output in Great Britain, in consequence
of the extreme ease in which both are
medicine and the money may be made,
has yearly increased until 1t Is now
estimated that $50 hundred weight, or
about 100000 pills, are consumed each
week. In the United States the figures
run over 100000. This means that five
humans out of six take pill every seven
days.
The uses to which this mass of medi-
cines is put are of course manifold. The
majority are for so-called incurable dis
eases, while, of course, great portion
are panaceas. The advertising from the
business is enormous, $4,000 per week in
England, and $4,000 in America being a
modest estimate. The profits are said
to be monstrous, as the ingredients In
most cases cost little nothing.
America is a great, although uncon-
scious, believer in faith cure. Her gen.
orally extraordinary health has been by
some attributed to the fact that the
majority of her people, before calling a
physician, will dose themselves with
these ready-made pills.

Thereupon the indignant jehu sum-

the carriage had been used daily by
Prince Alexander and a young woman
who makes her living by singing at a
cafe concert. The young prince put in no
defence, but his guardians, one Of whom
is the prince Of Hesse and of the Rhine,
maintained that, being a minor, he could
not be legally compelled to pay the bill.
The judges. however, were of different
opinion, and they promptly decided in

because the prince of Oldenburg Is a
real prince and not an ordinary person."
and, second, because if this case were
decided in his favor coachmen would In

body might be mummified in three
different ways, and the price varied ac-
cordingly. In the first and most expen-
sive method the brain was extracted
through the nose by means Of an iron
probe, and the intestines were removed
entirely from the body through an in
cision made in the side with q sharp
Ethiopian stone The intestines were
cleansed and washed In palm wine, and.
after being covered with powdered aroma
tic gums, were placed in Canopic lars
The. body was then filed up with myrrh
and cassia, and other fragrant ana as
tringent substances, and was laid in ma
iron for seventy days 1t was then care
fully washed, and wrapped up in strips of
hne linen, smeared with gum. The cost
OF mummifying body in this fashion was

second method the H-in was not removed
at all, ana the 1ntest ere simply dis

body was laid in salt OF natron, which. 1t
Is said, dissolved everything except the
skin and bones. The best Of mummifying
in this manner was % minae, or nearly
$3.50. The third method was employed for
the poor only. It consisted simply of
cleansing the body by injecting some
several days The cost was very small.
If the friends Of the dead were too Door
to go to the expense of even the cheapest
of these methods, the body was soaked in
salt and hot bitumen, or In salt only. In
the salt-and-bitumen process every cavity
of the body was filled with bitumen, and
the hair disappeared. Clearly, it is to the
bodies which were preserved in this way
that the name mummy derived from

piled. The sailed and dried body Is easily
dlstinguishable. The skin is like paper,
the features and hair have disappeared
and the bones are very brittle and white
1t may be noticed that. the eyes were
sometimes removed and their places sup
piled by others Of ivory or obsidian. The
hair was also removed, and made into a
packet covered with linen and bitumen

bolic eye was engraved. The linen band

varied according to circumstances-as

employed for one mummy. They are gen.

the Mississippi river, where a badly de-
composed body of a man had been found
yesterday. From note left in one of the

formerly resided in North ST. Paul. The
note read as follows:

was learned that the man had been di-

at North ST. Paul. The remains were
taken to Hastings.
The remains of Mrs. Henry Strasburg,
who died at Browns Valley, Mimi, were

Oh broad acres, and lordly pleasure houses.
there are at least thirty Elton bows whose
lot is comparatively happy one.
At Elton today there is a small band of
eighteen boys who could walk all the
way from Brighton to John O. Greats on
their own prospective acres, IL suitably
arranged, and lind one of their own pa
lat1al homes awaiting them at the end
of every fifteen miles walk They might
also receive a title of peerage every ten
miles Of their journey without exhaustins
their future honors.
Twenty-four of the present-dav wear
ers of Eton jackets are heirs 10 tbirty
earldoms, twenty-five viscounties. and
th1rty-three baronies, In, addition to other
hereditary honors. They are also des-
tined to inherit forty-eight of the most
beautiful houses In England, some of
princely splendor, and almost as MANY
acres as are In three Of our English
counties.
rms statement of prospective heritage
is lar from eXhausting the glories of
Elton school boys, for Elton boasts three
royal princes. one of whom will anon
wear crown, and many an untitled how
whose millions would buy up half O
dozen earls in posse.
The social king of Young Eton," apart
from princes, is the Marquis Conyngham.
Who has been strangely named "Vic-
toria," and who is a marquis in his own
right. He is also twice an earl and
baron, and triple viscount, while five
mansions in England and Ireland call
him lord.
The future lord of most acres Is Lord
Herbert, big boy of eighteen, who will
sit In the house of lords as the fifteenth
Earl of Pembroke. His estates will cover
no less than ninety-four square miles, or
more than a third Of the county Of Mid
dlesex, and If he were disposed to walk
once round them he would have to face
two days good walking. In addition 10
this magnificent estate, he will have
five titles Of peerage and one of the high
est honorS in England.

rotary Of War Meiklejohn gave out for
publication today some interesting sta
tistics regarding the trade of the United
states with the islands of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. prefacing them
by calling attention to the fact that nor
NAL conditions Of trade have not yet
been fully restored in the islands
named. Returns for February show an
increase Of imports from the islands into
this country amounting to 1914, 40S, and a
corresponding increase of exports from
the United States to the islands of $685.
239, as compared with the same month q
year ago.
The trade Of the United States with the
Philippines, 1t Is said, begins to show
the natural growth due to the direction
of the attention Of American exporters
to the archipelago. While the exports
from our ports to the Philippine islands
for February of last year only amount
ed to $1,907, for the same month this year
they are more than nine times as much
being $19,529. For the eight months ended
with Feb. %, 1898, they were only $69, 235,
while for the corresponding period Of
the present fiscal year they show gain
Of nearly 70 per cent, reaching $117,021
Our direct importations from Manila for
February were $277.033, gain of nearly
so per cent over the same month last
year. Notwithstanding the decline Of
imports into the United States from the
Philippines during the months of active
warfare, the imports for the eight
months preceding March reached $751;
