Dead Sea Bathing.

In an article on bathing in the Dead
sea a clergyman who has made the ex
pertinent says: NO sooner has one
plunged into the water than one is
whipped off ones feet and goes bob
bling helplessly about, like wretched
cork. In the effort to regain. ones foot
ing and get back to shore, ones feet
and shins are barked by the Jagged
stones and pebbles, and when at length
one does emerge from its treacherous
bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding
and torn, one becomes aware of hor
rible tingling and burning sensation in
eyes, ears, nosrrilS. mouth and almost
every pore of the skin from the brine
and bitumen which have penetrated
everywhere Unless great care is taken
the bather in the Dead sea is liable
to an eruption. which breaks out all
over the body and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea rash The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-
den and TO take second plunge there
in. The soft and muddy waters OF that
sacred but dirty stream viii effectually
remove the salt that has incrusted the
body."-New York Tribune.

'Eh?' the other answered in the same
key.
The general knows the affair at the
convent; if you do not make haste, Don
Martial. Don Antonio and the two ladies
will be attacked on the road while going
to the quinta; warn your friend, nor
there is not moment to lose"
When he turned back. Belhumeur had
disappeared: the Canadian with his char
acteristic agility was already running N
the direction of Valentines house. AS
for the capataz, as ne was in no par
ticular hurry, he quietly walked back TO
the generals, where he found his master
in a furious passion with all his people
and more particularly with himself.
BY an accident. too portentous not to
have been arranged beforehand. not one
of his horses could be mounted; three
were foundered. four others had been bled,
and the last three were without shoes. In
the midst of this the capataz arrived
with look of alarm, which only height
ened his masters passion. Carnero pru-
IDENTIFY allowed the generals fury to grow
a little calm and then answered him.
He proved to him in the first place
that he would commit a serious act Of i'm
prudence by himself starting in pursuit
of the fugitives in the present state of af-
fairs. and especially on the eve of a pro-
nunciamento which was about to decide
his fortunes Then he remarked to him
that six poems, commanded by a resolute
man. would be sufficient to conquer two
men probably badly armed, and in addi-
ton. shut up in carriage with two la
dies. whom they would not expose to the
risk of being killed. These reasons being
good, the general listened and yielded to
them.
Very good" he said; "Carnero. you

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at horne, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom it is most eff
Gent. 1t carries woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa. writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-

month and also pain in my left side. My

Eclipse in Midocean.

said Captain Lockhart, of the British
steamship Enroll. arriving from Yoke

and an eclipse of the moon which took
place while his ship was on the long
voyage. On the night of October /
there was a shower of meteors that
lasted sixteen seconds, followed by the
moon eclipse, and there was a furore
among the Chinese crew of forty-seven
men. When the ship touched at Hong
Kong the entire crew walked from the
ship. Captain Lockhart sat disconso-
lately in his cabin few hours later
when word was brought him that the
forty-seven had returned, laden with
Chinese incense, joss sticks and fire
works of all sorts.
For days after the ship had sailed
through the Red Sea and Indian
Ocean, the men would hold a daily SER

After they had become habitual the
captain discovered that the Chinese, be-

A good story Of John Bright and Pea

initiation of the action to buy land in
Ireland for the tenants. On these oc-
casions the great tribune was always
accompanied by George Peabody.
One day they went a couple Of miles
up the Shannon between Castleconnell
and Kallaloe. They had engaged the
services Of two boatmen and as Bright
and Peabody were keen anglers they
made long day of it.
On returning in the evening Bright
noticing a policeman on the river bank,
asked what sum the bOatmen We're en-
titled to for their time The constable
said anything from seven and sixpence
to ten shillings. Bright turned to his
companion, saying: Il have no change

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her Bobbfn.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Nd, says that she was compelled
TO abandon the use of coffee a good
many years ago, because it threatened
to ruin her health and that she went
over to tea drinking, but finally, she
had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost
twenty five pounds and no food seemed
to agree with her.
She further says: 'At this time i
was induced &c take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that l have
never been without it since. l COM
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds Of flesh and went

Most Kings Put Savings in Some
Foreign Country.

Most Kings Put savings IN some
Foreign Country.
It will no doubt astonish a large
number of people that kings and
queens, like poorer mortals, are, with
few exceptions, as economical as is
consistent with their high position and
every year put by some portion of their
savings for rainy day, says the
Springfield Union.
The late Queen Victoria was one of
the thriftiest monarchs and though her
will has never been for the public eye
there is reason to believe that the for
tune she left at her death was a very
large one.
The modern king is, as a rule, a
very practical gentleman. OF some ii
is not too much to say that they do
not place implicit confidence in the ma
ton of which they are the head. Of
nearly all of them it is certainly true
that they do not put all of their eggs
into one basket.
Every year the present car and
czarina of Russia intrust large por
ton of their private savings to the
British and French national banks.
Alexander IL, grandfather of the
Emperor Nicholas, was economical in
a high degree. By his will he left
legacies to various members of the
imperial family, which swallowed up
a third Of his vast fortune, the re-
naming two-thirds being given to
lady of the court who had welded the
sovereign without mounting the throne.
Alexander Ill, during his compare
lively short reign, also saved q consid-
cradle fortune and this he left by will
to Queen Alexandra, at the time of
his death princess of Wales.
King Leopold of Belgium has a uni
versal reputation, and not an enviable
one, as Leopold & Co., rubber mer-
chants. He founded the Kongo Free
State. of which he is the sovereign
lord. and is one of the largest rubber
and ivory dealers in the world. He is
also one of the cleverest of financiers,
and knows his way about all the
bourses of Europe.
King George of Greece speculates
largely in agricultural products, follows
carefully all the fluctuations of the
financial markets, and is assduous in
putting his money into good things.
The late empress of Austria placed
on deposit two-thirds of her allotted
revenue. She was very economical and
kept as few servants about her as pos
sible. The Bank of England received
her savings, and there is curious story
about the refusal of her beneficiaries
to pay the British succession duties, a
refusal which gave the governors of
the bank a great deal of trouble be-
fore the matter was adjusted.
The monarch who has the least con-
fidence in the financial stability of his
own country is the sultan of Turkey
He declines to trust any Turkish bank
with a farthing of his savings. The
latest part of his fortune-and it is
said to be not small, despite the fact
that his country is in a chronic state
of bankruptcies deposited in British
banks

Chfpu's Priority.

Priority in the invention of not only
gunpowder, but also of the art of print
ing is attributed to the Chinese. Ac-
cording to Du Halde and the Jesuit
missionaries. printing was practiced in
China nearly fifty years before the
Christian era
Books in the Celestial Empire were
made out of slips of bamboo five hun
dred years B. c.; In $50 4. d. paper
was first made; by T45. books were
bound into leaves; and in 900, when
Europe was just emerging from the
so-called Dark Ages, printing was in
general use among the Chinese
