If maids be worth the winning, Then are they worth the trying: The perjuring and shining: The uprolled eyes and signing: The guessing and digressing, Since love is all imbuing. The coaxing and the pressing: It all is worth the doing. If maids be worth the wiving. Then are they worth the wooing, The scheming and contriving; The billing and the cooing; Especially the billing" That leads to mans undoing: Costly the pace and killing. But maids are worth the suing.

Sir Thomas Lauder Brunton of Lon-- don. the well known medical authority declares that all visions are due to dis ease. In his opinion the seer of Bibli- cal history was only an epileptic. In Sir Thomas's opinion if Mahommed had been dosed with bromide of potassium when ha had visions there would have been no Koran and no Mohammedan- ism, for there seems to be little doubt that the visions were the result of physical disease.

London Daily News: The story which has given rise to so much ecitement is that Lady Margaret Marsham, sister of the Earl of Romney. was at the point of death from cancer. The best medi- cal skill had been expended in vain: her throat was almost completely closed, and she could no longer swal- low any food. A lady friend went to pay her what it was thought would be a last visit. and while with her the guest remembered that in her child hood she had heard her nurse say that cancer could be cured by violet leaves. The remedy was simple. it could easily be tried, could not harm. and was the only remaining hope. A handful of fresh green violet leaves was procured and macerated in a quart of water Lint was soaked in the greenish liquid and applied to the outside of the throat near the seat of the disease. This pro cess was repeated daily; the growth subsided and at last quite disappeared, and Lady Marsham is now quite well and is staying at Maidstone.
 So far the story is undoubtedly au- thentic. and 10 many even one such story will carry conviction. I regret, however, that I was unable to obtain any medical opinion bearing directly on the matter. The new remedy appeared to be regarded with a certain covert hostility, as thought it were altogether too ridiculous that an old nurses story should achieve what medical science had regarded as an almost impossible cure. Doubt was cast upon the genu- ineness of Lady Marsham's cancer. but it is obvious that in a case where the best medical opinion had been taken, and the case had been regarded as hnna1gSG the dn1rht a little a fp in the day. I went to the Clinical Re search. association, who undertake mi croscopic analyses for physicians, and who were said to have pronounced the growth to be true cancer. The secre- tary cmphatically denied that any such statement had been made with their authority and pointed out that the as-

The city council has Committee

after needed repairs and work there
on and yet one of the principal streets
in the city, the one just south Of the

place for the manufacture of every
species Of stink known. A few dollars
expense would pave the 100 feet or so
and keep the water where it is de-
signed to be on its cement water

has some wooden men on that COM
mittee he had better appointa sub

after the matter. AS it is now a

the tent, the side walls of which were

MINISTER'S DISCOURAGED.
Prospects for Conclusion of the Ne

Growing Darker.

Picking, July 17.-The ministers OF
the powers now freely admit that the
prospect of conclusion of negotia-
tions is growing darker. The situa-
ton is most serious, as the deadlock
has continued for more than month.
The meeting arranged for Tuesday
was postponed because it was appar-
ent that the proceedings would be
fruitless. 1t was at the meeting OF
July II that the ministers reached
some thing in the nature of an agree
ment as to the indemnity. Rlt almost
Immediately radical difference devel-
oped between Great Britain and Rus
STA as to the details of the plan OF
payment. All the ministers were in
accord with the scheme early in June,
subject to the approval of their gov
ernments; but Great Britain disap-
proved the agreement ON the ground
that it did not adequately protect her
commercial interests. The neutral
ministers assert that either Great
Britain or Russia must make material
concessions before conclusion of the
agreement is possible. Meanwhile the
committees of the ministers are work
ing upon comparatively unimportant
details, such as Improvements in navi-
cation, but if the financial question
was settled the negotiations could be
closed in day. Ii Hung Chang keeps
sending strenuous requests to the min
listers of the powers to present COM
plete plan. He represents that China
is willing to accept any reasonable
terms and is chiefly anxious to know
definitely what the powers require, so
that she may begin compliance with
the terms. The ministers regard news.

say, for the deadlock.
