LAW URGED BY sELF-sEEkERs.

Real Animus OF Movement Against
Remedies Deservedly 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

edies.
Some of the best and 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 a
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance, is used in small quaint
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

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 mofe
expensive method of consulting ply

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.

CHAPTER I.
Julian the Scouge.

Julian the Scouge.
She asked if her father had come.
No, my sweet lady" returned Ho
ram. He was busy. 1t may appear
unseemly for me to come hither alone;
but my great love and my deep so lei
tude for your welfare, must be my ex-
cuse. l hope you have found it pleas
ant here"
The maiden said she could not have
asked for a more pleasant place of
abode.
The king was charmed by her smil
ing speech-so different from what she
had ever before given him-and he
fondly believed that she was delighted
with his presence.
Ulin, fearing that the least sign of
GOODNESS or reserve might excite the
jealousy of the grey-headed-monar
and bring down upon her some terrible
evil, exerted all her powers of Pleas
antness, and wore the smile upon her
face while pang was in her bosom.
But Horam's visit was destined to
be cut short While he was, for the
sixth time making excuses for his
visit the door of the apartment was
unceremoniously opened and black
entered-not one OF those who had
been on guard in the valley but
stranger to Ulin, covered with sweat
and dust, as though he had been riding
hard and fast.

feet. How now, Sadak? What is the
meaning of this?"

me that you were here and stopped
to inquire no further"
Not that-not that Sadak. Why
have you come from Damascus in such
hot haste?"
Il came to inform you sire that Jul
liam the ScOurge Of Damascus is ap-
preaching our city,"
Death and devastation" cried Ho-
ram starting back with alarm How
know you this?"
I'VE heard from him by way Of a
merchant who was in a caravan that
he had robbed"
What caravan"
"The caravan from Tadmoor, with
the riches which were on their way
from Bassora."
Those riches were mine" said Ho-
ram.
Aye. sire; and Julian took them
took all that belonged to you, but

About Cassem babe me hasten hither
and give you warning"
The king was fairly beside himself
with fear and rage. The name of Ju-
liam was a terror to him, and at the
sound thereof he trembled exceedingly
And he seemed to- fear more than the
mere physical proves of the Scourge
There was mystic quality in his felt
"a nameless dread of the avenger
Where is the demon now" he ask
ed, after he had gazed awhile in silence
upon the messenger.
HE is not far from the city, sire.
Somewhere to the eastward, we think.

II will return" cried the monarch,
shifting his fists together; land l will
bring out an army and sweep this ter
rible Scourge from off the face of the
earth!'
He babe sadak go and make ready
for the start, and then he turned to
Ulin.

INTRODUCTION.

Eoram, King of Damascus, then at
its glory as the zenith city Of the
east, bemoaned the coming of old age
without prospective heir, to the throne
In his younger days he had loved
Helen, his queen, but fearing that she
was disloyal to him had her cast into
the black, swift flowing Phorpar. At
the time the story opens Ulin, the
daughter of About Cassem, the kings
prime minister, three times dreams
that she has become the wife of the
king and that son being born to
them is heir to the throne. Cassem
tells the story to the king. The latter
having long admired the many charms
of Ulin, seeks an interview with her
and on the sixth day following they
are to be married. He thereupon
abolishes his harem. Within the week
Abba, the pretty slave maid-inwa:t-
ing to Ulin, tells the story of the tragic
fate Of Helen. The story makes deep
impression and preys upon the mind Of
the bride-to-be. But her father urges
her on and she now deems it a sacred
duty to become the queen. On the
morning set for the wedding Ulin's
mother dies. According to the laws of
Damascus she must go into mourning
retirement for thirty days. Horam
agrees with her father that she shall
pass the period of mourning in Sc
cluded palace in the beautiful Valley of
Lycanius. This valley is the sole pos
session of the king and can only be
reached by one passage through
mighty mountain, capable of admitting
but one person at a time. Thither
ulin goes with Abba, where they are
placed under the protection of the
attendants by the king and Ulins
father. Six days after their entering
Koran returns Unexpectedly. Ulin
acting on the suggestion Of Abba,
treats him kindly.

fondness for anecdotes, novels and plays that exhibit monarchs as Ordi- nary, commonplace human beings is due to the fact that they strike the common mind with the pleasant shock of novelty. The real. contemporane- ous, royal parsonage of novels of the type of "A Royal Family is an inter esting stranger of whom we can nev- CT get enough. The fashioned king, stalking through plays and novels, traditionally garbed, is trite and unin- terestng. We know all about him. We became fully acquainted with him in OUT nursery days. The illusion of king created by the nursery picture books is more real to us than the liv ing fact. And this probably is quite as true of a great many other illu- sions commonly called facts of hu- man experience"

Something happened to our clerical ist contemporaries of the Mexican press last week. The archbishop pick ed up up his big pastoral staff and shook it at them. He decreed that henceforth within his jurisdiction ev- cry journal calling itself Catholic must submit to ecclesiastical censor ship. That is, it must publish noth- ing which the supervising priest has not seen and approved. The Mexican Herald" thinks there may be a diff culty in finding reverend .censors of a sufficiently heroic build to stay in the editorial rooms and out of their beds until the paper goes to press. "The good local clergy" it says, If they have to walk half a block after dusk, muff1e up their mouths as if death were lurking in the atmos- phere" But if the censor knocks off work at II o'clock or at midnight, the news arriving over the wires in the small hours-as often as not the most important news of the day-will have to go into the wastebasket. That's certainly a rather painful outlook for the clericaIist editors.

No nore Arabian Nights

Statesmen may speculate as much as they please about the consequences of rebel victories in Arabia over the sultan of Turkeys troops.
 People are sated with wars and pol itics. Even the possible loss of the holy city of Mecca to Abdul Hamid fails to stir them. For pure entertain ment what boy or girl has grown so old that he would not rather follow HarOun al Raschid in disguise through a single Arabian night in the streets of Bagdad than read all the dispatches ever written about desert skirmishes for the possession of the birthplace of Mahomet?
 Who cares whether England or Ger many finances railroads in the benin suIa when he can travel with Sindbad the Sailor be shipwrecked five times and come home rich with precious treasure and marvellous adventures? If they have beauties as fair as the lovely Scheherazade, the sultan's con sort, we hear nothing of them, and Rrummagem ware has taken the place of AIaddin's lamp. There are more than enough grafters nowadays, but no thieves like Ali Baba's Forty with their cave and it's magic password. Bank examiners and prosecuting at torneys make a poor substitute, in the way of romance, for the one slave who killed them all.

WORDS
 TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu- liar to their sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the advice of a physician and successful specialist in the diseases of women. Every letter has the most careful consideration and is regarded as SGcrcdIy confidential. Many SenSitively modest women write fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from telling to their local physician. The local physician is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything without '' an examination" Dr. Pierce holds that these diStaSteful exam nations are generally needless, and that no woman. except in rare cases, should submit to them.
