FINE HEIRS TO A THRONE.
Early Exploits OF the Two Sons Of the
Archduke Karl Ludwig.

The two young Austrian princes who,
by the death of their father, Archduke
Charles Louis, are brought into the line
Of immediate succession, bear q popular
i'll repute which would have been ex-
cessiye even in the Munich or Stuttgart
of d generation ago. Both are reputed
to be unable to read and write correctly
any one of the languages in which an
Austrian ruler is supposed to be prof.
Gent.
After the suicide of Archduke Ru-
dolph, in 1889, all effort was made to
train the mind Of the elder Of these
cousins, the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand. He was sent on tour around the
world, and the pretense was carried to
the length of issuing q record of obser.
vations which he was said to have writ
ten. All that he really derived from the
journey was malady from which he is
now slowly dying.
He is the prince who scandalized vi
emma in his youth by hating O peasant
funeral procession which he met while
riding, and compelling the mourners to
hold the bier while he leaped his horse
backward and forward over the coffin
His uncle, the emperor, thrashed him
with stick for this exploit, although
he was at the time grown man and an
officer in the army His brother Otto IS
the hero of another exploit, involving
public insult of the grossest kind to his
own wife, for which the Austrians were
delighted to learn that he also felt the
emperor's cane.
In explanation, though not in defense,
of their vicious worthlessness, it is re-
membered that these young men inherit
not only the worst qualities of the de-
generate Hapsburg blood. but are grand
sons of that criminal lunatic whom
Englishmen still remember-the Nea-
politan "Bomba. Saturday Review.

A Bows Dloyclo Lawn Mower.

Inever walk about in the town with
out being impressed with the ingenuity
of the small boy. A few afternoons ago
I was passing a house cut on the road
to the Soldiers home. 1t was rather q
handsome house, with wide sweep OF
velyety lawn, windingly intersected by
a cement driveway. A boy of about IA
was cutting the narrow fringe of grass
beside the driveway. He was mounted
on bicycle, and as he rode he pushed
the lawn mower along beside him. Ot
course it was much harder work than
walking with the grass cutter would
have been and deal slower i'll the do
ing, but no real live boy is ever going
to let such trifing considerations as
those have weight with -

70 WASH THE BLOOD.
a Simple Salt and Water Injection In Place
of TronsfusiOn.

Washing tic blood is the latest rem
edy for diseases brought Oh by or caus-
ing sluggish circulation and low state
of the blood. The washing process is
performed by plain salt and water.
From O pint to two quarts of water is
injected into the system by means OF an
ordinary hypodermic syringe.
A vein is oponcd in the arm of the
patient with tl.c Usual antiseptic pre-
cautions and the salt water injected in
large doses. A profus2 perspiration and
general activity of the sccrotory organs
follow, carrying away the noXious mat
ter present in the blood. The new REM
ady is recommended by several doctors
in papers read recently before the Acad-
envy OF Medicine i'll Paris and has been
successfully employed i'll numerous in
stances. III cases Of al.Diuia, typhoid,
hemorrh:.cs sudden shock and even in
cases OF iAtoxicasiou thi; blood wash
ing, it is said, works wonders. For some
years surgeons have used saline injec-
ton i'll cases Of collapse after an opera
ton. 1t is the most powerful tonic
known and has saved many lives. It's
efficacy in ordinary diseases has, how
ever, only recently been discovered.
Modern medicine has Il tendency to
resort to simple lsethcds which recog-
nize the all caring powers OF water.
Washing the stomach, rs practiced by
several New York physicians, is of very
recent origin and is considered invalu-
able in-cases of indigestion. A simple
bath of warm water is often all that is
necessary to restore the stomach to its
normal condition by removing the
poisonous waste products which are not
profusely thrown off by the secretory
organs. BY means of Il soft rubber tube
put down the throat water can be poured
into the stomach and siphoned out
again. TO wash the blood is, OF course,
more difficult, as the water has to DO
injected into vein.
1t is well known that the blood of a
frog can be drawn off and the blood Of
another frog substituted without greatly
inconveniencing the creature. 1t was
then found that salt water solution
can be substituted instead OF blood, to o
considerable extent, at least and the
frog will live and be as sprightly as
ever. This fact first gave the scientists
the idea of injecting an artificial serum
into the veins of human being, either
anamic or intoxicated. The new remedy
is very simple i'll its action and can al
ways, it is said, be employed with safe

An 1nverting stcreoscope Invented.

An inverting stereoscope has been in
troduced by the well known Partisan
makers, the Compton General de Pho
tographie, of 81 Rue Saint Roche, Paris
Amateur photographers know that when
they make positives for the stereoscope
the right image must be put on the left
hand and the left on the right hand
but the new instrument of NM Car
pentier and Gramont allows the effect
of relief to be seen without necessitating
this inversion. London Globe.

Prince Victor Napoleon.

Prince Victor Napoleon inherited TO-
600 francs a year from his father. His
aunt, the Princess Mathilde Bonaparte,
gives him all income of 10000 francs
and the ex.empress the sum of 30, O00
francs yearly. But as both these royal
ladies are fond of France, and like to
live there part of the year, they give
their sums on the condition that the
prince does not use any of it for polit-
ical agitation.

The Passing of the Bang.

1t is strange how suddenly and how
completely bangs were swept back from
all the Juvenile foreheads in the land.
Nowadays it is most uncommon to see q
well dressed child without her hair
parted smoothly and combed back over
her ears as it was i'll her mother S child
hood 80 years ago. Very few of these
small faces can stand this trying way Of
hairdrcssing, but it is one Of practical

GET AT IT.

This is the season of the year above
all others when YOU should take the
best care of your system. Bad colds
are frequent results of exposure and
indiscretion. They are terrible strains
on the system from the racky effects of
coughing, and the after effects from the
result of infamed lining membrane,
which thickens and keeps up con-
tinual irritation until it assumes Il
catarrhal character. or progresses to
consumption of slow and torturing
type or rapid and fatal termination.
So il is time TO get at II and break that
cold up in its incipiency, and there is
no better way to do it than by calling
at the Combination Brick and White
Front Drug Store and procure DIR. 5.

Undoubtedly California offers more
genuine attractions to the pleasure
travelling public than any other part
Of the American continent The fame
OF its climate is worldwide, and it is
sought even by Europeans, who find
it more charming than their own
southern slopes. To Americans its
worth is too well known to necessitate
a description Of the many advantages
to be enjoyed.
Personally conducted tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad will leave New
York and Philadelphia February II
and March II, 1896. In addition TO
the many other points of interest Wis
tied on the first tour stop will he

Gras festivities, and four weeks will be
allowed in California. On the second
tour four and one-half weeks will be
allowed in California.
An addition to the magnificent train
heretofore used for these tours is
through Pullman compartment car.
The ear, which will be the very best

will contain nine inclosed compart-
ments-two drawing rooms and seven

the special train at Jersey City AMI

the first tour, and San Francisco on
the second.
This will he the first ear Of its kind
to be run on transcontinental train,
