A Snag In the Way.

This is what is likely to happen: Depew
and Morton will become such warm rivals
that the president will not dare give the
appointment to any New Yorker. MIR.
Reid, on the principle that one good turn
deserves another, will resign his chances
in favor of his friend Hay, and Mr.. Hay
Will get the prize. AT least this is my
guess. 1t will be pity to deprive London
of the bliss of having DIR. Depew for its
prize after dinner talker but if Mr.. Hay
becomes the successor to MIR. Bayard this
country will get a first class diplomatist
Mr.. Hay has had a great deal of experience
in the diplomatic world. He has been at
Paris, at Berlin, at Madrid, in diplomatic
roles He knows the ropes.
In Washington Colonel Hay is one of
the best known and most popular of men.
He is still young in appearance, although
he was President Lincoln's secretary. He
lives in beautiful house here and enter
tains great deal. Colonel Hay, as every
one knows, has genius for literature.
His Pike county ballads are famous
throughout the world. His and Colonel
Nicolay's life of Lincoln is notable pro-
duction. l wish Colonel Hay were not so
indolent. If he We're not rich and had to
work for a living, he would produce more
things which would reflect credit upon
himself and his country. 1t is in him, but
he is too lazy to bring it out
Senator Allen of Nebraska is gaining
reputation as the hector of the senate. He
dearly loves to take up the political record
of his fellow senators, to put them on the
gridiron, blow up a slow fire and toast
them. He is an adept ut this business.
The worst of it is, from the victim point
of view, that he has such a quiet, smooth,
unctuous way. He looks up benignly from
behind his spectacles, apparently as inno
cent as IL lamb and as harmless as cooling
dove and then proceeds 70 make gaping
wounds in the hides of his adversaries and
to pour vinegar into them. Even Mr..
Chandler Is afraid of him, and he is a very
bad man before whom the New Hampshire
varmint finchcs. Some of these days
there will be purring match between
these two worth going miles to see Though
the hector of the senate, Mr.. Allen is pop
ular with all his colleagues. He rarely
leaves u sting, except to pride.

BREATH MIGHT DEFILE HIM.-Con.
sidering the great claims of progress
made in al fields by the Japanese, it is
interesting to note the curious way in
which the japanese crown prince and
heir apparent takes wiring lessons.
The young prince is surrounded by a
number of pretty little girls, who are
always about to wait on him, every one
of them being entrusted with certain
duty. Thus one girl prepares the India
ink for the prince, another fixes up
the bamboo pens, which are Used to
draw the heavy and picturesque Japa-
nese characters; as soon as the writing
teacher enters the room several of the
little "musmes" rush toward him and
tie fine silk shawl around his face, so
as TO cover both mouth and nose.
This precaution is taken in order that
his breath may not dehle the royal
prince. OF course. he must not address
the prince by word OF mouth; he is
compelled to draw the letters for the
prince, who is to initiate them. and the
teacher can only express his satisfac-
faction or dissatisfaction by nodding or
shaking his head.

NlEDICIN Al.

Women get plenty OF sympathy after they
are dead. Tom Hood made very pathetic
picture in his Bridge of Sighs," but the
probabilities are that the woman needed
sympathy great deal more before she died
than she did afterwards Thousands of wo-
men are enduring much worse things than
death. The most distressing thing about it
all is that il is needless.
Uterine troubles are considered well-nigh
incurable. Women seem TO think that they
must go on bearing these things forever. To
be sure, some of them make an effort to ge-
well by going to their physicians, but thou.
sands are deferred from his, both because
they have seen that it was not likely 10 do
much good, and because they knew that the
first thing the physician would insist upon
would be the examinations and local treat
ment SO justly abhouent to every modest
woman. These things are generally as un-
necessary as they are distasteful. Every
woman can be made strong and healthy by
the use OF DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrp-
tion. II is a most marvellous medicine for
all forms of female weakness and disease.
1t is a wonderful purifier and cleanser. 1t
acts directly on one set of organs, and on no
other, but in doing this. it frequently cures
troubles that were seemingly of an entirely
different character and origin. disorder
OF the distinctly feminine organs IS likely TO
cause all sorts OF symptoms, and careless
doctors frequently doctor women for neural
gia, ordyspepsia, or insomnia, when the real
trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine

any woman well Sometimes when disease
has run on so long that the entire system IS
debilitated, It is necessary to use in connec-

blood purifier, and blood maker, without an
equal in the world There is no case so
severe that these two great medicines will
not cure it. Thousands of women have
frequently testified TO this fact.
