ELIzABETH NEY,
Woman Who Won Fame Fly Her sculp-
 lures Now Living in Texas.

In remote corner of Hyde Park, Austin, Texas, there stands castlelike building of stone which, according to Modern Women, contains specimens of the work of an artist who has produc- ed some of the masterpieces of the nineteenth century It is the studio of Elizabeth Ney
 How came such works In faraway Texas and how Is it that more is not known of them and of the woman who created them? Elizabeth Ney was born in Westphalia. Her father was a nephew of Napoleon's great general, and her mother belong to family of Polish exiles. When no more than a child she begged to be allowed to study sculpture, proposition which in the Germany of a generation ago created positive consternation in her family.
 She faced rebuke and ridicule, how ever and in the end won her way. At Munich she entered the Academy of Fine Arts and Rauch offered her a studio next the government studio which he himself occupied that she might study under his direct supervi- sion. She worked with him until his heath, then began to develop her own career.
 Great men in the world of politics, art, science and letters sat to her. She made portraits of Won Humboldt, Won Liebib, Jacob Grimm, Schopenhauer Joachim, Garibaldi. Bismarck and lesser lights. The commission to make Bismarck's portrait was considered by her friends one of the greatest honors, for King William selected her to DOT tray the makes of the German empire for. future generations.
 Miss Ney, naturally broad minded was brought when very young into con tact with the greatest minds of the age She longed for land where the individual might reach his highest de. velopment irrespective of materia wealth and unhindered by social forces She joined a band of enthusiasts an6 a spot in Georgia was chosen for the experiment.
 The dream soon ended. This idea community was broken up. Many O the experimenters returned to Europe but Elizabeth Ney had had breath o1 freedom and attracted by descriptions of Texas she bought the beautiful Ii. enda plantation and for a number O. years lived there in retirement. He statue of Austin is now one of tn, orgaments of the city, which bears hi name. and the Houston statue is fam ous in both Europe and this country.

THE KINGS MESSENGERS.
Duties of Corps of Counters Who Carry
 Dispatches.

Tn these days of the cable and the long distance telephone, the public is apt to forget that most important dis patches are yet delivered in person. The recent death of Arthur Herbert who was one of those who lost their lives in the ill-fgated Berlin, has drawn at tention to a most interesting body, the Kings Foreign Service Messengers, to whom MT. Herbert belonged, says The Canadian Courier. It is the duly of these couriers, who are nine in number, to carry dispatches from the King and the Foreign Office to British ambassa- dors abroad. MT. Herbert was travel ling on the fortnightly service to Con- stantinople. Every Tuesday a messen- ger journeys by Harwich and the Hook of Holland-one week to Constantinople and the next to St. Petersburg.
 The railway companies make special arrangements for the Kings messenger, although he is an ordinary fare finan- cially. He is by courtesy free of cus- toms, which facilitates the rapid travel, which is the main purpose of his work. | He carries a six-inch silver gilt badge, and number. The badge consists of the Royal arms, motto and F. R., In an oval surmounted by a crown from 1t hangs a silver greyhound, which gives the messengers their romantic nickname Silver Greyhounds. He also also has eourier's passport and a handsome uniform.
 The uniform Is never worn, except in time of war, when the courier wishes to pass through contending countries. II consists of blue frock coat with gilt 1 buttons, gold edged waistcoat, scarlet striped trousers and peaked cap
 with the crown and E. R. in gilt. The messenger carries his precious dis patches, which he must guard with his last drop of blood against the enemy, ir a canvas bag, tied, labelled and sealed
 While it is essential that the courier 1 should be an officer of high intelligence ready resource and unfiinching courage his messages are not invariably of high state import. He has been known to procure for an ambassador or his wife small articles for which they had a special liking, and has even beer known to carry such trifles as a favor. ite confection or dainty ribbon witt his documents of international import ance The late Queen Victoria, it is said, had a decided liking for certain biscuit which could be obtained only il

Any one can mix right at home
the best remedyof its kind known.
The name Cyclone" is given to
the following prescription, it is
supposed, because of its prompt
ness in driving from the blood
and system every vestige of

foul and dread disease, no mat

the mixture: Get from any good
pharmacy one.half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one ounce
Compound Kargon and three
ounces Compond Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in
teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
This is a harmless. inexpensive
mixture. which has a peculiar
action upon the eliminative tis-
sues of the Kidneys, assisting
them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catar-
rhal poisons, whicq, If not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mu-
cous membrane, and an open
sore or catarrh is the resuld.
Prepare some and try It, as 1t
