Ovaritis or inflammation of the

the ovaries may result from sudden
stopping of the monthly flow, from
inflammation of the womb, and many
other causes. The slightest indication
of trouble with the ovaries, indicated
by dull throbbing pain in the side, ac-
companied by heat and shooting pains,
should claim your instant attention.

PERFUME FROM ALOE TREE.
Resnous Aromatic Juice That Is Of
Great Value.

The aloe wood tree is a native Of
the mountains east and southeast Of
Sylhet, in Burmah, and in Bengal. It
is valuable on account of dark resi-
nous aromatic juice with which the
wood is sometimes gorged This
resin, or agar as 1t is colloquially
termed, is used for its perfume and
supposed medicinal properties. 1t is
very costly and is used both for in
cense in religious and other cere-
monials and also in the preparation Of
perfume called agar altar. which is
practically as costly as altar Of roses.
The most interesting feature In con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any par
tioular tree will be found to contain
the precious resin. A tribe Of hill
men known to the natives as agar
kumlahs make it their business to
search for the resinous wood. Their
trade is a secret which they always
endeavor to preserve from all natives
or other tribes. A party of agar kum-
labs goes of into the mountains with
provisions for as long as three
months, and they prosecute their tedi-
GUS search in districts where probably
human being is not seen from one
month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before it can be as
certained whether they contain any
of the resinous deposit, and some
times after a wearlsome search
through half dozen trees, young ana
old, not a single piece OF agar is dis
covered. Again, 1t may be that a rich
find is made and then the collector 10
repaid for half a month OF work.

Renounces Wealth for Sentiment.

Michael MacMahOn, st. Louis po-
liceman who died there last week, was
the son and heir of the late Baron
Hugh MacMahon, owner of a large
estate in County Armagh, Ireland. He
refused to take up the title and prop
erty because before doing so he would
have had to swear allegiance to the
British crown. His oldest son is OF
the same view and declares he will
follow his fathers example. The young
man is a priest in charge of church
in Detroit. The dead officer was sec.

ENGLAND and the Steel Trade,

Sir James Kitson, M. p, who came
to this country with a number of 9th
err distinguished Englishmen to par
ticipate in the American meeting OF
the Iron and Steel institute, is con
nected with a great steel plant at
Leeds. Though a wealthy man and
amply able to smoke the finest Ha-
vanas, he sticks to briar root pipe
claiming that only through its aid can
a man really enjoy tobacco. Sir
James does not think there is much
chance that an international steel
combine will be formed. Such union
is under consideration in continental
Europe, he says, but he thinks that
England will be able to hold her own
in the steel trade.

laughed uproariously "Mais, you inn

Etienne, his rage making him forget
his dandyism and fine ralment,

upon the head and shoulders not so
very far below his own not great
height, while he held fast to Jeans

out Of keeping with his frail and puny

quarter, while he advanced a few
steps toward the sous-lieutenant, who
stood with his hands still clasped be-
hind his back, ard fine scorn touch
ing the severe line OF his lips.

MONEY IN RAISING DUCKS.
Writer Declares It one of the Most
Profitable of Home Industries.

TIOHtdpie OF 1Ome lHouStTlSSs
The raising of ducks is among the
most profitable of home industries
so the early part of December should
be devoted to preparing quarters fol
them, says Kate Saint Maur in hel
article, "a Self Supporting Home" In
Pearson's.
If your memory of ducks Is of the
eld-fashioned "puddler" which spent
all its time grubbing in the mud and
mire of the creek, wandering far from
home, dropping its eggs promiscuous
ly everywhere to feed water rats
eventually ending an improbable
like prey to some carnivorous ami
NAL, the Pekin duck will be a reve'
lation IL its size and beauty. They
are almost as large as geese, with
plumage which is white, deepening to
rich cream at the quill, bright yellow
bills and legs-in fact, they look just
what they are, the aristocrats of the
duck species. At ten weeks old they
weigh from six pounds, bringing an
average price of Is cents a pound.
Their addition to the farm is not a
serious consideration; beyond the out
lay of the first cost of the birds there
is little expense.

For two years past, Etienne-the

about his father tended to throw the

to claim him, after his dozen years
absence from their circles.

and somewhat precocious, owing to
the intimate companionship of Mon
sieur lie Baron. he absorbed the talk
going on around him, and asslmilated
1t with an intelligence to which his
elders gave no thought.
Unusually tall for his years, he had
a slender, sinewy body, and limbs
whose muscles had been thoroughly
developed under the careful tutelage
Of old Tatro, the baron's butler, who,
until middle life had been a soldier.
1t was he who had taught Jean to
ride and shoot; and he had initiated
the lad-young as the latter was
into the intricacles of foil and rapier
practice.
Affairs in Paris were becoming
more and more unsettled. The law.

CHAPTER |

Paris, in the year 1890, and the gar
den Of the Tuileries bright with the
sunshine of an autumnal day. Two
boys, seated in the grass near path
not far from one of the ponds, were
playing with turtle they had cap
tured.
The humble origin OF the elder, a
lad of thirteen, was evidenced by
those physical signs which are usu-
ally associated with people of his
class; but the other, three years
younger, bore all the indications Of
gentle birth. His sire was baron Of
the "ancien regime" while Pierre's
father had been peasant, and his
widowed mother the faithful nurse Of
her who had lived but two months
after giving birth to the boy Jean,
whom Margot loved as her own
Pierre.
Presently there came along the
promenade a trio of court gallants,
attired in the extreme of the prevail
ing fashion, berufIled, bejeweled, and
perfumed. One Of them was a slen-
derly built young man, whose sharp
features, pale-blue eyes set closely to-
gether, thin lips, and weak chin, gave
ample proof of his nature and dispo-
sition.
A more striking contrast to the
younger boy could not well be imag-
ined. Yet the same blood ran in
their veins, for the newcomer was
Etienne, jeans halfbrother, who had,
for some time past been occupying
an unimportant position at court
He espied the two boys before they
noticed him, so engrossed were they
in heading.off the turtle, whose in
stinct seemed to tell 1t how to find
way to the nearby pond.
The three courtiers paused in the
pathway; and Etienne, stepping
quickly over the grass, gave the trr-
tie a well-dlrected kick that sent it
Nplashing into the water
He and his friends then laughed
boisterously, while Jean and Pierre
sprang to their feet, the formers eyes

Pastor Charles Wagner, advocate
of the simple life, put in at least one

week. On arriving from Washington
he was driven to the University club
where he attended a luncheon in his

degree of Ii. d was conferred upon
him. In the evening he dined at the
home of Joseph Lindley and later at
tended a reception at the Penn club,
where he greeted several hundred
prominent residents of the Quaker
city.

It is said that friends of Judge Al

Of New York city are planning to
bring about his nomination next fall
as a justice of the Supreme Court in
New York county. To that end a
nonpartisan dinner is being arranged,
to which Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats will be invited. Should he get
the place his salary would be $4,000
more than he received as chief jus.
tice, as it is the hope of his friends
that Gov. Higgins would assign him
to the appellate division in case he
was elected to the supreme bench.
To get the nomination Judge Parker
would have to change his voting resi-

would do.
