How Women
May Keen Young

The real secret of youthful features
in women Is regular menstruation.
If there is an irregularity of any
nature-ifthe menses be suppressed
or too scanty, too profuse or painful
the trouble will show in the face.
The eyes will be encircled with
black, the skin sa11ow; b1otches
and pimp1es will appear, and the
sufferer, although young in years,
will appear old in looks. The un-
failing remedy is

The GERMAN REicHsrAc.
THE SPEECH FROM THE THRONE
OF THE EMPEROR.
Uy Telegraph to virEinian-Pilo,o

Berlin. Nov. 1.-THE Reichstag re-
assembled to-day The speech from
the throne dwelt at considerable length
on the events in China. which have
excited such deep emotion among civ
ilized people, saying:
'kanatical hate and dark supersti-
ton, melted by INSCRIPTIONS advisers
OF the court have driven misguided
masses of Chinese to acts of atrocity
against the outposts of Western civil
ization and Christian worship dwelling
peacefully in their midst.
My Minister died at the hands of
an ASSASSIN, in Il courageous attempt
to overcome the rising peril. The
foreigners at the capital saw them
selves threatened, life and limb. These
things of horror united the civilized
community, where otherwise there was
a divergence. All nations against
which the unparalleled onslaught was
directed drew closer. Their sons
fought with one mind, shoulder TO
shoulder, even as yonder standards
float side by side. SO the Governments
show themselves III council, united
with the sole wish To restore an or
derby state of things as speedily as
possible, and, after the punishment of
the chief culprits, avert a recurrence
i'll the future OF SUCH II disturbance oil
the peace of the world"
In announcing the relations of Ger
many with all the Powers TO be good.
the speech recalls His Maestys sorrow
at the assassination of King Humbert,
of Italy, saying he was my ally and
dear friend, who fell victim to
daInnable outrage
The speech then proceeds:
Il would sooner have consulted the
u ,f1cr IA in, t,f
and the difficulty of furnishing reiia-
bic information. Whenever the Reich
stag could form decisions or estimate
the expenditure required the govern
ment felt confident that the represcn-
tatives would not refuse their subse-
Quent sanction to the necessary eX-
penditure."
Turning to domestic affairs, His Ma
jesty said that in consequence of the
natural growth of the revenue and the
increased taxation voted last session
more abundant funds We're available
in almost every branch of life in the
empire especially for measures for the
benefit OF workers and for the defense
OF the country. A customs tariff. he
added. would probably be laid before
the Bundesrath during the present SEES
sion.
The speech coASluded by announcing
various bills which would be intro
dUced.
At the conclusion of the speech from
the throne, Emperor William was
warmly cheered and Count Won Bue-
low, the Imperial Chancellor, formally
declared the session opened

beginning. as there are $1,000 chill
dren of school age without school
facilities. most of whom would enroll
IL they could. Commissioner Brum-
baugh says the hope of the island is in
the public schools and that the illite-
racy in Porto Rico must be reduced.
The report says that the present school
law should be wholly abrogated at the
coming session of the insuar legisla-
ture and new law passed.

]. Captured a strane1ine nny.

One Of the so-ealled strangling bugs
%as captured in the county iail ward
at Media, Pa, by Jail Warden Thomas
S. Fields. Mr.. Fields did not know of
the bloodthirsty and dangerous char
acter Of his captive. but, judging by the
looks Of the insect that It was danger
Gus, handled It carefully. He sue
eeeded in brushing it into a glass Jar.
and a few minutes afterward dropped
a live mouse into the jar to watch the
result. The bug in a minute made a
sudden dash upon the neck Of the
mouse, and stung or BIT it in such a
way as TO cause It to keel over dead,
the bug hanging on to it and sucking
Its blood. Mr.. Fields, Mortified at hay
ing such an insect in his possession,
and without knowing that It was ene
of the aliens from Africa, closed the jar
tightly and smothered It to death. It
is of dark brown color, about two and
half inches long, has a strong pair Of
wings, and is armed with a sharp
pointed Sucker" or sword, and two
crab-like claws.

In New Guiana the village of Tupu-

are all supported on piles and stand
out in the ocean considerable dis

the villagers from the attacks of the

out for victims. Other villages in this
queer land are perched UP In trees for
the same reason-Spare Moments.

NOT BYDEPUTY.
Queen Victoria Is said to Be Her own
Hoasekeeper


Hoasekeeper.
an sure very many Of my readers,
writes E. NJ. Jessop n the August Pail
Mall Magazine, will be glad to hear
that, notwithstanding the enormous
amount Of business with which she
has to deal. the queen is 10 a large ex-
tent her own aousekeeper. The first
thing every n orning a paper of sugges-
tons from the clerk of the kitchen is
placed before her, from which in her
own hand she orders the menus Of the
day, both for herself and such Of her
grandchildren as may be with her.
These menus are at once sent to the
Kitchens. gardens and other depart
ments concerned, to obtain the viande
required, and their contents duly en-
tered, together with the quantities of
materials used, In the books which are
kept in the royal kitchen. The queen S
chef receives a salary e1 500 pounds per
anuum, and has as satellites four mas
ter cooks, two roasting cooks, six APP
preBtiees and six kitchen m aids besides
pantry men and other lesser lights. In
addition to the great kitchen at Wind
scr there are the greenreom for veget-
ables, and the confectionery and pas
try kitchen. This last is a most impor-
tant department, controlled by con-
feetioner with six assistants and fitted
UP in the most complete manner. AL
her majestys favorite cakes, biscuits,
pastry, ETC., are made here and sent by
special messengers several times a
week to whichever of her residences
the court may be staying at All
stores at Windsor are under proper su.
pervision,. no materials being served
out without proper requisition signed
by the head of the department con-
cerned. Not bag of dog biscuits can
even be ordered for the kennels unless
on the proper printed form. In fact
the whole vast establishment is praeti-
caHy as methodically conducted as any
great London business. This method.
which was evolved by her majesty and
the late prince consort out of the chaos
which descended from the days of
George ", entirely does away with
waste, extravaganza and the abomina,
bic perquisite system, and moreover il
ena lies her majesty to exercise that
wise control over her finances which
ena les her to keep the grandest es,
tablls hment on relatively the smallest
royal income IN Europe.
