had an odd-looking personality. A
Paris correspondent says: He had
the strangest physiognomy l can re-
member ever to have seen, and the
most serpentine form-tall, 1.-THE. ex-
tremely thin. The profile was as the
skeleton of an eagle. but the nose very
long. The black eyes had l know not
what that struck me as Hungarian and

very fresh lemon under black gauze.

Lonq search wen Rewarded.

The romantic story of how the DR..
Arnold Pam, one of the foremost law
yers of Vienna. laid the foundation
for his wealth is related in the news
papers of that city. About a quar-
ter of century ago a local jeweler
named OFT died. leaving a fortune of
100000 forms. He was a bachelor.
and he left no will. nor were the
courts able to find out the name or
whereabouts of any of his relatives.
Arnold Pam devoted himself. to the
task of finding them. For months he
followed clews in Austria apd Ger
many and was finally rewarded by
finding not one or two relatives but
thirty. The money was handed out
to him to be equally divided among
the claimants, while he himself re-
ceived 100000 florins, a record fee.

Comes to Live in America.

Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez. chief op-
ponent of President Palma and now
practically an exile from Cuba, hav-
ing taken up his residence in this
country. is a short, rather stout,
swarthy man with a quiet face and
contemplative eye. Before coming to
the United States he was governor of
Santa Clara province. He holds that
annexation of this country would be
preferable to the Palma dynasty. Gen.
Gomez is a soldier with an enviable
record, shrewd politician, a Cuban
by birth and possessed of a long heri-
tage of enmity toward Spain.

Though enormously rich, the duke

the day in a hanson cab. Before

FatefuI History of Ruo.

1t is stated on the authority of a
London magazine that the czarina,
fearing the baleful influence of his
toric rug sent by the sultan of Turkey
as a gift to the imperial parents on the
occasion of the infants birth, has sent
the young heir to the throne to place
of hiding known only to herself and
the czar. The rug sent by the sultan
is said to be one known as THE Blood
stained Rug of the Tenth Century,"
which was taken from the walls of a
Moorish palace in the twelfth century
when it was pronounced bewitched.
1t next appeared in Rome in the four
teenth century, but was banished from
an Italian palace because of its uncan-
ny influence and was moved from
place to place during the next 100
years, leaving death and destruction
in Its wake. 1t was lost during the
sixteenth century. reappearing in the
palace of the sultan at the beginning
of the eighteenth, where it remained
until sent to St, Petersburg, where 1t
arrived at the beginning of the war
with Japan.

CHRISTIANITY IN THE souDAN.
Labors of Missionaries Have Much
Prospect of Success.

The work of introducing the benefi-
cent influence of Christianity into the
Soudan is the more likely to be sue
cessful because it has not been done
in hurry. Missionary societies have
frequently been blamed-in some in
stances justly blamed-for frittering
away their energies in regions which
were not yet ripe for their ministra-
lions. This cannot be said of the mis-
sionary enterprise in the Soudan, of
which the first announcement is made
this week The country has for years
been enjoying the blessings of peace
and good government. 1t has subsid-
ed into that settled condition which
Is most favorable to missionary work,
and the lack of which. as DR.. Living
stone knew in his bitter experience,
prevents the fruition of the most ar
duous labor. Not only the time for
beginning the mission, but the region
in which it will be carried out, has
been chosen by Lord Cromer; and
the public will look upon this able
administrators association with the
enterprise as the best guarantee that
1t will be conducted with wisdom, dis
cretion and success.-Weekly Scots

safety in ProprIetary MedIcines.

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
.."Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists CT America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities of the country,
what percentage of physicians pre-
scriptions contained narcotic drug
of some kind. Out of 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
drug stores in all parts of the United
States, 1t was found that 70 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
preparations.
Proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible. 1t
is also true that but moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic, and, when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or so protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with it
no danger whatever"

DEFECTS IN RUSSIAN VESSELS.
Errors Contributed Greatly to Toso's
Decisive Victory.

A French naval officer has been at
tempting to explain the collapse of
some of the Russian line of battle
ships in the fight in the Sea of ia
pan. He said that, from their design.
number of ships had only a moder-
ete degree of stability. They were
'op-heavy and some of them rolled
so much on the voyage out that the
officers were afraid they would turn
turtle. When a large amount of coal
was taken on board. some even be-
ing carried on deck, the vessels were
submerged to well below their ordi-
nary water line and as a result the
ships were crank and their water line
armament in some cases submerged.
This deep loading caused the vessels
10 roll, and, in the opinion of the
French expert. holes made by the
shells from the Japanese fleet were
thus frequently under water, which,
with the vessels in ordinary trim,
would not have been the case. AS the
fire of the Japanese was naturally
directed at the bows of the approach
ing Russian ships their forward COM
partments filled first and the ships
went down by the head and capsized.
