Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue
contained in a bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liniment known.
''Mrs. A. Fielder, 1854 Palethorp St.,
Philadelphia, Pa, confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to be an ex-
cellent remedy for rheumatism, stiff
joints, bruises, etc., and thinks it
should always be kept in the house."

in favor of a substitute. Insist on get

has been Tilted by Prince Esterhazy.
For several months there have been
persistent rumors that Mrs. Langtry
would soon become the Princess Ester
haZy.
1t develops now that he purposely
avoided denying the report Of his pro-
jected marriage union with her be-
cause the story served to divert pub
lie attention from the court which he
has been paying for so many years to
the ex-Queen of Naples.
Ex-Queen Sophia is a sister of the
Empress of Austria, and she greatly
distinguished herself by the qualities
as military leader which she mani
tested when she directed the defence
of the fortress of Gaeta.
Queen Sophia took up her residence,
with her husband, in Paris after the
close of the war of 1870.
She devoted her time to horses, and
the King, during the first ten years of
his stay there, to dissipation of the
most unsavory character, and the last
ten years to eXtravagant piety and
bigotry. He died several years ago.
Not content with spending almost
her entire day in the saddle, the Queen
would frequently hire for few hours
either the now defunct Hippodrome or
the Cirque d'Ete, in the Champs Elys-
ees, and would practice there the same
equestrian feats, such as riding bare
ho otto IN IL
as those in which her sister, the EN-
press of Austria, was formerly wont
to indulge
She likewise started racing stable,
and still to this day runs horses UNI
der the racing name of Count Isola."
On the day that the Jersey Lily's"
famous horse, Norman, won one of the
great racing events of the year, the
Prince led her into the enclosure and
stands of the Jockey Club at New
market
Then came the report that she would
be again taken into society, the Prince
standing sponsor for her.
1t was argued that the turf would
be the easiest path for her; that it
would be made still easier when she
had the apparent backing of His Roy
al Highness.
But reaction set in within day or
two after the Prince escorted the beau
ty within the enclosure of the exclu-
sive Jockey Club.
The Lily's violation of the social
code had been too open and fragrant.
The act of the Prince began to make a
great stir.
1t was commented on most unfa-
vorably. Even the newspapers de-
plored it. Now comes this resolution
by the Jockey Club:
For the future, ladies other than
the wives, daughters and sisters of the
members of the club will be admitted
to the enclosures and private stands
of the club at Newmarket and on 9TH
er race courses, only on presentation
of voucher, signed by a member OF
the club, together with the payment
of e1."
These are troublesome days for Mrs.
Langtry, but she has doubtless grown
accustomed to such unpleasantries.

RULES FOR kNlTTERS.
How They shoald Fold Their Material
and Tools.

How They Shoa!d Fold Their Materials
and Tools.
In these days, when fair golfiacs
spend hours knitting stockings for
masculine relatives, considerable dis
cussion arises as to the proper meth
DDS of holding Their needles. Here
is what an authority on the subject
has to say.
'All knitters do not follow the same
mode of holding their needles. Much
depends apparently on who taught
them and where they picked up this
homely craft. However, in few cases
the method is guided by the wool en-
ployed, which necessitates a special
handling. For instance, the fine Shet-
land wool employed in making the re-
nowned and web-like comforts and
hosiery so luxuriously soft, loose and
elastic, needs evidently to be manipu-
lated with care and ease, hence the
knitter mostly holds her needle like
pen or pencil, with the short working
point downward, supported by the
thumb and two first fingers, while the
long idle one rises upward above the
knuckles.
'On the contrary, the stout Scotch
yarn used for the famous shooting
stockings and everlasting socks for
sports and hard wear, requires to be
pulled more tightly, so as to produce
the close and solid texture impervious
to dampness or any inclemency of the
weather Here the knitter, therefore,
has to keep her needler somewhat
firmly inside her hands, the longest
end downward, resting between the
palm and closed fingers, and the short
point upward between the thumb and
two first fingers.
"Often these two styles, over and be-
low the hands, are combined in third
method, when the right hand or work.
ing needle is left partly free in opposi-
ton to the left one inclosed inside the
hand, long end downward, rather like
a penknife when used as an eraser.
''In many schools, too, children are
not allowed to hold their needles up
ward for fear of accident, and for this
reason they learn to keep them down
between their palms."

ROYAL autographs Wanted.

When Andrew D. White, now United
States Ambassador at Berlin, was our
Minister to Germany nearly twenty
years ago, he received some queer let
ters from Americans, asking for his
influence in their behalf in court cir
cles. Perhaps the funniest of all was
an epistle from an old lady living in
the West, who inclosed in her letter
four pieces of white linen each some
six inches square. 1--WE are going to
give fair in our church." she wrote,
"and am making an autograph quilt.
want you to get me the autographs of
the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown
Prince and Bismarck, and tell them to
be very careful not to write too near
the edge of the squares, as a seam has
to be allowed for putting them tez
gether."

some Curious Compliments Is.

The compliments paid by the poor
are often put in an amusing way. One
old lady who was very fond of the rec
tor said to Mr.. Bernays: You know,
sir, us likes the rector, is ears is so
c4eapiI'--surely an odd reason for pa
rochial affection. Another admirer
once declared with regard to the
whole staff of clergy: You are all so
plain" Ga word of high commenda-
tion), but as for the vicar, 'e's beau
t!full" The greatest compliment,
though at the SANG time the most Gu
rious Mr.. Bernays ever heard, was
paid by a working man to a certain
bishop, famous for his simple kindli-
ness: What l likes bout the bishop

One of the latest additions to the cur
riculum of Partisan school of deport-
ment is a department for instruction
in the gentle art of blushing. This
would seem to point the way to the
passing of the end of the century girl
who is above such things. One of
the pupils declares it is easy to droop
the eyes and to affect bashfulness. But
it is not, she adds, easy to blush. The
latter, indeed, seems to be one of the
lost arts.

When Verne published his "Myster-
ious Island" and his 100000 Leagues
Under the Sea" his readers were
amazed at the acuteness and license Of
his imagination. How vast, how unat-
tainable the imagined feat of living
under water; of submarine navigation
was to the readers of Verne's stor-
les! Yet such life and such navigation
is no longer a matter of wonder. Sew
en- men went down in submarine boat
in 81 feet of water, at Baltimore, few
days ago, and remained for two hours
without inconvenience.
