The queen of Italy is much enjoying her stay at Gressony, in the Italian Alps, where, dressed in peasant cos­ tume, she "climbs, despite her weight and size, in good earnest, says London Figaro. Her majesty is very popular in the mountain Tillages and whenever she enters one is variably received with flowers and enthusiastic signs of devo­ tion. There is very little doubt that the tendency to embonpoint which so dis­ tresses Queen Margherita is due to her fondness for Italian cookery with its oil, spices and pastry. She is especially fond of cakes fried in oil; spaghetti, together with cheese and olives and fritto, a compound of artichokes, chick­ ens' livers, calves' brains and cocks' combs. When there are no foreigners present at the royal board the national cookery is always in the ascendant.

A hundred years ago excavations in Pompeii were made solely with a view to the discovery of art and archaelogi- cal treasures, no effort being made to preserve the houses. The present meth­ od is very different, and one of the latest excavations is a house in which all the interior arrangements, furni­ ture, wall decorations, etc., have been preserved or restored. An inventor has hit upon a method of putting stone soles on boots and shoes. He mixes a waterproof glue with a suitable quantity of clean quartz sand, and spreads it over the leather sole used as a foundation.

Oscar, King: of Sweden, Who Stands Six Feet Three. In climbing the mountains and breathing the pure salty breezes of the sea. were a splendid preparation for our supper at 8 p. m. We hurried some­ what, as there was to be a sbiree at 8:30, at which the King was expected to be present. I had never seen the King and was'very, auxious to see1 his Majesty, of wliotoi I knew and had heard so much. We succeeded in get­ ting good places on the gallery and in a few minutes his Majesty, King Oscar, three members of the Cabinet and oth­ er distinguished guests walked into the hall. King Oscar is the peace monarch of Europe. His reign will be twenty- five years of duration next mon<tli and that period of time has been one of growth, development and increased prosperity for Sweden, but not by arms or war, but by more vigorous indus­ tries, increased popular education, and business principles applied to every­ day life. The King is the most learned monarch living, an eloquent speaker, a most entertaining conversationalist, a poet of note, but also a diplomat and astute business man.. £ /' But he is something more. He is the nearest and dearest friend of his peo­ ple. It seems that he has not an enemy In Sweden. No nihilists in that Luther- en and educated country. The King's ear is open to everybody, that is the reason. Reforms and progress and de­ luxe OSCA.lt. velopment by peaceful means are the order of the day. Yes, some wanted matters to move faster, but sure is bet­ ter than fast. There he stands, "every inch a king." Oscar II. is six feet three tall, Is in good flesh, OS years old, but his gait is that of a young man. He wears a full gray beard, trimmed quite short, and looks very much like his portraits. He was dressed in dark colored sack coat, white vest, and carried his white-tour­ ist and sailor cap in his hand. No nl- dier, no body guard, no detectives around that king. His Majesty walked about in the hall, spoke with everybody, it seemed, sat down a minute here and a minute there, was all joy and sun­ shine to his friends and subjects, and looked for all the world like one of our own most popular Presidents, only more den»>cratio, more friendly than any public man of note that I have met in America. The King has been busy with Cabinet meetings these days, but was gracious enough anyway to allow me a brief audience, which I appreciated very much. He well remembered Bethany College. His Majesty has been the friend of that western institution for many years, and our gratitude, which I personally expressed, is deep and sin­ cere. Oh, how King Oscar loves dear old Sweden. He asked many questions In a hurry concerning my impression of the conditions obtaining in his king­ dom in general* and about the great exposition at Stockholm. An expression of his Majesty I will never forget--it is so characteristic of him and his reigu --"Here I live in peace and joy with my people." There stands the King, the peace monarch on the shore, as our steamer leaves land, waving good-by to his three Cabinet members on board, and to all and everyone of the passengers in general. Long live King Oscar, and many well wishes for his happy reign and king­ dom.--Christiana Letter to the Topeka Capital. Cut Postage Stamps in Hair. "Sometimes we find that people have cut stamps in half when they want one of half the denomination," said the red­ headed postal clerk in charge of the oddities of the mailing matter as he entered in his "unniailable list" eggs, bacon, cucumbers, an entire goose, a rat's head and some bug poison. "You would expect that the people who do that would be immigrants with the odor of the steerage still clinging,in their clothes. It is by no means the case. Now. here is a letter bearing the half of a 4-cent stamp," showing an envelope addressed in such a precise hand that it indicated a New England origin. "I notified the sender by the address in the corner of the envelope that her letter was being 'held up' and when the next day I saw a little, white- haired old lady in black come briskly in I guessed correctly that she had come for this letter. When I told her that It had not gone because of a mu­ tilated stamp she looked surprised even when I showed her the envelope. In a sweet, gentle, but protesting way she insisted that the stamp was not muti­ lated--that having no 2-cent stamp she had cut a 4-cent stamp in two--and she added reproachfully that she was sorry that there had been any delay! " 'If you had a $10 bill would you ex­ pect to tear it into tentlis and have the pieces each buy a dollar's worth of dry goods?" "She paid her 2 cents "with the air of the woman forced to keep dress goods she has soiled when she knows she can get the same; thing for less money across the street, but said scornfully: 'This must be a dreadfully unaccommo­ dating postofiice--I pity Chicago people.

Many white papers ars so transparent that by careful scrutiny the contents of envelopes, made of such material, may be determined. For In- ' stance, let us put a sheet of paper with I writing on it into this envelope. Let j us also insert a bank check. We will J now seal it, and hold it to the light j thus. There, you cannot only see the J bank check, but you can also read many of the woreis on the sheet of paper. This can be prevented either by getting a iry thick and high-priced envelope, which is not transparent, or scarcely transparent, or by taking a cheaper grade of paper which i* blue on one side. We sell thousands of packages yearly of blue envelopes--that is, envel­ opes which are blue on the outside,"but most people do not like them on ac­ count of their color. So to get over the difficulty, and still make an envelope that will hide the contents and not be high-priced, the manufacturer uses pa­ per which is blue on one side and white on the other. One factory in New York turns out over 1,000,000 of such envel­ opes every day, and their sale in large cities is endrmoUs."--Washington Star. X . Blue inside. "Why are these envelopes made blue on the inside?" asked a Star reporter, looking at a specimen which a whole­ sale stationer held in his hand. "For a very simple reason," was the reply.

The great Yerkes telescope has un­ masked hitherto unseen worlds. The great lens lias been focused into space, and to the great joy of Director Haie and Prof. Barnard and their associates, the light-gathering power of the glass lias been proved perfect. It far sur­ passes the thirty-six-incli lens of the Lick observatory, and Prof. Burnham, who is acquainted with all the great telescopes in this country and abroad, has given it as his opinion that the Yerkes lens is the peer of all. The wonderfully constructed lens has light-gathering powers that pierce far into the unknown, and even the hazy mists of the nebulae have been pene­ trated. Most of the objects connected with the nebula in Lyra, the great clus­ ter in Hercules amfcShe dumb-bell neb­ ula have yielded up their secrets in the past only through the agency of the photographic plates. Prof. Barnard has seen these only faintly at Mouut Ham­ ilton. At Lake Geneva he has been able to view them with unusual dis­ tinctness. After Prof. Barnard had swept the sky In the regidn of the neb­ ulae, lie pointed the instrument toward a region located to the astronomer in Pos. 312 degrees; Dist. 53 minutes. Prof. Burnham had frequently pointed the Lick instrument at the same spot with the expectation of finding some­ thing new. To Burnham on Mount Hamilton it was all space and nothing more. He watched whole nights and discovered nothing. He swung the giant tube toward the region, and the first discovery at the Yerkes observatory was registered on the dial near the dome. The unknown wanderer was found near Winnecke's companion to Vega. Although It might claim some distant relationship to Vega's compan­ ion, it is too far away to be considered as physically connected with the lumi­ nary and may have an orbit of its own As Vega has been one of the best ob served bodies of the heavenly wander­ ers, the discovery speaks volumes, for the new lens. It also disproves the theory of Prof. Lowell as to the unfav­ orable atmospheric conditions of the region in which the telescope Is located. The instrument, so auspiciously brought into the field of science, will be dedicated Oct. 21 and 22. In connection with the formal exercises a series of conferences on astronomical subjects will be held at the observatory and at the University of Chicago. The formal presentation of the observatory to the university by Mr. Yerkes will take place at 11:30 o'clock in the forenoon The principal orator for the occasion has not yet been appointed. In the evening a reception will be given to Mr, and Mrs. Yerkes and to the visiting meu of science.--Chicago Times-Herald. Why the Soldiers 'Were Too Short. Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditating fresh exten­ sion of her frontier at the expense of Holland a Dutch official of high rauk happened to be visiting the court of Berlin and among other spectacles got up to amuse him a review was organ­ ized at Potsdam. "What does your Excellency think of our soldiers?" asked Prince Bismarck as one of the regiments came march­ ing past in admirable order. "They look as If they knew how to fight," replied the visitor, gravely, "but they are not quite tall enough." The Prince looked rather surprised, but made no answer, and several other regiments filed past in succession, but the Dutchman's verdict upon each was still the same: "Not tall enough." At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance--a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied e rm the giant- lovingr,Ca*heV of Frederick the Great, but thef-iflexorable critic merely said: "Fine soldiers, but not tall enough." Then Prince Bismarck rejoined: "These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army; may I ask what your Excellency is pleased to mean by saying that they are not tall enough?" The Dutchman looked him full in the face and replied with significant em­ phasis: "I mean that we can flood our country twelve feet deep."--London Tid-Bits. Military Matters. Germany has a nickel steel gun whicfh throws a shell five miles every four seconds. • Cordite, which has been con­ sidered by the British as the ideal ex­ plosive, does not seem to give as good results practically as during the recent artillery practice at Okehampton. Sev-. en out of eighteen guns were disabled after the second round. The "'meteor- flag of England" will, float no more above her hosts on land as long as range «nd rapid firing £uns mean cer­ tain death to every color bearer, and the example will doubtless be followed by other nations, but how much of the poetry and heroism of battle will be swept away, every soldier knows who has ever rallied on. the color®, lor fol­ lowed the flag in some desperate charge or battled" against overwhelming odds to save from capture the bit of silk which meant patriotism, honor and ev­ erything nearest and dearest to the sol­ dier's heart.

Little Fannie Adams of Umatilla Curfcd of a Dreadful Malady--A Cure of Unusual Interest--A. Reporter Investigates. From the Lake Region, Eustis, Fla. , For some time past the Lake Region has been receiving reports froth Umatilla, r la., of an almost miraculous cure that had been effected in the case of Fannie Adams, a daughter of A. J. Ad anus, of that place, and last Saturday a represen­ tative of this paper made a trip to Uma­ tilla for tlie purpose of determining the authenticity of the same. The family live a short distance from the village, where it was found that the people were-eognizant of the cure which had been effected, and - Were rejoicing, with the family ih-their new-found happi­ ness. The father, A. J. Adams, is a hard-working honest farmer from East Tennessee, and the family came to Flor­ ida fftUf years ago in the hope that a change of .climate would be of benefit to their afflicted child. Much of their earnings have gone for doctors' bills, whose services, proved unavailing, The -representative was greeted by • Mrs, Adams, from whom he gained the story Of her great trial. ' Fannie, the youngest child, was born in East Tennessee, and was seven years, old on the third day of February. 1S97. When ten months old she was stricken with paralysis, which affected the entire left side: This stroke of paralysis was followed by convulsions, and from the time little Fannie was ten months old Until February, 1S97, there was not a single day or a night that she did not have spasms of the most distressing na­ ture, Not a single convulsion, but always three or four, and sometimes as high as ten in one day. The family was all broken down with care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one year she did not- go into her kitcheu to superintend her household work. All the fingers of the right hand of the little g?rl are enlarged and misshapen, caused by her biting them during the fearful suf­ fering. The case baffled the skill of the best physicians, and they were frank to say that they could not determine the cause, or prescribe a remedy to aid the afflicted child. But what a change now in that house­ hold; for little Fannie has recently been released from her six years of agony, which brings the light of happiness to the faces of the parents. In January, this year. Mrs. Adnnvs. who had purchased some of Dr. Will­ iams' Pink Pills for Pale People for her fourteen-year-old daughter, determined to try their effect upon little Fannie. After three or four-doses she noted an improve­ ment and then told the father what she had done. He at once went to the village and bought another box, and up to this time six boxes have been used. The first pills, Mrs. Adams states, were given in January, the latter part, and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth or twenti­ eth, and the child had her last convulsion on February 3d. nearly three months ago. Her general condition has improved in every way, and it was not a momh after the first pills were taken when she began to walk without assistance. The pills were liftught at the drug store of Dr. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to the question, did he, to his personal knowledge, know that the remedy had benefited Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents, the doctor said that he was a regular practicing physician, and as such was loth to recommend any pro­ prietary medicine, but still he was ready to do justice to all men. and he did know- that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pal<* People had benefited Fannie Adams, and also volunteered the Information that he knew of other children in the village who had been benefited by their use. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo­ ple contain, in a condensed form, all the elenients necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore ^shat­ tered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, suck as sup­ pressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sal­ low cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (nev­ er in loose bulk) at T>0 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail by address­ ing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Fought a Bit; Eagle. Taylor Hoffman of Jersey City came down to the pine woods of Atlantic County on a gunning expedition a few days ago, says the Philadelphia Rec­ ord. He lias had tolerably good luck, but ran plump into an experience on the trip which paid him for all the time spent iu looking for game. Hoffman had put in a hard day of tramping and by the end of the afternoon was pretty well fagged out, as was his dog. The weather was warm and the shade of the woods grateful, so Hoffman stretch­ ed himself out beneath a tree for a good rest. His dog dropped down close to him. Hoffman fell into a doze, but was soon awakened by a fierce commotion, in which canine howls were upper­ most. As he jumped up he beheld his dog In fierce combat with an immense bald eagle, and the beast was getting the worst of It. Hoffman was afraid to use his gun. because of the chances of killing his dog, so he got a club and sailed in. The bird of freecom quickly turned upon its new foe and fought as only eagles can fight. Hoffman found him­ self in a sorry predicament, for lie was no match for the big bird. So close was the fighting that he could not use the club to advautage, and the eagle had the sagacity to fly high enough to escape the dog, all the while using its great, ugly talons and beak with fierce strength. At length Hoffman fell ex­ hausted and his dog, with renewed strength, returned to the encounter. Weakened by the contest, the eagle took itself off and disappeared. Hoff­ man was cut and bruised in many places, but was not seriously injured. Cast Iron. For use in cleaning or finishing cast- iron after it is taken from the molds, a new machine called the sand blast is used, strong, pneumatic pressure blow­ ing the . sand against the iron with force enough to remove all projections, after which the sand and iron dust are sucked into a separator apd the sand returned for re-use.,.

TRYING ORIXEiLS FOR WOMEN, a#*., /Mrs. Pmkham Tells How Wo­ men May Avoid Painful Examinations. *>2 lyt>- To a modest, sensitive, high- Strung young woman, especially an unmarried wortian, there is no more trying of painful ordeal than the "examinations," which are now so common in hospitals and private practice. An examination by speculum, or otherwise, is sometimes a positive, necessity in certain stages of ttiany diseases peculiar to women, bo at least It is declared by the pro­ fession. This would not be the case if patients heeded their symptoms in' time. If a young girl's blood is watery, her skin pale and waxy looking, her lips colorless, bowels torpid, digestion poor, her ears and temples throb and she is subject to headache, begin, at once to build up her system with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Do not allow her to undergo a physical examination. Here is a letter from a young lady who requests that her name should not be used, but gives her initials and street number so that any inquiry addressed to her will be received. She says: " Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--It affords me great pleasure to be able to say a few words in regard to the merits of your Vegetable Compound. I was tempted to try it after seeing the effects of it upon my mother, and now I feel tihefc new person. I am a stenographer and was troubled with falling of the womb and female weakness in general. I continued to work until I was so weak I could no longer walk, and the last day I was forced to stop and rest. " I was then so ill that I was compelled to stay in- bed. and so nervotm that I could not hold anything in my hands.
