vironed, so to speak, by an impene
trable barrier of etiquette.
Count Michael Mouravieff, the new
foreign minister, is of middle height,
blond and somewhat bald, always ele-
gantly dressed and wearing a monarch
ical air. Among the decorations which
he wears are several conferred for con.
spicuous gallantry on the battlefield
during the Turko-Russian war.
He is very self-contained, quiet and
reserved man, who gives one the i'm
preston of never losing his head, of
knowing how to hold his tongue and Of
being the impersonifcation of honor
and Of good breeding. The title of
count, which be bears and which serves
TO distinguish him from his cousin, the
minister of justice at st. Petersburg,
who does not possess any such handle to
his name, was conferred upon his ia,
Their, Gen. Mouravieff, to whom Russia
is indebted for the acquisition of the
greater portion of the Siberian EN-
pire. He conquered the entire Amur
FIoN llSC, anu LII consequence tt'N-'''i
was rewarded with the title of count,
and with the right to add Amurski to
his name.
It is the same general who, while gov
ernor-general of Siberia, appeared in
1859 in the Bay of Yeddo, just after the
departure of the American Commodore
Perry and obtained from the Japanese
government treaty based on the same
lines as that secured by the United
States.
The only blot that there is on the fair
name OF this very distinguished Russian
commander, the antiquity Of whose
family is superior even to that of the
Romanoffs, is the cruelty which he dis
played in suppressing the Polish in
surrection in 1863, when he instituted
what was in every sense of the word a
reign of terror-so much so that his
name to this day is execrated by all
Poles at home as well as abroad, and II
is doubtful, un Ter the circumstances,
whether the appointment of his son to a
post that is to all intents and purposes
that of chancellor of the empire will
afford much satisfaction to the Polish

II Is said that the turn of life is the
most important period in woman's
existence, and owing to modern meth
DDS of living not more than one woman
out of thousand approaches this per-
fectly natural change without expert
encing train of very annoying and
sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the head until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, as if the heart
were goi;' : to stop, are symptoms of a
dangero,.i nervous trouble.
The hot flashes are just SO many calls
from nature for help. At this time
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound will be Of great value, as the
following letter from Mrs. Kriner in
dicatcs. The Vegetable Compound is
d tonic especially prepared to act upon
the female generative organs 1t in
vigorates and strengthens those organs
In such manner as to build up the
weakened nervous system, and enables
woman to pass that troublesome
period triumphantly.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, is al
ways glad to answer any personal let
tiers, and it is well for any woman
who is in doubt about her condition to
write to Mrs. Pinkham and get thor
ough analysis of her case, and advice
about what to do.

HONORED BY THE CAR.
Pen Sketch Of Russia's New
Minister Of Foreign Affairs
Count MOuravieff II Practically the
New Chancellor of the Muscovtte
Empire and Said to be n
Good Fellow.

Count Mouravieff, who has been ap-
pointed by the car to take the place OF
the late Prince Lobanoff as minister OF
foreign affairs, although he spent SO
many years at Berlin as secretary of the
Russian embassy there, can hardly be
looked upon as a particular friend OF
Germany or imbued with any amiable
sentiments towards the court of Berlin.
For it was during his sojourn in EN-.
peror Williams capital that he lost his
lovely wife, to whom he was passion
ately attached.
lie lost her, not by death, but by be-
frayal, and, as usual, the culprit was
his best friend, Count Henckel Won
Donnersmark, with whom she eloped
and to whom she has since become mar
ried, the late czar having readily
granted a divorce to Count Mouravieif
as soon as he learned of the circum.
stances of the case.
A betrayed husband, snys the New
York World, is always more or less u
subject Of ridicule to worldly cynical
people, and Count Mouravieff was nc
exception to the rule in the eyes OF
Berlin society, which is the most un'
sympathetic of any of the continent
His residence there soon became intol-
cradle, and accordingly he applied fol-
n transfer.
This he obtained in the shape of pro
motion to the most agreeable post in
the diplomatic service of Russia, name
ly, that of envoy to the court of Copen.
hagen, post which has ever since the
marriage of the late car been regarded
as step to high preferment. For
owing to the abandon and absence Of
formality that characterizes the mode
of life of the reigning family Of Russia
during their annual stays at Copenha'
gen, the envoy and his secretaries have
the opportunity of becoming much
more intimately acquainted with the
imperial house than in Russia itself
where their majesties and the princes
and princesses of their family are EN-

friends will do as I did.
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 a woman, thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience 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 fool
ish if she does not take advantage Of
this generous offer of assistance.

THE ATTACK.

was at hand. Nothing could be done.
We were too close to the danger, and the
fright had the same effect on me that 1t
had on Lawrence. 1t took away my
power of speech Instinctively
crawled out of the cab on to the side of
the engine. The train dashed on, and
an instant after | had disccrned the
form ! saw the monsters eyes flashing
through the darkness, green and yell
low by turns. Lawrence was still in the
cab, speeches., with fixed eyes and
finger outstretched toward the animal.
His expression was frightful to look
upon. The whole scene was so horri.
flying that it was photographed on my
brain SO clearly as to make me able to
describe every detail that occurred in
those few short seconds.
"As the train approached the lion
could see 1t prepare to spring. and final
ly when the leap was made the situation
was SO dramatic as to be almost theat-
rical in effect. The headlight of the en-
CINE threw its rays on the crouching
animal, and when it plunged into the
flood of light it looked as if its mission
of death would surely be successful.
The force of the jump was astonishing,
and as the body of the beast crashed
into the edge of the engine front the
sound echoed through the silence again
and again. To jump then was certain
death, for we were right in the center Of
the trestle, and yet, as the lion made its
leap. could almost feel its hot breath
on my throat. When the engine
crashed into the beast, or it crashed
into the engine, whichever way you
wish to put it, the lion fell back on to
the trestle writhing as if in frightful
agony, and then, for the first time.
realized that the danger was over.
II learned afterward that the cougar,
after we had struck it. lodged on the
cross-ties of the trestle. 1t was found
there by the train crew of Engine No.
49S, who picked it up and brought it to
Skykomish. There it was skinned.
The claws were taken by some of the
other firemen and engineers, who had
watch charms made of them, which arc
very attractive. The beast was still
alive when the men of No. 498 discov-
cred 1t, but its hind legs were cut off,
and when the men got down to investi.
gate, they kept at safe distance until
1t was known to be dead. In fact, Fore
man John c. Wright would not go near
it until he had emptied couple Of
chambers of his revolver into it. Then
they fastened it to the cow-catcher and
took it to Skykomish."
