Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkhams advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo- men. Here are two such letters:

has been practically invisible to the world. No one save his only brother and his confi- dential secretaries and servants know even what he looks like, and his subjects, like the rest of the people on the continent, can only form conjectures as to the nature of his appearance.
 This hermit ruler is the regning prince of Liechtenstein, an independent sovereign, who, theoretically is still in state of war against Prussia. For, when, in 1866, the various sovereign states of Germany were called upon to array themselves either on the side of Austria or of Prussia, the Prince of Liechtensten cast in his lot with Aus tria, boldly declared war against Prussia and put on war footing his army of about 300 men.
 After the conclusion of the campaign Prussia concluded peace with the various states that had taken part in the conflict But somehow or other the principality of Lechtenstein was overlooked or forgotten by Bismarck, and as if his attention had been drawn to the matter it would have re- suited in a demand for indemnities the prince naturally forebore to call the atten- tion of Prussia to the neglect. No peace having been concluded, therefore, between the two countries, they are theoretically still in a state of war.
 Few people are aware of the reason for this mysterious seclusion of the Prince of Liechtenste'n, who, in spite of the small ness of his dominions, Is one of the very wealthiest rulers of the world. The fact of the matter is that he is afflicted with an intestinal ailment of such character as

debars him from the society of his fellow creatures, and to render isolation neces- sary.
 He entertains large parties of guests at his various castles during the shooting season, and likewise at his palace al Vienna during the carnival week. But while his guests are never permitted to want for anything, and are simply overwhelmed with delicate attentions, they never set eyes on their host throughout the entire time they are under heath his roof, and if they have anything to communicate to him they must do so by letter.
 It is very sad life, and yet that 1t has not rendered the prince a misanthrope is shown by his boundless charity and philanthropy and by the number of his scientific studies and works which have won for him an hon orary membership of the Imperial Academy of Science of Austria. He is close upon 50 years of age now.
 His next heir is his brother, Francis, now Austrian ambassador at St. Peters burg, and who will succeed not only to his vast estates, but likewise to the sovereignty of Liechtenstein and to his dukedom of Troppau.

 The feature of the evening was the play, which somehow passed off unusually well. Jennie, as the queen of the court of India. played a beautiful little drama of hatred. forgiveness, love and passion She alter nately fell in and fell out with her court and the play wound up with a magnificent exit, in which I bore her train off the stage and the spaniels yelped at her heels.
 The curtain call was vigorous that Jennie came back twice. Then, after all the applause, we got into our evening dresses and prepared for the dance, with which our holiday revelry was to wind up.
 In the midst of one of the waltzes, sud- denly noticed that Jennie stood apart from us, and that she was talking instead of dancing-a most unusual thing for her-and to the strange dark chap.
 As passed her, leaning upon Jacks arm, heard her say:
 But if I cannot be a real queen, why should I be a mock one?"
 The dark fellow looked at her in strange way.
 But why not be a real one?" said he.
 Jack and I passed on just at that mo- ment.
 The next time around I heard him say, Because If you enjoy being a queeen, you may as we'll be real one. With your beauty. and your talent, and your loveliness for you see I know all about you from your brother"
 At this we passed on.
 Later in the evening Jennie came flying over to me. "It Is all real" said she, 1T am going to be a queen after all."

 Don't be such a dampener, Jessie," said she. "I mean the queen part He's a

fore, had a full week to prepare for the great New Year ball and spectacular and histrionic entertainment" which we styled the theatricals, which were to come off be- fore the ball.
 I may explain that Jennie had stage as- pirations and, though the good teachers suppressed them, all our entertainments to please Jennie, took that form.

 "Oh, I have spoken to old John about it and he is going to lend me all his spaniels for the evening. He says they are not quite old enough to sell and I can have them on the stage that night
 How we worked to get Jennie dressed in her court array! And how delighted we were when she was completed! She wore a gown of white muslin embroidered in the front with big gold stars. The back, which should have been of black brocaded satin was of cambric, with immense white and gold figures, carefully glued in place. She was truly superb!
 Her waist was a wonderful thing in blue and gold embroidery; and dare not say how many of us worked upon it-nor how many hours.
 Among our guests was Jack Wilbur. Jack was Jennie's brother, and he had brought with him a strange dark looking fellow with slight foreign accent. Jack was at school at Harvard and this forbidding young man was his chum. Jack seemed to be very proud of him and introduced him all around with much care.
 But we all except Jennie, treated him carelessly and I must say that the poor fellow seemed to feel himself left out in

The funniest girl I ever knew was Jennie.
 We were at boarding school together that year and Jennie was the belle of us all, queen of our social set, and the prettiest girl in school.
 We all acknowledged Jennie's belledom and bowed down before it, humbly acknowl edging it as school girls will. No queen in real life ever ruled subjects as devout as we, before Jennie.
 We were fond of theatricals in our school, and in the plays which were given-which by the way were always of high life-Jennie was our queen. One evening We would place her upon the throne of England, and she would rule astutely from Victoria's golden chair. The next night she would sit under India's draped canopy and we, her subjects would go back and forth, while she representing the wife of the Rajah of Ka- purthula, would hold high sway.
 Many were the dramas we wrote Some 1over-like, others gory. One evening in savage mood Jennie as the Dowager Elm press of China, cut off all our heads and we, rolling around headess upon the stage, con- trived to tumble off in the pit beside, while Jennie ruthlessly gave orders for further slaughter. The teachers did not approve of these plays, but let them go, as fad, to be played out.
 We were looking forward to great New Hear fete when all the young ladies and gentlemen of our acquaintance should visit us, It was to wind up our holiday vaca- tion and the day following we were to enter upon our studies. We were not allowed to go home that year except for Christmas day and as most of us lived at distance very few took the holiday away. We, there
