Curing the Sick by Music.

Moratorium, which saturates the system
with harmony, has cot. held in posi-

nected with a piano. The body of the
cot, or what might be called the mat
tress, is in reality sounding box, con-

which obtains in the body of a violin OF
other stringed instrument. The person

iCONCLUDED

Lord Harry shook his head, then he
kissed the kings hand, and next Re
went and kissed Osra s hand very softly
and looked for the last time ON her
face, and he drew the golden pin from
his purse and he put it gently and delft
1y among her hair. And he took the
ruby necklace in his own hand and
olinohed it tight, and he said to King
Rudolf:
''Sire, there are some in the city that
knew me before, but have not known me
since have been in your guard, because
have altered my fa,e. Take care that
You so alter it that they do not know me
again"
Then the kings breath caught in his
throat, for he had loved Lord Harry
Culverhouse, and he asked again. rs
there no other way?'
''Harkr' said the other. II hear the
horses of your guard drawing near. I
hear them to east and west and north,
and do you not see shapes riding there
TO the south. across the river? If 1 ride
from here alive, shall be taken and the
truth must be known. For my sake and
hers, strike, sire
Then the king took Lord Harry Gull
verhouse by the arm and drew him to
him, saying:
Unjust it be so, Harry? And we have
lived as friends together.
1.-The sound of the hoofs is very near,
sire"
The king drew himself up to his
height and he raised his hat from his
head and bowed low to Lord Harry Gull
verhouse, and he said:
Now praise be to God for the restora-
ton of this gentleman to a sound mind
and may Christ grant him mercy for
the sake of his honorable death. I"
And he drew his sword from its sheath
and came up to Lord Harry Culver
house. who stood on the edge of the
bluff The king raised his sword and
struck with all his strength, and the
head split under the blow, and Lord
Harry Culverhouse fell dead from the
bluff into the river, holding the ruby
necklace in his clinched hand. And the
king shivered and a short sob burst from
him.
On this instant arose an eager, glad
cry, and 20 of the guard rushed forward,
greeting the king and rejoiced to see the
princess. A"d she. reused bv the noise

haps the necklace will be still in his
hand.
But one cried, "How came they
here?''
"Ah, sister," said the king, fixing
his eyes ON Osra, chow came you here?"
And she, reading in the kings eyes
the answer that he would have, said:
1.-The trooper compelled me to come
hither with him, and he threatened to
kill me if l would not give him my
necklace, but I refused, and then he
drew knife and menaced me with 1t,
and l fell into a swoon and knew no
more until awoke and found you here.
and now see that my necklace is gone. I"
Bring her horse" the king COM
manded, land ride in front and behind.
We will return to the city at the best
speed we may"
Then he mounted the princess on her
horse and rode by her side, supporting
her with his arm, and the troopers were
some way off in front and behind. And
the princess felt the pin again in her
hair, and. putting up her hand, she
pulled it out, and she said:
HE has given me back my pin. -
"Of whom do you speak?" asked the
king.
"Of Lord Harry Culverhouse. Is he
indeed dead, Rudolf?'
"Are you still dreaming?" answered
the king, with laugh. "What had that
fellow to do with Harry Culverhouse?'
but the pIn?" she cried.
MY wife set it in your hair before
you started, for she wished to replace
the one you gave to Lord Harry
''She did not touch my hair today,
cried the princess.
AYE, but she did, said he.
The princess suddenly fell to sobbing,
and she said:
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth.
Surely it was in truth Lord Harry Gull
verhouse?''
Then Rudolf drew very close to her.
and he said softly:
Sweet sister, the noble gentleman
whom we knew, he whom loved and
| who loved you in chivalrous Difference,
went from us two months ago. Be not
troubled about him, for now all is well
with him. But there was an unhappy
man with you, who was not Harry Gull
verhouse and who had murderous and
mad thoughts in his heart. Yet at the
end he also died, as readily and as
nobly as our dear friend himself would
have died for your sake. pray you ask
no more of him, but be contented to
know that though he died by the sword
yet he died in peace and willingly. But
of our dear friend, as we knew him,
think as much as you will, for the love
of an honest gentleman is good thing
| to think of. r"
The Princess Osra, hearing this, laid
| her hand in her brothers. hand, and fol

she said:

lit may be- I cannot tell, " said the
king.
"And if he has the necklace, said
she, "pray him to give that to you, and
sell it, Rudolf, and give the value of it
in gifts to the poor Yes, to all that are
unhappy and afflicted, even as the poor
man who was with me tonight.
$50 be it, Osra," said the king, and
he kissed her But she burst again sud-
denly into passionate weeping, calling
God to witness that her face was curse
to her and a curse to her friends and
praying the king to suffer her to take
the veil in q convent. that she might
trouble honest men no more. And thus
he brought her i'll a sad plight to the
+, palace and gave her into the arms of his
wife, still sobbing bitterly. And he
himself took the pin, and when the body
of the mad trooper was found, with his
own hand he covered the face and putt
the pin il the hand from which he took
the ruby necklace, and he sold the neck
lace and used the proceeds of it as his
sister had desired.
Thus the madness of Lord Harry Gull
yerhouse which was bred in him by the
beauty Of the Princess Osra worked its
way with him and brought him first
into peril of great villainy and at last
! to death. And his name passed no more
on the lips of any in Strelsau nor be-
tween King Rndolf and his sister, while
! the story that the king had told to the
troopers was believed by all, and none
save the king knew what Lord Harry
Culverhouse had done in his madness.
But Osra incurred for him and for
/ long while she would not go abroad or
receive any of the princes or mobiles who
came to the court, but lay still, sick and
full of grief, bewailing the harm that
she had wrought Yet as time passed
she grew again happy. for she was
young and the world was sweet to her,
and then, as King Rudolf had hidden
her, she remembered Lord Harry Gull
! verhouse as he had been before his mad
ness came upon him. Yet still more did
she remember how, even in his madness,
be had done her no harm, but had
watched beside her through the night
and had, as morning dawned, entreated
! death at the hands of the king, prefer
ring to die rather than that the talk OF
single idle tongue should fall foully
upon her name. Therefore she mourned
for him with secret tears.
But he, although no monument
marked his grave and although men
spoke of him only as the mad trooper
( who had robbed the princess, yet slept
soundly and at peace. and his right
hand lay clinched upon his heart and
in it the golden pin that had fastened
| the ruddy hair of Princess Osra.

AN EGG GAMBLERS UNION.
The Latest Addition to the Ranks of
Organized Labor.

The Latest Addition to the Ranks of
Organized Labor.
There are more odd occupations in
this great city than one can shake
stick at. Possibly many of them are
followed by a few honest folk elsewhere,
but here they call for small armies OF
toilers, who, in most cases, flock by
themselves. The "egg Gambler is now
to the fore, through the medium Of an
alliance with socialistic labor organi-
Zation. He believes that his condition
in life will be bettered if he enrolls
himself in the ranks Of organized labor.
It ought to be. Egg Gambling is dis
tinct and peculiar trade, that Of sorting
eggs into different grades. This is done
by holding up the egg in front Of can
die and Immediately determining it's
quality. To become good egg Gambler
a man must have quick, good eye and
be very deft with his hands, for he has
to handle many hundreds of eggs to
earn a pittance, and he must be careful
not to break them. Most Of these men
work in the big markets. The egg can
dlers say that formerly they were able
to make from $18 to $25 week, ac-
cording to the quickness Of the Gambler.
That was when there existed stI ong
English speaking egg gamblers union,
but the arrival of many foreign gamblers
brought about keen competition, and
now the east siders say they are not
able to earn more than from So to $6 a
week. Small wonder they want to COM
bine.
But a starvation wage is not half the
egg candler's tale of woe. They have to
| work in dark cellars whose walls are
! painted black, and even the keyholes OF
the doors are stuffed up. A candle is
| placed in an aperture in PARTITION and
egg after egg has to be held up before
| the candle. The GAMBLER must tell at a
glance whether the egg is fancy. choice,
good, fair, ordinary or poor, and each
! quality goes into separate basket. OF
course, when the eggs go to the stores
the poor eggs are not marked "poor, !"
but simply "eggs,'' and many of these
go to some of the large, cheap diaries
down town, where they fry them for
customers. Well, down in those holes
the men have to work 10 to Is and II
hours day, in sitting and generally

the chinks under the doors, and when
I few overripe eggs break the place be-

EYES MASSAGED.
Instrument Invented by n French
OcuIist For Use In MyOpia.

OcuIist For Use In MyOpia.
An instrument for massaging the eye
has been invented by Frenchman
named Dion and is said to have pro-
duced wonderful results It is particu-
larly valuable in treating myopla, or
short sight, a disease for which no rem
edy had been found hitherto, except the
wearing of glasses. The instrument
consists principally Of two tubes, which
can be fixed at various distances from
one another, according to the position
of the patients eyes. These tubes have
at the end two polished glasses, which
are pressed on the eyelids when the
operator touches a button which con-
trolls the two tubes. He can keep exact
account of the pressure exercised by
means of a dynamometer placed above
the button.
The instrument is very simple. It is
adjusted to the eye on the closed eye
lids at the exact point where the mas
sage is required. This is matter to be
determined by the oculist. The pressure
can be calculated to gram. The
patient never suffers any pain. At the
end of few minutes, eight or ten ordi-
narily, he feels a slight fatigue. The
massaging is Immediately stopped. This
instrument is above all applicable to
myopia, which is the most general Of
all affections of the eye. In this disease
the eye is deformed in such manner
that the rays coming from objects, after
having passed through the cornea and
the crystalline lens, form their image
too far in front of the retina and do not
influence the optic nerve sufficiently to
produce clear impression. The mas
saying instrument causes the hardening
of the eye to disappear and gradually
restores it to it's normal form. TIE
pressure exercised by the apparatus
brings the crystalline lens nearer to the
retina, and thus lessons the effect OF
refraction. York Journal.

It was Hnaenht edly bad case ot Ia grippe and recognizing t as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein. we concluded to make n a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and per manent cure.
