II is no small wonder that the shah
guards his gems so jealousy. for they
are absolutely unique. His greatest
treasure is sword whose hilt and
scabbard are incrusted with diamonds
Of marvellous size and brilliancy worth
100000. The imperial crown con-
tains a ruby which is regarded as the
finest in the world Such one could
not be bought for e150.Oo0. There
are in the vaults the girdle OF state
(which is heavily inlsid with dia-
monds and emeralds) and an immense
silver vase thickly overlaid with
pearls and turquoises A remarkable
object is a terrestrial globe with the
land worked in enamel and jewels:
the rivers are made OF diamonds, the
lakes OF turquoises and the mountains
are raised and contoured In beautiful
gold work.-Detroit News-Tribune.

Keep The Kidneys Well.

HOsC 10 SAGE re.

Many Hickman people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health. but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in dan
ger when all diseases and aches and
pains due to weak kidneys can be
quickly and permanently cured by
the use Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Hickman citizens recon-
mendation.
A. P. Iverbey. living in Hickman,
KY, says: "For two or three
months ! was troubled from the dis
ordered condition Of my kidneys. ]
had dull pains in the small of my
back, and whenever | stopped or
lifted anything, sharp twinges
would cause me misery. At night
the aching in my back greatly dis
turbed my rest and | arose in the
morning feeling lame. l usually
felt tired and lame and languid and
nervous spells bothered me. Ny
kidneys needed attention as was
proved by the sediment contained in
the secretions. Leaning OF Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured a box at
Helm and Elhson's drug store, and
in three days they relieved me. 1t
required but one half the contents of
the box to affect complete cure.

permanent, and have no hesitancy in

Rheumatism Recipe.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the following valuable
though simple and harmless. pres
cription. which any one can easily
prepare at home
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces.
Mir by shaking well in a bottle.
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and,
being Of vegetable extraction. are
harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken
regularly for few days, is said to
overcome almost any case Of Rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling, II
any. diminishes with each dose, until
permanent results are obtained. and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheuma-
tism remedies. patent medicines.
etc., some Of which do give relief
few really give permanent results.
and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many suffer-
ers here at the this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately. or the
druggists here will mix the prescrip-
ton for our readers II asked to.
