not the who're
Truth, to Male Physician, But 10 ell
tn Truth, and the Whole Truth, to Mrs
rham-Mrs. Jane Keener Has Some
t. to Say on the Subject.

There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions in regard to her private llls'
even when those questions are asked
by her family physician.
This is the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can enter into every
detail of their illness, so that even
through correspondence Mrs. Pinkham
can treat her patients more intelli-
gently than the local physician.
1t is this fact alone which has caused
the tremendous line of correspondence,
which is ever increasing, between Mrs
Pinkham and women who are sick. and
it was from this fact also that Mrs.
Pinkham has wider experience and
greater knowledge of the treatment of
female ills than any practicing physi-
clan in the world. The greatest prac-
titioner can at the most have less than
100 cases to which he can give his per-
sonal attention, while more than fifty
thousand cases have been handled by
Mrs Pinl1ham during the last six
months.
Years ago women had no such re-
course, and in consequence many of
them dragged out a miserable exist
ence; charlatans practiced on their ig-
norance and fears, extorted money
from them and effected few cures.
Nowadays woman may ask advice of
a woman who understands woman's
ills, and the fact that this great boon
which is extended freely to women by
Mrs. Pinllham is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters which are received by
her prove. Many such grateful letters
as the following are constantly pouring

So Intricate as 1t Looks.
The illustration shows an attractive
design for standing table lamp.
For any woman who is handy with
light tools this lamp box will be an easy
one to make, as it is very simple al
fair, though seemingly elaborate.
This box for the lamp, strangely as II
may seem, is made of thin pieces or
board, yard of baggiHg, some strips
of stove pipe iron end few large-head-
ed nails, also small quantity OF paint.
First secure n box such as canned
goods are packed in and break 1t apart
taking care not to split any OF the thin
boards. Then purchase lamp fount
having a good central draft burner,
and of the boards made a box the
square of which will be about an inch
larger than the diameter OF the lamp
fount.
This box should be about 10 inches
high and eight inches square; In the top
cut round hole sufficiently large to adj
NIT the fount, but not so large that it.
would fall through.
There will be a metal rim OF fiahge
around the top edge of the front to rest
on the edge of the hole. In the bottom
of the box lave few large holes to al
low the necessary draft to pass up To
the burner.
Cover the entire outside of the box
with bagging stretched tight and
tackled securely at the corners, or, II
preferable, It may be held in place with
good liquid-glue painted on each side
of the box and against which the bag
gng may be firmly pressed. When the
glue is dry give the bagging several sue
cessive coats of paint of some desirable
color, such as sage green. old iron or
light salmon pink, and when it is thor
oughly dry bind the edges and cor
hers of the box with thin strips OF
metal.
At tinsmith's purchase few sheets
of thin stove pipe iron and cut it in
strips an inch and a half in width. Lap
them on the corners of the box SO three
quarters of an inch of metal will ar

natural colors of two shades in green
with the stems of dark brown.
Before they are worked, however, it
will be necessary to apply the middle
stitch.
Obtain a piece of linen of pale-green
tint and cut it to the desired size, ar
range it on the body linen and pin it
fast temporarily, then run piece of
cord around the edge of it and butt on
hole it down securely so as to hide the
edge of the green patch. This button
holed and raised edge will form an ex-
cellent finish and dividing line, and will
form center whereon a piece of brio
a-brac or vase or ornament may rest.
With compass mark circle to indi-
cate the outside of the centerpiece and
buttouhole the outer line in the draw
ing.
A very pretty and novel effect can be
had if the buttonholing is carried out
in the manner illustrated, and by en-
ploying two shades of any light color
rippled or full effect can be produced,
as the illustration shows
The projecting segments should be
worked with the lighter shade While
the recessed ones are to be carried out
in the darker shade. Long and short
stitches should be employed to obtain
the best results, and the finished edges
should be very satisfactory and pleas
ing.
A portiere of maidenhair fern, forget
me-nots. crysanthemums,sw sweet peas or
other suitable blossoms may be worked
on the body linen, and when draw ing
them in it would be web not to crowd
the design, as an open one that is we'll
arranged is very much more satisfac-
tory in result than a closely drawn and
huddled-together design.
Small round and square doilies to
match this design in center, pattern
and edge can be made six or eight
inches in diameter, or square, if de
sired A very nice set would be one
square centerpiece about IL inches each
way, one round centerpiece and half
dozen each of square and round doilies,
all worked in the maidenhair fern pat

Mrs. Jane Keener, Mt. Morris, Pa,

it my duty to tell you these facts that
you may also be cured by the same most
valuable remedy. My heart is full of
gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham.
A STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk Of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal conf
dence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.
