Worth cited an instance where ladies have
been accustomed to play In one. OF the fashion

have lately commenced TO play mornings, and.

leads some women to neglect their families. An
effort had been made in this Lenten season TO
hold appropriate services In a certain church,

the interest was so great In whist parties that
only four persons were present one. evening at

Predecessor OF Just Tell Them That You saw

There are some SUN readers, perhaps, who
have lively personal recollections Of the
whirl, whiz and popularity in the world Of
fashion thirty years ago OF the Grecian bend, a
design thought at the time to be very graceful,
having had its origin, 1t is supposed. in Sara
toga, and having been the subject OF a very pop
ular song in its day-a song explanatory as well
as meiodious.
The ladies' wanting something new.
As women are so prone to do.

With foot so short, and heel so high,
They cant stand plumb Il they would try,
By means OF q Grecian bend.

Or pitch against q tree or wall.
Zen bashful girls are forward now.
SO forward that the people VOW
They've driven all the day acow
To give them q Grecian bend.
Fat women now Will not be seen.
For all are bent upon the lean.
This beautiful Grecian bend.
Their hesis arrive before their feet.
The agpre cut Is such a treat;

bend song was typical was noteworthy for other

instance, "Waiting for a Broadway Stage.
There was "Alabaster joe" a forerunner OF
the coon songs" so popular nowadays. There
were "Adolphus Morning GLORY" and The Big

which made Billy Emerson, the minstrel. ia

PRISONER OF HIS FEARS.
Sultan Has Fifty Beds and Lets No One
Know Which He'll Occupy.

THE commander of the faithful is
of middling stature, rather under than
over the average, and of weakly Consti-
tuition. His countenance has no wicked
expression. 1t is of the Circassian type
from the mothers side, but bearing the
marks of degeneration. The eyes are
haggard, the forehead insignificant and
narrow, the eyebrows very thick, form
ing two great arcs, which coalesce. The
large nose dominates the whole physi-
ognomy and is slightly inclined to one
side at the lower extremity. The mouth
is large, the lips thick. The sultan
wears his beard long, and care has
sprinkled his hair and beard with silver
within the last few years. 1t is fami-
ly tradition among the heirs of Osman
to speak in loud voice. Abdul Hamid's
utterance is strident and imperious. 1t
is the voice of master addressing those
whom he regards as his slaves.
Ever since he has been ON the throne
Abdul Hamid has rarely gone to bed at
night to rise i'll the morning like an Or
binary mortal. He seldom retireS until
dawn, but rises again at 8 O'Clock, hav
ing spent the night hard at work listen
ing to reports and attending to the
affairs of state. When he has nothing
else to do, he reads French detective
stories, for he has an all pervading idea
that conspiracies are being Matched
against him, and passes his time cir
cumventing an imaginary conspirator
Nobody knows where he will spend any
part of the day or evening. Often he
enters a building, and, while the sen
tries at the door believe that he is inside.
he has gone by a back door and to
some other building. Moreover, in what
ever part of the palace he may be, there
is a permanent service of surveillance
day and night, and he is constantly ac-
cOmpanied by a score of persons. who
organize special service i'll the build
ing or apartment where he happens to
be for the moment.
Where the sultan will sleep is never
known. He possesses more than 80 beds
in the different parts of the palace, and
these bedrooms are separated from the
rest of the edifice by iron doors and fur
nished with most ingenious and compli
Gated locks. Two superb st. Bernards
also sleep outside the door of the APART
ment in which the sultan may be sleep
ing, for he knows that four footed
guardians cannot be tempered with.
Formerly the members of the imperial
harem used to move about among the
numerous palaces on the Bosporus, but

of change Of air. Their palace is theft

ONE DISEASE AND, ONE REMEDY.

ONE DISEASE AND ONE REMEDY.
"The art Of painting" said Millais,
consists in selecting the right colors
and putting them in the right place"
THE way to win battle" said Ma
poleon, " is to mass your troops at the
critical moment against the weakest
spot in the enemy's line. The way
to sure many ailments" said DR.. Aber-
crombie, " is to purify the poisoned
spring in which they arise, generally
the torpid and inflamed digestive sys-
tenn"
Thus wisdom and experience sim
risfy and condense. Thus the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon reasoned when they
sought, and finally found, a remedy
for indigestion and dyspepsia Where
one person has something else, they
argued, thousand have this. To cure
this alone will almost rid the world of
sickness. Why should we vex our
selves with confusing definitions?
good digestion is life and health: a
bad one disease and death. Hence,
from the healing ana stimulating
mountain herbs, they extracted the
principles which make the Shaker Dr.
gestive Cordial, the rarest and most
effective medicine for one disease, and
one only-indigestion and dyspepsia.
Do you suffer from any of these mis-
cradle lings?-depression of spirits,
heaviness and pain in the stomach af-
ter meals, bad taste in the mouth,
wind in the bowels, irritable DISPOSE
ton, nervous weakness and alarm,
worry and WEAKNESS, costiveness or
irregularity of the bowels, nausea, pal
pitation, sick headache, heartburn, loss
of appetite and sleep, dry skin, etc?
Don't indulge in fifty foolish fancies.
You have indigestion and dyspepsia
and nothing else. Set the disordered
stomach right with the one medicine
which will surely do it. Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial and these symptoms
will vanish with their cause. A good
effect will follow the first doses. Even
chronic cases soon yield.
Test the cordial at practically no
cost, by taking a ten-cent trial bottle.
For sale by nearly all druggists.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND UPON

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speak
ink of DR.. Kings New Discovery says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pena could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DR..

to do this good work. Try it, Free

tween Engagements.
General Horace Porter tells the fol
lowing anecdote in his Campaigning
With Grant" in The Century: During
the ten days of battle through which
we had Just passed very little relief,
physical or mental, had been obtained,
but there was one staff officer, a Colonel
B, who often came as bearer OF
messages to our headquarters, who al
ways managed to console himself with
novel reading, and his popularity in
this respect became a standing joke
among those who knew him. He went
about with his saddle bags stuffed full
of thrilling rOmances, and was seen sew
eral times sitting on his horse, under a
brisk fire, porting over the last pages OF
an absorbing volume to reach the de-
movement of the plot and evinclng a
greater curiosity to find how the hero
and the heroine were going to be extrl-
Gated from the entangled dilemma into
which they had been plunged by the
unsympathetic author than to learn the
result of the surrounding battle.

he met were perfectly familiar with his
line of literature, and he talked about
nothing but the merits of the latest
novel. For the last week he had been
devouring Victor Hugo's lies Miser-
ables. ~ It was an English translation,
for the officer had no knowledge OF
French. AS he was passing house IN
rear of the "angle" he saw young Ia
dy seated on the porch, and, stopping
his horse, bowed to her with all the
grace of Chesterfield and endeavored
to engage her in conversation. Before
he had gone far he took occasion to re-
mark, by the way, have you seen
Lees Miserables?' - anglicizing the
pronunciation. Her black eyes snapped
with indignation as she tartly replied
Don't you talk to me that way. They

Thursday the house was locked, ev-
