Francisque Sarcey, the French crit
ic, who is as democratic as he is court
ly, and as courtly as he is brilliant,
was at Monte Carlo a few weeks ago,
whittier he had been called to give a
series of lectures under the patronage
of the Prince of Monaco, says the Chi
cago Record. After the first of the lee
lures an officer of Prince Charles
court bore to NJ. Sarcey a message
from his master inviting him to an au-
dience. His Highness was not quite
ready to receive his guest, and, to i'm
prove the interval before he should be
announced, NJ. Sarcey leaned his head
on his hand and went to sleep, when
he was awakened by a gentle hand.
He thought he heard some one laugh
ing, but was too drowsy to be sure OF
anything. The deuce!" he cried, II
quite forgot the Prince. Do you
know?" he continued, to the gentle
man who had offered his arm, presum-
ably to conduct him to the Princes
apartments, Il would rather go to
bed"
"Ah, but, NJ. Sarcey," replied the
other, Il wouldn't for the world OPP
press you if you need rest. Would you
rather defer your call until tomorrow? %
Not at ALL" replied Sarcey. we
must at least be civil to the great ones
of the earth
At that Sarcey's escort, who was in
fact Prince Charles, burst into laugh
ter and introduced himself All,

in no wise discounted, this is treason!

you come to the mountain when the

Dr. Gregory said to-day:
After few days of absolute quiet
Admiral Schley will be out again. For
seven weeks he was floating on a steel
clad vessel, in an atmosphere the tenn
perature of which, he says, ranged
from 100 to 100 degrees, without the
food that men require in hot weather
and with the awful strain of watching
and waiting for the Spanish squadron
to come out of the harbor of Santiago.
This was followed by the excitement Of
the action of July 3, and of the recep-
ton of the squadron in New York.

nuxing Godshin in Chinn.

1t is possible for any Chinaman, or
even any Chinese woman, to become
deity by paying for the honor. A few
years ago a rich and devout Chinese
lady died in SoochOo. Her friends
thought that an apotheosis was no
more than her due, and communicated
with the priests, who interviewed the
gods on the subject and discovered
that the God of the Left Little Toe
Nail had no wife. The old lady was
accordingly married to his godship and
is now enrolled as the Goddess of the
Left Little Toe-Nail." The honor cost
the old lady's estate over $4,000.

communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, 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 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 II she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer of assistance.

these remedies rout the worst cases of
