Birth-marks which mark and mar
the outside Of the body are grief to
every mother whose children may
bear them. But for every child who
bears a birthmsrk on the skin there
are many who bear an indelible birth
mark on the mind. Nervous mothers
have nervous children and many a
man and woman owes an irritabl
and despondeut t. mperment to those
days of dread when the mother wait
ed the hour of her maternity. The
use of DR.. PiPrCes FavOrite PresCrip-
ton strengthens the mother for her
trial. With strength comes buoyan-
cy OF spirits and quietness of mind,
which ia one Of the happiest gifts a
mother can bestow on her offspring.
BY giving vi or and elasticity to the

with the pain of maternity and makes
the bsby's advent as natural and as

THE DISAPPEARING CAMERA
How Pictures Of French Fortifcations
Were Taken.

"a travelling photo salesman
showed me very ingenious trick
camera the other day." said local
dealer. 'It was a box about six
inches square, set inside of what
seemed an ordinary wicker basket.
When desired, the box could be
pushed down through the basket, SO
that its top was on level with the
wicker bottom. The top of the box
was also covered with wicker and the
basket would then appear to be per-
fectly empty, the camera protruding
meanwhile from the under side. An
upward push would restore it to its
original position, and the lens
worked through small hole near the
end. The continuance was evidently
of foreign manufacture, and the sales
man told me that it had been made
especially for an agent who was sent
to take pictures of Notifications on
the French frontier. According to
his story, which is little romantic,
but which l have no reason to doubt,
the spy would saunter out, dressed
as a tourist, and carrying the lunch
basket on his arm. When an officer
came along he would push down the
box and show him that the basket was
perfectly empty. It never occurred
to the guards to turn the thing up
side down, or it would have been
promptly confscated. The present
owner carries it around as a curio, and
it is certainly the oldest little ma
chine l ever laid eyes on. As far as
/ know it is the only camera in the
world that is mounted on a disappear
ing carriage. IN. o. Times-Demo-

TOO MANY RICH DINNERS
BIS DEATH WARRANT.
Mr.. Hobart Would be a Well Man
To-day But For His
Social Life.

IfMr. Hobart had followed the
quiet life which he led at Paterson it
is the belief of the physicians that he
would be well man to-day, says a
Washington letter. He is suffering,
as many eminent and popular men
have, for social success in Wa'hing-
ton. No Vice President of the Unit.
ed States for generation has been as
popular In society as Mr.. Hobart. No
man in Washington has been in such
constant demand as a guest at the ell.
borste twelve-course dinners, which
are the custom of the rich in Wash
ington. Mr.. Hobart said at the end
of the last session of Congress- ses-
sion which lasted from the first Mon
day in December until the 4th OF
March, only ninety days-that he had
attended eighty-nine dinners in sue
cession. While he was always tenn
perate in the use of wines he was as
fond of good things to eat as he was
of good fellowship and good societ!
and the mortal illness which has over
taken him is another proof of the fact,
so often stated by physicians, that no
man, no matter how vigorous, can
long survive if he allows himself to
eat twelve-course dinners every night
Mr.. Hobalt's strong constitution was
equal to any amount of work, but not
to the epicurean life of Washing ton.

ners, Of which he spoke as an incident
of his life, were really his death war.

STERLING. KENTUCKY. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER A.
PARLIAMENT'S STAFF.
Salaries Paid Aggregate Nearly Quar-
ter of a Million Yearly.

ter of a Million Yearly.
Most people think that all men,
bers of parliament are elected for a
brief period only, and not for life.
In most cases that is so. At the
same time there are no fewer than
&C IN. P.'8" who are elected for life.
Not only so, but, unlike other NJ.
P.'s, they are paid salaries, and in one
year they get as much as G42,061 out
of the taxpayers pockets.
Parliaments come and parliaments
go, but these &C gentlemen 60 on for
ever-that is, till they die.
To be plain, they form the perma-
nent staff of the house of parliament.
They run the legislative show, and
without them the elected NJ. P. and
the hereditary lord would be in pic
kle.
The biggest salary paid to men,
Der of the permanent staff is $4,000,
and this sum is paid to the clerks of
both the house of commons and the
house of lords. Each also gets house
rent free.
The two clerks assistant get FL 800
apiece. But the clerk assistant of the
house of commons has the advantage
| over his brother in the lords, for he
gets a house as well,
The second clerk assistant and the
sergeant-at-arms in the house of COM
mons both get FL, 200, and the latter
also gets house.
The reading clerk of the house Of
lords gets 5000, while the examiner
for standing orders and the deputy
sergeant Of the house Of commons
each gets $500.
Two salaries of $500 each are given
to the yeoman usher of the house of
lords, who is also secretary to the lord
great chamberlain, and to the assist
ant sergeant-at-arms in the house Of
commons. The deputy sergeant-at-
arms in the house gets only $3.50;
but the peers are so well behaved that
he has nothing to do.
The cost of these plums-places in
the permanent staff of the houses of
parliament-is in the house Of lords
G7,45O a year, and in the house of
commons $4,000. In addition to
these there are II clerks in the estab-
lishment of the house Of lords who di-
vide f10,73O a year between them
while "a clerks in the house Of com
mons share out 915,881 year.
The regulation of the staff, includ-
ing their salaries and pensions, is in
! trusted to a committee of the house.
The clerk of the parliaments, the
clerk of the house of commons, the
gentleman usher of the black rod and
the sergeant-at-arms in each house
are appointed by the crown. The sec,
ond and third clerks at the tables Of
the house of lords and commons are
appointcd-thc first by the lord chan.
celIor and the others by the prime
minister.
The appointments Of the clerks
however, are vested in the clerk Of the
parIiaments and the clerk Of the house
of commons, with absolute freedom Of
selection. SO important are these lat
ter appointments held to be that the!
are never thrown open to genera
competition, though all candidates
nominated have to pass an examina'

WEDDING PARTIES.
extraordinary Condolences That Have
Occurred in Matrimonial Affairs.

Occurred in Matrimonial Affairs
At Aberystwith some little time
tince a wedding was solemnized in
which all the parties concerned bore
The name of Jones. The bridegroom
was Richard Jones, the bride Eliza
beth Jane Jones; the witnesses were
John Robert Jones and Anne Jones.
Furthermore, the minister officiating
was Rev, r. Z. Jones and the registrar
Rev. William Jones.
Extraordinary as this may appear,
it is capped by wedding which took
place in Yorkshire some years ago,
when not only were the bride, bride
groom, minister and registrar all
named Brown, but the chest man"
the verger Of the church, and even the
sexton all rejoiced in a similar patro-
nymic, probably establishing rec
ord in this direction in connection
with wedding parties. e,
Not so very long since, a gentle
man who had been deaf and dumb for
Is years was Joined in holy matri-
mony with lady similarly afflicted.
The ceremony was performed by a
blind minister, and the gentleman
who gave away the bride was support
ed on wooden legs, so that the major
ity of the parties were more or less
impaired. The affair created quite
small sensation at the time, and was
} commented upon by the press.
A very mixed wedding occurred in
a Californian church few years ago.
The bridegroom was gentleman of
color" the bride was as white as Amer
lean girls usually are; the clergyman
was Hindu who had been converted
to Christianity; whilst the coachman
who drove the happy pair to church
was Mongol, with skin as yellow as
an orange. Four colors of the rain
bow were thus represented at the we'd
ding in question; an event which the
writer believes is unprecedented in
the whole history of marriages.
Only few weeks since "cycling"
marriage took place at a rustic church
in one of the home counties. At this
function the bride, bridegroom and
other parties assisting in the cere-
mony were all attired in elborate
wheeling costume. They rode up to
| the church on their machines, went
through the ceremony, and then rode
away in the direction of an inn, where
the breakfast was served. So far from
the officiating clergyman Directing to
the rather eccentric affair, he seemed
heartily amused by it, and everything
went, to use an appropriate metaphor,
con wheels for the wedding party.
Returning to the subject of coin
cidences in names in connection with
marriage ceremonials, the writer was
once informed, on good authority, of
a wedding which took place in a
northern town, where the bridegroom
was Mr.. Thomas Long and the bride
a Miss Alice Short. The minister
was a gentleman of the name of Biggs,
and the registrar was known as Little.
To crown the whole business, one of
the bridesmaids signing the register
was actually Miss Small, the incident
forming one of the most extraordinary
condolences on record.-London Tit
Bits.
