CHARM THE FAT AWAY.

To reduce by means of exercise or dieting is nothing but torture to the fiesh and modification to the spirit. It ifs so much simpler to "charm" 1t away. Of course, don't mean by spells or lamentations" but through the occa- sionaI use of this home receipt, viz.: I-2 ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 3 1-2 ounces Syrup Simplex. which any one can obtain at any drug store for a small sum and mix at home. Take a teaspoonful after meals and at bed time. It literally charms the fat away. Takes 1t off just where you need 1t on and does 1t quickly but harmlessly. Many persons lose as much as a pound a day.

\ New York, April --(SpeciaI )---An old woman over eighty years of age. who had lived the life of hermit for twenty years, within only a half hours ride of Broadway. died last week leaving an estate worth $2,o0O,- 900.
 When her husband died twenty years ago he made her promise that she would not sell tn cir little farm in the Bronx. and she kept her word. But with the rapid growth of New York the farm was eagerly sought by real estate dealers. all of them who were refused. although their offers were very high.
 However. the little frail woman who generally wore an old fashioned sum bonnet and shabby clothes, stood her ground. and became fin reality land poor. for she had difficulty in getting sufficient money to pay her taxes. The old farm with it's little white house. however. remained intact. in spite of the fact that tall city buildings were erected near it.
 After twenty years of fighting off persistent purchasers. which involved several lawsuits, the eccentric old lady died without any near relatives to whom she could leave her little farm valued at s2.000.000.
 A new wrinkle was sprung on one of the clerks in the marriage license bureau the other day. when in pay ment for license the applicant handed out 100 pennies of the mintage of 1908.

The prospective husband then proceeded to buy them back and said that he in- tended to have the coins which had paid for the license made into belt for his bride.

z,mperor,s Mnrriaee Contract,


 The Emperor of China's marriage contract. footed from the Imperial Pal ace at Peking during the occupation by the Allies in 1900, is now being re- turned to It's Celestial owner by the German government.
 Chinese diplomats have been search ing for the precious document in every part of the world for nearly eight years but without any success until recent 1y. The Chinese Minister in Berlin re- ceived a letter from South German villasea stating that the writer pos sessed large piece of yellow silk cov- cred with Chinese characters, which had been translated as the. marriage contract of the Emperor Kwang-Su.
 Lengthy negotiations ensued between the Chinese Legation, the German For sign ofice, and the owner of the docu- ment, who declined to say how he ac- Quired 1t. At last he was induced to accept handsome price for the yellow silk document which is now on its way in charge of special emissary to Pe- kings

Disaxree over Art.


 As result Of disagreements with the Kaiser on art matters, Herr von Tschu- dil Director of the Berlin National Gall lery. has retired from office. The his- tory of the case shows how the Elm peror makes his power felt even in such matters as Inc selection of pict- ures for the public galleries.
 The Kaiser's decision Is final in the choice of new pictures, and as usual the latest new batch of pictures were submitted for his approval. They were , mostly of the modern French school, a sayle which, the Emperor does not fay or. while Herr von Tschudi Is an ad- nirer of 1t. Some of the pictures were rejected by his majesty and he was neutral about others. Herr von Tschu- di took 1t that he might purchase these which the Kaiser had not actually thrown out He even used his influence with wealthy art patrons to have the rejected pictures presented to the na' tion. '
 The result of this intrigue coming to the Emperor's ears was that the acqui- sitfon of the pictures was declared IT, regular, as 1t had not had the Kaiser's sanction; the paintings were withdrawn from the gallery and the Director was instructed to take a years leave which of course meant his dismissal.
