By Lady Henry Somerset London. Dec. 12. Last week I was IJfX looking; out of the window of my rooms in Avunuon, wntsn x suuuemy udiiuoq a flag flying half-mast high. For a mo ment that symbol of death struck me as strange,. and then I looked again ana saw the yellow flag- with the black dragon, and remembered - that that amazing- woman, the dowager empress of China, lay dead in the forbidden city, and that here at the Chinese legation the history of China was transplanted into me very miast or utmaon. There Is probably no figure of this age who has a moreadramatle story, for she was undoubtedly the most remark able woman of our day. The Theodora and the L-ueretia Borgia of the east, she combined in her person the worst fem inine qualities and the most masculine political lnsignt ana energy. JTever elina.ulshe4 power. For 47 years she ruled over the mil lions Of the Chinese empire, ' and al though since 1889 the emperor was nominally the chief, sh neverf relin quished her power until she drew her last breath. No more pathetic scene, however, rould be Imagined than the deathbed of i this relentless old woman, dressed in her robes of state, with none to ap ; proach her, for the Chinese emperor and 5 empress die alone. She had been borne : into the death chamber in order to die i according to the rites of the Imperial ' house, observed for the last 8000 years, i I remember some time agdf one of our j - English admirals telling me of an audi ence that he had with the dowager em press. He was allowed only to approach within 60 yards, and then as he fell on bended knees he saw before him, dressed In magnificent Chinese embroid ered robes, the tall and rather slender figure. In a rigid attitude, covered with jewels and looking like an IdoL Her hair was black as ink, parted In the middle. All might have belonged to a painted stone carving, save the eyes, which glittered like those of a cebra. "She looked at me as though ahe saw, me and yet she saw not. I was as nnthlnar before her," he told me, while! riolltlcally she had the deepest interest n his visit. . Two years ago the empress matured her plans for the higher education of women, and sent to England to beg those interested In this subject to go i out to China to organize schools for the higher class Chinese girls. Lord and Lady William Cecil were chosen, and I was ameng the committee who asked to go. Perhaps it was one of the great est disappointments I have had that I at that mnmMit ' he of th party, owing to the fact that for fam-! ' uy reasons x was uuitw w muuu u England. - Btorjr ol Tsu TsL A resident of Peking has given us lately an interesting description of the time at which he saw Tau Tsi at the moment of her great humiliation. It was the time when the court were to return to the forbidden city, when they had fled before the allied troops, and when she and the emperor-bad -suffered almost a year's exile.. The great com pany , awaited the return of the fugi tives, the Chinese nobles on their Mon golian; ponies, gorgeous In the robes of state, 'the ladles of the harem carefully guarded In their green carts, and the whole strange crowd of the Chinese court, and then at the end of the pro cession the two yellow chairs ? covered with the peacock's feathers, containing, as the writer says, "the Son of Heaven v' and hie aunt" " ' -'i '-. Before the little temple the chairs were stopped, in order that the dowager ; empress should offer thanks for" her earn return. 4 -rj . The Boxers had 'burnt' the- templa tower, and a sham tower had been hastt 11 y erected in bamboo and matting, but that which met'her eye was the most oocnstoined eight tf all, namely en existence. His friends, if they beam too Intimate were removed and heard no more. The elaborate ceremonial and tradi tional ritual of the sovereign's life uran- tically claimed all his time. Rising at 2, at 8 he received ministers, man darins and other officials. As high priest or the Chinese he had to perform religious duties, to make offerings, to pour. iiDatlons and to go through end less rites of sacrifice. Ancient rites had to be observed - honor of agrlcul ture, which caused the emperor himself to plow a. sacred field, assisted by. the oldest peasants In the whole empire, and many other rites of a like nature claimed his time. But the man was crushed and thwarted, and his life was one of abject misery. His health was impaired, and at 63 he looked like an emaciated man or In November, i06, the wretched em peror attempted suicide by endeavoring tH- ..I.

This proud woman drank the cup of her humilia tion to the dregs, and then with that curious presence of mind which never deserted her, she turned to them and said: "I am glad to see you all." The secretary of the Dutch legation, who spoke Chinese answered: nT,hank you, JUKI IIIRjOabf "I. hone vou are all well." the dow ager empress said, and then she waa borne away to the forbidden city. Buffering of Beige. Another curious scene of which heard was one in which the dowager empress entertained the ladles of the diplomatic corps. They sat round her, nibbling Chinese sweetmeats and drink ing syrup and tea, while the woman who never hesitated to command the death of an von who stood in the wav of her ambition, who, even when fleeing from her palace, round time to have the emperor's favorite wife whom she dis liked flung down a well, nassed from guest to guest, stroking their arms or nha.ifo ant ma flnr mtn Tlr. mrnnn sh spoke of the suffering of the siege. At the end of the visit there was a dis tribution of splendid jewelry, and the ladles In a flutter of excitement left, laden with big rubles, emeralds and sapphires, but their pride was destined to have a fall, as the Tientsin Jeweler nronounced them to be colored glass set in thinly plated gold. This was another example of the way In which the dowager empress, in. spite or her shrewdness, was cheated by her officials, who had been ordered to pro cure the most costly articles, but who had pocketed the money destine for the S resents which were to be bestowd on i guests. Of the aorrowful emperor's death It Is needless to speak, for that has passed Into history.

Within a short time a temple will be raised ' to the emperor's name, and this temple, eventually destined to rail into decay, win be tne only me morial of this sorrowful figure.

Men Only Thorough preparation is the first essential for thorough work in medical practice. Upon this point my great success of effecting permanent cures where others have failed speaks sufficiently. I have gained practical ex perience by several years In the practitioners' field and by 25 years as a specialist In men's diseases. All these years have been years of observa tion, study and research. I have had every opportunity to acquire a thor ough knowledge of men' aliments. I have cast theories aside and have stepped out upon the truths that I have for myself ascertained. I have replaced Inaccurate and Inadequate treatment with methods and remedies of my own devising that are accurate, scientific and thorough. I have developed a system of practice as broad and comprehensive as the entire range or men s aumenis. "Weakness" My sucoess In permanently curing that condition commonly known as "weakness" fully demonstrates the absolute correctness of my method of treatment, which Is a method em ployed by mysejf alone. I do not stimulate the functions to tempor ary activity by the use of strong in ternal tonics. This Is the course commonly pursued by both general practitioners and specialists, and Is a treatment that cannot possibly re sult In a permanent cure. "Weak ness" is merely a symptom of chronic inflammation In the. pros tate gland, brought on by excesses, early dissipation, or by the Improp er treatment of some disease. A complete and radical cure Is, there fore, a question of restoring the prostate gland to its normal state, and this I accomplish promptly and completely without the use of in ternal remedies. My treatment is a local one entirely. It la original and scientific, and has been proved absolutely effective by thousands of tests. I am convinced that by no other methods can full and perma nent restoration of strength and vigor be accomplished. Stricture My treatment removes the neces sity of surgical operations, even in severe cases of long standing. No other physician employs my methods of overcoming this disorder, so the service I offer you is original and distinctive. Do not give up hope be cause others have failed. 1 will cure you and the cure will be a prompt and painless one. My treatment per manently removes all inflammation, relieves all irritation or congestion that may exist In the kidneys or bladder, reduces enlargement of the prostate gland and restores health and tone to all organs affected by the disease. Blood Poison This most troublesome of all dis eases can no longer be classed as In curable. The Idea that the limit of medical aid Is to keep the disease dormant by persistently dosing the system with poison is as Incorrect as many other ancient theories to which many of the profession cling. 6uch treatment not infrequently re sults In the virus being driven deep er into the system, where it attacks and destroys even the very bones of the sufferer. I positively drive the very last taint of poison from-.jthe system. The cure Is thorough and permanent, and every symptom of the disease vanishes forever. I em ploy no dangerous drugs or mineral poisons, but use harmless blood cleansing remedies heretofore un known in the treatment of this dis ease. I regard ray success aa the growing triumph of my professional career. Contracted Diseases To but partially cure a disease Is almost as dangerous as to allow it to go untreated. Unless every par ticle of Infection and Inflammation Is removed, the probability exists that the disease will gradually work its way into the general system. Still greater Is the danger of the firostate gland becoming chronically nflamed. which always bring par tial or complete loss of power. Per haps IS per cent of the cases of so called "weakness are a direct, re sult of some Improper treated dis ease. During the past five years I have treated over 8500 cases of these disorders and have effected an absolutely thorough and safe cure in each instance. There have been no relapses or undesirable develop ments whatever and my patients have been cured In less time than other and leas thorough forma of treatment require In producing even doubtful results. You Can Pay When Cured Consult Me Free If you are afflicted in any way It certainly -will be tosyour best interests to come In-and have a friendly talk with me. It : will i ave you a great deal of worry and anxiety. It will not cost you ONE CENT, and you will not bind yourself In any way to take treatment from me. I will tell yoa frankly what your condition is, and then you can decide for yourself as to whether I shall treat you or not If you cannot call, write. Correspondence invar iably has my personal attention and la regarded as strictly confidential. All replies mailed In plain envelopes. , . - , -, : DR. TATX.OB Til. leading Specialist My diplomas from the most cel ebrated medical colleges and hos pitals In the world, are hanging in my office, where my patients may see and examine them. All necessary X-ray examinations- are absolutely free to pa tients. My equipment for X-ray work Is the finest and most com plete ever produced, and equally perfect results are not possible with an Inferior apparatus. All medicines are prepared from standardized drugs in my own private laboratory. Varicocele Many men afflicted with varico cele are endangering their general health, their manly power, and even life Itself by allowing the disorder to remain uncured. Varicocele re sults from partial paralysis of the delicate nerve fibres that have a part In controlling local circulation of the blood. The muscular coating of the veins? being deprived of ner vous communication and control, be comes Inactive, weakens and relaxes. The blood vessels expand from the ?ressure within, the circulation from he parts becomes sluggish, and fre quently stagnant pools form' in little nooks and pockets that con stantly enlarge as the relaxation continues. The possibility exists that 'clots may form in these stag nant pools and then pass out into the general circulation. Should one find lodgment in a valve of - the heart the result might be instant death, or ahould It be carried to the brain, general paralysis would fol low. I guarantee to cure varicocele in one week by a method that Involves no cutting, no ligature, no caustio. No other physician ewploys a like method, and so thorough la my work that there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse into the old condi tion. Those who have been long af flicted with varicocele will never realise the injury It has caused until they feel the vim. energy and buoy-i ancy of spirit that a complete cure Will bring. Why My Cures Are Lasting , Because the .methods -: I ' employ meet even the moat minute details of these ailments to which they apply,- and are readily modified to meet the requirements of the Indi vidual cases. Because my treatment la ample.'sclentlflo and thomush, mv cures are eomplete and lasting, nn i my patients have no relaps-. ,r the; same reason I am unuaSiy m,', to cure in much less tlrne tl,n i commonly required in obtaining b it partial results. . .
