Arrived at Taku, which was later

was festooned with boughs and flowers,
and every station was profusely deco
rated with flags. He was received at
the station outside Picking by a man
DARN of the highest rank, and after the
preliminaries had been arranged was
allowed to enter the Forbidden City.
He was the first foreign prince that
ever had an interview with the far
famed empress dowager, Tsze Hsi An,
who allowed her curiosity to see this
princely envoy of the German war lord
to overcome her scruples. Her maj

thereof made his most courtly bow the
empress gave a little nod of her head,
with its adornments of peacock p1umes,
and a curious. shy wink of her small
almond shaped eyes. She never smiled,
but was keenly observant, though not
at all curious.
Through the imperial interpreter
she asked me the formal questions
about my journey and the warships
that were at anchor in the gulf of Pc
chilli, but she never inquired what 1
thought of China. 1 mentioned the IA
vorable impression that Picking had
made upon me, stretching my con-
science for the sake of being courteous
to lady, and predicted grand posi-
bilities for the future. She did not

SWIFTLY SWIMMING FISHES.

Few of us have an accurate idea of
the rate at which fishes swim. When
we say that a person is las fat as
porpoise," we hardly associate a quick
rate of swimming with that individual,
yet he and everybody else would like to
be able to get through the water as rap
idly. PROPOSES have been seen to dart
round and round a steamer travelling
seventeen miles an hour, thus proving
their capacity to swim at a greater
rate than that.
The dolphin may be placed on a level
with the porpoise, but the bonito has
occasionally been known to approach
forty miles for short distances.
Herrings in schools move steadily at
rate of between ten and twelve miles.
Mackerel swim much faster, and both
trout and salmon go at a rapid pace
when migrating UP stream for spawn
ing.
Whales are not fish in the scientific
sense, but it is interesting to note that
these monsters swim at a rate of six
teen miles an hour when excited, al
though their ordinary speed is estimat-
ed at between four and five miles.

PROFESSOR PETRIE's CAREER.

Professor William Flinders Petrie,
whose discoveries of Egyptian antiqui-
ties have so startled the world of anti
ouarians, is a born excavator with a
scent for hidden treasures which
amounts to positive genius. For TWEEN
ty years he has been rummaging in
Egyptian tombs and temples and has
brought to light more wonderful things
than all the other Psychologists COM
bined disclosing the secrets of human
life nearly 1000 years old When he
was a man of twenty-five, he began
surveying British remains and writing
cieverly on s1nductive Neurology" Pro-
fessor Petrie is a doctor of four facuI-
ties, the grandson of Captain Flinders,
the famous Australian explorer, and is
usually accompanied on his exploring
expeditions by his wife, who knows al
most as much about Egyptian archR-
ology as her distinguished husband.

whom he shot from behind in the island

Henry will be very anxious to try few
shots at game in America during some
portion of his visit, but forewarned is

well to keep the prince in front on any
shooting expedition and have a wealth

than his brother, but he cannot be said
to equal him in acquired or natural
mental qualities, especially in versatile
ity. But he is a fine musician, playing
the violin with a practiced hand, is
something of an artist like his mother
and grandmother Victoria, and is a re-
markable linguist. 1t is already known
that ne will use English exclusively
while in this country, being able to
speak it f1uently.
After his marriage in 1888 Prince
Henry took up his residence in the cas-
tie of Kiel. His wife is four years his
Junior, is as amiable and modest as
Prince Henry himself, and both are ex-
tremely devoted to their three children,
all boys and all healthy youngsters.
Until within a few years Prince
Henry was the victim of his brothers
petty tyranny, as manifested ON nu-
merous occasions, but of late there has
been a change in the emperor's attitude
toward him. 1t is supposed that Will
liam's intense jealousy was owing
chiefly to the dynastic succession de-
upon Henry in default of issue
of his own, but since heaven has bless
ed the emperor with large family of
handsome boys he has lost all anxiety
on that score and considers his brother
in an altogether different light. At all
in his behavior toward him, especially
in the latitude he has allowed the
prince in the matter of travel Henry
made two voyages around the world

General Grant probably enjoyed the
situation, but his imperturbabie face

question, Gould you identify those

Thousand Of Physicians, Men and Woman
Of Note and Position, and People

II Is Unsqualed as a
Spring Medicine,
A Prominent Business Man Saved
From Nervous ProstratiOn.

1t Is by true merit, and true merit
alone, that Paine's Celery Compound
has won its wondrous popularity in
every part OF the civilized world.
When all other medicines fail, when
the best directed efforts of physicians
accomplish but little for the Danish
ing of desperate diseases, Paine's Gel
cry Compound saves life and restores
health.
1t Is natural, therefore, that men
and women saved from the perils and
dangers of nervous diseases. rheuma-
tism neuralgia, and blood troubles,
should acquuint their friends-the sick
and well-of what was accomplished
for them by Paine's Celery Com
pound. In this way the glad tldings
of prompt and effectual cures have
been spread from day to day to the
remotest towns and villages, and the
blessed work Of life saving progresses
in every direction.
One OF the most remarkable cures of
recent years effected by Paine's Gel
cry Compound. Is the case of Mr..
Wyan Nelson, president Of the Nelson
Grain Co., of Kansas City, Mo. with
intense gratitude and thankfulness,
