GOT THE WRONG BOTTLE.
Applies Shellac in Place of Alcohol to
Ease Rheumatism.

Sampson Curtis suffered from acute
rheumatism and it often approached
so near his heart hal he feared fatal
results. One Of his fayorite liniments
was pure alcohol, and as it was the
cheapest he applied it freely during
the attack.
The othernight. relates the Milwau-
kee Sentinel, Curtis was awakened
by an attack Of his old enemy. AT
the first groan his wife was out Of
bed, cropping for the cupboard and
the alcohol. She seized the first big
bottle and verifying her instinct by
a sniff at the stopper, she hurried to
her suffering husband. She needed
no encouragement to apply the lini-
ment freely, but Curtis urged her 10
pour it on as fast as she could.
In a few minutes the pain began
to subside, and as the excitement be-
gan to die away, Mrs. Curtis noticed
that her hands were quite sticky.
Without stopping to inquire as to the
cause, she went to wash them, but
somehow the water would not remove
it. She lighted the gas to see what
was the matter.
"Why, Sampson Curtis, what is the
matter with YOU" she exclaimed, as
she gazed at her hands, covered with
a yellow, gummy substance.
whats the matter with me, you'd
better say" cried her husband. "a
feel like a tin soldier swimming IL
mucilage."
Mrs. Curtis lighted the gas jet in
the bedroom.
"Varnished, by jingop shouted
Curtis.
Mrs. Curtis had anointed him with
a half pint Of shellac.

not more equitsblr distributed. OF
every hundred acres owned by the
entire cabinet the duke Of Devon
shire and Lord Lansdowne claim no
fewer than 50; and Of the 80 titles
these noblemen possess II, or nearly
half its total number. The MARQUIS
Of Lansdowne is especially rich in
titles Of peerage, with nemarquisate.
three ~arldoms, three titles of Wis
count, Ind four Of baron; while his
grace Of Deyonshire isnot only a duke,
but a marquis, twice an earl, and twice
a baron.
The duke, too, takes the lions share
of lands and houses. If the whole of
the county of Middlesex were allotted
to him, hewOuld still claim over Z, 200
acres more as his share of British
land; and his estate, if it could be
brought into compact shape, would
be 30 miles long and ten miles in
width; so that it would take a tramp
Of nearly so miles to encompass it.
Lord Lansdowne is poorer in lands
than the duke by 4S, 700 acres, but his
estate is still almost onelthird as large
again as the entire county of Rutland;
while he boasts four splendid seats,
as compared with the seven of the
duke of Deyonshire, which include
such palatial homes as Chatsworth
House, Hardwicke Hall, Bolton Alb
hey, and that "round million in bricks
and land"-the home of the Cavern
dishes in Piccadilly.
But mere acreage is by no means a
reliable comparative test Of wealth,
otherwise Lord Cadogan would COM
pare very unfavorably with these two
fellow ministers. A single acre, how
ever, Of the Cadogan property in Lon
don may well be balanced against
scores Of thousands Of less fortunate
ly-placed acres; and the lord lieuten-
ant ranks among the three wealthiest
peers Of the cabinet, whose joint in
come cannot be much less than half
a million pounds a year.

The Immense Wealth Controlled by the
Present British Ministry.


Present British Ministry.
II wealth and rank were any guar

isbury's present cabinet ought to be
the most remarkable collection of
statesmen which has ever presided
over the destinies of Great Britain,
says London Tit-Bits. Gifts 10 mem
berS, no fewer than nine are peers
Of the realm, one is a baronet, and
four are either sons or nephews Of
n~oblemen; while only five can be said
really to represent the untitled mil
lions.
Among them, this small handful of
statesmen boast 35 titles of peerage,
and three Of them are so rich in these
symbols Of rank (the duke Of Devon
shire and Lords Lansdowne and Sails
bury that he could wei afford to
distribute a coronet to every other
member Of the cabinet while retain
ing two each for themselves.
In this most a%ristocratic Of cabi-
nets there are one dukedom, three
marquisates, nine earldoms, seven Wis
counties, and Is baronies, to say moth
ingofthe baronetcy which Sir Michael
Hicks Beach enjoys; and at least one
other member Of this gilded band,
Mr.. Brodrick, will one day rank both
as baron and y%iscount.
Nor are these titles mere barren dig
mites, for there are gold and land
more than sufficient to maintain them
all in adequate splendor. To the 10
members Of this fortunate ministry
are allotted 100000 acres Of land, an
area large enough, if equally distrib.
uted, to provide each minister with
a snug estate Of more than 21,O0O
acres, with which even a parsonage
50 exalted might well be contented.
To put it in a more impressive way,
eur cabinet ministers own the equiYa-
lent Of a slice of land more than a
mile in width running through the
-
heart Of England and Scotland from
extreme south to north, and if we cut
this slice into equal lengths of so
miles each section would represent
the share Of each minister on an equal
distribution.
II is but fitting that the owners of
such vast estates should have many
lordly which to have
their homes. These they possess in
such abundance that we might place
them at intervals Of about 131 miles
apart along this mile-wide estate, so
that there can be no lack Of accom-
mediation with As mansions for 10
