TaIisman of HohenzoIIerns.

The house of Hohenzollern pos
sesses family talisman in the shape
of an old-fashioned ring in which is
mounted plain black stone, this
quaint jewel dating from the time of
the Elector John Cicero. A princess
of the family had just given birth to
a son when a large toad appeared on
her bed and dropped the stone out of
its mouth, no doubt as a christening
gift to the newborn baby. 1t was first
set in a ring by. the father of Fred
erick the Great, who left it, with a
letter relating TO its history. to his
successor. Each head of the Hohen-
zollerns has become its owner in turn
and the present emperor frequently
wears it on state occasions. Its vir,
tues as a talisman are held in great
respect and one finds a constant men
ton of this stone in the archives of
Berlin.

Seal Animus of Movement Against
Remedies DeservedIy Popular.
An adroit but plausible scheme by
which it is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale of any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly la
beled Poison" Such bills are also
well designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear
demand for law of this kind it
originates with those who have
a direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale of proprietary rem
edies.
Some of the best1and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which, if taken
in sufficient quantities, might be poi
sonous, and yet the preparation as
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance, is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs. collie, diarrhea, etc.. in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would tie merely
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale of those remedies, and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting ply
stefan and getting his prescription. In
other words, it is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the RENE
dies which they and their fathers be-
fore them have used for many years.

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-

severe shooting pains through the pelvic

London, Oct. 30.-Special dispatches
to the London morning newspapers
depict the situation in Russia in the
gloomiest terms. But few of them
dare to venture predictions as to the
outcome. According to the st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
everything depends on the nature of
the new reforms about to be publish
ed. The correspondent says it is i'm
possible for the present state of af-
fairs to be prolonged and that either
absolute calm will Immediately return
through the resumption of work by
the strikers or there will be a general
resort to violence.
The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph believes that
the autocracy is dying very hard but
very fast and ventures to record his
conviction that before long Russia
will have taken her place among the
constitutional powers of Europe. AT
the same time he is apprehenSive that
the only man who can be charged
with the realization of this program
may meet the tragic fate of that 9TH
er Russian who attempted to intro
duce constitution. Alexander IL.
There is as yet no reliable news of
the reported mutiny and incendiarism
in the Russian navy. The Odessa
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
he has received news from Sebasto-
pol that the news of breaking out
of mutiny is absolutely unfounded.
The British postoffice department
has arranged for the dispatch of mails
for Russia by the resumption of rail
road communication.
Moscow = All the employees of the
water and gas works and street rail-
way lines struck.
The governor general has issued a
proclamation to the effect that traffic
on the Nickolai and Moscow and Ka-
Fan lines will be restored and that the
strike will not prevent the city from
being supplied with provisions of
which there is an ample stock.
The governor adds that for the pro-
lection of peaceable people troops
have been posted throughout the city
and that they will fire with ball cart
ridges in the case of even the small
est gathering of people or the slight
est sign of disorder. The prorlama-
ton concludes with an appeal to the
residents to pursue their daily avoca-
lions calmly.

desire to reach a basis that might be
