her marriage, three years ago, under the
name Of Denise Orme." but whose real
patrorynlic was Smither. furnishes a sec
ond heir 10 the peerage and estates Of the
captains father, old Lord Churston. It rem
ders also more remote the chances of sue
cession Of Lord Churstons next brother
the Hon. Walter Yarde-BulIer. who married
in 1885 the late Leilah. daughter of General
r ". Kirkham, OF California, widow Of
.. 3. Blair, of San Francisco. The Hon
Walters marriage was not a happy one
His matrimonial difficulties furnished mucn
reading matter TO the press on both sides
Of the Atlantic. especially here in America,
where the Hon. Mrs. Walter, who used to
style herself, without any right. LADY
YaFde-Buller," had a most sensational and
stormy career before being overtaken by
death. Lord Churston is the head of the
fine old Devonshire family Of Butler, and

the remarkable breach Of promise SUIT

against him four years ago.

Queer Medicines for Monarohs.


It seems difficult to realize that as late
as a hundred years ago. that is 70 say. IN
1910. some of the leading physicians N
England in attendance upon Queen Char
lotte and holding Office at court as ner
medical advisers, were prescribing extract
Of mummy that is to say. drugs in which
the powdered remains of the Egyptian
Pharaohs constituted the chief ingredient.
Half century later-as recently as 1850
powders obtained through the crushing OF
mummies were still sold as medicine by the
principal pharmaceutical chemists of AUS
tTia and Hungary
In order TO account for this employment
Of Egyptian numn1ies for the preparation
Of drugs 1t must be explained that great
therapeutical virtues were ascribed 10 the
ingredients employed by the ancient Egy1,-
tions in nunnifying their rulers their hign
priests and priestesses. and their queens.
There was in particular a certain sort Of
asphalt which was considered unrivalled
