DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and tor seven
years she withstood its severesl tests
but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered way to recovery
by purchasing of us bottle of Dr.
Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton, and was 50 much relieved on
taking first dose, that She slept all
night; and with two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. c.

Some years ago the hate Dr. colo.
neftn undertook 10 make q bottle of
port that should not cost more than
threepence which the best judges
should be unable to distinguish from
the highest priced wine that could be
obtained In the island. The preparation
was compounded openly before large
assembiage. and three competent
judges were selected to test the prod
uct. The basis OF this compound was
cider, colored with an infusion Of log
wood. To this he added a few grains
Of tartaric acid and salt of tartar to
give respectively a rough taste end a
mellowed appearance. When three
glasses OF this compound and three
glasses Of recognized port were pre-
sented to the judges to taste and pass
their verdict. without being told which
was which, they unanimously pro-
nounced In favor Of the doctors cheap
preparation and rejected the genuine
port. What they would have said the
next morning If they had consumed q
bottle of this preparation remains @
matter Of conjecture.-London Chroni

The party was conveyed by special
train and royal yacht to Osborne. They
were then assembled in an anterOom,
and after being instructed in the re-
spective parts they were to play were
admitted one by one to the presence of
her Majesty. The knight on entering
the room made his Obeisance twice, and
advancing close to her Majesty bowed
n third time and dropped on one knee.
Her Majesty then rested Il sword on
his shoulder for n moment and uttered
the words ''Sr - mentioning only
the Christian name). She next placed
the ribbon of the order round his neck
and attached the badge to n clip which
had already been fastened on his
breast. He then raised his arm, and
the Queen placing her hand on his
wrist, he conveyed it to his lips, rose,
bowed and retired backward.
The moment the door closed behind
him he was seized by two officials, who
stripped him of his ribbon and badge
and placed them hurriedly in case,
which they handed to him with direc-
tions to deposit it with his great coat
The correspondents friend did not like
this. He would have desired that the
badge should remain always on his
uniform where the Queen had affixed
1t. After the whole party had been
decorated they adjourned to luncheon
and were conveyed back to London in
time for dinner.
