CAHCER CURED AND A LIFE-SAVED By the Persistent Use of Ayer's Sarsajsarill !a "I was troubled for years with a sore on my knee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring 'me that nothing could be done to save my life. .As a last "resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak ing a number of bottles, the sore warn began to disappear and my general health improve. I persisted in this treatment, until the sore was en tirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in deed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it." Mrs. S. A. Fields, Bloomfieki, la. .

STOrlY VJ- a RING. It Proved an 111 Omen to All Who Owned It. It is stated upon what appears to be good authority that in one of the parks in the Spanish capital city of Madrid a magnificent ring hangs by a silken cord about the neck of the statue of the Maid of Almodma, the patron saint of Madrid. This ring, eays Harper's Bound Table, though set with diamonds and pearls, is nevertheless entirely un guarded. The police pay no attention to it, nor is there any provision made for watching it by special officers, be- cause it is not believed that any thief, however daring, would venture to ap propriate it to his own use; and when the history of the ring is considered, it is hardly to be wondered at that a su perstitious people prefer to give it a wide berth. According to the story that is told of it, the ring was made for King Alfonso XII., the father of the present king of Spain. Alfonso pre sented it to his cousin, Mercedes, on the day of their betrothal. How short Iter married life was all know; and on lier death the king presented the ring to his grandmother. Queen Christina. Shortly afterwards Queen Christina died, and the king gave the ring to his sister, the Infanta del Pilar, who died within the month following. The ring was then given to the youngest daugh ter of the Due de Montpensier. In less than three months she died, and Al fonso, by this time fearing that tihere was some unlucky omen connected with the bable, put it away in his own treas ure box. In lees than, a year the king himself died; and it was deemed best to put the ring away from all the liv ing. Hence it was hung about the neck Df the bronze effigy of the Maid of Al modma, where it appears to be .as safe as though surrounded by a' cordon of police. , Kickien'i Ante Halve.

The coronation of the emperors of Ethiopia at Axoum, the. holy city of Abyssinia, is a ceremony unenualed in barbaric splendor in all Africa. It even touches the imagination of the white man, says the" Pall Mall Gazette, and arouses his black brother to delirious enthusiasm. The sacred person of the emperor, in great pomp, clothed in royal purple silk, with a gold cross in his hand, proceeds, on a horse with trappings of indescribable richness, to the church, followed by the dignitaries' and aristocracy of the empire, also clothed in all the richness lind bright colors of the east. Arrived before the sacred edifice, . on descending he finds many young girls, dressed in white. who prevent his entrance by bands of scarlet ribbon, and who cry: "Who are you that wish to enter the Church of Axoum ?" "I am your emperor, the negus neghesti (king of kings) of Ethiopia." "No, you are not our em peror, you are not the negus neghesti,' and three times they lower and raise the ribbon. On the fourth the negus cuts it with his sword, crying: "I am the king of Sion," in the midst of tre mendous acclamations. Conducted to the center of the edifice, to the sacred stone, which is only stepped over by the emperor, and by him once, the abuna (Abyssinian pontiff) advances amid breathless silence, gives unction, conse crates him, and he takes the solemn oath. Then, to the accompaniment of music, ringing of bells and dancing, he receives the imperial diadem. The oath runs as follows: "I swear to defend Christian truth and religion, to keep the faith of Mark, destroy apostates, and govern Ethiopia and its inhabitants in the holy name of God."
